American Fortune Life

The next morning, Andy, who was dressed in British style, yawned, and lazily removed one of his feet from the car and landed on the ground.

"boom!"

Martin opened the umbrella, and Andy stood under the umbrella, adjusted his windbreaker, and frowned in disgust. He hated this continuous rainy day, everything was so wet.

He quickly walked up the hanging ladder and entered his luxurious palace in the sky. While taking off his coat, he walked to the master bedroom on the upper floor.

He quickly took off his clothes and threw them on the sofa beside him, picked up the remote control on the fixed rack, and after pressing a few buttons, the environment in the master bedroom became darker, the sky above the cabin turned into a bright starry sky, and ethereal and soothing music sounded .

Sitting on the comfortable sofa at the side, pulled out the seat belt and fastened it, and waited until the weightlessness of taking off disappeared, then untied the seat belt, walked to the edge of the wound and lifted the quilt, got in, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep caught.

No way, I worked as a hardworking little bee all night, first gave the South African Candice demon flower fen for two or three hours, and then was directly intercepted by the Tuao little white flower who turned into a machine, tossing him half the night, this One night was so busy that I didn't even have time to sleep. . .

"Heck, let's have a motorcycle race, I'll do the motorcycle..."

"Riding horses on my grandmother's farm was one of my favorite things as a kid and now it's a great feeling..."

"Wait, wait, the fresh juice will be squeezed out soon..."

"call--"

Sweetheart's smile, small dimples, charming blue electric eyes, and non-stop pony DA all dissipated in a sense of weightlessness. Andy woke up from his sleep and exhaled a foul breath.

Well, Miranda's incarnation as a female leopard who can never get enough to eat still left a deep impression on him, Nima, he even dreamed of her.

This little bitch, perhaps because of Candice's appearance put pressure on her, that's why she fully bloomed. However, it has to be said that this little bitch not only has anti-physical properties, but also has blue magic replenishment With her skills, ordinary people really can't stand up to her, and she really deserves to be a member of the Hi Shang Yun Xiao Club.

If I remember correctly, this little white flower is still for men and women, tsk tsk, it seems that a new CP can be formed in the future. . .

In front of the headquarters building of the Tesla campus in Palo Alto, San Francisco Bay Area, Andy got out of the car, and Martin Eberhard, chief engineer of Tesla, greeted him through two separate glass doors.

"Is everyone here?" After a simple handshake and greeting, Andy walked into the lobby of the building first, and while nodding to the employees who kept greeting him, he asked Eberhard beside him.

"We're all waiting in the conference room."

Andy nodded, walked into the elevator, and continued to ask: "Has Daimler responded to our request for technical support?"

"Not yet. However, they have initially agreed to our offer, and they are waiting for the approval of Daimler's board of directors. They also hope that through this stake, they will establish a closer strategic cooperation with us, and we will supply electric motors and batteries. for their SmartFortwo electric car."

"Well." Andy is naturally aware that if the two parties want to conclude a deal and establish a strategic partnership, the first thing is to ensure that everyone does not suffer from each other, and each other is staring at each other's technology, hoping to get support.

"Our car-making technology still needs technical support from Daimler, otherwise, our production capacity will always be limited by technology and cannot be improved, especially when the current environment is so favorable for our Tesla electric vehicles. , If you don't seize the opportunity, you won't make money..."

While sighing, Andy, who walked out of the elevator and went straight to the meeting room, this time to rush back to Tesla, in addition to signing a contract with Daimler to sell 10% of the shares to the other party at a price of 200 million US dollars, more importantly The most important thing is the negotiation of technical support.

Not long ago, California once again launched a "super" emission reduction plan, making drastic changes to various sources of greenhouse gas generation.

Everything from factory production, gasoline to everyday products.

This undoubtedly provides Tesla with the best negotiation environment. This kind of emission reduction plan is simply helping Andy increase the valuation of Tesla Electric Vehicle Company. How could he not rush back to sit in charge in person.

We must know that California has always been an advanced state in the United States for environmental protection. Its greenhouse gas emission reduction policies have attracted other states to follow suit. This time, Andy believes that other states will also come up with corresponding plans for this emission reduction plan.

Although this overly large environmental protection plan may bring a huge burden to the already heavily indebted California finances, the plan has been unanimously passed by the California Air Resources Board. The governor of the Terminator even stated that he hopes that this plan can effectively stimulate economic development and become a model for states to learn from.

After all, green technology is one of the few bright spots in a sluggish economy.

"The new environmental protection policy includes 31 specific measures, covering almost every aspect of people's lives, including regulations on where people build houses and what materials are used to build them.

The most important point is that the core of this policy is the cap-and-trade scheme for emissions that came into effect in 2012.

According to this plan, power plants, smelters and other large-scale factories must purchase emission rights through carbon emission trading, which will undoubtedly economically motivate factories to reduce emissions. At least tens of millions of dollars can be exchanged for funds.

The plan would also impose green limits on automakers, though that would require approval from the Washington government. But everyone knows that this policy is expected to be implemented due to the positive environmental protection concept of our president-elect, Mr. O Hei Niu. "

In the conference room, Andy listened to a senior executive explain and analyze the content of California's new plan in detail. He nodded and said with a smile: "It is conceivable that after the implementation of the new policy, people will see To more fuel-efficient and hybrid cars, it will also make cars more expensive.

California has the most stringent regulations on automobile exhaust emission restrictions in the United States. This re-emission reduction plan is undoubtedly a fatal blow to these automakers. California's huge market will have a chain reaction in other parts of the United States. The needs of this large market will actively improve product standards.

However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime development opportunity for us. Our era has come, the era of pure electric vehicles!

Believe me, we're about to start making big bucks. As long as our Model S can be mass-produced quickly.

I have never been a stingy person. I will put 10% of the shares into the equity incentive pool as a reward for those who have made great contributions to the company.

All it takes is one opportunity, I will fully promote the company's IPO process, land on NASDAQ, Tesla will become the only independent manufacturer of pure electric vehicles listed in the United States, and you will also become millionaires , and even billionaires! "

"Papa papa—"

Everyone in the conference room blushed with excitement and applauded enthusiastically. You must know that Tesla’s shares are all held by the boss alone. Although Daimler will join this time, everyone No matter what they said, they never thought that their young boss would be so generous.

Nima, 10%, that's 200 million US dollars, just so casually thrown into the incentive pool by the big boss as an equity incentive, facing such a big piece of cake, it's a ghost if everyone is not excited, nothing compares The benefits of real value are more motivating.

"Boss, based on the emission reduction plan launched by the state government this time, I think our Tesla electric supercar should continue to be sold..."

The first to speak was the chief engineer Martin Eberhard, but when this proposal came out, not only Andy frowned slightly, but even the executives in the conference room also frowned slightly, and began to secretly look at the face of their young big boss, Discuss in a low voice.

You must know that the sales volume of 2,500 vehicles is Andy's decision when facing many media, in order to give the outside world a sense that Tesla will not be satisfied with the existing achievements, and will fully develop new products and new products. The force of technology.

If you want to make a slip of the tongue to make money now, you will undoubtedly make the big boss slap yourself in the face, Nima, is this idiot Martin crazy?

"Ahem..." Seeing the boss frowning, his face indifferent, and everyone looking like you're crazy, Martin Eberhard waved his hands anxiously, and hurriedly explained with a reddish face: "Sorry, everyone, don't get me wrong. , I'm not talking about our first-generation Lotus electric sports car.

I mean, we now have mature mass production technology for electric sports cars, and Daimler has become our shareholder and established a close cooperative relationship. We can choose a sports car from the Mercedes-Benz family for electric mass production , are ready-made technologies, mass production is easy, and you will not miss the spree of the California emission reduction plan. . . "

"Good idea, as long as we add some new technology, it will be launched as the second-generation Tesla electric sports car, as long as the appearance is classic enough..."

"We can slightly increase the power of the electric motor to improve the battery life, we can do it, no problem at all..."

The corners of Andy's mouth turned up slightly. Hearing that all the executives echoed Martin's idea, he complained in his heart. Sure enough, the benefits are touching. This is obviously a plan to change the soup without changing the medicine!

Well, he also thinks the idea is brilliant!

"Ok..."

Andy frowned slightly pretendingly, touched his chin and pondered, and then said with some embarrassment: "Can our production capacity keep up?"

"We can make the sample car perfect, and the delivery time can be delayed. I believe our customers will understand..."

"Yes, everyone will understand!"

"That's right, anyway, our current order is still delayed, we just need to make a few more phone calls, customers are still very understanding..." 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our reading institute
