騰訊透過公開市場以及最近Tesla增發新股籌資
花了約18億美元取得了5%的Tesla股票
騰訊自己也有投資電動車公司，蔚來汽車(就是做出NIO EP9電動超跑的公司)
這次又大手筆收購了Tesla 5%的股票
Musk在推特上也特別提到，很高興騰訊成為Tesla的投資者跟顧問
目前Musk是Tesla第一大股東，持股約21%
騰訊收購5%股票後成為第五大股東
相對於另外一家也有投資電動車的樂視來說 (樂視投資的Faraday Future大概快倒了)
騰訊相對比較穩健，投資的行業相當的多
近年來比較知名的投資案大概就是收購了Supercell
有在玩手遊的應該都不陌生
騰訊這次的投資案說不定會成為未來幾年後Tesla到中國設廠的起點
除了在美國生產汽車外，Tesla下一步應該會在德國或其他歐洲國家設廠生產汽車
Gigafactory 2、3在美國歐洲設廠，再來汽車製造廠跟Gigafactory很有可能就是中國了

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.
