I was in my final year of high school, and my deskmate found out I was writing a novel!

Lu Chengyu didn't waste any time and went straight to the battery company to finalize the investment.

"Dr. Gao, the funds will be deposited into the company's account in the next month. Is there anything else you need help with? In terms of technology, we can invest or acquire companies."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Gao gripped Lu Chengyu's hand tightly. Their team really liked this investor!

They invest generously, don't get involved in management, and ask about technology right away, instead of those bloodsuckers eyeing the finances.

Look at this! He just invested and immediately asked if anyone needed help, and even went to help with the acquisition. What kind of amazing investor is this!

"Mr. Lu, not at the moment. Our technology is unique, and we hold all the patents. You could say we're at the forefront."

"Haha, Dr. Gao is really amazing!"

"What's so great about it? Actually, we've been researching this for many years, but we haven't made any significant progress. We've been making money from semi-solid-state lithium batteries to fund our research and development."

"By the way, Dr. Gao, I have an idea here. Would you like to hear it and see if it suits your taste?"

Then Lu Chengyu shared his idea of ​​building cars.

It wasn't that Lu Chengyu wanted to build cars; he didn't understand that area. He was in charge of the investment.

He certainly won't manage this investment company, but he definitely won't relinquish management control; having a say is still very important.

"Well...Mr. Lu, we're not sure when the batteries will be ready for mass production..."

"Let's prepare first. Even if it doesn't work out, our company has lithium batteries, right? We can use them as a temporary solution. Otherwise, it would be a waste to just sell such good technology. We need to maximize our profits, right?"

"We don't know anything about building cars!"

"Haha, I don't know either. We'll find someone who knows to run it. I'll be looking into motor companies to see if there are any suitable ones. We can either invest or acquire them. We'll source the electronic control system from Huawei. Oh, and we also need to bring in a car company. We'll all take shares, so it'll be a partnership. We'll still buy the batteries at market price, so Aunt Li can maximize her profits."

"Hmm, that sounds good, but I'm good at research, I'm really not good at management."

"Dr. Gao, in my opinion, managing the company is really a waste of your time. I think you can discuss finding a dedicated person to manage it, while you focus on the technology. But the manager can't be too domineering, otherwise you won't be able to conduct research and development in peace, hahaha."

Lu Chengyu jokingly revealed his true feelings: he wasn't after management rights.

He's in charge of investments; if every company wanted to get involved, he'd be exhausted.

"Let me discuss it with them."

"Okay, you're busy. Just give me a call if you need anything."

As soon as Lu Chengyu got into the car, he rubbed his stiff face, took a sip of water handed to him by his secretary, and then picked up his tablet to look at the information about motor companies that his team had collected.

He was very busy, but he felt very fulfilled, and that feeling was wonderful!

When Ye Feng got home, he picked up his daughter, who was crawling around on the mat, and kissed her twice, making her cry out. Then he put her down with a smile.

Miaomiao was lying there holding a book, watching the interaction between the father and daughter with a smile.

"What book are you reading?"

"this."

Ye Feng glanced at it and saw a parenting manual.

"Wow, is our Miaomiao trying to be a model mom?"

"What? I was just bored, honey, look at this, isn't it pretty!"

As he spoke, he took his phone out of the book...

When Ye Feng took a look, he was surprised to find that it was a piano, and a grand piano at that!

"I noticed there's no piano in this house yet. I'm planning to put one over there so I can listen to you play here, together with Xixi!"

"Okay, go ahead and buy it. I won't be so busy anymore after this period, and I'll play the piano for you every day then!"

Ye Feng said he was busy, but in fact, Lu Chengyu did most of the work. He was busy mainly because he made the decisions when Lu Chengyu was unsure of what to do.

Lu Chengyu has his eye on a motor factory. While its technology isn't top-notch, it's not bad either, and it has unique expertise.

However, the other party has no plans to raise funds, nor is it listed on the stock exchange, and a significant portion of its shares are held externally.

As for the investors, they don't plan to sell either. After all, the company is doing well, so why would they want to sell their shares?

Even with money, you can't get in; that's what's giving Lu Chengyu a headache right now.

However, there is a way. He plans to use Ye Feng's shares in the game company to exchange with those shareholders!

Sure enough, after he conveyed his idea to the other party through an intermediary, the other company became interested and wanted to discuss it.

After all, game companies are thriving right now, and new games are about to be released, so the capital market is very optimistic about them.

This is such a quick way to make money, of course they'd be willing.

This is where Ye Feng needs to step in.

"Mr. Ye, their valuation seems a bit inflated. They think they've got us cornered!"

"Heh, who cares? I'll just show up, you take the lead in the negotiations, and we'll see if things go terribly wrong!"

"Talking about a complete collapse?"

"Yeah, they're really pushing things to the brink. Do they really think they have us cornered? Don't they know how valuable our shares are right now? At worst, I'll just sell them to Tencent's Wealth Management. That company is indeed good, but so what? We can just acquire a smaller one and poach their talent!"

"Yeah, we don't need to fight to the death. We have plenty of options. At worst, we can just use Huawei's technology. After all, isn't all new energy technology just assembly?"

"That's the right way to think, and that's the attitude we should have when we talked!"

On the day of the negotiations, Ye Feng also attended in formal attire, but he acted as a mascot and basically didn't speak; Lu Chengyu did all the talking.

Lu Chengyu was also relaxed. If the other party lowered his price, he would lower theirs in return. Since he had a choice, he wasn't worried at all.

The other party, through investigation, also vaguely sensed Lu Chengyu's plan. They had intended to do something about it, but who knew the other party would have this attitude!

"President Ye, President Lu, we know you plan to develop the entire new energy vehicle industry chain, and the motor is an indispensable component!"

"Heh, our investment company is just looking to shift our investment focus right now. As for the motors you mentioned... your technology isn't the best, and your market share isn't the largest. I really can't understand where your confidence in this valuation comes from."

Lu Chengyu is really ruthless. Without any constraints, he's gone straight for the smug.

"We...we may not be the biggest, but we have our own technology!"

"Please, we want to invest, not acquire. As for you... you're just investors!"
