American Fortune Life

In Andy's past life, many people thought Elon Musk was more like a dreamer than an entrepreneur. From a corporate perspective, the profitability of Masque's electric cars, space and solar companies is too poor.

But at least the electric car was on the market, and the solar company took the government's purchase order, and only this rocket company became the biggest loser.

In Silicon Valley, Musk is a very controversial man, most people in the IT world don't like him, he is a tyrant character, a hot temper, and a very difficult and difficult person to get along with. Imagine, while he is married on his honeymoon, the employee zheng can change, jointly impeach him, don't let him be CEO, enough to see that the goods are not being treated.

Andy knew this guy's rocket launch had been successful, he had cheated a lot of money from the U.S. government, and Tesla electric cars had been successfully marketed for financing, which he could invest in, and the solar project was good.

Although this Elon Musk is a very good marketing expert, he is also a big story king, and he can only listen to stories and not take them seriously.

What Andy remembers most is that he's going to play more than 4,000 satellites to form a global WIFI that gives people high-speed access to the Internet, well, that's even more so than Xiao Mako's drone, WIFI.

He also sends travelers from New York to Demon City at 27,000 km/h with his rocket, only 39 minutes...

He's going to build a vacuum pipeline —— a high-speed capsule train that cuts San Francisco to LA by 35 minutes, and hearing him say that the United States, which doesn't even have a single high-speed train, has entered the science fiction era all of a sudden.

I don't know what it's like to have the Rockefeller family that controls energy, the Morgan family that controls railroads, the flag consortium that hosts Boeing, the Mellon family that owns the tire industry, the DuPont consortium that controls General Motors.

Not to mention his meow about Mars emigration, meow, maybe he really wants to build a rocket to launch his coffin onto Mars.

He painted a picture that was more moving than a picture, but mostly mirrored flowers and moons. Strangely enough, some of the stories about him have become the soup of the public, and many people still drink beauty.

“Al, I heard that Musk was going to be poor, and the press said he only had hundreds of thousands of dollars in his account... ”

Andy browsed the electric bike and solar files roughly, threw them on his desk, picked up the assistant's coffee and made it back for him, sewed his eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

“I think he's got about 100 million dollars in the rocket company, and he's got two rocket launches, plus just divorced... He's a poor man now. ”

“Oh, a lot of people in Silicon Valley are going to have a champagne celebration. This guy, like Larry Ellison, is so annoying. The last time I went to Jobs' bar, I saw Jobs with my own eyes. After Larry Peggy introduced Musk, he nodded his head, turned away, didn't even have any interest in shaking his hand, embarrassed Musk to death, haha... ”

Alvitelli looked at the young boss with a slightly unfavourable smile and also shook his head and laughed. The Musk guy now has a big problem and Tesla and SpaceX are on the verge of bankruptcy. He faced a difficult dilemma, either to save SpaceX or Tesla alone or to distribute funds equally. Even an equitable sharing of funds is not the ideal solution, as financial difficulties are likely to result in the total insolvency of both companies. Instead of putting all the money into one company, another would surely go bankrupt, and he was now borrowing money from all his friends and family, and had begun a massive lay-off.

And Martin Alberhard, one of the founders of the Tesla company that came out with Musk, was also featured in a show where the founder ran away, completely getting Tesla Musk now facing the choice of rocket or car.

“Go ahead, Al, I don't think you're just going to randomly put these items in front of me. ”

Andy knew that Alvitelli, as his chief thinker, would never randomly choose a money-losing project to invest in him.

“Boss, do you know how much you're worth right now?” Al looked seriously at Andy and asked.

“Funds or all industries?” Andy leaves his mouth shut and has some happy notes.

“Bloomberg just acquired $3.3 billion in shares, Facebook shares, AMC Cable TV currently worth $5 billion, Marvel Entertainment Group $2.5 billion, Sports Investment Company $2.2 billion, Mockery Bird Gaming Company valued $3 billion, Watsp APP valued $2 billion, Musica Cloud Computing. Free City APP Mall... Copyright company...

The asset valuations of these companies have already exceeded $21 billion, and if you add the funds you hold now, your assets have reached $36 billion, and you're likely to be in the top 10, for God's sake, boss, if you think about it, none of the top 10 billionaires in the 24-year-old billionaire list, none of the top quality companies in the name, are listed. ”

Andy naturally knows how much of his assets he has, but in his view it's just the total value of the assets, and the company's valuation is gross and unlisted. You know, he also owes a lot of money to banks, and all companies are private assets, and even if Forbes collects a comparable valuation of the company, it will decrease by 5%, and the credibility will be marked as a star.

Not to mention, the vast majority of his companies are indebted. Marvel Entertainment, with a market value of 2.5 billion, was bought at a high leverage, spending only 500 million dollars on himself. The rest is the money of the Bank of America. Marvel needs to help him earn money and return it to the Bank of America. It is no secret.

The total asset value of more than 36 billion seems frightening. In fact, it's nice to have 20 billion in his meow. After all, the bank's money is to be repaid, but the profitability of most of his companies is very high. Of course, for example, several IT companies are money burning bottomless holes, not only do they not make money, but they also need him to fill the hole inside. If listed, his personal assets will rise like rockets.

But listing is really a problem, and these profit-making companies, all private businesses, will make the American public question, and maybe once Forbes publishes the rankings, the media and the public will jump out and ask Andy to take a business out and list it, and of course, more interest groups will stir it up and ask Andy to share it.

However, the vast majority of companies Andy now owns are his own private property, and even if several companies had other shareholders, there would never be more than three, not to mention the size of 500 shareholders who needed to disclose financial information to the public. The SEC is pushing for it to go public.

Microsoft and Google are both trying to retain talent and distribute a large number of shares to their own employees, with over 500 shareholders being forced onto the path of IPO.

To be honest, Andy's IT companies will eventually be issuing shares to their management and employees, so that they can remain talented, and as long as Andy dares to slip, his people will be immediately dug up by other companies, and this share of shares, IPO, is not far away.

But now, whether it's Watsp APP or Musica Cloud computing, APP Mall companies need to grow, and Andy naturally can't push them out, and even if it's IPO, Andy, the greedy guy, has to do three rounds of financing before he can go public.

“You want me to pick one and burn the money to get the product out and push it out as a shield?” Andy frowned and patted himself on three folders and asked.

“That's right, boss, the IT companies that you created yourself are still growing, and just because Watsp APP is growing fast, you can go into the money burning industry. Instagram (Photo Wall) may later come to the top to burn money on a massive scale to fight Twitter, seize the market, and need to prepare for financing early.

My favorite of the three projects is Tesla Electric Vehicles. You don't need a lot of money to pack them and get them. Then you can throw in money to accelerate R&D. The boss will personally market them with your personal influence. When you make a car, we will publicize it, put it into production and sales, and start IPO immediately. So that the boss can be more tolerant and let other companies grow slowly, without giving the impression of eating alone, and thus be isolated. We can't repeat the same mistakes online in the United States. ”

Andy would have taken out a few IT companies for listing and financing. After all, this is the fastest way to circle money, the fastest way to occupy the market, and the best way to wipe out all competitors with a big knife, but like gaming companies, copyright companies, sports investment companies, they don't throw a few shares out.

After another chat with Alvitelli, when Andy was alone in the office, he walked to the floor window, overlooking the entire Manhattan landscape, feeling unspeakable, whether or not he owed the bank more than 10 billion dollars in debt, his total assets had finally reached that height, 36 billion!

“Maybe in this financial storm, I could really tune it! “
