In Andy's previous life, many people thought Elon Musk was more like a dreamer than an entrepreneur. From an enterprise perspective, the profitability of Musk's three companies, electric vehicle, aerospace and solar energy, is too poor.

But at least electric cars have come on the market, and solar companies have taken the government's purchase orders. Only this rocket company has become the biggest loser.

In Silicon Valley, musk is a very controversial person. Most people in the IT industry don't like him. He is a tyrant, a hot tempered person, and also a very difficult and difficult person to deal with. Imagine that when he is married for his honeymoon, he can make his employees Zheng change, impeach him jointly, and prevent him from becoming CEO, which is enough to show that this product is not good To be seen.

Andy knows that this guy's rocket launch was successful, and he cheated a lot of money from the U.S. government. Tesla electric car also successfully went public for financing. This can be invested, as well as solar energy projects.

Although Elon Musk is a very powerful marketing expert, he is also a big talker. Many of his words can only be heard as stories, not as true.

What Andy remembers most is that he wants to put more than 4000 satellites into the global WiFi so that people around the world can access the Internet at high speed. Well, that's better than the WiFi of pockmarked drone.

He will also use his rocket to send passengers from New York to Mordor at a speed of 27000 km / h. It will only take 39 minutes...

He's going to build a vacuum pipeline, a high-speed capsule train, which will cut the travel time from San Francisco to Los Angeles to 35 minutes. Listening to him, America, which doesn't have a single high-speed rail, has entered the era of science fiction.

I don't know how the Rockefeller family who controls energy, civil aviation, Morgan family who controls railway, Citigroup, Mellon family who controls tire industry, DuPont group who controls general motors will feel, and whether they will let him lay this vacuum pipeline in the United States...

Not to mention the Martian immigrants, tut, maybe he really wants to build a rocket to launch his coffin to Mars.

His pictures are more and more moving, but most of them are in the mirror. What's strange is that some of his stories have become the soul soup of the public, and many people still drink delicious.

"Al, I heard that musk is going to be poor. Some media said that his account is only a few hundred thousand dollars..."

Andy glanced over the documents of electric cars and solar energy, threw them on his desk, picked up the coffee that the assistant made for him again, squinted his eyes, and said with a smile on his lips.

"It should be almost the same. His only $100 million is in the rocket company, which can support him to launch two rockets, plus the recent divorce... He is now a poor man. "

"Ha ha, I think many people in Silicon Valley will open champagne to celebrate. This guy, like Larry Ellison, is so annoying. Last time I attended Jobs's reception, I saw jobs with my own eyes. After Larry Page introduced mask, I nodded my head and turned straight away. I didn't even have the interest to shake hands with him. Mask was embarrassed to death Ha ha

Alvertriel looked at the young boss with a kind of bad smile, but also shook his head and laughed. Musk is now facing a big problem. Tesla and SpaceX are on the verge of bankruptcy. He faced a dilemma, either saving SpaceX or Tesla alone, or distributing funds equally. Even sharing money is not the ideal solution, because financial difficulties are likely to lead to the bankruptcy of both companies. He is now borrowing money from all his friends and relatives, and he has started to lay off a large number of employees.

In addition, Martin Eberhard, one of the founders of Tesla, who started his own business together with mask, was also staged a stage where the founder left. Mask, who completely got Tesla, now faces the choice of rocket or car.

"Come on, Al, I don't think you will put these projects in front of me at will."

Andy knows that as his chief think tank, alvette will never randomly choose to lose money projects for him to invest.

"Boss, do you know how much you are worth now?" Asked Al, looking at Andy gravely.

"Capital or all industries?" Andy curled his mouth and joked happily.

"The newly acquired shares of Bloomberg 3.3 billion US dollars, Facebook shares, AMC cable TV station, Marvel Entertainment Group, sports investment company, Mockingbird game company, wasp app and musika cloud computing are worth 5 billion US dollars, 2.5 billion US dollars, 2.2 billion US dollars, 3 billion US dollars, 2 billion US dollars, respectively... Free city app store... Copyright company...

The total asset value of these companies has exceeded 21 billion US dollars. If you add the funds you hold now, your asset value has reached 36 billion US dollars. In May this year's Forbes rich list, you are likely to enter the top ten. God, boss, have you ever thought about it? There is no one in the top ten billionaires of the 24-year-old rich list and all the high-quality enterprises A public companyAndy naturally knows how many assets he has, but in his opinion, it's just the total value of assets. The company's valuation is gross and it's not listed. You should know that he still owes a lot of debt to the bank, and all companies are private assets. Even if Forbes collects the comparable company's valuation, it will reduce by 5%, and the credibility will be marked as one star.

What's more, most of his companies are in debt. Marvel Entertainment, with a market value of 2.5 billion yuan, was acquired by high leverage. It only spent 500 million dollars of its own, and the rest is all the money of Bank of America. Marvel needs to desperately help him earn money and return it to Bank of America, which is not a secret.

The total asset value of more than 36 billion seems very frightening. In fact, it's good for him to have 20 billion. After all, the bank's money needs to be paid back. Fortunately, most of his companies have very high profit level. Of course, several IT companies are bottomless, not only don't make money, but also need him to fill in the hole. If listed, his personal assets will be It's going to rocket up.

However, listing is really a problem. All these profitable companies are private enterprises, which will make the American people question. Maybe once Forbes publishes the ranking, some media and people will jump out and ask Andy to list a certain enterprise. Of course, more interest groups will stir up the flames and ask Andy to share.

However, most of Andy's companies now belong to his own private property. Even if there are several companies with other shareholders, there will never be more than three, let alone 500 shareholders who need to disclose financial information to the public. (that is to say, the CSRC forces them to go public)

Microsoft and Google are forced to put on the IPO path because they distribute a large number of shares to their employees in order to retain talents and the number of shareholders exceeds 500.

To be honest, Andy's IT companies are going to issue shares to their management and employees in the end. Only in this way can they retain talents. As long as Andy dare to cut corners, his talents will be immediately poached by other enterprises, and this share, IPO is not far away.

But now, no matter it's wampu app or musika cloud computing, APP mall and other companies still need to grow. Andy can't push them out naturally. Even if he wants to IPO, Andy, a greedy guy, needs to carry out three rounds of financing first, squeeze clean oil and water, raise the valuation, and then choose to go public.

"You want me to choose one, then burn money to make products, and push it out as a shield?" Andy asked, frowning, reaching for three folders.

"That's right. The IT companies you created are still in the growth period. As for the rapid development of the app, instagram can be in the ranks of burning money. Instagram (photo wall) may come from behind to burn money on a large scale to crack down on twitter, seize the market, and need to prepare for financing in advance.

Among these three projects, the Tesla electric car is my favorite. It doesn't need much money to pack and get it. Then I will spend money to speed up R & D. the boss will personally market it with your personal influence. When we make a car, we will make a lot of publicity, put it into production and sell it. Then we will launch an IPO immediately. In this way, the boss can let other companies slowly Development, will not leave the impression of eating alone, thus being targeted in isolation, we can not repeat the mistakes of AOL. "

Andy pondered over this, but he didn't deny it. He would have listed several IT companies for financing. After all, this is the quickest way to circle money, and the best way to quickly occupy the market and eliminate all competitors with a lot of dollars. However, game companies, copyright companies and sports investment companies won't throw a little shares out.

After chatting with alvertriel for a while, when Andy was the only one left in the office, he went to the floor to window, overlooking the whole Manhattan landscape, feeling indescribable. Whether he owed more than $10 billion to the bank or not, his total assets finally reached this height, 36 billion!

"Maybe in this financial storm, I can really Tun it! “
