Unparalleled True Technology

Moritz does not believe that Tesla's technical problems have been solved. He came here only because of the professional report given by the analysis team led by the chief analyst.

He is an investment genius, but whether he invests in Google or Yahoo, it is all related to the reports of those professional analysts. It is precisely because of this that he does not believe that Wen Ming alone can solve the problems that Tesla has not been able to solve in the past few years.

"Mr. Moritz, what do you think of Microsoft's WP system? Or, how about Nokia 2010 launched by Nokia this time?"

In the test track inside the Tesla headquarters, Zev, who was extremely excited, was arranging the test drive, while Wen Ming and Moritz began to "chat" next to him.

Moritz looked at the new car in the test track, which was no different from the convertible sports car launched by Tesla before, and asked with some surprise: "As someone who redefines mobile phones, why do you want to consult me, a non-professional? What about opinions?"

Moritz's surprise was not about Wen Ming's question at all, but about the new car.

Wen Ming also understood this, because the new car really didn't change in any way from the appearance.

"I believe that any professional in the mobile phone industry is inferior to you in understanding the future prospects of the mobile phone industry, and what kind of mobile phones users need."

The fundamental principle of the investment industry is to buy low and sell high. But everyone in the world understands this truth, but whether it is in the stock market or in the capital market, there is not one ten-thousandth of people who can succeed.

As a partner of Sequoia Capital, Moritz can be said to control almost all investment directions of Sequoia Capital after the founder of Sequoia Capital retreated behind the scenes. For such a person, how can a brand new mobile phone system, a new flagship model, not have an in-depth understanding?

Even if they don't want to invest in Nokia, they can study the market potential of the WP system, and then look for cheap mobile phone manufacturers that can use the WP system.

After smiling, Moritz asked, "Are you worried about Microsoft? As far as I know, Bill Gates is preparing to take a stake in your Apple company."

Wen Ming was speechless for a while, Moritz didn't follow the routine at all. Normally, shouldn't he help Wen Ming analyze the future of Nokia and the future of the WP mobile operating system?

In fact, this is really too simple for Wen Ming. He thinks that Moritz wants to take a stake in Tesla, so he needs to support him now. Sequoia Capital's analysis report on the WP system should be directly shared with him.

However, when there was no sign of investing in Tesla, how could someone like Moritz share any information with him?

This is also how Moritz puts pressure on Wen Ming. No matter how high Apple's revenue and net profit margin are, it will lack real professionals because of its shallow foundation. Rome was not built in a day, and a commercial empire cannot be completed in a year.

Founded in the last century, Sequoia Capital has not only accumulated countless wealth and contacts, but also has a talent pool that all companies will envy.

"Yes, he does want to take a stake in Apple."

Wen Ming couldn't ask, and he didn't plan to ask again. He believed that Moritz would definitely change his attitude towards him after the new car test was over. Just like Teresa Roy at the beginning, no one can ignore Wen Ming in the face of technology that can create benefits.

"However, that is entirely his personal behavior and has nothing to do with Microsoft."

Moritz laughed and asked, "It's like you bought Tesla. Is it your private behavior and has nothing to do with Apple?"

Wen Ming scolded the old fried dough stick in his heart, and then saw Zev running over.

"The test can begin."

Wen Ming nodded, and after a gesture with Moritz,

The two sides began to watch those test data next to the monitoring platform.

Due to the limitation of the venue, it was of course impossible to let the convertible sports car run happily. Therefore, there are only a few simple test items.

"The first item is 100-kilometer acceleration. Our runway is 300 meters in a straight line, which is completely enough to test its 100-kilometer acceleration."

(ps: Foreigners generally use 0 to 60 miles.)

Zef introduced next to him: "Before, our car accelerated from 100 kilometers to 3.7 seconds, which can be said to have created a record for a pure electric sports car."

Rich people in Silicon Valley have a special obsession with sports cars. Unlike rich people in other places who reach a certain age, they only like Bentleys or Rolls-Royces. Many of them still like supercars after they are 60 years old.

Moritz is naturally one of them, perhaps because the investment industry pursues emerging industries, so he also knew something about Tesla, a new sports car, before.

"3.7 seconds has exceeded the imagination of many people."

Moritz flattered, saying, "It's only 0.7 seconds slower than my Ferrari."

This kind of flattery made Zev do not know how to respond. It stands to reason that Tesla should feel honored to compare a world-renowned supercar brand like Ferrari with a newborn Tesla. But is this really a good comparison? Especially in front of Tesla bosses.

Wen Ming didn't answer, but said directly to Zev: "Let's get started."

Zev nodded and gave orders to the testers beside him. After a roar of air waves different from supercars, it turned into a red lightning bolt and rushed to the end of the straight runway.

To be honest, the difference between 3.7 seconds and 3 seconds is really difficult to tell with the naked eye without comparison.

Moritz wasn't shocked because he was in the car when he enjoyed the Ferrari's 3-second sprint to 100 km/h.

But after running for four seconds, it started to slow down. At this time, the testers next to them cheered wildly, and they shouted a time emotionally.

2.7 seconds!

Moritz raised his brows. As an investor who wanted to invest in Tesla, he certainly did not believe that Tesla dared to deceive him on this issue, but this amazing acceleration time of 100 kilometers still made him unable to bear it. He looked at the screen next to him.

Test results - 2.7 seconds.

"This is really... amazing."

Moritz finally put away his calmness, because he knew what this number represented.

Among the mass-produced supercars in the world, there are only 10 models that can accelerate from 100 kilometers to less than 3 seconds. Among these 10 models, the only one that can exceed 2.7 seconds is the 2.5 seconds of Bugatti Veyron.

Neither Ferrari, McLaren, nor Koenigsegg can surpass Tesla's data. In the final analysis, it is not a technical problem, but the platform gap between fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles.

Wen Ming didn't feel too surprised, because in another world, Tesla launched a sports car that can accelerate to 100 kilometers in 2.7 seconds, and the top model can accelerate to 100 kilometers in 2.7 seconds. As for The acceleration to 100 kilometers of other configurations is generally around 4 seconds.

After all, he still didn't come up with the real black technology, not because he couldn't come up with it, but because it was enough.

After Moritz was amazed, Wen Ming said: "Test the cruising range."

Zev got busy, and Wen Ming said to Moritz: "This is just a product of our laboratory. If we add some configurations, it can be faster. However, that doesn't make much sense."

Moritz was even more shocked and asked, "You mean, this 2.7 seconds can be mass-produced?"
