For the alliance leader to be so coquettish, I reward and add more, and I still owe five more.

……

Elon Mascu has a high IQ and a high EQ.

He transferred to the world-renowned Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States on a scholarship, and received a bachelor's degree in economics and a bachelor's degree in physics.

He was also preparing to go to Stanford University for a master's degree in materials science and applied physics, and although he dropped out on the second day of admission, no one would look down on him for that.

Because, the first company he founded after dropping out of school sold nearly $400 million four years after it was founded. And the start-up capital of this company is only 28,000 US dollars, and the rate of return is simply terrifying.

His subsequent experience is also like a hanging, in Silicon Valley, where geniuses gather, he can still have a lot of fame, which shows his genius.

But the invincibility of this genius has become underestimated in the last two years.

Of course, Elon Mascu has never been discouraged, and he has always believed that under his leadership, both SpaceX and Tesla will have an infinitely bright future. In fact, his self-confidence is correct, and these two companies will earn him more than $10 billion in the future.

However, he met Wen Ming.

Younger than him, richer than him, more famous than him, more ...... than him

The only thing Elon Mascu can be complacent in front of Wen Ming is that he has two bachelor's degrees, while Wen Ming has not yet obtained any degrees and has not officially graduated from university. Although the outside world knows that Wen Ming is taking a leave of absence from Harvard University, not dropping out, but in terms of Wen Ming's current achievements, is it possible for him to return to Harvard University to continue his studies?

But what's the use?

Bill Gates also dropped out of Harvard University, but he is now the richest man in the world.

And when Apple goes public, Wen Ming will definitely replace Bill Gates and become the new richest man in the world. Even, in a way that broke the record of the world's richest man, he became the richest man in the world.

"Mr. Wen Ming, I don't think Daimler will sell a large amount of equity in a short period of time after selling the Chrysler Group."

Elon Mascu resisted the urge to vomit blood, and very sensibly began to dispel Wen Ming's influence on him. From the time he began to have this thought, he had already failed in front of Wen Ming.

Wen Ming smiled: "On the contrary, I think they will inevitably continue to integrate their businesses, because their goal is to surpass Toyota and Volkswagen and become the world's No. 1 among car companies." I think Mr. Musku must have felt deeply about this, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, just like you want Tesla to become the world's No. 1 in new energy vehicles, or even the world's No. 1 among car companies. ”

Although Wen Ming does not necessarily invest in Daimler, the inference that Daimler wants to integrate resources is true. If nothing else, he knew that Daimler's luxury car brand Maybach would be discontinued two years later, and then integrated into the new Mercedes-Maybach, which became an extension of the original Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The two sides did not argue on this point, because Elon Musku would not approve of it until Wen Ming had not succeeded in taking a stake in Daimler. And Elon Mascu has no strong reason to refute the idea of Wen Ming wanting to take a stake in Daimler.

"Mr. Wenming, there is one thing I need to remind you of, maybe Martin Eberhard didn't tell you when he sold his shares."

At this time, in fact, there is no difference between it and tearing your face, because Wen Ming is now taking money to smash it. And what made Elon Mascu want to vomit blood was that Wen Ming smashed the chips with the money, not him.

didn't even have a chance to be smashed by the other party's money, how could Elon Mascu not flip the table?

"That's at Tesla, where I'm the chairman and I have the highest decision-making power. In other words, whether you agree or not, I can accept Daimler's capital injection. ”

The place where the two of them were was the reception room of the institute, and the table in the middle was heavy, and Elon Mascu couldn't lift it, so he had to flip the table in a different direction.

Wen Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, you with the highest decision-making power can naturally accept Daimler's capital injection without asking my opinion." ”

Hearing Wen Ming's words, Elon Mascu was stunned, because he was ready to argue with Wen Ming about the power content of the supreme decision-making power. He was even ready to say what kind of reason he would use to reject Wen Ming when he said that he had limited financing rights as a current shareholder.

But he didn't expect that Wen Ming would agree with his point of view.

However, would Wen Ming really agree?

Normally, even if Wenming's shares do not have the highest decision-making power, they can force Elon Musku not to accept capital injections from third parties. However, the means of the capital world are very numerous, and Mascu can completely set up a leather bag company, and then let Daimler inject 50 million US dollars into this leather bag company, and he can privately transfer 10% of his shares to this leather bag company.

In this way, Daimler's absolute control of the leather bag company is equivalent to holding a 10% stake in Tesla. The $50 million owned by the leather bag company has become Elon Mascu's private wealth, and he can directly inject capital, and then forcibly dilute Wen Ming's equity on the grounds that the company does not need more development funds.

If such a situation occurs, Wen Ming can only choose to solve the problem through legal means, but it is difficult to get a result in a lawsuit involving such a problem within one or two years.

Wen Ming has a team of lawyers, and Elon Mascu naturally has it.

After a year or two, Tesla has begun to rise, and at that time Wen Ming can only become a shareholder. And he can't use the technology he has mastered to make Tesla the Apple company among car companies and create a car company with ultra-high net profit margins.

But since Elon Mascu chose to come to Jurassic Island to meet Wen Ming, it proved that he was not willing to use this method at the last moment. Offending Apple, or Wen Ming, an arrogant rich man, is not easy for Tesla.

Therefore, Wen Ming said with a relaxed face: "I heard my Martin Eberhard say that the company's R&D costs have been high, and the market response of the first mass-produced model is also very bad, so I want to know, how long can you hold on to 50 million US dollars?" ”

Using the highest decision-making power to prevent Wen Ming from injecting capital, or even diluting Wen Ming's equity, even if it is the method of using a leather bag company, it can only be used once.

If Elon Mascu dares to use it twice, then Wen Ming is confident that he will deprive Elon Mascu of his supreme decision-making power in a short period of time, or even send him to prison.

Moreover, it is debatable whether Daimler is willing to accept the approach of the leather bag company, because Daimler is a large group with a small number of shareholders, and such an operation may not be accepted.

But Wen Ming didn't need to argue, he knew that arguing wouldn't solve the problem.

So, he threatened directly.

Without waiting for Elon Mascu to answer, Wen Ming said: "Fortunately, I used 3.5% of Apple's equity to get a $5 billion injection from Mr. Teresa Roy, and because Apple doesn't need much R&D funds, and the profitability is strong, so I'm ready to cash out the $5 billion personally." ”

The news that Teresa Roy and Bill Gates are ready to take a stake in Apple has been spread, but the news that Wen Ming is going to take a stake in Facebook has not yet come out, because Apple is currently his wholly-owned company, and Facebook has many shareholders, in order to prevent Facebook's valuation from increasing after the news comes out, so Mark Zuckerberg will keep it secret for a period of time at Wen Ming's request.

Elon Mascu had already gotten the news before, which was why he took the initiative to find Wen Ming, but he didn't expect that Wen Ming would really use the $5 billion as a bargaining chip to hit him.

Is this what a mature capitalist should do?

Looking at the excessively young face in front of him, Elon Mascu suddenly regretted that he came to Wen Ming today, because he ignored one thing, that is, Wen Ming was very young, and immaturity was what he should be.

Wen Ming didn't care about Elon Mascu's mental activities, and continued: "After I get the $5 billion, I will consider investing in some businesses, Tesla is one of them, of course, Daimler is also one of them. I think that if I can become a shareholder of Daimler, they will be willing to sell their upcoming Tesla stake to me at a premium. ”
