Chapter 482: A name is worth $20 billion

Watching Able hang up the satellite phone.

Santa Barbara, Corona del Mar San Mateo Road 1.

In the living room, Ted Lerner couldn't help but speak:

"Dear Abel, Warren Buffett just agreed?"

Able shrugged at him and threw the satellite phone to Edward next to him.

This is Abel's private number mobile phone.

The only people who could get in were a few business allies, as well as his relatives and women.

It was usually kept by David or Edward.

Abel walked up to Paris, didn't shy away from Yin Kana's father at all, and sat down and hugged Princess Hilton with a big belly.

"It's not like you didn't hear me. $2 billion, 10% stake. Haha, strictly speaking. I've made $1.7 billion now. This company, Tesla Inc., is now valued at at least $20 billion. ”

Holding Paris, who became more plump after being pregnant, Abel chuckled and said.

Paris was still a little embarrassed.

Because when she first approached Yin Kana, she was already familiar with the Lerner family.

At that time, Yin Kana was already Abel's girlfriend, although it was only one of them.

Now in front of Ted, he is being held like this by Abel.

She always had a sense of embarrassment in front of Abel's father, the real wife.

Even if she actually knows, Yin Kana is actually not a real brand, but the same character as her.

It's just that Yin Kana is more favored and has a higher status in Abel's heart.

Ted didn't seem to see his son-in-law hugging the other women at all.

The real estate businessman said with great interest:

"Wow, that's amazing! 300 million US dollars, which has become a market value of 20 billion in two years, is also recognized by Buffett. This is the kind of thing that only you can do! ”

Comparing hearts to hearts, Ted Lerner thought about the events of previous years.

At that time, he was behind the scenes, and his daughter Yin Kana was in the foreground.

With the support of him and the Lerner Group, he promoted the development of the entrepreneurial "Miss Yoona" clothing brand.

That is, what happened to Yin Kana's current "YKM" costume.

YKM clothing was very successful at first, and within a few years, it also gained a market value of nearly $2 billion.

This makes Yin Kana, in the younger generation of wealthy families in New York and even in the United States, get a sense of dΓ©jΓ  vu similar to "someone else's child".

But what about the actual situation?

Later, because of Ted Lerner's own company, it encountered cash flow problems.

He had to keep losing his support for YKM, and even recouped his investment, in order to avoid another bankruptcy of the Lerner Group.

As a result, YKM, which was originally worth $2 billion, could not even hold up a market value of $1 billion when it conducted the second round of financing.

If it weren't for the fact that Abel was born at that time, and Yin Kana was also decisive.

Resolutely sell yourself to the ......

Then Abel stepped in and took over the shares of those shareholders.

Now it's a question of whether there is YKM or not......

And in YKM back then, Ted Lerner invested hundreds of millions of dollars in real money to support it.

As a result, it took a lot of time to get it for a few years, and the market value was $2 billion at its peak.

It ended in embarrassment, didn't make any money, and lost tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now compared with the Tesla that Abel did, Ted Lerner's emotion in his heart can be imagined.

You must know that the market value of $20 billion recognized by Warren Buffett will already be recognized by more than 70% of investors in the market.

Add another Abel Smith and that's 100% of investors will recognize.

Unlike the original YKM, it sounds good to say, with a market capitalization of $2 billion.

If you really want people to come up with money to invest, except for the gang of wronged bosses at the beginning, there are no new fools willing to enter the market at all!

looked at Ted's envious look, and the little look of adoration on Paris beside him.

Abel thought for a moment, and suddenly said softly:

"So, Ted. Do you have any interest in Tesla? ”

"Huh?" D. Ted Lerner was stunned.

"Are you interested in participating in the first round of funding? I can give you a share of up to 2%, but it must be guaranteed to be your own investment. ”

Abercon is authentic.

Ted Lerner is also a well-known businessman in New York, no matter what he says.

Now because it will be hyped, add your own reasons.

Compared with parallel time and space, he is more famous and richer.

If Yin Kana, her father, joins in, from the side, it will be of some help to Tesla's marketing.

plus Yin Kana, the reason why she just gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for Abel.

Loving the house and Wu, Abel decides to pull her dad by the hand.

Anyway, this is one of the killer features in Abel's heart and the future.

In case you really want to use it in the future, the current concession is also an emotional investment.

"Of course I am."

Ted Lerner immediately said excitedly.

He was so interested.

Not to mention Abel's approval.

Even Buffett's approval is enough for him to smash the pot and sell iron to join.

This kind of project that Buffett is optimistic about, Ted Lerner has never encountered once in his life before.

Most of the projects he can invest in are Wall Street pit projects.

Most of the good projects that can make money are also mostly not his turn.

"Isn't 2% too little? In fact, with my strength, I can win at least 5%, maybe 10% is no problem! ”

Don't talk about whether you have this strength first, the most important thing is to win it first!

Daddy Yin Kana's idea is simple, and that is to seize this opportunity.

There are names of Abel and Warren Buffett.

These Tesla shares, Ted Lerner has 100 ways to monetize them!

As long as the operation is done well, he can even hold these shares without spending much money at all.

The reason is very simple, Abel Smith and Warren Buffett are two names together for the project, and the whole Wall Street is willing to give him money.

"Nope." Abel looked at the greedy Daddy Yin Kana and shook his head with a chuckle:

"I need to set aside a lot of shares for others. 2% is already the maximum. ”

Hearing Abel say this, Ted Lerner had a painful look of regret on his face.

This is an opportunity for him to directly empty the white wolf and make a lot of money.

And Abel looked down at Paris in his arms, with a somewhat hesitant expression.

He smiled and pinched her pretty cheeks, which had been much rounder since she was pregnant with her own child.

"Certainly not forgetting dear Barron. There is also a 2% share, which will be left to the Hilton family. As long as your father and grandfather are interested. ”

"Hornβ€”"

Paris reacted by getting up directly and kissing Abel the face.

Her pretty face and eyebrows fluttered:

"Oh, of course they'll be interested. I'm sure if they knew by now, they'd even fly right from New York! ”

Isn't this the most important reason why she is willing to change her personality and give birth to Abel?

Compared to this, what bullshit free love, then it's really just stinky bullshit!

Damn Hilton, good luck Barron, but I'm not bad either, and my daughter is even more favored!

Looking at this scene, Ted Lerner smiled on the surface, but thought so in his heart.

Abel chuckled and hugged Paris so that she wouldn't get too excited and hurt the child in her belly.

The Hilton family is not bad in New York, and is more famous around the world than Ted Lerner.

Letting the Hilton family enter can also increase Tesla's fame.

Not to mention compared with controlling lithium mines, or the entire industrial chain.

Tesla cars are actually not worth much, it is just a brand made by Abel, a bait.

It is used to attract everyone to the field and help him promote the introduction of the track of new energy vehicles.

So of course, the more people who end up the better, anyway, he will have absolute control from beginning to end.

What's more, doing so can also strengthen Abel's binding on the Hilton family and the Lerner family.

The deeper the interests are involved, the more Yin Kana and Paris can't leave themselves.

The family behind them will eventually be completely dyed with Smith's color.

Taking another 10,000 steps back, 2% of Tesla's shares are calculated based on the current market value of $20 billion.

The two of them also have to pay $400 million each to get these shares.

Abel's total investment is only about 300 million US dollars.

4% of $300 million in exchange for $800 million.

From a mathematical point of view, this is a good earning.

And now, he's willing to take those shares. In exchange for Ted Lerner's excited smile that was about to crack his ear, and Paris was more gentle and submissive.

This kind of thing that makes a lot of money in all aspects, of course, Abel can't refuse.

For the sake of the names Abel Smith and Warren Buffett.

Hilton and Lerner were also unlikely to refuse.

Following.

The popularity of the "Smith sports car incident" has not gone down.

Someone else added a new fire to this news.

At noon, Charlie Munger, vice chairman and CEO of Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway.

This big man in the American financial world, Buffett's left arm and right arm, the best partner.

In an interview with AMC Bloomberg:

"Both I and Warren are very optimistic about a new company called Tesla. Through Warren's efforts, Berkshire Hathaway successfully acquired a 10% stake in Tesla for $2 billion. Personally, I believe that this is definitely one of the most successful investments Berkshire Hathaway has ever made!

”

After the news was reported.

Warren Buffett is in!

This is the first thought of the whole of Wall Street.

Originally, there was some hesitation, but the Wall Street giants had not yet started to act.

They went into action almost immediately.

They all realized that in the case of Abel Smith and Warren Buffett standing on the platform at the same time.

Even if this Tesla company, it develops and operates a lump of defense.

That was before Abel and Buffett were not dispelled.

Even if its product is a defense, it is a golden defense!

There are countless investors around the world who will wave their checks and give them to Tesla, hoping to grab these defenses!

The reality is that as long as a person can continue to be successful, then he is the voice of success.

Warren Buffett is like that, and so is Smith, who has an even crazier record.

Don't wait until the third day.

Ted Lerner was thrilled to find out.

The 2% stake he could get for only $400 million has easily doubled in value.

As of the evening of May 3, any report about Tesla in the United States believed that it was worth at least $40 billion.

This evening.

South Pasadena, California.

Slade Wilson put down the Los Angeles Times.

The news headline folded up above is impressively - "Tesla! The future of technology giants is emerging! 》

In front of his son, John Wilson, Slade shook his head slightly.

"It's crazy. A company with less than 300 people and a total investment of more than $300 million, which is completely loss-making until now, should not be able to see a profitable company for a long time in the future, but there are so many people who want to send money to it. ”

John Wilson, who looked very similar to Slater Wilson, chuckled and replied to his father:

"Of the $40 billion valuation, $20 billion comes from Smith and $20 billion comes from Warren Buffett. Wall Street thinks these two names are worth so much money, then it's worth so much money. Father, many times this is the case. ”

Slater Wilson nodded slightly.

He is also an old conglomerate, and of course he knows what the essence of finance is.

The essence of finance is confidence.

Investors believe in Abel Smith and Warren Buffett.

That Tesla, it's worth so much money right now.

One day, when Buffett or Abel waits, they lose this confidence that investors believe.

Then Tesla began to depreciate.

One day, Tesla has not grown up, and these two people will withdraw their investment.

Then Tesla is worthless.

"Don't talk about that." Slade Wilson looked at his son.

This son, he is not very satisfied.

He didn't think John was strong enough.

But Shreed has two children.

Kayla is still a daughter, and her abilities are also average.

That being the case, there is certainly no doubt about who the heir is for the patriarchal group.

But Kayla's ability is not good, but her ambition is not much worse than that of her brother.

On the surface, it looks like a jasmine flower, and its ability is the most ordinary impatiens in the United States, but it wants to be a man-eating man-eating flower......

With only two children, Slater Wilson knows very well the character and abilities of his children.

He looked at John Wilson, "Your sister is dating Abel Smith right now." John, what do you think? ”

"I won't allow her to succeed. Because father, you have a fancy for me. But I won't hurt her either, because she's my sister. ”

John Wilson said without hesitation.

John knew that this kind of answer was what his father liked to hear the most.

Sure enough, Slater Wilson nodded with satisfaction:

"Let her toss it. Your sister won't die without seeing complete failure. That's how her character is. ”

Slater Wilson relieved his son, "You are a brother, you have to be considerate of your sister." And you are destined to be my heir, and it is normal for her to do so. ”

Again, John expressed understanding.

Seeing the tired expression on his father's face again, John immediately sent him to rest inside.

After Slid fell asleep, John left gently.

One walked out of his father's bedroom.

John Wilson, who had a filial expression just now, showed a ruthless expression on his face.

"Whew-"

He took a deep breath, "Kayla Wilson...... Hehehe...... Younger sister...... Hehe......"

The night is cold and cold, and the night in Los Angeles in May is somewhat cool.

Shaking his head, John Wilson reverted to his normal expression and walked away quickly.

Meanwhile, at 8500 Beverly Avenue in Los Angeles, some distance from South Pasadena.

In a restaurant called Adbed.

John Wilson's sister and Abel Smith, the founder of Tesla, who has been in the news all over the United States for the past two days, are having dinner together.

"Oh, this devil egg has a bad name. It's surprisingly good to eat. ”

Under the bright light, Kayla Wilson, who was dressed very beautifully, elegantly cut a dish made of eggs, and said with a smile.

Today's Kayla is wearing a Dior white T-shirt on her upper body, with two decorative cuts on her V-neck chest, revealing a clear collarbone and white skin, faintly charming. Confused.

Her next. The body is a pair of black slacks with a rare design of Hugoboss, and a silver-white buckle chain hangs down the right side, flashing treacherous.. The light of confusion.

With her standard blonde hair and blue eyes, the looks and figure of a beautiful American girl are attractive to any man.

"The taste is really good, very attractive."

Abel also smiled and agreed.

Even when he was talking, his eyes were not fixed on the dishes on the plate at all.

Instead, he kept staring at Kayla.

It looked like Kayla was the dish on his plate tonight.

For Abel's eyes, Kayla, who has no other thoughts, is naturally secretly happy.

She pretended not to notice his very direct gaze, and continued to discuss the food in front of her with Abel.

"It's one of the few opportunities I've had to try Southern cuisine. After tasting it, I realized that the food in the south is also very attractive. It's really good. ”

Her tone sounded very simple, and people with complex minds would definitely feel that there was something in her words when they heard it.

At first glance, she was complimenting the restaurant on how delicious it was, or how delicious it was across the American South.

Thinking about it crookedly, it seems to be saying that the American Southerners attracted her.

And just across from her, there was a Southerner.

Able smiled and nodded cooperatively.

"The restaurant is nice and the flavor is good for promotion. Maybe I can buy it? ”

This Adbed restaurant currently has a total of four chains in the United States, namely Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, and Miami.

Here in Los Angeles, the environment and service of the restaurant are good.

It serves Southern cuisine, best known for its fried chicken waffles and devil's eggs.

The latter is certainly not an egg laid by a real demon, and this is not fantasy.

It's just an egg salad with egg yolks mixed with mashed potatoes and a variety of ingredients in egg whites, topped with caviar.

The taste is very special, and you can slowly taste it to many layers after you eat it.

After Abel tasted it, the Southerner gene in his body said that he liked it very much, so he had the idea of buying the restaurant and expanding the business in the United States.

It's a bit like Batman in DC, who bought all the banks in Kansas in order to pay off the house loan for Superman.

Hearing Abel's words, Kayla was stunned.

She wasn't surprised by Abel's wealth.

It's that she thinks that Abel when she talks like this is too much like her father.

That kind of carelessness, as if everything around him is as long as he wants.

Whether it is a giant enterprise or a small roadside supermarket, his attitude of being able to acquire and annex can be said to be too similar.

She knows that that is a typical business giant, the mentality that only the elders of the consortium can have.

Even if she comes from a wealthy family, she doesn't have it yet.

Even her brother, who was raised as an heir, doesn't have it yet.

Because John Wilson is not a giant yet, he is just a representative of Slader Wilson.

When I thought of my brother in the future, he would grow up to be like Abel.

And since childhood, he has been loved by his father even more.

Just because she is a woman, her greatest possibility in the future is to accept the fate of marriage.

marrying into another wealthy family of the same level will most likely become a fertility machine.

Yang Impatiens, who dreamed of acting as a man-eating flower, thought of this possibility.

She looked at Abel again, and a pure smile like a jasmine bloomed on her face:

"Oh, who's to say no? I think that's a good idea, but how exactly should it be done? I don't know. ”

"I just know how to do it. I'll get everything in order, and you won't be disappointed. ”

When Abel heard this, he said to her with a smile.
