My Age of Investment

  Chapter 399 Beating (seeking monthly ticket)

  In a car racing field in San Francisco, four black and four red sports cars were racing on the track, performing a fast chase.

  The test crews are all Tesla engineers. Xia Jingxing, Eberhard and Tarpening are quietly observing outside the field, chatting a few words from time to time, and commenting on the car.

  "Dalun, you can see it now, we already have the capacity for mass production, and the first model basically has no defects."

  Eberhard pointed to the field in front of him, “Look, compared to gasoline vehicles, they are almost completely unwind.”

  As soon as the voice fell, a red Tesla stopped by the edge of the track.

   A young white male employee drilled out of the car. He walked to the side in silence, leaving the car in place.

  Xia Jingxing didn't take it seriously, thinking that it was discussed between the employees. Everyone changed and everyone had a share.

  But shortly afterwards, the second, third...a total of eight cars, all stopped.

  After the driver got out of the car, no one would replace them to continue driving.

  "What is this? How come after running for a few minutes and not running?"

   Facing Xia Jingxing’s question, Tarpenning smiled awkwardly, “I told them to avoid overheating the car and take a break after driving for five minutes.”

  Xia Jingxing suddenly became a little dissatisfied. He looked at Eberhard and said, “This is what you told me. There are almost no defects. Compared with fuel vehicles, there is no wind in the whole?

  Consumers buy this car and drive back for five minutes?

  This is a sports car, a means of transportation, not a toy car. "

   "Daren, listen to me to explain."

  Eberhard saw that the major shareholder was upset, knowing that he was too full of words, and he was beaten as soon as he finished speaking, and he wanted to find a place to get in.

  He explained with an old face blushing: “There will be a car exhibition in Santa Clara County in two days. Tesla has already communicated with the organizer and booked a booth.

  This is the first appearance of Tesla in front of the public. Therefore, it is better for us to be cautious. If the car is broken today, it will be embarrassing if there is no show car the day after tomorrow. "

   "Don't change the subject, you can drive the car broken in five minutes?"

  Xia Jingxing felt that the other party’s reason was simply lame and too foolish. The real reason was that there was a problem with the car.

  Tapening came out to make a round, "Daren, this is the case. The car does have a little problem. Compared with mature fuel cars, Tesla's body is prone to overheating.

  This problem, we are working to solve it, it is not a big problem. "

  Xia Jingxing's complexion still doesn't look good, and she has learned to deceive him, and it seems that he is still too tolerant and generous.

Tarpenning and Eberhard looked at Xia Jingxing, who had an ugly face, and glanced at each other, knowing that they had committed a taboo.

  "After the investment, I chose to continue to lead Tesla by the two of you. There is no substitution because I trust you.

  But your performance makes me very disappointed. "

  Xia Jingxing said with a stern face, "I hope this is the first and last time.

   Falsification, full of lies, this should not happen to a qualified manager.

  I know that electric vehicles are an industry that starts from scratch and builds from nothing. In the research and development process, it is destined to encounter many problems.

  Like the car body overheating problem, it was originally not a big deal, but you never told me.

  In your work emails, I only saw the vigorous and triumphant song.

  This is a typical report of good news but not bad news, and it also disrespects my performance.

  If there is another next time, I will consider holding a general meeting of shareholders to re-elect the management. "

  Xia Jingxing's words are very heavy, and he hardly shows any emotion.

  Originally this was not a big deal, but he used it once.

  He saw some signs of bad things about the two of them, and took the opportunity to beat them.

  Eberhard and Tarpening are Tesla’s management, as well as founders and shareholders.

  After two rounds of financing, A and B, the two still hold 31.75% of Tesla.

  Because Tesla is not an AB share structure, even if the voting rights of the employee option pool held by two people are included, the voting rights PK are weaker than Xia Jingxing and Envision Capital.

   was reprimanded by Xia Jingxing, and the two of them couldn't hold back their faces.

   However, he knew that he was wrong, and Xia Jingxing was so powerful that the two of them did not dare to talk back, but looked at the car racing field in the distance.

  The three people stood in the stands of the stadium, and the employees were all by the track under the stage, watching the car at close range.

  So there is no one else beside the three of them. The reprimand of Xia Jingxing just now doesn't have to worry about being heard by the staff.

  This is what Xia Jingxing considered, to preserve the face of the two in front of his subordinates.

  If you reprimand two people in front of a group of employees, not to mention whether the two will have resentment for losing face, in terms of personal prestige, it will suffer a lot, and the team will be difficult to lead in the future.

  In short, Xia Jingxing thinks he has done a reasonable job and feels at ease.

  Investment, especially most equity investment and holding investment, will face many problems.

  It is necessary to win over the management, but also need to pay attention to the management's insubordination and tie an iron chain to the ambition.

  When things are irreversible, it is even more necessary to act decisively and quickly remove the sore.

  So from the outside world, capital is cold-blooded and ruthless, often kicking the founder out.

  In fact, there is more of a game of interests behind it, and there is no moral distinction.

  He has been engaged in the investment industry not long ago, and many things are still in the exploratory stage.

  But he knows that investing in so many companies can't always be a group of peace, there are rivers and lakes where there are people.

  Once there is a problem, avoiding it is not the solution. It will only make people feel weak and foolish.

  Be sure to be strong when you are strong, draw a bottom line and warn you not to cross the boundary to ensure that your rights are not violated.

  The things they committed this time are not too big, but as long as he reveals it lightly, there may be second, third... countless times later.

  Also, it may be more serious every time. This time it is concealing the car's problems, and the next time it is concealing the company's financial problems, or even more exaggerated things.

Eberhard and Tarpening were silent for a while.

  Tapening took the lead in breaking the deadlock and said: "Darren, we are not right about this, I apologize to you.

  Behind, we promise that this will not happen again, and hope you can forgive us this time. "

Eberhard is now experiencing what it means to be involuntary. Perhaps from the moment he lost his seat as a major shareholder, Tesla is no longer the Tesla of the two of them. In the company, it is no longer the same. People.

  Before, Xia Jingxing was harmless to humans and animals, as if he wanted to support them to the end, but now finally revealed the fangs of capital.

   also threatened to replace them!

  To be honest, if it weren’t for the fear of Xia Jingxing and Envision Capital’s high stakes in Tesla, he really wanted to have a good theory with Xia Jingxing.

  They are also shareholders, not someone's subordinates.

  But in real life, they have to bow their heads.

  So after a difficult psychological struggle, Eberhard said reluctantly: "I promise, there will be no next time, and I will inform you of everything in the future, no matter the big or small matter."

  Xia Jingxing immediately heard the slightest dissatisfaction in Eberhard's words.

  He didn’t hold on anymore, because at the moment he doesn’t have absolute control over Tesla. There is a conflict, and the project is shut down. It is his major shareholder who suffers the most.

   nodded, this matter was turned over, and I won’t mention it again.

  After the car was parked and cooled for a while, the second round of testing began again.

  This time there are no more eight cars, but four groups, two cars each, one red and one black car.

  One group of cars ran on the track for five minutes, and then the second group was rotated.

  Except for the employees who participated in the rotation test, the rest were cheerleaders, cheering on the side of the track, and the scene was full of hustle and bustle.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the lively scene off the stage, then looked at the two people who didn't say a word next to him, and knew that they still had a knot in their minds.

   "Let's go, run one round at the end."

  Xia Jingxing took the initiative to break the embarrassment and invited the two to go racing, which also gave them a step down.

  Tapening was stunned at first, but soon realized that this was a good opportunity to repair the relationship, and said with a smile: "Okay, then run."

   And Eberhard nodded reluctantly.

  It looks like, I haven’t gotten out of what I just said.

  Xia Jingxing directly regarded Eberhard’s face as if he hadn’t understood Eberhard’s face, and took the lead to step off the stands and walk towards the crowd.

   Tarpenning tried to follow, but found that Eberhard was walking slowly.

  He patted his partner on the shoulder, and put it up again. With a little bit of force on his hand, he pushed Eberhard, who was a faceless face, out of the stands.

  　Thank you for a wowful wind shadow, 66 all the way to the left, book friends 20201009194742567, old besieged city rewards!
