After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 586 Those who are favored are confident
"What do you have that Tesla doesn't?"

Wilson smiled and his frown gradually relaxed. He vaguely guessed Lu Liang's intention.

Unable to conceal his pride, Lu Liang took the initiative to suggest that he would be close to becoming one of them.

Lu Liang pointed at the tip of his nose and chuckled, "Isn't it enough to have me?"

Musk has always wanted to help humans migrate to Mars, and it must be said that this pie is drawn very professionally.

Because business promises require a lot of skill, it is best if there is a possibility of completion, but it is very difficult to accomplish. Once completed, the rewards will be unimaginably rich.

Migrating to Mars is the ultimate dream that a technology-based company can achieve, and he is now moving step by step in this direction.

The only thing Lu Liang could offer was himself, and it was enough to use himself as a bargaining chip.

Panda, NIO, and Didi are all strong testimonies, and without exception, they have all been huge successes.

Tianxing Automobile is his business that he is proud of and is also the main enterprise that he has devoted all his efforts to.

He can confidently say that as long as Tianxing Automobile goes public in the United States, its market value will definitely surpass Tesla.

"Kamen, maybe you think I'm bragging, but a year ago, I launched a public offering of 3000 billion..."

Lu Liang was halfway through his words when Wilson smiled and waved his hand to interrupt: "No, I believe you have the ability. Let's talk about how to cooperate."

"Tianxing Automobile is valued at US$162 billion," said Lu Liang.

They just raised $90 billion at the end of last year, but times have changed and they should be trading at an 80% premium now.

"It's too high, but we can negotiate." Wilson thought for a long time, looked at Lu Liang, and motioned him to continue.

"As long as JPMorgan Chase joins, we will plan to go public within three years." A smile flashed in Lu Liang's eyes.

All asset managers have one idea, which is to avoid losses. Only on the basis of avoiding losses can they make small profits or big profits.

But how can you avoid losses? You can only bet on both ends, and there is a professional financial term called risk hedging.

Assuming that Lu Liang is a very professional financial person, in addition to shorting Tesla, he will also choose to go long.

Assuming that the available funds are 100 million, and if you short Tesla by 60, you will take out 30 to go long and reserve 10 in reserve.

This ratio is not fixed, but is determined by market sentiment and market conditions, and is always ready to change.

"We want a supervisory seat." Wilson thought about it and was unwilling to be just an ordinary shareholder.

He is the non-executive director represented by JPMorgan Chase & Co. of Tesla. If Lu Liang wants to treat them equally, he must give them the same treatment.

Lu Liang frowned and pretended to hesitate: "Kamen, do you know? Tianxing Automobile has not yet established a board of directors."

Without waiting for Wilson to respond, he paused and said, "But in order to get you to join, I am willing to make an exception."

Wilson's raised mouth corners were harder to suppress than AK's. He took a deep breath to calm himself down: "What if it can't be launched in three years?"

"Maybe?" Lu Liang asked back.

Listing other companies may be an ultimate goal, but for him, it is a piece of cake.

Wilson pressed on: "The probability is small, but it's not impossible. Are you going to make us wait for you for three years in vain?"

He was recently reading the Eastern novel "Journey to the West" and happened to see the monk Tang tricking Sun Wukong into wearing a hat.

Although the purpose of conditions is to restrict, most of the time they exist as a deterrent and to enforce obedience.

Just like the monkey, why after wearing the hat, he always wants to hit Tang Seng to death with a stick? It is obvious that as long as he obeys, he won’t recite the scriptures.

Because it was an insult, but he finally accepted it, at that moment, just like now.

He also hoped that Lu Liang would accept it.

"Three years, 5% annual interest." Lu Liang said coldly.

"Normal is not 8%." Wilson asked with a smile.

Without waiting for Lu Liang to respond, he quickly smiled and said, "Then 5% will do."

He knew that Lu Liang had understood his intention and he had accepted it.

Just accept it. Don't put too much pressure on him at once, otherwise it will be easy to break up.

Just like lure fishing, when you catch a big fish, you have to tighten and loosen the rope, and the tug-of-war can take an hour or two.

If even fish are like this, what about humans?

Wilson and his team members stayed in Shanghai for two days.

On the first day, Tianxing Private Equity paid $620 per share for the 1200 million shares of Tesla it held, for a total of $74.4 billion.

The next day, he spent US$162 billion to acquire a 32.4% stake in Tianxing Automobile at a valuation of US$20 billion, becoming the second largest shareholder after Lu Liang and the first non-executive director.

After this round of financing, Lu Liang's stake in Tianxing Automobile has dropped to 46.08%, and JPMorgan Chase holds 20% of the shares, ranking second, followed by Didi, Jinshajiang, Sequoia, Gaozhen, JD.com, etc. Once the news was announced, the industry was in an uproar.

Tianxing Automobile raised funds at a valuation of US$162 billion, indicating that Lu Liang's personal wealth has skyrocketed again.

There are still eight months left in this year. I will definitely be among the top ten goalkeepers, but I don’t know to what level I can reach.

At the same time, there were rumors that Lu Liang cleared out all his Tesla shares, leaving no bottom line, not even a single share.

Unlike the previous reduction in public holdings, the reduction in holdings only represents a temporary adjustment of positions, and there may be an increase in holdings in the future.

But clearing out the inventory means that Lu Liang has no hope for Tesla's future.

There are many different opinions in the industry. Some people say that Lu Liang is a gambler because he bet on Tianxing Automobile alone. Others say that Lu Liang is deliberately suppressing Tesla and is not a qualified fund manager.

Some people also doubt the authenticity of this news.

Last month, before the announcement of the reduction, Tianxing Private Equity Fund held Tesla shares, accounting for 5.08% of the outstanding shares.

How is it possible to clear out all the stocks in such a short time? It must be someone with ulterior motives who released the negative news.

At 1000 p.m. in Beijing, U.S. stocks began pre-market trading, and Tesla's stock price plummeted, instantly breaking through the $ line.

Retail investors are still speculating whether the news is true or not, but large institutions have already received the news in advance. Tianxing liquidated its holdings and JPMorgan took over.

This is not good news because the chips are more concentrated, and JPMorgan should hold more than 20% of Tesla's outstanding shares.

The chips are highly concentrated in the hands of the main players, so they will have the final say on future rises and falls, and others will have no chance to play.

Wilson was caught off guard by the sudden spread of the news and couldn't help but look at Lu Liang.

Lu Liang shrugged and said with a smile: "A great and excellent company needs to have market competitiveness and the ability to withstand market pressure, rather than being blindly pushed to the altar. Kamon, I am helping you to select."

Wilson swallowed the words back and sighed, "Don't do it again. At least say hello to me first."

After Tesla increased its holdings, its shareholding in the outstanding shares reached 21.25%. After Tianxing acquired the shares, it held a 20% stake.

The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, and he and Lu Liang are in their honeymoon period, so it is difficult for him to say anything harsh.

"Got it." Lu Liang hummed, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

He has not made a decision yet and plans to wait for another three years to see the results of Lao Ma before making a choice.

Although a fence-sitter can easily offend both sides, he is no longer a weed and is an object that both sides need to win over.

Tianxing Automobile does not necessarily have to go public. The price it will pay is nothing more than US$32.4 billion plus US$4.86 million in interest.

32.4 billion US dollars, with an annual interest rate of 5%. Even if you use this money to buy US bonds, you won’t lose much money.

Not long after, JPMorgan Chase announced that it had increased its holdings of Tesla shares by 620 million shares.

As soon as the news came out, U.S. stocks fluctuated. This news also confirmed the rumors.

Lu Liang liquidated his Tesla holdings, and the buyer was JPMorgan Chase.

Tesla's pre-market trading saw a slight pullback, but it still failed to return to $1000.

After all, Lu Liang's strength is obvious to all. On the other hand, JPMorgan has always been Tesla's largest shareholder.

JPMorgan's decision to take over Lu Liang's shares was also analyzed by a number of media as a market rescue measure.

Once all 620 million shares flow into the secondary market, it will not be a catastrophe, but it will be a shocking event.

The three major rating agencies on Wall Street, Poor's, Moody's and Fitch, have all downgraded Tesla's rating from 3A strong buy to 1A recommended buy.

The news of Lu Liang clearing out his Tesla holdings continued to ferment, and Wilson could not stay in Shanghai for long.

Before leaving, he whispered to Lu Liang: "Go abroad less often in the second half of the year. If you have to go abroad, it's best to contact me in advance."

"The second half of the year?" Lu Liang frowned. The second half of the year starts from July, which is the time when the Americans impose additional tariffs.

What's the point of asking him to travel abroad less often? Is the Alstom incident in France going to happen again?

Wilson nodded in agreement: "I can't interfere, but I don't want you to be the first one to stand out."

"Thank you, take care."

Lu Liang took the initiative to hug Wilson for the first time, and it seemed to be of some use in maintaining the relationship.

At least let him know that the Alstom incident in France will happen in the country.

Let him avoid becoming the protagonist, but I don't know who will be the 'lucky one'.

"You too."

Wilson left, leaving behind a total of $106.8 billion in funds.
