After signing some agreements, Wen Ming left Facebook headquarters and then returned to Tesla's headquarters.

Both companies are located in Silicon Valley, which makes Wenming feel very convenient.

"Why do you want to hand over the stake in Facebook to Mark Zuckerberg?"

After Sith returned, he asked with some puzzlement: "In my opinion, or in the eyes of the vast majority of people in this world, you are much more genius than Mark Zuckerberg." And now you own 26.6% of Facebook, plus the Facebook shareholders who are already on the same side as you, and the other shareholders who are no longer able to fight for control of Facebook after being forced to agree to the capital increase deal. I think you'll definitely be able to take control of Facebook. ”

"Even, when Tesla and Apple's earnings can be accounted for in the next stage, you can still ask for another capital increase, and then dilute Mark Zuckerberg's stake as much as possible to achieve the goal of really controlling Facebook."

"I think that Facebook is definitely stronger in your hands than Mark Zuckerberg."

Wen Ming's heart is very dark about the blind confidence of the Sith, but his own people know their own affairs, and his ability to achieve what he has achieved today is directly related to the advanced technology he has mastered.

In fact, looking back at his decision-making and way of doing things over the past year or so, there are still many unsatisfactory points.

The word genius should belong to Mark Zuckerberg.

"My energy is limited, and it would take an unimaginable amount of effort to grow a social networking site like Facebook with the goal of having 2 billion global users."

Wen Ming explained: "It's impossible for me to give up on Apple and Tesla and focus on Facebook. In that case, why not hand over Facebook to his founder, Mark Zuckerberg, who can take off with Facebook? ”

In Wen Ming's mind, Facebook's 26.6% stake is completely sufficient, which means that he will be worth $133 billion in six years. And that's just one of Facebook's investments.

But he doesn't want to interfere too much in Facebook's development strategy, if because of his interference, Mark Zuckerberg has an opinion, resulting in the development of Facebook is not as good as the development of Facebook in another world, it will be more than worth the loss.

Sith laughed and said, "I thought you could do anything." ”

Wen Ming also smiled and said, "Even God is not omnipotent, how can I be omnipotent?" ”

While talking, the two had already entered Tesla's headquarters, and Cage, who was waiting here, inquired curiously.

"In other words, you spent $10.05 billion on this trip?"

Cage was dumbfounded after listening to it, even if it is a fraction of $50 million of this money, it is money that most people in the world cannot earn in their lifetime, not to mention that there is a $10 billion in front?

Sith corrected: "Not only that, because we have to work with Microsoft and Li Jiacheng's investment fund to determine how much money they want to invest in Apple." What they got was not only a share swap, but also the opportunity to take a stake in Apple. ”

"However, even if the amount of their stake has not yet been determined, the $1 billion in Facebook shares they own is already equivalent to being spent by us."

Cage took a deep breath and said, "In less than a day of going out, you spent $11 billion, and if Wen Ming's name is not on this year's list of the world's richest people, I will definitely talk to their boss." ”

Cage is joking, of course, because every year there is more than one media outlet that publishes the list of the world's richest people, the most famous ones are Fortune magazine and Forbes magazine. Compared with other media, the list of the world's richest people published by these two magazines, as well as the list of the world's top 500 companies, etc., are much more credible.

But even an authoritative magazine like "Fortune" is not easy to calculate Wen Ming's current worth.

For example, when he bought the Facebook shares in the hands of Saverin and others, he gave a valuation of $50 billion, but later when he increased the capital of Facebook, the valuation given was only $40 billion.

Based on the 26.6% of Facebook shares he now owns, the difference between the two valuations is a $2.66 billion worth difference.

In this case, it is impossible to accurately calculate his true worth.

"I don't really want to be on the list of the world's richest people."

Wen Ming laughed and said: "What I hope most is that these companies can develop well." ”

So far, there are not many industries under Wen Ming's name, only Jurassic Island, Apple, and Tesla, after owning so many shares of Facebook, he can also say that Facebook is his industry.

Cage said, "Anyone can own one of these properties under your name, which is enough to be proud of." ”

After discussing some follow-up work after the capital increase on Facebook, Cage talked about the dilemma Tesla is currently facing.

"Boss, now our Tesla's production capacity has been affected."

When Cage talked about this topic, his expression was very serious.

"When we signed contracts with those parts suppliers before, the delivery date of the parts fluctuated to a certain extent, and the floating cycle was about three days. Now, however, those suppliers are always stuck on deadlines when supplying us. As a result, our capacity was reduced by more than three days. ”

Building a car doesn't take place in a day, and in Tesla's modern car manufacturing plant, the molding of a car is just a step through the production line.

But the premise of this is that all the parts are complete.

If one component is missing, the production of the entire vehicle will be affected.

"Our engineers suggested that we start by using the production line as much as possible," Cage said. The missing parts will be assembled manually by engineers and technicians after the vehicle has been roughly formed. ”

Wen Ming frowned and asked, "If you assemble it manually, will it affect the quality of the vehicle?" ”

Cage shook his head and said, "It won't matter, it's like our car breaks down and sends it to the repair shop for repair, they only need to replace those broken parts, and the car can be used as before." However, by doing so, our production speed will be reduced. ”

Of course, the speed of labor is not comparable to the production line, otherwise, the so-called hand-made Rolls-Royce would not be so expensive.

Wen Ming asked, "Is the risk assessment report out?" ”

When Cage heard this question, he took out a report from his desk, handed it to Wen Ming, and said, "Because we stopped selling 20,000 Model-S for all dollars." Therefore, our previously estimated production capacity can fully meet the supply this time. ”

"But now, due to the delay of the parts suppliers, even if we use manual assembly, at least 1,000 Model-S will not be delivered on time."

Wen Ming took a cursory look at the risk assessment report, and felt a little relieved, only 1,000 vehicles could not be delivered on time, and the risk was not enough.

You know, in addition to the 20,000 units sold in full in two days, Tesla also needs to deliver 19,000 of the 25,000 Model-S it previously ordered within this delivery cycle.

In total, 39,000 taels of Model-S need to be delivered within the cycle.

Cage continued: "There are now two ways to solve this problem. ”

"The first way is to take advantage of the first users who ordered Model-S, because they are not satisfied with our marketing strategy this time, so that they will voluntarily refund their deposits. In this way, as long as 1,000 people have refunded their deposits, we will be able to survive this crisis unharmed. ”

"The second option is to develop a compensation strategy and then select 1,000 of all our existing customers to communicate in advance. If they were willing to accept our compensation agreement and extend the lead time by one week, we would have been able to weather this crisis unscathed. ”

"Boss, which approach should we take?"
