Chapter 20: How Did You Forget Us?
Until he returned home, Feng Yiping still couldn't help laughing, no matter what Musk thought, this Tesla really belongs to him now, and the main characters at the beginning are also there, and the conditions were so good at the beginning, there is no reason to do badly.
"Why are you so shallow?" he rubbed the corners of his mouth that had been curling.
Now he is already the richest man in the mainland, with such a big group, two companies listed on the NASDAQ under his name, and the third largest individual shareholder of Google, a big star in the future technology industry.
When you successfully invested in Google, you weren't so happy?
Of course, this is really different from his investment in Google, he is a good shareholder of Google, but he is not the founder, let alone the chairman who controls the absolute equity, people mention Google, and they think more of Page and Brin, rather than him Feng Yiping.
Therefore, no matter how he rubbed it, he couldn't help but laugh.
In fact, I don't blame him for being shallow, I can only say that the sense of accomplishment of taking Tesla, a very well-known company into the bag, is different.
To use a simple analogy, in reality, there are many girls who are more beautiful than those female stars in Hollywood, but they are unknown, but conquering a well-known Hollywood female star is naturally more fulfilling than getting a girl who is more beautiful than her - this is Feng Yiping's current state.
"It's smooth?" Huang Jingping didn't even need to look up, she could hear it just by listening to Feng Yiping's footsteps.
"Yes, Shun lì makes me a little unbelievable, Musk doesn't have a very strong demand to get a majority of the equity, hehe,"
"I think it may be that they don't have confidence in this project," Huang Jingping said, "In short, you are the chairman of the automobile company, right, Yiping, I'm really happy for you!
"No problem" Feng Yiping hugged her and her daughter, Huang Jingping's words, and woke him up at once, indeed, several others may not have such confidence in Tesla as they are.
In other words, they have confidence and enthusiasm, but they don't have a clear understanding of Tesla's future.
Yes, in addition to Feng Yiping, including Musk said in ≯∞dǐng≯∞diǎn≯∞小≯∞ .▼.√os_(); How can they be sure that Tesla will succeed, and it will be so successful?
What car company can do such a thing when it only launches a concept car and only announces the price, and then hundreds of thousands of people around the world go crazy to book and receive a soft deposit? How can they imagine it now?
Hehe, this is my advantage, Feng Yiping thought happily.
Actually, there are some reasons for this, and he doesn't know yet.
For example, why doesn't Musk seek more equity? Because now, although he feels that Tesla's success will have many difficulties, he is still very optimistic, but he is not as optimistic about his own spa.
People are complex and multifaceted, Feng Yiping is no exception, and Musk is no exception.
Although he may have been influenced by so much science fiction he watched when he was a child, he had the desire to explore space since he was a child, but to say that he established SPA for his own ideals and all mankind is really one-sided and innocent.
The establishment of SPA originated from a crazy idea before Musk, who planned a project of a Martian oasis in 01, which is to send a small real greenhouse to Mars and grow crops on Mars.
For this reason, in order to reduce costs, he went to Russia twice and tried to buy refurbished launch vehicles from Russian aerospace companies.
When he first went there in October 01, he suffered from the contempt of the Russian aerospace department and rocket designers because of his whimsy and lack of relevant expertise.
He went home and made up for this knowledge, and went to Russia again in February '02, this time, he finally stopped talking in the jargon that made people laugh, he offered to buy 3 refurbished rockets, but the Russian side bid too high, so he left the table angrily.
I ran twice, but I didn't get a single harvest, and Musk, who felt very unhappy, came up with an idea on the flight back to the United States, why don't I make it myself?
He immediately calculated that the cost of raw materials for rockets is less than 3% of the quoted price, and through the vertical integration and module method, he can reduce the cost of rocket launch to 10%, which means that as long as he can develop successfully, the gross profit margin of this industry can be as high as more than 70%!
To put it bluntly, a big reason for his establishment of SPA is due to the 70% gross profit margin, if the profit in this line is meager, it is estimated that Musk, who has had an aerospace dream since childhood, will not get involved in this industry.
This is the same as the rich man Ma Shoufu in China who talked about entrepreneurship and said that it was to help small and medium-sized companies, objectively, it may really have this effect, but subjectively, it must be to make money, as long as it is business, in the final analysis, it is to make money, and everything else is just incidental.
A stupid person like Feng Yiping who made a huge investment in Wuliao is really not a stupid boy who is subjectively not a fool to make money, and he is estimated to be the only one in the world.
Therefore, in Musk's view, it is not easy for the two companies to succeed, but 70% of the gross profit, can Tesla have such a high margin? Moreover, he is also the majority shareholder of SPA and enjoys most of the income that the company will bring in the future.
In short, no matter what, Feng Yiping got the control of Tesla, so that he had more decision-making power on some supporting options and later on the issue of setting up production plants outside the United States...... , it's all good anyway.
…………
Google, Feng Yiping stood in the hallway, reminding the guy who would bump into him next, "Hey!"
Mayer, who was wearing a blue sleeveless skirt, raised her head from the text in her hand, "Yo, Director Feng, why are you free to come here today?"
This!
"Didn't I see you for a few days, and I missed you very much, so I came to see you,"
"Wow," Meyerliso closed the clip in his hand and brushed his hair back, "I have time tonight, you say, where are we going on a date?"
ridicule was not the opposite of being teased, in the face of such a fierce female paper, Feng Yiping once again retreated gorgeously, "Oh, Peppa, are you looking for me?"
Looking at Feng Yiping, who had become the father of the child, he sneered and fled, Mayer smiled domineeringly, cut, a guy with a thief's heart (this is debatable) and no thief's guts!
Page is still busy flying, and his face is stubble, but now he finally knows the benefits of Schmidt and his team, if it weren't for them, dealing with those preparations before the listing would take up all his working time, and now how can he have time to engage in research and development?
"Man, you have to pay attention to your body," Feng Yiping followed him into the office, and saw a sandwich on the coffee table that had not been eaten yet, "No matter how busy you are, you have to go to the restaurant to eat well,"
"Well, it's okay, it's just a little bit of a moment,"
"Feng, because Brin and I are very busy, the preliminary preparations for the listing are now in charge of Schmidt, but, you know, I still hope you can get involved,"
may be because of themselves, the director and Schmidt are still not particularly harmonious, of course, in the original time and space, their relationship is not as good as the outside world imagined.
"You have successfully led two companies to go public, and now they are very good and have a lot of successful experience, so I have to ask you for this,"
Feng Yiping readily agreed, "No problem,"
Google's listing is also closely related to itself, and of course you have to pay attention.
"What about the R&D progress?" he asked.
Page shook his hand, "The progress is good, it is expected to be launched by the end of the year at the latest,"
"Hehe, then I have reason to believe that next year's fundraising, we will definitely set a record," at least it will be higher than Google's stock price in history!
"Hey Feng," Brin didn't know where to jump out, and patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder, Feng Yiping looked at it, yo, even Brin grew a beard, it seems that the two of them are really hard this time, "Hard work buddy!"
"We enjoy this state of work," Brin picked up the sandwich on the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth, "I heard that you and Musk have set up an electric car company called Tesla?
Paige, who was already working in front of the computer, also stopped when he heard this, "yes, I forgot to say it just now, why didn't you call us about this? Oh, you had such a plan when you invested in AP,"
"Yes, I also want the world of the future to be less polluted," Feng Yiping smiled.
He really forgot that the two of them were also very interested in electric vehicles, and it turned out that Tesla launched the first 7 ROASR electric vehicles, and Page and Brin were the owners of two of them, and later they also invested heavily in Tesla.
"You're too busy, I really forgot, but it's okay, when the next batch of financing comes, if you are still interested, I will definitely give priority to your investment,"
"Why wouldn't you be interested? Of course you are! Also, you must remember that we are going to be the owners of the first cars," (To be continued.) )
