Chapter 20 How to Forget Us
Until he returned home, Feng Yiping couldn't help laughing. No matter what Musk thought, Tesla really belongs to him now, and the main characters at the beginning were also there, and the conditions were so good at the beginning, so there was no reason not to be bad. ←,
"Why are you so shallow?" He rubbed the corners of his mouth that had been rising.
Now he is the richest man in the mainland. He has such a big group and has two companies listed on Nasdaq under his name. He is also the third largest individual shareholder of Google, a big star in the future technology industry. This is just another company. How can he be so happy that he can't even close his mouth?
Isn't that happy to invest in Google successfully?
Of course, this is indeed different from his investment in Google. He is a shareholder of Google, but he is not the founder, nor is he the chairman who controls absolute equity. When people mention Google, they think more about Page and Brin, rather than Feng Yiping.
Therefore, no matter how he rubs it, he can't help laughing.
It’s actually not his fault for being shallow. I can only say that the sense of accomplishment is different by including Tesla, a very well-known company that was later included.
To give a simple metaphor, in reality, there are many more beautiful than those female stars in Hollywood, but unknown girls, but conquering a well-known Hollywood female star is naturally more fulfilling than getting a girl who is more beautiful than her - this is Feng Yiping's current state.
"Very smooth?" Huang Jingping didn't have to look up, she could hear it by just listening to Feng Yiping's footsteps.
"Yes, it made me feel a little unbelievable. Musk did not have a very tough request to get most of the equity, haha,"
"I think it may be that they don't have confidence in this project," said Huang Jingping. "Anyway, you are the chairman of the car company, right? Yiping, I am really happy for you! Also, I will also customize a unique car in the future,"
"No problem" Feng Yiping hugged her and his daughter. Huang Jingping's words woke him up. Indeed, the others may not have the confidence in Tesla as they did.
In other words, they have confidence and enthusiasm, but they do not know Tesla's future clearly.
Yes, except for Feng Yiping, including Musk, how could they be sure that Tesla will succeed, and that is so successful?
Only one concept car was launched, and the price was announced, which made hundreds of thousands of people around the world make crazy reservations and receive merciless deposits. 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, he is not clear about it.
For example, why didn’t Musk seek more equity? Because he now, although he feels that Tesla will have many difficulties in success, he is still very optimistic, but he is not as optimistic as his spacex.
People are complex and multi-faceted, Feng Yiping is no exception, and Musk is no exception.
Although he may have been influenced by so many science fiction novels he read when he was a child, he had the intention to explore space since he was a child, but to say that he established spacex just for his own ideals and all mankind, it would be really a bit one-sided and innocent.
The establishment of Spacex originated from a crazy idea Musk had before. He planned a project for a Mars oasis in 2001. To put it simply, it was to send a small experimental greenhouse to Mars and plant crops on Mars.
To this end, in order to reduce costs, he went to Russia twice to try to buy a refurbished launch vehicle from Russian aerospace companies.
When he first went there in October 2001, he suffered from contempt from Russian aerospace departments and rocket designers because of his whimsical imagination and lack of relevant professional knowledge.
After he returned home, he made up for his knowledge of this. He went to Russia again in February 2002. This time, he finally stopped talking funny words. He proposed to buy three refurbished rockets, but the Russian bid was too high, which made him leave the seat angrily.
After a lot of effort, I ran twice, but I didn't get any gains. Musk, who was very unhappy, had an idea on his flight back to the United States, why didn't I make it myself?
He immediately calculated that the rocket's raw material cost was less than 3% of the quotation. Through vertical integration and module methods, he could reduce the rocket launch cost to 10%, which means that as long as he can successfully develop the research and development, the gross profit margin of this industry can be as high as more than 70%!
To put it bluntly, the big reason for his establishment of Spacex is due to the gross profit margin of 70%. If the profit in this industry is meager, then Musk, who has had a dream of aerospace since childhood, would probably not have entered this industry.
This is the same as the richest man in China who later talked about entrepreneurship, saying that it was to help small and medium-sized companies. Objectively, this may really have effect, but subjectively, it is definitely to make money. As long as it is a business, it is to make money, and the rest is just a side.
He is a fool like Feng Yiping who invests huge amounts of money in Wuliao. He is not a fool subjectively to make money. He is probably the only one in the world.
So in Musk's opinion, it is difficult for both companies to succeed, but can Tesla be so high with a 70% gross profit? Moreover, he is also a major shareholder of Spacex and enjoys most of the income the company will bring in the future. In terms of investment, he is of course biased towards his own business - I believe he will regret it in the future.
In short, no matter what, Feng Yiping got control of Tesla. In this way, he had greater decision-making power in some supporting options and the later establishment of a production plant outside the United States... Anyway, it was a good thing.
…………
Google, Feng Yiping stood in the corridor, reminding the guy who would hit him next, "Hey!"
Mayer, wearing a blue sleeveless skirt, looked up from the documents in his hand, "Yo, Director Feng, why are you free today?"
This woman!
"Didn't you not see you for a few days? I miss you very much? Then I came to see you specially,"
"Okay," Mayerliso closed the folder in his hand and stroked his hair back. "I have time tonight. You said, where are we going to date?"
He was teased but was teased. Faced with such a tough female Hanzi, Feng Yiping once again and again, "Oh, Page, are you looking for me?"
Looking at Feng Yiping, who had become a child's father, and ran away with a wry smile. Mayer smiled domineeringly, "I'm just a questionable guy who has no courage"!
Page is still busy with a flying state, with a beard on his face, but now he finally knows that with the benefits of Schmidt and his team, if it weren't for them, he would have taken up all his working hours before the market. How could he have time to do research and development now?
"Man, you have to be careful of your health," Feng Yiping followed him into the office and saw a piece of sandwich that had not been finished 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 let it go occasionally,"
"Feng, because Brin and I are very busy, Schmidt is now responsible for the preliminary preparations for the listing, but you know, I still hope you can get involved,"
Maybe it was because of my own that Page and the others were still not very harmonious with Schmidt. Of course, in the original time and space, their relationship was not as good as the outside world imagined.
"You have successfully led both companies to go public, and now you have performed very well and have a lot of successful experiences, so please give me your advice,"
Feng Yiping agreed readily, "No problem,"
Google's listing is closely related to me, so of course I have to pay attention to it.
"Where is the research and development progress?" he asked.
Page shook his hand, "It's a good progress, and it's expected to be online at the end of the year,"
"Haha, 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," Bulin jumped out of nowhere and patted Feng Yiping on his shoulder. Feng Yiping looked at it, even Bulin had a beard. It seemed that they were really hard work. "Thank you guys!"
"We enjoy this kind of work," Bryn picked up the sandwich on the coffee table and stuffed it in his mouth. "I heard that you and Musk have set up an electric car company called Tesla? Why don't you call us for such a meaningful thing?"
Page, who had already started working in front of the computer, stopped after hearing this, "Yes, I forgot to say just now, why didn't we call us this? Oh, you had this plan when you invested in ACP,"
"Yes, I also want the future world to not be so polluted," Feng Yiping smiled.
He really forgot that they were very interested in electric cars. It turned out that Tesla launched the first seven roadster electric cars, Page and Brin were the owners of two of them. Later, they also invested huge sums of money in Tesla.
"You are too busy, I really forgot, but it doesn't matter. When you are still interested in the next batch of financing, you will definitely give priority to your investment,"
"Why are you not interested? Of course you are interested! Also, you must remember that we are going to be the owners of the first batch of cars," (To be continued.)
