According to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Tencent’s acquisition of 5% of Tesla’s shares is about $1.778 billion and will hold 8,167,544 shares of Tesla’s common stock, accounting for 5% of the total share capital. Tencent has become the fifth largest shareholder of Tesla, and the largest shareholder is still founder and CEO Musk (holding 20.6%).

Tesla CEO Musk said on his Twitter account that Tencent is a Tesla investor and consultant.

I felt that there was really no defense, and there was news that Tencent had invested in Tesla.

According to related reports, Tencent held a 5% passive stock of Tesla (without execution rights). As a result of this news, Tesla's share price rose nearly 3%, and it reached $278.39 at the close on Monday. After the opening of the Hong Kong stock market, Tencent Holdings rose 1.8% in Hong Kong to HK$230, a record high.

Tencent just wants to make an investment? In the end, I’m fancy

According to foreign media, Tencent’s way of investing in Tesla includes participating in the recent placement of Tesla shares and buying the latter shares in the open market. Tencent’s passive equity means that the company may not seek to get a board seat or drive a company change.

Tencent's European director, Andrea Gizzoni, said in an interview that "the investment in Tesla is in line with Tencent's evolution. The investment in Tesla can help us create a connected car that can use WeChat. Third party services, including calling a contact or paying for a fuel."

Previously, Tencent has invested in the automotive industry, including Didi Travel and Map Group Here. Other shareholders of the latter include BMW, Mercedes-Benz Donger Daimler and Audi.

Tencent believes that Tesla is a global pioneer in new technologies such as electric vehicles, driverless vehicles, shared vehicles, and sustainable energy production. At the same time, Tencent also said that they have been promoting eco-win-win, and they also hope to promote the emerging technology industry by encouraging internal innovation. However, Tencent has no specific plans for the cooperation between the two companies.

In July last year, the auto company Harmony Futeng, which was established by Tencent and Foxconn, plans to complete the first round of financing this fall, and this financing is also to launch the first driverless car by 2020. Harmony Futeng has dig up as many as 50 engineers from major automakers. By the end of 2017, the company plans to expand the team to 600 people.

As we all know, there is always a battle between Autopolit and Drivelesscar in the future direction of the automotive field. To achieve more advanced driverless functions, we must have high-precision digital maps and advanced production capabilities. Full layout of vendors, cloud services and driverless algorithms.

At present, the only thing that Google and the Apple that has always claimed to build a car lack is a vehicle company to do the foundation. However, Tencent has already completed the layout that the first two giants have failed to complete, and Tesla’s CEO, Musk, has established Tesla’s initial intention to reach the unmanned height, and the new giant is ready to go.

Since Tencent and NavInfo have also held a 10% stake in the famous HERE map, Here map has great influence in the field of digital maps. In addition to Google Maps, Microsoft Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps Services, and Baidu Maps are all from the map of Here.

Targeting the driverless market and accelerating the commercialization of artificial intelligence

In the 10th UEC Cup in Tokyo, the Go AI “Best Art” from Tencent Artificial Intelligence Lab won the championship, and then defeated the Japanese new player, Lili 7th. Although the Alfa Dog’s glorious performance was in the forefront, "The performance is still very eye-catching.

However, artificial intelligence is also an extremely hard-burning field. After the Alpha dog made a good eye, Google still chose to sell a Boston-based company that produces a variety of robotic dogs. The main reason is that artificial intelligence hardware products are in the short term. It is difficult to commercialize.

Among the many AI commercialization models, the intelligent electric vehicle represented by Tesla is the most influential and commercially valuable. Tencent chose to invest in Tesla. I am afraid it is based on this largely. consider.

Tencent and Tesla are inextricably linked, really do not know each other.

Last year, Tencent Cohen Lab announced the successful remote control of Tesla. This is the first time in the world that through a security breach, it has successfully penetrated the Tesla vehicle network without physical contact, and realized any body and driving of Tesla. control.

This is a very good thing. I remember that Cohen Labs got full access and the hack was quite thorough. It is estimated that this time, I did not know each other, let Tesla see Tencent's technical strength, and also set up a bridge for communication between the two sides.

Now Tencent will continue to invest in Tesla or it will be another big move to lay the future unmanned. Although Tencent’s shareholding is “non-positive”, I believe that there will be more in-depth technical, propaganda and localization. Cooperation. More expectation is that after Tencent's share of Tesla, it can speed up the delivery speed of Tesla Model 3 in China, and lower the price, at least not as big as the North American region!
