America's Road to Fame

Chapter 462 Super Factory
Of course, quality comes at a price, that is, HEYTEA drinks, the price of which is much higher than that of many street milk tea shops, but one is that it will continue to launch new products, and the other is drinks made with real materials , It is easy to drink from the taste.

Now HEYTEA's directly-operated stores have also begun to enter second-tier cities, but they are not in a hurry to expand too quickly.

According to the plan of HEYTEA CEO Fu Xinjing, HEYTEA Company can be said to have expanded rapidly in the early stage. It opened in first-tier and new first-tier cities in less than two years. Now that they have completed financing and have funds, they need to stabilize first. Use these funds to practice internal strength, consolidate the supply chain of raw materials, and do a good job in the quality control and various monitoring systems of each branch.

Withdrawing the fist is for a more powerful punch next time.

After completing these, HEYTEA will have a more solid foundation.

After getting along for a long time, Yang Mi was very new to Fu Xinjing's ability and recognized her ideas. Therefore, after Xicha completed financing at the end of last year, it took half a year to make these improvements.

Of course, it does not mean that HEYTEA has not developed branches at all in the past six months, but compared with the previous speed, it has slowed down.

In addition to entering second-tier cities for layout, HEYTEA has also started overseas development, and has opened overseas flagship stores in New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta.

在去年的11月，喜茶公司以250亿华币的估值，进行了A轮融资，在融资前的股权结构，是杨宓持无36%的股份；华夏未来资本持无27.9%；刘师师持无12.15%；唐妍持无7.65%；管理层股权激励池持无6.3%；云峰基金、亿达投资以及IDG资本等参与A轮融资的机构持无10%的股份。

What Yang Mi is now struggling with is whether HEYTEA will withdraw another round of financing in the first half of this year, or directly withdraw from the IPO, so he also took this opportunity to ask Tesla for his opinion.

In fact, the profit of Hey Tea Company is very weak, and it can be regarded as short of money. At present, the number of branches of the whole Hey Tea Company has exceeded 600, and the average daily sales volume of a single store exceeds 1200 cups of milk tea. The company's monthly sales volume is around 4.5 million Chinese dollars, which means that HEYTEA's net profit exceeds 1 million Chinese dollars per month, and its cash flow is extremely abundant.

However, with the success of HEYTEA, there are also many competitors in the domestic milk tea beverage market. Among them, there are not many competitors from high-end to low-end. Therefore, before practicing "internal strength", Heytea also needs to slow down its expansion to accumulate market space for these followers.

In addition to raising funds from the stock market, the IPO can also greatly enhance the popularity and corporate image of Heytea. After all, whether it is a listed company or not is completely different in the eyes of special people.

Therefore, according to Tesla's opinion, in the first half of the year, we will continue to conduct another B round of financing. At that time, we can introduce fewer institutions to increase the resources of Heytea, and then use those funds to conduct another round of expansion, and then The current IPO will be withdrawn at the beginning of next year. As for whether it is A shares or Hong Kong shares, this needs to be considered at that time.

Now Tesla is single, so Yang Mi and I are together, although they will appear in public on purpose to let reporters write scribbles, but they still use as little taboo as later.

And often the more small and square it is to do it, the more difficult it is to explain when it is exposed. As long as it is a public show of affection, such as special getting along, there is no problem.

Just like in those few days, Mou Fu was always by my side when I was in contact with the Shanghai government.

If Yang Mi is still a star, it must be very appropriate for Mou Furong to take you on such and such occasions, and it will always give people a heavy feeling.

But your identity is the same now, but the HEYTEA company you founded makes you an entrepreneur, and the many companies you have invested in Weipower Investment also make you an investor. unfamiliar.

Moreover, whether it is Heytea Company, HTG Club, Mihayou or even Bilibili invested by Weimi Investment, they are all companies headquartered in Shanghai. Therefore, when Tesla retreats from business negotiations with the other party, Yang Mi Accompanied by the side, some people feel weird.

What I discussed with Modu has nothing to do with Mou Furong's company, because Mou Furong's current output is different, so there is no plan to invest in another super factory for electric vehicles. The future alternative location is Huaguo. Magic is one of them, and the other is far away from Germany in Europe.

Now the main production base of Mou Furong's electric vehicles is located in Mou Furong, California. After it became the Fremont factory, it was affiliated to General Motors from 1962 to 1982.

From 1984 to 2009, that plant was part of the New United Motor Manufacturing Corporation (NUMMI), which was founded by Toyota Motor Corporation.Came to Freemont to buy the factory and make minor upgrades.

Just the next month, the first production Fremont Model S rolled out of that factory.It’s just that the output of the Moufonte factory is still very easy now, so Musk plans to expand the scale of the Chenwilliamt factory to twice the current size, and choose a suitable place to build a new Fremont super factory for The supply of the sea market.

At that time, the Fremont super factory was the same as the former Chen Williamt factory in the United States. It was only a factory for the production of complete vehicles. It is expected that the new factory will simultaneously develop battery production and automobile manufacturing, with a total investment of more than 75 billion. The U.S. dollar, equivalent to Chinese currency, is less than 500 billion, so the Modu side attaches great importance to that news.

Once the Fremont super factory is settled in Shanghai, it will become the smallest investment of a Chinese car company in China.

But that’s the case. Compared with the investment of more than 500 billion Chinese dollars in the super factory, what the Shanghai government values ​​more is the entire downstream and upstream industrial chain of the new energy automobile industry that can be driven by the super factory project of Freemont Company. Let Shanghai become Huaguo's new energy vehicle R&D and manufacturing center.

So for that project, we have been actively fighting for it since the end.

Tesla, as the smallest shareholder of Fremont Company, also represented Fremont Company at that time, and had preliminary communication with Modu. After all, up to now, Mou Furong Company has only selected few places for the new factory. As for the final decision, it still depends on the progress and results of the negotiations.

Moreover, the matter itself can be determined in a short while. Before the initial contact with the Devil City, both parties will naturally have their own considerations and requirements. Next, the Devil City will need to fight for policies from Huaguo.

It is estimated that going back and forth, the whole negotiation and negotiation, if there is no final result, one year is considered slow, and it is even impossible to talk for two or eight years.
