Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 145: The Capitalist

The capital market is cruel, and both Martin Eberhard and Elon Musk are very clear about this.

Because of the capital, Elon Musk can drive Martin Eberhard out of the Tesla he created, and because of the capital, Martin Eberhard now has no say in the Tesla he created.

However, in the past 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, if Elon Musku can develop Tesla very well, then Martin Eberhard will have no way of revenge in his life. In the development history of Tesla in another world, although there have been many crises, they were all resolved by Elon Musk.

But in this world, there is a Wen Ming who is spying on Tesla.

Don't forget, even if you sell your shares to Apple, based on the agreement we signed before, even if he owns your shares, he won't have any say in the company.

Elon Musku looked at Martin Eberhard with a calm face and said this sentence, but in fact, his heart had already caused very big waves.

Martin Eberhard sneered, and said: Yes, Apple owns my shares, and they have no right to speak or make decisions. However, that is based on the normal development of the company.

After a pause, Martin Eberhard looked into Elon Musk's eyes and said with gritted teeth: However, the company is now at risk of breaking the capital chain and falling into a crisis of trust from users. After Apple got my shares, what should they do if they propose a capital increase?

Capital increase is a common method in the capital market where big fish eat small fish. After a consortium takes a stake in a company, it does not require any absolute controlling stake, which seems very humane. But in fact, they can put that company into financial crisis, or propose some investment projects that require high capital.

At this time, if the other shareholders of that company are unable to come up with the funds to turn the company from danger to safety, then the consortium will take the money.

This is not to do good deeds, but to seize the shares of the company.

I took the money, you can't take it out, and after I take the money, the company's valuation will increase. So, should your shares be properly diluted?

Once, twice, or three times, when the shares of other shareholders are diluted to the point where they have no right to speak, the consortium will use means to transfer the company's property, or directly go public and cash out.

This is the cruelty of the capital market, and it is also a means for many consortiums disguised as angel investment to plunder wealth and ideas.

This is what Elon Musk is most worried about now.

But the threat of Martin Eberhard is not over yet, he smiled very happily at this time, when he just cooperated with Elon Musk, he always thought that Elon Musk was an angel. But when Elon Musk kicked him out of Tesla later, he saw Elon Musk as a demon, a demon who robbed him of his dreams.

You have no money now. I have checked your financial situation. As far as I know, you only have less than 100 million US dollars. How much money do you think Apple has? Or, the genius boss of Apple , how much money do you have?

The two people in the conversation at this time are undoubtedly geniuses, but when they called the genius boss of Apple, they didn't have the slightest other emotions, as if they were describing the sun rising from the east every day.

In fact, in Silicon Valley, where Tesla is headquartered, any high-tech company that is admired by countless people has already recognized the founder of Apple as a genius. Although Apple is not in Silicon Valley, people in Silicon Valley believe that Apple will come back to Silicon Valley one day according to the high-tech business that Apple is currently engaged in.

The main reason, of course, is that none of them knew about Apple's plans for a spaceship headquarters.

Elon Musku's heart suddenly calmed down, and he even laughed.

Do you think that young man who is less than twenty years old can take Tesla away from me? Do you think he really knows how capital works?

This is strategic contempt for the enemy,

In fact, Elon Musk attaches great importance to Apple, not only because Apple is rich, but also because of the genius design concepts, product ideas, etc. that Apple has shown so far.

If it wasn't for Apple's opening to buy his Tesla, he would definitely welcome Apple's shareholding in Tesla, and he could even reduce the offer he said to a certain extent.

You know, Apple now has more than 20 million users, and how many of these users can become Tesla users? What's more, the incremental increase of users will always show a growth trend when there are no problems with the product.

I'm sorry to tell you good news. I have already contacted Mr. XX from Toyota. He will come to our company for inspection in the next two days, and he is willing to accept 50 million US dollars in exchange for a 10% share agreement.

This is to pay attention to the enemy tactically. Elon Musk told Martin Eberhard the news before signing an agreement with the other party. The purpose was to stabilize Martin Eberhard.

Because of the third-party shareholding, it will be difficult for Apple to dilute Elon Musk's equity by means of capital increase, and then seize Tesla.

Besides, is Toyota rich?

Judging from the market value recognized by the whole world, Toyota is indeed richer than Apple, which only a small number of people agree with.

Martin Eberhard lost his temper for a moment. He really didn't expect Elon Musk to move so fast.

Don't be too happy, now, it depends on which of us moves faster.

After dropping a word, Martin Eberhard rushed out of Elon Musk's office directly.

In the office lobby outside the office, those Tesla employees are still in a state of panic. They have to worry that the company has no money. Although they can still pay wages, they have lost their future.

If there is no money for research and development, there will be no new products, and the newly launched products will lose their customer base, let alone occupy the market.

Moreover, there are many conflicts between the two founders of the company. Although they couldn't hear the communication in the office just now, judging from Martin Eberhard's expression at this time, there must have been a big quarrel .

Don't mention the panic in Tesla, and don't mention that Elon Musk immediately picked up the phone to contact Mr. XX of Toyota after Martin Eberhard left.

After Martin Eberhard left Tesla, he drove his Lotus sports car directly to the airport.

This Lotus sports car was presented by Lotus Motors, because when Tesla decided to make a pure electric sports car, only the Lotus sports car in the world was willing to pay attention to them.

Of course, his Lotus sports car is still a gasoline car.

On the way to the airport, Martin Eberhard called his lawyer.

Prepare the Tesla equity information I own, and then book the earliest flight to Boston. I'm on my way now.

The lawyer was puzzled and asked, Why do you want to go to Boston?

Martin Eberhard replied calmly: I want to sell all my shares to Apple.

Compared with the anger he showed in Tesla, he is very calm at this time. How can he be a person who is irritable because of his emotions?

Everything just now was just to put more pressure on Elon Musku.

After hesitating for a while, the lawyer asked, Are you really going to sell it? If you sell it at this time, the price may be very unsatisfactory.

Martin Eberhard laughed and said, It doesn't matter whether you sell it or not, the important thing is that I want to sell it.
