Chapter 449： Focus

When Honggu Capital first invested in Jingdong, it was 10 million US dollars, accounting for 49% of the shares.

Later, the big data plan successfully attracted Lao Liu, so he used an additional investment of 30 million U.S. dollars, plus a low-interest loan of 20 million convertible bonds, to help Lao Liu advance the investment in big data companies.

Correspondingly, Honggu's shareholding ratio in Jingdong has also reached an absolute holding of 54.1%.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for Lao Liu to take money from Honggu, otherwise, the company he has worked so hard for will really be given to Honggu Capital and become a part-time job for others.

This new financing, on the one hand, is the implementation of Jingdong’s big logistics plan, and on the other hand, it is also an action for him to regain the initiative.

Reducing the shareholding ratio of Rainbow Valley Capital to 40%, correspondingly, his own shares will also be reduced to 34%. good thing.

such a pity,

Knowing the result, Chen Yang shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Lao Liu's mood is understandable, but he was out of luck and found the wrong time. At this time, let alone 200 million US dollars, I am afraid that even 20 million US dollars That's enough!"

Huang Shan pursed her lips and rolled her eyes twice, "Then, how should we deal with it?"

Chen Yang shook his head and asked, "Have our people calculated how much his big logistics plan will cost to fully implement?"

Huang Shan nodded and said, "After calculation, at least 300 million U.S. dollars is needed, but this is still without inflation factor, otherwise, an additional 50 million to 100 million U.S. dollars may be needed."

Chen Yang stretched out a slap and said seriously, "Prepare 500 million for him, but we can't pay all of this money by ourselves. Last time I talked with Lao Zhang and the three of them, they were very impressed by Jingdong's model." interest,

If Lao Liu comes back to you later, you send this project to three of them, package a total financing of 500 million, and bid 30% of the shares. If they are willing, they will participate. several partners. "

It is indeed inappropriate for Honggu Capital to hold a large proportion of shares in Jingdong, because with Honggu's current size, it is not enough to blow Jingdong up, even if he is already standing on the top of the wind,

Perhaps, if Rainbow Valley can pick up some loopholes in the United States this year, such as acquiring several bankrupt medium-sized financial companies and banks, and then spend five or six years to digest these resources, it will be possible to barely make it possible for companies like Goldman Sachs to be able to compete in the capital market. do it!

Huang Shan nodded, "This is not difficult. In view of the success of Damai and other companies, Goldman Sachs and HSBC have long been interested in the target company of Honggu Capital. As long as I let the wind out, they are still very likely to participate. "

Chen Yang smiled and stopped talking.

Huang Shan sorted out her thoughts, looked at the tablet, and said, "In the end, there are only two companies that you want to invest in but haven't invested in yet, Tesla, and New Energy Technology! Let's talk about Tesla first."

Huang Shan said directly, "Last May, they raised 45 million US dollars, and the first batch of 100 'signature version' Roadsters were sold out within three weeks of their launch, and the second batch of 100 The vehicles sold out in October and regular production will start next month,

Then just a few days ago, specifically on February 8, Musk invested another 40 million US dollars to prepare for the mass production of the Roadster. The current price of this model is 100,000 US dollars, but it is understood that this car cost up to $120,000,

Now Musk faces a dilemma, either raise the price or lose money! "

Speaking of this, Huang Shan shrugged naturally, and still insisted on her attitude, "Boss, you said it yourself, invest in people first, such an unreliable guy, are you sure you want to invest?"

Qin Yu also said at the side, "In comparison, I am more optimistic about that new energy technology company!"

Chen Yang took a sip of his coffee calmly, looked at the two of them, and said with a smile, "Since you said that you invest in people first, then, do you think that if you change someone else, Tesla, a company, can survive to its present state?" ?"

Such a question made the two women fall into deep thought,

Since it is a company that Chen Yang is optimistic about, they naturally have done in-depth research on Tesla,

Originally, the founders of this company were Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning, who co-founded this electric vehicle company in July 2003.

Half a year later, Musk became the chairman of Tesla with an investment of 6.3 million US dollars including his own, with a total investment of 7.5 million US dollars, and has the final decision on all matters!

Then, Musk continued to invest, first signed an OEM agreement with Lotus Motors,...

It can be said that it is such a person who does not understand cars and often speaks nonsense, it is difficult to find investors, and he has to use his own funds to invest many times,

It is he who has kept Tesla alive until now, and is about to achieve the achievement of rolling off the assembly line of the first mass-produced car!

In contrast, the two founders who focused on research and development had really limited contributions to Tesla.

Putting aside subjective factors, judging from the results alone, this Musk is indeed the most suitable helm of Tesla.

Seeing the changes in the faces of the two women, Chen Yang said with a smile, "I said investing in people first, of course character is the first thing to look at, but sometimes, character should be ranked after ability.

We have an old saying that no man is perfect if he observes his performance but not his mind. At least in terms of the results, this Musk has the potential to become a cash cow," he said.

He spread his hands and said with a smile, "Anyway, I don't plan to hold the stock of this company for a long time. I think ten years or so is a good time limit. As long as he can help us make money, does it matter what kind of person he is? ?!"

Musk is indeed a good player at cheating people But he is also a good money maker, keep a proper distance, and then make a little bit of money to leave the market, how good it is!

Huang Shan pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Qin Yu, then at Chen Yang, "Understood."

After a pause, he continued, "The reason why Musk has invested with his own funds many times is not only because he cannot get the participation of predators, but also because he is very optimistic about this company.

However, our people have calculated that after this round of investment, his cash flow is basically exhausted, and this year is the financing winter, as long as Tesla has the next round of financing, he cannot escape our palms! "

Chen Yang nodded with a smile, and then said, "There is a joint venture car factory between GM and Toyota in California, USA."

Huang Shan immediately responded, "NUMMI New United Automobile Manufacturing Company?"

Without waiting for Chen Yang to speak, she suddenly realized, "I know, although this company has created brilliance, GM planned to withdraw from this company last year, and affected by the financial crisis, Toyota itself can hardly bear the burden of this company with five The large factory with more than 1,000 workers continues to operate, and if we can win this company, it may become the focus of investing in Tesla, which has been seeking to have its own production capacity!"
