If you cheat, money will follow

In the afternoon of that day, Chang Xueqin did not go to Zhangzhou, but spent an afternoon discussing with Zeng Qi at Jiangzhou Bank.

One wants to borrow money, the other wants to borrow money, the pace and process are very fast.

In just one afternoon, the general framework and general details were finalized.

Next, Zeng Qi will form a team to go to Changning to provide door-to-door and follow-up services to ensure that the agreement is finalized and implemented as soon as possible.

The next day, Chang Le arranged a vehicle to take Chang Xueqin back to Changning, and then came to the company.

Zeng Xi has two things to report to Chang Le.

The first thing is that Tesla goes public.

Yes, Zeng Xi also invested in Tesla.

"Boss, Tesla will be listed on Nasdaq next month, and the other party invited us to ring the bell." Zeng Xi said.

"Ring the bell? It's up to you to decide." Chang Le said.

"Okay, boss. I'd better ask Zhao Zhiwei to come over. It's hard to refuse the other party's kind invitation directly." Zeng Xi said.

"Okay." Chang Le nodded.

Investing in Tesla was not Chang Le’s idea, but Zeng Xi’s.

When she went to the beautiful country to discuss Facebook shares with Xiao Zha, she met Musk who was "borrowing money" everywhere.

At this time, Musk had just taken over as CEO of Tesla, and the company's financial situation was very poor and on the verge of collapse.

Musk's words were powerful enough, and the bright prospects he created were very attractive. Zeng Xi was persuaded, lost tens of millions of dollars, and took away 20% of the shares.

A few years later, after multiple rounds of financing and refinancing, Zeng Xi increased his capital and kept his Tesla shares stable at 20%.

Finally, Musk fulfilled his promise and the listing is imminent. Zeng Xi is very happy.

From Chang Le's perspective, Tesla is a good investment target.

It is the first automobile company to successfully start a business and go public in the beautiful country in the past 50 years, and it has attracted much attention.

The stock price was US$17 when it was listed. Ten years after its listing, the stock price exceeded US$10, and its market value exceeded US$1000 trillion.

However, the process was less than satisfactory.

It has been on the market for 10 years and has suffered losses for 10 years. It is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy or not. The amount of losses is as high as 420 billion U.S. dollars, with an average loss of 42 billion U.S. dollars every year.

It was not until 20 years ago that real full-year profits were achieved.

However, a car manufacturer does not rely on selling cars to make profits, but on selling carbon credits.

With such performance, it is no wonder that it has become a concentration camp for short sellers.

Greenlight Capital, Knicks United Fund, Stanfield Capital, Morgan Carey Capital, VILAS Capital, Muddy Waters, Citron... and other well-known short-selling capitals have come and gone in the past 10 years.

You finish singing and I will appear on stage, adopting an attitude that will not give up until Tesla dies in vain.

Musk is truly the chosen one, with a very tough destiny.

Borrowing money from everywhere to survive the production hell, thus turning the short-selling concentration camp into a short-selling crematorium. All the above-mentioned capital suffered losses from short selling, and no one was spared.

How grateful should he be to Lingang Factory?

From Chang Le's perspective, Tesla is not a good investment target.

In 18, under the balance of financial terror, the King of Understanding came to power. He has a changeable style and diverse thinking. He governs the country through Twitter and does whatever he wants.

Chang Le was very doubtful whether the money he invested could be realized and returned.

He can already imagine what measures the authorities might take if Tesla's market value is at a high level and Leda wants to cash out.

Confiscated? freeze? Floor price transfer?

"Okay, what about the second thing?" Chang Le asked.

"Boss, I just received a reminder from the relevant departments that several commercial spies were captured near the Beijiao Materials Factory." Zeng Xi said:

"After interrogation, the main purpose was to steal our ceramic aluminum material preparation method."

"Relevant departments and the garrison have reminded us to strengthen our alert and take precautions."

"Oh? This is what we expected before, but it happened a little fast. Does Liu Chaodong know?" Chang Le asked.

"He already knows, but he said that even if the other party enters the material factory, he will not get any useful information and materials." Zeng Xi said:

"Because the most core materials and compounds are not in the factory, but in the neighbors of the factory."

The neighbor refers to the military garrison.

"I know this, but I still have to remind him not to be careless." Chang Le said.

"Okay, I will remind him." Zeng Xi nodded.

"Do you know which countries these spies are from?" Chang Le asked.

"We have already been interrogated, and they are all from the Foot Basin Country." Zeng Xi replied:

"They do have enough motivation. According to relevant data, Lexing has been selling well since its launch, and the market share it has captured is basically their market share, which has directly led to a sharp decline in their main models for three consecutive months. Other brands have not been affected. big."

"This shows that Leda Auto's pricing strategy is appropriate and successful." Chang Le said.

"Yes, the strong sales situation has boosted Yu Chengdong's confidence. He plans to continue this pricing strategy on his next car and seize the other party's B-class car market." Zeng Xi said.

"Well, it's necessary to beat up the drowned dog." Chang Le nodded.

In a certain company in a certain country, the scene changed from a laboratory to an office.

"President, the personnel we sent were arrested by the other party's security agency. When the other party's methods failed, they explained everything about the situation almost immediately. The situation is now very passive."

"..."

"Now, the other party is questioning our diplomatic department through formal channels, asking for a reasonable explanation and taking sincere measures to avoid similar situations from happening."

"..."

"Several cooperations under negotiation have been temporarily suspended. Our foreign affairs department is very dissatisfied with the company and requires a formal report to be submitted within 7 days, and the relevant personnel will be strictly held accountable."

"Didn't our personnel just be sent here not long ago? It's only been three days so far? Where did they show their flaws?"

"President, according to reliable information, the personnel we sent were not directly captured by the other party's security personnel."

"Huh? Who captured that?"

"It's a footbath technician."

"..."

"After they got off the plane and checked into a local hotel, they immediately went to the hotel custom shop."

"In the custom shop, he spoke casually, did not pay attention to the occasion, and accidentally revealed relevant information."

"It was a coincidence that the technician who served them had learned our language for a while, mastered the key words, and then reported..."

"Bang!" The purple clay pot was thrown to the ground hard, the tea leaves were scattered on the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere.

"Asshole! Which bastard is in charge of this job? Why not send elites instead of idiots like this? This is really a shame! What a shame!"

"Report to the president! Personnel dispatch has always been under the responsibility of Executive Ikeda, and the General Affairs Division will implement it."

"You call him over right now... No! No need to call him. Go over and tell him to pack his things and get out immediately. I don't want to see him in the company again."

"In addition, when you reply to the official, say that this incident was made by our company's executive, Ikeda, on his own, and that none of the company's senior officials, including me, knew about it."

"..."

"Such behavior seriously violates the company's articles of association and affects the company's image. According to the company's relevant regulations, Ikeda has been fired."

"Our company deeply apologizes for the trouble it has caused to your department and will strengthen management in the follow-up work to avoid similar situations from happening."

"In addition, I would like to suggest that Ikeda's arbitrary actions have tarnished our country's external image. It is recommended that he be criminally dealt with in accordance with relevant provisions. If necessary, our company will actively cooperate and fully support him and cite relevant criminal evidence."

"..."

"Understand?"

"Yes, President! I'll make arrangements right away. Does the plan still need to go ahead?"

"Are you stupid? We are on the cusp of the storm and need some time to cool down."

"But it can be planned in detail and carefully laid out internally. This material is vital to the company and the nation and must be obtained. If necessary, relevant special agencies can be contacted to cooperate together."

"Yes!"
