Top of the big era

The next day, Zhou Buqi went to South Korea. He was followed by many secretaries, including Ning Lu, Yan Qiqi, Mai Feixue, Zhao Li Muge, Zhang Zetian, and Han Yalan, as well as Yang Mi and Di. Lireya, Jiang Bingjie and Li Xinwan are some small stars.

After all, she just took a concubine, which is considered a newlywed.

Taking Yang Mi on a tour can be considered a honeymoon.

In addition, there are Wang Yanan and her daughter Wang Yihuan, who came to South Korea for shopping.

As well as Xu Baihui, and her sister Xu Yuting.

For Xu Yuting, it was an eye-opener. She truly understood why Mr. Zhou needed to replenish his body. Each one of them... Looking at it, it was dazzling.

How much is this?

Those who are not good at counting cannot count!

This Yingying Yanyan's body can't bear it even if it's made of iron!

Before that, she thought Mr. Zhou was a bit ridiculous, for a grown man to drink milk like a baby. It’s okay to drink milk. There are plenty of cow’s milk, goat’s milk, and camel’s milk in the market, but how can there be anything like him? Can you do whatever you want if you have money?

Looking at it now, she finally understood.

It's really not ridiculous at all.

It should!

Those processed, watered, and packaged milk, goat milk, etc. have been diluted many times in nutritional value.

It doesn’t necessarily work!

I really have to take the field myself to make up for it.

"Hey, man, you have to make up for it!"

This was the first time Xu Yuting went on a business trip with Mr. Zhou, and it was also the first time she took a private plane. Everything was very curious to her... She was not familiar with others, so she sat next to Xu Baihui on the plane, very close to Mr. Zhou. Location.

The flight from the capital to Seoul is short, less than two hours.

But even if it was two hours, Zhou Buqi couldn't waste it. As soon as he got on the plane, he started a remote video conference and attended Tesla's board of directors.

Two directors did not agree with the delisting plan.

Musk didn't convince them.

Zhou Buqi spoke eloquently, "There will definitely be a war between electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles! With Tesla's current strength, it is simply no match for global fuel vehicle manufacturers. It must be delisted. We need to reorganize the company's organizational structure and rebuild the supply chain system to overcome the hurdle of increasing productivity."

There is a director named Hunter who is the main opponent, "If we delist now, it will cost a lot of money!"

Zhou Buqi said proudly: "I will solve the money problem!"

A board meeting lasted for half an hour.

Nine directors spoke one by one.

Zhou Buqi spoke the most times, reaching three times.

Then, everyone votes.

Six votes were in favor, two were against, and one abstained. The proportion of people who agreed to delisting exceeded the 66.7% required by the charter. The resolution was passed!

Tesla will launch delisting plan!

After the board meeting, Zhou Buqi had a private phone call with Musk.

Musk sighed, "Seriously, from a business perspective, we really need to delist! Tesla is now in big structural trouble."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Listed companies are like running naked. Without a strong psychological quality, they can't do anything. It doesn't matter if they are delisted, you can start to solve the supply chain problems."

Musk said: "It's not just a supply chain problem. There are currently two models, Model S and Model . However, the entire electric vehicle industry chain has not been established at all, and it is difficult to produce in large quantities. Within a few years, the new model Model E may not be launched."

He wants to build four core models for Tesla, named with the four letters "SEXY", namely Model S, Model E, Model X and Model Y.

However, the name Model E is a bit nondescript and not very pleasant.

So when naming it, I took a little trick and turned the letter "E" over and turned it into the number "3", which eventually became Model 3.

If you want to bring down the price of electric vehicles, the most important thing is to mass produce them.

The cost of a car mold is huge, and a special integrated die-casting machine tool and robot must be designed for the mold... This investment requires billions of dollars.

If a mold only produces tens of thousands of cars, then even if the car sells for US$100,000 or US$200,000, it will be sold at a loss.

It must be done in large quantities.

However, mass production requires large quantities of various spare parts... This is the biggest dilemma Tesla faces now, as production capacity cannot keep up with demand.

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "The most important thing in terms of production capacity and cost is the power battery."

Musk said: "Well, the battery is the core part."

Zhou Buqi said: "There is no need to always keep an eye on Panasonic. Japan's technology industry is now in decline... I heard that LG is also making power batteries and has cooperated with some car manufacturers. I am going to South Korea now. You might as well contact LG. LG has contacted me many times. This can also become a new option for Tesla. If Tesla wants to delist, you must take this opportunity to reconstruct the characteristics of Tesla. Tesla and even the supply chain system of the entire new energy vehicle industry.”

Musk pondered and said: "There doesn't seem to be much difference between Korean companies and Japanese companies. If you want to make a qualitative breakthrough in the supply chain... you really have to do what you said."

"Coming to China?"

Zhou Buqi had already mentioned this plan.

Musk took a deep breath, "Really, this is the only way! It's just like the smartphone industry. Mobile phones used to be so expensive, but in the past two years, your country's smartphone manufacturers have emerged, and they have suddenly changed the price of the entire smartphone industry." They have all been defeated. The most important thing is the upstream and downstream supply chain, as well as the large number of outstanding engineers and hard-working factory workers."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "You are right, the final solution for Tesla batteries really depends on our country's battery factories. I have also been paying attention to this industry recently and will invest in one or two companies that produce power batteries. "

Musk smiled and said: "So you are going to South Korea to inspect LG Chem?"

"Look at you, if Tesla needs it, I'll make a trip."

Zhou Buqi’s trip to South Korea was to discuss cooperation with SK Group about Hynix. However, LG Group is also an important chaebol in South Korea. LG has contacted him several times... Boss Zhou can't favor one over the other. Regardless of whether cooperation can be negotiated or not, it's good to go to LG and get closer. Is necessary.

If you can't be a friend, there's no need to lose face and become an enemy.

Musk said: "Then work hard. The things that are putting Tesla's stock price under the most serious pressure now are the spontaneous combustion incidents caused by batteries that are circulating on the Internet. Many consumers are worried about the quality of Panasonic batteries. Cooperating with LG Battery can at least bring confidence to consumers."

Zhou Buqi said in a deep voice: "I will go to the United States next week, and we will discuss it in detail then. Regarding Tesla's supply chain plan, we must be bold and do not break it or establish it. If we just follow the rules, with Tesla's power, it will not be possible at all. It is impossible to overturn the fuel vehicle market, the world's largest industrial industry. There must be some extraordinary strategies."

Musk said: "Okay, then... see you in New York. Let's go to Wall Street to find a few investors to work together on the delisting plan."

As soon as he got on the plane, Zhou Buqi started making phone calls.

By the time the work was over, it had been more than an hour.

It's summer again.

My mouth was parched, and a glass of water didn't quench my thirst at all. I just wanted a bottle of iced Coke. I turned around and saw Xu Baihui and her sister Xu Yuting next to me, and said casually: "Bring me a bottle of Coke."

At this time, Xu Yuting's eyes were shining with golden light.

This was the first time she saw Mr. Zhou at work, especially when he spoke in English the whole time. Although she couldn't understand what he was saying, she could feel his sonorous, powerful and uncompromising momentum.

It is indeed the style of a big boss!

Such a man, even if he has been emptied by a woman, is still very attractive.

However, Xu Yuting frowned slightly when she heard that he wanted to drink Coke.

Drinking Coke is not very good for a man’s health!

Your body has been hollowed out, why are you still drinking Coke?

Isn't this adding insult to injury?

In addition, Xu Baihui was by her side and whispered something into her ear, encouraging her. Xu Yuting took a deep breath, stood up, leaned over, and whispered in her ear: "Mr. Zhou, stop drinking Coke, right?" If you are not in good health, you should drink some of mine... or take supplements."

"ah?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly startled.

Xu Yuting whispered: "Isn't there a bedroom on the plane? Let's go inside. Drink less Coke. As long as I'm here, the most important thing is to take care of your body. In more than a month, my vacation will be over and I will go back to work. ”

"Uh..." Zhou Buqi hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, then seize the opportunity and make up for it as much as you can."
