Thousands of clones starting from ants

Chapter 218 The effect is amazing
This is actually betting on the future with the present.

Outsiders seem to understand that the future is promising, so they naturally want to gamble.

But as an insider, who can see clearly?

Just like speculating in stocks, you are also betting on the future (the growth of the company) with the present. How many people dare to sell all their property and bet on it?

You might say that the information in the stock market is ever-changing, not to mention a black swan where the market collapses all of a sudden, and the banker sits on the bank and the like, which can kill people. There are too many uncertain factors.

But the risk of Zai Xiuyong's current behavior is not small.

Maybe a meteorite will fall from the sky tomorrow and kill Du Jia?
Moreover, Dujia's products are all conceptual now. Only Arrow Ant is about to be launched, but it has not yet faced the test of large-scale users.

There are too many uncertainties here.

Such as spontaneous combustion, such as the loss of control of intelligent systems, and even various conspiracies and tricks.

Either one is fatal, much more serious than the stock market.

At least the stock market does not end in one day, if you are willing to admit defeat, you can stop the loss if you sell.

But for many companies, when they encounter troubles, they will really be beaten to death with a stick.

Moreover, in order to occupy the market in the early stage, Ant Zhixing sold a car at a loss. Although it can recover some blood through after-sales, after-sales is a long-term consumption behavior. It is impossible for someone to do a small maintenance once every 5000 kilometers.

For brands of less than 20 yuan, 500-1000 for a minor maintenance is considered an average level.

According to the company's internal calculations, after excluding the labor and storefront costs of the after-sales directly-operated stores, it takes an average of one year for a car to earn back 1 yuan.

This is actually a huge loss, but how is it so easy to build a new brand?

Don’t you see that a certain car, which won the title of the safest domestic car, suffered a huge loss of 70 billion, and eventually went bankrupt and sold it to others?

Compared with this, a loss of 1 yuan per car is a fart?
Only [-] vehicles lost [-] million.

According to Du Jia's idea, if a new car brand can sell [-] vehicles in the first year, it is already very successful.

It took several years for many start-up auto companies to achieve tens of thousands of sales.

He Xiaopeng of Xiaopeng Motors said: "I used to think that 100 billion was too exaggerated when I saw other people making cars, but now I think 200 billion is not enough!"

Li Bin of Weilai Automobile also said in 2016: "It is difficult for a new company to start a new car brand without raising 200 billion yuan!"

By the way, Weilai lost 4 billion US dollars in 50 years, and then because it sold more than 2 cars last year, it was invested another 70 billion.

Let alone these provincial brands.

In recent years, the most powerful new car-making force is Tesla, right?In fact, many people do not know that Tesla was established in July 03.

In the past 17 years, except for the occasional quarterly profit accident, it has actually been losing money.

If calculated in terms of years, it has never made a profit in the past 17 years.

And it has only sold one million cars in 17 years.

In 17, they lost a total of nearly 1000 billion yuan, which is equivalent to a daily loss of more than 10 million yuan, or a loss of [-] yuan for every car sold.

By the way, Weilai actually lost money very quickly. From 16 to 19, it lost 280 billion.

Do you have to lose money if you lose money?

Capital is not that simple!

Ruixing Coffee is also losing money!But the bosses make a lot of money.

Toyota has been profitable!However, Tesla, which has lost tens of millions of dollars, has surpassed Toyota in market value and has become the world's largest car company in terms of market value.

A company in the province spent more than 5.00 billion yuan in order to obtain a 100% stake in Tesla. This was still in 2017.

How many elementary school students need to recharge to earn more than 100 billion!
So compared to these, Du Jia lost 1 yuan on a car, what a fart?
In the future, if Ant Zhixing cannot become the world's largest car company by market value, it must be that the losses are not enough.

Of course, this is also related to Du Jia's thinking.

He has never been able to understand business or capital operations.

Isn't doing business about controlling losses, striving for profits, and then getting bigger and bigger?

But now the capital is so bad that you don’t need to know how to make money at all. Just like sharing bicycles, first circle the market, Angel round, A round, B round... until the listing.

Hey, it's obviously a loss to grandma's house, how did the boss and investors make money?
Who lost money in the end?
We don't know, and we dare not say.

But Du Jia didn't like this very much.

He didn't want to figure it out either.

In his view, the current price of 18.8 is a loss, but with the increase in production proficiency and the reduction of spare parts prices, the price of 18.8 can be balanced within two years.

And as long as enough cars are sold, for example, more than [-] cars, then the directly-operated stores can actually make a profit every year just by doing after-sales.

After all, the cost of a store serving 100 cars a year is the same as that of serving 1000 cars. The more cars sold, the more it can offset the cost.

Someone in Ant Zhixing once suggested that Du Jia’s pace is too slow, and he should raise funds and then trot quickly.

But Du Jia directly vetoed it.

It's not in line with his values.

……

For Zai Xiuyong, the scarecrow can now stably bring him more than [-] million profits every year, but after the equity replacement, Ant Zhixing and Hankong Research Institute may not be profitable in the next three to five years.

Simplify the problem.

Two options.

1. 1 million cash per year within five years.

2. If there is no income within five years, there is an 80% chance of obtaining tens of billions of income after five years.

Which one do you choose?
Many people still admire Zai Xiuyong after putting themselves in his shoes.

And they are even more emotional about the relationship between Zai Xiuyong and Du Jia, because Zai Xiuyong has completely given up the dominance of the company. As long as Du Jia has an idea, he can use various legal means to legally dilute Zai Xiuyong. shares.

Just like Microsoft.

Everyone knows Bill, but who knows that when Microsoft was first established, Bill only had 64 shares, and another boss named Paul Allen took 36 shares.

But how many people know Alan now?You know, the name of Microsoft Microsoft was given by Allen.

As the company grew, Allen's stake was quickly diluted to 28 percent, and in his 2011 memoir, "The Creative," he says "they complained that my latest output wasn't enough and discussed how to and other shareholders to issue options to dilute my Microsoft shares."

In the end, Allen sold all his shares in Microsoft and left Microsoft.

Although he didn't say the reason, everyone knows that if he can change from 36% to 28%, he will continue to stay at Microsoft, and his shares will definitely continue to decrease in the future.

Of course, a big guy is a big guy.

After Allen left Microsoft, his years of investment also brought his total assets to 227 billion US dollars. At the same time, he is also a shareholder of DreamWorks and the owner of the NBA Portland Trail Blazers.

But in any case, his experience at Microsoft can illustrate the cruelty of business and capital.

As long as Du Jia thinks, there are a hundred ways to make Zai Xiuyong lose everything.

In fact, many people persuaded Zai Xiuyong in private, but Zai Xiuyong was unmoved, he kept saying: "I believe in my eyes, I believe in my heart!"

He said to his wife: "Forgive me for such an impulsive decision!"

But his wife said with a smile: "No matter what you choose, I will support you! Besides, I also have a business. If you go bankrupt, I will support you! Well, I still hope that you will go bankrupt and enjoy the feeling of taking care of you !"

To Du Jia's amazement, Zai Xiuyong's interpersonal skills are really full!
In just one month, leaders at all levels have come to Ant Zhixing for inspections. Every inspection will be reported by the relevant official media, and the leaders will also say some very positive speeches.

The direct impact is that the slanderous speeches on the Internet have suddenly decreased by 80.00%!

At the same time, the pre-sale of Ant Zhixing ended, and the total sales volume during the pre-sale period was 1321 vehicles!
