Chapter 1457 A slightly complicated cooperation
Will Vipshop lose money if it goes public?
This answer came to Lu Heng after he had an in-depth understanding of the company.
If we had changed the period, one or two years earlier, we would definitely not have lost money.
But if it were in this recent period, it might really be a loss, after all, where is the market environment.
From this point of view, Jerry's objection is actually very defensible.
But investment income is one thing, and business development is another.
When Vipshop can achieve profitability, its momentum in the stock market will inevitably improve.
Judging from the information collected by Lu Heng, once Vipshop's logistics system is completed, the overall cost will decrease, and with the increase in the number of orders, losses will naturally turn into profits.
By then, it will be harvest time.
This is also an important reason why Lu Heng supports Shen Ya.
E-commerce is no better than industry, most of which have insufficient liquidity and come from venture capital.
It can be seen that Shen Ya does not like the dispersion of equity brought by venture capital. When he lacks funds, he would rather choose to go public.
Even if you are currently losing money.
Another point, in Lu Heng's memory, before his rebirth, Vipshop was developing very well, and he did not make any intervention this time. According to historical inertia, success is inevitable!
After attending Vipshop's shareholders' meeting, Lu Heng did not return directly to Chongqing.
There is something that has been put off for too long, and it is time to do it.
It only took two or three hours to transfer from Guangzhou to Shenzhen, and Lu Heng met his old friend again.
China Resources Vientiane City, one of the most prosperous business districts in Shenzhen, Xiaomi mobile phone flagship store opened here today.
There was a long queue early in the morning to buy the newly released Xiaomi first-generation mobile phone.
It's slightly different from what I remembered. This time, Lei Jun's layout of the mobile phone industry seems very grand.
From the beginning, we have comprehensive coverage from online to offline.
Flagship stores are springing up all over the country, often in bustling business districts.
As the first flagship store in Shenzhen, Lei Jun was present in person today, hosting the opening ceremony and meeting many rice fans.
Lu Heng met him here just by chance, but he also came here specially.
Sitting in a quiet coffee shop, looking at the popular Xiaomi mobile phone flagship store downstairs, Lu Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Soon, Lei Jun came up from below after finishing his work.
"Why are you here? Are you trying to support me?"
Lu Heng chuckled lightly, "Brother Jun, you've already embarrassed me. Do you still need me to support you?"
Lei Jun chuckled and sat down opposite him, his eyes subconsciously falling on his flagship store.
Yes, now I no longer need others to help me support the scene.
When Xiaomi Technology Company was founded, relying on its reputation and a top-notch founding team, the outside world directly gave it a sky-high valuation, as high as 500 million US dollars.
Yes, Xiaomi had nothing at that time. It only relied on a few people and the word "Lei Jun" to make people trust it.
With the Xiaomi mobile phone launch conference held in August, the outside world’s valuation of Xiaomi continues to rise.
Online reservations opened in September, and within half a day more than 300,000 units were sold.
Of course, this is just a reservation. Due to Xiaomi's production capacity, hundreds of thousands of units were actually sold that month.
But the market feedback is there. Now Xiaomi mobile phones are in short supply and will sell as many as they produce. The hot queue scene at the flagship store today is an example.
It’s hard to find a chance!
In response to this enthusiastic market reaction, Xiaomi's valuation has been continuously raised, and now it has reached more than 4 billion US dollars.
Converted into RMB, it is more than 20 billion!
As a so-called unicorn company, Xiaomi immediately became the leader among unicorns on the day its product was released.
And all this is just the initial stage.
At this time, Lei Jun no longer needs anyone to support him.
He is the big scene!
Lei Jun shook his head, not indulging in this "trivial success". Apart from anything else, the little brother in front of him may have already secretly surpassed himself in his current achievements. He has nothing to be proud of.
.
Yes, in Lei Jun's opinion, Lu Heng may have surpassed him.
The outside world may have only focused on Lu Heng's various investments over the years and subconsciously ignored the Hengcheng Group where Lu Heng started.
But Lei Jun knew very well what a huge monster that group company was.
That is to say, it is not listed on the market, and various financial statements are not transparent. But according to Lei Jun, the valuation of Hengcheng Group is definitely higher than that of Xiaomi Technology now.
It's just that due to the difference in exposure between the traditional retail industry and the Internet industry, it's hard for people to feel it intuitively.
Looking away, Lei Jun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Heng with interest.
"Tell me, why did you come to see me specifically? I don't believe what you said on the phone. You just stopped by to see me."
Lu Heng shrugged, "It's true that I'm just on my way, but I have something to do with you."
"tell me the story."
"Remember when I was in the United States, I wanted Xiaomi to cooperate with Ele.me!"
Lei Jun was startled, there was such a thing, but after returning to China, the young man Wu Mingming only communicated with him a few times, but no in-depth cooperation was achieved.
What did Lu Heng mean when he brought it up at this time?
Lu Heng said unhurriedly: "I didn't finish what I said at the time. I just felt that this kind of cooperation was really not a good thing for you, Brother Jun."
"Oh?" Lei Jun raised his eyebrows, "Then you come to me now if you have a promising cooperation?"
Lu Heng knocked on the table, "That's right. There is a more complicated cooperation. As a representative, I plan to talk to you."
Complex! Representative?
Lei Jun became interested and stared at Lu Heng with interest.
“Although my focus has been on the group these years, I have also done something in the Internet industry and opened several companies. Now, I plan to let these companies cooperate with Xiaomi. I don’t know.
What do you think."
"Are you hungry?"
"For one, there are Youzi Technology and Xiaoshuidi, and there is also Fungus Technology. The products of these companies all need to be developed with the help of smartphones. Now Xiaomi's mobile phone market has huge potential, but its market share is not yet
Come up, so I plan to take this opportunity to reach a cooperative relationship with you first."
Lu Heng said slowly, the last fungus technology is Lin Su's company.
He added this later, and the time was just right. It was released not long ago, and it was very synchronized with the release of Xiaomi mobile phones.
Lei Jun frowned. No wonder Lu Heng said it was complicated, and he also wanted to be a representative.
There are four companies at once, in other words, at least four products are cooperating with Xiaomi mobile phones, which is indeed a big business.
"Please tell me the specific situation first, how to cooperate, and introduce the products of these four companies. Some of them are not familiar to me."
Chapter completed!
