Chapter 932 Who treats whom as a fool
"Mr. Musk, it's a pleasure to meet you."
In the presidential suite of the Peninsula Hotel, Zhou Anan saw a white man with a haggard Chinese face, smiled and shook hands with him.
Although people only sent emails to the other party before and saw the other party's photos, Zhou An'an, who occasionally read some news in his previous life, still felt that the other party looked familiar.
There was a beautiful translator who could speak authentic American English, and Zhou Anan did not show his interest in half-English, and communicated with the other party in pure Chinese.
So far, he is the only life-saving straw for the other party, and there is no need to spoil the other party.
"Mr. Zhou, I am amazed by your youthful promise."
Looking at the young man in front of him, Musk made no secret of his surprise.
Originally, he thought that the Chinese person who sent him an email stating that he liked the aerospace industry since he was a child would be a young man born in the 70s who was about the same age as him, but he did not expect to be born in the 80s.
The other party is so young, and can spend tens of millions of dollars to support his aerospace career. He must be the rumored rich second generation of China.
Huaxia rich second generation is good, people are stupid and have a lot of money, so it is easy to get on top if they are fooled.
"Mr. Musk is also so young, it is admirable that he can invest hundreds of millions of dollars in the development of private aerospace business."
Automatically filtered out the "young and promising" in the mouth of another young male translator brought by the other party, Zhou Anan smiled and complimented the other party.
It is said that everyone brings a translator who is proficient in Chinese and English, which is a bit of a waste of thousands of dollars in service fees for this day.
But, everyone is afraid that the translator brought by the other party is unreliable. It is necessary to bring one yourself, after all, it involves an investment of tens of millions of dollars.
If anyone’s translation is not proper enough, someone on their own will point out the problem, so as to be prepared.
Like in some TV dramas, forcibly creating a plot that leads to the breakdown of the transaction through translation can only be imagined by those screenwriters.
"Although I have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a private space vehicle, I am still one step away from success. If there is no invitation from Mr. Zhou, I guess I will sell more shares and invest in this space industry. I don't know , How much money is Mr. Zhou going to contribute, and what are the conditions?"
Compared to those proud North Americans, Musk has the candidness unique to the researcher industry, and directly asked about the other party's conditions.
Of course, he didn’t say that his behavior was like a gamble on God’s will. Once the fourth launch fails, tens of millions of dollars cannot make up for it.
First deceive yourself to have confidence, then you can put other people's funds into your own pocket, and then burn them into the aerospace industry.
"I can spend 50 million US dollars to support Mr. Musk's aerospace career. The condition is, I want a 10% stake in SpaceX."
Listening to the other party getting straight to the point so quickly, Zhou Anan, who had inquired about the other party's character, didn't waste any time, and stated his own conditions.
"10%? Impossible, even if I am willing, our company's top management will not agree. Moreover, once SpaceX launches successfully, it must find a way to continue to borrow from the bank, and then get a supply contract from NASA. Presumably Mr. Zhou has heard of it. Well, those arrogant senior officials in North America have always had persecution paranoia and will not allow Chinese people to hold more than 5% of the shares. That way, even if the rocket launch is successful, SpaceX will not be able to achieve greater success in North America.”
Regarding the conditions that the other party is not harsh, Musk chattered about a series of troubles.
If it was before last year, Musk would definitely say that the other party was whimsical when he heard such conditions.
At that time, SpaceX was placed high hopes by investment institutions across the United States, and the share price of 1 point was more than tens of millions of dollars.
However, now is the time when he is at the end of his rope and can't even get the funds for the fourth launch. The other party's conditions are already very generous.
He can save as much as he can in his daily expenses now, and the translator is a Chinese employee hired by Tesla.
But he didn't want to have half his life's hard work to be taken away by a Chinese person so easily, and what he said was true.
If you want to be recognized by high-level officials in North America, then SpaceX must not have too many shares held by foreigners.
"I can lower the share requirement of SpaceX, I don't know what kind of compensation Mr. Musk can give me?"
Didn't get angry because of the other party's denial, Zhou Anan took a sip of coffee calmly, and asked the other party with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou, I can give you up to 2% of SpaceX shares, but I can transfer part of the shares of Tesla under my name to you. Tesla is the most advanced company in the field of electric vehicles today, and it owns .
Upon hearing that the other party was willing to lower the terms of SpaceX’s shares, Musk’s eyes flashed with joy, and then he began to promote another company under his name.
Compared to SpaceX, which he has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and Tesla, which has invested tens of millions of dollars and is on the verge of stalling due to financial crisis, Musk is more willing to sell the latter’s shares to the other party.
What's more, SpaceX carries his dream, and a Chinese person can't easily steal the fruit.
"Mr. Musk, I heard that Mr. Eberhard, the founder of Tesla, is not very optimistic about the development progress of this electric car, and the company is also in financial crisis."
Looking at the foolish appearance of the other party, Qin Lianyun on the side unceremoniously exposed the other party's lies and pointed out Tesla's plight.
And Zhou Anan looked at the other party's ugly face, drinking tea calmly.
Don’t look at how awesome Tesla will be in a few years, now Tesla is about to face bankruptcy because of Musk’s desperate bet on SpaceX.
Even if he is very willing to buy shares in Tesla, he should not be too obvious on the surface, so as not to be considered by the other party as the rich second generation of China who is stupid and rich.
“.”
Unexpectedly, the lie was exposed face to face. Musk, who was planning to continue fooling around, was at a loss for words for a while, and didn't know how to continue.
The other party is so aware of Tesla's situation, they must have done corresponding investigations in advance.
However, the cheeky practice of asking for help during this period of time made Musk's brain spin fast.
Now that the other party is clear, he will cut straight to the point and talk about the future prospects.
"Don't know who this lady is?"
"Oh, this is my agent in North America, Ms. Qin Lianyun."
"Ms. Qin, hello. Mr. Zhou, it is undeniable that Tesla's development has fallen into a temporary dilemma, but the future of electric smart cars is bright"
After simply saying hello to the oriental beauty who interrupted, Musk continued to start a new round of flickering towards the rich second generation of China.
In his eyes, the one who really decided to invest was this young man with a lot of money.
"I agree with Mr. Musk, and I believe that under your leadership, Tesla can achieve brilliant achievements. I just don't know how many shares you can give me?"
After listening to the other party's good idea, Zhou An'an nodded in approval and asked the most critical question.
“.”
The other party recognized his idea so easily, which made Musk a little stunned, but he immediately reacted, and said calmly while his heart was ecstatic: "Mr. Zhou, you must know that I have invested no less than 3 in Tesla 100 million U.S. dollars, plus the investment of other shareholders, at least 500 million U.S. dollars. Including Tesla’s intangible brand valuation, it has exceeded 800 million U.S. dollars. If you invest 50 million U.S. dollars, I can give you 12 points Tesla shares, plus a 2% stake in SpaceX.”
"12 points is too little stake, at least 20 points."
Shaking his head, Zhou Anan stated his request very plainly.
"No, no, I only have 45% of the shares in my hand. If I give you 20 points, I will only have 25 points of shares left. In that way, I will lose control of the company, and I will not be able to guide Tess It will become the NO.1 of future smart electric vehicles."
Although the conditions of the other party have met his expectations, Musk, who found that the rich second generation of China is easy to talk, feels that he can get the right investment at a lower cost.
There are fool investors who don't fool around, when will they wait.
"18 points, $55 million."
Stretching out a finger, Zhou Anan began to increase the size, and also gave in a little.
After hearing this, Zhang Qian, a temporary wealth consultant and senior manager of UBS, wanted to persuade her, but she thought of the identity of the other party, and finally did not stop the other party from negotiating.
She is just a wealth consultant and is responsible for providing loan services to the other party. As long as the other party's investment amount does not exceed the bank's loan amount, she cannot interfere with the other party's investment behavior at will.
What's more, the huge high-quality assets in the hands of the other party are enough for the bank not to worry about the repayment ability of the other party, and the other party is also willing to be stupid and rich.
As an agent, Qin Lianyun is even more aware of the fact that his younger brother and the big boss are bound to win Tesla's shares, so naturally he will not open his mouth to disrupt the other party's rhythm.
"Up to 13 points."
"17 points, 56 million."
“.”
"15 points, 60 million."
"make a deal."
