  • Luckin Coffee is an example of quick-to-IPO companies that don’t have all of its processes ready. In this video we discuss the founding by Jenny Qian and the deep involvement in the business by the board chairman Lu Zhengyao.

    As crazy as it is, Luckin has not only survived the scandal, but actually made a miracle comeback, posting full year profits for 2022. I made a video explaining their turnaround by breaking down its business strategy and comparing it with Starbucks China, could be interesting for you.

    McDonald's make money from rent money and franchise fees. Starbucks is like a bank making gift cards like printing their own currency. The big mistake lukin made was actually selling coffee.

      It's still selling coffee business. If you don't sell, who will buy if you have nothing. China is a huge market. Western Competitors will as usual magnify a small start up problem. In reality Chinese population like coffee. And the company will succeed better and faster than Starbucks because they provide the brand, affordable cheaper drink, lower labour cost : lower operating cost, 50% IPO lower price than Starbucks

    Great channel. What is the quickest way to decipher if a company is legitimate or not (i.e. whether or not it can turn into another Luckin Coffee)? Do you have an in depth analysis of Nio? What are your thought on Nio, Baba, and other companies listed on US markets?

      @@TheFinancialController Tesla is a solid mid, long term hold for sure. As a day, swing trader I trade any stock instrument with very high liquidity. However, I'm also looking to expand the long term portfolio and wondering if there's a quick way to assess a company's viability instead of having to fill out a drawn out DCF spreadsheet. Is there any method or service that quickly can tell me what the reasonable intrinsic value of a company is and whether they are honestly reporting or not? Should I just avoid anyone audited by Ernst and Young, for example? What are some quick red flag indicators for a company that's safe to invest in and what might not be.

    • @TheFinancialController
      @TheFinancialController  4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I used to work in fraud, granted nothing of this scale. But fraud is generally concealed. You really have no chance of detecting fraud without knowhow and access to private information.
