Chapter eight hundred and eighty fifth bragging 13 and real bull 13

In Andy's previous life, many people thought Elon Musk was more like a dreamer than an entrepreneur. From a corporate perspective, Musk's three companies, electric vehicles, aerospace and solar energy, have poor profitability.

However, at least the electric car has been launched, and the solar energy company has won the government's purchase order, and only this rocket company has become the biggest loss-making product.

In Silicon Valley, Musk is a very controversial person. Most people in the IT industry don’t like him. He has a tyrant personality, a hot temper, and a very difficult person to get along with. You can imagine that while he gets married and goes on a honeymoon, employees can change their employees and jointly impeach him and prevent him from being a CEO. This shows that this guy is not popular.

Andy knew that this guy's rocket was successfully launched once, and he cheated a lot of money from the US government. Tesla's electric car was successfully launched and raised funds. This can be invested in, and the solar energy project is also pretty good.

Although Elon Musk is a very powerful marketing expert, he is also a big talk king. Many of his words can only be heard as stories, but they cannot be true.

What Andy remembers most is that he wants to put more than 4,000 satellites into a global IFI so that people around the world can access the Internet at high speed. Well, this is more waiting than Xiao Mazi's drone IFI.

He also had to use his rocket to send passengers from New York to the Magic City at a speed of 27,000 kilometers per hour, which took only 39 minutes...

He wanted to build a vacuum pipeline high-speed capsule train to shorten the passage from San Francisco to Los Angeles to 35 minutes. After hearing what he said, the United States, which did not even have a high-speed rail, suddenly entered the science fiction era.

I really don’t know what the consortiums like those who control energy, the Rockefeller family of civil aviation, the Morgan family of railways, the Citi consortium of Boeing, the Mellon family of tire industry, and the DuPont consortium of GM would feel, and would he let him lay such vacuum pipelines in the United States...

Not to mention what he said about Mars immigration. Maybe he really wanted to build a rocket and launch his coffin on Mars.

The pictures he depicts are more moving than the other, but most of them are flowers in the mirror and moon in the water. Strangely, some stories about him have become the soul of the public, and many people are drinking it happily.

"Al, I heard that Musk is almost pauper. Some media said that his account is only hundreds of thousands of dollars..."

Andy browsed the electric car and solar energy documents roughly, threw them on the desk, picked up the coffee that the little assistant had made for him again, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It should be almost the same. His only $100 million is in the Rockets company, and it can support him to launch the Rockets twice. In addition, he just divorced... he is now a poor man."

"Haha, I think many people in Silicon Valley will celebrate with champagne. This guy is just like Larry Ellison, and it's so annoying. The last time I attended Jobs' cocktail party, I watched him with my own eyes nod after Larry Page introduced Musk, and turned around and left. He didn't even have the interest to shake hands with him. Musk was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed, haha..."

Alvetre looked at the young boss with a bit of malicious smile and shook his head and laughed. Musk is now facing a big problem, and both Tesla and Spaex are on the verge of bankruptcy. He is facing a dilemma, either saving Spaex or Tesla alone or distributing funds equally. Even splitting funds is not an ideal solution, because financial difficulties are likely to cause all of these two companies to go bankrupt. If all the funds are invested in one company and the other company will definitely go bankrupt, he is now borrowing money from all relatives and friends, and at the same time starting to lay off employees on a large scale.

Moreover, Martin Eberhard, one of the founders of Tesla, who started a business with Musk, was also staged a scene of the founder leaving, and Musk, who has completely gotten the choice between Tesla's company, is now facing the choice between Rockets and Automobile.

"Tell me, Al, I don't think you will put these projects in front of me casually."

Andy knew that as his chief think tank, Alvetre would never choose to lose money projects to allow him to invest in.

"Boss, do you know how much you are now?" Al asked at Andy with a serious expression.

"Fund or all industries?" Andy curled his lips and joked happily.

"The newly acquired Bloomberg shares of $3.3 billion, Facebook shares, amc cable TV currently has a market value of $5 billion, Marvel Entertainment Group has a market value of $2.5 billion, sports investment company has a market value of $2.2 billion, Mockingbird Games company has a valuation of $3 billion, Wattsp app valuation of $2 billion, Moussica cloud computing... Free City app mall... Copyright company...

The combined valuation of these companies' assets has exceeded US$21 billion. If you add the funds you hold now, your assets have reached US$36 billion. In May of this year, you are likely to enter the top ten. Oh my God, boss, have you ever thought about it? The top ten billionaires in the 24-year-old rich list, none of the high-quality companies under your name are listed companies…”

Andy naturally knew how many assets he had, but in his opinion, this was just the total asset value. The company's valuation was considered gross and it was not listed. You should know that he still owed a lot of debts to the bank, and all the companies were non-public private assets. Even if Forbes collected comparable valuations, it would drop by 5%, and the credibility would be marked as one star.

What's more, most of his companies are in debt. Marvel Entertainment, which has a market value of 2.5 billion, was acquired by high leverage, and only spent $500 million on his own. All the rest is Bank of America's money. It's no secret that Marvel needs to try hard to help him earn money and return it to Bank of America.

The total asset value of more than 36 billion seems to be very intimidating. In fact, it is already very good for him to have 20 billion. After all, the bank's money has to be paid back, but fortunately, most of the companies under his command are very profitable. Of course, for example, several IT companies are bottomless pits that burn money. Not only does it not make money, but they also need to fill in the pit. If it goes public, his personal assets will rise like a rocket.

However, listing is indeed a problem. All such profitable companies are private companies, which will make American people question it. Maybe once Forbes announces the ranking, some media and people will jump out and ask Andy to take out a certain company to list. Of course, more interest groups will fan the flames and ask Andy to share.

However, most of the companies in Andy now have his own private property. Even if there are several companies with other shareholders, there will definitely not be more than three, let alone the shareholder scale of 500 people who need to disclose financial information to the public. (That is, the US Securities and Exchange Commission is forcing it to go public)

Both Microsoft and Google distributed large amounts of stocks to their employees in order to retain talents, with more than 500 shareholders and were forcibly taken to the IPO road.

To be honest, Andy's IT companies will eventually issue shares to their management and employees. Only in this way can talents be retained. As long as Andy dares to be stingy, his talents will be immediately poached by other companies, and this share will not be far away.

However, now companies such as Wattsp app or Mussica cloud computing and app mall still need to grow, so Andy naturally cannot launch them. Even if he wants to ipo, Andy, a greedy guy, has to conduct three rounds of financing, squeeze out the oil and water, and raise the valuation before choosing to go public.

"You want me to pick one, and then spend money to make a product and launch it as a shield?" Andy asked with a frown and reached out to pat the three folders.

"That's right, the IT companies you founded by your own boss are still in the growth stage, and the Wattsp app is currently developing rapidly and can enter the ranks of money burning. Instagram (photo wall) may come from behind to start a large-scale money burning to crack down on Twitter and seize the market. You need to prepare for financing in advance.

Among these three projects, I am most optimistic about Tesla electric cars. Now you don’t need much money to pack it up and then spend money to speed up research and development. The boss uses your personal influence to market it personally. When the car is built, we will promote it, put it into production and sales, and then start the iPo immediately. In this way, boss can you let other companies develop slowly and not leave the impression of eating alone, and thus be isolated and targeted. We cannot repeat the mistakes of American Online."

Andy pondered about this and did not comment. He would have taken out several IT companies to go public for financing. After all, this is the fastest way to make money and the best way to quickly occupy the market and eliminate all competitors with a large number of American dollars. However, game companies, copyright companies, and sports investment companies will not throw out any shares.

After chatting with Alvetle for a while, when Andy was the only one left in the office, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the scenery of Manhattan. He felt indescribable. Whether he owed more than 10 billion US dollars in debt from the bank, his total assets had finally reached this level, 36 billion!

"Maybe in this financial storm, I can really tumbling it down in one go!"
