Unparalleled True Technology

As the world's most well-known high-tech industry gathering area, Silicon Valley has major media stations all year round, because here, they can get the first-hand news in the shortest time.

Tesla has been mocked by countless people after being wholly-owned by Apple's founder, including Tesla's founder Elon Muskow. And when many people were not optimistic about Tesla, Tesla got a round of financing from Sequoia Capital.

If it is just an ordinary round of financing, it will not change anything, but if this financing has created the highest amount of round of financing in the investment industry history?

The value of unlisted companies has reached 21 billion U.S. dollars, not without. Take Facebook for example. Although Facebook is not yet on the market, its valuation has reached more than $ 40 billion.

But even so, Facebook's first round of financing was only $ 500,000, and that $ 500,000 also received 10% of Facebook's equity.

If someone said that it was an angel investment that Facebook received, not a round of financing, then Facebook's second financing also only received $ 12.7 million. Facebook's valuation at the time was only $ 270 million.

Compared to Tesla's $ 4.2 billion, the gap is unimaginable.

"Good afternoon, friends of various audiences, what you are watching now is the Tesla conference with live broadcast from abc TV news channel."

A reporter stands in front of the camera with Tesla's headquarters in the background.

"Strictly speaking, this is not the first press conference of Tesla, but in fact we can say that this is the first press conference of Tesla. Since Apple founder Wen Ming acquired it wholly After Tesla, this is Tesla's first official launch event. "

"During this process, whether it was Apple's founder Wen Ming's wholly-owned acquisition of Tesla, or Tesla's obtaining a round of financing from Sequoia Capital, Tesla officials only issued an announcement to the outside world and did not Hold a formal press conference. From this we can see how important this conference is for Tesla. "

"According to news, Tesla will launch their new generation of Tesla pure electric vehicles at this press conference today, and this car will be Tesla's restart of pure electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles. A powerful weapon to seize the market ... "

At the gate of Tesla's headquarters, there are many media reporters reporting live. Among them, apart from some online media, the highest number of viewers is undoubtedly the ABC TV station.

Speaking of which, ABC TV and Apple Corps are hostile.

Prior to the Abba Christmas War, it was because Wenming Apple held a press conference that day, and also released news that alive dinosaurs can attract everyone's attention, so that the ratings of abc TV on that day did not reach the desired level.

But this world is like this. When you can bring in ratings, the TV station will not care about any resentment between you and him. Of course, the premise is that the TV station cannot block you.

The opening time of the conference is getting closer and closer, and reporters outside the gate have begun to enter the conference site.

Wen Ming has already entered the conference site through other channels at this time. Although he likes to be in the limelight, he does not like to be chased by reporters.

He is in the limelight because he will definitely come up with some black technology in the future, so he needs to cultivate his own genius name. It is really no good to be pursued by reporters.

"Are you ready?"

As Tesla's largest shareholder except Wenming, Sequoia Capital naturally sent a heavyweight at this time, which is Moritz, the current helm of Sequoia Capital.

At this time, Moritz was smiling and greeting Wen Ming in the background.

He couldn't help laughing, because from today on, his life resume will add another classic investment case that many investors can worship.

Although it may not look like it is currently invested in Google, it is very likely to exceed the decision to invest in Yahoo.

"It should be said that we are well prepared."

Wen Ming also said with a smile on his face: "If it was not for us to start mass production of new models and to put the patent application into the approval process, this conference should have been held long ago."

After a few more words, Moritz left the backstage, and he needed to go to the conference site. Although not many people in the general audience can know him, those investors, media reporters, and industry people should know him.

His presence will allow those people to further increase Tesla's valuation.

When the press conference opened, Wenming went straight to the front desk. This time there were no hosts, because the content of the press conference was very simple.

"As we all know, my goal was to make $ 1 billion before I turned 30, and as a result ..."

This joke is well known to audiences across the United States and has even spread to other countries.

In a chuckle at the scene, Wenming said: "What I didn't expect is that Sequoia Capital would be willing to give me $ 4.2 billion just after I bought Tesla. What I have to pay is Give them 20% of Tesla. So why is Sequoia Capital willing to do so? "

In fact, this problem has troubled many people for a long time. Although there are many gossip or internal information on the Internet, when there is no official announcement, it cannot completely convince the public.

"I think it's because I reinvented the car."

Wen Ming's words made applause at the scene. Americans don't like modesty. They like to watch people brag. Of course, they also prefer to watch those celebrities blow up their bulls.

"No, it should be said, I reinvented the pure electric vehicle."

Wen Ming pressed the remote control in his hand, and the publicity film prepared before appeared on the huge projection screen behind him.

"With the development of science and technology, we humans are becoming more and more polluting of the environment, and some non-renewable resources have also made some of our technologies to be the obsolete products of the times. Yes, I am talking about fuel cars, because on earth "Oil resources are limited, and they are on the verge of being depleted."

"In this case, research and development of new energy vehicles has become a top priority."

The picture on the projector has become Tesla's first mass-produced pure electric car, a convertible version of the two-door sports car, and its outstanding appearance has made many people look at it.

"This is a pure electric sports car developed by Tesla before. However, no matter its acceleration of 100 kilometers, its extreme speed, and its cruising range, it cannot defeat the traditional fuel car in a real sense. . "

"After all, no one wants to drive a car that can only run 300 kilometers, and even more tragic is that when the power is exhausted, it will take more than ten hours to charge."

He slammed his company's products in this way, and Wenming didn't have any psychological pressure, because the development of his pure electric sports car had nothing to do with him. He is now hitting Elon Muskow's face. The purpose, naturally, was to revenge Elon Muskou before singing him badly.

It's normal to be careful.

Wenming said to the audience: "I said before that because the mobile phone before iphone did not meet my expectations of mobile phone ~ www.novelmtl.com ~, so there is an iphone in this world. And when I think that special When the pure electric sports car launched by Sila failed to meet my expectations of a pure electric sports car ... I bought Tesla. "

"Then, there is a Tesla model-s in this world. I think she is not only a pure electric sports car, but also a supermodel, a supermodel that can make all men dazzle."

At this moment, on the projection screen behind Wenming, there was a dynamic picture of Tesla's model-s, which was displayed in 360 degrees, allowing this car to reach a 4970mm four-door coupe. Countless amazing eyes.

The dynamic body lines, unique front face shape, and cool LED headlights have hardly been used in cars before. You know, this is not the era when future generations of domestic cars that sell for less than 100,000 can use LED headlights. This is still 2010. Even Audi, known as a light factory, did not use LED headlights.

Tesla model-s has already triggered a lot of people's purchases before it officially debuted.

(Ps: focus on explanation, there is no meaning of looking down on domestic cars, I just want to say that the price of LED headlights is still very high at this time.)
