Jia Yueting, 5 years away to build a car successfully, can this time turn over smoothly?

Give him a press conference, and as soon as he opens his mouth, he who prides himself on being introverted can make countless rich people want to move.

Give him a PPT, he can harvest 2 investment bigwigs and 17 investment institutions.

With his own efforts, he played nearly 20 star shareholders and 260,000 shareholders in the palm of his hand, and cashed out 20 billion yuan.

It is estimated that even Nie Feng, the founder of "Understanding Applause", can't help but sigh when he sees it: Even if I give me 10 Faraday FF91s to open the way, he is still an existence that I can't catch up.

Give him a plane ticket, and he can play Lao Mei around.

The moment he became the founder of Faraday Future, everyone who got on board knew that it was too late.

In 2023, Faraday Future announced that the new car will be priced at $309,000, with priority for "experts" to buy by invitation.

If you want to ask, you must pay for the reservation first, and if you want to have a car, there is no one.

This move is undoubtedly the top Yang strategy in the car manufacturing industry.

If you invite and do not pay, you are not a qualified expert, and if you want to maintain the title of "expert", you have to pay a deposit.

It is estimated that Xiao Fat, the founder of the "Nine Turns of the Great Intestine", could not give a pertinent evaluation when he saw such an operation, and could only smile heartily.

He is Jia Yueting, an ace harvester that can travel all over the world with a set of PPTs.

What kind of legendary life does Jia Yueting, who is called Niu Wa by the villagers in his hometown, have?

Growing background

In a small village in Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province, Jia Yueting was called Niu Wa by the villagers, and the children in the family had an older brother and an older sister in addition to him.

At that time, Jia Yueting's family was not rich, the house was a typical adobe house, and even the windows were made of plastic sheeting.

Jia Yueting's personality is full of contradictory attributes, and in Fa Xiao's impression, he is a moral, hard-working and clever person.

In the impression of some villagers, Jia Yueting is a very smart person, although a little naughty, but his grades have always been very good.

After his brother and sister were admitted to university, many villagers thought that Jia Yueting would also be admitted to university and become a teacher like his father.

But facts have proved that every step of Jia Yueting's life is unexpected by others.

In high school, Jia Yueting had decent grades, skipped school once, was beaten by his mother, and then repeated for a year.

After graduating from high school, Jia Yueting did not become a teacher, but entered a junior college and studied accounting in Shanxi Finance College.

In school, he did not devote himself to accounting, but learned computers.

In the process, he also fell in love with a female classmate named Li Li, whose father was said to be a local county magistrate and later became Jia Yueting's first wife.

Don't think that Jia Yueting had nothing to do during school, he made many friends during his junior college studies.

In particular, the people in the photo below have become leaders in the financial industry in the future, and Jia Yueting's future business empire is indispensable to their additions.

In 1995, Jia Yueting graduated from junior college and did not become an accountant after graduation.

Under the arrangement of Li Li's family, he worked as a network administrator at the tax office.

In the process, Jia Yueting got married and had a child.

It is estimated that he does not want to weld his whole life to the 9-to-5 job, which Jia Yueting did not last long.

After less than 10 months of working as a network administrator, Jia Yueting resigned.

It is said that after Jia Yueting resigned, he was often seen driving a car around the surrounding county for a period of time.

Usually they stop at a place, stand alone and watch for a long time, and then walk away.

He looked busy, but he didn't know what he was doing.

However, with Jia Yueting's follow-up actions, the answer is imminent.

In 1997, Jia Yueting decided to go to the sea to start a business and open a company of his own.

But at that time, Jia Yueting had only graduated for a year, and his previous salary was only a few hundred yuan a month, how could he open a company by himself?

Then Jia Yueting thought of his wife Li Li, and later established Yuanqu County Excellent Industrial Co., Ltd. with a registered capital of 500,000 yuan.

Early days

It is said that Jia Yueting did not pay a penny when he opened the company, and the actual controller of the company was not him.

It is estimated that this is one of the reasons why his first marriage failed, but it does not matter, it does not affect his enthusiasm and desire for entrepreneurship.

As for the level of enthusiasm, just look at the business of this company.

Through the information, it can be seen that the company of Excellent Industry operates a lot of projects, including coal washing, transportation, printing, and even catering.

But he must have made some money, because he also opened a computer training school in the middle, although it did not last long.

Later, I don't know what kind of operation Jia Yueting used to raise more than 5 million yuan to open an excellent bilingual school, but it was closed not long after.

In general, as long as it is profitable, from opening a school to opening a restaurant, Jia Yueting wants to mix everything, but most of them end up being chicken feathers.

However, Lao Jia had long left a way back for himself, and after a period of time, Jia Yueting often ran to Taiyuan City, during which he met a woman named Wang Fan.

Soon after, Jia Yueting and Wang Fan jointly funded the establishment of a company called "Taiyuan Xiber" in Taiyuan.

The company's main business is electronic engineering, as well as the retail and wholesale of electronic products and the sale of electrical accessories.

In 2000, the marriage between Jia Yueting and his first wife Li Li came to an end.

At the same time, Jia Yueting pulled his brother into the group, and Wang Fan transferred all his shares to Jia Yueting's brother.

Therefore, there are rumors that this Wang Fan is Jia Yueting's second wife.

Whether it is true or not, this Wang Fan withdrew from Jia Yueting's life stage after transferring the shares under his name to Jia Yuemin's name, as if he could not find any footprints in the world.

In 2002, Jia Yueting pocketed most of Unicom's business in Shanxi, and the company turned from losses in the past three years to profits.

At this time, Jia Yueting began to change the name of the company, from the original Taiyuan Xiber to Shanxi Xibel, which was of great significance to him.

This means that the Jia Yueting family has finally had a landmark industry and a certain reputation in Shanxi Province.

Relying on the business he got from Unicom, Jia Yueting soon made millions and ushered in an era of barbaric growth in his business empire.

Savage growth

As business became full, Jia Yueting quickly opened the company to Beijing.

It was at this moment that he had an encounter with Gan Wei, and it was said that Jia Yueting moved first.

Gan Wei went down to a dinner party under the guidance of her teacher, and at that time, she was wearing a military green coat, and her plain face suddenly crashed into Jia Yueting's heart.

After several meetings, Jia Yueting and Gan Wei soon became a pair of mandarin ducks in love.

It is said that because of his introverted personality, Jia Yueting has to pull a few light bulbs every time he goes on a date to bolster his courage.

However, this personality seemed to make Gan Wei feel very secure, and she later said: "In Beijing, except for my teacher and my husband, I hardly recognize people. ”

In 2004, before the 3G network came out, Jia Yueting seemed to have received guidance from experts.

That year, he founded LeEco in Beijing to advance the layout for upcoming 3G streaming.

According to the current data, the decentralization of 3G licenses is still at least four years away from this period, and it has to be said that Jia Yueting's vision is too advanced.

The problem of license plates cannot be solved, and another way out has to be found, but the imminent popularization of 3G networks has given Jia Yueting a little inspiration.

He concluded that the arrival of 3G networks would subvert mobile phones and video websites, so he set his sights on homemade dramas and the purchase of film and television rights.

At first, no one cared about film and television copyrights, and buying it back was equivalent to pressing the bottom of the box, but the money was too slow.

Then he set his sights on the self-made drama, which can please his little girlfriend and make money, why not?

In 2006, a mobile phone streaming TV series "Engagement" became Gan Wei's masterpiece, but he never wanted to respond to the mediocre income.

In 2007, Jia Yueting packaged the Siber company and got it listed abroad.

This time, he successfully raised 200 million, his net worth skyrocketed instantly, and soon after, he and Gan Wei, who had been dating for 4 years, obtained a marriage certificate.

If the story ends here, Jia Yueting can be regarded as a winner in life, but obviously he will not stop there.

In 2009, more than 80 film and television companies formed an "anti-piracy alliance" to "encircle and suppress" some video websites.

At this time, LeEco's film and television copyrights at the bottom of the box come in handy.

Among the "anti-piracy alliance" formed by more than 80 film and television companies, LeEco is the most powerful.

LeEco's every move was each time called a "large-scale" event by the media.

At this time, the copyright fee is actually not high, even if the lawsuit is won, the compensation will be tens of thousands of yuan.

Let LeEco play a resounding reputation, this is the biggest gain.

The copyright dispute has reached a fever pitch, and video websites under the three major portals such as BAT are fighting for blood.

Before that, no one knew what LeTV was, and after this battle, LeEco has become a non-negligible existence on the Internet.

Many video sites want the copyright to buy LeEco, and even the Internet giant Tencent has shown a fawning meaning.

With the skyrocketing copyright fees, LeTV has finally become one of the giants of video websites, and many film and television companies and investment institutions have thrown olive branches.

In 2010, LeTV was successfully listed on the Growth Enterprise Market, and Jia Yueting took advantage of this shareholder wind to become LeTV Pictures, while pulling dozens of big stars to the platform.

After two rounds of financing, LeTV Pictures has a valuation of up to 20 billion, and Gan Wei, who is only 26 years old, has also become a presence that many people in the entertainment industry want to climb.

After 7 years of barbaric growth, Jia Yueting, who wants to enter the LeEco era, began to make a big move.

LeEco era

In 2011, Jia Yueting began to expand his business aggressively, and LeTV also launched a sports channel.

In the year since, Mr. Jia began selling TVs, set-top boxes, and even e-commerce sites.

The covering business is wide and miscellaneous, and the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and the funds are finally unable to bear.

In 2014, there was news that LeEco's financial status was not optimistic, but this news was covered by Jia Yueting's LeEco mobile phone launched in a timely manner.

In May 2015, LeTV's share price was pushed to a peak, reaching nearly 180 yuan per share.

And Jia Yueting also began to frantically reduce his holdings, cashing out a total of 2.5 billion in three days.

In September, LeEco cashed out 3.2 billion again by way of equity transfer, and a month later LeEco faced a suspension of trading.

At this critical moment, Gan Wei's Leyang Film and Television gave LeEco a mouthful of blood.

In December 2015, Le Yang's "Crown Princess Promotion" under Gan Wei's Le Yang Film and Television ushered in a hit.

More than 2 billion playback hits made Zhang Tianai, who was originally a small transparent in the entertainment industry, popular overnight.

After Le Yang Film and Television completed the A round of financing, the valuation was as high as more than one billion.

Immediately afterwards, Gan Wei transferred all her shares in the name of Leyang Film and Television to LeEco, and at the critical moment, she poured a mouthful of ginseng soup into LeEco, but this was only a drop in the bucket.

At the end of 2016, the news that LeEco had no money could no longer be hidden, and Jia Yueting had to come out and admit it.

At this time, the suppliers and creditors under LeEco stopped working, and one by one blocked the door of LeEco Building to collect debts.

Just when everyone avoided Jia Yueting, Sun Hongbin took the initiative to come up.

It is said that Sun Hongbin and Jia Yueting, the two fellow villagers, met for the first time and chatted for 8 hours, and the cooperation plan was finalized on the same day.

At the press conference of the cooperation, Sun Hongbin showed his confident side: "The first time I met Lao Jia, I knew that he was a person with dreams, and I probably knew LeEco better than Lao Jia about investment." ”

After listening to Sun Hongbin's evaluation, he directly made Jia Yueting laugh.

Just half a month later, Sun Hongbin gave tears of regret for what he said and the decision he made.

Sun Hongbin waved his hand and gave LeEco 150 billion, and after the money was given, he found that LeEco was a mess.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Hongbin became the actual controller of LeTV, and Jia Yueting was kicked out.

At the 2017 LeEco results conference, Sun Hongbin, an investment boss who made a lot of billions of dollars, burst into tears, and said the classic saying: "Borrow him another 10 billion, I'm stupid?" ”

After leaving LeEco, where did Jia Yueting go?

After saying "I'll be back next week", Jia Yueting ran to Laomei for a meeting, saying that he wanted to build a car.

External propaganda is planning grand plans, and people who really believe in it run to find out as soon as possible.

After seeing the wasteland, he cursed and cursed, and almost couldn't get a car when he came out.

Despite this, there are still people rushing up, this person is Lao Xu, who has the same dream of building a car as Jia Yueting.

The era of car building

I don't know what kind of personality charm Jia Yueting has, even if he makes Leshi a chicken feather, there are still investors who come forward.

In 2018, after learning that Jia Yueting wanted to build a car, Lao Xu, who also had a dream of building a car, also came up.

To this end, Lao Xu also specially flew to Lao Mei to investigate the local area.

Whether Lao Xu saw the factory or not is unknown, but this trip made him willingly shell out $2 billion.

Building a car is a technical job, as for whether it is a money-burning technology or what technology, we ordinary people do not know.

But in Jia Yueting, it may be the technology of burning money, and the 2 billion that Lao Xu held will be spent quickly, where is this?

Lao Jia continued to cheekily ask for money, and he didn't think that Lao Xu would spread his hands: No!

Not long after, the two went to court over the issue of control, and finally ended with Lao Xu out.

However, this car is Jia Yueting's last stall, and he is still counting on it to turn over, of course, it is impossible to give up easily.

After Lao Xu entered and went out, Jia Yueting fell into a "palace fight".

In 2019, after Lao Xu was out, Jia Yueting also lost his identity as CEO.

Two years later, Lao Jia was fired as CEO by the board and his nephew was swept away.

In September 2022, Jia Yueting rushed back and took his partners to directly turn over the executive director and the former chairman.

According to the news, this time Jia Yueting not only grasped the control of the company in his hands, but also pulled his nephew back.

At this time, less than 6 months had passed since he was last dismissed, so it seems that Jia Yueting has never been a soft persimmon.

On May 31 this year, Jia Yueting held a press conference and spoke in English for more than an hour.

There are two things to really show: the first is that FF91 has entered the delivery stage;

The second is to let people pay quickly, only 50,000 yuan to get a place, the old beautiful rich and experts are preferred!

Guess boldly, as for whether the delivery date can be guaranteed, it can only be said that even if the delivery is not completed on time, it is because of "technical delay", right?

After so many years, Jia Yueting is still impressive.

Those who do not look favorably on him are impressed by his strong heart and indestructible face.

It's like the phrase "I'll be home next week" and then it's far away.

Those who believe in him are impressed by his persistence and tenacity, just like the phrase "suffocate for dreams" that keeps shouting.

Looking back at Jia Yueting's family history, it can also be called an epic legend.
