Chapter 1691: Empty Gloves White Wolf

“ This is Tesla's super factory blueprint, covering 13.6 million square feet, with wind turbines all over it, the plan for the world's largest solar roof array, fully realizing the use of all-green energy, which will become one of the world's largest physical building structures upon its complete completion, and will greatly enhance the capacity of Tesla electric vehicles.

The first superplant will be a manufacturing plant that does not use fossil fuels and relies entirely on electricity.

With the combination of a 70MW rooftop solar array and solar ground facilities, we will be using 100% sustainable energy.

The new rooftop solar array system, more than seven times the size of the largest solar array system in the world now in use... ”

Andy accompanied the Minister of O'Guanhai and New Energy on a very shocking tour of the whole robotic factory before opening a new conceptual carelessness model and looking at the conceptual diagram of the so-called Tesla superfactory under the introduction of Tesla executives.

“Have you chosen the construction site? ”

Ao Guanhai looked at the blueprints of the superfactory and glanced at them and asked them what they cared about most.

The previous tour really shocked Augustine, the car factory that no one has, it's all robotically efficient work scene, it's both shocking and makes people feel that the factory should be like this in the future.

“Because of the size of the land and the need for plenty of sunlight to meet the solar array, we are conducting a study tour of several states in the west with large areas of desert.” Andy used this super factory to fish, and when he saw the fish bite hook, he naturally cooperated and said what they wanted to hear.

“Is this super factory a car factory? ”

When asked by Augustine, Andy explained directly this time: "It is a 'super battery factory', an important lever for Tesla's future, and once built Tesla can significantly increase its battery capacity and improve the capacity problems Tesla is currently experiencing.

However, its total cost may be as high as $5 billion, providing Tesla with 500,000 battery capacity annually once built... ”

“When are you going to start this program?” After a glance at the Minister of Aoguan Hai and Energy, he asked Andy.

“We also want to start building it as soon as possible. After all, we have another breakthrough in battery technology, but we don't have enough money, we don't have enough!” Andy shook his head helplessly and said.

“Oh, come on, you're Andy Smith, will you not have enough money?” Augustus laughed, and everyone around them couldn't help laughing.

“One carrot, one pit, the richest family doesn't have any money left.” Andy said with a smile.

“Ha-ha-ha... ”

The crowd laughed and the atmosphere became happier. Aokuan seaside laughed and asked: “Did you say that you have another breakthrough in battery technology? ”

“Yes, our Tesla investment-supported Massachusetts Institute of Technology scientists have developed a new battery material processing technology that can be used to manufacture smaller rechargeable batteries that are expected to charge and discharge faster to minutes or even seconds, rather than hours.

This technology has the potential to drastically reduce the charging time of mobile phones and laptops, and can also be used to make electric cars with better acceleration performance. ”

Andy introduces with a hint of pride and pride that technology is the number one productivity, and as long as Tesla's electric car technology remains world leading, Andy is not worried about Tesla crashing.

“This technological advance in new batteries is revolutionary for the industry!” The Minister of New Energy on the sidelines is naturally well aware of the importance of this new technology and does not shy away from his praiseworthy endorsement.

O'Guanhai heard the Minister of Energy's approval and nodded with a smile, reaching out and patting Andy's back, making the relationship seem very close, saying: "Andy, let's take a look at your new car. The outside world is always watching your modelS program. ”

“Oh, no problem, Mr. President, this way, Minister, please -" Andy smiled with a bright smile on his face, stretched out his hand to show the invitation and walked with him to Tesla's car test site.

If early 2008 was the year of Tesla's life and death, then 2009 was a miracle year, and after Andy Smith, who was officially taken over by the battle power watch, the whole of Tesla changed dramatically, the biggest change being that he didn't have to strain his belt to live.

And in '08, at the request of big boss Andy Smith, the quick-start modelS program went well, and the design, testing and prototyping mechanism was successfully completed in early February 2009, and it had to be said that the team's creativity and execution were amazing for a young automotive company whose first product was not yet fully mature.

Standing outside the car, Andy smiled and watched as he sat in the ModelS test car, listened carefully to the introduction of the president of ModelS R&D chief engineer, looked at the streamlined appearance of the modelS prototype car, and was also very proud in his heart. Andy wanted Tesla to be far ahead of his competitors in product design, technology accumulation and business model building, so that he could survive better and grow.

“Excellent, I think this is the prettiest, most advanced and cheapest electric car in the world!” Learn more about modelS electric cars after walking out of Aoguanhai, and don't be stingy with your exhilarating words.

“Don't look, countries are confident and confident in reducing carbon emissions, but it is not easy to do so, and in the future electric cars are bound to be valued and promoted by more and more governments. ”

The audience here nodded to hear that, as President of the Olympic Ocean, too.

“Andy, let's talk... ”

“It's my pleasure, Mr. President. This way--”

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone else paused in an interesting way, taking off their suits, putting them in their pants pockets with one hand, putting them on their shoulders with one hand, laughing and Andy walking around in the middle of Tesla's park to chat, Secret Service agents and Andy's bodyguards scattered around, keeping the two of them in a protective circle at all times.

“Andy, I have to say, TESLA gives you a stunning feeling, but it's also something to be expected, that you are very fortunate to survive and grow in the most difficult and expensive automotive industry, through world-class teams, ideal leaders and a good Silicon Valley entrepreneurial environment, while bringing technological advances that are revolutionary to the industry, and as an American, I pay the highest tribute to Tesla. ”

“Thank you!” Andy said with a very calm smile, thanking him for walking around the park, "I've always told them about innovation that you need to be naive, because if you're too mature, you'll be very aware of the difficulties you're about to encounter and retreat, and they're a very good bunch of guys, well done. ”

“Oh, not so bad, by the way, Andy, I hear Tesla is interested in acquiring a new Unified Motor Manufacturing Company to increase production capacity? How's it going?” Augustine's eyes flashed with a strange colour, smiling and seemingly concerned to ask.

Andy knew the rou scene was coming, and if he wanted to get another loan from Okuanhai, this‘ bait ’he'd thrown out a long time ago was an important part of it.

The new United Motor Manufacturing Company is in bankruptcy, and the bankruptcy of such a factory will cause 5,000 people to lose their jobs, while Tesla is saddened by the lack of a complete line of automobiles to produce their own electric cars.

As a result, Andy sent someone to negotiate with the new Unified Car Manufacturing Corporation, while giving voice to the acquisition of the latter, as a sign of goodwill to the Government of Aoguan Hai that he would be able to solve more employment problems, thus attracting the attention of the White House and allowing Tesla to be supported again.

I have to say, this strategy worked.

“Yes, we do have the idea of acquiring each other, just to compensate for our own capacity problems, but the key is still the price. In fact, the outside question is correct. The green energy industry is really a money burning industry, research and development, experimentation, it's really too expensive, especially mass production. Mr. President, don't look at the results of the research and development of the ModelS model now, but we don't know when to wait, because we can't really afford that much money. In particular, we have a supercharging station project. Oops, now I think of this, and it hurts. ”

Andy began not to cry 13 faces of poverty, this is the world, crying children have NAI to drink, not to mention Okuanhai is his own calculation, this time does not cry, when to cry poor.

“Oh, well, Andy, tell me, how much do you want?” Augustine naturally knows what Andy means, but for him, who is now in the midst of many criticisms and doubts, there is an urgent need for a bright spot to disperse fire and popular discontent, and nothing is more appropriate than to address the unemployment of 5,000 people.

“500 million...” Andy smiled and stretched out his hand and said in front of Augustine, “Give us another $500 million interest-free loan, we can not only acquire a joint car manufacturing company, we can also officially start mass production of modelS, 5,000 car builders will certainly not be enough, we will need a lot of skilled workers. ”

“Yes.” Augustine promised without hesitation, but with a slightly more serious face, Andy said to his face, “But Andy, as you know, the new government's ability to reform has been questioned and many policies have been pointed backwards, and I hope to support you, to be a highlight, and to boost the economy with energy reform. ”

“Of course, I never let my friends down! Without the support of the President, we would not have been able to complete the acquisition of the joint venture, let alone mass production of new models, so that we could only see the joint venture go bankrupt, the workers unemployed and the creation of new jobs.” Andy smiled and said with great interest the promises that Okinawa wanted to hear.
