American Fortune Life

Tesla's main entrance is located at 3500 Deer Creek Road, Del Creek, California. Standard American-inspired headquarters with no high-rise buildings, truly “far from the hustle and bustle of the city" suburb of Kabun Factory, next to a high-end bright building is a direct store in Tesla and a delivery center, as well as a Tesla maintenance service center not far away.

Andy's convoy stopped in turn, and the bodyguard quickly got off the door, slimming in a black suit, Andy smiled and stepped out, watching a group of shareholders and Tesla executives across the street greeted him.

“Hello, Mr. Musk. Nice to meet you.” Andy smiled and shook each other's hand, which was also the first time they met. To be honest, Andy had no feelings for the real Iron Man. He was just a typical businessman.

“Hello, Mr. Smith, nice to meet you, let me introduce you... ”

Andy shook hands with a calm smile on his face and unfamiliar and familiar Tesla shareholders.

“Larry, I didn't expect you to come, but it surprised me...” Andy was somewhat surprised and surprised to shake Larry Peggy's hand.

“Oh, Sergei was supposed to come too, but, you know, he was busier than me and I had to represent him to welcome you. ”

Andy nodded, these guys were all privately funded Tesla electric cars, to be honest, more about the future of clean and environmentally friendly energy, no one wanted to invest in water drifting, can't pay wages, there was a problem with the chain of funds, and Tesla electric car companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy could be taken over, which was undoubtedly their best bet.

“Mr. Smith, I'd like you to take a look at Tesla and the production plants, and I'm sure you'll be happy to do the business afterwards.” Musk said somewhat arrogantly, as if he had suffered so much and the expression on his face had become more and more rigid.

Larry Page and several other shareholders, such as eBay Jeff Skoll, looked at Andy with a smile, and to be honest, Andy, the $200 million acquisition price, was really low, but for a bankrupt automotive company, someone took over and burned it.

“Well, let's go, I can't wait to see Tesla's progress, and you may not know that I'm also very interested in industrial design, and I even designed a car myself, hoping that Tesla engineers will be able to make it in the future.

Elon, didn't Donnie talk to you about Iron Man's shooting? I designed all the iron suits in there. When the movie comes out, you'll see the super cool effect. Believe me, you'll love it... ”

Watching Andy Smith talk about the tremendous interest shown by industrial design stunned a group of Tesla shareholders and executives slightly, while Musk's otherwise rigid expression changed slightly, and it seemed that this young genius billionaire acquired Tesla more than just a simple investment.

A huge tour of the Tesla factory began to the right with a huge TESLA logo first visible through the direct stores and directly into the factory.

Once out of the warehouse aisle is the main entrance to the Tesla factory, with some executive message quotes, model images on the left side of the entrance and Tesla models on the right.

The whole body is a black lotus car concept, the first “AeroBuck," designed for aerodynamic optimization, and the first Tesla electric sports car, the Roadster.

This “Mule2” is a fully hand assembled 2nd edition prototype Tesla and is closer to Roadster. I hear the Iron Man crew has taken it into the movies, and it's going to be in Stark's garage.

Andy stood in front of the car and, to be honest, the Roadster based on the shape of the Lotus sports car was unsuccessful. Due to the elegance of the electric car and its high price, the model only produced 2,500 units and left the market.

“If I recall correctly, the original price of this mass production vehicle was $98,000, right?” Andy slid his fingers gently across the roof with a charming smile on his face, but these words definitely made Tesla's face slightly stiff, including Musk's and all the executives' faces. What typical pot doesn't mention which pot, specially hit his face?

“Sorry, although I don't know the process and raw material price of this car, I guess the cost of this car is well over $100,000? ”

“Cough...” Musk's face is a little ugly with a few slight coughs, an awkward nod, “costed, about $120,000, far higher than the original cost estimate of $70,000. ”

“Oh, so far 1,200 cars booked, right? Tsk, this is a huge loss. Can't you raise the price temporarily to 120,000? I'm afraid the booking client will dismantle the delivery center... ”

The smile on Andy's face never disappeared, but what he said sounded unusually harsh to everyone, and a few people laughed at each other, and this one was a snake.

The walkers went on with their minds and came to a spacious and clean assembly factory. The robot arms on a considerable scale were quite spectacular and very frightening.

According to the engineer, Andy understands the similarities to most cars, and Tesla's main production process consists of four parts, stamping each component, connecting each component into a body, body painting, and mounting other components to the body, including the fabrication of motors and battery components.

Andy understood that Tesla was taking his own manufacturing methods to build cars. And Tesla did a lot of things herself, while other automotive companies moved to suppliers. Including the production of its own car seat, on-site assembly of battery packs, that is, with the demand for production capacity, the current team of engineers of 160 people is simply not enough, even hundreds of people are not enough, apart from the body and many decorations are not produced on traditional production lines and need to be built separately.

Okay, no wonder the car costs so much.

Andy looked up at the corner of Musk's mouth slightly, as if everything here made him proud, even though the pot was no longer open, but everything here was very valuable to him.

Andy turned around and looked at Musk and the people around him and said, “If I remember correctly, Tesla should be a tech company, not a manufacturing company, right? If you're going to be a car manufacturer, you're going to have to spend billions of dollars building new factories... ”

Alvitelli's eyes were filled with laughter. He looked at Tesla's shareholders and management with some embarrassing expressions. He almost laughed. He knew more than anyone that his big BOSS could throw up a trough to kill people, which was particularly weird.

Now, it doesn't work, it's covered in blood by big BOSS, and of course, everyone knows that Tesla's real core technology is motors and batteries.

Musk and the shareholders were also a little confused and wanted to make this buyer feel superior, but listening to Andy's questions, everyone felt that Tesla had become a big pit.

Musk, with some interest, led the crowd into a spacious and bright conference room, where both sides sat side by side in line with the camp.

These millionaires, including Larry Peggy, looked at Andy's side of the table with a little surprise, and Andy Smith, the big boss, actually sat on the side, on the center seat of Alvitre, always on both sides of the Tesla negotiator's side, and Andy sat in the corner on the right, looking like you were talking, I just watched, not talking.

A group of Tesla executives interact with each other's eyes and, as legendary as it is, it is most pleasant to be a professional manager under this young billionaire, who is able to demonstrate his talents without having to be a voice worm.
