Unparalleled True Technology

Everything has pros and cons, this point Wen Ming is really deeply touched now.

On the phone, Cage not only told him the sales of the Tesla Model-S, a pure electric vehicle, created within two days, but also settled an account for him.

"Now we can only calculate based on 20,000 Model-S, because this is almost the limit that we can jump in the sales line. If we continue to sell, then, it is very likely that it will really affect the previous order as those reports did. Tesla's user pick-up time. In that way, we really lose more than we gain."

"Among the 20,000 Model-S, there are only 3,000 of the basic model, and 7,000 of the mid-range model, and the remaining 10,000 are all top-of-the-range models. We only sell the basic model for 75,000 US dollars, and the mid-range model we sell for 95,000 US dollars, and our top version is priced at 120,000 US dollars."

There are only three versions of the Model-S pure electric sports car launched by Tesla. The price has also been criticized before, but it has not affected Tesla's pricing strategy. Since you can afford the top configuration, an extra $5,000 is completely acceptable.

"In this way, our 20,000 Model-S, the basic model has created a revenue of 225 million U.S. dollars for the company, the mid-range version has created a revenue of 665 million U.S. dollars for the company, and the top version has created 12 million dollars for the company. In other words, you can now withdraw $2 billion from Tesla without affecting Tesla’s operations.”

Wen Ming was pleasantly surprised to collect 2 billion U.S. dollars in two days. Although the average net interest rate is only 25%, that is to say, only 520 million US dollars were earned in two days.

However, Wen Ming has reached the point where he does not need to pay for materials and parts immediately.

When he first established Apple and designed the first-generation iPhone, he searched everywhere for component suppliers to supply the first-generation iPhone. However, the deposit ratio that those parts suppliers required Wen Ming to pay was so high that Wen Ming couldn't afford it. It wasn't until later that he found Teresa Roy, and Teresa Roy came forward to guarantee and pay a part of the deposit. After the first generation of iPhones went on sale, there was no serious shortage of supply.

But now, his Tesla needs to pay a very small deposit for all the parts needed to manufacture the Model-S car, as well as the materials needed for the parts it makes.

The most important thing is that the time for Tesla to pay the final payment has also been extended so that Wen Ming can directly withdraw from Tesla the 2 billion US dollars obtained from the sale of 20,000 Model-S this time. The 90 million US dollars left in Tesla's books,

It is enough to support Tesla's continued operations and production.

This kind of progress made Wen Ming himself start to marvel at his own growth rate.

"We also need to thank the people behind the scenes. If they hadn't helped us with publicity, I don't think so many people would have decided to buy the Model-S in full during the past two days."

When he said these words, Wen Ming felt very relaxed. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although the public opinion reports purchased by those behind the scenes have affected the credibility of Tesla as a company to a certain extent, it also helped Tesla to carry out free publicity.

Of course, if there were not so many public opinion reports, the Tesla Model-S could have sold more than 20,000 vehicles, but this incredible sales volume would definitely not be completed within two days.

Cage also laughed, and said: "Whether we are scolded or praised, our Tesla will appear in front of many people, and it is all propaganda. But, are you really going to thank them?"

Wen Ming shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course it is impossible to thank them, because these 20,000 vehicles should already be our sales limit. If, in the next two months, we experience delays in delivery, then, This time the wave of public opinion will completely guide them, and our Tesla’s reputation will deteriorate.”

"The temporary gain or loss does not represent the final victory or defeat. Perhaps, they know this, so they ignore the consequences that may help us, and spare no effort to use the public opinion offensive to dismantle the leader position we have finally achieved. .”

Cage sighed and said, "Yeah, the reason why you can sell so many in two days is because the Model-S is really attractive. And your marketing strategy has attracted many likes." The rich people who jump in the queue feel the difference, and those users who have already got the Model-S, they will not waste the two recommendation places in their hands, and will take the initiative to help our Model-S publicize, so that Create such miraculous global sales."

"However, the sales volume this time has almost turned consumers who really like Model-S around the world into our users. If we can't deliver on time, then they are willing to buy our Tesla cars in the future." consumers, there will be very few."

The world's population exceeds 7 billion, and I don't know how many of them are not less than 120,000 US dollars. The actual sales volume of Tesla Model-S so far is only 26,000. This figure is really not worth mentioning to the rich people all over the world.

Wen Ming nodded and said, "So, I hope you can do a good job in production at Tesla, especially now that we are facing pressure from other automakers. If they are really shameless and threaten our zero production by other means Component suppliers, suspending the supply of parts to us, then Tesla's corporate credibility will really be completely lost."

If you can spend money to buy public opinion reports to suppress Tesla before your pure electric car is on the market, why is it impossible to use your relationship with those parts suppliers to affect Tesla's production capacity?

Regarding Wen Ming's concerns, Cage said: "I will stay with Tesla for a while, and as long as there is no component supply problem in terms of production capacity, it will definitely not be affected. Moreover, even those component suppliers Deliberately delaying, we can also get huge compensations, and then use these compensations to compensate users, and we can even earn a lot of money from it.”

"I believe that in the face of huge compensation, those parts suppliers will not cooperate with other automakers to suppress us."

Cage himself is a law major at Harvard University. Although he has already dropped out of school, he has never given up his studies. When Tesla signed supply contracts with those parts suppliers, it had already taken Tesla's interests into consideration.

In addition to taking advantage of Tesla's boss Wen Ming's identity as the founder of Apple, he lowered the deposit ratio to a very low level, and extended the time for final payment to the limit, and also compensated parts manufacturers for failing to supply goods on time. , opened very high.

Model-S is not worried about sales, otherwise, Sequoia Capital would not have recognized the valuation of 23 billion US dollars at that time. Coupled with Wenming's identity as the founder of Apple, and his almost complete control of Apple, which is valued at 150 billion US dollars, Cage's almost harsh requirements will naturally be accepted by those component manufacturers.

Wen Ming said with a smile: "You did a very good job in this matter. At that time, I didn't even consider the benefits of compensation."

Cage did not accept the compliment, saying: "If you were not the boss of Tesla, I don't think any parts supplier would accept such a condition."

Wen Ming didn't go further into this topic. Naturally, his subordinates should be rewarded for doing well, but such things as rewards should not be said verbally, but should be put into action. Just like picking up a girl, you can't always promise to buy her something, because the promise can't be fulfilled.

It is the most correct way to put bags, perfumes, and cosmetics directly in front of her.

"Are you sure I can withdraw $2 billion?"

Wen Ming is still a little worried, because the money is really too much. Of course, the too much mentioned here is for Tesla. If this affects Tesla's operations, it will not be worth the candle.

Although investing in Facebook is really profitable, otherwise Wen Ming would not use this method, but Facebook is not completely owned by him, but Tesla is controlled by him.

Cage laughed and said: "I have already communicated with the people of Sequoia Capital, and they said that as long as it does not affect Tesla's operations, they will not have any opinions. Moreover, after you take away 2 billion US dollars There is still 90 million U.S. dollars left, plus our previous subscribers will pay the final payment every day, so there is no need to worry at all.”

Wen Ming had no choice but to praise again: "Cage, your job is really good, it's completely beyond my imagination."
