Lu Liang had joined during the Series A funding when Mobike was valued at ten million US dollars, and he invested just three hundred thousand to acquire a 3% stake.
After numerous rounds of stock dilution, his 3% had dwindled to 2.168%, a decrease of 0.832%, yet the value had increased by 33.6 times.
