Chapter 19: My Tesla? (Autumn Divine Light 2)
Regarding the investment amount, Feng Yiping is very cautious.
Because this is related to Tesla's right to speak and control in the future, it cannot be underestimated, and this issue is also related to a series of issues.
For example, unlike the current paid-in system of registered capital in China, the United States has a relaxed subscription system.
The biggest difference between the two is that the same registered company, registered capital of 500,000, in China, you first have to go to the bank to open a capital verification account, and then put 500,000 funds into the capital verification account (not necessarily funds, can be other equivalents), the bank will give you a capital verification report, with this capital verification report, the industrial and commercial bureau will give you a business license.
The implementation of the subscription system in the United States is very simple, when the company is registered, after the shareholders subscribe to the registered capital, they only need to register the registered capital with the state government, and do not require you to put the registered capital in one step, the paid-in capital, may only be a part of your subscribed capital, and the rest can be paid at the agreed time, which is similar to the meaning of installment payment.
This raises the problem of determining the proportion and timing of the subscription before the company is incorporated.
Unlike the other four, Feng Yiping is not short of money now, so this subscription plan must naturally be designed on this premise, so that it is most beneficial to him.
To put it simply, the larger the proportion of actual payment now, the shorter the subscription time, the better.
After that, there is the issue of capital increase, which is also crucial.
For a company like Tesla, the future capital increase is certain, so the way to increase the capital in the future is to increase the par value or increase the capital contribution, the proportion of capital contribution when increasing the capital contribution, and the requirements for bringing in a third party...... Wait a minute.
These questions are very boring, but they are very critical, and in view of what has happened, Feng Yiping has to be cautious.
Because it is foreseeable that he will still run on both sides of the country and the United States in the future, and may not be in the United States for a long time, and Musk was dismissed by PAPA because he was newly married and not in the company, Feng Yiping didn't want this to happen to him.
The point is that Musk did this kind of thing later, he kicked Martin out of Tesla, although it is said that Martin is mismanaged or something, but how can this matter be made clear?
This time, ▲(1)dǐng▲(1)diǎn▲(1)小▲(1) said,.♀.$os_(); When he first established a company in the United States, he had several partners, and this was a company that he valued very much, so for this registration, he not only entrusted a law firm, but also found an accounting firm, and tried to make a plan that was very beneficial to himself, but would not make the other four shareholders dissatisfied.
Although he took the meeting three days later very seriously, in the intervening days, as usual, he would take time to meet with Straw, Martin and Mark every day to refine and determine what to do after the company was established in the future, and related matters, and would send an email to Musk every night.
In order to carry out the work smoothly in the future, when you have an advantage, the more difficult it is to keep a distance from them, otherwise there may be estrangement and confrontation.

"Hi Feng," Straw greeted him with a smile, looking up from the pile of drawings, "You'll have to find a place for us to do battery testing first,"
Feng Yiping's office has become the office of Tesla's preparatory team in the past few days, and Straw, who has completed the resignation procedures, stays here every day, and for convenience, Martin and Mark are also here most of the time.
"Hello **, hi Mark, where's Martin?"
Mark is still collecting and sorting out the information, "Oh, Martin has a diǎn private matter, come over in the afternoon,"
When he said this, he had diǎn unnatural.
Feng Yiping smiled diǎndiǎn head, needless to say, Martin mostly went to talk to his accountant and bank manager about funds.
"What are the requirements of the place?" Feng Yiping asked Straw.
"First of all, we have to determine which kind of battery to use in the future, there are two main types at present, yours and Panasonic, both are 18650, and I am ready to go to the market to see other varieties,"
"Sometimes stability is more important," Feng Yiping patted Straw on the shoulder.
Originally, as a very critical, but the performance is not very stable, the battery of the electric vehicle originally emphasized stability.
Another layer of meaning, naturally, is nothing more than the stability of supply, this, of course, is that he Feng Yiping's own lithium battery company is more stable.
Why did he bother to find Professor Jiang in the first place? Because he later founded A1 Systems, and the biggest customer of this lithium battery company is Fisker Automotive, another electric car company that was once as strong as Tesla.
He bought Professor Jiang's patent and built a lithium battery production plant in China, in order to prepare for the electric vehicle company he must participate in.
It turned out that watching others play in circles, combining all their investment projects together, becoming an ecosystem, and producing the result that one plus one is greater than two, Feng Yiping could only look at it and leave envy and saliva, now that he has the conditions, he naturally wants to play like this.
"Yes," said Strau diǎndiǎntou, "it is necessary to comprehensively consider stability, safety, and production costs,"
In this way, Feng Yiping feels that his company's 18650 lithium battery should be more competitive than Panasonic.
"We will definitely do all kinds of harsh and cruel tests, and in this process, explosions, fires, should occur frequently, so this place, independent enough, but strong enough,"
"That's it," even later, I often heard that the batteries of notebooks and mobile phones exploded or caught fire, not to mention that the current lithium battery is really not mature later, and it has to be subjected to harsh and cruel tests, Feng Yiping suddenly equated this work with the work done by Nobel back then.
"Noor's park is under construction, you go and pick a suitable house to come out, and then design a real room, I let the construction team give priority to construction, and the equipment needed will also be prioritized for procurement,"
"**, safety is the most important thing, I don't want you to get injured in the line of duty,"
"Thank you Feng, I'll be there in the afternoon," Straw said happily.
I'm afraid that only Straw is the least concerned about the investment quota.
"Mark, together?"
"Okay," Mark didn't hesitate, he was a purer engineer than Martin

During the walk after dinner, Amanda took Feng Yiping's hand and walked forward, which made the tall Feng Yiping have to bend over to go to his daughter, "Just finished eating, walk slowly,"
"Hee-hee," Amanda took her father's hand, "Quick, quick," he was so energetic, but looking at this cute little guy, Feng Yiping, who had been busy all day, didn't feel tired, "Wait, you go by yourself, be careful, Dad is going to answer the phone,"
"Hi Elon," Musk actually took the initiative to call.
"Hey Feng, how much money are you going to invest?" he asked the question directly.
What does this mean?
"It's okay to pay 100 million," Feng Yiping said lightly.
"I know," Musk laughed over there, "You may be too much, I can probably come up with a maximum of 30 million, the three of them, not necessarily able to make up 10 million, I think this is good, our registered capital is set at 100 million, you subscribe 60 million, I 30 million, and the three of them 10 million,"
If that's the case, I have to say that it's pretty good, but the other four are united, and they don't have their own shares.
"Okay, I'm more generous now, and I can pay it all at once," Feng Yiping is not pretending to be 13, but he does have the ability now, "If you are temporarily inconvenient to raise, you can agree on a subscription period,"
He doesn't actually need to do this, the reason why he said this is to let everyone understand that I really don't mean to reduce everyone's share, but I have plenty of funds, and the development of the company also requires a lot of investment.
"Hehe, you don't have to do this, but, specifically, we can discuss it at the next meeting,"
After Feng Yiping hung up the phone, there were still some doubts about the letter, how could Musk only ask for half of his shares? He raised money, 50 million should be no problem.
"Daddy, Daddy," Amanda scratched his palm.
Regardless of it, look at it at the next meeting, if Musk is 30 million, then he will be 60 million, and if he is 50 million, he will be 100 million...... In short, competing for wealth, the current Musk is really too far from himself, and the current Tesla can be regarded as the first initiative of himself, and he has the most shares and can also occupy his foot.
To Feng Yiping's surprise, at the meeting, after listening to Musk's proposal, even Martin agreed with such a capital contribution and shareholding ratio, and in the other 1,000 miles, he subscribed 4.5 million, Mark subscribed 2.5 million, and Straw subscribed 3 million.
The three of them, the first batch only paid half of the subscribed amount, and the rest will be paid within two years, while Feng Yiping will contribute 50 million in the first batch, and Musk will contribute 20 million in the first batch, and the remaining amount will be paid in two years at the longest, but if the company's development needs it, it needs to be paid within one year.
This thing is inconceivable, the plans that I have worked hard to prepare are almost useless, drinking the champagne specially prepared for him by Mike, as Feng Yiping, who has mastered the control of the company, looking at the happy Musk in front of him, the elated Martin Mark and Straw, I feel that there is diǎn unreal, so, can I say in the future, what about my Tesla? (To be continued.) )
