Vol 5 Chapter 20: Why did you forget us?

Feng Yiping still couldn’t help laughing until he got home. No matter what Musk thought, this Tesla really belongs to him now. Moreover, the main characters at the beginning were also there, and the conditions were also at the beginning. It is so good, and there is no reason to do it badly.

"Why are you so shallow?" He rubbed the corners of his mouth that had been cocked.

He is already the richest man in the mainland anyhow, with such a large group under his own name and two companies listed on the Nasdaq. He is also the third largest individual shareholder of Google, the star of the future technology industry. This is just another establishment. It’s just a company, how can you be so happy that you can’t close your mouth?

Wasn’t that happy when you successfully invested in Google?

Of course, this is really different from his investment in Google. He is a good shareholder of Google, but he is not the founder, let alone the chairman who controls absolute equity. When people mention Google, they think of Page and Brin more. Not him Feng Yiping.

Therefore, no matter how he rubbed it, he couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, he is not to blame for his shallowness. I can only say that the sense of accomplishment is different by including Tesla, a very well-known company in the bag.

To make a simple analogy, in reality, many female stars are more beautiful than those in Hollywood, but unknown girls, but conquering a well-known Hollywood female star is more beautiful than getting a girl who is more beautiful than her. More sense of accomplishment-this is how Feng Yiping is now.

"Very smoothly?" Huang Jingping didn't have to look up, just listen to Feng Yiping's footsteps.

"Yes, I can't believe it goes well, and Musk didn't ask for the majority of shares very strongly, haha,"

"I think it may be that they have no confidence in this project," Huang Jingping said, "Anyway, you are the chairman of the automobile company, right? Yiping, I am really happy for you! Also, I will also A customized, one-of-a-kind car,"

"No problem." Feng Yiping hugged her and her daughter. Huang Jingping's words woke him up a little bit. Indeed, the others may not have such confidence in Tesla.

In other words, they have confidence and enthusiasm, but they do not have a clear understanding of Tesla's future.

Yes, except Feng Yiping, including Musk, how can they be sure that Tesla will be successful, and that it is so successful?

Only one concept car was launched, and only the price was announced. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world made crazy bookings, and the deposits were all softened. Which car company can do such a thing? How can they think of it now?

Haha, this is my advantage, Feng Yiping thought happily.

In fact, there are some reasons for this, he still doesn't know.

For example, Musk, why not seek more equity? Because now, although he feels that Tesla will have a lot of difficulties in success, he is still very optimistic, but he is not as optimistic as his SpaceX.

People are complex and multi-faceted, Feng Yiping is no exception, and Musk is no exception.

Although he may have been influenced by so many science fiction novels he read when he was a child, he was born with a willingness to explore space since he was a child, but if he founded SpaceX for his own ideals and for all mankind, it is really one-sided and naive. .

The establishment of SpaceX originated from a crazy idea before Musk. He planned a Mars oasis project in 2001. Simply put, he wanted to send a small experimental greenhouse to Mars and grow crops on Mars.

To this end, in order to reduce costs, he went to Russia twice, trying to purchase refurbished launch vehicles from Russian aerospace companies.

When I went there for the first time in October 2001, he was despised by the Russian Aerospace Department and rocket designers because of his whimsical and lack of relevant expertise.

After he went home, he madly made up this knowledge and went to Russia again in February 2002. This time, he finally stopped talking ridiculous layman. He offered to buy 3 refurbished rockets, but the Russian bid was too high. , Let him leave the meeting angrily.

After spending a lot of time and running twice, there was no gain. Musk, who felt very unhappy, had an idea on the flight back to the United States. Why didn't I make it myself?

He immediately calculated that the raw material cost of the rocket is less than 3% of the quoted price. Through vertical integration and modular methods, he can reduce the rocket launch cost to 10%, which means that as long as he can develop successfully, the industry’s gross The interest rate can be as high as 70% or more!

To put it bluntly, the big reason he founded SpaceX was due to the 70% gross profit margin. If the profit of this industry is meager, then it is estimated that Musk, who had a dream of aerospace since childhood, would not get involved in this industry.

This is the same as the domestic richest man talking about starting a business, saying that it is to help small and medium-sized companies. Objectively, it may really have this effect, but subjectively, it must be for making money. As long as it is a business, in the final analysis, it is for making money. Others, It's just incidental.

A stupid man like Feng Yiping who invests a huge amount of money in Wuliao is not subjectively for making money. It is estimated that there is only one in the world.

So in Musk's view, it is not easy for the two companies to succeed, but can Tesla have such a high gross profit of 70%? Moreover, he is still a major shareholder of SpaceX and enjoys most of the income that the company will bring in the future. In terms of investment, of course he prefers his own company-I believe he will regret it in the future.

In short, no matter what, Feng Yiping got the control of Tesla. In this way, he himself has greater decision-making power on some supporting options and later the establishment of a production plant outside the United States... Anyway It's all good.

…………

At Google, Feng Yiping stood in the hallway, reminding the guy who would bump into him next, "Hey!"

Meyer, wearing a blue sleeveless skirt, looked up from the document in his hand, "Oh, Director Feng, why are you free today?"

This lady!

"Isn't it because I missed you for a few days and missed you very much? I came here to see you specially,"

"Wow," Mayer Lisso closed the folder in his hand and stroked her hair back. "I have time tonight. You said, where shall we go on a date?"

I was molested instead of being ridiculed. In the face of such a sturdy female Han Zhi, Feng Yiping once again retreated gorgeously, "Oh, Peppa, are you looking for me?"

Seeing Feng Yiping, who had become a child's father, fled away with a smirk, Meyer smiled domineeringly and cut, a guy with a guilty heart (this is questionable) and not guilty!

Page is still so busy now that he has a beard and stubble on his face, but now he finally knows that he has the benefits of Schmidt and his team. If it were not for them, he would deal with the pre-IPO Those preparations will take up all of his working time. How can there be time for research and development now?

"Man, you have to pay attention to your body," Feng Yiping followed him into the office and saw a sandwich on the coffee table that had not been finished. "No matter how busy you are, you have to go to the restaurant to have a good meal."

"Well, it's okay, it's just a little bit occasionally,"

"Feng, because Brin and I are very busy, Schmidt is now responsible for the preparatory work for the listing, but, you know, I still hope you can participate,"

It may be because of their own reasons that Page and the others are still not particularly harmonious with Schmidt. Of course, their relationship in the original time and space is not as good as outsiders imagine.

"You have successfully led the two companies to go public, and now they are performing very well ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ has a lot of successful experience, so you have to rely on you for this."

Feng Yiping readily agreed, "No problem,"

The issue of Google’s listing is also closely related to myself, and of course I have to take it seriously.

"How about the development progress?" he asked.

Page shook his hand, "The progress is good, and it is expected to be online by the end of the year at the latest."

"Hehe, then I have reason to believe that next year's fundraising, we will definitely set a record," at least it will be higher than the stock price in Google's history!

"Hey Feng," Brin jumped out from nowhere, and patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder. Feng Yiping took a look, oh, even Brin has a beard. It seems that the two of them have been really hard. "Thank you guys!"

"We really enjoy this kind of work," Brin picked up the sandwich on the coffee table and quarreled. "I heard that you and Musk have established an electric car company called Tesla? So meaningful. Why don’t you call us?"

Page, who was already working in front of the computer, heard this and stopped, "Yeah, I forgot to say, why didn't this matter call us? Oh, when you invested in ACP, you had this plan, right? ,"

"Yes, I also want to make the future world less polluted," Feng Yiping smiled.

He really forgot that the two of them were also very interested in electric cars. It turned out that Tesla launched the first seven Roadster electric cars. Page and Brin were the owners of two of them. Later they were also at Tesla. Huge investment has been made.

"You are too busy, I really forgot, but it doesn't matter. When you wait for the next batch of financing, if you are still interested, you must give priority to your investment."

"Why are you not interested? Of course you are interested! Also, you must remember that we will be the owners of the first batch of cars," (to be continued.)
