My Age of Investment

  Chapter 175 There is another storm (seeking subscription and recommendation)

   Andrew is tall and fat, with great hand strength, Xia Jingxing is dragged by the factory building, and there is almost no resistance.

  Of course, mainly because Xia Jingxing didn't want to resist.

  After all, Eberhard and Tarpening are still watching, so you can't make people laugh.

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

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

   "It's far enough here, what you want to say, just say it!"

  Andrew pointed to the direction of the Tesla plant, with a look of excitement: "That group of people are crooks, electric cars, with the current technology, it is impossible to achieve mass production, at most a few hand-built cars!

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

  For a few cars, you have to drop in 100 million dollars!

  Such a large sum of money, what are you doing badly? Not to mention cars, you can buy a private jet!

  Dalun, as a friend, I don’t want to see you jump into such a big pit.

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

  It’s very hard to pay out 7.5 million dollars, right? At Scape, you have to chase 1.44 million US dollars, which is 9 million US dollars!

  A large part of your Amicco stock is a block trade, which must be locked for one year and cannot be sold yet.

  And you still owe First Securities US$5 million!

  You tell me, where does the money come from? "

   Seeing Andrew whose face was about to change in anger, 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 huge sums of money in the field of electric vehicles.

  The U.S. government stops new energy subsidies, and the century-old car company General Motors recalls and destroys electric vehicles...

  In this context, most people believe that the future of electric vehicles is destined to be dark.

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

   "Andrew, I know you are kind."

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

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

  Until today, some people still insist on the "Internet collapse theory" and predict that the Internet will surely collapse in the next few years.

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

  He said: As more and more users begin to access the Internet, sooner or later the Internet will become overloaded and become a spectacular supernova, and it will have a catastrophic collapse in 1996.

  If the Internet does not collapse, he will eat the newspaper that published his prophecy.

  However, the catastrophic collapse predicted by the father of Ethernet did not appear. Instead, centralized servers led to the rise of new businesses—the birth of CDN service providers.

  Finally, Robert ate the newspaper in front of the reporter. "

  Xia Jingxing said, "Now, the development of the Internet is thriving.

  According to Moore’s Law proposed by one of Intel’s founders, Gordon Moore, bandwidth resources can double every 18 months, but the current network traffic doubles every 12 months.

  So people on the Internet from time to time come out to predict: The growth rate of traffic on the Internet exceeds the growth rate of processing power, which will eventually cause the network to collapse. "

  Xia Jingxing put his hands on his chest, looked at Andrew, and asked, "Do you think the Internet will crash?"

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

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

  Andrew shook his head again, “These are two different things. I lost my investment in Facebook, which was only 250,000 US dollars.

  You have lost your investment. That's 100 million U.S. dollars. 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 promoting the development of the information industry.

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

  Just these words can’t be told to Andrew. Xia Jingxing smiled and said: “The biggest problem of electric vehicles is their battery technology. I believe that like the Internet, the technology will become more and more mature.

  Furthermore, it's not about investing 100 million U.S. dollars.

  I'm not stupid, I'm all gradual.

  If the development is not satisfactory, except for 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 no big deal to release 10% of the equity. "

  Andrew looked at Xia Jingxing’s understatement, shrugged and said, “I’m afraid that your 7.5 million dollars will be lost. 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’s not easy to make money in the stock market. It’s hard work and requires a lot of research and analysis.”

   "In short, I have decided that I must invest in Tesla."

  Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "Don't persuade me anymore. Anyway, 7.5 million US dollars is not a big sum for me.

  If Tesla is unsuccessful, I will definitely continue to invest in other car companies in the electric field.

  This is my optimistic future direction, and it will not waver.

  Furthermore, I will also be a celebrity in the future. How can I not make a contribution to environmental protection, protect the earth's environment, save the world, and benefit all mankind? "

  Andrew chuckled, "Environmental **** are for reputation, but if you want to become a celebrity, then you really need to "make a contribution to the earth"!"

  Xia Jingxing stalled, "Aren’t you doing it now?"

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

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

  Talking with Andrew for almost half an hour, Xia Jingxing took him back to Tesla.

  As soon as the two of them sat down, just as Andrew was preparing to draw up an investment agreement, Eberhard spoke, "Wait a minute!"

"Any questions?"

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

  "We have been in contact with two venture capitalists before, and they have always said that they need to think about it.

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

  Eberhard spread out his hands with a smile, looking helpless.

   "Oh, is it such a coincidence?"

  Andrew has seen all three religions and nine tiers, so naturally he doesn't believe this nonsense.

  It must have been just half an hour after the two of them went out. Eberhard contacted two venture capital companies, and then "accidentally" missed his words, revealing that Tesla is about to obtain financing.

  These two originally vacillating venture capital companies, when someone saw Tesla, the psychological balance tilted towards the “investment” side.

  Sometimes human psychology is so weird.

  Don't give it to the door for nothing. As soon as I heard other people's attention, my mentality immediately changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

  "How much do they pay?"

  Xia Jingxing looked at Eberhard’s eyes and asked faintly.
