Chapter 888 How Did You Forget Us?
Until he got home, Feng Yiping still couldn’t help laughing. No matter what Musk thought, this Tesla now really belongs to him. Moreover, several main characters from the beginning were also there, and the conditions at the beginning were also the same. It's so good, there's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't be done well.
"Why are you so superficial?" He rubbed the corners of his mouth that had been raised all the time.
At any rate, he is now the richest man in the mainland, with such a big group under his own name, and two companies listed on NASDAQ under his own name, and also the third largest individual shareholder of Google, the future star in the technology industry. This is just another establishment How can you be so happy that you can't close your mouth if you just bought a company?
Didn't you feel so happy when you successfully invested in Google?
Of course, this is really different from his investment in Google. He is a shareholder of Google, but he is not the founder, let alone the chairman who controls the absolute equity. When people mention Google, they think of Page and Brin more, but It's not him, Feng Yiping.
Therefore, no matter how much he kneaded, he couldn't help laughing.
In fact, this is not to blame for his shallowness. It can only be said that the sense of accomplishment is different when Tesla, a very well-known company that later became very well-known, is included in his pocket.
To make a simple analogy, in reality, there are many female stars who are more beautiful than those in Hollywood, but they are not well-known girls, but conquering a well-known Hollywood female star is better than getting a girl who is more beautiful than her, naturally More sense of accomplishment - this is Feng Yiping's current state.
"Very well?" Huang Jingping didn't even have to look up, she could hear Feng Yiping's footsteps.
"Yes, I can't believe the success. Musk didn't have a very strong request to get a majority of the shares, hehe,"
"I think maybe they don't have confidence in this project without you," Huang Jingping said. "In short, you are the chairman of the automobile company, right? Yiping, I'm really happy for you! Also, in the future, I will also bespoke, one-of-a-kind cars,"
"No problem." Feng Yiping hugged her and her daughter. Huang Jingping's words woke him up. Indeed, the others may not have as much confidence in Tesla as he does.
In other words, they have confidence and enthusiasm, but they don't have a clear understanding of Tesla's future.
Yes, apart from Feng Yiping, including Musk, how can they be sure that Tesla will succeed, and it will be so successful?
Only one concept car was launched, and only the price was announced, so that hundreds of thousands of people around the world frantically ordered, and the deposit was soft. 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, which he still doesn't know.
For example, Musk, why not seek more equity? Because now, although he feels that there will be many difficulties in Tesla's success, he is still very optimistic, but he is not as optimistic as his own SpaceX.
People are complex and multifaceted, Feng Yiping is no exception, and Musk is no exception.
Although he may be influenced by so many science fiction novels he read when he was a child, he had the desire to explore space since he was a child, but if he said that 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 of Musk. He planned a Mars oasis project in 2001. To put it simply, he wanted to send a small experimental greenhouse to Mars to grow crops on Mars.
For this reason, in order to reduce costs, he went to Russia twice, trying to purchase refurbished launch vehicles from Russian aerospace companies.
When he went there for the first time in October 2001, he was despised by the Russian aerospace department and rocket designers because of his whimsy and lack of relevant professional knowledge.
After returning home, he went to Russia again in February 2002 to supplement his knowledge. This time, he finally stopped speaking nonsense that made people laugh. He offered to buy 3 refurbished rockets, but the price from Russia was too high. , let him leave in anger.
It took a lot of time to run twice, but there was no gain. Musk, who was very upset, had an idea on the flight back to the United States. Why don'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 module methods, he can reduce the rocket launch cost to 10%. Interest rates can be as high as 70% or more!
To put it bluntly, the big reason why he founded SpaceX was due to the 70% gross profit margin. If the profit in this industry is meager, then it is estimated that Musk, who has had a space dream since childhood, would not get involved in this industry.
This is the same as when the richest man in China later talked about starting a business, saying that it was to help small and medium-sized companies. Objectively, it may 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, But it's all incidental.
A fool like Feng Yiping who invests huge amounts of money in Wuli'ao is not a fool who subjectively wants to make money. He is probably the 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 70% gross profit? Moreover, I am still a major shareholder of SpaceX, enjoying most of the income that the company will bring in the future, so in terms of investment, of course, I prefer my company-I believe he will regret it in the future.
In short, no matter what, Feng Yiping gained control of Tesla, so that he has greater decision-making power in the selection of some supporting facilities and the establishment of a production plant outside the United States... Anyway, It's all good.
…………
Google, Feng Yiping stood in the hallway, reminding the guy who will bump into him next, "Hey!"
Mayer, who was wearing a blue sleeveless skirt, looked up from the document in his hand, "Hey, Director Feng, why are you free today?"
This woman!
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you very much, so I came to see you specially,"
"Okay," Meyer quickly closed the folder in her hand and stroked her hair back. "I have time tonight. Tell me, where should we go on a date?"
Facing such a tough woman, Feng Yiping retreated gorgeously again, "Oh, Paige, are you looking for me?"
Seeing Feng Yiping, who has become the father of the child, fled away with a smile on his face, Meyer smiled domineeringly, hey, a guy with a wicked heart (this is debatable) and no guts!
Page is still busy and has a stubble on his face. However, now he finally knows the benefits of having Schmidt and his team. Those preparatory work will take up all his working hours, how can he still have time for research and development now?
"Dude, you have to pay attention to your body." Feng Yiping followed him into the office and saw an unfinished sandwich on the coffee table. "No matter how busy you are, you have to go to the restaurant to have a good meal,"
"Well, it's okay, just make do with it once in a while,"
"Feng, because Brin and I are very busy, Schmidt is now in charge of the preliminary preparations 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, in the original time and space, their relationship is not as good as the outside world imagined.
"You have successfully led two companies to go public, and they are both performing very well now, with a lot of successful experience, so I'll leave this to you,"
Feng Yiping readily agreed, "No problem,"
The matter of Google's listing is closely related to myself, so of course I have to take care of it.
"What about the development progress?" He asked.
Page shook his hand, "The progress is good, and it is expected to go online by the end of the year at the latest,"
"Hehe, then I have reason to believe that next year's fundraising will definitely set a record," at least it will be higher than Google's historical stock price!
"Hi Feng," Brin jumped out of nowhere, and patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder. Feng Yiping saw, yo, even Brin has grown a beard. It seems that the two of them have worked really hard this time. "Thanks for the hard work, buddy!"
"We enjoy this kind of working state very much," Brin picked up the sandwich on the coffee table and stuffed it in his mouth, "I heard that you and Musk have established an electric car company called Tesla? It's so meaningful. Why didn't you call us?"
Page, who was already working in front of the computer, also stopped after hearing this, "Yes, I forgot to say, why didn't you call us for this matter? Oh, when you invested in ACP, you had such a plan, right? ,"
"Yes, I also want to make the future world less polluted," Feng Yiping laughed.
He really forgot that the two of them were also very interested in electric vehicles. It turned out that Tesla launched the first 7 Roadster electric vehicles. Page and Brin were the owners of two of them. Huge sums of money were invested.
"You are too busy, I really forgot, but it doesn't matter, if you are still interested in the next batch of financing, I will definitely let you invest first,"
"Why are you not interested? Of course you are! Also, you must remember that we are the owners of the first batch of cars,"
