The atmosphere in the conference room has become a little awkward in the quarrel, and the biggest obstacle to the negotiations at the moment is that the seven founders of Tesla Inc. want to keep a part of the shares.

Especially Larry Page, Sergey, and eBay Jeff Scol, who is not bad for money, but Martin Eberhard, the real founder of Tesla, who has been kicked out of the company, and Musk, whose expression has always been complicated, did not dwell on this.

Elon Musk was forced by the board of directors to decide to accept Andy Smith's acquisition negotiations, and he has been unable to let go of the loss of the company's dominance that he has won step by step.

He had already decided not to get involved in Tesla's affairs, and he would continue to play his own rocket with the money, he didn't believe that the young man who was holding his mobile phone all the time on the other side would allow him to dominate the company's affairs.

You must know that this seemingly young genius is not a good person, for acquisitions, mergers and acquisitions are very good, but also has a ruthless and cunning outside consensus, big layoffs, kicking out the founders, sending corrupt subordinates to prison...

Don't look at the group of professional managers under him one by one, it's because this young man can completely control these people, everyone knows that Andy Smith's think tank is a group of military police, what they do is to help him deal with the daily briefings of various companies, monitor the operations of each company, and the financial directors and legal advisers of each company are all out of his think tank.

To be honest, Andy's means of controlling the company, only those who really know how rigorous and solid it is, in this case, he can certainly show a lot of power to the CEOs, and in the same way, he can also fire any CEO with a letter without causing turmoil in the company.

Musk is also a genius, and he also has the title of tyrant, and he was able to be united by the company's employees to make a fan when he was married and on his honeymoon, so you can imagine how unpopular his character is.

He has long analyzed that partnering with Andy Smith has no sense of security at all, and he has to work hard honestly and obediently, once he violates him, Musk is very convinced that Andy Smith will kick himself away without even blinking an eye.

"Guys, I'll get straight to the point... Andy paused "Plants vs. Zombies" on his phone, looked up, said with a smile on his face, and quieted the conference room, and everyone's eyes were focused on him before continuing.

"200 million US dollars, I want 100% of Tesla's shares, I don't like trouble and constraints, after taking over, I will definitely carry out some reforms to the company, of course, you will still receive the founder of Tesla's supercar limited edition as a commemoration, and after the completion of the first batch of orders, Tesla will carry out Series A financing, and the co-founders here will get priority, which can be written in the memorandum.

After all, the first batch of orders, Tesla will definitely have a big loss when it is delivered, I don't want you to regret it when the time comes, if you can't control 100%, then I can only say sorry to you!"

Andy's words made the atmosphere in the conference room condense, especially the executives of Tesla, looking at each other, they all saw the worry in each other's eyes, to be honest, the management of Tesla would like to have such a young rich man who is not bad for money as the boss, don't worry about running out of money to burn, don't even have to pay Nima's salary like now.

But at the same time, they are the most worried and worried people, because the big boss who is about to take over the company is a ruthless master, and the layoff knife is wielded by six, okay, now when I hear it, it is really necessary to carry out rectification, and this rectification will definitely start with layoffs.

But they can't do anything but just watch, after all, they are just fish on the board, and they are at the mercy of these big bosses.

Andy's words are almost final, he is not short of the money of these people, and when his acquisition is completed, he will raise the price of the first batch of orders under pressure to minimize the loss, and then start to enlarge the moves, hype new concepts, and raise the company's valuation, he will carry out the first round of financing, so that after the four rounds of financing are over, it can also be easily pushed to the IPO.

In fact, Larry Page and a few people also saw that Andy was willing to invest in the project they were already optimistic about, and they were a little reluctant to get out, no one can say whether Tesla will soar in the hands of Andy, in case it soars, then I don't regret dying, anyway, there is not much money, and it is good to keep a little share appreciation.

No one is a fool, the meaning of Andy's words couldn't be clearer, Lao Tzu doesn't want to take you to play now, that's because the company's shares are now at the price of cabbage, wait, wait for the master to raise the company's valuation, you still want me to play, you have priority in the first round of financing.

Larry Page and the others also know that this matter is not up to them, unless they don't want to reach this acquisition, either continue to throw money at Musk to burn, or watch Tesla file for bankruptcy, you know, there is still a group of employees outside waiting to be fed.

did not continue to entangle, the next negotiations began to enter a simple mode, various asset checks, financial handovers, and documents were signed in front of Musk, shareholders and Andy, although it seemed very busy, but the whole process was very smooth.

"Bang Bang—"

In the conference room, after Andy and Musk handed over the contract, when the two shook hands, there was applause, although it was warm, but except for the people on Andy's side, the smiles on the faces of others were somewhat dull and tasteless.

The tall and graceful Torrey Black handed Andy 7 white envelopes, and the shareholders, including Musk, watched as the first envelope was handed out by Andy and handed to Musk.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

。。。。。。

After the check is handed over, whether you are happy or not, happy or not, the deal has been reached, Tesla has belonged to Andy Smith from this moment on, and this group of people will need to attend the press conference tomorrow to tell the outside world and Tesla's customers that Andy Smith, who is not bad for money, took over Tesla and continues to develop clean and environmentally friendly electric vehicles.

After sending off the group of former shareholders, Andy looked around with a smile on his face at Tesla's management and development team who had stayed for a week, and patted his hands.

"Smack!"

"Alright, everyone, now it's all your own people, come, everyone sit down, let's have a meeting!"

Andy stood on the main seat of the conference table, the smile on his face was maintained from beginning to end, holding a signature pen in his hand and pressing it vertically on the conference table, waiting for everyone to sit down, he said with a smile: "From the moment we signed it, we are all a family, I know that your feelings are inevitably a little complicated and apprehensive now, maybe you have also heard some of my rumors."

Okay, I'll admit, I did think about laying off Tesla, but one person's words convinced me, to be honest, I'm a person who is more difficult to convince, but I have to believe this person's words, are you curious about who this person is? Come in, Martin ... ”

Everyone in the conference room couldn't help but be slightly stunned when they heard Andy shouting, and they all turned their heads to look at the door that was opened, as well as the extremely familiar face that had just left the conference room, and Tesla's management applauded with some excitement.

They had probably guessed that Martin Eberhard, the real founder of the company, had been recruited back by the new boss.

"Oh, all right, Martin come and sit down, you guys sit down too, let's continue the meeting... Andy chuckled twice, let Martin sit in the first position on his left, and then looked around, and said with an indifferent expression: "Although there will be no layoffs, but the salary will drop by 25 percent, I hope you understand the predicament that Tesla is currently in." ”

Tesla's management is secretly relieved, as long as there are no layoffs, salary cuts are still acceptable, especially at present, the world is affected by the economic crisis, and giant companies like GM have begun large-scale global layoffs, and salary cuts are completely acceptable.

"Personnel appointments will be adjusted, the biggest problem we are facing now is the cost of Tesla's electric sports car mass production, the first batch of orders will definitely be sold at a loss, we can only grit our teeth and increase the price, after all, there are clauses in the pre-sale contract, however, in order to reduce the damage to the company's credit, we also accept unsubscribe. “

As soon as Andy's words fell, there was an uproar in the conference room, and some messy discussions began, Andy coughed lightly twice, and after everyone closed up, he said indifferently: "Increase the price to $110,000, and at the same time start to form a negotiation team to find Panasonic and Mercedes-Benz to renegotiate the price!"

Now Tesla, the battery is Panasonic, and the cabin is Mercedes-Benz. Tesla's unique technology is motor technology and battery management technology. However, this is not such an unattainable technology, and the difficulty of being replaced and surpassed is not very difficult for those who have been automakers for 100 years or have technology accumulation.

So, Martin, I will arrange a financial accounting team for you to join your technology development team, and continue to develop our Tesla's unique new technology, motor, battery and battery management technology under the condition of reasonable cost control, and establish a relatively complete product technology system and charging technology system. In the future, we will also start to build supercharging stations on a large scale according to our own charging technology standards.

According to the trend that the energy density of lithium-ion batteries will increase by 8% per year, and the cost will decrease accordingly, the cost of our electric vehicles will be lower and lower, and the whole world will have our Tesla cars, and the coolest thing is to make popular products, fashion products, these products will save the world... “

There was warm applause in the conference room, no one would underestimate the young boss standing in the main seat, every word he said was on the center of gravity of Tesla, and at the same time pointed out a path of research and development for Tesla's future, not excited that it was fake, sure enough, the reputation of genius was not blown out, he really understood.

Andy smiled and pressed down slightly with his hands, but the applause still didn't stop, and he could only raise his voice and say: "Of course, we will also make money, make a lot of money! When the time comes, I will take out shares to establish equity incentives, our Tesla will be the future of the automobile industry, and all the rumors that Tesla is doomed to bankruptcy will be self-defeating... ”

There was thunderous applause in the conference room, and the cheers seemed to directly tear apart the dark clouds that had been dispelled above Tesla's head!
