Chapter 169: Won't Live Up to Your Trust

Wen Ming, who returned to Jurassic Island, completely ignored how much shock he had brought to the world.

The Wall Street Times, as Cage once joked, really apologized to Wen Ming.

"We used to think that the founders of Apple had a $10 billion zero-cost valuation, and a lot of people thought that was a hype at the time. However, a month after we published the report, Wen Ming, the founder of Apple, spent two weeks turning a company with a valuation of only $500 million into a company with a valuation of $21 billion. ”

"If the valuation isn't everyone's right to agree with, then who wouldn't agree when Sequoia Capital bought $4.2 billion in the company and only got a 20% stake?"

In this process, Wen Ming only brought $300 million in book funds to Tesla. Other than that, there are no additions to Tesla's fixed assets. Of course, if Wen Ming himself is also a fixed asset, then his fixed asset is equivalent to 20.2 billion US dollars. ”

"We formally apologize for seriously underestimating Wenming's self-worth two weeks ago......"

The Wall Street Journal, the world's most financially savvy media, published a formal opinion piece when Silicon Valley executives began to spread the news that Sequoia Capital had taken a stake in Tesla, and that it had set a record for an investment bank to invest in a company.

The apology in the article is only a small part, and they also released the specific details of this financing, as well as an analysis of the reasons why Tesla was able to obtain such a high Series A financing.

Yes, after Tesla was wholly acquired by Wenming, its first financing before it went public was a Series A financing.

In the history of investment banks in Silicon Valley investing in all walks of life, there has never been a company that has been able to get an investment of $4.2 billion in Series A financing. What's even more incredible is that such a high investment only got 20% of the shares.

Even, there is no management decision-making power, there is no right to cash out first.

The whole of the United States was shaken by this incredible financing case, and this shock began to sweep the world with the hype of the American media.

For Wen Ming, this kind of benefit that can shock the world is not to prove his name as a genius, nor to slap those who once looked down on him in the face, but to make Tesla's name resound all over the world.

"Why, why on earth is that?"

The only people who can let out a hysterical roar at such a time are Elon Mascu and Martin Eberhard.

The two of them founded Tesla, and after nearly a decade of hard work, it was just for Tesla to start mass production of its first car, and then the valuation reached $500 million.

Compared with Wen Ming's wholly-owned acquisition of Tesla for two weeks, Tesla's astonishing valuation, the lives of the two of them can be said to be full of failures.

Martin Eberhard is better, because before Wenming bought Tesla, Tesla actually had nothing to do with him. Elon Mascu is different, because he gave up Tesla entirely because of the capital pressure brought by Wenming.

"That's why you had to buy Tesla wholly?"

SpaceX, the only company that Elon Musku can handle now, naturally wants to stay in this company after he leaves Tesla.

Originally, he was relatively happy during this time, because the launch failure of the three rockets led to the risk of the breakage of the capital chain of SpaceX, which was solved by the cash he got from selling Tesla's shares.

But now it seems that the hundreds of millions of dollars he got are like being thrown in his face by Wen Ming.

"Bang ......"

The computer was smashed, the desk lamp was smashed, the delicate tea set was smashed, and the special red wine glass was smashed......

Elon Mascu threw a lot of things, but that didn't soothe his anger and his remorse.

He now very much hopes that he can go back to two weeks ago and bite that part of Tesla's stake and not let go. Perhaps, after only two weeks, he is now the chairman of a company valued at $21 billion.

What he ignored was that if he was still in control of Tesla, would Wen Ming apply his technology to Tesla's cars?

Of course not.

Wen Ming, who returned to Jurassic Island, didn't care too much about how much impact his trip had on the whole United States. It doesn't matter how many people are preparing funds now, waiting for Tesla to start snapping up Tesla shares after it goes public.

What he cares about most is a bunch of spider eggs.

"Boss, according to your request, we have already started cultivating spider eggs."

In a laboratory on Jurassic Island, Cui Chuanming was reporting the progress of his work to Wen Ming, but he had a lot of puzzles.

"However, I really can't figure out what is the purpose of cultivating this special spider? We haven't even found a way to combine the genes of ordinary spiders and humans, let alone this special spider? According to the breeding requirements you explained, they will have new genetic data, which is completely new to us. ”

"If you want to fuse their genes with human genes to achieve cross-species genetic engineering, it will definitely make it many times more difficult."

Regarding Cui Chuanming's incomprehension, Wen Ming couldn't tell the truth.

Why didn't Spider-Man's dad let the spider bite him in "The Amazing Spider-Man"?

Because the spiders that were bred at that time were not special spiders, but ordinary spiders. Even if that spider bites a human, it will not have any effect on humans. The spider that bit Spider-Man can actually be said to have been bred by Dr. Lizard.

Spider-Man's father fused the spider's DNA with his DNA, forming a spider that only he and his bloodline could fuse with their genes. The spider was left at the Osborne Enterprise, where Dr. Lizard continued to breed.

After nearly 15 years of cultivation, a special spider that can give humans spider abilities by biting people has been formed.

What Wen Ming has to do now is to directly combine these two processes, which can not only shorten the time, but also breed more powerful special spiders.

"There's something wrong with your idea."

Wen Ming pondered for a moment and explained: "The genes of any living thing have evolved over millions of years, or even longer, and are very stable. Just like a diamond, it's hard to break its structure. Therefore, we need to breed organisms that are not genetically stable, just like man-made diamonds, which are different from real natural diamonds in terms of hardness. ”

Cui Chuanming frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, but he still asked a little puzzled: "But why do you have to preside over this kind of cultivation work myself?" To be honest, the technology of the institute is very strong now, and many researchers can do this, and I want to focus more on the cultivation of dinosaurs. ”

"Boss, it's not that I want to be lazy, but to resurrect other kinds of dinosaurs, which can be of great help to the realization of cross-species genetic engineering research."

Wen Ming laughed and said, "Have you forgotten the traitor who appeared in the research institute before? Everyone has their own independent thoughts, their own worldview and way of doing things, you can't ask everyone else to stand on the same side as us, everything is for us. ”

Cui Chuanming opened his mouth, wanting to explain but didn't know how to speak, he and his teacher felt guilty about the traitor time that appeared before, because it was the person they brought after all.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your trust."
