To do business honestly, this is Wen Ming's first thought.

He has great self-confidence and can make his Apple company the third apple that truly changes the world with the technologies he obtained through his ‘Daydream’. However, even if he didn't look at the threat posed by 'Daydream', just watching the peep he encountered in the process of doing business honestly made him give up his original thoughts.

Becoming a true capitalist sometimes requires the use of 'immoral' means.

Martin Eberhard did not expect Wenming to become so direct, but he also wanted to understand it in an instant, because after landing on Jurassic Island, Wenming has been holding him down. How could the unique Jurassic island in the world not add aura to Wenming?

Or, when Martin Eberhard decided to look for Wenming, he was already in the momentum of Wenming.

The incredible Apple is undoubtedly a behemoth for Tesla, but Martin Eberhard, who is only a Tesla shareholder, how can he not be frightened when faced with a halo such as Apple's founder?

It has nothing to do with age, and wealth status.

"I'm looking forward to your friendship, so I want to be able to tell you some information before discussing the offer about my Tesla shares."

Since its short exposure has always been a taboo in the mall, but after the other party has taken the initiative, Martin Abelhard can only do this to facilitate a certain degree of initiative.

"I don't have the highest decision-making power in Tesla, or my share does not give you the highest decision-making power in Tesla."

Martin Abelhard said: "Besides that, I have also received news that Daimler intends to exchange $ 10 million for Tesla's 10% stake."

This news made Wen Ming frowned. For him now, 50 million US dollars is nothing, but for Tes, who is about to lose his salary, it is tantamount to giving away charcoal in the snow.

Not only can Tesla's funding week turn normal, but they can also have a certain amount of research and development funding.

More importantly, Daimler is very strong.

Daimler AG, headquartered in Germany, is ranked 17th among the world's top 500 companies. It is the world's largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, the world's largest luxury vehicle manufacturer, and the second largest truck manufacturer. The most well-known product of this company is Mercedes-Benz!

If Tesla gets investment from Daimler, then Tesla will definitely enjoy some of Daimler's resource channels and some of Daimler's high-end user groups.

People who buy Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily rich people, but rich people have either become Mercedes-Benz customers or Mercedes-Benz target customers.

The new energy vehicles produced by Tesla are also targeted at high-income groups. For the first two-door coupe they just launched, the price is as high as $ 110,000, which is still a loss. In the case of the manufacturing cost of ten thousand dollars, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say a luxury car.

Daimler and Tesla, one requires new energy technologies, and one requires funding and customers. Their combination will inevitably have a profound impact on both sides.

Wenming doesn't remember that in another world, Tesla was turned to safety by Daimler's $ 50 million, but whether he remembered it or not, it had no effect on him.

Because, when he felt that he would win Tesla, Daimler would not be able to successfully invest in Tesla.

"That is to say, even if I get your shares, and then propose a capital increase and dilution of equity based on Tesla's funding problems, and even the purpose of transferring the highest decision-making power will be completely defeated by Daimler's investment ? "

Wen Ming said what Martin Abelhard wanted to express, and then waited for the answer.

Martin Abelhard nodded and said, "In the current situation, this is indeed the case. Because Elon Muskow is an arbitrary man, he has never been willing to succumb to others, and he is not willing to look at him. Future into the hands of others. "

Wenming didn't care much about what Elon Muscu was like. He frowned and asked, "How many Tesla shares do you have?"

Martin Abhard replied: "I own 29%, and my other partner, Mark Tappenning, owns 8%, and I am confident to convince him to sell his Tesla stake because he is also Elon Musk expelled Tesla. "

The true founders of Tesla are Martin Abhard and Mark Tappenning. They founded Tesla and did not have the money to develop the company. Elon Muscu invested $ 6.3 million in 2004. Successfully became the chairman of Tesla and the highest decision maker.

(Ps: I'm sorry, but I can't find the equity allocation at that time. All the above are true, except for the amount of equity, including 6.3 million US dollars.)

Wen Ming thought for a moment and said: "That is to say, I can get 37% of Tesla shares, but if Daimler is willing to inject capital, the 10% shares will be between me and Elon Mas Treasury shares are diluted together. In other words, I only have 32% of Tesla shares, and still do not have the highest decision-making power. "

Martin Eberhard nodded and said, "Yes, and because of the $ 50 million capital injection, you will not find a reason to ask for a capital increase, which means there is no way to dilute their equity and then increase your Equity. "

Wen Ming sighed in his heart. He didn't feel that it was difficult to acquire Tesla, but he felt that the money was really well earned.

To what extent can Tesla be valued in the future?

Although it is not comparable to Facebook, it is absolutely no problem to reach 60 billion US dollars. Even if he bought Martin Abelhard and his other partner's shares at a premium of 30%, it only cost $ 240 million, and 37% of Tesla's shares, even if diluted by 5%, The value in the future can reach 19.2 billion US dollars.

In less than ten years, the $ 240 million has become $ 19.2 billion. This kind of business is even envious of Bill Gates.

Moreover, Wenming is very willing to increase capital to dilute his equity. He is much richer than Elon Muskow, especially in cash. If he starts to dilute funds, then he will definitely be able to get greater benefits.

If only pay attention to earning money, he can start buying shares directly.

But Wenming didn't want to make that 19.2 billion dollars, he wanted to make more money.

"I want to know when you can complete the equity transfer as soon as possible, and whether your shares will allow me to reject Daimler's capital injection."

Wenming's question is critical because a company wants to sell equity for development funds. The first person to sell must normally be a shareholder of the company. Only when the shareholder is unwilling to continue to inject capital will he switch to capital outside the company.

37% of the shares plus 10% of the investment of 50 million US dollars, that is 47% of the shares. In the course of Tesla's development, Wenming was very willing to use some means to put Tesla into a position where he must seek financing again.

By the time……

Martin Abelhard laughed. After speaking for so long, he finally had a certain degree of initiative.

"My speed depends on whether I can get a stake in Apple."

(Ps: I want to break this chapter, wow ha ha ha.)

This sentence made Wen Ming stunned, then laughed and said, "I only accept a premium of 30%. If this level of premium cannot satisfy you, I will be happy to take you to continue to visit the Jurassic Island, you know Yes, on this island, I can play for several days. Moreover, I also hope that I can use your vision of new energy vehicles to help me refer to some Tesla-like car companies. "

In the dialogue between the weak and the strong, the change of initiative can only be temporary. When the strong starts to lift the table, the weak has no control over how much initiative he has.

Wenming is not afraid that Martin Abelhard will not sell because he already has plans to acquire other electric car companies ~ www.readwn.com ~ Although only Tesla currently has a mature production line, but in the face of money, those who are not mature Production lines of new energy vehicle companies do not necessarily waste too much time.

The final decision was left to Martin Abdelhard, which means that the initiative is still in his hands, but is there any alternative for Martin Abdelhard?

Wanted to steal the chicken, but was pushed to the edge of the cliff.

Martin Abelhard looked at the young man who was still 20 years old in front of him, and reluctantly smiled and said, "If I can, I can sign a share transfer letter today. As for my other partner, He could sign a share transfer letter tomorrow at the earliest. "

Wenming was not ready to wait. Ye Changmeng knew the reason, so he immediately made Lilith contact Sith.

After confirming Martin Abelhard's lawyer through a video call, Wen Ming signed the equity transfer letter after there were no problems with the proof of equity materials.

At the same time, $ 188.5 million was also credited to Martin Abelhard's account.
