Chapter 625 Tesla goes public?
With an investment of 100 billion yuan, there is a shortfall of [-] billion yuan!
Li Jianneng and the others couldn't help being stunned when they heard the words. The initial start-up capital alone is so much. This online car-hailing business is really expensive. If it is an ordinary enterprise, even if it knows that there is such an operation model , I'm afraid they will be scared off directly.

Of course, in the initial stage of Didi’s establishment, the funds spent gradually increased from a few million to tens of millions to over 100 million to billions. Zhou Fei’s 100 billion investment was directly skipped. A lot of the initial preparation stage directly entered the stage of publicity and operation, and the [-] billion was not spent all at once, but also used up in stages.

"What if the remaining 40 billion is filled in the form of bonds or loans?" Jiang Yang said first.

"No, there are too many debts, and the financial leverage is beyond the reasonable range, otherwise I wouldn't have said that I would discuss it with you." Zhou Fei shook his head directly.

"Since the 100 billion is not used up at one time, there is no need to collect so much money at once. The remaining 40 billion is short, and the companies will still be profitable next year. The money will come from next year's budget. Buckle up, can't you?" Ma Huafu on the side suggested.

"Didn't I just announce the budget plan for next year at my morning meeting? From which project do you think 40 billion can be used for the online car-hailing project?" Zhou Fei asked with a smile.

The funding gap was only discovered when preparing next year's budget, so at the meeting, Zhou Fei did not include the online car-hailing business in the official budget, but was going to find another way out of the budget.

"According to this, there seems to be only one way to solve the four billion yuan funding gap." Li Jianneng, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and said.

"Tell me." Zhou Fei smiled and motioned him to continue talking.

"That is to open up this project and seek financing from the outside world, just like most new projects, to give up part of the equity in the online car-hailing business." Li Jianneng continued.

All the current projects of Feichi Group are wholly owned by the group, and there has never been a situation where external funds have invested in shares. However, in fact, there are only a few cases like Feichi Group. Many projects have to rely on external funds for investment.

It is already a norm for major giants to cross-hold each other.

"Introducing external funds is the first time in our Feichi Group. Will it send a bad message to the outside world?" Zhang Xiang said worriedly.

The Feichi Group, which has been acting alone, opened up external financing at this time, which will inevitably arouse people's daydreams.

"I think this kind of worry is unnecessary. As far as our group's current industry is concerned, if any car manufacturer has a problem, it will not be our problem. In fact, apart from opening up external financing, there is another way to solve the funding gap. "Zhou Fei replied.

"What is it?"

"Yes, what else can I do?"

Everyone looked at Zhou Fei in unison, with curiosity written all over their faces.

"That's listing financing!" Zhou Fei paused, then replied.

Although listing financing also belongs to external financing, it is still a bit different from the plan Li Jianneng said before. After all, listing is the path that Feichi Group will eventually take, and the funds that can be raised by listing are comparable to directly opening up the online car-hailing business. Much more funding is available!

"But didn't Mr. Zhou say that now is not the best time to go public?" Ma Huafu asked suspiciously.

Regarding the group listing, Zhou Fei has already mentioned it to them. Zhou Fei's idea is to wait for the various businesses to be rolled out, and then go public collectively, so that the market value of the group will reach the largest. What Zhou Fei said "Various businesses" include online car-hailing business!

"One moment and another, and what I'm thinking this time is not the overall listing, but to let one of the subsidiaries go public first, and then launch the group's overall listing later." Zhou Fei replied.

Regarding the matter of letting one of the subsidiaries go public first, and then go public as a whole, Zhou Fei has been thinking about it for a long time. To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of funds. Not less than $100 billion!
With this 100 billion US dollars, all subsequent business development will be guaranteed.

But in the matter of choosing which company to go public independently, Zhou Fei encountered difficulties again.First of all, Zhou Fei will definitely give priority to several subsidiaries under the jurisdiction of Feichi Motors, but for traditional cars, the electrification strategy has just begun, but there is no mass-produced electric car yet, and the valuation of the IPO will inevitably be affected.

Then the only option left is Tesla.The market value of Tesla in the previous life could reach 8000 billion U.S. dollars. Although it has the influence of Musk’s aerospace business, even if it is put here, Tesla’s market value will not be lower than 5000 billion U.S. dollars. It is conservatively estimated that if At this time, Tesla went public, and the IPO was at least 200 billion US dollars!
But Zhou Fei was still vacillating. After all, for such a big event, it took more than a year to complete it from the start to the real IPO. The IPO project is really too big.

The most important thing is that Zhou Fei still wants to wait until Tesla has made a new breakthrough in driverless driving, at least until the ADAS system is installed in the car before launching the market.

So now Zhou Fei is also very tangled.

"Which company is always going to be listed first that week?" Ma Huafu continued to ask.

"After much deliberation, Tesla is currently the most suitable, so I would like to hear your opinions, especially yours, Ma." Zhou Fei replied.

Tesla IPO?
To be honest, everyone here, including Ma Huafu, did not think of this.

"At present, Tesla has launched two cars, and the latest two cars are expected to be released in a year. It is not impossible to go public, but I always feel that it is a bit too hasty, just for this little cash. There will likely be more losses in the future, so we have to wait until we go further in intelligence." Ma Skincare thought for a moment, then stood in the company's perspective and gave his own answer.

"What about you, do you think the same as Lao Ma?" Zhou Fei nodded, and then looked at the other people.

"Almost, I think Lao Ma is right, you can't blindly go public just for the 40 billion shortfall in front of you."

"Besides, it's not just a matter of getting listed. The qualification review alone will take more than half a year. Mr. Zhou can't wait so long."

Li Jianneng and Zhang Xiang then said.

It can be seen that everyone disagrees with letting Tesla go public at this time.

"To be honest, I have the same idea as you, but the idea of ​​going public has been lingering in my mind. Since you say so, let's rule out the plan of Tesla going public first." Zhou Fei scratched his head and said.
