American Fortune Life

San Francisco Bay Area.

"This one is a Bay Area view villa, covering an area of ​​3.51 acres, with a living area of ​​7894 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a gym..."

"It's a palace-style decoration again!"

Little assistant Tory Black frowned slightly, looked at the luxury villa in front of him, and interrupted the smiling real estate agent with a cold voice, completely losing interest in continuing to look at it.

"Give me the album." The little assistant asked for the album with a cold expression on her fair and pretty face. While the real estate agent waited carefully, she flipped through it quickly, then found a picture, pointed and said: "Go and see this building."

After finishing speaking, he returned the picture album to the real estate agent, stepped on the five-point high heels, turned around and walked back to the car, bent down and sat in the black Rolls Royce.

The real estate agent with a wry smile also trotted back to his car, started the car, and led the way.

The little assistant sitting in the Rolls-Royce car looked comfortable and proud. The big devil didn't want to live in the hotel anymore, so he asked her to buy a property in the San Francisco Bay Area as a long-term residence, which made the little assistant excited For a long time, you must know that she has not spent tens of millions of dollars with her own hands. Women are naturally excited about spending money.

In front of the modern-style villa with sea and mountain views, the real estate agent carefully looked at the expression on Tory Black's face, and found that the expression looked much better, so he couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He didn't expect the beautiful little girl in front of him to be so tough and difficult to serve. Looking at her, she was wearing a subtle and low-key dark blue suit, a complete set of tops and skirts, and open sleeves, which made the combination of tradition and modern features even more obvious. Sparkle. A head of big BO wave hair hangs down to one side, showing more delicate charm.

Black SI and mermaid skirt can be called a perfect match, especially for such a tall, curvaceous mature beauty, once she wears this style of skirt, she is equivalent to the deadliest youhuo.

The white shirt, with special red flowers embroidered on the neckline, reduces the monotony. I believe no one can resist this professional charm.

Walking slowly in the mansion decorated in an ultra-modern style, looking at the translucent floor-to-ceiling windows, the panoramic view, the metal-textured kitchen, the luxurious marble bathroom, the oversized bathtub, and the Daiso that almost occupies the entire room in the bedroom, Tory Black couldn't help but frown. She picked it up, turned around and said to the real estate agent: "That's it, how much is it..."

Andy, who had just finished the meeting, walked into his office while thinking about the problem.

"boss,

I am back. "

"Huh? How is it? Are you looking forward to it? You have been looking at the house for two days. Don't wait until you leave, I haven't moved out of the hotel yet." Andy took off his suit and looked at the little assistant. He laughed lightly and teased.

Tori took the suit, hung it on the hanger, and said gruffly: "After all, it costs millions of dollars, of course you have to choose carefully, and you can't buy one you don't like. However, we can move out of the hotel today. I bought it, here is the album, you can see if you like it."

Speaking of Tori, he opened the picture album of the villa to Andy, put it on the table and introduced it to him page by page.

"Okay, it's not bad, that's it, let's move in today, you go to the hotel to deal with it, by the way, I see that there are no sandbags in the fitness room in the picture book, you can take someone to buy some equipment by the way, I have to wait Stay in San Francisco for a few days, and we will return to Los Angeles on the 23rd."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

"By the way, how much did it cost?"

"8.2 million..."

"Huh, it's so cheap?" Andy looked at the picture album on the table again in surprise. This mansion occupies a large area.

"The market is like this now. No one is buying houses at all. Everyone is selling them out. Some are cheap, but I don't like them." The little assistant replied with a smile.

"Well, then you can do it." After Andy nodded, he took a folder, opened it and began to look at the files.

The little assistant didn't disturb Andy's work. In recent days, the international crude oil price once again broke through $100, which once caused a sharp drop in global stock markets. The big devil is taking this opportunity to spend a lot of money to boost the presence of Tesla's electric cars.

This round of oil price "big bull market" began in 2004, and it has soared from more than 30 US dollars per barrel at that time, and the increase has more than tripled in the past three years.

The conclusion given to Andy by the think tank is that, measured by the increase in oil prices of the three previous oil crises, this round of oil price increases has constituted a new oil crisis, which is also one of the important reasons why the US economy has fallen into recession and the global economy has slowed down. one.

Oil crisis, energy crisis. . . This is simply a god-sent opportunity for publicity and marketing. Only when people are in a crisis, people will pay attention to renewable energy, environmentally friendly energy, and the replacement of petroleum.

Andy has been nesting in Tesla for the past two days. He will hold a meeting every day to brainstorm marketing plans and publicity methods, conduct brainstorming to find new ideas, and then immediately choose to implement them.

Andy even called David Letterman to invite him to bring his talk show team to Tesla to record a show. For Andy, who rarely appears on TV shows, this is undoubtedly tantamount to going shirtless.

When David Letterman, an old hooligan, heard Andy's invitation, he was surprised that such a good thing happened to him, so he led his people to San Francisco without saying a word.

Under the influence of geopolitics, major oil-producing countries have repeatedly refused to increase production. It is expected that oil prices will remain at a high level between US$80 and US$100 per barrel during Xiao Feixie’s tenure, which will make it difficult for the US and global economies to digest the background Next, a big Tesla show led by Andy kicked off.

Of course, Andy is not the Musk who steals other people's achievements, is short of funds, cannot see the future progress of electric vehicles, and needs the media to cheer him up when he is in a dilemma. The tense appearance of pouring cold water.

Andy's calm and confident smile and no shyness about difficulties, but his infinite confidence in Tesla's future and his expression of saving the world left a deep impression on everyone.

"If you take my word for it, in the next few years, conventional gas-powered sedans will be old wagons . . . "

"Ha ha--"

After a few laughs, the host, Letterman, went into a fiery accusation of how Detroit failed to produce electric cars and collapsed the nation's economy, while pointing out that the Volt only has a range of 40 miles on a single charge. . .

After exaggerating, Andy deliberately let the company rush to produce the S-type electric car that finally appeared. In order to arouse the emotions of the audience, when Andy announced that the cost of this car was only 60,000 US dollars, he was greeted by a large crowd. The applause of the "live audience" continued: "We are calling and promoting the federal government to subsidize electric vehicles, so mass-produced models will be cheaper..."

When Letterman, the old hooligan, was very cooperative and sat in the car like a show, Andy on the side didn't forget to brag, although he said in a draft: "One thing worth mentioning is that after recharging, the gallon At 45 cents on gasoline, the actual cost of the Model S electric car is only $35,000." After doing the calculations, he preached: "So would you buy this car, or a Ford Taurus?"

As soon as Andy finished speaking, Letterman grabbed the steering wheel and started shaking it back and forth and screaming, pretending to be shocked. Andy grinned meaningfully. At the end of the show, there are all kinds of fancy control of an electric sports car, and the final picture falls on a row of mass-produced electric sports cars, and the whole talk show ends.

The show was undoubtedly a success, because in the following time, there were a lot of telephone and email consultations, especially the S-type electric car, which became a new star model.

The power shown by the electric sports car Roadster at the end of the show is so powerful, which is enough to prove that electric vehicles are not only competitive but also have excellent performance, which makes many people visit Tesla in person and ask for a test drive. Tesla and Andy received some criticism, but after the show was broadcast, the biggest effect was that orders increased again.

And those first order customers who complained a lot because of the price increase have now changed their previous complaints, and are more worried about whether Tesla will deliver the cars to them in the order of order time.

Andy personally recorded a video on Tesla's official website and made a guarantee and promise, which dispelled some people's doubts and worries.

In a word, what Andy has been doing in the past few days in San Francisco is how to blow up the Tesla balloon, and he is not disappointed. How will Tesla go from its headquarters in Silicon Valley to Saving Detroit has become the focus of discussion among the American people.

As for the condemnation and rebuttals of General Motors and Ford, who are vomiting blood, Andy is not stingy with his poisonous snakes, and slaps and replies with all kinds of ridicule.

"You need a spatula to make the shape of the car as smooth as our Model S..."

"You guys are too compact, and our Model S can fit a surfboard, a 50-inch TV, and a mountain bike at the same time."

"Our electric car can travel more than 200 miles on a single charge and go from zero to 60 mph in 4 seconds, can you guys?"
