Whether investing in NIO or Xiaopeng, it is actually just pursuing economic returns. As for acquiring them, unless they really can't continue to operate in the future, it would be impossible to have a chance.

In more than a year, NIO will have serious problems with funds, and the same is true for Xiaopeng. These two companies thought of merging to solve the funding problem in their previous lives.

If one can acquire one, it can also fill the gap in the beam in the high-end market, but this possibility is not great. The biggest possibility is to take advantage of the low stock price, the beam's capital will significantly purchase stocks and even the equity in the hands of some major shareholders. When these two companies come out of the trough, they will cash out with the trend.

If you operate well, it is no problem to earn 50 or 6 billion US dollars. Such a large amount of funds is enough to have a huge impact on the operation of the beam. After all, the money spent on building a car is too ruthless, so Zhou Yujie dare not underestimate it. He must try his best to get fast and high returns. Investing in several promising electric vehicles in the future is the best way.

......

It was soon May, at Hong Kong International Airport, a Gulfstream G650 plane was like a swift, sliding down from the air.

G650 and ordinary Boeing or Airbus do not need special ladder racks at the airport. After the machine door is lowered, it is a ladder.

Several Chinese wearing short-sleeved shirts walked off the plane. May in Hong Kong is the best time to wear short-sleeved shirts.

"Mr. Zhou, this plane is really good. I have been in the first class of A380, which is far inferior to your private plane." Rebs said with a smile after getting off the plane.

Zhou Yujie said: "After Xiaomi is launched this time, you can also buy one."

As the Hong Kong Stock Exchange lifted restrictions on AB shares, domestic Internet companies suddenly became willing to come to Hong Kong to list. Hong Kong is close to China, and compared with the United States, there will not be too many approval processes, nor will it involve many privacy issues.

For investors, Hong Kong stock trading is far less than the United States’ requirements, and it can cash out earlier and leave the market earlier. When entrepreneurs and investors are happy, the push will naturally be quick. Xiaomi also applied for listing in Hong Kong under this situation. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is preparing to know Xiaomi’s scale, so it naturally approved it quickly.

So Rebs brought a group of senior executives to Hong Kong. After Zhou Yujie learned about it, he specially sent a plane to pick up Rebs and others.

Rebs looked at the plane behind him and asked, "How much does this plane cost?"

"If you add tax, it will be about 550 million yuan." Zhou Yujie said.

"It's so expensive." Rebs frowned and said, "It's better to buy a Boeing 737 and modify it. The space will be much more. Your plane can only be seated for 20 people."

"There are also benefits of smallness. The cruising height of Gulfstream is higher than that of Boeing and Airbus, which is relatively safer, and has low requirements for the airport and much less fuel consumption." Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

Rebs smiled and said, "Do you still care about that little fuel consumption?"

Zhou Yujie shrugged and said, "I just think it's unnecessary. What kind of plane do you want to buy depends on your needs. If you are really a rich man, you can buy an A380."

Rebs sighed and said, "Forget it, I just think about it. It's a bit too much to buy a plane now, and private planes may have negative effects on Xiaomi."

Zhou Yujie has many industries and strong funds. No one will say anything when buying a plane, but Xiaomi is taking the cheap cost-effective route. If Xiaomi buys an airplane after it goes public, it may have a negative impact on the popularity. In addition, he does not need such luxury items. You must know that he usually eats boxed lunches with his employees and makes money, which is not necessary for him to enjoy.

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't buy it. I don't use much of this plane. You can borrow it and use it."

"Free?" Rebs asked.

Zhou Yujie rolled his eyes and said, "It's free, but you can pay for the fuel."

"This is no problem." Rebs said generously, either without hesitation.

Zhou Yujie shook his head and said, "It's about to go public. You'd better think clearly about how to spend it after getting such a large sum of money?"

Although before listing, there is generally a plan for how to use the funds raised in the stock market in the future, this is just a rough framework, how much is used in this field and how much is used in that field, but in fact, how to use it is another matter.

The two of them got on the Mercedes-Benz business car that had been prepared long ago. Rebs looked at the steel jungle flashing outside the window and said, "Actually, this time I invited Mr. Zhou, you to Hong Kong. In addition to cheering Xiaomi on the listing, I also want to discuss with you how Xiaomi should go next?"

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Mr. Lei, my main business is not a mobile phone. I am not very proficient in this regard. Moreover, I don't have too many shares in Xiaomi now, so I won't be able to discuss the future, right?"

Zhou Yujie's investment in Xiaomi is actually 10% of the early shares. Later, Xiaomi raised several financings, and Zhou Yujie's equity has dropped to about 5%. It's not that there is no chance to increase the equity ratio. However, Zhou Yujie later felt that when Xiaomi was favored by capital, the return on reinvestment was no longer high. Perhaps it was still good for ordinary venture capital investors, but Toutiao obviously looked down on it.

Rebs shook his head and said, "Sharing is actually just a false reputation. If Mr. Zhou is willing, I can ask you to raise funds again, and it is okay to get a 20% discount, but I don't think you are willing to do so.

As for whether you are familiar with mobile phone operations, I am actually the same as you, and I don’t understand it either. I have always been in charge of user experience. I hope Mr. Zhou can give me opinions outside of mobile phone business?”

"Outside the mobile phone business?" Zhou Yujie said: "Isn't Xiaomi's strategy centered on Xiaomi mobile phones to realize the Internet of Things? There is still a lot of room for development in the Internet of Things."

Rebs shook his head and said, "These are all done, but with Xiaomi mobile phones as a link, it can only be said to be able to enter these markets. However, if you want to challenge the giants in the home appliance industry, it is not enough to rely on this. At present, we are already operating this business, but none of them can effectively gain a certain market share, even if you are creative, users have long been used to ordinary home appliances and home appliance market brands. If you don't change the changes in the mobile phone industry once, it is difficult for this market to change greatly.

As for mobile phones, the domestic market is basically the end, and it can only develop overseas markets. Xiaomi currently focuses on India and South Asia, but it has a certain room for growth, but it is good to be able to stabilize the growth period for 5 years. Moreover, the external market is very fierce, not only overseas brands, but domestic OPPO, vivo, and Huawei are also making this idea. The overseas market, like the Internet of Things, can provide some profit, but in the end, it cannot bet on the future of the company."

Zhou Yujie thought for a while and said, "The dividends of mobile Internet are basically almost over, and the same is true for mobile phones. The improvement of hardware now also extends the time for Android users to replace mobile phones. As for the Internet of Things, I think you should not try to challenge leading companies such as air conditioners and refrigerators. You can get a part of the market, but it is impossible to defeat them.

However, you can try some emerging new home appliances, such as sweepers. This thing involves algorithms, which can be said to be the advantage of our Internet companies. The market has just begun and is a blank area. There are also some home appliances that domestic people do not use very much, such as dishwashers, ovens, etc. These products have been proven that Chinese users do not like to use them. But if Xiaomi can have any creativity, it may be successful. Anyway, opportunities and risks coexist. Whether they can succeed depends on luck and innovation strength."
