Chapter 1438 Electric Vehicles Can Be Engaged

Li Mu expected that this private sale would be very popular, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.

Chen Ze has been paying attention to the subscription status of members in the background. In two hours, the subscription has exceeded the upper limit of 5 billion.

Following the logic of Li Mu's data analysis, Chen Ze also began to make a general analysis of the subscription data for the past two hours.

First of all, a total of 133 members successfully subscribed for the subscription of 5 billion, and the per capita subscription amount was 37.6 million;

Secondly, there are currently 1,089 full members of CSC clubs in mainland China and even in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The number of members who have logged in at the same time is 897, and 874 of them log in after the text message is sent. That is to say, at least 874 people saw the details of this private equity fund;

Then, from the temporary data, it can be confirmed that the conversion rate of the fund among members is about 15%. However, due to the quota limit for subscription, the remaining 85% are not interested, or they want to buy but start late. Waiting for the follow-up data feedback.

The follow-up data is the behavior statistics of other users' subscriptions

The background shows that the number of people sending purchase applications is still increasing. Although they click on the application, a prompt will pop up telling them that the current 5 billion yuan has been snapped up, but their application data will still be recorded in the background.

Within half an hour of the end of the subscription, 532 people submitted their subscription applications normally because they did not know the end of the subscription. The total subscription amount of these 532 people was 21.8 billion yuan! The per capita subscription amount is 40.98 million;

However, the subscription boom for members is not over yet.

An hour later, another 155 people subscribed, with a total subscription of 9.3 billion yuan, and the per capita subscription amount exceeded 60 million!

The more you go on, the higher the subscription amount per person. Chen Ze didn't understand why at first. After communicating with Li Mu, Li Mu quickly guessed the key and said to him, "Everyone received the news at the same time. Yes, the more time delays, the more likely it is that people spend more time confirming the source of funds, so the more funds that can be confirmed.”

Chen Ze thought about it and said, "It makes sense."

Li Mu said: "What you can take out immediately is what you own. If you give you an hour, you may be able to clear the relationship between all parties and take out more."

Chen Ze said: "Since this is the case, why do we have to do batches? It's not enough to open up the subscription for 22 billion in one go. In that case, we estimate that we are done now."

Li Mu said with a smile: "The purpose of panic buying is to engage in hunger marketing. The more they play like this, the more they cherish the opportunities we gave them, not only this opportunity, but also future opportunities. This time we raised two hundred dollars in China. Billion, next time we may raise more overseas, to make them hungry for our products of the same type, we will take more initiative in the future, you can chat more with Lei Jun from Taobao when you have time, he may I'll give you a more detailed explanation."

Chen Ze said, "I understand the meaning."

Li Mu snorted and said again: "Since everyone's enthusiasm is so high, we will temporarily adjust the strategy. In the next few subscriptions, after the subscription, the subscriber must first pay a 10% deposit, and then within ten days. Pay all the funds to the account. If there is a shortage of funds received after ten days, the liquidated damages will be deducted by 5% of the shortfall amount; if the actual payment amount is less than 50% of the subscription amount, his future participation in the CSC club will be permanently cancelled. Any form of capital Qualifications to operate.”

Li Mu doesn't trust the purchase intention very much. All things related to money, the intention is not reliable. Only money is reliable. Even if your parents promise to pay you living expenses today, it may be postponed until tomorrow because of something. The flow of large sums of money.

What's more, these are a bunch of masters who borrow chickens to lay eggs, and like to use other people's money to make money for themselves, so the funds behind their subscription intentions are likely to come from promises that are not under his control.

For example, Zhang San subscribed for 100 million yuan today, and he is confident that he can find a low-interest source of funds, and then take this opportunity to make millions in vain, but when the time comes to pay for the subscription, his source of funds may be various. Problem, any problem may cause him to not be able to come up with so much money at that time. At that time, there will be more people temporarily releasing pigeons, and his own affairs will be affected.

Therefore, Li Mu discussed with Chen Ze, and simply added another pool for pre-purchasing, which was allocated in a ratio of 1:1 to the amount that can be purchased. For example, this time 5 billion has been fully subscribed, and another 5 billion can be absorbed to become a reserve. If someone in the front-end subscription group fails to subscribe, it will be replaced by the people in the reserve, and so on;

Chen Ze agrees with this series of detailed plans. After all, their first goal is to raise 2.5 billion US dollars in RMB. As for who paid the money, it doesn’t matter, so they must ensure that the first goal is achieved. core.

Private equity funds and subsequent fundraising, Li Mu entrusted Chen Zelai with full responsibility. He no longer pays attention to how this matter is progressing. He just wants to wait for Chen Ze to tell himself in the near future that all the money has been received. .

...

Until the acquisition intention was negotiated with Apple, Li Mu did not meet directly with Apple's people.

Tim Cook wanted to meet Li Mu very much, but the highest representative of Makino Technology in the acquisition of Apple was Lin Qingya. He and Apple executives felt that Li Mu himself did not attach importance to Apple, let alone the acquisition of Apple. , so he is not willing to personally participate in this matter.

This gave Apple executives a lot of frustration.

The company is ready to sell, and the big boss of the buyer is too lazy to meet and chat with the company's executives.

In fact, Li Mu himself really wanted to meet Tim Cook to see how sophisticated this person is in controlling the market now. If possible, it would be better to digest him as one of his own generals in advance. thing.

However, in order not to affect the acquisition, Li Mu still insisted on the principle of not seeing each other, so that all Apple executives continued to misunderstand that they were not so interested in Apple.

This move is not to pretend to be coercive, but to avoid any changes before the actual acquisition. The more indifferent the attitude, the more unconfident Apple will make them worry that they may give up the acquisition at any time. They must cooperate as soon as possible to speed up the acquisition; on the contrary, if they keep chasing Apple, it will make Apple feel that it is a rare commodity, and maybe they will make some monsters with themselves.

Li Mu has even decided to fly to Harvard early tomorrow morning to meet Mark Zuckerberg, and then bring Su Yingxue to Silicon Valley, waiting for when Apple signs a contract and when to meet with Apple people.

At the critical moment of the acquisition of Apple, Li Mu suddenly wanted to leave, which put a lot of pressure on Lin Qingya. Although she was already the vice president of Muye Technology, an acquisition with a market value of 3 billion US dollars was the first time ever for her. once.

Not only her, Li Mu has never played such a big game.

Fortunately, Li Mu has already formulated most of the key points. As long as Lin Qingya moves forward according to Li Mu's requirements and rhythm, there will be basically no major deviations.

Before leaving, Elon Musk suddenly called Li Mu and said he wanted to ask Li Mu if he had time recently. He wanted to report to Li Mu carefully about the geek project that used 18650 battery packs to develop new energy vehicles. .

Li Mu said to him directly: "Well, you pack up, go to Cambridge with me tomorrow, and we can chat slowly on the plane."

Elon Musk was stunned for a while, and then said: "Okay, I'll arrange work and run with you tomorrow."

Li Mu said, "I'll ask Ziwei to tell you the take-off time later."

...

On the way the business jet flew to Massachusetts, Elon Musk sat opposite Li Mu, filled a small conference table with a lot of materials, and said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, I am working on that electric vehicle research project. After a due diligence, in general, I am very optimistic about their project and feel that it can be seriously pursued.”

Li Mu asked him, "What exactly makes you so optimistic?"

"It's mostly the mindset, and the technical feasibility," Elon Musk said.

Speaking, Elon Musk also introduced: "Electric drive has many advantages, environmental protection is one aspect, cheapness is another aspect, and more importantly, electric vehicles can easily achieve breakthroughs in performance, and if lead is used Acid batteries, with low energy density and heavy battery weight, will have a great loss in battery life, power and battery life, and this team has taken a different approach. They use 18650 lithium batteries to make battery packs, which have high energy density, light weight and longer lifespan. Lead-acid batteries are at least three or five times higher, so under this technical condition, the battery life, weight, power and battery attenuation of electric vehicles will be greatly improved."

Li Mu asked him, "How far can a car be built with this technology on a full charge of electricity?"

Elon Musk said: "They have now done experiments on the frame car. If the battery pack is denser, the cruising range of 300 miles is not a problem."

"What about charging?" Li Mu asked, "How long does it take to fully charge such a car?"

Elon Musk said: "If the current of the charging device is large enough, it can be fully charged in six to eight hours, such a car will be very suitable for the middle class, and the battery life will be enough to handle his daytime driving needs."

Li Mu nodded. It seems that Tesla's own battery technology has a certain foundation now. In this case, if enough investment is given, the project will have the ability to start quickly.

However, Tesla's biggest problem in the past life was the production capacity limit, so Li Mu asked Elon Musk: "If we invest in this team, how will the production process be solved?"

Elon Musk said immediately: "We're going to build a new production line."

Li Mu waved his hand: "The team you mentioned is, at best, a theoretician in the automotive industry. They have already built a very large booth by studying batteries, battery management, charge and discharge control, motor drive, and braking energy recovery. How can you do it by building a production line yourself?"

Elon Musk said: "That's it, Mr. Li, if we invest in this project, we must first complete all the research and development work you just mentioned, and then build a prototype car. My idea is that after the prototype car is built, We can pre-sell in Silicon Valley first, so we can absorb a batch of orders and funds, and then we start to build a medium-to-large production line to accelerate our production work.”

Li Mu said helplessly: "Elon, what's the age? Who else wants to start a business? If you want to open a western restaurant, you don't need to raise your own cattle, cooperate with a cattle farm, or simply buy a cattle farm. That's the best solution."

After speaking, Li Mu added: "If this electric solution is feasible, then I will directly acquire an automobile manufacturing company in Huaxia. At that time, our automobile company will be divided into two parts, one is the R&D team you are in contact with now. , they will be fully responsible for the research and development of electric-related technologies in the future; the other is the automobile manufacturing company I mentioned, that is, the future manufacturing team. They will be responsible for the development and production of automobile hardware. If possible, we will acquire another battery research and development and production. company of."

Elon Musk said: "Mr. Li, the startup cost is too high and the risk is too high..."

Li Mu asked him, "How many years do you think it will take for this company to really start using the method you said? Can it deliver its first car in five years? Can it deliver a million cars in eight years?"

"This..." Elon Musk was at a loss for words.

Li Mu said, "Did you know that there is an auto company in China called Geely?"

"do not know……"

"Then you can understand that the founders of this company decided to build a car with the mentality of 'a car is just four wheels and two sofas'. They decided to build a car in 1997, and the first car came off in 1998. It's over, you have to have such courage to do this thing. If you want to take seven or eight years to slowly raise it, then I think you don't have to do it, because then you won't be able to do it. After finally raising it, it will be riddled with holes and have various problems. Today may be insufficient production capacity, tomorrow may be insufficient cash flow, and the day after tomorrow, it may start to lose millions a day. For a company that sells products, the less production capacity you have, the less your cash flow will be able to keep up, and the bigger your losses will be!”

When Elon Musk invested in Tesla, he only invested a few million dollars in the first round. The investment of several million dollars is to build a car. It is like a joke to say it. It can be seen that Tesla's starting speed at that time How slow, it's almost like using a lighter to stew Buddha jumping over the wall.

In Li Mu's mind, if he wants to invest in the Tesla project today, he will bring Tesla's founding team together today, and tomorrow he will have to lock in a car manufacturing company and increase capital investment, which is equivalent to two high-power stoves simmering together. With a pot of Buddha jumping over the wall, the speed will naturally increase exponentially.

When the resources on both sides are integrated, Tesla sedans will soon be able to roll off the production line like dumplings, and the order production can’t keep up? The delivery deadline has been delayed again and again? nonexistent! Maybe two or three years later, Tesla will become a street car.
