Chapter 918 Grab the way of others, let others have no way to go

The atmosphere in the conference room became a little awkward during the quarrel. The biggest obstacle to the negotiations at present is that the seven founders of Tesla actually hope to retain some of the shares.

Especially Larry Page, Sergey and Ebay Jeff Schole, who is not short of money, are Martin Eberhard, who has been kicked out of the company and Musk, whose expression has been complicated and difficult to understand, are not entangled in this.

Elon Musk was forced by the board of directors to decide to accept Andy Smith's acquisition negotiations, and he has never been able to let go of the company's dominance that he had finally eroded step by step.

He had decided not to get involved in Tesla's business anymore, and should continue playing with his own rockets with the money. He didn't believe that the other side was always playing with his mobile phone. Everything that happened in the conference room was nothing to do with him. Ordinary young people would allow him to dominate the company's business.

You should know that this seemingly young genius is not a good person to be with. He is very good at acquiring and mergers and acquisitions, and has a ruthless and cunning external consensus. He lays off employees, kicks off the founder, and sends the corrupt subordinates to prison...

Although the group of professional managers under him were all like fish in water, it was because this young man could completely control these people. Everyone knew that Andy Smith's think tank was a group of military police. What he did was to help him handle the briefings of various companies every day and monitor the operations of each company. The financial directors and legal counsel of each company all went out of his think tank.

To be honest, only those who truly understand Andy's way of controlling the company will understand how rigorous and solid it is. In this case, he can of course give eOs a lot of power. Similarly, he can also dismiss any eO with a letter without causing company turmoil.

Musk is also a genius, and he is also known as a tyrant. He can be united by the company's employees when he gets married and is on his honeymoon. It is conceivable how unpopular his personality is.

He had already analyzed that he would not say that he would feel safe at all when he worked with Andy Smith, but he would also have to be honest and obedient and work hard. Once he violated him, Musk was very convinced that Andy Smith would kick him away without even blinking.

"Everyone, I'll just say it..." Andy paused the "Plant vs. Zombies" on his phone, raised his head and said with a smile on his face, quieting the conference room. After everyone's eyes focused on him, he continued.

"200 million US dollars, I want 100% of Tesla's shares. I don't like trouble and constraints. After taking over, I will definitely make some reforms to the company. Of course, you will still receive the limited edition of the founder of Tesla Supercar as a commemoration. After completing the first batch of orders, Tesla will conduct a round of financing. All the co-founders here will get priority. This can be written into the memorandum.

After all, Tesla will definitely suffer a great loss when delivering the first batch of orders. I don’t want you to regret and complain at that time. If you can’t hold 100% of the shares, then I can only apologize to you!”

Andy's words made the atmosphere in the conference room condense, especially Tesla executives, looking at each other and seeing concerns in each other's eyes. To be honest, the management of Tesla companies, such a young rich man who is not short of money, don't worry about having no money to burn, don't even be able to pay the niggas like now.

But at the same time, they were the most worried and nervous group of people, because this boss who was about to take over the company was a cruel and ruthless person, and the one who was wielding a big guillotine on the layoffs was a sixth. OK? Now, when I heard that it was necessary to make rectifications. This rectification will definitely start with layoffs.

But they had no choice but to watch. After all, the ones they work are fish on the chopping board, and they can do whatever they want.

Andy's words were almost the final decision. He was not short of the money from these people. When his acquisition was completed, he raised the price of the first batch of orders under pressure, minimized the losses, and then began to use big moves to speculate on new concepts and boost the company's valuation. Only after he made the first round of financing will he carry out the first round of financing, so that the four rounds of financing can be easily pushed onto the iPo.

In fact, Larry Page and others also saw that Andy was willing to invest in the project they were optimistic about and was reluctant to leave. No one could tell whether Tesla would soar into the sky in the hands of Andy. If it soared into the sky, then you wouldn't regret it. Anyway, there wasn't much money, so it would be nice to keep some shares to appreciate.

No one is a fool. Andy's words are very clear. I don't want to take you to play now, because the company's shares are now bargain. Wait, wait, wait for me to increase the company's valuation. You still want me to take you to play. You have priority for the first round of financing.

Larry Page and others also knew that they had no choice but to do so unless they didn't want to reach the acquisition, either they would continue to spend money to make Musk burn, or they would watch Tesla file for bankruptcy. You should know that there were still a group of employees outside waiting to be fed.

Without continuing to get entangled, the following negotiations began to enter a simple mode, with various asset reconciliation, financial handover, and documents passed on signatures in front of Musk, shareholders and Andy. Although it seemed very busy, the whole process was very smooth.

"Pai Pa"

In the conference room, after Andy and Musk handed over the contract, applause rang out when the two shook hands. Although it was warm, the smiles on the faces of others except Andy's side were somewhat dull and tasteless.

The tall and graceful Tory Black handed Andy seven white envelopes, and shareholders, including Musk, all saw that the first envelope was handed out by Andy and handed it to Musk.

“Happy cooperation.”

“Happy cooperation.”…

The check has been handed over, no matter whether you are happy or happy or not, the transaction has been reached. Tesla has already belonged to Andy Smith from this moment. This group of people will need to attend the press conference tomorrow and tell the outside world and Tesla customers that Andy Smith, who is not short of money, took over Tesla and continued to develop clean and environmentally friendly electric cars.

After seeing off the former shareholders, Andy looked around with a smile on his face from the Tesla management and development team that had been left behind for a week and clapped.

"Bang!"

"Okay, everyone, now you are the only one left. Come on, everyone, let's have a meeting!"

Andy stood on the main seat of the conference table, with a smile on her face maintained from beginning to end, holding a sign pen in her hand and pressing vertically on the conference table. After waiting for everyone to sit down, she smiled and said, "From the moment we signed, we are all a family. I know that you are inevitably a little complicated and nervous now. Maybe you have heard some rumors about me.

OK, I admit that I did think about laying off employees on Tesla, but one person convinced me. To be honest, it is difficult for me to convince, but I have to believe this person. Are you curious about who this person is? Haha, okay, I won’t keep it. Come in, Martin…”

Everyone in the conference room was stunned when they heard Andy's shouting Martin, and turned their heads to look at the opened door and the extremely familiar face that had just left the conference room. Tesla's management applauded excitedly.

They probably guessed that the real founder of Martin Eberhard was recruited by the new boss again.

"Haha, okay, Martin come and sit here, everyone, let's sit down too, let's continue the meeting..." Andy chuckled twice, let Martin sit in the first position on his left hand, then looked around for a week, and said indifferently: "Although there will be no layoffs, salary will drop by 25%. I hope you all understand the predicament Tesla is currently in."

Everyone in Tesla's management secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there is no layoffs, salary cuts are still acceptable. Especially now, the world is affected by the economic crisis. Gigabytes like General Motors have begun to lay off employees on a large scale, and salary cuts are completely acceptable.

"The personnel appointments will be adjusted. The biggest problem we are facing now is the cost of mass production models of Tesla electric sports cars. The first batch of orders will definitely lose money to sell the car. We can only grit our teeth and increase the selling price. After all, there are terms in the pre-sale contract. However, in order to reduce the credit damage to the company, we also accept unsubscribe."

As soon as Andy finished speaking, the conference room was in an uproar and he started to talk in a mess. Andy coughed lightly, and after everyone stopped, he said calmly: "Raise the price to 110,000 US dollars, and start forming a negotiation team to find Panasonic and Mercedes-Benz to re-determine the price!

Today, Tesla has a battery from Panasonic and a carriage from Mercedes-Benz. Tesla's uniqueness is motor technology and battery management technology. However, this is not such an out of reach technology. The difficulty of being replaced and surpassed is not very difficult for those car manufacturers in the past century or manufacturers with technical accumulation.

So, Martin, I will arrange for you a financial accounting team to join your technical development team, and continue to develop our Tesla's unique new technologies, motor, battery and battery management technologies while reasonably controlling costs, and establish a relatively complete product technology system and charging technology system. In the future, we will also start to build super charging stations on a large scale according to our own charging technology standards.

According to the trend of increasing the energy density of lithium-ion batteries by 8% per year, and the corresponding cost reduction, the cost price of our electric vehicles will become lower and lower, and we Tesla cars will be present all over the world. The coolest thing is to make popular products and fashionable products, which will save the world... "

There was warm applause in the conference room. No one would underestimate the young boss standing in the main position. Every word he said was pointing to the center of gravity of Tesla, and it also pointed out a path of R&D for Tesla's future. If you are not excited, it would be fake. As expected, the reputation of genius was not revealed, and he really understood.

Andy smiled and pressed down slightly with his hands, but the applause was still constant. He could only raise his voice and said: "Of course we will make money, make a lot of money! When the time comes, I will take out shares to establish equity incentives. Our Tesla will be the future of the automobile industry, and all rumors that Tesla is destined to go bankrupt will be self-defeating..."

The applause in the conference room was thunderous, and the cheers seemed to tear apart the clouds that could not be dispersed above Tesla's head!
Chapter completed!
