Chapter 673

With the success of the first tour, in the following time, Zhou Fei held two unmanned driving tours in New York and Washington, respectively, which also aroused enthusiastic responses, making the discussion on unmanned driving reach a high level. unprecedented extent.

"The air ticket to go back has been booked, and we will return to Shanghai the day after tomorrow." Zhou Fei said to Jiang Yang in the hotel.

The Shanghai tour is scheduled for a week later. Of course, the most important thing for Zhou Fei to go back this time is to deal with Tesla’s listing. According to the news from Ma Huafu, Tesla’s IPO has entered the stage of stock offering It will be officially listed on Nasdaq soon.

"What's Fei Ge's plan for the commercial application of unmanned driving?" Jiang Yang asked.

Now that this technology has matured, it is a very real question when it will be used commercially.

"Look at the attitudes of the regulatory authorities in various countries. Large-scale promotion like electric vehicles should not be possible in a short period of time." Zhou Fei paused, and continued, "However, the response from the domestic side should be faster, and it won't take long. It can be promoted on a small scale, and I want to first promote and use it in the car-sharing business under Feichi Travel."

Relevant domestic departments have long known about Feichi Group’s research and development of unmanned driving, and have formulated relevant regulations for possible situations. Judging from the attitude of the official reply, they are still very supportive of the promotion of unmanned driving.

However, as discussed on the Internet, there are indeed a series of problems in the promotion of unmanned driving. According to domestic practice, for this kind of reform of "crossing the river by feeling the stones", the promotion strategy from point to surface is the most suitable .

In short, you need to be bold, but your steps must be steady!

"It's a good choice to promote unmanned driving through the car sharing business. After I go back this time, I will hurry up and come up with a plan." Jiang Yang nodded.

After all, the tour is just a demonstration. More consumers' understanding of driverless cars is only in the intuitive experience. If you want to further promote driverless cars, you still need to let more consumers experience it for themselves. The car is undoubtedly the best platform.

Through the car-sharing business, more people will have a better understanding of driverless driving, and at the same time, it will be convenient for fixed-point delivery and small-scale trials according to policy requirements.

Once the concept of unmanned driving is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then commercial production is a natural thing.

In the following time, Zhou Fei and Jiang Yang further exchanged views on the development of unmanned driving, basically forming a large framework for the development of unmanned driving.

Two days later, Zhou Fei and his team finally returned to Shanghai, and it was already February 20th. Zhou Fei had been abroad for more than a month for the unmanned tour.

After a short period of jet lag, Zhou Fei came to Tesla's headquarters immediately to discuss the listing with Ma Huafu.

"Mr. Zhou came here so soon, why don't you take a rest?" After seeing Zhou Fei, Ma Huafu couldn't help but said.

Zhou Fei glanced at the materials in Ma Huafu's hand, "I don't have time to rest, are you going to a meeting?"

"Well, the stock sale and road show will be held soon, and the representatives of JPMorgan and other investment banks would like to emphasize a few more points." Ma Huafu nodded, "Do you want to go with Mr. Zhou?"

"Then let's go together, I just happened to learn about the specific process of listing." Zhou Fei said as he walked.

After going through the listing counseling process, Tesla's listing process has been significantly accelerated, and there is only a final touch before the final bell to go public.

The theme of this meeting is to further implement the specific details of the stock sale and the road show, and at the same time determine the final time for the bell to go public.

"As for the stock price of the IPO, I think it can be raised a little more?" Zhou Fei asked directly after explaining all the details.

The initial stock offering price was set at $20, a decision made after considering various circumstances, which was $3 higher than Tesla’s IPO share price in the previous life.

But this pricing is the optimal choice based on past information. With the success of the driverless tour, it must be good news for Tesla's stock pricing!

Zhou Fei certainly hopes to maximize the scale of the IPO.

"With regard to the stock pricing of the IPO, we also plan to change it again. The successful tour of the driverless car has given us a lot of room to increase the price." Zhou Fei's proposal was quickly approved by the representatives of the investment bank.

Before the news of unmanned driving spread, JPMorgan’s valuation of Tesla was less than 5000 billion U.S. dollars, but with the news, the capital market’s latest valuation of Tesla is close to 5500 billion U.S. dollars Dollar up!

This is the power of technology!
After some discussion, the latest bid price given by the investment bank representative has become 25 US dollars. If the number of shares issued is taken into account, it is conservatively estimated that the news of unmanned driving will bring billions of dollars to Feichi Group!

"You have to take care of the rest of the work. If you have any problems, report to me as soon as possible." After the meeting, Zhou Fei said to Ma Huafu while walking.

There is less than a month left before the final bell to go public, and the closer it is to this juncture, the more cautious we must be.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, you can leave the job of going public to me, and you only need to be responsible for ringing the bell when the time comes." Ma Huafu replied with a smile.

"By the way, will Mr. Zhou still participate in the unmanned driving tour in Shanghai this time?" Ma Huafu asked.

"I'm just in charge of making an appearance, and I won't participate in the tour." Zhou Fei shook his head, "Why, Lao Ma wants to experience it?"

"Well, I do have this idea." Ma Huafu replied.

During this period of time, Ma Huafu has been busy with Tesla’s listing work, and he has not had the opportunity to participate in the three tours in the United States. This time he finally arrived in Shanghai. Ma Huafu also wants to experience what it is to ride a driverless car. Such a feeling.

"Okay, then you will be the leader of the team. You have really worked hard during this time. You should be allowed to participate in the unmanned tour." Zhou Fei immediately agreed.

"Then thank you Mr. Zhou." Ma Huafu replied with a smile.

***
In the next few days, Zhou Fei will be relatively more leisurely. Apart from learning about Tesla's listing work every day, there is nothing else to do.

And on the fourth day after Zhou Fei returned to Shanghai, the last unmanned driving tour before the listing officially kicked off in Shanghai. For this car event held in front of his home, domestic car fans can be described as feasting their eyes. , the atmosphere at the scene was even more enthusiastic than the previous three tours!
After this tour, the most important thing for the entire Mercedes-Benz Group is the final listing of Tesla. The entire Tesla headquarters is filled with an atmosphere of financial freedom.
