Chapter 113 Never underestimate anyone
Chapter 113 Never underestimate anyone
Wang Quan may well have harbored thoughts of forming alliances and counter-alliances.
Looking at the current domestic market, in the field of new energy power batteries, it can only be said that BYD is the only dominant player, while the rest are all garbage, completely insignificant, and there is no hope in sight.
If we're talking about companies worth mentioning, then we should definitely mention Green Energy Core Power, which Ye Kai and his team have invested in.
As a professional, Wang Quan had carefully studied the technological development roadmap of Green Energy Core Power. Although it seemed to highly overlap with his own field, Green Energy Core Power had a much stronger accumulation of patented technologies.
With an initial investment of up to 400 million yuan and the unanimous optimism of investment banks such as Sequoia Capital, Wang Quan has every reason to believe that Green Energy Core Power will become a dark horse in the new energy power battery track.
The investment of less than 6000 million yuan that I just brought in is nothing compared to the already established Green Energy Core Power. I can only rely on my expertise to salvage some of the reputation.
Wang Quan knew that Zhou Xiaoli was likely to look down on him as a potential blind date, but she might still consider bringing him into her startup team to add some professional expertise to Green Energy Core Power.
Therefore, when Wang Quan and Ye Kai talked about their careers, their attitude became increasingly enthusiastic.
Although Zhou Xiaoli could understand some of what they were saying, she lacked interest.
If Ye Kai hadn't suggested that she accept Wang Quan's invitation to the dinner party and take the opportunity to probe his background, Miss Zhou would never have accompanied him to such a place.
Wouldn't it be more interesting to spend this time discussing the origins of humankind with Ye Kai on the hotel's large bed?
"Oh--"
Zhou Xiaoli couldn't help but yawn, covering her mouth with her hand and slightly frowning.
"Oh dear, it's getting late today."
"How about we schedule a time to talk again another day?"
Ye Kai glanced at the time on his wristwatch and was surprised to find that it was almost ten o'clock. No wonder Miss Zhou looked so listless; she must be sleepy.
"How about we continue our conversation somewhere tomorrow?"
Wang Quan had finally met a tech-savvy investor, and the excitement of their conversation hadn't yet faded. He was truly unwilling to let Ye Kai leave.
"I have a meeting with investors tomorrow, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to schedule a time. How about we reschedule for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow?"
After thinking it over for a while, Ye Kai arranged a time to meet Wang Quan again.
"Okay, see you there!"
"I'll find a place and call Mr. Ye then!"
Wang Quan excitedly shook hands with Ye Kai and decisively set a time with him.
After the three parted ways, Ye Kai and Zhou Xiaoli went straight back to the hotel.
"Even eating a meal is so tiring."
"If you ask me, you shouldn't talk about work outside of working hours."
Miss Zhou wasn't interested in Wang Quan at all. She really didn't understand how Ye Kai could talk to Wang Quan. Listening to them talk about their debate over technological development paths was really uninteresting.
"This guy's got some skills."
"Xiaoxiao, have you considered what better opportunities, besides technological advancements, there would be for our project to continue its rapid expansion after receiving investment from investment banks like Sequoia Capital?"
Ye Kai understood Zhou Xiaoli's feelings perfectly, smiled and laid her down on the big bed, then began to give her a full-body massage.
"Merger and acquisition?"
Miss Zhou closed her eyes, enjoying the extreme comfort Ye Kai brought her. She was no ordinary person, and immediately figured out Ye Kai's true purpose in befriending Wang Quan.
"That's right, it's a merger and acquisition."
"Although the projects invested in by Wang Quan and his team are not large in scale, they can still be claimed to be projects with investments of over 100 million yuan. Moreover, they have a certain number of patents to support them. In addition, with his own identity as a professional in the field of new energy power batteries, they can still create some hype."
"While we are committed to developing new energy power battery projects in a down-to-earth manner, we do not rule out using capital operations to enhance our strength and leave our competitors behind in every aspect."
Ye Kai patted Miss Zhou's bottom, telling her to turn around and change her position.
Ye Kaixin knew very well that simply focusing on technology was a dead end, but not understanding technology was also a dead end, and taking the wrong technical path was even more hopeless.
Only technologies that are supported by capital operations and follow the right path have a chance to last.
Whether it's hype, speculation, or mergers and acquisitions through capital operations, they are all necessary steps to achieve a great goal.
"I don't understand technology, but I respect it."
"I don't understand capital operation, but I respect it just the same."
"As long as we can achieve the ultimate goal, we can boldly make various attempts without violating laws and regulations."
Ye Kai stated his bottom line and principles on this issue to Zhou Xiaoli: anything not prohibited by law is permissible.
Under the premise of patriotism and law-abidingness, there seems to be no need to dwell on so many difficult questions that require consideration of humanity or morality, since most people cannot reach that level.
To be an industry leader who wants to set the trend of the times, you must have a strong heart.
"I've noticed... you're much more rational than the average high school student..."
"Many people at your age have a very strange competitive spirit and a strange kind of pretentiousness, and the combination of these two can only produce useless people."
Miss Zhou closed her eyes and continued to enjoy the comfort of Ye Kai's full-body massage, but she couldn't help but make a comment.
"It may also cultivate writers."
Ye Kai continued to knead Zhou Xiaoli's calves, then gradually moved them upwards, and added with a smile upon hearing this.
"puff!"
"How much do you look down on writers?"
Upon hearing this, Miss Zhou laughed so hard her body twitched, and she almost burst out laughing.
Ye Kai felt a sense of accomplishment watching Zhou Xiaoli smile so happily in front of him. He was really awesome to have transformed the originally aloof female teacher into this. He could put his hands on his hips for a while.
"Royal power is not as simple as it seems."
"Young people from wealthy and powerful families are born with various abilities to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Although their professional skills may not be that strong, they are definitely masters at manipulating people's hearts."
"You need to be extra careful when dealing with him."
Despite the jokes and laughter, Miss Zhou still shared her true feelings with Ye Kai, reminding him not to assume that Wang Quan was an easy target just because he was subservient to her.
These scions of wealthy families in the capital are all incredibly shrewd, even more so than monkeys. The reason they are temporarily at a disadvantage is simply because they haven't yet found the right opportunity to capitalize on.
Once in power, it's like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, or a phoenix soaring to the heavens.
"clear."
"As a poor student from a humble background, I will not look down on anyone."
Ye Kai nodded, deeply agreeing.
