An hour later, Fang Ping and his party came to a stop outside Tesla's headquarters in a car.

After some negotiation between the people in the first car and Tesla's security guards, the motorcade entered Tesla's headquarters and came to the front of a four-story office building.

Fang Ping glanced at the front of the building through the car window, a figure that was much younger than the figure of Fafu in later generations, and led the three people to greet him.

In the next second, the door of the car Fang Ping was riding in was opened by the bodyguard.

Feng Ziyue, who was in the same car, got out of the car first, greeted Musk from Tesla, and after a hug, he saw Fang Ping, who got out of the car later, and hurriedly introduced: "Musk, this is the founder and CEO of our future technology, Fang Ping!" ”

"Mr. Fang, this is Tesla Chairman Elon Musk!"

"Hello, Mr. Musk! I'm Fang Ping! Fang Ping stretched out his hand.

"You... Hello! ”

Musk was slightly shocked, isn't it! The founder of the legend of Future Technology turned out to be just a young man about twenty years old?

This... How is this possible?

Future Technology is an Internet giant with a valuation of up to 100 billion US dollars!

Moreover, I heard that the founder of Future Technology also founded the Huaguo e-commerce giant Weilai Mall and the instant messaging giant YY.

The two Internet giants are also valued at tens of billions of US dollars.

These three behemoths are all from the handwriting of a young man.

Is it possible?

Even if you are a genius, you are not so cruel!

Fang Ping shook hands with Musk, let go of his hand, saw him shocked, and joked: "Mr. Musk, looking at you, it seems that you don't believe that I am the founder of Future Technology!" ”

"yes, I'm a little unconvinced!"

Musk also did not hide it: "I can't believe that the founder of such a big company as Future Technology will be so young." ”

As he spoke, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

He has always considered himself a genius, and he has seen many business geniuses touted by the media, such as Wei Ruan's Bill and so on.

There may be many people who started their businesses around the age of 20 like Fang Ping.

But there is absolutely no one who can start a business around the age of 20 like Fang Ping, and push the company he founded to the top of the valuation of hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Even Wei Ruan's Bill is far inferior to Fang Ping.

Fang Ping shrugged: "Future Technology is a young company, and the founder of Future Technology is naturally a young man!" ”

"Mr. Fang, what you said makes sense!" Musk nodded.

On the side, Feng Ziyue began to introduce again: "Mr. Musk, this is Su Xiaoxiao, the general secretary of Fang, and Zheng Ting, the legal department of Future Technology..."

"Hello..."

Feng Ziyue introduced Fang Ping's entourage to the side, and Musk and others stepped forward to shake hands and say hello.

After a round of introduction, Feng Ziyue said with a smile: "Mr. Musk, we are always very interested in Tesla, can you take us to Tesla?" ”

"Of course! This way, please! ”

Musk smiled nondeniably and made a gesture of please.

Fang Ping said a few polite words and walked into Tesla's office building with Musk.

Entering the office building, although Musk didn't know the true intention of Fang Ping and others to visit, he still led Fang Ping people around the office building area as if he were entertaining VIPs, and gave a brief introduction.

Fang Ping listened to Musk's introduction while observing the current Tesla office building.

I have to say that the current Tesla really can't be compared with Tesla, which has a market value of more than 500 billion US dollars in later generations.

Even for anyone, it is hard to believe that such a small company will become a leading stock in the new energy vehicle industry in a few years, far behind a number of established car manufacturers.

If Fang Ping hadn't come back from the afterlife, he wouldn't have believed it either.

Not long after, Fang Ping and others, under the leadership of Musk and others, visited Tesla's various R&D departments before they came to Tesla's conference room together.

Fang Ping, Musk and others sat down on both sides of the huge oval conference table, chatting about future technology, Tesla's development prospects and other topics.

After greeting for a while, Fang Ping went straight to the point and said: "Mr. Musk, I came to visit today because I am very interested in the new energy vehicle industry, and Tesla is one of the pioneers in the new energy vehicle industry. ”

"Second, I want to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between the two sides!"

"What does Mr. Fang mean by cooperation?" Musk asked rhetorically.

Fang Ping said seriously: "Cooperation at the capital level!" ”

"Mr. Fang, you want to buy Tesla?"

Musk raised his eyebrows, and his heart was a little abrupt, and he finally understood the reason why Fang Ping brought people to Tesla.

Thinking about it, Fang Ping was in charge of three large enterprises, if there was no special reason, how could he come all the way to visit a little-known small business?

Although he is very optimistic about Tesla's prospects and is very confident that Tesla can break out of the world, but that is all in the future, for now, he still doesn't think Tesla has anything to do with it.

Fang Ping emphasized: "It's not an acquisition, it's a cooperation!" ”

"Does it make a difference?" One of Tesla's founders, Eberhard, who was sitting next to Musk, sneered.

Originally, the visit of Fang Ping and his entourage made him excited for a long time, thinking that the career he was proud of had been recognized by an Internet tycoon like Fang Ping.

He never expected that behind Fang Ping's approval was the acquisition of Tesla.

If it is financing, he is in favor of it with both hands and feet, but if it is to be exchanged for an acquisition, he will not do it.

Because of the financing, it was Fang Ping who brought money into Tesla. But the acquisition is about to change the surname.

In other words, once Fang Ping acquires Tesla, whether Tesla has anything to do with him in the future depends on Fang Ping's meaning.

"Yes, there is a difference!"

Fang Ping said with a smile: "The acquisition is a hammer deal. And cooperation, I will work with you to make Tesla bigger and stronger, and develop a real pure electric car and sports car! ”

"Mr. Fang, you are confusing the public!" Musk said meaningfully: "But I still want to hear what Mr. Fang's so-called cooperation method is?" ”

"Musk...", the two founders, Eberhard and Tarpenning, who were sitting next to Musk, were anxious.

They are really worried that Musk will be persuaded by Fang Ping to agree to Fang Ping's so-called cooperation, which is essentially an acquisition.

Fang Ping said lightly: "It's very simple, I invested 100 million US dollars to acquire 70% of Tesla's overall shares..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Eberhard is mad, look, what am I talking about, what bullshit cooperation. It is clearly an acquisition under the guise of cooperation.

Fang Ping was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Eberhard, don't worry, wait for me to say okay?" ”

"Eberhard, let Mr. Fang finish!" Musk said in a deep voice.

Although Fang Ping offered a purchase price of 100 million US dollars, it was very attractive. But thinking that Fang Ping was going to take away 70% of Tesla's shares, he was unhappy.

The reason why he financed Tesla was that he felt that Tesla's new energy vehicle project had great development prospects. Also very optimistic about Tesla's potential.

It was precisely because he was optimistic that he could not let Fang Ping snatch food from his mouth.

The most important thing is that there is no shortage of money on Tesla's books at the moment.

Fang Ping said: "At the same time, I will continue to provide Tesla with R&D funds until Tesla truly develops a pure electric sports car, and mass production to achieve profitability!" ”

"In other words, after you accept my cooperation, you don't have to worry about funding from now on, and you can engage in R&D with peace of mind."

Musk and others looked at each other, and they were a little moved.

Yes, the heart is impressed.

If it's just the previous one, Fang Ping invested 100 million US dollars to buy 70% of Tesla's shares, and they don't feel anything. The latter can be added to provide a steady stream of R&D funds.

That's too lethal.

They know too well how important funding is when they engage in R&D.

To put it mildly, as long as you have money, you can keep recruiting people, buying research equipment, and speeding up the progress of research and development. Even if there is a bottleneck in R&D, there is enough capital and time to break through.

I'm afraid that if there is no money, once the R&D encounters a bottleneck and there is no money to solve it, then Tesla will face the risk of being cut in half.

The most important point is that the R&D process is not smooth sailing, but continuous trial and error until you are on the right path to R&D.

This process is very costly.

In addition, there is one thing they know very clearly, and that is the stake in their hands.

Although they now have a lot of shares in their hands, they know that with Tesla's development, R&D progress and other aspects, Tesla will still raise funds one at a time.

Use the integrated funds to invest in research and development.

When the time comes, the shares in their hands will continue to dilute.

Therefore, selling Tesla shares to Fang Ping, obtaining Fang Ping's friendship and a steady stream of R&D funds, he still covered his shares and refused Fang Ping's cooperation.

It's a multiple-choice question that they need to do at the moment.

Fang Ping looked around, did not rush to ask Musk and others, but quietly waited for Musk and others to reply.

After a long while, Musk said in a deep voice: "Mr. Fang, the conditions you offered are very exciting." But I wonder why? ”

"I don't think there's anything about Tesla that attracts you to spend so much money to take a stake in Tesla!"

Both of them stared at Fang Ping directly, full of doubts in their hearts, just like Musk.

They can maintain full confidence in Tesla, because Tesla was founded by them, just like their own children.

But Fang Ping, an outsider, also has so much confidence in Tesla, and he also offered such unimaginably rich conditions to take a stake in Tesla.

It really made them feel like they were dreaming, and they doubted Fang Ping's motives.

Fang Ping raised his eyebrows, of course he would not say that he knew the future of Tesla, shrugged his shoulders, and said nonsense: "It's very simple, you are the first person in the world to build a car with IT concepts." ”

"I appreciate your courage, and I am very optimistic about the new energy vehicle industry. That's why I chose you! ”

"Still have questions?"

Musk frowned, a little dissatisfied with Fang Ping's answer, and didn't believe that Fang Ping would dare to smash hundreds of millions of dollars and invest in Tesla just because he was optimistic.

But he couldn't find any other reason.

After thinking about it, he discussed with Eberhard and the two of them in a low voice for a moment before he raised his head and said, "We can agree to your shareholding cooperation, but we have conditions!" ”

"On what terms?" Fang Ping asked rhetorically.
