Chapter 153: Do You Have a Pen? (5/6 subscriptions)

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

……

……

If a company wants to develop, it must be financed, and almost no company can develop wholly to the time of listing.

In the process of financing, it will face the fate of being swallowed up by capital.

In the past, the founders of well-known high-capitalization companies, such as Microsoft, Google, etc., only occupy a small part of the company's equity. This kind of sacrifice is because of the devouring of capital.

Of course, there is also the main reason that even their founders don't know how far their business can go until it is truly successful.

Just like Elon Mascu, he has very high expectations for Tesla, and he believes that Tesla will become the most valuable company in the world in the future. But this kind of thinking is actually just a dream, just like parents think that their children are the best.

At a time when Tesla is facing such a predicament, Elon Musku really doesn't have much confidence in Tesla.

But he was unwilling to give up, because he put too much effort into Tesla, and even drove out Martin Aberhard, which made his life stained.

However, now, he has reached the point where he has to give up, and Wen Ming's chips are unimaginably rich. Just like fighting the landlord, Wen Ming has four 2, four A, four K, and three Q.

Although he is the landlord and has the power to go first, he can't throw all his cards at once.

Wen Ming's 5 billion is the king bomb, as long as Elon Mascu plays a card, then, Wen Ming can directly fry the king, and then blow up three times to win.

At the end of the day, he's just going to lose everything.

Even under the leadership of Wen Ming, Tesla has achieved an infinitely bright future, but under Wen Ming's four bombs, the multiplier of this game has multiplied many times. And the 67% of Tesla shares he owns will be diluted to a very pitiful level.

67% of the $500 million is worth $335 million, and if Wen Ming successfully injects $5 billion into Tesla, then his stake will be diluted to 5%.

Tesla, which has $5 billion, will not need to be listed for a long time, and if it cannot be listed, Elon Mascu's shares will always be just shares.

Even if Elon Musku wants to pay dividends, it will only pay dividends when Tesla starts making profits. Elon Musku, who has been at the helm of Tesla for many years, knows very well that many technical problems of new energy vehicles are difficult to solve, and the cost of mass production models is also very high, and the sales volume will be very unsatisfactory because of the high price.

In addition, Tesla also needs to set up charging stations in many places for their electric car users, which is another very large investment.

In fact, Elon Musku has prepared for Tesla to lose money even after going public.

In this case, his money is equivalent to being pressed on Tesla for a long time, and there is no way to make any turnover.

In case Tesla goes out of business, then, he will lose completely.

Of course, Elon Mascu can also bet with Wen Ming, betting that Wen Ming will not dare to invest so much money in Tesla. But when Space Exploration is also facing a very big predicament, is Elon Mascu qualified to bet with Wen Ming?

Wen Ming can earn $3 billion a quarter, and he can afford to lose, while Elon Mascu can't afford it.

"Why did it take us eight weeks to modify that Mercedes Smart? Why, did the people of Daimler AG agree to buy 10% of the company's shares for $50 million yesterday? Why, Martin Aberhard, they sold their shares to Wen Ming so quickly? ”

When Martin Aberhard told him to see who was fast, he didn't care. Because he simply didn't believe that Martin Aberhard would sell Tesla's shares so easily.

What he didn't expect was that the arrogance that Wen Ming showed in front of him today had also been shown in front of Martin Aberhard. Fearing that Wenming's investment in other electric car companies would lower Tesla's valuation, Martin Aberhard agreed to sell his stake in an instant.

Of course, there are also his reasons, if it weren't for the fact that he persecuted Martin Aberhard too hard, he would not have faced such a difficult situation.

Daimler's capital injection, and Martin Aberhard's sequential sale of shares, directly led to his passivity.

Taking a deep breath, Elon Mascu calmed down and then asked, "Why do you have to buy Tesla entirely?" Actually, the technology we have isn't worth it. ”

Because when Wen Ming bought Martin Aberhard's shares, he chose a premium of 30%, and when he threatened Elon Mascu, he also said that he would buy 10% of Tesla's shares in Daimler's hands at a premium.

After that, Wen Ming, who owns 47% of Tesla's shares, will invest a huge amount of money when diluting Elon Mascu's stake through a capital increase, even exceeding Tesla's current valuation of $500 million.

The cost is enormous, and Elon Mascu wants to figure it out before making a decision. Whether Wen Ming answers or not is Wen Ming's business, but whether to ask or not is his business.

By this time, Wen Ming was already in control, so he chose to answer Elon Mascu's question.

"Because I want to change the world, in addition to mobile phones and dinosaurs, I think the current gasoline car should also be changed. Tesla was chosen only because the Roadster, which you launched last year, is the world's first mass-produced all-electric roadster. ”

"I like to be the first person, and since this first has been taken by you, then I want to buy you over."

Wen Ming's voice was very sincere, however, what he said was a lie.

The world's first mass-produced pure electric roadster has little to do with his acquisition of Tesla, just because Tesla is cheap and has a production line that can mass-produce pure electric vehicles.

The first mass-produced electric car was the EV-1 launched by General Motors in 1991, but it was abandoned after more than 2,000 units were produced because it had a range of only 140 kilometers.

It's 2010 now, and even if GM still retains the production line at that time, Wenming won't buy it.

Elon Mascu sighed, heartfelt emotion.

"I really envy people like you who are young, rich, and able to keep making money."

Elon Mascu, who is only 39 years old, is definitely a young man among billionaires in the world. But for Bi Wenming, a real young man who has just entered his 20s, he is already old.

Therefore, no matter whether the reason Wen Ming said was true or false, he had to make a decision.

"I am willing to sell all the shares I hold in Tesla, but I want you to buy it at a premium of 50%, because from now on, Tesla is completely yours, including all of Tesla's production lines, employees, and technology patents."

At that moment, Elon Mascu also wanted to retain a part of Tesla's equity, but only gave up most of the shares and the highest decision-making power. But in an instant he figured it out, what's the use of keeping some of it?

With Wen Ming's desire to control just now, he will definitely increase his capital and dilute his shares to a pitiful level.

Rather than this, it is better to directly use it as a bargaining chip for Wenming to acquire at a premium.

Moreover, Elon Musku believes that after he leaves Tesla, Tesla will only face the risk of going out of business. Because even the scientific research team led by him has no way to solve some technical problems, how can Wen Ming, a genius who does not understand physics and electricity, solve them?

Even if Wen Ming has the money to recruit scientific researchers, he must have time to study it, as far as he knows, because countries have successively promulgated the time plan of 'banning the sale of fuel vehicles', almost all powerful car manufacturers have begun to study electric vehicles.

Can Tesla really break through and be reborn in the face of those powerful automakers?

Wen Ming didn't know that Elon Mascu had announced Tesla's death sentence in his heart, and he had a great sense of accomplishment for being able to threaten Elon Mascu to sell Tesla.

It's not in vain that I'm pretending to be so arrogant today.

While Wen Ming felt in his heart, he was also wondering, would this kind of arrogance become his character?

"If you're willing to sign a contract now, I can pay a 50 percent premium, and one day later, I'll lower the premium by 5 percent, so, Mr. Muscu, do you have a pen?"
