287: CATL's best option: Xu Xiang's charges have been established!

Four years ago, Zeng Yuqun and his founding team began their venture into the lithium battery industry.

CATL was the product of this venture.

It is no exaggeration to say that CATL is currently the largest new energy battery manufacturer in China.

Zhangbei Energy Storage Project.

Reached a cooperation agreement with BMW to develop power batteries.

Provided power batteries to Yutong.

These are the tough challenges CATL has overcome in recent years.

Just this year, they even acquired Brunp, preparing to create an ecological cycle of production-use-utilization-recycling.

However, this ambitious undertaking requires too much capital.

Their current company capabilities simply cannot achieve it.

Fortunately, the capital market was born for this reason.

They were originally in discussions with the China Development Bank Fund, but progress was very slow.

Because the demands from the China Development Bank Fund were very unreasonable; after all, new energy, while not a new concept, is not a hot investment industry right now.

If it's not hot, it's definitely niche.

For this niche, the China Development Bank Fund also wanted to minimize their investment.

But CATL had capital needs, so they could only grit their teeth and negotiate with the other party, hoping to get more funding.

Zeng Yuqun didn't know when such days would end.

But suddenly one day, the new energy sector in the A-share market began to surge wildly.

Various sectors were continuously rising, Institutions were buying frantically, and even Brother Lin entered the market.

When these pieces of news appeared, Zeng Yuqun knew that his spring had arrived.

The new energy track he had always held onto, due to Wang Lin's appearance, instantly became a hot investment industry.

Just look at the change in attitude of the China Development Bank Fund today.

"CEO Zeng, how about we sign the contract now according to the terms you mentioned before?"

The other party had a smile on his face that he had never seen before.

Zeng Yuqun shook his head at this moment and said, "Brother, times have changed. You didn't agree to those terms before, and I won't agree to them now."

"To be honest, besides you, Brother Lin has also contacted me."

As soon as these words came out, the other party's expression instantly changed.

With Brother Lin making a move, he knew that this matter was truly unstable.

"We are also willing to raise it to the same conditions!"

"You know, in new energy, while Brother Lin and his team are very sincere, we are equally sincere, and we can also provide some help that they cannot!"

All those previous words were nonsense.

But Zeng Yuqun knew that the last sentence he said was true.

He also knew Junlin Group; it was a formidable hegemon in the financial sector.

But in the new energy field, they had only just acquired Juntu Automobile.

If they wanted to develop, they truly needed the help of the China Development Bank Fund.

Therefore.

Even though he was displeased, he could only say, "Let's put this aside for now. I need to talk to Brother Lin first."

Upon hearing this, the other party smiled and said, "No problem, I'll await your reply!"

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Yuqun finally let out a deep breath.

What he had just said was to trick the other party; Junlin Group had not contacted them.

But the next second.

Zeng Yuqun's phone rang again. He answered it in confusion, and his previously furrowed brow instantly relaxed, his voice filled with unconcealed joy: "You are Brother Lin! Of course I have time, yes, yes, yes, I'm available for anything you arrange!"

After hanging up the phone.

Zeng Yuqun's smile wouldn't fade. He sighed with emotion, "Heaven is helping me! Now I'm not lying to him anymore; I really do have contact with Brother Lin!"

"Secretary, Secretary!"

Zeng Yuqun called out to his secretary, saying, "Book me the fastest flight to Zheng County! I want to see Brother Lin immediately!"

...Zheng County.

Downstairs at Junlin Group.

Zeng Yuqun rushed here with his team in a hurry.

His company was currently in urgent need of funds for expansion, but he was unwilling to sell off his company's shares cheaply.

Originally, as time passed, his confidence would gradually disappear, and he would eventually agree to the terms of the China Development Bank Fund.

However, in the original world, they weren't truly interested in investing in CATL; instead, they used a method of 'apparent equity, actual debt'.

Although they invested around 600 million, a few years later, CATL would still have to repurchase it.

It was just that the current Zeng Yuqun didn't know this.

After arriving downstairs at Junlin Group, Zeng Yuqun looked up and felt that Wang Lin was truly amazing.

Then he hurried upstairs.

In the VIP conference room.

Brother Lin personally received Zeng Yuqun, which made him feel flattered.

Who is Wang Lin?

Although he is a recent college graduate, he is also the head of Junlin Group and the current richest man in China.

He is the famous Brother Lin in the A-share market.

He is the Stock God who turned the tide in this stock market crash!

Most importantly, because of Wang Lin's continuous buying and optimism about new energy, the valuation of their CATL directly rose another level.

This was what shocked him the most.

"Hello, Brother Lin!" Zeng Yuqun said.

Wang Lin also looked at him. Zeng Yuqun, this big boss whose future market value could exceed one trillion and become the first trillion-market-cap company on the growth enterprise market, was now flying back and forth across the country for financing.

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Hello, CEO Zeng. I don't know if you've heard of my investment style: as long as I'm optimistic about a company, I don't look at this or that, I don't participate in operations, and I can even give you the voting rights."

"My only requirement is shares. Money is not an issue; I want as many shares as possible."

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Yuqun was dumbfounded.

Damn it.

He really hadn't heard of such an investment.

What's the difference between this and an angel investor?

This is even more awesome than an angel investor!

Even this sole condition, 'as many shares as possible,' was an advantage for the current Zeng Yuqun.

Didn't he hear Wang Lin say that he would even give him the voting rights?

What does this mean?

It means that the other party genuinely only wants to invest and not interfere with production.

Such an investment magnate could even bring many benefits to himself.

The primary benefit would be an unprecedented increase in his say within the company.

Even for this point alone, he should try his best to let him get more equity.

Not to mention the convenience that Brother Lin's vast company and his network of contacts could bring.
