Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon
Vol 5 Chapter 15: Our team just opened
"Look at you, the whole body of alcohol," Huang Jingping brought a cup of tea, "looks at your appearance, you should have a good conversation, why do you still drink so much?"
"It's not good, it's very good," Feng Yiping smiled, "Hehe, you don't know me, you don't use wine to sorrow, you don't use wine to express your feelings, but sometimes you are happy, you will use wine to add fun,"
As he talked, his eyes froze, Huang Jingping flushed and twisted, "What are you looking at?"
"Come here," Feng Yiping beckoned.
She should have just finished taking a shower, she still has the fragrance of shower gel, her hair looks particularly dark, and another black that appeals to Feng Yiping is the pearl black underwear on her chest. She didn't wear a bathrobe, but just put it on casually. A white shirt, this contrast, plus her growing charm after being a mother, under the soft light of the night, tusk, it looks really infinite and infinite.
"No, don't you know, you look like a grandmother wolf," Huang Jingping smiled.
"Come here," Feng Yiping jumped up fiercely, pulled her to the sofa, and immediately divided into three ways, "Test your current level of wine appreciation, can you taste what I drink at night? "
"Well," Huang Jingping pushed him hard, "you disgusting guy, you ate onions at night,"
"Oh, yes, there seems to be coriander, lady, don't you think you are a husband?"
"Hungry, goose bumps on my body,"
"It's okay, let's wait for your husband to iron it out for you," Feng Yiping said elegantly, but his movements were indistinguishable from each other.
…………
Martin and Mark were also drinking at night, but Feng Yiping used wine to add to the fun because he was happy, and the two of them seemed to use wine to pour their sorrows.
"How could this be?" Martin sat in the deck, saying this for the twentieth or thirtieth time tonight.
In order to be able to lock in more interests for themselves when negotiating with Feng Yiping, they have not been idle for the past two days, and they took Mark to tinker with each other, and then he polished up the plan, through the previous relationship, intensive Contacted 5 venture capitalists.
He doesn't want too much. As long as he can get an 8-figure investment, plus the funds they can use, then when talking with Feng Yiping, his back will be much harder.
However, the responses received were very consistent. The five venture capitalists didn’t even look at their plans carefully, did not have politeness, or were too lazy to be polite, and did not say that they did research first. They all pointed out, “No investment,"
If there is an industry whose views in many areas are no worse than Feng Yiping, then this industry must be the venture capital industry. Venture capital's views on the prospects of some fields are more accurate than those on Wall Street.
After all, Wall Street nowadays often does not consider the actual situation, it is more and more keen on playing digital games, and more and more keen to develop patterns or mathematical models that are difficult for ordinary investors to understand.
Venture capital companies are different. They make profits mainly by investing in some start-up companies and supporting the company to go public.
Therefore, for the electric vehicle industry, these venture capitalists have long invited a number of professional organizations to conduct assessments, and there are two main conclusions: 1. Whether it is an electric vehicle or a gasoline-powered vehicle, as long as it is a car company, the existing Under circumstances, it is difficult to succeed in an IPO.
The last time a US automobile company successfully went public was 47 years ago, when Ford went public in 1956.
Second, for a long period of time, it is expected that electric vehicles will still not be competitive compared with ordinary petrol vehicles.
Experts from these institutions have made scientific calculations. Only when the price of oil rises to 8 to 12.5 US dollars a gallon, electric vehicles can compete with petrol vehicles.
And now, even if the United States invades Iraq, Iraq’s oil exports will not return to the level of 3 million barrels per day before the war in the near future, but the international oil price still remains at a maximum of 30 US dollars per barrel. The domestic oil price is only 2 The dollar is about a gallon.
It's a long way from 8 dollars.
With these two points, venture capital companies do not even have to consider some of the other opinions in those reports, such as immature technology and potential safety risks, and they generally shut the door to the industry.
Such an industry in which a successful IPO looks like a long way off is a bottomless pit for venture capital companies. They are not interested in experimenting, how much money it will cost to fill this hole.
It should be said that the decisions of these venture capital companies are really very correct, at least much more correct than the US government.
There were so many electric vehicle companies in the United States that were booming at one time, including some that were not as popular as Tesla. Later, only the Tesla family survived, and only the Tesla family successfully went public.
The other electric vehicle companies that also received hundreds of millions of dollars in interest-free loans from the United States, without exception, all closed down.
The venture capital company rejected it swiftly and swiftly. Martin was hurt violently and directly, and frustrated one after another. He is now a little skeptical of the feeling of life.
"Why? I am optimistic, and Feng is so optimistic, why are these venture capitalists generally not optimistic?"
"Mark, do you think our plan is not good enough? Is it our team? Yes, it must be because our team's equipment is not professional and comprehensive. Go, we will immediately contact the headhunting company and let them find the right one. Technical talent,"
"Martin," Mark pressed him down, "it's not the problem of the plan, nor the problem of our team, it's that they are not interested in such a project at all,"
"Did they ask a question about our plan and the team? No, they just gave up when they saw that we were planning to produce electric cars,"
"Furthermore, we don't have strong funds and no technology. How can we attract the right people to join?"
"They were wrong, they were wrong," Martin drank a lot. "We did the plan again and made them realize that this is a promising industry."
"Martin, forget it," Mark shook his head. "If you are still interested, please contact Feng as soon as possible. Then we still have the opportunity to participate in this promising cause."
"Haha, Feng, that 20-something Feng," Martin picked up the beer glass and drank half of it at once.
…………
"Come on, here you are," Feng Yiping handed a piece of bread covered with jam to his daughter's little meaty hand, "eat slowly, don't get jam on your face,"
"Face?" Amanda immediately raised her sleeve to wipe her face.
Alas, this little guy.
"Let her go, as long as you can eat it," Huang Jingping added a small bowl of porridge to him.
Their breakfast is a combination of Chinese and Western, with bread, bacon, milk, juice, and rice porridge, steamed buns, pickles, soy milk.
Sometimes porridge and pickles are orange juice. In short, it's very mixed.
"I may not come back for dinner at noon,"
"It's okay, your job matters,"
"Also, in a few days, we probably have to go to Los Angeles again, and Musk invited me to visit his Rocket Company."
"Rocket?" Huang Jingping shook her head, "Not interested,"
"There is something you might be interested in. He and his wife gave birth to twins,"
"Really?" Huang Jingping was really interested in this matter.
"Really, but, it seems they are through IVF."
"Ah, why do you want this?"
"I don't know either," Feng Yiping is not easy to ask this question.
He also wanted to tell Huang Jingping, what are twins? If nothing unexpected happens, this guy will usher in triplets next.
Iron Man is indeed not an ordinary person. There are 5 sons in total. It is estimated that he will not join Buffett's plan to donate all his wealth.
"Phone, phone," Amanda called out suddenly.
"You little ear," Feng Yiping picked up the phone he had thrown on the sofa, yo, so coincidentally, he originally decided that if Martin Eberhard didn't contact him today, then I'm sorry, this project will take him Excluded.
"Hello there,"
"Hello Feng, this is Martin Eberhard, we met at ACP, don't bother me,"
Business people generally don't get angry, and Martin is the same.
When I woke up early this morning, I just listed the conditions in my heart, and I knew that cooperation with Feng Yiping was the best choice.
As for waiting for Feng Yiping to take the initiative to contact him, he doesn't have that extravagant hope now. If he can contact him, Feng Yiping should contact him a few days earlier.
"Hello Martin,"
"Feng, I have discussed with my partner, we welcome you to join us very much,"
Now it is not me joining you, but letting you join my project.
"Martin, it happened that I was discussing the specific arrangements with two partners in the past two days. Would you like to come to our company today to participate?"
"Your partner?" Martin was a little disappointed and a little grateful when he heard this. Fortunately, he made the call in time. "Okay, I'm honored. I know your company address."
…………
At ten o'clock, Martin and Mark rushed to NEXTDOOR. They were very curious about the so-called partners Feng Yiping said they were, so he didn't even think about contacting him these days.
As a result, as soon as he saw Musk, he dispelled all the flukes. This guy who has a good reputation in the Internet field and who arrogantly wants to colonize Mars, he naturally knows.
Besides, from a technical point of view, building a rocket is still more complicated than building an electric car. If he joined, Feng Yiping did not contact him, that is indeed forgiven.
If Martin felt that he was indispensable before this, then he now fully realizes that in this team, he really has to work hard to get a place.
He has no intention of negotiating terms with Feng Yiping, because he knows that he does not have the terms to negotiate terms.
"Hello Musk," Martin has a very good attitude with a psychological change, coupled with another engineer who is better than himself.
He knew Musk, but Musk didn't know him, "Hello," Musk was not very enthusiastic. He was perfecting some of his ideas last night on the computer. After shaking hands with Martin and Mark, he continued to work like no one.
He is like this, his personality is extreme, and he is obsessed with work. After he enters the state, he doesn't like others to interrupt him.
"This is Straubel, the co-founder and chief technology officer of the aerospace company, Martin, one thing you may have heard of, the top speed record for electric vehicles in 2000 was created by a Stanford University student. "
Martin was a little puzzled at first, how Feng Yiping's partners were so personal, they were all in the aerospace field, one making airplanes and the other making rockets.
Hearing Feng Yiping's introduction, I was immediately interested~www.wuxiaspot.com~ So it was you? Straw, I heard that the car was completely modified by you yourself, right? "
"Yes, I redesigned and manufactured a lot of hardware and software,"
"What battery did you use at the time?" They talked quite well.
"Elon, stop," Feng Yiping touched Musk. "Martin is the person I think can serve as CEO in the early stage. He is a sports car fan and has experience in managing technology companies. The potential of this market was discussed with ACP a few days ago about technology transfer."
"Moreover, he is very enthusiastic and speaks very contagious. Our most important job in the early stage is to bring in more engineers and executives from the traditional automobile industry. I think he is very suitable, or you Talk to him first?"
"Okay." Although Feng Yiping made it clear to him that this was the early CEO, Musk would still not be sloppy, after all, the CEO is a very important position for the company.
Nearly an hour later, Musk and Martin came out of Feng Yiping's office. Martin looked tired and excited. Musk also nodded to Feng Yiping.
"Everyone, then our team will be formally established today, and I will ask them to bring champagne."
The happiest one is Feng Yiping. The plan he had planned for many years has finally become a reality, and it is even more perfect than his original plan.
Musk didn’t join later either. Straw, a great technologist, joins as a founder like Musk now, so there is no such thing as always supporting him behind Musk. This is positive for Feng Yiping. of.
"Feng, should we talk about the capital contribution ratio now?" Musk said.
"Elon, don't worry, before talking about the capital contribution ratio, I want to tell you that we should also establish an affiliate company,"
