Chapter 453: Fang Ping, you're too willful!
"What can I do?"
Fang Ping couldn't help but laugh and said, "I want to say, if you are not in a hurry to go back, you will go with me to buy Tesla." ”
"Let's go back together afterwards!"
"Okay! We went back two days late! Zheng Ting breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Well, that's it!"
Fang Ping nodded, exchanged a few more words with everyone, and asked them to arrange their own afternoon rest.
And he himself took Ye Kai and other bodyguards out of the hotel, drove the hotel car to some famous attractions in the city that never sleeps, and bought some local special gifts for Qin Qingyun and his family by the way.
Speaking of which, every time he comes to the United States, he comes in a hurry, and he goes in a hurry, and he really doesn't have time to take a good look.
If you have time today, you can take a stroll.
This stroll did not stop until nightfall.
took Ye Kai and other bodyguards to Chinatown, and after eating Chinese-style Chinese food, he drove back to the hotel with various gifts he bought during the day.
Soon after returning to the hotel, Fang Ping received a report forwarded by Su Xiaoxiao, who had also been playing outside for an afternoon, on the results of Fengziyue's investigation of Tesla.
According to the report, it was about the same as the situation he remembered about Tesla.
In April this year, when he took the helm of Tesla in the future and brought Tesla to a market value of more than 500 billion US dollars, Musk, the founder of the former foreign electronic payment giant PayPal, officially took office.
invested more than $6 million in Tesla in exchange for the position of chairman of Tesla.
At the same time, just like memory, Tesla in the current time period, which is in the initial stage of R&D bottleneck, will accumulate more and more contradictions and conflicts over time.
A large amount of capital was invested, and there was no feedback until three years later, because of the gearbox problem, which led to a complete outbreak of contradictions.
Tesla's founders and key figures in technology research and development have left one after another.
In addition, the report also shows that the current valuation of Tesla is about 100 million US dollars.
Although the report also gave opinions such as not being optimistic about Tesla's development and cautious investment, they were all ignored by Fang Ping, and he was even excited about Tesla's valuation of only 100 million US dollars.
Now in the trough of Tesla, enter the market at a very small price, even if it will be invested again later. When Tesla goes public in the future, and even reaches the peak of market capitalization, it will be dozens of times, hundreds of times, or even thousands of times of ultra-high returns.
If he misses it at this time, he will cry to death.
After reading the report, Fang Ping asked Su Xiaoxiao to arrange to fly to San Francisco tomorrow, and asked her to tell Feng Ziyue to officially send a letter of visit to Tesla on behalf of Future Technology.
After arranging these things, Fang Ping and Su Xiaoxiao separated and went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
Fang Ping got up early, and after exercising habitually, he met with Su Xiaoxiao and the others and had breakfast together. I said hello to Mr. Lin and the others of the Lin family, got into the hotel car, and headed to the airport in the city that never sleeps.
Because there were a lot of people accompanying him this time, Su Xiaoxiao did not buy a ticket, but rented a small passenger plane that could accommodate more than 30 people at Sleepless City Airport in the name of Future Technology.
Soon, Fang Ping and his people arrived at the airport, got on a small passenger plane, and flew straight to San Francisco, where Tesla's headquarters are located.
Four hours later, the small passenger plane in which Fang Ping and his people were traveling landed at San Francisco Airport.
Then Fang Ping got off the passenger plane and walked out of the airport surrounded by Su Xiaoxiao and others.
"Boss, welcome to the United States!"
As soon as he walked out of the airport, Feng Ziyue, who had been waiting at the exit of the airport for a long time, greeted him with a secretary and bodyguard.
Fang Ping was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "Mr. Feng, why are you here?" ”
"You, the big boss, came to San Francisco, and I, who was a subordinate, wouldn't it be rude if I didn't come to greet you!" Feng Ziyue smiled at Su Xiaoxiao and Zheng Ting, and joked.
After Fang Ping also joked with Feng Ziyue, he asked, "How is Tesla's arrangement?" ”
"It's been arranged, boss, you can go at any time!"
After Feng Ziyue replied, she smiled again: "Speaking of which, Musk, the chairman of Tesla, almost took us for liars when he learned that you were going to visit!" ”
"If I hadn't crossed paths with him, he would have refused our visit!"
"How?" Fang Ping said curiously.
Feng Ziyue said helplessly: "People don't believe that the founders of such a big Internet giant company as Future Technology will pay attention to them Tesla, a small car company!" ”
"And visit in person!"
"Uh, I listen to you, you have an opinion on my acquisition of Tesla!" Fang Ping raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully.
Feng Ziyue didn't hide it, and nodded: "Yes, I don't know where you learned about Tesla, Mr. Fang, and I don't know what is worthy of your attention in this small business with less than a hundred people." ”
"But I want to say that a small business of this size is smashing a large area in the United States. It's really not worth your trip. ”
Speaking of this, although she has been investigating Tesla or something according to Fang Ping's instructions, she is against Fang Ping's acquisition of Tesla from the bottom of her heart.
First, as she said, she didn't see any sparkle in Tesla. Anything worthy of the attention of Fang Ping, a billionaire worth tens of billions of dollars.
Second, Tesla is making cars, and the Internet and the Internet belong to two industries.
So she didn't understand Fang Ping's behavior of putting a lot of things on the side of Future Technology and other companies, and going all the way to the United States to buy such a small company.
Fang Ping is not surprised, Tesla at this time is indeed only a small company with less than 100 employees, and it is normal not to be understood.
smiled: "Tesla is not very good now, but I believe that Tesla's future development space will be very broad!" ”
"Boss, the reason you believe it?" Feng Ziyue was stunned.
Of course, Fang Ping would not say that he knew what the future of Tesla would be, he touched his nose and said seriously: "Intuition!" ”
Gut feeling?
The corners of Feng Ziyue's mouth twitched, is this thing a reason? A gut feeling to let you, the big boss, put down a bunch of things and focus on a small company?
Boss, do you dare to be willful!
Fang Ping looked at Feng Ziyue, didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "It's not too early, let's go to Tesla's headquarters first!" ”
"Uh, Boss, this way, please!"
Feng Ziyue wanted to say a few more words, but she saw Su Xiaoxiao and Zheng Ting looking at each other, indicating that the matter had been decided, and there was no need to sweep away Fang Ping's interest because of a trivial matter. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again, and made a gesture of please.
Fang Ping nodded, walked out of the station with Feng Ziyue and the others, came to the luxury car convoy brought by Feng Ziyue, got on the luxury car convoy respectively, drove out of the airport, and went to Tesla's headquarters!
