American Fortune Life

In the afternoon, Andy met with the Daimler negotiating team, led by the Vice President, in the conference room.

In the broader context of increasingly depleted oil resources and environmental pollution, electric vehicles will enter a period of rapid development, but due to the high cost of electric vehicles, short battery cycle life and short driving range have been the main factors constraining the further large-scale promotion of electric vehicles.

Major car manufacturers around the world are grappling with the research of NEVs, but traditional automotive companies, although they have deposited years of experience in building cars, are also lacking in separation and cannot invest much energy in NEVs at all.

After attempting to manufacture electric vehicles, several companies ended up failing for various reasons. The large amount of money invested in the previous period hit the water drift, causing huge losses and causing some leapfrogging cars to retreat.

To be honest, in Daimler's eyes, Tesla's rechargeable pure electric cars are really nothing “fresh" after years of technological accumulation.

But with Tesla's 100-kilometer acceleration, the technology to keep driving at a mileage comparable to running, there's really no car company in the world that can do that.

It is well known that the core technology of electric vehicles is batteries, which Tesla itself does not produce, and the batteries used are supplied by pedestal panasonic manufacturers.

Unlike the current mainstream trend of electric vehicle batteries, Tesla is the only manufacturer that directly employs lithium-ion batteries of type 18650, which, although more sophisticated, high-power, high-energy density and consistency than lithium-ion batteries of iron phosphate, also have a lower safety coefficient, which is true fire, with poor thermal and electrical characteristics and relatively high costs.

What advantage does Tesla have in creating miracles in NEVs?

It's no secret anymore, Tesla has the world's finest battery management system.

That's also the biggest reason Daimler pinched its nose to admit it.

And Andy wanted to introduce traditional car manufacturers because he knew better than anyone what Tesla was doing. Tesla, which focuses on NEVs, while giving its products more technological colour, is also difficult to avoid because of its thin experience in building cars.

To be honest, Tesla's technical team focuses on electronics and electricians, so it's much less difficult to develop battery management systems than it is to develop batteries or chassis, and the biggest killer still solves the development bottlenecks of purely electric vehicles. Patented technologies such as battery and battery safety control systems and charging technology.

Andy knows better than anyone that if Tesla's business plan is to be realized, patented technology is the key to laying down his Tesla dominance in the world of electric cars.

Although Tesla has shown a high level of coldness and arrogance, in fact, both sides know that the negotiations have progressed to this point, and it is already concubinage and fitting.

However, due to cooperation, Andy never believed that Daimler would abandon its own development of electric cars in the future. With advances in technology, Europe and the United States, which have always had strict emission limits, would become more and more demanding, so that electric cars could be the solution for the future. How could a hegemonic car company like Daimler ever be subject to Tesla's battery and power technologies?

Think with your toes, when these Germans discover they can't get Tesla to share these technologies, they will definitely flip their faces and be held hostage forever, absolutely unacceptable by these Germans!

However, it is now the honeymoon that has just been signed, and the parties began a direct business play with each other at the press conference, once again making Tesla the focus of media attention the next day.

200 million dollar companies, in a year, the valuation grew tenfold, and when many people saw the news, they were incredibly open, and there was a feeling that the world was going crazy.

And, of course, there was a group of people who saw news repentance, and even more interesting, however angry, avoiding journalistic paparazzi harassing them to ask how to look at Mr. Elon Musk, whose Tesla valuation soared to $2 billion, who was named to the Times Weekly's Top Ten Worst Deals of 2008.

This list ranks first on Yahoo's rejection of the Microsoft takeover...

Of course, no matter how Musk broke the rage in his heart, the original investors called to inquire about the financing intentions, all this was just a small note on his way to success for Andy, who was bragged by the media as having a little bit of stone gold and a business genius who knows how to do business.

Andy is wearing a helmet right now, listening to the good news coming from his phone in the glorious California sun, and watching as he laughs at the busy work scenes of many mechanics and workers on the new headquarters site.

“Oh, that's it, Al, thanks for your hard work, and I'll be back in New York as soon as I can to officially sign the deal, before we let our people reside at NBC Global International and I'm sure GE will agree... ”

Andy's mouth rose and the smile on his face grew brighter, finally taking NBC Worldwide, and as soon as he returned to New York to complete the deal himself, he could announce to the world that his Andy Smith media empire had been established!

Meanwhile, Brian Roberts, CEO of Concaster, America's number one cable service provider, hung up his eyebrows.

General Electric and Gaia have negotiated and initialled an agreement, which also marks the end of Andy Smith's acquisition of NBC Global.

Although the acquisition of NBC Worldwide by Andy Smith is no longer a secret, the news of the completion of the acquisition continues to shake the entire media world.

Brian Roberts stepped out of his office and began to work out a crazy plan.

After receiving the news that General Electric had initialled the deal, he called Disney CEO Michael Eisner and offered him a friendly proposal to merge Concaster with Disney, which Michael Eisner categorically refused.

In addition to the brief stagnation brought about by the economic downturn following 9/11, the media industry has been undergoing a steady merger in recent years, but the merger deal has reached its peak over the past few months, thanks to the advent of Andy Smith.

Today's global financial storm has devastated the media industry as well, and now the media industry cannot afford to be overwhelmed by its ability to communicate simply because it has a richer programme content than other companies.

Brian Roberts' eyes turned sharp and firm and quickly walked to the chairman's office.

“Father, I want to try to acquire Disney again for $54 billion! ”

Concaster founder and chairman Ralph Roberts looked at his son with some surprise. After all, he was never in the company with a working relationship. This was the first time he had called his father directly in the company. It seemed that the media's bragging about Andy Smith was still very exciting for his son, whose eyes were above the top.

“Malicious takeover?” Ralph shrugged and frowned, looking at his son with a firm face, shook his head and said, "Disney will never let us get it.

Better put the target on Viacom and CBS!

Sumnaredstone's media empire was hit hard by the financial turmoil, and its National Entertainment Corporation debt had reached $1.6 billion, forcing him to sell his Viacom and CBS shares at a cheap price of $233 million.

I've already bought this part of the stock, all you have to do is keep buying the rest of the stock, don't worry, slowly, Samna's health seems to be getting worse. He had been absent from the quarterly financial conference between Viacom and the Colombian Broadcasting Corporation, and I think he was selling stocks at such a low price to alleviate the financial crisis and, more importantly, to plan his legacy. ”

Brian Roberts looked a little red and opened his mouth to say something, but looking at his father's indifferent expression, he nodded helplessly and replied, “I see, Chairman, I'll take care of it... ”
