Rebirth of the 92 Business Tycoon

ps: Starting from tomorrow, I will add 5 more changes to the book friend the God of Autumn, thank him for his silent support for me!

I was in a good mood and my appetite was naturally widened. The previous conversations were very mental and physical. Therefore, in the restaurant, before the appetizer came, the three of them quickly ate the two boxes of buns. Clean.

Fortunately, this is a high-end restaurant. Otherwise, the three of them will really make people think about it. Since the three of them don’t wear any high-end clothes today, it’s hard to see two of them simply from their appearance. Bit is actually a billionaire.

Seeing Musk's appearance, it seems that he is going to continue with the topic just now, can you let me catch my breath? How easy did I have just a few hours of long talk?

Moreover, the intention of cooperation has been reached, and then there will be some very serious topics, such as investment shares, division of labor, etc. Such topics are not easy to discuss at the table.

"Have you two been to China?"

"Unfortunately, no," both of them shook their heads, looking a little embarrassed.

"Then, should I have eaten Chinese food?"

"I have eaten it, I like fish-flavored shredded pork," Straw said a dish in very strange Chinese to prove it.

"I like spicy chicken, and Mapo tofu," Musk seemed to bite his teeth, and finally reported two dishes in Chinese.

Thanks to the three things they said, they are the ones that foreigners like best. Otherwise, Feng Yiping would really have to work hard to guess what they were talking about.

In terms of eating preferences, you can also see the personality of the person. It seems that according to Grandpa Mao, not eating chili is not revolutionary. Musk likes to eat these two dishes. No wonder he has done so many pioneering things.

"The fast-food Chinese food you eat, strictly speaking, is just localized Chinese-style fast food. It is really not Chinese food. I welcome two people who have time to visit China. Chinese food is really as extensive and profound as Chinese culture."

"Moreover, many Chinese food genres emphasized naturalness hundreds of thousands of years ago. Now, the trend of vegetarianism led by Hollywood stars has a tradition of thousands of years in our country."

He is not a nonsense, since the devout Buddhists began to be vegetarian, it was from the time of Emperor Liang Wu in the Liang Kingdom in the Southern Dynasties. This is nearly 1500 years old.

To say that there is more heritage and recorded history, we really have no rivals in the world. Musk from South Africa and Straw, an authentic American, were surprised to hear what Feng Yiping said, 1500 years ago?

"It's a pity that I have only been to Australia," Musk said. "I have time, I really want to experience it."

Feng Yiping also knew about his trip to Australia. It was his honeymoon with his current wife, Justin, and stopped by to watch the Olympics. Then, he was relieved of PayPal by his partner.

"I also hope that you can thoroughly investigate China's huge market potential and efficient productivity," Feng Yiping said.

No way, to the point of him, it seems difficult to have a serious small talk, and small talk is just for the sake of talking business.

"We should focus on a market of more than one billion people," Musk said.

There is no need to distinguish, Feng Yiping knows that he said this, it must be just polite, this can be seen from the layout of Tesla later.

When Tesla launched the S-series sports car, China was already the second largest economy in the world. At that time, Tesla also just said that it attached importance to it, not to mention the present at the beginning of the century.

"With the continuous deepening of my country’s reform and opening up, more and more families in my country have actual purchasing power and wealth of more than one million US dollars, and highways and other infrastructure are becoming more and more perfect. Therefore, China’s auto market has prosperity,"

“I’ll just talk about a set of simple figures. In 2000, my country’s automobile production and sales, but both exceeded 2 million, but according to the statistics of our car network, by the end of this year, this data will definitely exceed 4 million, close to 5 million. Doubled in three years. Taking into account other factors, it is conservatively estimated that by the time my country hosts the Olympic Games in 2008, this number should be very close to 10 million!"

Sure enough, the numbers are still the most convincing. Before, if the two of them were perfunctory, now they really pay a little attention.

"Moreover, because of tariffs and other reasons, in our country, the price of some high-end cars, you may not imagine, at least three times the price of the same period abroad, for example, Mercedes-Benz entry-level C-class cars in my country If the price is converted into U.S. dollars, here, you can definitely buy a low-end S-Class."

This is the first time Musk and Straw heard of such a thing.

"In 2000, my dad bought a Buick Century. If the transaction price was converted into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at that time, it would have exceeded $50,000."

"As for Mercedes-Benz's S series and BMW's 7 series, the price in China, if converted into U.S. dollars, is more than $200,000. However, such cars can be seen everywhere in China, so don't worry. The spending power of Chinese consumers in automobiles,"

"Buick with more than 50,000 dollars, S series with more than 200,000 dollars?" Straw felt it sounded like a fantasy.

"It seems that this situation will continue for a long time. Therefore, I want to focus on the Chinese market from the beginning. The best thing is that we can start production in China. This is why I I also hope that the two can also inspect the quality and productivity of Chinese workers."

"If in the United States, we can produce 1,000 complete vehicles a month, then in China, because of workers' wages, and the overall production cost is lower, at least 2,000 complete vehicles a month can be produced."

This is Feng Yiping's conservative estimate.

Tesla has been losing money for many years, which is also related to its limited annual production capacity.

Feng Yiping does not want Tesla, which he leads, to fall into a vicious circle where the stock price has been soaring but the entity has been losing money.

When Tesla S was first launched, how hot was it in China? If it can supply in time and solve the charging problem, then Tesla's development may be completely different.

Therefore, from the perspective of personal interests, Feng Yiping decided from the beginning that it must be put into production in China in the future.

In addition, there are of course other factors in his decision. Although it is impossible for Tesla to be born in China, he still hopes that Tesla, which is based on himself, can drive the overall development of the domestic electric vehicle industry. As for later, everyone is clamoring to overtake in the electric vehicle field, but in this field, they are also catching up.

"If it is really as you said, then such a plan is completely reasonable,"

How can they refuse to obtain high production capacity at low cost?

"Listening to you, I hope to visit China as soon as possible," Musk said.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping was very pleased to hear his statement. This is his long-standing plan. Even if other partners disagree, he still has to do that Musk agrees in principle now.

"I welcome you first," Feng Yiping said with a smile while raising his glass.

Because he was represented too many times by various people, Feng Yiping pays attention to this issue now. He did not say anything like "I welcome you on behalf of the hospitable Chinese people".

"Feng, you are currently running in China and the United States, and you have a lot of work on both sides. I also want to focus on SpaceX now. Then, who will be responsible for this company in the future?" Musk still raised this question~www.wuxiaspot .com~ If you can serve as our CTO, I think this is our honor," Feng Yiping said to Straw, holding up the glass.

Originally, he didn't know anything about this person. In the past two days, he also collected a lot of his information, only to realize that this guy who he thought was a soy sauce party turned out to be an authentic cow.

This guy who just passed this year was born in a family of machinery in the United States. His great-grandfather's generation established Straubel Machinery Company in the 1890s to produce the first batch of ships for the American shipbuilding industry. internal combustion engine.

Affected by the concept of "Do it yourself" inherited from the family, Straw was already a crazy geek when he was a teenager, and started his own various attempts.

While studying at Stanford University, he successfully converted a dilapidated Porsche into an electric car through his own development of software, production of control systems and charging equipment.

He also took the car to Oregon to compete. Although the cruising range was only about 30 kilometers, his car broke the world record and became the fastest electric car in the world at the time. It accelerated to 17.28 seconds. 79.14 miles per hour.

ACP's Allen is not coming, and Straw can be said to be the most suitable candidate for the technical director.

"No, I'm honored," Straw raised his glass to clink with them.

"Cheers," Musk said happily, and he also thought that Straw was the most suitable person for this position.

Feng Yiping didn't know that this Straubel was the CTO of Tesla later, the Tesla hero hidden behind Musk, and the most inseparable technical partner of Musk.

"As for the CEO, I also have a suitable candidate for the time being. If nothing happens, he should contact me soon," Feng Yiping said. (To be continued.)
