Chapter 1305 Special Incentive
"We are already using BYD's blade batteries. Are Tesla's battery suppliers only Ningde Times and BYD?
Xiawei's smart car machine and smart driving are ahead of us. There is even a Daxia electric car called Leading, which also has good smart driving technology. When Jiuzhou Technology's smart driving begins to be installed on these Daxia car companies' new energy vehicles, what else can Tesla lead?"
Mask fell into deep anxiety. He even felt something moving in the back of his head, making him almost suffocate.
From the establishment of Zip2 and PayPal to the establishment of Everdream, he was bold enough to start a business every time, and then sold the company's stock at the high point at that time, and then used the cash to start a business.
Before acquiring Advanced, he sold $3.95 billion of Tesla stock. Now, the traffic of Tait is declining year by year. The Jiuzhou community thing will absorb a lot of traffic every once in a while, and SpaceX's Starlink profitability is not even comparable to Tait, so now Tesla is the most profitable company among all the projects invested by Mask.
In the 1012th year of the Xia Yin calendar, Tesla went public.
In the 1013th year of the Xia Yin calendar, Tesla's market value exceeded 10 billion US dollars. In the second year, Tesla's annual revenue exceeded 2 billion US dollars. Five years later, Tesla's market value was approaching 1 trillion US dollars. .
Now, under the offensive of these car companies in Daxia, Tesla's market value is "steadily retreating".
The reason why Masker is so anxious is that in addition to Tesla being the most profitable company in the business empire he controls, there is another point, that is, Tesla's future is directly related to how much money he can get to leave!
That's right, Tesla's annual profit now has no direct relationship with his own account.
In the 1018th year of the Xia Yin calendar, Tesla's board of directors passed a special new equity incentive plan.
The plan stipulates that until the 1028th year of the Xia Yin calendar, Masker will have no salary income or bonuses in Tesla.
He only has option income linked to performance.
If Masker can achieve both the market value target and the operation target, it can get a corresponding option, and it can get up to 12 options in this decade.
Now Masker has received more than 40 billion US dollars in option rewards. If Tesla can reach the top at the same exaggerated growth rate as before, Masker himself may have more than 100 billion US dollars in option rewards.
In fact, if Tesla can develop to that top level, Masker, as the chairman of Tesla, can get this reward, which is acceptable to everyone.
Because this means that the capital behind them can also obtain considerable benefits in the process of Tesla's development and growth.
But what about now?
Some scholars have shouted the slogan that Tesla will go bankrupt within ten years.
Masker used the power of social media such as FT to suppress these voices with great difficulty, but these dog scholars actually ran to the Jiuzhou community to shout nonsense.
It just so happens that the examples and data cited by these scholars are all real news that Daxia users "like to hear and see", and Jiuzhou Technology deliberately protects these scholars, so Tesla has also been labeled as a splendid exterior with rotten inside in Western public opinion.
Looking at the speeches of these Daxia companies, Maske became more and more angry.
Gradually, the expression management of this Youtai person gradually lost control.
He pressed the button on the desk.
The assistant of Tesla's chairman's office came over from the other side of the room.
"I'm going to SpaceX to deal with some important matters. If someone wants to see me, let him wait."
After that, Maske left Tesla's headquarters quickly while the assistant lowered his head.
Instead of getting in his sports car, he got directly into the business car prepared by the bodyguard.
"Go to SpaceX Satellite Research Laboratory, hurry up."
Hearing the boss's order, the driver who left the elite troops stepped on the accelerator and started to accelerate.
With 20 years of driving experience, the "old driver" who has driven a tank shuttled through the traffic all the way, even forcing some vehicles to brake and slow down.
Two years ago, Tesla launched the FSD fully autonomous driving function in North America, and many Tesla owners chose to use FSD instead of manual driving.
Someone even uploaded a video of Tesla Mod 3 turning on the FSD fully autonomous driving function, starting from SpaceX's Los Angeles headquarters and heading to Tesla's former headquarters in Silicon Valley, a total of 579 kilometers.
In this video, the vehicle is driving on urban roads, expressways, highways and other road conditions.
However, after turning on the FSD fully autonomous driving function, Tesla Mod 3 can easily cope with left turns, lane changes, overtaking, and on and off ramps.
According to the video shooter, the whole process took 9 and a half hours, and there was no manual takeover during the driving process.
When this video came out, the sales of Mod 3 increased a lot, but later the video shooter did not upload any other more amazing videos.
And now, Tesla's boss Musk set out from Tesla's current headquarters in Silicon Valley to SpaceX's headquarters in Los Angeles. Not only did he not take his own Mod 3, but the only two Mod 3s in the fleet did not have any drivers who turned on the FSD fully autonomous driving function.
"Drive steadily and faster on the road. I'll take a nap first. If there is a call, follow the old rules. Wake me up if there are more than two redials."
After saying that, Masker put on his eye mask, leaned back, and took a deep breath wrapped in the smart cockpit.
He must sleep for more than five hours a day, otherwise his brain will ache or even dizzy.
The doctor suggested taking melatonin and Taoyao together, but when he thought that Taoyao was made by Jiuzhou Technology, and every bottle he drank would increase the profit of Jiuzhou Technology, Masker gradually stopped using it.
Of course, there are already alternative products, but the effect is not as good as Taoyao. Even drinking too much will cause panic and arrhythmia, but it can indeed ensure a clear mind.
Feeling the massage component gently massaging his head, and the air conditioner blowing out fresh air rich in oxygen ions, Masker slowly fell asleep in a deep breath.
The driver glanced at the state of his boss and began to accelerate slowly.
They were asked to protect Masker's personal safety, and they also had an important mission, which was to make Masker make the right decisions and implement them quickly.
Nowadays, among the elite class in America, more and more people are beginning to abandon ordinary telephones, faxes, and Internet communications. In some special cases, they even choose to go to meet and negotiate in person without any effort.
