Musk suddenly realized that even he himself began to feel that what he said was nonsense.
Even because of Lin Feng's words, Musk began to doubt whether he should continue.
Maybe new energy vehicles are just a crazy idea of his, maybe Coster will not succeed at all?
What surprised Musk was Lin Feng's next words.
Lin Feng smiled at Musk and said, "Mr. Musk, you are right!"
"I came to you because even if the new energy vehicle industry faces countless difficulties, these difficulties can be overcome."
"I love challenges, and I am not very interested in industries that are stable and will definitely make money."
"On the contrary, I am happy to try these challenging new industries."
Musk felt that his mood at this moment was like riding a roller coaster.
The ups and downs of life come so quickly.
Musk looked at Lin Feng with surprise and asked, "So, Mr. Lin, have you decided to invest in Coster?"
"I can sell up to 20% of the shares in exchange for an investment of 130 million US dollars."
Musk knew how powerful Lin Feng was, so he directly quoted the bottom line of his price.
Unfortunately, Lin Feng wanted more than just 20% of the shares.
Lin Feng looked directly into Musk's eyes and said, "Mr. Musk, I said I love challenges."
"So I don't want to invest in Coster in exchange for 20% of the shares."
"What I want to do is to guide Coster to overcome all difficulties and become a pioneer and unicorn in the field of new energy vehicles."
"So, in fact, what I came to talk to you about today is not investment, but acquisition."
"I need at least 51% of Coster's equity."
"Or, you can also choose to sell me all your shares in Coster."
After hearing Lin Feng's words, Musk rejected it without thinking: "Acquisition? Impossible!"
"Besides, although I am the largest shareholder of Coster, I don't have 51% of the shares."
"How can I sell you more than 51% of Coster's shares?"
Although he led Coster's A round of investment, Musk's equity began to be diluted due to Coster's subsequent rounds of investment.
Now, although Musk is the largest shareholder, he only owns about 45% of the shares.
Therefore, Lin Feng's offer for 51% of Coster's shares to ensure absolute control was something that Musk could not agree to.
Previously, Musk proposed to sell 20% of the shares in exchange for an investment of 130 million US dollars.
This actually diluted the shares of all Coster's shareholders.
Investment and share transfer are two different things.
If Lin Feng completes the investment, Lin Feng will naturally obtain 20% of Coster's shares.
And Musk's original 45% of the shares will only be diluted to about 36%.
The equity of other Coster shareholders will be diluted at the same ratio.
For Musk, the shares are diluted to about 36% in exchange for 130 million US dollars, which is still very cost-effective!
However, it was not Musk's plan to let him sell all his shares in Coster.
If he really planned to give up Coster, he would not have been working hard to attract investment for more than a month.
Lin Feng anticipated Musk's reaction.
It was indeed very difficult for Musk to hand over Coster so easily.
However, Lin Feng also noticed the next sentence after Musk's refusal.
Musk was explaining that he did not have 51% of the shares, so he could not sell all these shares to him.
What does this mean?
In negotiation, this means that although Musk refused on the surface, he actually had a void in his heart.
Otherwise, he would not add the following sentence.
Musk's following sentence means that he has begun to consider the issue of selling shares.
Lin Feng smiled, he felt that he had pried open Musk's inner determination.
And as long as he tried harder, he might really have the determination to convince Musk.
Lin Feng continued to verbally confront Musk, saying, "Mr. Musk, you know that besides you, there are many shareholders in Coster who are considering selling their shares, right?"
"After all, if Coster doesn't get the next round of investment, it will go bankrupt, and you won't get a penny from your previous investment!"
"So, someone is here to take over at this time."
"I think many shareholders are willing to transfer their shares to me, even at a loss, right?"
Musk was not fooled by Lin Feng's words: "I am not considering selling my shares. "
"My current goal is to find the next round of investment."
"If Mr. Lin's purpose is not to invest, but to acquire my shares, we can end this conversation."
In Musk's view, Lin Feng has done so much homework on the new energy vehicle industry, which shows that Lin Feng is very interested in entering this industry!
And Lin Feng, like himself, must be very optimistic about the new energy vehicle industry.
Therefore, Musk believes that as long as he cuts off Lin Feng's hope of acquiring Coster, then Lin Feng is still likely to invest in Coster!
After all, although 20% of the shares are not as good as holding more than half of the shares to control the company.
But if Coster is really successful, this investment can still bring huge profits to Lin Feng!
So Musk believes that Lin Feng will definitely keep him, and then after a heated discussion between the two, Lin Feng will agree to invest.
However, what surprised Musk very much was that Lin Feng made a "see you off" gesture.
"Okay, since Mr. Musk does not intend to sell his shares, then please go back! "
"Thank you for your time! I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
This time it was Musk's turn to be confused.
He didn't expect Lin Feng to do this!
He said he wanted to leave, just to fool Lin Feng!
Why didn't Lin Feng keep him?
Musk found that he seemed to be embarrassed at this time.
If he left at this time, he would lose the best way to solve the problem of Coster's broken capital chain.
If he didn't leave, he had said so, could he still stick around?
As a well-known boss in the Internet industry and cutting-edge technology industry in the United States, Musk still has a lot of face.
However, in the past month, Musk has experienced The biggest setback in his life.
Originally, his friends, who he thought could help each other, rejected him one after another when they heard that he wanted to raise funds for Coster.
Some people were quite tactful and just told Musk that the new energy vehicle industry was simply a fantasy, and like Space Exploration Technology Company, it was a project that burned money but could not generate profits.
Some people directly ridiculed Musk, saying that Musk's plan to migrate to space or try to replace traditional cars were all fanciful and crazy things that only a madman would do.
At this time, Musk's previous high spirits had been exhausted.
