Unparalleled True Technology

I rewarded Jiageng for being so coquettish as the leader, and I still owe four more.

If an enterprise wants to develop, it must raise funds, and almost no enterprise can fully develop to the time of listing.

In the process of financing, they will face the end of being swallowed by capital.

Counting those well-known companies with high market capitalization, such as Microsoft, Google, etc., the equity owned by the founders only occupies a small part of the company's equity. This sacrifice is due to the engulfment of capital.

Of course, there is another main reason, that is, even their founders don’t know how far the company they create can go before the company is truly successful.

Just like Elon Musku, he has very high expectations for Tesla, and he believes that in the future Tesla will become the company with the highest market value in the world. But this kind of thinking is actually just a dream, just like parents who think their children are the best.

At a time when Tesla is facing such difficulties, Elon Musku really doesn't have much confidence in Tesla.

But he was unwilling to give up, because he put too much effort into Tesla, and even drove away Martin Eberhard, which made his life stained.

But now, he has reached the point where he has to give up. Wen Ming's bargaining chips are unimaginably rich. Just like Dou Dizhu, Wen Ming has two kings, four 2, four A, four K, and three Q.

Although he is the landlord and has the right to come out first, his cards cannot be thrown all at once.

Wen Ming's 5 billion is the king bomb. As long as Elon Musk plays a card once, then Wen Ming can directly play the king bomb, and then win three times.

In the end, he will only lose completely.

Even under the leadership of Wen Ming, Tesla has achieved an infinitely bright future, but under Wen Ming's four bombs, the multiple of this round has been multiplied many times. And the 67% of Tesla shares he owns will be diluted to a very pitiful point.

67% of the US$500 million is worth US$335 million, and if Wen Ming successfully injects US$5 billion into Tesla, his equity will be diluted to 5%.

And Tesla, which owns 5 billion US dollars, will not need to be listed for a long time, and if it cannot be listed, Elon Musk's shares will always be just shares.

Even if Elon Musku wants to pay dividends, it can only be paid when Tesla starts to make a profit. Elon Musk, who has been in charge of Tesla for many years, knows very well that many technical problems of new energy vehicles are difficult to solve, and the cost of mass-produced models is also very high, and sales volume will be very low due to the high price. ideal.

In addition, Tesla needs to set up charging stations in many places for their electric car users, which is another very large investment.

In fact, Elon Musk has made plans for Tesla to still lose money even after it goes public.

In this case, his money is equivalent to being pressed on Tesla for a long time without any turnover.

If Tesla goes bankrupt, then he will lose out completely.

Of course, Elon Musku can also bet with Wen Ming that Wen Ming would not dare to invest so much money in Tesla. But when the space exploration company is also facing a very big dilemma, is Elon Musku qualified to bet with Wen Ming?

Wen Ming can earn 3 billion U.S. dollars in a quarter, he can afford it, but Elon Musk can't afford it.

"Why, it took us eight weeks to modify that Mercedes-Benz Smart? Why did the people from Daimler agree to buy 10% of the company for $50 million yesterday? Why, Martin Eberhard and the others Why did you sell the shares to Wen Ming so quickly?"

When Martin Eberhard told him to see who was faster, he didn't take it seriously. Because he simply did not believe that Martin Eberhard would sell Tesla shares so easily.

What he didn't expect was that the arrogance that Wen Ming showed in front of him today had also been shown in front of Martin Eberhard. Because he was worried that Wen Ming's investment in other electric vehicle companies would lower Tesla's valuation, Martin Eberhard agreed to sell the shares in an instant.

Of course, there are also his reasons. If he hadn't forced Martin Eberhard too hard, he wouldn't have faced such a difficult situation.

Daimler's capital injection and the order in which Martin Eberhard sold his shares directly caused him to be passive.

Taking a deep breath, Elon Musk calmed down, and then asked: "Why do you have to acquire Tesla entirely? In fact, the technology we have is not worth it for you to do so."

Because when Wen Ming acquired Martin Eberhard's shares, he chose a premium of 30%, and when he threatened Elon Musk, he also said that he would acquire Daimler's upcoming 10% Tesla shares at a premium.

Afterwards, Wen Ming, who held 47% of Tesla's shares, had to invest a huge amount of money when diluting Elon Musk's equity through a capital increase, even exceeding Tesla's current valuation of US$500 million.

This cost is very huge, and Elon Musku wants to figure it out before making a decision. Whether Wen Ming answers or not is Wen Ming's business, but whether he asks or not is his business.

At this time, Wen Ming already had the chance to win, so he chose to answer Elon Musk's question.

"Because I want to change the world. In addition to mobile phones and dinosaurs, I think the current fuel vehicles should also be changed. I chose Tesla because the Roadster you launched last year is the world's first mass-produced pure electric vehicle. Roadster."

"I like being number one very much. Since this number one is taken by you, then I want to buy you over."

Wen Ming's voice was very sincere, but what he said was a lie.

What is the world's first mass-produced pure electric convertible sports car has nothing to do with his acquisition of Tesla, just because Tesla is cheap and has a production line capable of mass-producing pure electric vehicles.

As for the first mass-produced electric car, it was the EV-1 launched by General Motors in 1991. However, because the cruising range was only 140 kilometers, it was abandoned after producing more than 2,000 vehicles.

It is already 2010, even if GM still keeps the production line at that time, Wen Ming will not buy it.

Elon Musku sighed and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"I really envy you who are young, rich, and able to keep making money."

Elon Musku, who is only 39 years old, can definitely be regarded as a young man among the billionaires in the world. But compared to Wen Ming, a real young man who has just entered his 20s, he is already old.

Therefore, regardless of whether Wen Ming's reasons are true or not, he has to make a decision.

"I am willing to sell all the Tesla shares I hold, but I hope you can buy them at a 50% premium, because from then on, Tesla will completely belong to you, including all Tesla's production lines, employees, technology patent."

At the moment just now, Elon Musk still wanted to retain a part of Tesla's equity, but gave up most of the shares and the highest decision-making power. But in an instant he figured it out, what's the use of keeping a part of it?

With Wen Ming's desire to control just now, the capital increase will definitely dilute his shares to a pitiful point.

Instead of this, it's better to just use it as a bargaining chip for Wen Ming to buy at a premium.

Moreover, Elon Musk believes that after he leaves Tesla, Tesla will only face the risk of bankruptcy. Because even the scientific research team he led couldn't solve some technical problems. How could Wen Ming, a genius who didn't understand physics and electricity, solve it?

Even if Wen Ming has the money to recruit researchers, he must have time to do research. As far as he knows, because countries have successively promulgated time plans for banning the sale of fuel vehicles, almost all powerful car manufacturers have begun to research electric vehicles. up.

Can Tesla really break through and be reborn in front of those powerful automakers?

Wen Ming didn't know that Elon Musk had already declared Tesla's death sentence in his heart. He felt a great sense of accomplishment for being able to threaten Elon Musk to sell Tesla.

It's not in vain for me to pretend to be so arrogant today.

While Wen Ming was feeling overwhelmed in his heart, he also wondered whether such arrogance would become his character?

"If you are willing to sign the contract now, I can offer a 50% premium. One day later, I will lower the premium standard by 5%. So, Mr. Muskou, do you have a pen?"
