Chapter 505 The Mysterious Reward of Fate Smoke

In the night in the Warner Penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Abel is naturally proud of the spring breeze.

There is no need to go into detail here.

If you want to describe it in detail, let's talk about it when the Harmony Beast ends up becoming a vegetarian.

The morning of the second day.

Abel held the first Internet video conference of all senior executives of his own companies.

From Alvertley of Oasis Investment to Rana, from Zhang Xianglin of the Sun Fund to Cary Garnett, from Elizabeth Holmes of the Red Giant to the two vice presidents of Victoria’s Secret, and even the two vice presidents on a private jet. David Adams marching in New York.

The network used is an encrypted signal network specially provided by Verizon Communications. The contact software is the company’s internal management software, which makes this meeting absolutely confidential, and ensures that the image signal and various sound signals can show more than 99% Perfect results.

A high-level video conference of Abel's internal company.

Looking at the video avatars of the executives on the screen in the computer in front of him, Abel smiled and waved to everyone: "Good morning everyone!"

The answer to him is naturally everyone's greetings.

Skip it here.

Then after everyone was quieter, Abel raised the main topic of today's video conference.

"Today is our first video conference. I have always had an idea to bring everyone together and have a good meeting. Then there has been no trip. Although today is not a face-to-face meeting, it is no different from a face-to-face meeting. Think of it as an internal meeting of the company in the future, a preview on the network video."

His opening remarks are ordinary.

Immediately afterwards, the most important topic of today's video conference was directly thrown out.

"There is only one thing to discuss today. That is, but then, is there any value in acquisition?"

"Please express your opinions."

After saying this, he stopped talking, but leaned on the chair with his arms folded and looked at the people on the screen.

Under his watch.

The two Victoria's Secret executives who are not very familiar are nervous.

Alvertley and Rana are the longest following Abel, so they are the most relaxed.

Although Elizabeth Holmes is actually next door to Abel, she still made the connection through video conference honestly.This is also the first time she has intervened in Abel's real decision-making team.

David Adams was doing nothing on the plane. He is now almost the manager of the energy or oil industry that Abel has scheduled for him.After all, he is the eldest brother and the rare elite of the young generation of Tianlong people, and he has been in the oil industry for 9 years.No matter in terms of intelligence, identity, experience, etc., they are completely qualified.The only thing that is still lacking is probably relatively young.

Zhang Xianglin and Cary Garnett are the most excited, they are the youngest of these people.Naturally, it is also the most radical and brave of these people.

Looking at the group of senior executives in front of them.

Abel feels that he is good in everything, but he still lacks high-end talents.Especially those high-end talents with connections and reputations in the industry, not even one.

Even Alvertley can only be counted as half. He used to be a deputy general manager at Sequoia Capital. This is the one with the best qualifications among all the talents under Abel.

Rana is similar.

others……

The two vice-presidents of Victoria's Secret, which have recently returned.Abel saw that their abilities were pretty good and they were doing things honestly, so he was ready to try it out.

Cary Garnett and Zhang Xianglin are both young people, both of whom have not long walked out of the ivory tower of the university. They may have abilities, but they are still lacking in terms of qualifications and experience.

David Adams, relying on the identity of the Adams family, is very popular in the country.However, in terms of ability, the partial subject is very serious. Only in oil, there is still a connection, and it is very accomplished in terms of contacts.

Elizabeth Holmes...I haven't taken off the big hat of the world's best female liar!Now in the business world, it is almost the one that everyone shouts and beats.

There is still a shortage of talents!

While waiting for everyone to speak, Abel thought so.

And the first guy to speak was the closest and most clever Carry Garnett.

This young blond guy, after less than a few dozen seconds of thinking, I spoke first.

"BOSS! From the perspective of an investment manager, this year's Tesla is definitely the kind of company that will be blacklisted! As far as I know, Tesla submitted documents at the end of January this year. The Rimont, Palo Alto, and Lathrop plants cut a total of 1,017 employees, but these layoffs are part of the previously announced layoff plan and are expected to account for 7% of the company’s total workforce. According to Tesla’s latest annual report, as of At the end of 2018, the company had 48,817 employees. By the end of 2017, the number was 53,800!"

"This reduction in scale is terrible! No normal company has laid off more than 110 employees in a year!"

"To sum up, based on this alone. I think Tesla is no longer worth investing in, and no longer worthy of pursuit! There is no need to look at its stocks, because if you look at Tesla stocks, you will It was even worse!"

A young man is a young man, and Abel looked at Cary Garnett with a fierce speech.

After Cary Garnett finished speaking, Aberha laughed and responded: "Hmm! From this perspective, Tesla is really bad now. But I remember, dear Cary, your car now seems It’s MODELX! I heard that you bought this Tesla product when you were in California. Then when you came to work in New York, you paid thousands of dollars to send it from California. Now it seems, You love Tesla’s cars, but you don’t love Tesla!"

Cary Garnett shrugged in the video, "BOSS! I just love the quietness and acceleration of trams! Although Tesla is very unbearable, the best electric car in the world is still Tes Pull……"

"Hmm..."

Abel nodded.

"This answer is quite satisfactory. What about the others? Do you have any constructive ideas for Elon Musk to come to me in person, hoping that I can invest in Tesla?"

When everyone saw the easy teasing of the boss and Cary Garnett, they were quite envious.Although relatively calm, Zhang Xianglin, who is also a young man, immediately followed:

"My opinion is the same as Cary. Now Musk is no longer the chairman of Tesla, and the largest shareholder of Tesla has openly declared in the media that Musk is not only unsuitable to be a Tesla director. Long, he is now a bit incompetent even as the CEO of Tesla."

"Almost half of the people chose to trust Tesla and invest in Tesla because of Musk. If Musk really loses his position as CEO, then Tesla's future must be very different. wonderful!"

"I also don't recommend investing."

"This is my personal opinion."

Zhang Xianglin concluded.

"Hmm!"

Abel nodded and motioned to everyone: "Go on..."

Seeing the two young men had spoken, Alvertley felt that he couldn't keep quiet.Facing the expansion of the boss's empire's territory, if he has been so flat, his future status may be taken away by other aggressive young people.

Alvertley didn't want this.

His calm third opening:

"In a research report released on Monday by the Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets, it warned its customers that when Silicon Valley electric car manufacturer Tesla released its fourth-quarter earnings report in December, demand for its products and the Tesla’s Model 3 delivery issues in markets outside the United States will put pressure on the company’s performance."

“This one of Canada’s largest brokerage firm lowered its forecast for Model 3 shipments in the fourth quarter from 57,000 to 52,500, and lowered its target price for Tesla’s stock by 14% from US$350 to 300. US dollars, which means that the Royal Bank of Canada Capital Markets believes that Tesla's stock price will fall by more than 20% in the next year."

"My opinion is that the current Tesla is not worth investing in. If it was 10 years ago, investing in Tesla would be a good business!"

Abel nodded nonchalantly.

Motion to others: "Go on."

After the first three people started, the two presidents of Victoria's Secret also plucked up the courage and finished their opinions.Then came the thoughtful Rana Pichai.

The views of these three are almost the same as those of the previous three. They all analyze the unreliability of Tesla from various angles, as well as the personal plight of Tesla and Elon Musk.From 05 years to the present of 2018.Elon Musk and Tesla, who have been fascinating for more than ten years, are finally about to encounter the biggest Waterloo in history.

But this is not to say that Elon Musk and Tesla are not good enough.On the contrary, whether it is Elon Musk or Tesla.Tesla, the company's marketing methods, and Elon Musk's methods for creating his own personalities, can be said to be the best among the few examples that the entire business community cannot single out. They are very good.

Tesla and Elon Musk, the creator of Tesla, failed.Purely in the absence of a technological explosion, pure electric vehicles are an industry without a future.Before the revolutionary technological progress of batteries, pure electric environmentally friendly vehicles were a false proposition.

In the lifetime of an electric car, when it travels 600,000 kilometers, the pollution caused by the battery it uses can be several times more serious than the exhaust gas and pollutants emitted by a gasoline car traveling 600,000 kilometers.

Exhaust pollutants can be purified through forests, but the processing cost of lithium batteries is too high!

This is not the failure of Tesla alone, nor is it the failure of Elon Musk alone.

This is an industry failure.

After the first few people expressed their opinions, now only David Adams and Elizabeth Holmes have not spoken.

David Adams waved his hand bluntly: "I'm not in his position, I don't seek politics. I am not familiar with finance and electric vehicles, and I have nothing to say about Tesla."

Abel nodded again.

He looked at Elizabeth Holmes in the video, even if she was actually next door to where she was now.

"Elizabeth...what do you want to say?" Abel asked her.

"buy!"

Elizabeth Holmes said concisely.

This surprised Abel very much.

When no one is optimistic about Tesla, more than 80% of outside investors are unwilling to continue investing in Tesla.Why did Elizabeth turn it around and say to buy?

I saw her say: "I think when I started my business. My company didn't even have a real product, and its valuation reached 9 billion U.S. dollars... Now Tesla's products are actually running on the street, although There are all kinds of flaws. But at least it is not a Ponzi scheme. After all, most Tesla owners are still very satisfied with their electric cars. Mr. Cary Garnett, how do you treat you? Are you satisfied with your electric car?"

Cary Garnett didn't expect Elizabeth Holmes to name herself.

He was stunned, hesitantly nodded and said: "Very satisfied. Quiet, accelerating very fast. You don't need to refuel, just plug it in when you get home from work every day! I think if you exclude battery life considerations, electric cars are definitely The best car in the world."

"Huh huh! Thank you for your experience, Mr. Garnett." Elizabeth finished speaking to Cary Garnett and looked at Abel with a smile, "Look. Tesla's product strength is definitely there. Now special What is missing? What is missing is cost reduction and production...In other respects, Tesla really does not lack!"

"On the contrary! After 2010, I feel that now is the best opportunity to acquire Tesla! The entire electric car industry has encountered a frost period, and perhaps this industry will not recover. But maybe this is just the low point of this industry, as long as you get through the low point In the future, Tesla has a little chance in the future because of a brilliant company like Apple."

"So..." Abel looked at Elizabeth, "Your opinion is to buy? Right?!"

"Yes." Elizabeth said.

"Okay. That's the end of the meeting. Let's do your own business!" Abel ended the video conference simply, "Elizabeth, come to my office in 10 minutes!"

Then he turned off the computer.

Watching the smoke of fate floating in the air with his eyes open, this is the reason why Abel would end this video conference so quickly.

The smoke of fate jumped out again.

When everyone was discussing whether Tesla was worth the investment, it suddenly came out.
