腾讯透过公开市场以及最近Tesla增发新股筹资
花了约18亿美元取得了5%的Tesla股票
腾讯自己也有投资电动车公司，蔚来汽车(就是做出NIO EP9电动超跑的公司)
这次又大手笔收购了Tesla 5%的股票
Musk在推特上也特别提到，很高兴腾讯成为Tesla的投资者跟顾问
目前Musk是Tesla第一大股东，持股约21%
腾讯收购5%股票后成为第五大股东
相对于另外一家也有投资电动车的乐视来说 (乐视投资的Faraday Future大概快倒了)
腾讯相对比较稳健，投资的行业相当的多
近年来比较知名的投资案大概就是收购了Supercell
有在玩手游的应该都不陌生
腾讯这次的投资案说不定会成为未来几年后Tesla到中国设厂的起点
除了在美国生产汽车外，Tesla下一步应该会在德国或其他欧洲国家设厂生产汽车
Gigafactory 2、3在美国欧洲设厂，再来汽车制造厂跟Gigafactory很有可能就是中国了

Tesla discloses that Chinese holding firm Tencent acquired a total 5%
stake in the company
Tesla’s stock was up 3% this morning in pre-market trading after the
company disclosed through a SEC filing that Tencent, a giant Chinese
holding firm, has been accumulating stock in the electric car company for
a total 5% passive stake worth over $2.2 billion at the current price.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk said that he is “glad to have Tencent as an investor
and advisor to Tesla.”
The company has been purchasing stock following Tesla’s latest stock
offering earlier this month, which likely facilitated the offering. It
paid ~$1.8 billion for the entire stake on the open market.
They wrote in the SEC filing released this morning:
The 8,167,544 shares of Issuer common stock were acquired by the
reporting persons in a registered offering of common stock by the Issuer
on March 17, 2017 and through open market purchases, for an aggregate
purchase price of $1,777,842,836 (including commission).
Tesla isn’t Tencent’s first big investment in electric vehicles –
though it could be its biggest so far in the field.
We have already reported that the Chinese holding firm has already been
backing NIO, formerly known as Next EV, a global electric and autonomous
vehicle startup which reportedly just raised $600 million.
They have also been backing another electric vehicle startup called
Future Mobility Corp, which poached executives from Tesla last year and
is reportedly backed by Foxconn.
Tencent’s headquarters are based in Shenzhen and it is best known for
owning large stakes in several important Chinese tech services, like
WeChat, JD.com, and internationally through its video game companies,
like Riot Games, SuperCell, and others.
While it’s early to say, the new minority owner could help Tesla
establish a manufacturing presence in China for the domestic market. It’
s something the company has been talking about for a while and it was
supposed to announce a partnership last year, but it didn’t happen.
Tesla tripled its sales in China in 2016 to over $1 billion and the
government recently opened the doors for Tesla and other foreign
automakers to produce electric vehicles in the country by relaxing its
strict rules for joint-venture in domestic production.
