Witness "the worst person in 2019" and "turning over against the wind"
The first program of "Meet Big Coffee" in the fifth season is Li Bin of Weilai Automobile. "Meet Big Coffee" program group paid attention to him in the fourth season. At that time, Li Bin was in the limelight in the automobile field. As a persistent entrepreneur who started three businesses and rang the bell three times, Li Bin not only invested in more than 30 internet companies related to automobiles, but also almost half of the products in the field of travel were related to him. When Li Bin founded Weilai Automobile, Weilai Automobile was considered as the China electric vehicle that could best benchmark Tesla, and he himself was also called "China version of Musk". However, in 2019, Weilai Automobile lost 11.3 billion yuan. During the three years since its establishment, Li Bin’s accumulated loss reached 26.77 billion yuan. Weilai Automobile’s stock once fell from 11 dollars to 1.19 dollars. It was considered as a company with no future, and the aura hanging over Li Bin quickly faded. Some media even called it "the worst person in 2019".
When the overall public opinion was generally bearish on Weilai Automobile, Meet Big Coffee decided to shoot Li Bin again. Shi Xiaonuo’s second dialogue with Li Bin, founder, chairman and CEO of Weilai Automobile, unveiled the mental journey of "roller coaster" development he encountered in the past two years. In an exclusive interview, Li Bin said frankly that in order to "save Weilai", he "looked for money" everywhere, but Li Bin didn’t find any money. "In the fourth quarter, we talked about many people, and what I can talk about in my contacts, whether it is industry or capital, government-related or personal, anyway, I talked about everything."
In January 2021, the share price of Weilai Automobile reached US$ 66, and its total market value exceeded US$ 100 billion, surpassing BMW, GM and Ford. But how did Li Bin spend those days when he couldn’t find money? What did he do right to bring Wei Lai back to life? What will make Li Bin, a tough guy who keeps starting a business, cry?
China entrepreneurs with different records! From January 30th, every Saturday night at 22: 20, please pay attention to the CCTV financial channel "Meet Big Coffee"!
