It’s not that Xiao Qi can’t spend more money to buy shares of Tesla and Tesla.
It’s only 3 billion US dollars, so buying it all is not a problem at all.
It's just that the shares of these two companies are not so easy to get.
Tesla's electric car is a little easier to say, but this kind of company involved in rocket and space technology must be closely monitored by the United States, and it is impossible for him to fully invest in it.
If you buy it, you can expect to be bankrupted by various strict regulations and inspections.
Besides, despite what Masco said simply, if Xiao Qi really wanted to take full control, he would definitely be the first to disagree.
After all, Xiao Qi's reputation for "wholly-owned purchases" has long been known.
A person with career ambitions like Masco would certainly not want to have his efforts robbed by Xiao Qi.
There is a sentiment between the two companies. Just like other wealthy people investing in the future, everyone hopes to explore the mysterious space. Regardless of the benefits, this concept of taking one more step for all mankind is enough for them to donate generously.
Already.
Besides, development does not happen in ten or eight years. It may last for twenty, thirty, or fifty years of continuous investment, and it will continue to grow and develop.
Even if Xiao Qi doesn't think about himself, he will think about future generations.
When the day comes when the earth's resources are exhausted, this kind of pioneering space development will definitely be a very important industry. It will also be very beneficial to the development of future generations. Even space immigrants will be one step ahead of others and enjoy it earlier.
The benefits of space development.
So even if the shares continue to be diluted in the future, Xiao Qi will try to control about 15%-20% of the shares, have a board seat, and have enough say.
For Tesla Electric Car Company, it's exactly the opposite.
The 40% Xiao Qi invested now will not only not be diluted or reduced in the future, but will continue to make additional investments. He strives to achieve a 60% holding model and become the controlling shareholder of Tesla.
The R. electric car launched by Tesla now has a very avant-garde and fancy appearance. It is more like a racing car on a track. Although many people like it, it is absolutely impossible to enter the large-scale sales field.
.
This is related to the wrong concept of "selling Tesla products to rich people" by Musk and others.
For this they paid a heavy price.
It wasn't until 2012 that they produced Models, a beautiful electric car similar to a coupe, with a price aimed directly at the middle class. It became an instant hit, conquering cities and territories around the world, occupying countless eyeballs, and also gained recognition.
A great success.
After that, Tesla was on the right track and entered a virtuous cycle of R&D and sales. Its market value increased from several billion US dollars to 10 billion or 20 billion US dollars.
At that time, Musk once said that Tesla would be worth US$500 billion in 10 years.
Although not necessarily so in Xiao Qi's opinion, there is no doubt that Tesla has huge potential for development and is suitable to become a good asset of the Xiao family.
Therefore, if Tesla does not go public next year, it will be fine. Once Tesla goes public next year, Xiao Qi will immediately use various companies to increase his shareholding ratio. He will strive to reach 60% within two or three years.
Masco didn't know that Xiao Qi had so many thoughts in his mind, and he was very, very happy.
On the one hand, Xiao Qi readily agreed to invest a huge sum of 1 billion US dollars into his company. On the other hand, because of his career, he was praised by geniuses like Xiao Qi, which made him feel that his hard work
is very valuable.
A billionaire almost sold his pants for the sake of his company. This kind of mental pressure is indeed not something ordinary people can bear.
After obtaining Xiao Qi's consent, Masco immediately called the United States. Without calling his own legal team, he directly discussed the contract details with the lawyers at Mario Law Firm in the United States and handed them over to him.
It will be fine if you and Xiao Qi have a look at it.
After the business was settled, the next step was naturally the entertainment projects in Sichuan.
Hoffman very ill-intentionedly asked Masco to eat Sichuan hot pot. Naturally, Masco had heard of the name of Sichuan hot pot, and of course he would not spoil the fun here, so he happily met with Xiao Qi and Hoffman.
Went into a hotpot restaurant.
Then he became miserable.
People who eat hot pot for the first time, especially spicy red pot, are not used to it even by many people from other parts of China, let alone Americans.
Masco, who was so spicy that he was sweating all over, took the thirst-quenching and fragrant Moutai. He didn't feel it at first, but the more he drank, the more drunk he became. Finally, he finally crawled back to the hotel, fell on the bed and screamed.
sleep.
Xiao Qi didn't drink, and Hoffman mainly dealt with white pots, and he drank beer, so naturally the two of them were fine.
After leaving Masco's room, Hoffman went to take a shower, and then sat in the coffee shop with Xiao Qi, chatting leisurely.
Hoffman is not Xiao Qi's subordinate, but he is the one who cooperates with Xiao Qi the most.
The companies he founded and purchased, such as airbnb, ouquare, dreamdive, uber, square, r, etc., are all companies that make Silicon Valley and Wall Street look new. The value will exceed 100 billion US dollars at least. In two years,
It will at least quadruple every year.
Following Xiao Qi, Hoffman himself owns a lot of shares in most companies. It is expected that he will have a wealth of more than 10 billion US dollars in three to five years.
Being able to earn so much wealth in just a few years, Hoffman admired Xiao Qi greatly, and even more admired his investment vision. Compared with Xiao Qi, he was probably only Edison.
Only a few people, including Einstein, can be considered geniuses.
Although Xiao Qi is not a scientist himself, the various ideas in his mind are pushing the electronic network company forward step by step, further strengthening mankind's emphasis on and development of the electronics industry.
In just a few years or more than ten years, the effect may not be seen, but thirty or fifty years later, everyone will definitely know how great Xiao Qi's contribution is.
"Reed, what do you think of my photo sharing company?" Xiao Qi asked him while drinking juice.
"It's great. Now the number of global users has easily exceeded 100 million, right? 22% of the photos uploaded by American users every day are shared on Meitu." Hoffman said with a smile, "According to Silicon Valley's estimates, its achievements
Far more than that, 300-500 million loyal users is a normal value. In fact, my sons and daughters all like to use this software. It is said that sharing beautiful pictures is directly popular among 12-year-old young people around the world.
It is absolutely the most popular software.
Because it is so popular, Wall Street has recently valued it at US$3 billion. This US$3 billion is not the US$1.8 billion valuation given by Goldman Sachs in February, but Google
, Microsoft and Apple are already preparing to approach Meitu Sharing Company at this price.”
What Hoffman means is that if Xiao Qi is willing to sell the Meitu sharing company now, then he can get his own share of the US$3 billion.
Xiao Qi smiled slightly. Feng Kelun had already told Xiao Qi about this matter. Among them, Google proposed the acquisition first, as always, with a price of 2.8 billion U.S. dollars, while Microsoft wanted to offer a lower price, only 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, which was far from that.
There are so many rumors from the outside world.
But even so, a mere app software can achieve such great success, which is enough to make all investors flock to it.
This is just an olive branch from the U.S. technology industry. Many local wealthy people in Hong Kong have met Feng Kelun many times, including Li Chaoren, Zheng Yoga, Li Diwang, Boss Guo, etc., and they have all expressed strong interest in investing.
.
However, Feng Kelun is not very interested in them, because even the most generous Li Chaoren only gave a valuation of US$1.5 billion, while the others gave valuations of US$500 million, which fully reflects the caution of Hong Kong businessmen.
and stingy.
Feng Kelun remembered that Xiao Qi told him that if the business was average, Meitu Sharing could achieve a market value of US$5 billion. If it developed well, US$10 billion was possible.
He is not short of money now. His sister has already given him a lot of assets. These alone will be enough for him to enjoy himself for a lifetime.
Not to mention that his sister’s assets exceed HK$50 billion. Depending on how much she loves him, it won’t be a problem to give him HK$100 to 200 million every year from now on.
Moreover, he doesn’t have any funding problems that entrepreneurs face. With the world’s richest man and his brother-in-law as the largest shareholder, Feng Kelun has a huge capital of 300 million US dollars in his hands. Even if he develops desperately, it will take a long time to get this money.
The huge amount of money is used up.
Therefore, Feng Kelun chose to continue to struggle. With the investment given to him by Xiao Qi, he worked hard to develop the connotation project of beautiful picture sharing, perfect and improve it as much as possible, and also work hard to cooperate with the hardware facilities, striving to attract more young people to love beauty.
Picture sharing.
Xiao Qi very much agreed with his idea.
If a person becomes arrogant after achieving a few achievements, there is absolutely no way to achieve greater success.
Since Feng Kelen has such ambitions, of course he fully supports it.
How can 100 million loyal users be enough? At least 300 million loyal users are enough.
22% of users uploading choices is not enough, at least 30% must be captured to count.
By that time, Xiao Qi will certainly be making a lot of money, and Feng Kelun will also become a new business leader in Hong Kong! (To be continued)
