My Age of Investment

Andrew is tall and fat, and has a lot of strength. Xia Jingxing was dragged into the factory building and had little resistance.

Of course, it was mainly because Xia Jingxing did not want to resist.

After all, Eberhard and Tarpenning were still watching, and they couldn't make people laugh.

In addition, he also noticed that Andrew seemed to have something to say to himself.

The two walked out of the factory building and walked a few hundred meters. Xia Jingxing broke free from Andrew's hand, straightened his clothes, and gave the fat fat man a glance.

"It's far enough here. If you want to say something, just say it!"

Andrew pointed to the direction of the Tesla factory, and said excitedly: "Those people are liars, electric cars, with the current technology, it is impossible to achieve mass production, at most a few hand-built cars!

And whether it can be legally on the road is still a question?

For a few cars, you have to put in $100 million!

So much money, what can you do wrong? Not to mention cars, you can buy a private jet!

Darren, as a friend, I don't want to see you jump into such a big hole.

Besides, don't think I don't know your net worth, do you have 100 million dollars?

It's a lot of work to get out $7.5 million, isn't it? You have to invest $1.44 million on Skype's side, which is $9 million!

A large portion of your Amico stock is a block trade that must be locked up for a year and cannot be sold right now.

And you still owe Firstrade $5 million!

Tell me, where does this money come from? "

Seeing Andrew whose face was so angry that he was about to change shape, Xia Jingxing was not angry, but felt that Andrew was a very good friend.

Because apart from him and Iron Man, it is estimated that few people in the world dare to invest heavily in the field of electric vehicles.

The U.S. government stopped new energy subsidies, and the century-old car company GM recalled and destroyed electric vehicles...

Against this background, most people believe that the future of electric vehicles is doomed to darkness.

Andrew is a law student, has no engineering background, and is limited by the vision of the times. It is normal that he is not optimistic about electric vehicles.

"Andrew, I know you are well-intentioned."

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "But the launch of any new technology is destined to face doubt and distrust.

A few decades ago, can people think that people today can meet new friends through the Internet and through social networks? Can we chat freely online?

To this day, some people still adhere to the "Internet Collapse Theory" and predict that the Internet will collapse technologically in the next few years.

In the early 1990s, the father of Ethernet, Dr. Robert Metcalfe, predicted that the Internet would collapse due to overload.

"As more and more users started connecting to the Internet, sooner or later the Internet would become overloaded into a spectacular supernova, with a catastrophic collapse in 1996," he said.

If this Internet doesn't collapse, he eats the newspapers that publish his prophecies.

However, the catastrophic collapse predicted by the father of Ethernet did not occur. Instead, centralized servers contributed to the rise of new businesses - CDN service providers were born.

In the end, Robert ate the newspaper in front of the reporter. "

Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "Now, the development of the Internet is booming.

According to Moore's Law proposed by Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel, bandwidth resources can double every 18 months, but

continue reading! The current network traffic, however, is doubling every 12 months.

So people jumped out from time to time on the Internet to predict that the growth rate of traffic on the Internet exceeded the growth rate of processing power, and eventually the network would collapse. "

Xia Jingxing crossed his arms, looked at Andrew, and asked, "Do you think the Internet will collapse?"

Andrew shook his head, "It's hard to say, it depends on the development of technology."

"Then you invest in Facebook, isn't it very risky?"

Andrew shook his head again, "It's two different things, I lost money on Facebook, and it's only $250,000, so I'm less likely to flirt with girls in the future.

You lost your investment, and that's $100 million. Do you really want to jump on the Golden Gate Bridge? "

Xia Jingxing smiled and did not answer. Cloud computing, quantum computing...the birth of these new technologies has been driving the development of the information industry forward.

The same is true for Tesla. In the future, battery technology will become more and more mature. Electric vehicles will have stronger battery life, faster and more convenient charging. Step by step, they will fill the gap and gap between fuel vehicles and fuel vehicles until they completely replace each other.

It was just that these words could not be told to Andrew, Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "The biggest problem with electric vehicles is their battery technology, I believe that like the Internet, the technology will become more and more mature.

Besides, it's not just about investing $100 million.

I'm not stupid, it's all step by step.

If the development is not ideal, other than 7.5 million US dollars, there will be no follow-up investment.

If it is determined that there is no need to invest again, it is not a big deal to release 10% of the equity. "

Andrew looked at Xia Jingxing's understated attitude, shrugged and said, "I'm afraid your 7.5 million dollars will be wasted. After all, it's not a small sum, it's all your hard work..."

Speaking of this, Andrew suddenly felt wrong and said with a smile: "It is not easy to make money in the stock market, and it is also hard work. It requires a lot of research and analysis work."

"In short, I have decided to invest in Tesla."

Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "Don't persuade me any more, $7.5 million is not a big amount for me anyway.

If Tesla is not successful, I will definitely continue to invest in other car companies in the electric field.

This is the future direction I am optimistic about and will not waver.

Besides, I will also be a celebrity in the future. How can I not make a contribution to the cause of environmental protection, protecting the earth's environment, saving the world, and benefiting all mankind? "

Andrew sneered, "Environmental protection is a fart, it's all about reputation, but if you really become a celebrity, you really need to "contribute to the earth"!"

Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "Aren't you doing it now?"

"Okay, since you are so determined to invest, I won't advise you."

Andrew patted Xia Jingxing on the shoulder, "Good luck! My friend."

After chatting with Andrew for about half an hour, Xia Jingxing took him back to Tesla again.

As soon as the two sat down, just when Andrew was about to draw up the investment intention agreement, Eberhard said, "Wait a minute!"

"Any questions?"

Xia Jingxing had a bad feeling in his heart, but he still pretended to be very calm.

"We've been in contact with two VCs before, and they've been saying that we need to think about it.

Just now, they called and decided to invest in Tesla! "

Abha

continue reading! Deccan smiled and spread out his hands, with a helpless look on his face.

"Oh, so coincidental?"

Andrew has seen all kinds of teachings and tricks, so naturally he doesn't believe this nonsense.

It must have been the half hour when the two of them went out just now. Eberhard contacted two venture capital companies, and then "accidentally" leaked out the news that Tesla was about to get financing.

These two venture capital companies, which were originally swaying, heard that someone had taken a fancy to Tesla, and the psychological balance was tilted towards the "investment" side.

Sometimes people's minds are so weird.

Don't give it to the door for nothing. When I heard other people take a fancy to it, my mentality immediately changed 180 degrees.

"How much did they pay?"

Xia Jingxing looked into Eberhard's eyes and asked lightly.
