Chapter 5093: Make a Friend

Genius boy!

Lin Feng sighed!

"President Vincent, since these two are so important and so young, this incident can be a special case. But I also want to know, how did they leak the secret?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

Vincent sighed and explained the matter. After Lin Feng heard this, he really couldn't blame these two talented teenagers. The company also attaches great importance to the two of them, so it keeps their confidentiality extremely strict, and the two of them are also extremely cautious and never have too much contact with outsiders. But now that the Internet is developed, they do not have contact with strangers, so on the Internet, they naturally cannot avoid contact with people.

Moreover, because there is no face-to-face contact with people on the Internet, it is inevitable that people will relax their vigilance, and it is inevitable that they will speak irresponsibly and have the urge to vent all the troubles in daily life. These two talented teenagers were provoked by someone in an extremely popular solar energy technology forum and published some data about solar energy technology. The two of them were just arguing at first, wanting people to know that although they were young, they were no worse, or even better, than the so-called experts who had been studying this field for many years.

At that time, they didn't take it to heart. It wasn't until the Arab sheikhs used this data to force Lin Feng that they realized something was wrong.

Lin Feng heard that,

He also shook his head. It is inevitable for young people to be impulsive. Especially in your own professional field, being looked down upon because of your age is often the most annoying thing. Generally speaking, they will show off what they are proud of.

so. Lin Feng doesn't blame them. Of course, this will have to be kept secret from now on.

"President Vincent, this matter is over." Lin Feng stopped pursuing the matter, and President Vincent breathed a sigh of relief.

Ed Dwyer and Escha Kari are really geniuses. If the company wants to break through the existing technology, it must have these two people. He was most afraid that Lin Feng would throw these two into the cold palace because of the leak. If so, it's a loss. Fortunately, Lin Feng didn't pursue the matter.

"President Vincent, what I want to know now is when will these solar panels be available on the market?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boss, after the leak, we also changed our strategy. On the one hand, we continued to research, and on the other hand, we also adjusted our strategy. Currently, our main focus is solar car panels!" Vincent replied. "But currently we still need to cooperate with automobile companies. I currently have an intention to cooperate!" Vincent said with excitement about the company's development direction.

"Well, tell me your plan first!" Lin Feng already had a direction for the solar car in his mind, but he also wanted to hear Vincent's plan first.

"Boss, have you ever heard of Tesla?" Vincent asked.

Tesla? Lin Feng's eyes lit up.

"Tesla, the great scientist?" Lin Feng asked.

"No, no, not that Tesla. But Tesla Motors! A company that manufactures electric cars. It has just been established for more than four years, right in Silicon Valley!" Vincent introduced.

Lin Feng was surprised, a pure electric car?

"Well, boss, they are committed to developing electric vehicles and have achieved good results so far. However, they had some problems last year. There were some problems with the car's gearbox. In February this year, the first car was just delivered. However, the production capacity is not very high, and the cost control is not very good. I heard that their previous reservation price was 100,000 US dollars, but now they want to raise the reservation price to 110,000 US dollars, but it is said that their costs are still high. Faced with a cash crisis, this is our opportunity!" Vincent said excitedly.

For Fengshen New Energy Co., Ltd., Lin Feng’s first capital injection was US$10 billion. For all scientific researchers, being able to do research without caring about money is the best thing. At present, the company does not have even $1 billion in funds. Of course, investing 1 billion US dollars in one year can be said to be a very luxurious and wasteful thing for many such scientific research companies. But no matter what, Lin Feng is rich.

The so-called money, willfulness! If Lin Feng has money, he will be willful.

"Since you are so optimistic, then you are responsible for the acquisition. You can give more money, but you must have a controlling stake!" Lin Feng ordered. As for my own plan, I will wait until Vincent goes to talk about it.

Controlling rights! Vincent's head went dark. Well, controlling rights are not so easy to get, right?

"I never invest in a company without a controlling stake!" Lin Feng glanced at it and said domineeringly.

"Then, okay, let me go and talk!" Vincent said helplessly. Let’s talk first and see what the other person says.

But the result...

"What! Controlling rights! This is impossible! This is impossible no matter how much money you have. We are indeed short of some cash now, but we will never agree to it. You can buy shares, and we are welcome to join, but you can't do it if you want controlling rights! "Tesla President Elon Musk immediately refused.

"President Musk, your company currently has a funding gap, and your company is building environmentally friendly electric vehicles, while our company can provide the most efficient and energy-saving solar technology. The two will be a perfect combination!" Vincent Te continued his lobbying.

The biggest advantage here is solar technology, and the most important thing about electric vehicles is battery life. Tesla cars coupled with solar technology can achieve almost all-weather driving, which is a huge bait.

Elon Musk was indeed moved by this bait. Although Tesla's cars can now achieve a range of 480 kilometers. It can basically meet most needs. But there are still shortcomings in long-distance driving. And there are still certain time defects in charging. And this is the strength of the other party's 'Fengshen New Energy Co., Ltd.'. If the two sides combine, it is indeed a strong combination.

However, the other party's request is a bit too much, controlling rights! How is this possible!

At the beginning, Elon Musk also got the controlling rights of Tesla with great difficulty. Now just because of a little cash turnover, he has to transfer the controlling rights of the company. How can he bear it!

"50 million US dollars, we want 51% of the shares!" Vincent saw Elon Musk's attitude and knew that this could only be pressured with money.

When Elon Musk financed Tesla, he only spent 6.3 million US dollars to get the controlling rights of Tesla. Now he is offering 50 million here. Do you agree?

50 million US dollars! For Elon Musk, it is not a small number. Otherwise, he would have invested money in Tesla. But can Tesla be bought for 50 million now? If so, it is too much to underestimate Tesla!

Vincent curled his lips helplessly.

"70 million US dollars!" Vincent raised the offer.

Elon Musk's eyelids just jumped and ignored it.

"100 million US dollars!" Vincent continued to raise the offer.

This time, Elon Musk still did not say anything. Although the offer was very high, it was impossible to make him give up his shares.

Vincent frowned. Although Tesla is promising, the price is already very high. Buying Tesla shares from Elon Musk, 100 million US dollars, is a very reasonable offer. Elon Musk invested 6.3 million US dollars in 2004 to take control of Tesla, and now it is 2008, only four years have passed, and he has acquired it for 100 million US dollars. It has risen 15 times in four years, which is a lot! This return on investment is very high.

"President Vincent, stop dreaming. I won't sell it!" Elon Musk said arrogantly. What a joke. Is Tesla worth so little money? It's just a joke. It's ridiculous to want to buy Tesla for $100 million.

"$500 million! Sell it or not?" At this time, a voice came.

"Boss, why are you here!" Vincent exclaimed and stood up quickly.

"Haha, I came here to visit my friend and see how your negotiation went!" Lin Feng laughed. He came here to visit Ellison. On the way here, he learned about Tesla. After learning about it, he was very interested in this company, especially for its philosophy. Lin Feng admired it very much.

Tesla is a high-end route, which is the same level as Ferrari and Porsche. And people who buy this kind of car, will care about the gas money? Obviously it doesn't matter. People who buy million-level luxury cars don't care about the gas money. And if Tesla wants to focus on energy saving, the other party will not care about you. So, Tesla's main focus is not energy saving, but environmental protection! Although energy conservation and environmental protection seem to have similar meanings, they are actually very different.

Energy conservation represents the subtext of being poor. Only when you are poor do you need to conserve energy. However, environmental protection represents your attitude towards environmental issues and your contribution to environmental protection. Simply put, if you sell energy-saving cars to people who can afford luxury cars, they will think you are looking down on them. But if you sell environmentally friendly cars to people, they will be happy to accept them. Environmental protection is now advocated by all countries on the earth. In this case, as a successful person in society, setting an example by choosing electric cars will undoubtedly be of great benefit to your social business card effect and personal image.

Therefore, selling Tesla is not selling a car, but a business card. And this concept makes Lin Feng very satisfied.

"Mr. Musk, how about making friends for $500 million?" Lin Feng smiled and stretched out his hand.

At this time, Elon Musk could not remain calm. Lin Feng's words were very straightforward. He wanted Tesla and it was determined. If you sell it, everyone is friends, and if you don't sell it, then it is not friends. And Lin Feng once said that in his dictionary, it is either friends or enemies.

Enemies? To be Lin Feng's enemy, this Alexander! (To be continued)
