    Although the previous Tesla model appeared in 2009, it was actually only officially launched at the end of 2011 and the first car was delivered in 2012.  This life is different. With Xiao Qi's strong financial support and various technical support from Fairy Laboratory, Tesla's research and development pace has been further accelerated. In addition, it already has a roadster foundation, so it is possible to touch DELs so quickly.  successfully launched.  Of course, according to Musk¡¯s requirements, it should actually be released as early as the end of 2010.  But what Xiao Qi, the major shareholder, means is to put the car on the market first and let the market test the car's capabilities before talking about subsequent improvements.  Because the car is never perfect.  In fact, Xiao Qi made this decision after seeing the enthusiasm of Americans for electric vehicles and Tesla in his previous life, and knowing how popular the Model DEL car would be.  And Tesla¡¯s Fremont factory originally didn¡¯t even have a production capacity of 30,000 vehicles a month. Xiao Qi also actively supported it, and then invested 50 million in the factory to increase the production capacity to 30,000.  Facts have proved that Xiao Qi¡¯s decision was also correct. Tesla, which had been struggling, received orders for 170,000 vehicles in one go with the emergence of Models, with an estimated pre-tax profit of up to 1.5 billion.  US dollars.  Although this amount is not too much, and is more than six months on average, it is already a joy for Tesla, which has been losing money for several years and drained Musk's last penny.  Encouraging results.  A very drunk Masco called Xiao Qi. After a series of "thank you", he actually started crying. This shows how much pressure he has been under in recent years and how heavy the burden he has been.  ¡°Masco regards Xiao Qi as his boss, if Xiao Qi hadn¡¯t invested more than 700 million US dollars in succession.  If Xiao Qi had not asked Fairy Lab to fully support the intelligent integrated system and the use of LCD touch functions, the development of touch dels would not have been so fast, and various follow-up work would not have been as good as it was.  The effect cannot be so good.  ¡°In fact, he didn¡¯t know that if he hadn¡¯t come to China a few months earlier, he would have been able to get hundreds of millions of dollars in interest-free loans from the U.S. Department of Energy.  It¡¯s just Xiao Qi¡¯s good luck that he entered the company when Tesla was at its lowest ebb and became the company¡¯s largest shareholder.  Wait until Masco wakes up.  Another call was made to Xiao Qi.  He wants to discuss with Xiao Qi the expansion of production at the Fremont factory and where Tesla will go next.  It is imperative to expand the production capacity of the Fremont factory.  ¡°It¡¯s just that Masco still has some doubts about the follow-up of touching dels, fearing that this is a sweet dream, and his true colors will be revealed when he wakes up.  So he just wants to expand the factory to an annual production capacity of 500,000 vehicles.  But Xiao Qi¡¯s opinion is to directly expand to 800,000 vehicles, and this is only the first step. In the second step, when Tesla develops several other cars in the laboratory, the scale of the factory will reach 2 million vehicles.  .     Yes.  Tesla¡¯s technical reserves are very strong.  The current touch dels technology was actually almost mature two years ago.  Otherwise, how could it be launched so quickly?  "Masco will never put a bad product on the market. Even if Xiao Qi is the largest shareholder, he will not change his insistence.  In their laboratory, in addition to the Models coupe, there is also an off-road vehicle, a pickup truck, and a small family car.  Among them, the technology of small family cars is completely mature, but off-road vehicles and pickup trucks are stuck in power output, but they have bought some technology patents from Ford and Toyota.  We are currently working hard to solve the problem, and I believe there will be good news in a year or two.  Xiao Qi¡¯s shares are 42%, Masco¡¯s is 28%, and their combined shares are 70%.  Enough to decide everything about the company.  So after a slight disagreement, they made a slight concession and reached the decision to produce 250,000 vehicles in the first half of next year and 400,000 vehicles in the second half of next year.  This matter is easy to solve, but the second matter is a bit troublesome.  ¡°Musco has a comprehensive design for Tesla¡¯s future.  Tesla represents the future of electric vehicles.  It is also the development direction of clean energy vehicles in the future.  So this requires huge investment so that Tesla can develop more and better vehicles. Tesla also wants to do cars that will fly in the air by magnetic levitation in the future.  High technology inevitably means high investment.  It is conceivable that we want to achieveHow much money will Tesla spend for this purpose?  Therefore, in Musk¡¯s view, if you want to get more R&D funds, you must take Tesla public so that more money can come in to support their R&D.  But Xiao Qi thought differently. He told Masco, I will pay for all the funds you want, and everything will be calculated according to shares.  Anyway, going public will dilute everyone¡¯s shares, which is the same effect as my capital injection.  If Tesla is not listed, Tesla can also have a more flexible development method. It does not need to care about the supervision of the stock market or the issue of profit returns, as long as it concentrates on research and development.  Masco actually agrees very much with Xiao Qi's statement. He is a pure idealist and doesn't like to do things for the sake of money, and he doesn't like others to disturb his research and development for the sake of money. Don't doubt it.  , since selling PayPal, all his money has been invested in Tesla and spaex, and in the end he kept borrowing money to invest. No one can do it without great love.  Tesla is currently the company most likely to shine. If it continues to develop, its development will be very good. To be precise, it will be very profitable. The initial investment is absolutely nothing, so if it does not go public, it will be very difficult for Musk.  A little better.  But the key is that Musk also has an unspoken reason.  That is related to the rocket launch company spaex.  Tesla is burning a lot of money. The more than 700 million US dollars invested by Xiao Qi have been spent this year.  But compared to spaex, this little money is nothing. ? 70% of Masco¡¯s family property was actually invested in spaex, and Xiao Qi also invested 600 million US dollars in it, but in just half a year, it was all spent.  Seeing that there is still a long way to go before output, these wealthy shareholders of spaex could only invest again in January, with a total of 500 million US dollars, but no one knew that this 500 million  How long can U.S. dollars be used?  Musk is worried that these shareholders will eventually withdraw their capital and leave because they cannot bear the high costs and the long wait for returns.  At that time, he can only bear the main responsibility for the continued development of spaex, so astronomical amounts of money will be needed.  And where does this money come from?  It can only come from Tesla.  Tesla's profits alone cannot support it, so Musk thought of taking Tesla public and letting people in the market pursue it, and then increase the value of Tesla tenfold or dozens of times, so that he could  You can continue to sell shares to cash out to support the development of spaex.  ¡°If we follow Xiao Qi¡¯s idea, Tesla¡¯s market value could expand to ten times, which is already a limit, and far less than the market value that has been amplified by the market bubble.  In this regard, Masco felt a little sorry for Xiao Qi, an investor, but for his own ideals, he could only think of this method.  ¡°Besides, he felt that Xiao Qi bought Tesla¡¯s shares just to make money. Now that he is helping Xiao Qi make a lot of money, it is not a bad result.  But he couldn¡¯t say the words, so he could only stubbornly insist that he wanted Tesla to go public.  Xiao Qi didn¡¯t know what Masco was thinking, and he was a little helpless about Masco¡¯s stubbornness, but he also understood these Americans.  When Americans start a company, there are very few who don¡¯t hope to gain fame and fortune by taking a lap in the stock market.  Therefore, Xiao Qi has also made plans to list Tesla, hoping to acquire as many Tesla shares as possible. After all, Tesla represents the huge development potential of future smart cars and should not be missed.  The reason why the automobile industry is so difficult now is that on the one hand, the labor force is constantly increasing, and on the other hand, the government is becoming more and more strict, whether it is taxes or other restrictions.  But electric vehicles are different. Clean energy has always been supported by the government. For this reason, the government can not only reduce taxes, but also create various favorable conditions for it to continue to promote and flourish.  This is also an important reason why Tesla in its previous life received so much support and was so popular in the stock market.  If the Xiao family can gain enough rights in this area, it will definitely have more room for development in the field of intelligence in the future.  However, I think so, but Xiao Qi will not let Musk take Tesla public so easily.  An important reason is that Tesla has just launched Model DELs, which is a killer that can push Tesla's stock price up to 200% in more than a year. We must wait for its full release.  After showing his strength,Only then can people better understand the value of Tesla and avoid selling gold as stone.  Another important reason is that the U.S. stock market is still at a low ebb, and it will have to wait until 2013 for it to gradually recover. ?????????????????????? Fae wave OK and titter are all preparing to go public in turn in the past two years. Tesla does not need to compete with them for funds in these markets. It is the best strategy for us to separate and move forward step by step.  (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
