Top of the big era

The next morning, Zhou Buqi was still lying in bed with the gentle and delicate Hanyalan in his arms.

Sun Wanran knocked on the door and ran over, "There is important news!"

Zhou Buqi then raised his head from Hanyalan's arms, "What's the matter?"

Sun Wanran said: "Grandpa said that Old Qiao has sent good news and asked you to prepare and visit his home."

The so-called good news must be the national policy on the electric vehicle industry.

Even if Zhou Buqi is the world's richest man, he cannot participate in such a major event. If he is not a party member, he cannot participate in the core decision-making. At most, he only has some suggestion rights. FAW's number one CEO, Mr. Qiao, is different. He is a big shot in the automotive industry and a person qualified to participate in major decisions in the automotive industry.

It seemed that Zhou Buqi's opinion was intentionally adopted.

In fact, even if he does not participate in this kind of thing, the general trend of the times will push forward.

There is really no competitiveness in the field of fuel vehicles in China. It is an Adou who cannot support the wall. If you want to transform from a big manufacturing country to a strong manufacturing country, you can only change the track and compete in the field of new energy vehicles. .

This track is still in the early stages of the industry, and there are not so many industry barriers.

Same goes for Tesla.

Even without Zhou Buqi's involvement, Musk would half-actively and half-forced open up most of Tesla's patents to promote the development of the industry and compete with traditional gasoline vehicles through the growth of the new energy vehicle industry.

It's different now.

Zhou Buqi became a promoter of the times, not only promoting the opening of Tesla's patents, but also promoting the transformation of national policies.

This is to step on the general trend of the times and create a great halo for yourself.

Only this level of planning can highlight his status and style as the world's richest man. This is even more meaningful than donating precious cultural relics worth more than 10 billion US dollars to Shanghai Bo.

If he just makes money and donates money, it really won't show his extraordinary talents.

There are so many people who can make money and donate.

Besides Zhou Buqi, who else can lay out such a big game of national policy?

Zhou Buqi was reluctant, and said lazily: "If there is anything to go to, this morning, I should hug the beauty and make love with her, Yalan, don't you think so?"

Hanyalan's face turned red and she whispered, "Men should still put their career first."

"I love the country more than I love beauty!"

Zhou Buqi waved to Sun Wanran.

He wasn't worried about it at all.

It's a done deal.

Nothing to visit.

Although Mr. Qiao has been an old friend of the old man for many years, his ideas are really not up to date, and he is still the same old...it is not troublesome to tell him about new energy, open source protocols, electric vehicles, carbon neutrality, etc. If you have such leisure, you might as well enjoy a beautiful life with a beautiful woman in your arms.

"Didn't you have enough fun last night? You can't play with women all day long, right? You're not tired." Sun Wanran rolled her eyes at him, "Hurry up, grandpa is already dressed and waiting for you."

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to crawl out of Wenrou Township.

Wash and dress.

Go to the kitchen and have some breakfast.

Grandpa is already dressed and waiting there. The old man also felt sorry for his grandson. Zhou Buqi originally said he would not have breakfast, but he refused to agree to anything and asked him to take a few bites.

Zhou Buqi was having breakfast here, and the old man asked next to him: "How are the arrangements for the Tesla patent you mentioned? Do the Americans really agree to open it up?"

"Roughly the same."

"almost?"

"I haven't asked yet!"

"What?" The old man was a little angry. If he had let go of his previous temper, he would have hit him with this crutch. He blew his beard and glared, "You are so proud of such a big matter? Do you know that for your sake? "How many industry experts have been in meetings for two or three days?"

Zhou Buqi said nonchalantly: "To them, it is indeed a big deal, but to me, it is just a trivial matter."

"Be serious!"

The old man was very dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude. He chatted with Lao Qiao for several hours about this matter. Even the top management paid great attention to it and held seven or eight meetings in a row. However, this kid was busy day by day. Got carried away.

Zhou Buqi had no choice but to tell Sun Wanran who was sitting next to him, "Call Musk!"

He has participated in everything, gained fame and aura, and that is almost enough.

After all, there was no him in the previous life, and times have also developed in this direction.

Having him in this life has only made this path more determined, made all parties more confident, and made it faster.

But this is a national strategy after all.

It is also necessary to be serious and adopt a cautious, serious and meticulous attitude.

Soon, the call was dialed.

Zhou Buqi got straight to the point and asked: "Elon, how is the open source of Tesla patents I told you about?"

Musk smiled and said: "It's advancing."

Zhou Buqi asked: "How far has it advanced?"

Musk said: "We are counting, and some coordination is needed. Many of our patents have been mortgaged, and this requires communication with the employer."

The United States is a financial society, and anything can be pledged as collateral for a loan.

Once the mortgaged patents are open sourced, their value will be greatly reduced, and the lender may increase the interest or recover some arrears.

Zhou Buqi said lightly: "It's not easy, it's all redeemed!"

Musk said: "Well, I also have this plan. Let's coordinate with them first. After Tesla is privatized and delisted, we will take back these patents, so that open source will become more enforceable. "

Zhou Buqi said: "Hurry up and open source it. Once it is open sourced, others won't have to steal it."

Musk laughed and said, "That makes sense."

Tesla is a small company.

Not counting the workers in the factory, there are only a few hundred people.

Those major automobile manufacturers are different. They all have hundreds of thousands or millions of people. Each automobile giant maintains a patent department with thousands of people. This department is dedicated to dismantling competitors' products, and then analyzing the technologies they use to determine whether they infringe on their own patents. Once discovered, you will make a fortune and rush to file a patent lawsuit. Without hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation, it is impossible to reach an out-of-court settlement.

Tesla is different, there is no such department at all.

Even if a competitor infringes the copyright, there is nothing you can do.

Therefore, other manufacturers who use Tesla's patents in electric vehicles can ignore Tesla unscrupulously, and even ridicule Tesla's lack of technology in making electric vehicles. There are only a few hundred patents in total... like this A major automobile manufacturer has tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of patents.

This is very similar to the logic of Internet companies.

The Internet industry is a copycat of the world's technology, and of course this is illegal... But no one cares, because no one cares about the little money they can win by filing patent lawsuits to protect their own interests. If you have the manpower, material and financial resources to fight patent lawsuits, if you just find a good project and invest in it, you will get dozens of times the return.

Who is going to file a patent lawsuit?

It’s not enough trouble!

Copy it if you like!

You don’t even need to copy it at all. I have directly open sourced it and licensed it to you for free, so you don’t have to bother to steal it. In the Internet age, even Steve Jobs no longer defends his rights. He just curses people verbally and has no time to deal with those who steal his things.

Musk is an entrepreneur with an Internet background.

Whether they are building Tesla or rockets, they all use Internet ideas. They simply disdain the traditional way of playing and have no time to deal with it.

Since we can't keep our patent, we simply let it go.

All are open source.

Whoever wants to use it can use it.

Zhou Buqi obviously had the same idea and said: "Yes, that's how it should be! Making money by selling patents is pinching the neck of all mankind and collecting breathing taxes. This is the plunder of all mankind by capitalists. We are all doing this It’s a big deal, there’s no need to do this, open source now! Business is big business from the perspective of all mankind!”

Musk smiled and said: "According to statistics, except for the newly developed core technologies, the remaining 99% will be released. As you said, cultivate this industry! Rely on the power of Tesla alone , may not be able to shake the power of traditional fuel vehicles, and more electric vehicle manufacturers need to join in and work together.”

Zhou Buqi urged: "As soon as possible! One month, I'll give you one month!"

Musk didn't know that he was planning a national-level strategy in China. He thought he was thinking about Tesla. He suddenly realized, "Tesla will be officially delisted within a month?"

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "Yes, within a month, Tesla announced its delisting and paid the money for delivery. After delisting, all the patents were made public, so that the whole world could see Tesla's pattern and sentiments! We It’s different from those traditional car companies!”
