Chapter 1723 Make Good Use Of

"Yes, I am a senior financial reporter from Nikkei Shimbun," faced Feng Yiping's straightforward and almost insulting question, Kato suppressed his anger and answered affirmatively.

"Mr. Feng, we have always been very optimistic about you, and the majority of investors are also very optimistic about you, so I hope you will always put the interests of investors first and not let down everyone's expectations of you,"

Kato said in a tone of concern for Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping was still smiling until Kato asked again, "So, what do you have to say about this question?"

He then said, "I have always believed that financial reporters should be the most rigorous among all reporters, because we know that finance is generally related to data, and data, because it is honest and direct, is also rigorous. ,"

"But now it seems that it may be my personal understanding of this issue and some misunderstandings,"

I can tolerate it, Kato thought, I just want to see how you explain this problem.

"Tesla is an unlisted company and has no obligation to disclose relevant information to the outside world, but I can tell you clearly that currently, we have a total of five investors," Feng Yiping said with a slap in the face.

"I also want to tell you that these five investors are all individual investors. Yes, you heard me right. None of the five investors are companies or institutional investors."

Kato's expression changed.

"So, do I think that's the case? As long as the five of us are responsible for ourselves, we have no chance to influence the 'majority of investors' you call us?"

Kato knew that his understanding was biased again.

He is not an imprecise financial reporter. During the preparation period, he also inquired about Tesla's registration information. However, because Tesla is registered in Nevada, he personally, including Nikkei, has no right to inquire. specific information.

Based on his own experience, he speculated that at least Feng Yiping and Musk should invest through companies, but he did not expect that even they invested directly in their own names.

But even with this oversight, do you think I have no other options?

However, Feng Yiping no longer planned to give him a chance to speak at this time, "I don't know if you have paid attention to other news. I also want to remind you that I personally do not have any bank debt at the moment. Oh, I still have some. Because in many countries, I can only spend money with a credit card,"

"Also, excluding listed companies, all my other companies currently have zero external liabilities. Yes, we do not owe any upstream partners any payment, not even the billing period,"

"There are listed companies, but they are responsible for the majority of investors, because those reasonable accounting periods can reasonably generate additional profits for the majority of investors,"

But there is still a loophole.

But Feng Yiping immediately made up for it. "If you want to ask this," he said with a smile, "As of now, my company once again does not have any bank loans."

"So, I don't use bank loans, that is, depositors' funds, or investors' funds, to stubbornly realize my dreams,"

Kato's mouth was now big enough to fit a fist in, but after looking around for a moment, he felt that the reason why this loophole appeared was not because he was not rigorous. There was no need to verify whether the company had any loan issues. ? There must be both, the difference is just the level of debt ratio.

But you, Feng Yiping, are so abnormal.

Didn't you look surprised when you saw so many guests around you?

You are a world-renowned company, but you don’t have any bank loans now. How is this possible?

The melon-eaters who were watching were no more surprised than Feng Yiping.

Not long ago, some people paid attention to the news that he had repaid the $2 billion loan from ICBC. According to their thinking, after repaying the $2 billion, it was obvious that he would naturally raise another $2 billion or more from the bank. develop.

However, you didn’t even get another penny from the bank?

Even if you have plenty of funds, since you have such conditions, even if you use it to invest after financing from the bank, that is still a very good idea, isn't it?

If Li Lin, who was far away by the Huangpu River, knew what these people were thinking at this time, she would definitely shout, "Yes, yes, please help me persuade him. I am a dignified CFO and I have basically lost my financing function." , became a general accountant,"

However, for Feng Yiping, in addition to short-term capital operations, including the oil futures business currently conducted by Li Ruiyuan and others, what other worthy investment projects are better than his own Facebook, Tesla, and already a major shareholder? What about Google?

Several other projects worthy of short-term or long-term investment, including PetroChina, which followed Buffett's lead, gold investment that I once regretted very much, Apple, which is worth holding in the long term, and domestic blue-chip stocks led by Moutai, have already been laid out..., looking at At first glance, there don’t seem to be many others that are urgently suitable for investment.

So, why should I borrow money from the bank and increase my financial expenses?

"Perhaps you also think that as an excellent entrepreneur, you should invest your own funds in the most worthy investment areas?" Feng Yiping added.

"That's right," Kato nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice. Thank you for your help. "It is recognized in the industry that our country's hybrid technology is the most reliable solution. We should not invest in an unrealistic project. , investing so many resources,”

"When Mr. Benz built the world's first car, most people believed that a horse-drawn carriage was definitely the most suitable means of transportation," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

You were really sick and sought medical treatment, or maybe I finally figured out your other purpose for asking this question. In addition to wanting to discredit my personal image, you also wanted to advertise for some companies in your own country. At least you could kill two birds with one stone.

But don’t you think about it, I will assist you? And to help you attack me?

"We are all very aware of the outcome now, and I think today, every one of us who uses cars, every company that produces cars, should thank Mr. Mercedes-Benz,"

"In addition, as a citizen of a car powerhouse, I think you should understand that if our vision can be successfully realized and pure electric vehicles can be promoted around the world, this will have great significance in terms of environmental protection and alternative renewable energy,"

"It is precisely because of this, and precisely because we all hope to make the world a better tomorrow through our own efforts. In addition to the five of us, Mr. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, and Page, the co-founder of Google, and Mr. Brin also hope that we can convene the board of directors as soon as possible to approve their personal investment,"

"Or does this also mean that outstanding entrepreneurs like them are optimistic about this project?"

"Of course, we believe that even if our project does not succeed in the end, our investment will not be wasted, which is meaningful,"

"The direction of new energy vehicles is irreversible. Even if we fail today, it will definitely provide a very realistic reference for those who come after us. We are all willing to be such dream makers, even if we personally pay a lot of money for this No regrets despite the loss,”

"For a greener tomorrow, we are willing to invest heavily to become a pioneer in new energy vehicles, pave the way for latecomers, reduce related investments for latecomers, and lower the threshold in this field so that more users can enjoy it in the future. Driving an energy-saving and environmentally friendly pure electric vehicle,”

"What's more, judging from the current development, there is no possibility of failure of this project,"

Kato, who looked a little gloomy, looked at Feng Yiping and finally said, "This is my opinion," and stood up. While once again complaining that he should not ask this question first, he quickly adjusted his mood and prepared to ask again. Another question that is more lethal and has a stronger smell of gunpowder, "Mr. Feng, regarding your...,"

But now that he has seen his true face clearly, how can Feng Yiping give him a chance? He strode towards the conference room, "Sorry for wasting everyone's time,"

"We have benefited a lot from your words, Mr. Feng," the owner, Temasek, said.

The guests who passed by Kato, who was standing there blankly, looked at him as if they were a complete fool.

"If all reporters were this ridiculous, I would definitely become a loyal user of Nikkei,"

"Haha, me too,"

A few scattered words reached Kato's ears, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Bang," the heavy door of the conference room closed again. Amidst the unabashed gloating eyes of his colleagues around him, Kato just sat down on the ground...

In the conference room, Lao Ma gave Feng Yiping a thumbs-up under the table, "Well done on this promotion!"
