Generally speaking, since Tesla's second round of financing has been carried out until now, Zhao Song is not eligible to cancel.

But that's just a general situation, at least in the United States, no one was surprised by Zhao Song's sudden decision.

Silicon Valley in the United States, late at night, half an hour after Qin Han made a phone call.

Compared with Tesla's scattered offices in China, its branch office in Silicon Valley is more like the headquarters of a world-class high-tech company.

In the spacious conference room, there was a lot of noise.

Executives, shareholders, investors, all of them were blushing and arguing, and the emergency convening in the middle of the night obviously did not affect their biological clocks, and everyone's faces were full of excitement.

"Airline catering was a success, but it was clear that our fawning had the exact opposite effect. ”

David banged on the table and covered out the other people's arguments with a loud voice:

The more successful the flight, the more unhappy Nicholas became with Tesla's valuation in the second round of funding.

Cancellation may be a rhetoric, but a warning to all of us is undeniable. ”

David had a headache, he used to think that as a bridge of communication between the investment bank and Tesla, he was much more comfortable than Google's Schuster, because Zhao Song, who is also the founder of the company, is obviously much easier to serve than Google's two.

However, good service does not mean good bullying.

David stared at the new investment representative: "Obviously, as long as Mr. Nicholas doesn't sign, you won't get Tesla shares even if you press him forever in the country of planting flowers!"

“......”

The meeting room fell silent.

The representative of the Bank of America asked Ding Tao, who had been sitting there quietly:

"Mr. Ding, what do you think?"

"I don't have an opinion. Ding Tao replied calmly, "My task is to report the situation to the boss at any time, and now the consensus you have reached cannot be recognized by him." “

After speaking, Ding Tao glanced at Zhao Rong and the others vaguely, obviously not satisfied with his colleague's previous negotiation work.

"But if you refer to Apple's market capitalization......"

"Apple's stock price has fallen to $1. Ding Tao interrupted the investment bank representative and said unceremoniously, "Stephen just sold 55 million shares, if you are optimistic about Apple, please leave here immediately, we are Tesla, not Apple, we are facing 98% of the world's PC users!"

(PS: In real history, some people say that this sell-off of Joe Maniac cost him $73 billion.) ）

"But we need a reference!"

An old white man said through gritted teeth.

"That's your business. Ding Tao shrugged his shoulders very westernly.

As soon as the words fell, the conference room suddenly fell into a clamor of hustle and bustle.

"I think 20 billion is a very reasonable number. ”

"OH MY GOD, JOY, ARE YOU CRAZY, HOW LONG ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE US RECOUP OUR INVESTMENT. ”

"Brian, how are you going to get Nicholas to sign your valuation if you don't raise it?"

"We had an agreement that if the second round didn't go well, Nicholas would face huge compensation. “

"With Tesla's financial reserves, do you think Mr. Nicholas will care about this compensation?"

"Bank of America has signed an intent to underwrite shares, and if Tesla suspends its listing, we will also face huge losses......"

"We can accept 20 billion or even higher, as long as a part of the B-share equity ...... opened"

During the quarrel, Zhao Rong quietly walked out of the conference room.

She played with her phone for a long time before dialing it.

"Hello?"

"Prosperous, Zhao Song has just decided to cancel the second round of financing. ”

“...... Is this good news or bad news?"

Zhao Rong rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "I don't know, although the valuation of the results of this negotiation is low, but the new investor also bears many other responsibilities, which are priceless, so I don't know if the cancellation of the negotiation is good news or bad news." ”

Xingsheng asked: "I am also a minority shareholder of Tesla, can you tell me about the specific valuation?"

Zhao Rong hesitated for a moment and replied: "I can't say specifically, I can only say it...... Less than 20 billion. ”

"......" On the phone, Xingsheng asked unexpectedly, "If this is the case, then even if you add the shares of Shenzhou Technology, Zhao Song will not become the richest man in the world?"

"That's for sure, Bill Gates' wealth of more than 40 billion would have been astronomical. ”

Zhao Rong obviously does not agree with the optimistic estimate of the outside world, according to her prediction, if Tesla goes public at the current valuation, even if the rise is good, coupled with Zhao Song's domestic assets, he will be able to reach the figure of 300.

"What did he cancel for? Is that the thing?"

“......”

Zhao Rong was silent.

"Hello?"

“...... Yes. ”

"What you proposed?"

"Changing the in-flight meal was what I proposed, and then everybody passed. ”

“...... Now that the listing is suspended, you're coming back?"

"No!" Zhao Rong replied categorically, "Taking the international route is the only road that Zhao Song has set for Tesla, and if you want to have fewer obstacles on this road, the only way to go public is to go public overseas, which is the biggest lesson that Tesla has learned since its establishment!"

So the negotiations will continue, and it's just a way to express dissatisfaction, both for our management and for the investment banks......"

Zhao Rong didn't say the latter words, but Xingsheng tacitly agreed.

They didn't go through that era, and Apple, which has a market value of 100 billion, accounted for a quarter of the company's revenue in a single mobile phone category.

Tesla is still very profitable, but its music player revenue accounts for nearly 4% of the company's total revenue.

This is not normal in the eyes of many people.

Worried about the decline in sales, worried about the loss of new products, worried about the loss of Zhao Song's talent for product development, etc., the closer to the listing, the more these excuses were repeatedly mentioned by those investment banks, and they achieved their goals at one time.

"What about you?" On the phone, a joking voice came, "Are you optimistic or not?"

"Click~"

Zhao Rong hung up the phone and walked to the conference room with an expressionless face.

Not optimistic?

Scold.

As long as you have seen Tesla's new product line - notebook product concept map, no one will not be optimistic about Tesla's future, and no one will doubt Zhao Song's product development talent.

Now, the iron-faced and selfless Gui Luyang is traveling around the world to gather talents for Tesla, the ruthless Liao Yingzhu has disappeared without a trace, and only the loyal Ding Tao is pressed here as a personal representative and chief negotiator.

As for the others, there are simply no clear instructions for them to be involved......

After several years of ups and downs in the business world, there is a terrifying social circle behind everyone here.

But why didn't Zhao Songben speak for him after he was in the country?

Not optimistic?

No!

Officially, because I am too optimistic, it has become the current situation.

Because they want more of a voice!

20 billion US dollars, hundreds of billions of RMB.

It is the first time that a private enterprise with such a huge volume has appeared.

There is a credit to each and every one of us.

We are not Ding Tao, not Gui Luyang, not Liao Yingzhu, they only represent themselves, and there are still many people behind us......

Equity can be less, can you give more right to speak?

That's right, we want B shares.

You can't take it all alone!

Beijing, Pyeongchang, Tesla Industrial Park.

The bell rang for the shift change at noon, and the crowd walked into the major canteens in an orderly manner.

With the completion of the fifth phase of the industrial park, it is the largest electronic product production base in Beijing and even in the whole north of the plant.

It is also Tesla's only self-owned production plant.

(As agreed above, the current Guancheng Industrial Park has been transferred to Shenzhou.) ）

With a total investment of 980 million yuan, covering an area of 1.4 million square meters and employing more than 110,000 people, this industrial park has driven relevant upstream and downstream manufacturers and supporting factories, countless night stalls and shops, and affected the livelihood of nearly one million people.

It is an important achievement of Pyeongchang District of Beijing to actively undertake industrial transfer, and it is a great driving force for the electronic information industry and export-oriented economic development of Pyeongchang City and even the whole of Beijing. It has comprehensively improved the quality and level of Pyeongchang District's opening up to the outside world.

If this borough, this million people, were to be given a representative, then it would be certain that there would be only one name in this option—

Gui Luyang!

From there, it is 20 kilometers to the east.

Or Pyeongchang District.

In the old river bay of Wenyu River, where no one cares about it, all the demolition and relocation work of 3 townships and 7 villages has been completed.

At the rumbling construction site, hundreds of construction vehicles are running.

The work of leveling the land has begun, and the municipal engineering has entered the final stage of tackling key problems.

The Beijing city government is working hard to fulfill their promise to complete all three links and one level before construction of Tesla's headquarters building begins.

At the same time, the municipal government engineering demonstration team has been set up for a long time, and it is even a higher-level administrative unit.

In order to wait for Zhao Song to submit the final project plan with a budget of 1 billion US dollars.

............

Tesla's listing and the construction of the headquarters building have risen to the height of the local government's ZZ mission, not to mention that the local government is still a capital......

In the face of these, no one's personal interests are worth considering, unless you think too highly of yourself, but who cares?

PS: The work is special, in the past two days, there was a security guard who let visitors in without taking the temperature, and let the big leader see it...... It was quite fun to flood the two leadership offices during the flood season.
