Chapter 115 – Entrepreneur He Xiaopeng

Because Lu Yaohua had always been in the business industry, he was in charge of the company’s external investment department. This was an important part in the early stages. When the company developed, there would be unexpected earnings.
This happened to be his forte. When the Lu Corporation first started, he was out soliciting sponsors every day. With his glib tongue, there was basically no deal that he could not negotiate.
It was just that his position was reversed now—it was his turn to invest in promising projects.
At the thought of this, he realized that he was a higher-up in a way. He could not help but feel self-satisfied. Although he did not have as much status as before, it was enough to deal with ordinary people.
He looked at the appointments list. Perhaps because the Tang family had joined the company, many people came to ask for their investment every day.
He looked at the person waiting anxiously on the bench at the door and said, “Mr. Wang, come in.”
A young man in a suit walked in uneasily and sat opposite Lu Yaohua. He said, “Hello, Manager Lu. I’d like your company to invest in a web-based project. I’ve created an dating app with my partner. We offer the following advantages:
Firstly, we are very responsive. Secondly, we promote more diverse information. Thirdly, we offer a lot of freedom on our platform. Everyone can speak freely. According to my statistics, there are too few social media functions in the market at the moment, and they’re very controlled…”
Lu Yaohua was not interested. He said disdainfully, “You want my Lu Corporation to invest in such a thing? Kid, aren’t you thinking too simply of the industry? With your standards, I don’t think you’ll be able to make it in this lifetime. You might as well switch careers early! Get lost!”
The young man’s expression instantly turned ugly. He knew that although what he made was not outstanding, he should not have received such a low evaluation. He asked indignantly, “What did you not take a fancy to? Please give me a reason!”
“Reason?”
Lu Yaohua’s eyes were full of contempt as he said, “It’s my decision whether to invest or not. Do you have any objections? Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that? If you offend me, believe it or not, I’ll blacklist you in the company!”
The young man gritted his teeth in anger and left the place.
For some reason, Lu Yaohua felt secretly happy. It felt so good to do this! He knew that this person was talented, but he hated this kind of person the most!
He wanted to break their wings!
At that time, he wanted to see who could still stand above him!
The corners of his lips curled up as he said, “Next!”
A man in a checkered shirt entered and said, “Hello, Manager Lu. I currently own a Chinese fast food restaurant. I want the Lu Corporation to join us. I dare to guarantee that this will definitely allow your company to obtain huge profits in the short term. There are three reasons.”
He paused for a moment and continued, “It has a very wide market. Throughout the industry, Chinese fast food restaurants dominate the market share. Moreover, the project’s unique characteristics are obvious. Chinese fast food restaurants are not limited by their geographical location. Their prospects are broad. In addition, the research and development of food products is awesome. They offer nutritional value and a variety of cuisine…”
“It’s not easy to run fast food restaurants. The Lu Corporation is not a small company. Investments naturally have to be carefully considered. Besides, what good results can a poor person like you achieve? Get out!”
Lu Yaohua attacked bluntly.
The man in the checkered shirt frowned and said, “Manager Lu, don’t you think you’re going too far? You’re just a manager. You’re defaming your company!”
“Ha, this company used to be mine. I can do whatever I want. What has it got to do with you?! Get lost quickly! Don’t get in my way!”
Lu Yaohua sneered.
A bespectacled man outside the door waited anxiously. From time to time, he would look inside. To his surprise, those who came out would swear. “Sick!”
What’s going on?
Could it be that this professional manager is very difficult to deal with? he thought.
He became even more nervous.
It was not until the next name was called that he realized it was his turn. He gulped and walked in with the documents in his hand. “Hello, I’m He Xiaopeng. I used to be an Internet browser software developer. The project I’m bringing this time is Little Peng Smart Cars.”
The project inspired by his name was the result of his years of research. He was confident that the Lu Corporation would invest in it!
So he took a deep breath and said, “I want to model Elon Musk’s Tesla project and make a new energy car that belongs solely to Shanghai. It offers three advantages. First, I want to talk about its appearance.
I’ve used the interstellar design element inside, and the LED light runs through the entire car. Even among a group of cars, it’s quite recognizable. Not only is the body streamline, but I’ve also specially designed a slickback. One look and you can tell it’s a coupe.
The second advantage is performance. No matter how good a car is, it needs to be durable, right? All our cars are natural electric cars. The rear engine is also equipped with a permanent magnet. The maximum power is 267 horsepower. The maximum acceleration at 100 kilometers is 6.3 seconds, and the average is 6.7 seconds.”
He Xiaopeng flipped the documents and showed a photo to Lu Yaohua. He said, “The last and biggest advantage is that the products we make can completely free our hands. We can replace our hands with voice commands. These are all features that have yet to appear on the market or are still emerging.
Trust me, this is definitely a sure-win project!”
When he first heard that He Xiaopeng wanted to emulate Musk, Lu Yaohua wanted to mock him for overestimating himself. Musk was the top Business Person of Fortune Magazine’s annual list! He had even won the Edison Invention Award!
The person in front of him was a nobody. Lu Yaohua wondered where he got the guts to say all that.
The more he listened, the more stunned he was. This product was really not bad. It would fill a gap in the market now.
However, when he heard that it was a sure-win deal, he experienced the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder that he suffered from after being tricked by Lu Ming. He sized up He Xiaopeng suspiciously. Could this be another trap set by Lu Ming?! he wondered.
The Dogecoin speculation and the Feng Shui master who tricked me into selling land. Perhaps the project this time is the same? The goal is to make me leave the Lu Corporation!
He increasingly felt that this was very likely to be the case. It was similar to the previous sugar-coated bullets!
He Xiaopeng did not know what he was thinking.. He only saw one expression after another, so he asked cautiously, “What do you think?”
