Li Mu expected that this private placement would be very popular, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.

Chen Ze has been paying attention to the subscription situation in the member background, and in two hours, the subscription has exceeded the upper limit of 5 billion.

Learning from Li Mu's set of logic for data analysis, Chen Ze also began to conduct a general analysis of the two-hour subscription data.

First of all, a total of 133 members successfully subscribed for the 5 billion subscription, with an average subscription amount of 37.6 million per person;

Secondly, the official members of the CSC club in mainland China and even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are currently 1089 people, and the number of members who log in at the same time period is 897, of which 874 people logged in after the SMS was sent, that is, at least 874 people saw the specific situation of the private equity fund;

Then, from the temporary data, it can be affirmed that the conversion rate of the fund among members is about 15%, but due to the quota limit for subscription, the remaining 85% are not interested, or want to buy but start late, still need to wait for follow-up data feedback.

The subsequent data is the behavior statistics of other users

The background shows that the number of people who send subscription applications is still increasing, although after they click on the application, a prompt will pop up, telling them that the current 5 billion yuan has been snapped up, but their application data will still be recorded in the background.

Within half an hour of the end of the subscription, 532 people submitted their respective subscription applications normally because they did not know the end of the subscription, and the total subscription amount of these 532 people was 21.8 billion yuan! The average subscription amount per person was 40.98 million;

However, the subscription boom of members is not over yet.

An hour later, another 155 people subscribed, with a total subscription of 9.3 billion yuan, and the average subscription amount per person exceeded 60 million!

The further back, the higher the per capita subscription amount, Chen Ze didn't understand why this was at first, after communicating with Li Mu, Li Mu quickly guessed the key, and said to him: "The time when everyone receives the news is the same, and the further the time drags on, the more likely it is to use more time to confirm the source of funds, so the more funds can be confirmed." ”

Chen Ze thought for a while and said, "That makes sense." ”

Li Mu said: "What you can take out immediately is what you have, give you an hour, and you may be able to dredge up the relationship between all parties and take out more." ”

Chen Ze said: "Then in this case, what else do you want to do in batches, just open the subscription of 22 billion in one go, in that case, we are estimated to be finished now." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "The rush to buy is to engage in hunger marketing, the more they play, the more they cherish the opportunity we give them, not only this opportunity, but also the opportunity in the future, this time we raised 20 billion in China, next time we may raise more overseas, to make them full of hunger for our same type of products, we will take the initiative a lot in the future, you have time to talk to Taobao's Lei Jun, he may give you a more detailed explanation." ”

Chen Ze said: "I understand the general meaning. ”

Li Mu snorted, and said: "Since everyone's enthusiasm is so high, we will temporarily adjust the strategy, the next few phases of subscription, the subscriber in the subscription, to pay 10% of the deposit, and then within ten days to pay all the money to the account, if there is a shortage of money after ten days, according to the shortage of 5% of the amount of liquidated damages; the actual payment amount is less than 50% of the subscription amount, permanently cancel his future participation in any form of capital operation of the CSC club." ”

Li Mu is not very trusting in the intention to subscribe, all things related to money, the intention is unreliable, only money is reliable, even if your parents promise to pay you living expenses today, it may be postponed until tomorrow because of something, not to mention the flow of this large amount of money.

What's more, these are a bunch of borrowers who like to use other people's money to make money for themselves, so the funds behind their subscription intentions are likely to come from promises that are not under his control.

For example, Zhang San subscribed for 100 million today, and he was sure that he could find a low-interest source of funds, and then take this opportunity to make millions of dollars in vain, but when the time came to subscribe, his source of funds may have various problems, and any problems may cause him to not be able to take out so much money at that time.

Therefore, Li Mu discussed with Chen Ze again, and simply added a pool of ready subscriptions, and the available subscription amount was allocated in a ratio of 1:1, for example, this time 5 billion has been fully subscribed, and another 5 billion subscriptions can be absorbed to become a reserve substitute, if someone in the front-end subscription group cannot realize the subscription, it will be replaced by the person in the reserve substitute, and so on;

Chen Ze agrees with this series of detailed plans, after all, their first goal is to raise the equivalent of 2.5 billion US dollars, and it doesn't matter who paid for the money, so it must be centered on ensuring that the first goal is achieved.

Private equity funds, and the follow-up fund-raising, Li Mu entrusted Chen Zelai with full responsibility, he no longer pays attention to how this matter is promoted, he just wants to wait for Chen Ze to tell himself one day in the near future that the money has all arrived.

……

Until the acquisition intention was negotiated with Apple, Li Mu did not meet directly with Apple's people.

Tim Cook really wanted to meet with Li Mu, but the highest representative sent by Makino Technology in the acquisition of Apple was Lin Qingya, and he and Apple's senior management felt that Li Mu himself did not attach importance to Apple, let alone the acquisition of Apple, so he was not willing to participate in this matter at all.

This has given a lot of frustration to Apple's top management.

The company is ready to sell, and the big boss of the buyer is too lazy to meet and chat with the company's top management.

In fact, Li Mu himself really wants to meet with Tim Cook, to see how experienced this person is in controlling the market now, and if he can, it would be better to digest him into one of his own generals in advance.

However, in order not to affect the acquisition, Li Mu still insisted on the principle of not meeting, so that all Apple executives continued to misunderstand, thinking that they were not so interested in Apple.

The more indifferent the attitude, the more Apple will not be confident, and they will worry that they may give up the acquisition at any time, so that they are eager to stop loss and cash out, they must cooperate with the acceleration of the acquisition as soon as possible;

Li Mu has even decided to fly to Harvard early tomorrow morning to meet Mark Zuckerberg, and then bring Su Yingxue to Silicon Valley, and when Apple will sign a contract, and when will he meet Apple's people again.

At the critical moment of acquiring Apple, Li Mu suddenly wanted to leave, giving Lin Qingya a lot of pressure, although she was already the vice president of Makino Technology, but a market value of $3 billion acquisition was the first time for her.

It's not just her, Li Mu has never played such a big one.

Fortunately, Li Mu has already formulated most of the key nodes, and as long as Lin Qingya moves forward according to Li Mu's requirements and rhythm, there will basically be no major deviations.

Before leaving, Elon Musk suddenly called Li Mu and said that he wanted to ask Li Mu if he had time recently, and he wanted to carefully report to Li Mu about the geek project of developing new energy vehicles with 18650 battery packs that he had inspected before.

Li Mu said to him directly: "In this way, you pack up and go to Cambridge with me tomorrow, and we can talk slowly on the plane." ”

Elon Musk was stunned, and then said: "Okay, I'll arrange a job and run with you tomorrow." ”

Li Mu said: "I'll let Ziwei tell you the take-off time later." ”

……

On the way to Massachusetts on the business jet, Elon Musk sat opposite Li Mu, with a large pile of materials on the small conference table, and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, I have done a due diligence on the electric vehicle research project, and in general, I am very optimistic about their project and think that it can be done seriously." ”

Li Mu asked him: "What is it that makes you very optimistic?"

Elon Musk said: "It's mainly the mindset, and the technical feasibility. ”

Speaking, Elon Musk introduced: "Electric drive has many advantages, environmental protection is on the one hand, cheap is also on the other, more importantly, electric drive cars, it is easy to make breakthroughs in performance, and if you use lead-acid batteries, the energy density is small, the battery weight is large, there will be a great loss of battery life, power and battery life, and this team found another way, they use 18650 lithium batteries to make battery packs, high energy density, It is light in weight and has a life that is at least three or five times longer than that of lead-acid batteries, so under this technical condition, the range, weight, power and battery attenuation of electric vehicles will be greatly improved. ”

Li Mu asked him: "How far can you run with full power to build a car with this technology?"

Elon Musk said: "They're now experimenting with frame cars, and if the battery pack is denser, the range will not be a problem to exceed 300 miles." ”

"What about charging?" Li Mu asked, "How long does it take for such a car to be fully charged?"

Elon Musk said: "If the current of the charging device is large enough to be fully charged in six to eight hours, such a car will be very suitable for the middle class, and the range will be enough for his daytime driving." ”

Li Mu nodded, it seems that Tesla's own technology in batteries now has a certain foundation, in this way, if enough investment is given, the project has the ability to start quickly.

However, Tesla's biggest problem in the previous life was the limitation of production capacity, so Li Mu asked Elon Musk: "If we invest in this team, how can we solve the production process?"

Elon Musk immediately said: "We're going to build a new production line. ”

Li Mu waved his hand: "The team you are talking about is at best a theorist in the automotive industry, they study batteries, battery management, charge and discharge control, motor drive, and braking energy recovery, which have already paved the stall very large, how can they build their own production lines?"

Elon Musk said: "That's the case, Mr. Li, if we invest in this project, we must first complete the research and development work you just mentioned, and then build a prototype car, my idea is that after building a prototype car, we can first pre-sell it in Silicon Valley, so that we can first absorb a batch of orders and funds, and then we start to build a medium and large production line to accelerate our production work." ”

Li Mu said helplessly: "Elon, what age is this, how can anyone start a business and want to stab it to the end? If you want to open a Western restaurant, you don't need to raise your own cattle, and cooperating with a cattle farm, or simply buying a cattle farm is the best solution." ”

Speaking, Li Mu said: "If this electric solution is feasible, then I will directly collect an automobile manufacturing company in Huaxia, and then our automobile company will be divided into two parts, one is the R&D team you are in contact with now, they will be fully responsible for the research and development of electric-related technologies in the future, and the other is the automobile manufacturing company I am talking about, that is, the future manufacturing team, they will be responsible for the development and production of automotive hardware, if possible, we will acquire a battery R&D and production company." ”

Elon Musk said: "Mr. Li, in this case, the start-up cost is too high, and the risk is too great......

Li Mu asked him: "How many years do you think it will take for this company to really get off the ground with the method you said? Will it be able to deliver its first car in five years? Will it be able to deliver one million cars after eight years?"

"This ......" Elon Musk was momentarily speechless.

Li Mu said: "Do you know that there is an automobile company in Huaxia called Geely?"

"I don't know ......"

"Then you can understand that the founder of this company originally decided to build a car with the mentality of 'the car is four wheels and two sofas', they decided to build a car in 1997, and the first car came off the assembly line in 1998, you have to have such courage to do this, if you want to use seven or eight years to slowly raise it, then I think you don't have to do it, because even if you finally raise it, it will be full of holes, There are all kinds of problems, today it may be insufficient production capacity, tomorrow it may be insufficient cash flow, and then the day after tomorrow it may start to lose millions a day, and as a company that makes and sells products, the more insufficient the production capacity, the more your cash flow cannot keep up, and the greater the loss!"

Elon Musk invested in Tesla, and only invested a few million dollars in the first round, and the investment of millions of dollars was to build a car, which is like a joke, which shows how slow Tesla started at that time, almost using a lighter to stew Buddha and jump over the wall.

In Li Mu's mind, if you want to invest in Tesla's project today, then pull the founding team of Tesla over today, and tomorrow you have to lock in an automobile manufacturing company first, and then increase capital investment, which is equivalent to two high-power stoves stewing a pot of Buddha jumping over the wall, and the speed will naturally increase geometrically.

When the time comes, as soon as the resources of the two sides are integrated, Tesla's sedan will soon be able to crack down from the production line like dumplings, and the order production will not be able to keep up? The delivery deadline will be delayed again and again? It will not exist! After two or three years, Tesla will become a street car.
