My Age of Investment

"Richard, did you see that? This is the charm of new energy vehicles. Tesla Model S sold 3,000 units in just three days after it was launched.

Before pre-selling Model S, Tesla had just received investment from Daimler and Toyota, with a post-investment valuation of US$1.55 billion.

So what is its current valuation?

$2 billion! And this is the lowest offer from many investment institutions.

My friends, new energy vehicles have become popular!

Investing in this industry now can reap unimaginable huge profits in the future. "

In an office in Anaheim, Orange County, California, blond Henryk Fiske pointed at the computer screen and emphatically described the prospects of new energy vehicles to a middle-aged Asian man.

Fisker knew the identity of the man in front of him, and he believed that as long as he successfully convinced the man, Fisker Automobile Company would not be short of development funds in the future.

Li Yikai ignored Fisk and stared at the computer screen.

A video is playing on the screen, Tesla Model S pre-sale conference.

Seeing Xia Jingxing standing on the stage with high spirits, Li Yikai felt jealous and angry.

As a graduate of Stanford University, he once had a dream of the technology industry and put it into action.

But unfortunately, real estate on Hong Kong Island was so tempting that he couldn't help but turned Hong Kong Island's Silicon Valley into countless villas and high-rise apartments.

A few days ago, while he was accompanying the child in Canada, he learned about the pre-sale launch of Tesla Model S and felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing that Xia Jingxing had made outstanding achievements in a major field again, he had nothing to do with this enemy. Apart from a few curse words, he could not bring any substantial harm to Xia Jingxing. .

Li Yikai had already forgotten about this matter, but a friend suddenly recommended an electric car project to him.

So, Li Yikai left his girlfriend who was about to give birth and came to California to see the project.

How to take revenge on Xia Jingxing?

Li Yikai has his own strategy.

On Hong Kong Island, their family's Lai Kee Whampoa Telecommunications cooperated with Wisdom Fruit to snipe Fuxing Mobile;

In the mainland, a fierce battle between Penguin, which he invested in, and Overseas Holdings is in full swing;

If in the United States, Xia Jingxing's industrial base set up another cannon and aimed at Xia Jingxing and blasted him hard.

Then his ambush from all sides is basically in place.

Although he hates Xia Jingxing, Li Yikai still has basic sense and business judgment.

Like Facebook, which cannot be attacked by Yahoo or Google, he does not dare to cause trouble.

Because even if he invests or starts a social networking site, he will definitely not be able to do Facebook.

However, Xia Jingxing's other industrial positions are not so secure and are relatively easy to break.

Li Yikai planned to specifically target these weak industries and pull out Xia Jingxing's minions one by one.

At the same time, he had to admit that Xia Jingxing was very discerning and the industries he selected had great potential.

He invested in a company specifically to compete with Xia Jingxing. Revenge was only part one, and the other part could also bring huge returns on investment.

Although the industries he is currently investing in are still losing money, he, Li Yikai, is the one who gives up lightly.

He didn't believe it. Xia Jingxing had laid out so many industries and never missed a single one.

As long as he wins once, he can vent his anger and recover all the previous losses.

"Mr. Fisker, as far as I know, your company does not make pure electric vehicles. How can you compete with Tesla?"

Li Yikai's question was very pointed. After all, he was not a real "Kaizi" and would not be easily persuaded or paid by Fisk with just a few words.

Fisker smiled, "Our first model, the Karma, is a four-door large hybrid sports car. The reason why we chose hybrid power is because I firmly believe that now is not the time to actively develop pure electric vehicles."

Li Yikai sneered, "Tesla sold 3,000 vehicles in three days. Don't you admire them very much?"

Fisker explained unhurriedly: “What I admire is the new energy vehicle industry, not Tesla.

It was the breakthrough in new energy technology that gave Tesla the opportunity to shock the industry.

But their good luck ends here, and Tesla will definitely encounter big trouble and a major crisis. "

Upon hearing this, Li Yikai couldn't sit still and asked: "What crisis?"

"Crisis of bankruptcy!"

Fisker smiled coldly, "Tesla was smart and chose to make pure electric vehicles from the very beginning. However, they have never thought about the problems after the pure electric vehicles are sold?"

Seeing Fisk's appearance as a wise man who had seen through everything, Li Yikai was completely intrigued and said with admiration: "What problems will there be after selling it?"

"The problem of long-distance travel! What should I do if the battery runs out? Charging in the wilderness? I can only get down and push the car home!"

Fisk remembered the "advice" he gave Darren before.

I persuaded the other party to build a hybrid car, but they refused to listen and insisted on building a pure electric car.

Grain worm

Still too young!

I got a little excited and went further and further down the wrong path of pure electric vehicles.

Thinking of this, Fisk couldn't help but feel a little proud.

If Tesla chooses to change tracks and enter the hybrid field, Fisker Automobiles will undoubtedly face a strong enemy.

To ensure his own safety, he could only teach Darren one lesson.

Li Yikai looked thoughtful and asked, "Are you talking about the charging network problem?"

Fiske smiled and said: "Yes, there are no charging stations on the highway, and if the car runs out of power, it can only wait for rescue.

Although Tesla claims to be able to run more than 300 or 400 kilometers, it is actually false advertising and misleading consumers.

The cruising range they marked was actually achieved under the most ideal speed and road conditions.

In actual driving, consumers will find that the cruising range will be dozens of kilometers or even hundreds of kilometers shorter.

Generally, if a car has a driving range of less than 100 kilometers, car owners will no longer dare to drive it and need to recharge it. Otherwise, breaking down on the roadside will be a big trouble.

Subtracting these two items, Tesla's real cruising range is only more than 100 kilometers, or at most 200 kilometers.

With such a short battery life, you can only run around in cities and places close to home. If you run too far, you won't be able to come back.

Think about it, is such a car practical? "

Li Yikai thought for a while, felt it made sense, and nodded quickly.

Seeing that the former richest man in Asia, Fisker was thinking little by little, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "Hybrid cars are different. Our usage scenarios and practicality are much stronger than Tesla's."

"But Tesla still sold 3,000 vehicles."

Seeing that Li Yikai kept insisting on this issue, Fisk had no choice but to explain a few more words.

“Darren is very good at marketing, and it’s normal for some rich people to pursue Tesla, but you have to believe that there are not so many fools in the world.

After that period of freshness passed, Tesla could only be reduced to a niche product, and then continued to lose money until it went bankrupt. "

Li Yikai shook his head, "Dylan Xia holds at least tens of billions of dollars in cash. He will not let Tesla fall easily."

"That's not a loss that he can't bear, and a loss that's not enough to make him despair.

He doesn't care if he loses $100 million;

Losing 1 billion US dollars made him feel a little sick;

With a loss of US$5 billion, he could only shed tears to stop the loss. "

Fisk's words made Li Yikai laugh. He secretly thought that this seemed to be a good way to bleed Xia Jingxing.

“Tesla’s sales will stagnate at a few thousand or 10,000 vehicles per year and never go up again.

Fisker will grow bigger and bigger, with annual sales exceeding 10,000, 50,000, and 100,000 vehicles.

Our ultimate goal is to become a universal player in the field of new energy! "

Li Yikai coughed and reminded in a low voice: "GM is going bankrupt."

Fisker looked embarrassed and changed his words: "GM is too static, which is why we are in this situation.

The emergence of new energy technology has actually brought an opportunity for the automotive industry to reshuffle. In the future, new energy vehicle companies with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars will be born. "

The figure of US$100 billion impressed Li Yikai a little. He smiled and asked: "How much does Fisker plan to raise?"

Fisker knew the fish had taken the bait and smiled lightly, "We are actually not short of money. Not long after Tesla received a $500 million loan from the Department of Energy, we also received a $528 million loan from the Department of Energy. In terms of amount, it is even more than them.

In addition, 3,000 fans, including Hollywood star Leonardo, have placed orders for our Karma cars.

Silicon Valley venture capital institutions are planning to invest $600 million in us.

If you want to invest, you can invest a little behind them, but the share will not be too much. "

Seeing Fisk's arrogant look, Li Yikai was not only not angry, but also relieved.

"Mr. Fisk, if I bid the highest, can our family lead the investment, or even be the sole investor?"

Li Yikai showed his courage. After all, the U.S. Department of Energy dared to issue a loan of more than 500 million US dollars to Fisker Automobile, so he had nothing to worry about with an equity investment of 600 million US dollars.

Fisk sighed and smiled bitterly, "Richard, your request makes me very embarrassed! Forget it, give me some time to think about it."

Li Yikai was secretly surprised that he didn't want any investment that came to his door. It seemed that there was really no shortage of investors!

"Okay, now that you've thought about it carefully, you can call me at any time."

Li Yikai smiled, shook hands with Fisk, turned and left.

When he reached the door, he turned back and said: "Mr. Fiske, our family foundation has been looking for high-quality companies that can grow into world giants.

If Fisker Automotive wants to become a world-class giant in the field of new energy vehicles, then the support of long-term large funds will be indispensable on its growth path. "

Fisk understood what the other party meant and smiled, "I will consider it carefully!"
