Back to 1995

Chapter 771
The world of the Internet has become more and more incomprehensible to people in Silicon Valley. The wall is changing too fast.

Think about it, a few years ago, at that time, Anderson and Song Yang were not to say they were rivals, but everyone agreed that they would be rivals in the Internet industry for many years to come, just like Bill Guy Both Ci and Larry Ellison dislike each other, but they can't kill each other.

But who would have imagined that in the past few years, the two people who were considered enemies would suddenly join hands!
"Siebel Electric Vehicle Company announced that in the next ten years, it will build top-level electric vehicles, and declares that it will establish production bases in Texas, Mexico, Asia and other places. The annual production of vehicles in the future will exceed 50 vehicles. In 20 to [-] years, it will completely replace traditional cars..."

ICNC TV station reported that the initial investment in Xibel electric vehicles exceeded one billion dollars, which sounds bluffing, indicating that Song Yang is "really" leaving the Internet industry and doing a big job in other industries up.

Then there was a burst of bragging. This bragging made all the melon-eaters a little dumbfounded. Siebel electric cars really dare to brag. An electric car company that even rents out its brand even threatened to replace traditional cars.

It’s still true, the establishment of several major production centers around the world, watching the report of ICNC TV station, people who don’t know, will think that whether electric vehicles are in the automotive industry, they will be dominated by one company.

Although there was no direct report, ICNC TV still "hinted" that Song Yang would invest a large sum of dollars in Siebel electric vehicles in the future.

Then came the news that the Siebel Automobile Club officially announced the establishment of an F1 team, preparing to acquire a small F1 team, and then enter F1 to participate in the competition.

Then there is Siebel Electric Vehicle, which began to poach people everywhere, with salaries 30% higher than those offered by major auto giants, or even double the salary. They poached designers and engineers from major auto companies everywhere. There are professional engineers such as engines and chassis, and they are even poached by Siebel crazily.

A large sum of money was poured down, and the entire automobile industry was tossed about by the Siebel electric car.

At the same time, the news that Song Yang was going to leave the Internet was full of rumors. Even if the North American Global Investment Foundation refuted the rumors, Song Yang would not leave the Internet. The investment in electric vehicles was no different from the past.

It’s okay if you don’t refute the rumors, the more you refute the rumors, the more so, and Song Yang’s large sum of cash from the Internet makes people feel that this is the truth.

"Electric vehicles, are they really the next trend?!"

On Wall Street, everyone was a little bluffed by Song Yang's big money. Goldman Sachs headquarters, Paulson also recruited analysts from the auto industry from the Goldman Sachs securities department.

Uneasy, John Molina walked into Paulson's office. He is indeed a professional analyst in the auto industry, and he is quite well-known in the industry.

However, the automobile industry has long been recognized as a sunset industry, at least in the eyes of major investment banks. After all, the global automobile industry can directly calculate how much it can produce, how much it can sell, and how much it can earn. There is no room for hype at all, but you can... short several major auto giants, because these giant companies are losing money every year!

Even the auto industry is like this. Molina, an analyst in the auto industry, is no wonder he can be treated well.

In the past, my uncle didn’t love people my grandma didn’t love. Today, I suddenly received a call from Paulson and Goldman Sachs executives who wanted to see him. John Molina felt his scalp tingling. Of course he knew that he was looking for him. For what.

But if you want to venture into electric vehicles, Molina can analyze it. He is studying traditional vehicles, which are not compatible with new energy vehicles!
Bite the bullet and came to Paulson's office, Molina saw Paulson, several directors of Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs investment department manager Pellet Greene, and his immediate boss, the general manager of the securities department. Managers are all in the office.

As soon as he came in, all the eyes in the office were on Molina, especially the eyes of Paulson sitting in the middle of the office. The kind of substantive pressure made Molina feel the pressure from Wall Street No. 1 sense of oppression.

For more than a year, not to mention the investment income that Paulson brought to Goldman Sachs from other industries, ICQ alone made Goldman Sachs 300 billion US dollars, which made no one in Goldman Sachs dare to challenge Ball again. Sen's status, the Goldman Sachs board of directors is not qualified!
After looking at Molina a few times, Paulson finally said, "Molina, right?"

After the meeting, Paulson asked directly, "What do you think of the electric vehicle industry?"

Molina is a bit big-headed, this thing, let alone him, except for the lunatics in Silicon Valley who want money and life, there are several Wall Street investment banks who study this thing.

But when asked by Paulson, Molina had to say, "Not sure yet!"

Paulson's gaze became sharp again, and Molina knew that he had to say something at this time, not to make Paulson think he was a waste, otherwise those who were waiting for him would definitely pack up and leave.

At Goldman Sachs, we believe in Paulson’s 20/80 rule, that is, the entire Goldman Sachs’ income is created by these [-]% of the staff, and the other [-]% are dispensable and can be blown away. It actually does.

"I haven't studied the electric vehicle industry yet, so I don't know if this industry is really as good as Siebel Electric Vehicles said!

However, no matter whether it is an electric car or a traditional car, the car cycle cannot be bypassed, and it will take time. I don't think electric cars will become mainstream within at least ten years! "

Molina's words made Paulson and other executives frown. They don't know whether to believe Molina, an insider's judgment, or to believe that Siebel Electric Vehicle can make things happen again.

"However, in the future, electric vehicles may become a type of automobile industry, and for a long time, electric vehicles will coexist with traditional vehicles.

If this can be achieved, the electric vehicle led by Siebel will set off a new wave of the automobile industry, reshape and define the entire automobile industry, and giant companies may also appear in electric vehicles, but this process will take many years... ..."

To become an analyst at Goldman Sachs, Molina still has a few brushes. With experience, he can analyze the future pattern of the auto industry in a comprehensive manner.

Paulson was silent for a while. He believed Molina's judgment. It was obvious that electric vehicles would not be able to replace traditional vehicles within a few years.

But if you don't invest in Siebel electric cars, remember that the cooperation between Goldman Sachs and Song Yang in the past few years has made a lot of money. If you miss it this time, Paulson is afraid that he will regret it for the rest of his life.

"Go to Siebel Electric Vehicles and tell them that Goldman Sachs is willing to invest in Siebel Electric Vehicles!"

Paulson said to his confidant, Pellet Greene, that he was going to try the water first, and then invest in the Siebel electric car. Anyway, he couldn't be kicked out.

A party was being held in a villa in Los Angeles. Laurent, the agent who rushed over from Italy, saw that the people who walked in and out of the villa were all Hollywood stars. He couldn't help being excited. He finally came to Hollywood!
