That night, inside the Warner Penthouse Suite at Four Seasons Hotel.

Abel is naturally proud of his youth.

There is no need to describe it in detail here.

I want to describe it in detail and wait until the Harmonious Divine Beast is born and eats vegetarian food one day.

The second morning.

Abel held the first Internet video conference for senior executives of all his own companies.

From Alvertley of Oasis Investment to Rana, from Zhang Xianglin of the Sun Fund to Cary Garnett, from Elizabeth Holmes of the Red Giant to two vice presidents of Victoria's Secret, and even David Adams who is heading towards New York on a private plane.

The network used is an encrypted signal network specially provided by Verizon Communications. The contact software is the company's internal management software, which ensures that the conference is absolutely confidential and ensures that the image signals and various sound signals can present a perfect effect of more than 99%.

A high-level video conference of Abel's internal enterprise.

Looking at the video avatars of the executives placed on the screen in the computer in front of him, Abel smiled and waved to everyone: "Good morning everyone!"

The response to him is naturally everyone's greetings.

Skip this here and not mention it.

Then after everyone was quieter, Abel raised the main topics of today's video conference.

"Today is our first video conference. I have always had an idea to bring everyone together and hold a good meeting. Then there has been no meeting. Although today is not face-to-face, it is no different from face-to-face conferences. Just treat it as an internal meeting in the company in the future, and a preview on the online video."

His opening remarks are very ordinary.

Then the most important topics of today's video conference were directly raised.

"There is only one thing to discuss today. That is, but is there any value for acquisition?"

"Please express your opinions."

After saying this, he stopped talking, but leaned against the chair with his hands on his chest and looked at the people on the screen.

Under his gaze.

The two Victoria's Secret executives who are not very familiar with are nervous.

Alvertley and Rana were the ones who followed Abel the longest, so they were the most relaxed.

Although Elizabeth Sherlock Holmes is actually next door to Abel, she still honestly conducts this connection through video conferences. This is also the first time she has been involved in Abel's real decision-making team.

David Adams was doing nothing on the plane. He is now almost the manager of the energy or oil industry under his name booked by Abel. After all, he is also a brother-in-law and a rare elite of the younger generation of Tianlong people. He has been working in the oil industry for 9 years. Whether in terms of intelligence, identity, experience, etc., he is fully qualified to be. The only thing he lacks is probably that he is younger.

Zhang Xianglin and Kari Garnett were the most excited. They were the youngest among these people. Naturally, the most radical and bravest among these people.

Looking at the executives in front of me.

Abel felt that he was good at everything, but he still lacked in high-end talents. Especially in the industry, there was not even a single high-end talents with a reputation.

Even Alvertley can only be counted as half of the person. He once served as the deputy general manager at Sequoia Capital. This is the one with the best qualifications among all the talents under Abel.

Rana is about the same.

Others...

The two vice presidents of Victoria's Secret have been surrendered recently. Abel saw that they were very capable and were very honest in doing things, and was ready to try it out.

Both Cary Garnett and Zhang Xianglin are young people, both of whom have walked out of the ivory tower of the university for not long. They have the ability, but they still lack qualifications and experience.

David Adams, relying on his identity as the Adams family, is very popular across the country. However, in terms of ability, he is very serious in terms of academic disciplines, only in terms of oil and popularity, and has made great achievements in connections.

Elizabeth Sherlock Holmes... has not yet taken off his hat as the best female liar in the world! Now in the business world, it is almost the kind that everyone calls for.

Still lacking talent!

While waiting for everyone to speak, Abel thought so in his heart.

The first guy who spoke was the closest and cleverest Kari Garnett here.

This young blonde guy, I thought for less than a few seconds before I spoke first.

"Boss! From the perspective of an investment manager, Tesla will definitely be the type of company that will be blacklisted this year! As far as I know, the documents submitted by Tesla at the end of January this year showed that the Fremont, Palo Alto and Lethrop factories laid off a total of 1,017 employees, but these layoffs are part of the previously announced layoff plan and are expected to account for 7% of the company's total employees. According to Tesla's latest annual report, as of the end of 2018, the company had a total of 48,817 employees. At the end of 2017, the number was 53,800!"

"This reduction in scale is terrifying! No normal company has laid off more than 1/10 of its employees in a year!"

"To sum up, just based on this point, I think Tesla is no longer worth investing in and is no longer worth pursuing! There is no need to look at its stocks, because if you look at Tesla's stocks, you will find it even worse!"

The young man is the young man. Abel looked at Carrie Garnett and spoke very fiercely.

After Carrie Garnett finished speaking, Abel laughed and responded: "Hmm! From this perspective, Tesla is really bad now. But I remember, dear Carrie, your car now seems to be model x! I heard that you bought this Tesla product when you were in California. Then when you came to work in New York, you spent thousands of dollars to send it from California. Now it seems that you love Tesla cars very much, but you don't like Tesla!"

Carri Garnett shrugged in the video, "Boss! I just love the tranquility and a sense of acceleration! Although Tesla is very unbearable, now the only electric car in the world is Tesla..."

"uh-huh……"

Abel nodded.

"This answer is quite satisfactory. What about the others? Do you have any constructive ideas about Elon Musk coming to me personally and hoping that I can invest in Tesla?"

Everyone was quite envious when they saw the boss and Carri Garnett jokingly. Although they were calm, Zhang Xianglin, who was also a young man, immediately followed:

"My opinion is similar to that of Kari. Musk is no longer the chairman of Tesla, and Tesla's largest shareholder has openly declared in the media that Musk is not only not suitable to be the chairman of Tesla, but he is even a little incompetent in Tesla's CEO now."

"Almost half of people choose to trust Tesla because of Musk and invest in Tesla. If Musk really loses his position as CEO, then Tesla's future will definitely be very unstable!"

“I don’t recommend investing either.”

"This is my personal idea."

Zhang Xianglin ended.

"uh-huh!"

Abel nodded and signaled to everyone: "Continue to say something..."

Seeing that both young people spoke, Alvertley felt that he could not continue to be quiet. As the boss's empire expanded, if he had been so dull, his future status might be taken away by other energetic young people.

Alvertley doesn't want this.

He calmly spoke for the third time:

“RBC Capital Markets warned its customers in a research report released on Monday that when Silicon Valley electric vehicle maker Tesla released its fourth-quarter earnings report in December, bleak product demand and the model 3 delivery issues Tesla faces in markets outside the United States will put pressure on the company’s performance.”

"One of the largest brokers in Kamada has lowered its forecast for model 3 shipments in the fourth quarter from 57,000 to 52,500, and lowered its target price of Tesla stock from $350 to $300, which means that the capital market of Kamada Royal Bank of Kamada believes that Tesla's stock price will fall by more than 20% in the next year."

"My opinion is also that Tesla is not worth investing in now. If it were 10 years ago, investing in Tesla would be a good business!"

Abel nodded without comment.

Motion to others: "Continue."

After the first three people started, the two Victoria's Secret presidents also plucked up the courage to express their respective opinions. Then there was the thoughtful Rana Pice.

The views of these three are almost the same as those of the previous three. They all analyze the unreliability of Tesla today from various perspectives, as well as the personal difficulties of Tesla and Elon Musk. From 2005 to the present in 2018, Elon Musk and Tesla, who have been in full swing for more than a decade, are finally likely to suffer the biggest Waterloo in history.

But this does not mean that Elon Musk and Tesla are not outstanding enough. On the contrary, whether it is Elon Musk or Tesla. Tesla's marketing methods and the means of Elon Musk creating a character for himself can be said to be the best in the entire business world who cannot choose a few examples, and is very outstanding.

The reason why Tesla and Elon Musk, the creator of Tesla, failed is purely because without the outbreak of technology, pure electric vehicles are an industry without a future. Before the battery has no revolutionary technological progress, pure electric and environmentally friendly cars are a false proposition.

During the lifetime of an electric vehicle, 600,000 kilometers of driving, the pollution caused by the batteries it uses is several times more serious than the exhaust gas and pollutants emitted by a gasoline vehicle running 600,000 kilometers.

The waste gas pollutants can be purified through forests, but the treatment cost of lithium batteries is too high!

This is not a failure of Tesla's company, nor is this a failure of Ey Longmusk alone.

This is an industry failure.

After the previous few people expressed their opinions, only David Adams and Elizabeth Holmes have not spoken yet.

David Adams waved his hand straightforwardly: "I am not in my position and not doing anything. I am not familiar with finance and electric cars, and I have nothing to say about Tesla."

Abel nodded again.

He looked at Elizabeth Sherlock Holmes in the video, even though she was actually next door to where she was now.

"Elizabeth...what do you want to say?" Abel asked her.

"purchase!"

Elizabeth Sherlock Holmes said in a brief manner.

This surprised Abel very much.

When everyone is not optimistic about Tesla and more than 80% of investors from the outside world are unwilling to continue investing in Tesla, why does Elizabeth say to buy it?

She said, "I remember when I started my business, my company didn't even have real products, and the valuation reached 9 billion US dollars... Now Tesla's products are actually running on the streets, although they have various defects. But at least it is not a Ponzi scheme. After all, most Tesla owners still seem to be very satisfied with their electric cars. Mr. Carrie Garnett, are you still satisfied with your electric cars?"

Cary Garnett didn't expect Elizabeth Holmes to name him.

He was stunned for a moment, nodded hesitantly and said, "I am very satisfied. It is quiet, and the acceleration is very fast. You don't need to refuel. Just plug in and charge when you get home from get off work every day! I think if you rule out the battery life, the electric car is definitely the best car in the world."

"Hmm! Thank you for your experience, Mr. Garnett." Elizabeth said to Cary Garnett and looked at Abel with a smile, "Look. Tesla has absolutely no product strength. What is Tesla lacking now? What is it lacking is to reduce costs and output... In other aspects, Tesla really doesn't lack it!"

"On the contrary! After 2010, I think now is the best opportunity to acquire Tesla! The entire electric vehicle industry has encountered a frost period, and maybe this industry will not recover. But maybe this is just the trough of this industry. As long as you get through the trough period, Tesla will have a little chance in the future because it is a brilliant company like Apple."

"So..." Abel looked at Elizabeth, "Your opinion is to buy it? Right?!"

"Yes," said Elizabeth.

"Okay. The meeting ends here. Everyone is busy with their own affairs!" Abel simply ended the video conference. "Elizabeth, come to my office in 10 minutes!"

Then he turned off the computer.

With his eyes open, he looked at the smoke of fate floating in the air in front of him. This is the reason why Abel ended this video conference so quickly.

The smoke of fate jumped out again.

While everyone was discussing whether Tesla is worth investing in, it suddenly popped up.

[Task: Acquire more than 60% of Tesla's shares at the lowest price! Spend more than US$30 billion, no reward. Spend about US$20 billion, primary mysterious reward. Spend about US$10 billion, intermediate mysterious reward. Spend about US$5 billion, advanced mysterious reward.]
