Chapter 2838 Responses From Domestic Parties

Just as Xiao Qi guessed Musk's idea of ​​listing Tesla, Musk had already expected Xiao Qi's unwillingness to let Tesla go public.

After all, Xiao Qi's "selfish" character is well known. There are so many industries under his name, but so far the two companies that have been listed are Meitu Sharing and Fairy Guardian.

These two companies combined are not as good as the three major products of Fairy Company, not as good as APPSTORE, not as good as Airbnb, not as good as Uber...

Therefore, Wall Street has a love-hate relationship with Xiao Qi.

What I love is his outstanding talent, and he can always do the company so well. If he can entrust them with the task of going public, then he will be a lot of fat meat with an IPO valuation of hundreds of billions!

What I hate is that Xiao Qi is too selfish, he doesn't know how to share at all, he firmly controls the profitable companies, and he doesn't talk about going public at all.

If a company is not listed, how can they play on Wall Street?

Musk has no opinion on Xiao Qi's character, but he knows that Tesla still has a long way to go to persuade Xiao Qi, the largest shareholder with 42% of the shares, to go public successfully.

When it comes to business, Masco likes everyone to be kind and friendly. He is not the kind of leader Qiao, so he decided to persuade Xiao Qi slowly.

And as Xiao Qi said, Musko is not in a hurry now, and he is not stupid. The Model S electric car has just sparked a wave of popularity, and it has not fully reflected its own value. How could it be rushed to the market?

At least until the end of next year, when the production and sales volume of the Model S exceeds 500,000 units, then we can talk about the launch, in order to maximize profits, convince Xiao Qi, and make his wish of subsidizing SpaceX succeed.

On this point, Xiao Qi agreed, and the two decided to wait until the end of next year to discuss the matter of going public.

Now Musk's most important work point is naturally how to promote Model S. Let Model S integrate into people's life more quickly and conveniently.

Of course, there is another point. Although the Model S is ready for mass production, the technical department has made improvements to the Model S. It is still going on, how to make Model S better is also a problem that he must consider.

Model S is an electric vehicle, what it needs most is not gas stations, but charging piles one by one.

But Musk has little to worry about. The United States and Canada are very supportive of this kind of green energy vehicles.

When they went to discuss with the U.S. Department of Commerce in April, the Department of Commerce directly reported to Congress and agreed to build charging piles across the United States.

As long as the required land is owned by the state, it will be allocated free of charge.

If it is privately owned, the state will reduce all taxes, including both buyers and sellers.

Such support is definitely great!

Taxes in the United States are high, especially in land sales. Just agreeing to tax breaks is enough to reduce costs for buyers and sellers by more than 30%.

Some officials even assured Musko that if it is confirmed that Tesla is confident in developing electric vehicles and clean energy vehicles, then the government will consider maximizing tax cuts for all Tesla’s income in the future. policy.

If Tesla is already listed at this time, if this news is passed on to the stock market, there is absolutely no problem in directly doubling Tesla's share price.

Musk, who is a little bit more energetic, went to work for Tesla without mentioning it.

On Huaguo's side, there was an unexpectedly heated discussion - about Tesla, about the Model S.

Because Xiao Qi, the largest shareholder of Tesla, is from Huaguo. Therefore, one of Tesla's Model S was tested in Huaguo.

Those who can ride hundreds of thousands of electric cars are not poor, so there are not as many onlookers here as there are in the United States. But there are still crowds of three to five hundred people each time.

These drivers and car enthusiasts also swiped their screens for a long time on several car forums in Huaguo, allowing tens of millions of car fans in Huaguo to see the various advantages and disadvantages of Model S.

"That appearance is really tricky, isn't it? I feel like I'm looking at Ferrari and Lamborghini!"

"Although the price is not very expensive. But the quality is not bad. If you look at the video of the test on the Gobi, it is obvious that a blown stone has smashed a hole, but it still does not hinder the driving, and all the data are normal. "

"Tch, you bumpkins, what's so great about the exterior? The most important thing is to look at the inside! Look at the cockpit of the Model S, how domineering, how technological is it? This is a car from the future! As expected of me The industry of the idol Xiao Qi, this style, is too cool!"

"I also like this very much, and looking at their development trend, I look forward to the first smart car appearing in Tesla! Xiao Qi needs to work harder!"

"Haha, Xiao Qi's smart electronics, together with Tesla's various vehicle technologies, together are the best! Not to mention anything else, I want to buy one just because of that 20-inch super touch LCD screen. car!"

"Come on, people in the United States have stopped accepting orders. It's our Huaguo's turn? At least two years later! Will this car still be popular after two years? Besides, it's not like you don't know Huaguo's package The facilities have always been the worst, and the problem of the charging pile alone is enough for many people to have a headache, right?"

"Am I afraid of this when I have money? I have a villa at home! I charge the battery every time I go out, can't I? Whoever uses this car for off-road running is a fool! I drive in and around the city, 480 kilometers Isn’t the number of distances enough for me to run? It’s enough for a round trip from Dongfang to Gusu, okay?”

"Hehe, only rich people can drive it. Have you noticed that the cheapest bicycle in the United States is close to 400,000 RMB. According to the rules of import tariffs, it will be at least 700,000 RMB in China, plus the purchase price. Taxes and insurance, etc., at least 800,000 yuan? This is the price of an Audi Q7, Mercedes-Benz ML, and BMW 7 Series! That is, it is a little cheaper than the authentic sports cars!"

"Buying this car, talking about money is too vulgar! What you want is this style, what you want is the feeling of screaming when others see it and sit in it... Well, this seems to be the original intention of buying a sports car!"

"You don't know yet, do you? It is said that Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen intend to introduce policies to restrict car registration, number lottery or auction number plates! If this is the case, new energy vehicles will definitely get a lot of discounts! Compared with those gasoline vehicles , the government that pays more and more attention to environmental protection in recent years must encourage the development of new energy vehicles!"

"It would be great if we in Dongfang City could get the Model S licensed for free. The license fee is more than 40,000. How pitiful do you think we are?"

"..."

It's not just that people are discussing, in fact, when Xiao Qi was still in the capital, Wang Yupeng, the boss of Biyadi, called.

"Qi Shao, are you in Rongcheng? I want to visit you, do you think it's okay?" Wang Yupeng said very politely.

Now Biyadi is an important battery supplier of Fairy Company, but Wang Yupeng and Xiao Qi don’t have any close friends, but Wang Yupeng is still a very good person. He will call Xiao Qi every year and holiday, and then send them some from the south from time to time. Souvenirs are given to Xiao Qi, they are not expensive, but they are thoughtful.

"I'm in the capital now." Xiao Qi smiled, "Mr. Wang, you want to ask about Tesla, right?"

"right!"

Wang Yupeng did not hide it, and said with his jaw: "I am very interested in Tesla, and I want to visit them in the United States. I know that you are the largest shareholder of Tesla, so I would like to ask you to give me a hand over there." say hi."

Tesla welcomes others to visit, but Wang Yupeng seems to have other ideas, so he asked Xiao Qi to talk to Musk.

"Mr. Wang is probably not just for the battery, right?" Xiao Qi asked.

Batteries are Biyadi's starting treasure, and now they are their flagship products, and their profit margins are much higher than those of cars.

However, Tesla's batteries are not from Biyadi, nor from any of the four major manufacturers in Huaguo, but from Toshiba and Hitachi in Japan. The high-tech research of these two companies in the battery field, Absolutely world-class, even those companies in Germany dare not say they are better than them.

Customized batteries for electric vehicles are not cheap. The previous Roadster used German Bosch, but this time the ModelS chose Toshiba and Hitachi.

For this reason, the two clubs also specially called Xiao Qi to thank them. They thought that Xiao Qi gave them the order because of the relationship they had been cooperating with.

As everyone knows, this is entirely Musk's business decision.

If it wasn't for the fact that the four major battery manufacturers in Huaguo still have technical defects and failed to meet the requirements during the test, it would be absolutely impossible for Xiao Qi to give them the order.

"Hehe, the battery is something we must work hard on, but besides that, I also want to see if there is any potential for the development of electric vehicles in China!" Wang Yupeng replied.

He didn't speak so seriously, but Xiao Qi knew that Wang Yupeng had the idea of ​​making an electric car in his heart, and the first electric car in Huaguo in the future would be produced by Biyadi.

Thinking about the unsatisfactory things of FAW, 2AW, BAIC, Dongfeng and GAC, whether this private businessman is for profit or not, this spirit of active exploration is worthy of admiration.

"Understood, I will tell Masco." After thinking about it, Xiao Qi said lightly, "If there is anything that needs Tesla's cooperation, you can discuss it carefully."

"Thank you Qi Shao!"

Wang Yupeng smiled and hung up the phone.

At this time, he didn't know that Xiao Qi wanted to support his electric car, otherwise he would definitely be so happy from ear to ear! (~^~)
