American Fortune Life

Xiao Feixie made a lot of sense of existence in supporting new energy, especially with the innovative pioneer Tesla company as a note, the slogan of "suffocating dreams" by 'big dreamer' Andy Smith became a special feature. The starting point of Sla's dream of selling, in the continuous marketing, a big bubble was blown...

Under the pursuit of a group of environmentalist allies, Tesla has become a good example of saving the earth, and a group of loyal Tesla fans are slowly being born.

Taking advantage of this upsurge, Tesla’s official website uploaded a 10-minute video, which is an edited video of converting a Mercedes-Benz Smart into an electric car. The modification project includes chassis, battery, motor and electronic control system. and the whole testing process.

Andy showed his face in this video, with a handsome face, a sunny smile, and a magnetic voice, and said calmly: "Many people are saying that we tell stories, bragging about 13, Buty. The bragging 13 we have..."

In the picture, Andy raised his eyebrows, shrugged, and smiled confidently: "It's becoming a reality!"

Then there is an animation dubbed by Andy to demonstrate the Internet driverless car.

In the automatic driving mode of the Model S concept car, the steering wheel of the vehicle will be automatically folded and hidden under the front panel. When manual driving is required, the steering wheel blooms like petals again...

As this super shocking video was reprinted and reported by major websites and TV stations, Tesla and Andy Smith once again became the pioneers of global innovative technology, which instantly detonated the entire automotive industry and IT industry.

Internet driverless system?

Nima, has Tesla started to develop this kind of high-tech that burns money?

In the past two days, Tesla has completely become the hottest IT innovation company in the world, and the number of visits to Tesla's official website has skyrocketed. The most important thing is that the sales of electric supercars that had been declining have been increased again.

When the number of official orders reached 2,500 units, Tesla officially announced the closure of the electric supercar ordering system, and the electric supercar officially confirmed the decision to sell only 2,500 units in 28 countries and regions around the world.

As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar again, and various speculations and statements were also clamored. The most talked about was Tesla's re-engagement in sales.

No matter how the outside world speculates, after Tesla announced this decision, it stopped responding to any questions. It seemed that it didn't care about the current hot situation, and started production and research and development with all its heart.

The reason for the limited number of 2,500 units is actually that Tesla’s production capacity cannot keep up. That’s it, the delivery time of the last one may also be scheduled for 2010.

No matter how big the bubble Andy is blowing, it must have a realistic foundation. To expand production capacity, it is undoubtedly necessary to build a new factory and recruit new workers. This is a huge investment. Andy is not crazy, continue Burn money in it.

He is waiting for the loan from the Department of Energy to be in place, waiting for investors to rush to send him money and let Tesla burn!

That's right, Andy is ready to call the iron hot, and Tesla has decided to start financing!

"Tell the representatives of Daimler Benz, $200 million for a 10% stake, that's my bottom line, if they want to make a deal, if not, I don't mind modifying one to impress BMW."

Andy said to the executives of Tesla in the video, if it weren't for the fact that Tesla really needs to introduce partners in the matter of building cars, he really wouldn't necessarily choose these traditional car companies, but he would I want to cooperate with General Motors, but unfortunately, General Motors cannot protect itself. If the US government does not rescue them, it is only a matter of time before they go bankrupt.

The refitting video of the Elf car was aimed at attracting investors, and it achieved its goal. Not only did Daimler Benz call the first time, but even Toyota called to inquire about investment matters, and BMW naturally did not fall behind. .

Andy, who doesn't like the foot basin, naturally won't lure wolves into the house,

Although this time Andy originally planned to be a lion and slaughter people, but for the huge returns that may be brought by Tesla's IPO in the future, Andy does not want the foot basin to take advantage of it at all.

As for the executives in Tesla's conference room, when they heard the big boss's quotation, although their expressions did not change, each one of them complained frantically in their hearts, and they were extremely toothless.

It's so dark!

This is thinking about earning back the money from the acquisition of Tesla!

Nima, it's only been a few months, the big boss dared to call out a valuation of 2 billion, it's crazy!

But if you do the math, the valuation of 2 billion is not an exaggeration, the sales of 2,500 units have reached more than 300 million US dollars, and the profit is also more than 20 million, plus the 500 million low-interest loan from the Ministry of Energy, especially Tesla is not short of money, and the introduction of Daimler at this time is more about the need for strategic cooperation.

"Okay, boss, we will inform the Daimler negotiators later."

After Andy nodded, he looked at the executive in the third position on the left hand side of the video screen, and said, "John, how is the domain name going?"

The current Tesla Motors domain name is somewhat lengthy. Since Tesla adopts the Silicon Valley approach to handle everything from product development to sales, a genuine domain name is undoubtedly very critical.

As the director of Tesla's network department, John Berry Hill said with a helpless wry smile: "Sorry, boss, there has been little progress. The domain name has been owned by Silicon Valley engineer Stu Grossman since 1992, and has been in use for as long as 16 years. It has not been used for 2 years, and the reason why he bought the domain name at that time was because of his close relationship with the inventor Nikola Tesla, and the purpose of purchasing the domain name was for his own use.

We've been trying to convince him to give up ownership of the domain name, but with little success..."

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up, showing a sneer, and interrupted the other party directly with a wave of his hand, saying: "The money is still not in place! What's the price now?"

"Two million dollars..."

"Add another one million to discuss, and five million is the bottom line. If he is still greedy, then give up. Although this is not perfect, I hate greedy people!" Andy said coldly.

"Understood, boss, we will find a way to get the domain name." Looking at the indifferent expression on the face of the young big boss, John hurriedly expressed his opinion in his heart.

"Next Monday, the 27th, the Ministry of Energy's loan will arrive. Although we have money, the R\u0026D budget must be strictly controlled. We can afford failure, but we cannot accept useless failure and waste." Andy mainly It was to Martin, the chief engineer, that this guy is a bit extravagant, and his ability to control costs is very bad. Andy had to equip him with a budget team to strictly control the R\u0026D budget.

Martin shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. He didn't feel angry or uneasy because of Andy's words. He had been kicked out of the game before, and when he returned to the company he founded, his mentality had changed a lot. The R\u0026D boss works under his subordinates, and it is very rare to give him a lot of freedom.

After the video conference ended, Andy did not leave the study, but directly picked up the phone and called Alvitley in New York.

"Al, I'll send you a fax in a moment. It contains some domain names that I need. You can ask someone to apply for them all for me..."

When we talked about the Tesla domain name just now, Andy was thinking about preempting domain names. It’s not that he didn’t think about it before, but after he asked, he became a little depressed. For example, there are only 4 single-letter domain names in the world. The others are all reserved by the Registry, not to mention the domain names of English words such as diamonds, funds, etc., which have already been squatted out.

And Andy became interested again this time, because he thought of robbing the future, for example,,...

Although the practice of robbing the Tianchao Company is a bit shameless, who told Andy to know the emerging companies of the Tianchao the best, and the Tianchao Company also cares about the rectification of the name, and will spend a lot of money to redeem it, which is a lot of money He will never miss the deal.
