China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 486 484. Boss Cao likes to do things right

Although Tesla is not well-known yet, it is an American company after all.

If you can become its global brand spokesperson, your status in the entertainment industry will definitely be different. For this kind of temptation, as long as you are in the entertainment industry, it will not be difficult for ordinary people to refuse.

Musk didn't know the purpose of his men. When he heard Rodri's words, he smiled and echoed: "What a great idea. This lady is so beautiful. We just happen to have a Roadster red sports car. If this Miss Jingtian is the spokesperson, we will definitely do it." It’s the most suitable.”

He also felt that this girl was too talented to be a secretary. She should be a star, and her beauty was definitely worthy of being a spokesperson.

Cao Yu first glanced at Jing Tian, ​​who was full of expectations, and knew that she was willing.

But when he looked at Rodri, he suddenly realized that he was looking at Jingtian with something lewd, and he finally understood why this guy kept looking for trouble.

"Haha, if you dare to take advantage of Xiao Tiantian, you are seeking death!"

Although Cao Yu cursed in his heart, in order not to disappoint Jing Tian, ​​he said calmly: "Since both of you are optimistic about Miss Jing Tian, ​​if she is willing, of course I have no objection."

"Xiao Cao."

Yang Shuxue has been in the mall for so many years, and she just noticed that Rodri had some bad intentions, so she kicked Cao Yu's feet and reminded him in a low voice.

“Your Tesla’s valuation shouldn’t be that high, right?”

Cao Yu just smiled at Yang Shuxue's kind reminder.

Cao Yu and Musk whispered about autonomous driving while listening.

Cao Yu smiled without humility: "If we don't go crazy, we will be old. I like investing in people's unrealized dreams."

Did he invest in me because he thought we were the same kind of people?

No wonder he became a rich man in such a short period of time. It turned out that not only did he have vicious eyes, he also had such bold and crazy ideas hidden in his heart.

"Yep!"

"Cao, your idea is even crazier than mine!"

"Mr. Cao, Ms. Yang and I already talked about this when we were in New York. Tesla's current IPO valuation is US$11.7 billion. Mr. Cao and Ms. Yang each invested US$23.05 million, accounting for % of the shares respectively."

Although the figure of 23% is definitely not small, Cao Yu is still dissatisfied because in his impression, Tesla has not developed yet after experiencing the subprime mortgage crisis.

After hearing about the development prospects of Cao Yu's cars, Musk has been impressed by this young Chinese man.

Although Jingtian's youth and appearance made her a little jealous, she didn't want this girl to take advantage of the foreign devils.

Back in the conference room, the local government took out the planning map of the area and began to discuss specific investment matters. These matters were naturally handed over to the team led by Cai Chongxin.

"Do not worry."

Musk felt that when Huaxia Cao said this, he was simply a philosopher.

Seeing that the other party had been deceived by him, Cao Yu finally said: "The two of us invested one billion US dollars this time. How to calculate the share ratio of the company? What is Tesla's current market value?"

From the driving assistance system, he talked about how to identify road signs, traffic lights, lane lines, etc., and automatically control the vehicle's acceleration, braking, steering and other operations to achieve autonomous driving.

Musk smiled and said: "We just received a loan of US$4.65 million last year, and we have invested all of it in the development of the company. After the listing, the amount will definitely be more than US$11 billion. Mr. Cao will definitely not suffer a loss."

But in my heart, I have already begun to plan how to operate on Rodri!

Cao Yu narrowed his eyes before he finished speaking.

In business, although I admire Boss Cao, if Musk was not smart, his career would not develop so fast.

"Fooling, then lying."

Cao Yu has asked people to investigate the true situation of Tesla in the past few days: "I heard that Daimler only spent 10 million U.S. dollars to acquire 50% of Tesla's shares last year. We invested billion U.S. dollars, and only % of Tesla's shares were purchased." Isn’t it less than %?”

"There was a subprime mortgage crisis last year, and that transaction was before we got the loan."

Hearing that Cao Yu was so difficult to fool, Musk smiled and said: "How many shares does Mr. Cao want to acquire with the US$500 million?"

"Me and Ms. Yang, at least 51%."

"this."

Musk was hesitant, even though he urgently needed money to grow the company.

But if these two people hold 51% of the company's shares, it will exceed their own 25.2%. Then won't the position of chairman have to be given up to others?

Cao Yu said unhurriedly: "Mr. Musk, isn't it just a matter of adding some money? Don't worry, if I become the largest shareholder, the CEO can let you do it, and the company's development and decision-making rights will also be given to you. how?"

"FUXK? What about me?"

Musk was still hesitating. Rodri, who was discussing the new factory with Cai Chongxin, felt his body tremble, and then he began to curse in his heart.

But what Cao Yu said next made the current CEO want to flip the table.

"As for Rodri's shares, I will also take them all. In addition, the company will also change its name."

At this time, everyone in the room was focused on Cao Yu, including Yang Shuxue, Musk, and Jing Tian. I saw Cao Yu facing everyone and continued: "The company's current name is Tesla Motors. I think it can be changed to Tesla. In the future, we will not only build cars, but also develop new energy sources and rockets."

"Oak! Just do it!"

This sentence once again struck a chord in Musk's heart, and since Boss Cao was willing to increase the money, he immediately agreed.

"This Mr. Cao is such a close friend. He is exactly what I thought."

In addition, although this person likes to be in the entertainment industry, he not only owns an entertainment company, but also a video company and a technology company. He also has shares in China's largest Internet Penguin, the largest online shopping platform Jingdong, and a real estate company.

In addition, he is also the second shareholder of Facebook, the global social networking site.

Such influence will definitely allow its new energy vehicles to enter the Chinese market and even sell well around the world.

Tesla is still losing money now. With Boss Cao’s money and vision, Tesla will definitely make a profit.

"Capitalists are not kind, so they fired me? Then what the hell am I still doing here?"

Compared with Musk's happiness, Rodri felt like he had eaten a fly.

During my trip to China this time, I actually lost my position as CEO? what did I do?

Holding back the nausea in my heart, I considered whether to continue working for the new boss or...

If he wants to leave, he will leave immediately.

But he is a gentleman, and it would be too ungraceful for him to leave now.

As for that little beauty, it is completely out of the scope of consideration. Let alone touching her now, I don’t even have the intention to take a look at it.

While hesitating, Cao Yu said: "Mr. Rodri, please, your work has been completed. Mr. Yang, please book a ticket for him and let him go home."

"???"

Rodri had no idea that the new boss would be so awesome.

This beautiful girl is not your wife. Even if she is your lover, it won’t be like this, right?

Musk wanted to persuade him, but after recalling what Rodri had said before, he glanced at Jing Tian and silently closed his mouth.

Rodri looked at everyone's eyes and knew that although the two parties had not signed the contract, Musk did not intercede on his behalf, and the two parties had reached an agreement, which meant that the matter was settled.

She is doing things so well now. If she waits for this Chinese person to become the chairman of the board, she may not be able to reap the benefits.

"FUXK!"

Cursing again in his mind, he could only leave China in despair.

In the next few days, although it was still the holidays, Cao Yu was busy studying the Huaxia factory with Musk.

On October 6.5, Fei'e Technology, Huanyu Group, and Tesla officially signed a share transaction agreement. Fei'e Technology spent US$29.95 million to acquire a total of % of the shares in Tesla and Rodri's name, becoming Tesla's largest shareholder. shareholder.

In the end, Yang Shuxue only invested 4.5 million, accounting for 20.5% of the shares, becoming Tesla's third largest shareholder.

Together, the two of them own more than 50%, nearly twice as many shares as Musk, and basically control the company.

At the same time, Musk was appointed as the new CEO, responsible for Tesla’s global development.

On October 9, Jing Tian and Musk signed an advertising endorsement agreement and became Tesla's global spokesperson.

On October 2010th, the Tesla China Factory project was finalized, and a thousand acres of land were acquired to build three automobile production lines. Construction will start in 2012 and production will begin in early .

On October 18, Cai Chongxin led the company's financial team and went to the United States with Musk to handle the company's name change, share change and other related procedures.

At this point, Boss Cao's business empire has expanded to a large area.

That night, in the hotel.

Although Yang Shuxue can see Cao Yu every day recently, the two cannot be intimate because there are too many people here this time.

Now that they were more than halfway gone, the two finally seized the opportunity to solve their needs.

After the passion, the two lay together and enjoyed the rare silence.

"Honey, Huayi will be launched the day after tomorrow. Do you really not want to go and see it?"

"I'm too lazy to go."

Cao Yu had no interest in Huayi going public, and he didn't have to face reporters.

Yang Shuxue added: "You are also in the entertainment industry, and you don't have any dealings with Huayi. I think it would be better for you to go and don't let them get too arrogant."

"It seems to make sense."

Cao Yu thought for a while and nodded: "After finishing the things here, let's go take a look."

But then he smiled and said: "Baby, do you want to stay with me a few more days?"

"You've seen all this."
