After Wen Ming determined the research and development direction of the new product, he immediately called Sith and asked him to negotiate with Tesla for the acquisition.

However, the results he got made him very puzzled.

"Does he want to wait to go out of business?"

Wen Ming wasn't angry, because Tesla belonged to someone else, and he couldn't force it if others didn't want to sell it. But as far as he knows, Tesla is very difficult now, and even faces the risk of bankruptcy.

Sith replied: "Tesla's boss, Elon Musk, is only willing to accept the sale of 10% of the shares, and the price is 50 million U.S. dollars. In addition, he is not willing to accept any conditions."

Wen Ming suddenly laughed. This reluctance to sell the absolute controlling stake is very similar to him now. But the biggest difference between him and Elon Musk is that his Apple's quarterly net profit reached 3 billion US dollars, while Elon Musk's Tesla has already faced a broken capital chain and strong dissatisfaction among users. the point.

"You continue to talk to him. If he is really unwilling to be acquired, you tell him that we will invest in our own new energy vehicle brand."

If the acquisition fails, it will naturally be a threat, and Wen Ming has already learned this by himself.

Sith asked curiously: "Is it really going to be a car? As far as I know, Tesla's gearbox technology has been stuck for many years. Now we don't have any technical reserves at all."

Of course, a pure electric vehicle is not only a battery, but also the two main devices of electricity. Accessories like gearboxes are also the top priority.

Wen Ming said: "There is no need to worry about technology, I know it well."

Without too much explanation, Sith didn't ask too much, and after hanging up the phone, he was ready to threaten Tesla according to Wen Ming's intention.

Wen Ming turned on his ipad and searched for Tesla-related news. Just like the results he searched last night, the situation Tesla is facing is almost ready to close down at any time.

The name of the Tesla car comes from a great scientist, Nikola Tesla who invented the modern alternating current system, a true genius.

As a company that focuses on new energy vehicles, that is, electric vehicles, it is named after Tesla, which shows how huge its ambitions are.

In fact, the person who founded Tesla was not the "real iron man" Elon Musk who many people are familiar with, but a man named Martin Eberhard. This talent is Tesla's real technology leader, and Elon Musku is his investor, and with an investment of 6.3 million US dollars, he became the chairman of Tesla and owned all of Tesla. final decision on matters.

Regrettably, in 2007, Elon Musk dismissed Martin Eberhard as CEO. Since then, Martin Eberhard, the founder of Tesla, has become the owner of only part of the company. Idlers of Tesla shares do not have any actual control over Tesla.

These histories have nothing to do with Wen Ming. What Wen Ming is concerned about is the first batch of pure electric vehicles launched by Tesla in October this year - Teroadster. The cost of this car has risen to 120,000 US dollars due to the inability to solve the gearbox technology. one.

In the original plan, the cost of this car was only 70,000 U.S. dollars, so before manufacturing started, Tesla pre-sold it to the world, and the pre-sale price was 100,000 U.S. dollars.

But the cost has risen to 120,000 US dollars per unit, so Elon Musk decided to pay 10,000 US dollars for himself, so that subscribers can pay 10,000 US dollars more, and sell it at a price of 110,000 US dollars.

As you can imagine, Elon Musku was mobbed by angry clients and passed out at a client meeting in Los Angeles...

(ps: real thing,

It's just that the time in the text is pushed back by one year. )

Wen Ming still remembered that he had read the news at that time, and now, he also searched for the news at that time. The cover photo of the news is the picture of Elon Musk being besieged and fainted.

"Why do I think he is faking it?"

Wen Ming has no lack of speculation. When he was in another world, he had a good impression of this person and felt that many of his ideas were very powerful. For example, he invested in aerospace technology, claiming to let humans immigrate to Mars.

Regardless of whether it is true or not and whether it can be realized, the idea itself is very attractive.

But now, Elon Musk has rejected his acquisition request, that is to say, if this acquisition cannot be completed, then the two parties will become direct competitors.

So, what's the point of liking it or not?

"Do you want to find a lawyer to help those users who have booked a Tesla car and fight a lawsuit with Tesla?"

An immoral idea appeared in Wen Ming's mind, but in fact this idea is very 'moral'.

Tesla promised that the price of a new car would be 100,000 US dollars, but it raised the price by 10,000 US dollars because of its own costs. This behavior itself is immoral. It seems that Tesla's new car is priced at US$110,000, and it still has a loss of US$10,000. Moreover, the loss will be even more, including sales channel costs and so on.

But the point is, Tesla promised before.

This kind of behavior is absolutely immoral and even illegal for those users who have reserved a new Tesla car. But because Tesla had professional lawyers to finalize the relevant terms when Tesla signed the agreement with users, users could not trouble them at all.

There is nothing Wen Ming can do about this.

However, the purpose of his wanting to find a lawyer to help those users is not to help those customers seek benefits, but to disgust Tesla and make Tesla, which is facing a broken capital chain, even worse.

At that time, maybe the matter of the acquisition will change.

"Now I am more and more like a capitalist who does not hesitate to use everything for profit."

Wen Ming laughed at himself and suppressed this idea, not because he wasn't going to do it, but because it's not the time to do it yet.

Wen Ming is very clear about the fact that eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Therefore, when the acquisition of Tesla encounters obstacles, he needs to consider acquiring other electric vehicle companies.

Technically, he can achieve from nothing to something, but if he wants to transform the technology into a product and then gain profits from the market, he needs the support of hardware. The acquisition of Tesla is not only because Tesla has mastered a certain level of technical foundation, but also because Tesla has its own factory.

If Wen Ming starts to build a factory now, by the time he can produce his new energy vehicles, it is estimated that the second generation of iPhones and iPads will be produced. What he needs is to earn as much money as possible and provide as many jobs as possible before he breeds a super spider.

While Wen Ming was looking for a new acquisition target, a fierce quarrel was taking place at Tesla headquarters in Silicon Valley.

"Why didn't you accept Apple's offer?"

Martin Eberhard, the founder of Tesla who has been kicked out, looks angrily at Elon Musk, who is sitting behind his desk. As Tesla's largest shareholder besides Elon Musk, he naturally received an acquisition request from Apple.

Because Tesla has nothing to do with him, it is definitely a great blessing for him that Tesla can be acquired.

Elon Musku's expression was also a little angry, because Martin Eberhard's current attitude made him very dissatisfied.

"Don't forget, I have the highest decision-making power of the company from the very beginning, whether you are willing to be acquired or not, you have no qualifications to decide."

Faces have been torn apart, and there is no cover-up or scruples between the two people who created Tesla.

Martin Eberhard suddenly sneered and said, "If I sell my shares to Apple, what do you think will happen to you?"
