Li Mu expected that the private equity investment would be very popular this time, but he did not expect that it would be so popular.

Chen Ze has been paying attention to the subscription situation in the member’s backend. In two hours, the subscription has exceeded the upper limit of 5 billion.

Learning the logic of Li Mu doing data analysis, Chen Ze also began to conduct a rough analysis of the subscription data for the two hours.

First of all, a total of 5 billion subscriptions were successfully subscribed by 133 members, with an average subscription amount of 37.6 million;

Secondly, the official members of the CSC Club in various parts of the mainland and even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are currently 1,089. The number of members logged in during the same period is 897. Among them, 874 of them logged in after sending text messages. That is to say, at least 874 people saw the specific situation of this private equity fund;

So, from the temporary data, it is certain that the conversion rate of the fund in members is about 15%. However, due to the limit on subscription, the remaining 85% are not interested, or want to buy but are too late, and you still need to wait for subsequent data feedback.

The subsequent data is the statistics of the subscription behavior of other users

The background shows that the number of people sending application applications is still increasing. Although they will pop up after clicking on the application, telling them that the 5 billion yuan of this period has been sold out, their application data will still be recorded in the background.

Within half an hour after the subscription ended, 532 people submitted their respective subscription applications normally because they did not know that the subscription was over. The total subscription amount of these 532 people was RMB 21.8 billion! The per capita subscription amount was 40.98 million;

However, the member subscription craze has not ended yet.

One hour later, another 155 people applied, with a total subscription amount of RMB 9.3 billion, and the per capita subscription amount exceeded 60 million!

The further you go, the higher the per capita subscription amount. Chen Ze didn't understand why this was. After communicating with Li Mu, Li Mu quickly guessed the key and said to him: "The time when everyone receives the message is the same. The more time goes by, the more likely people are to use more time to confirm the source of funds, so the more funds they can confirm."

Chen Ze thought for a while and said, "It makes sense."

Li Mu said: "What you can take out immediately is what you have. If you give you an hour, you may be able to clear the relationship between all parties and bring out more."

Chen Ze said: "So since that's the case, why are you going to do it in batches? Just open the subscription of 22 billion yuan in one go. In that case, we'll probably be done now."

Li Mu smiled and said, "The rush to buy is to engage in hunger marketing. The more they play like this, the more they cherish the opportunities we give them. Not only this opportunity, but also the opportunities in the future. This time we raise 20 billion yuan in China, and next time we may raise more overseas. To make them feel hungry about our similar products, we will take the initiative in the future. If you have time, you can chat with Lei Jun on Taobao, and he may give you a more detailed explanation."

Chen Ze said: "I understand the meaning."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Since everyone is so enthusiastic, we will temporarily adjust our strategy. In the next few subscription periods, the subscriber must first pay a 10% deposit after subscribing, and then pay all the funds within ten days. If there is a shortage of funds after ten days, the liquidated damages will be deducted at 5% of the shortage amount; if the actual payment amount is less than 50% of the subscription amount, he will permanently cancel his qualification to participate in any form of capital operation of the CSC club in the future."

Li Mu does not trust the subscription intention very much. All the money-related matters are not reliable. Only money is reliable. Even if your parents promise to give you living expenses today, they may be postponed until tomorrow because of something, let alone the flow of large amounts of funds.

What's more, these are all a group of people who borrow chickens and lay eggs, who like to use other people's money to make money for themselves, so the funds behind their subscription intentions are likely to come from promises that are not under his control.

For example, Zhang San applied for 100 million today and was confident that he could find a low-interest funding source and then take this opportunity to make millions in vain. However, when the time comes, his funding source may have various problems. Any problem may lead to him not being able to make so much money at that time. At that time, if there are more people temporarily put pigeons on, his major events will be affected.

So, Li Mu discussed with Chen Ze again and simply added a reserved subscription pool and allocated it to the subscription amount at a ratio of 1:1. For example, the subscription amount of 5 billion yuan has been fully subscribed this time, and another 5 billion yuan subscription can be absorbed to become a reserved substitute. If someone in the front-end subscription group cannot subscribe, the person in the reserved substitute will be replaced in the order, and so on;

Chen Ze agrees very much with this series of detailed plans. After all, their first goal is to raise US$2.5 billion of RMB equivalent. As for who paid the money, it doesn't matter, so it must be centered on ensuring the realization of the first goal.

Li Mu entrusted Chen Zelai to full responsibility for private equity funds and subsequent fundraising. He no longer paid attention to how this matter was promoted. He just wanted to wait for Chen Ze to tell himself one day in the near future that the money had been all received.

...

Until he agreed to the acquisition intention with Apple, Li Mu did not meet directly with Apple's people.

Tim Cook really wanted to meet Li Mu, but the highest representative sent by Muye Technology in the acquisition of Apple is Lin Qingya. He and Apple executives both felt that Li Mu himself did not attach importance to Apple, let alone the acquisition of Apple, so he was unwilling to participate in this matter in person.

This gave Apple executives a great sense of frustration.

The company is ready to sell, and the buyer's boss is too lazy to meet with the company's senior management to chat.

In fact, Li Mu himself really wants to meet Tim Cook to see how experienced this person is in the market. If possible, it would be a great thing to digest him into one of his generals in advance.

However, in order not to have an impact on the acquisition, Li Mu still insisted on the principle of not meeting, which made all Apple executives continue to misunderstand and think that he was not so interested in Apple.

This move is not to show off, but not to have any changes before the actual acquisition is implemented. The more cold the attitude, the more it will make Apple unconfidence and make them worry that they may give up the acquisition at any time. In this way, they are eager to stop loss and cash out, they must cooperate with the accelerated acquisition as soon as possible. On the contrary, if they are chasing Apple, it will make Apple feel that it is rare and they may even have to make some monsters with them.

Li Mu even decided to set off to Harvard early tomorrow morning to meet Mark Zuckerberg, and then take Su Yingxue to Silicon Valley, and wait for when Apple will sign the contract and when will it meet Apple's people again.

At the critical moment of acquiring Apple, Li Mu suddenly left, which puts great pressure on Lin Qingya. Although she is already the vice president of Muye Technology, it is the first time for her to acquire a market value of US$3 billion.

Not only her, Li Mu has never played such a big game.

Fortunately, Li Mu has already set most of the key nodes. As long as Lin Qingya moves forward according to Li Mu's requirements and rhythm, there will basically be no major deviations.

Before leaving, Elon Musk suddenly called Li Mu and said he wanted to ask Li Mu if he had time recently. He wanted to report to Li Mu carefully about the geek project that he had inspected before using 18650 battery packs to develop new energy vehicles.

Li Mu said to him directly: "This is how you pack up, and go to Cambridge with me tomorrow. We can chat slowly on the plane."

Elon Musk was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll arrange my job and I'll go with you tomorrow."

Li Mu said: "I will let Ziwei tell you the takeoff time later."

...

On the way to Massachusetts, Elon Musk sat opposite Li Mu, put a lot of materials on the small conference table, and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, I did a due diligence on the research project of electric vehicles. Overall, I am very optimistic about their project and think I can do it seriously."

Li Mu asked him: "Where did you really like it?"

"It's mainly about thinking patterns, and technical feasibility," Elon Musk said.

As she said that, Elon Musk introduced: "Electric drive has many advantages. Environmental protection is one aspect, and cheapness is one aspect. More importantly, electric-driven cars are easy to make breakthroughs in performance. If you use lead-acid batteries, the energy density is small and the battery weight is large, there will be a great loss in battery life, power and battery life. This team took a different approach. They used 18650 lithium batteries to make a battery pack with high energy density, light weight and at least three to five times higher than lead-acid batteries. Therefore, under this technical condition, the battery life, weight, power and battery attenuation of electric vehicles will be greatly improved."

Li Mu asked him: "How far does it take to build a car with this technology? Fully powered by electric power?"

"They are now doing experiments on frame cars, and if the battery pack is denser, the range of 300 miles will not be a problem," Elon Musk said.

"Where is charging?" Li Mu asked: "How long does it take for such a car to be fully charged?"

"If the charging device is fully charged for six to eight hours, a car like this will be very suitable for middle-class use and the endurance is enough to meet his daytime driving needs," Elon Musk said.

Li Mu nodded. It seems that Tesla's own battery technology has a certain foundation now. In this case, if sufficient investment is given, the project will have the ability to start quickly.

However, Tesla's biggest problem in the previous life was the capacity limitation, so Li Mu asked Elon Musk: "If we invest in this team, how can we solve the production link?"

Elon Musk immediately said: "We are going to build a new production line."

Li Mu waved his hand: "The team you are talking about is at best a theorist in the automotive industry. They have already made the stall very large, so how can they build their own production line?"

Elon Musk said: "That's the case, Mr. Li. If we invest in this project, we must first complete the R&D work you just mentioned, and then build a prototype car. My idea is that after building a prototype car, we can pre-sale it in Silicon Valley first, so that we can absorb a batch of orders and funds first, and then we will start to build a medium- and large production line to accelerate our production work."

Li Mu said helplessly: "Elon, what era is this? Who else has to do to the end of starting a business? If you want to open a Western restaurant, you don't need to raise cattle by yourself. You can cooperate with the cattle farm, or simply acquire a cattle farm. The best solution is."

As he said that, Li Mu said: "If this electric solution is feasible, then I will directly acquire an automobile manufacturing company in Huaxia. At that time, our automobile company will be divided into two parts. One is the R&D team you are in contact with now, who will be fully responsible for the research and development of electric-related technologies in the future; the other is the automobile manufacturing company I mentioned, that is, the future manufacturing team, which will be responsible for the development and production of automobile hardware. If possible, we will acquire a battery research and development and production company."

Elon Musk said: "Mr. Li, if this is the starting cost, the risk is too high..."

Li Mu asked him: "How many years do you think the company will take to start with the method you mentioned before it can really start? Will it deliver the first car in five years? Will it deliver a million cars in eight years?"

"This..." Elon Musk was speechless for a moment.

Li Mu said: "Do you know that there is a car company in China called Geely?"

"have no idea……"

"Then you can understand that the founders of this company decided to build cars with the mentality of "cars are four wheels and two sofas". They decided to build cars in 1997, and the first car was offline in 1998. You have to have such courage to do this. If you want to slowly raise it in seven or eight years, then I think you don't have to do it, because even if you finally raise it, you will be full of holes and various problems. Today may be insufficient production capacity, tomorrow may be insufficient cash flow, and the day after tomorrow may start to lose millions a day. As a company that makes products and sells products, the less capacity you have, the less your cash flow will be, and the greater your losses will be!"

Elon Musk invested in Tesla only a few million dollars in the first round. A few million dollars in investments were going to build a car. It was like a joke to say it. This shows how slow Tesla started at that time, almost using a lighter to stew Buddha over the wall.

Li Mu thought that if he wanted to invest in the Tesla project today, he would win over Tesla's founding team today, and tomorrow he would have to lock in an automobile manufacturing company and increase capital investment, which would be equivalent to stewing two high-power stoves together with Buddha jumping over the wall, and the speed would naturally increase by a factor of several times.

By then, once the resources on both sides are integrated, Tesla's sedan will soon be driven from the production line like dumplings. The order production cannot keep up? The delivery deadline is delayed again and again? It does not exist! Maybe two or three years later, Tesla will become a street car.
Chapter completed!
