Chapter 455: Stock Market Blockade
"On what terms?" Fang Ping asked rhetorically.
Musk said seriously: "You just said that you will continue to provide follow-up research and development funds, which must be written in the contract." ”
"No problem!" Fang Ping readily agreed.
As long as Tesla can be acquired, what is the money?
Even if the follow-up R&D funds are continuously provided and written into the contract, how much funds can be provided in the future?
He knows that Tesla's overall R&D cost from the initial R&D to the final development of pure electric vehicles is only two or three billion US dollars.
Even if it is calculated according to the billion-dollar R&D cost, it is not even a hair in terms of Tesla's market value of more than 500 billion US dollars when it goes public.
In other words, he today exchanged 100 million US dollars, and the 1 billion US dollars invested in research and development in the future, in exchange for 70% of Tesla's shares. Embrace 70% of the more than 500 billion US dollars in later generations, which is more than 300 billion US dollars.
No matter how you calculate it, you can make a lot of money!
Musk was stunned, he didn't expect Fang Ping to agree so quickly, and said with some doubts: "Really? ”
"Of course it's true."
Fang Ping shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Musk and the others, and said, "But I also have one condition!" ”
"You say!" Musk and others breathed a sigh of relief, and sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.
Fang Ping smiled: "My condition is very simple, you founders, including Musk, must stay at Tesla. Work with me to make Tesla bigger and stronger! ”
He knows very well that Tesla's development in the future is so strong, which is inseparable from Musk's management and Tesla's technical team.
If he invests in shares, Musk and others stop playing, and one withdraws shares and leaves, it will be a big loss.
Just to acquire a new energy vehicle company, he will not spend so much energy and offer such lucrative conditions.
"That's it?" Musk and the others were stunned, thinking that Fang Ping was going to put forward some conditions that would make them embarrassed, but they didn't expect to just mention such a small and unsmall condition.
Not even a condition.
Because even without Fang Ping's shares, it is impossible for them to leave Tesla.
Fang Ping was surprised: "That's right! What other conditions could there be? ”
"Okay, we agreed!"
Musk and the others stared at Fang Ping for a long time, and after making sure that he was not joking, they said in unison.
Fang Ping smiled: "Since you have no problem, then let people draw up a contract!" ”
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
Musk, as the chairman of Tesla, quickly got up and agreed, walked out of the conference room, and arranged for Tesla's legal consultant to come to the conference room to draw up the contract in public.
Fang Ping didn't stand still, and asked Zheng Ting and the legal team she brought to join the ranks of contract drafting.
Fortunately, at this time, Tesla's shares were relatively concentrated, most of which were in the hands of Musk and Tesla's two founders, so that the contract was relatively simple.
In addition to some of the usual provisions, only three clauses have been added.
One is Fang Ping's promise to continue to provide follow-up research and development funds, and the other is the terms of Musk and others promising to work at Tesla.
The last clause is the penalty for breach of commitment by both parties, etc.
Soon, the contract was drawn up with the cooperation of the legal counsel of both parties, and Fang Ping and Musk signed the contract separately and took away a copy of their own.
After signing the contract, Musk's attitude towards Fang Ping was more enthusiastic than before, and after welcoming Fang Ping to join Tesla, he hesitated: "Mr. Fang, look at when the funds for investing in Tesla will arrive!" ”
"Wait a minute!"
Fang Ping smiled, took out the bank card in the wallet from the bag Su Xiaoxiao was holding, handed it to Su Xiaoxiao, and ordered: "Xiaoxiao, take it and transfer it!" ”
"Okay, Boss!" Su Xiaoxiao took the bank card, asked Musk to get a computer, and transferred money through future payment.
"Mr. Fang's future payment is really powerful!"
Musk, who had been watching Su Xiaoxiao's transfer from the side, sighed.
He is from an electronic payment background, so he naturally understands how amazing Fangping's future payment and cross-bank cross-border transfer business is.
It is no wonder that in the future, payment can replace PayPal and become the largest electronic payment platform in the world.
Fang Ping was slightly proud in his heart, strictly speaking, the Musk in front of him is a pioneer in the field of electronic payment, and it is also a recognition and glory for him to be praised by him for future payment.
But he didn't show it on his face, and said modestly: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”
Later, after Fang Ping's funds were transferred to Tesla's account, he chatted with Musk and others about Tesla's R&D direction, and by the way, he brought private goods in the chat, revealing a little bit about the problems in Tesla's R&D in later generations.
The reason why a little bit is revealed is purely because Fang Ping really doesn't understand the research and development of automobiles. It was too in-depth, and he didn't know it himself.
To reveal a little, I also hope that Tesla's research and development can take fewer detours.
Of course, he doesn't expect his little bit of Taoism to help Tesla, what can really help Tesla is to burn a lot of money.
He believes that as long as the funds are in place, Tesla's development will be faster and bigger than in its previous life.
Not long after the greetings, Fang Ping saw that the time was not early, so he took the initiative to invite Musk and others to dinner together.
The next day, Fang Ping took people to Tesla's headquarters again, and under the introduction of Musk and others, he officially became a major shareholder of Tesla and got to know Tesla's existing employees.
And also very boldly announced that Tesla's existing employees will be paid a 20% increase in wages from that month.
Fang Ping met with Tesla employees, and after chatting with Musk and others, he left Tesla and went to the Future Technology Branch and YY Overseas Branch to inspect.
It is worth mentioning that YY overseas branch and future technology overseas branch office in the same building.
When he arrived at the branch, Fang Ping met with the general manager of YY, the interim head of the overseas branch, the general manager of the future technology branch and others, and listened to their reports on their respective departments.
After inspecting the branches of YY and Future Technology, Fang Ping went to the Future Science and Technology Research Branch in the United States Region, Xingchen Science and Technology Research Branch, and so on.
After a series of inspections, it was already three days later.
On this day, when Fang Ping's inspection was over, he was resting in the hotel, and was preparing to return to China, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly walked in in a hurry, and said with a solemn expression: "Boss, something happened!" ”
"What's wrong?" Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "I just received a call from Mr. Chen of Shengda Games and Mr. Lin of Future Capital, claiming that Shengda Games has been blocked by unknown forces in the stock market!" ”
"At present, the stock price of Shengda Games has plummeted, and there is a lot of bad news in the market!"
"When?"
Fang Ping frowned: "Did you find out who was blocking Shengda Game?" ”
