Chapter 1730 (1/2)

While Li Mu was on the plane waiting to take off, Elon Musk was fighting with Bill Ford Jr.

Bill Ford, Jr. is especially troubled now. He doesn't want to agree to Li Mu's five billion dollar offer, and he doesn't want Elon Musk to leave.

At last, Elon Musk was a little annoyed by him. He threw a sentence to Little Bill Ford: ”if Mr. Ford refuses now, I'll go back to Silicon Valley immediately. If you don't refuse now and don't agree, I'll sit here and wait. When Mr. Ford decides to accept Mr. Li's offer, and we'll talk about it later.”

Then he added, ”if it doesn't matter today, I can wait in the hotel.”

Little Bill Ford was a little angry. What he couldn't accept most was Li Mu's determination of his performance. However, he really didn't have the courage to refuse his offer.

After a long struggle, until little Bill Ford himself was completely bored, he got up from his seat and took off: ”OK! Five billion dollars, I want to pay in one lump sum! ”

Elon Musk nodded and said, ”then I'll ask the boss about his attitude.”

”Good, I'll wait for your news,” said Little Bill Ford

With that, he took out a cigar and lit it slowly.

Now he, all over the body can not say easily.

If you can't resist, just enjoy it.

Now, a huge stone fell to the ground in his heart. Although the meat hurt very much, it was also worth it in his eyes.

Li Mu's words inspired him a lot. He felt that Ford should think about how to make the brand bigger and stronger.

Why do Santana and Jetta sell best in China without airbags? Why does no one buy Land Rover, Jaguar or Volvo in China? Think about it carefully. It's just that you don't have a clear positioning.

What if Ford will launch a real civilian car in China in the future? Is it possible to replace Santana in China?

When Li Mu's $5 billion has arrived, he will put it all into Ford's own brand. As long as the Ford brand is bigger and stronger, the Ford family will be able to survive for a long time. From now on, it will not be like the so-called multi brand strategy.

Li Mu was waiting for takeoff when he received a phone call from Elon Musk. In the phone call, Elon Musk's voice trembled and said, ”President Li, Ford agreed, five billion dollars!”

Elon Musk was very excited at this time, but he had to control his emotions.

According to Elon Musk, five billion dollars for these three brands is really a big profit.

And, most importantly, Tesla finally has a platform on which to build.

Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, their platform and chassis technology will be used by themselves in the future, which will greatly facilitate Tesla's own research and development and mass production.

This also made Elon Musk worship Li Mu more.

The boss, he's so amazing. Even Ford was stabbed by his scalp. This operation is too bad.

Li Mu was relieved at this time.

Whether five billion dollars can be achieved or not, he is not absolutely sure. Now little Bill Ford finally nods, which proves that his alarmism has a good effect.

Excited, Li Mu said to Elon Musk, ”for the rest, you have a good talk with little Bill Ford. I want to finish the acquisition as soon as possible, and ask him to call up the leaders of three brands and four production lines as soon as possible. First, you meet them for a meeting to stabilize the team.”

“OK。” ”To President Li, Little Bill Ford has a claim that the five billion dollars must be paid in one lump sum,” Elon Musk said

Li Mu can't help thinking.

5 billion US dollars is not a small amount. Although there is a lot of money in Muye technology's account, and the cash flow is very healthy, it is very difficult to put out 5 billion US dollars at one go.

Google IPO, on its own, can reduce a part of the original shares as the issued shares, but that's about 3%. According to the market value of 50 billion, it's only 1.5 billion US dollars. If we take the initiative to reduce the shares after listing, isn't it a fool? After all, Google's future prospects are limitless.

After thinking about it, Li Mu decided to make a wave of equity pledge first, pledging a part of Muye technology's shares to the capital side, and then lending a sum of money from the capital side.
