Reborn multinational giant

"The price is 50,000 to 80,000 U.S. dollars?" Fang Zhe nodded after listening. This is not much different from the price of the Tesla Model-S in his previous life.

According to Musk’s explanation, the Model-S series of electric cars designed by Tesla this time are divided into three models. The difference between these three models is mainly in the battery, different batteries, and the mileage of a charge. The number is different, the price is different.

The most expensive Model-S car, which can run nearly 500 kilometers on a single charge, is estimated to cost US$80,000, which is at least US$30,000 cheaper than the TeslaRoadster series previously released by Tesla!

Don't underestimate the US$30,000. In the United States, where the auto industry is highly developed, the price of cars is much cheaper than in China. Most mainstream cars on the market are around US$20,000-60,000.

In other words, the Model-S series compared to the TeslaRoadster series' cost of 30,000 US dollars, it is enough to buy an ordinary car. The previous life is precisely because of this lowered 30,000 US dollars and further improved car technology. Slacai officially opened the market with Model-S.

More than half an hour later, Musk led Fang Zhe and his party to visit the entire production workshop. During this period, Fang Zhe also had enough understanding of Tesla’s production plan and production capacity. His face, Interest in Tesla is also growing.

Looking at the expression on Fang Zhe’s face, Musk felt that the time was ripe. He tentatively asked: "Mr. Fang Zhe, I don’t know if you and Huizhong are interested in investing in our Tesla company!"

"Come!" Fang Zhe's expression remained unchanged. He believed that Musk had already seen that he was very interested in investing in Tesla, and he had not taken the initiative to speak, just waiting for Musk to speak first.

"Mr. Musk, to be honest, I am very interested in investing in your company. However, as far as I know, your company has been at a loss since its establishment in 2003. The cost of the TeslaRoadster series previously released was very high and the market responded. Not very good either.

So, I hope you can give me a reason to convince myself. I want to know, what does Tesla rely on to survive and when will Tesla be profitable?"Fang Zhe asked back.

Musk stared at the faint smile on Fang Zhe’s face. Although he knew that Tesla had great confidence in taking the investment from Zhe and Huizhong, it all depended on his next answer at what price. Performance.

"Mr. Fang Zhe, you are Chinese. China is known as the world's factory. What is the weather and environment in China? I think you should be very clear. No one wants to live in a polluted environment. China has traded the environment for the past few years. Ten years of rapid development, but now, China, like the United States and many developed countries around the world, has begun to manage and protect the environment.

Fuel vehicles have been slowly eliminated from the public transportation, rental and other industries, and have now spread to the private car field. Only electric vehicles are the future of the automotive industry, and Tesla is the most technologically advanced company in the global electric vehicle industry. .

Tesla represents the future of the automotive industry!

Do you want to know what Tesla depends on to survive?What I can tell you is that Tesla is relying on our technology accumulation in this industry for more than 7 years to survive. It is relying on the support of people like you and me who dare to embrace the future. Rely on people in the world who are more and more concerned about the environment and willing to protect the environment.

I can’t tell you exactly when Tesla will be profitable, but I know that if the sky all over the world is blue in the future, then Tesla must be a company that contributes to all of this!"

There was a faint smile on Fang Zhe’s face. In Fang Zhe’s view, Musk is a madman, and even a realistic idealist. He is a madman, so he has done a lot of things that rich people dare not do. He is an idealist, so Tesla and SpaceX he invested in are basically full of idealism, and he is also very realistic, otherwise he would not be able to let Tesla live to this day.

"Happy cooperation!" Fang Zhe spoke in English and stretched out his right hand to Musk.

This made Musk stunned for a few seconds. In fact, in order to persuade Fang Zhe, he prepared several plans. What he said just now is just a routine full of idealism. If Fang Zhe doesn’t eat With this set, he also intends to convince Fang Zhe from various aspects such as Tesla's current shareholder composition or Tesla's financial situation, but he did not expect that Fang Zhe would really eat this set!

Of course Fang Zhe had this idea. Fang Zhe himself was a complete idealist. Of course, Fang Zhe was also a complete realist. If he had not been a rebirth, he would have known the development of Tesla well. I am afraid that despite what Musk said, he has to seriously consider it like other investors. After all, in order to obtain a low-interest loan from the US government, Tesla even visited the US president in person. .

Fang Zhe’s “happy cooperation” disrupted many of Musk’s subsequent preparations. While he was stunned, Fang Zhe asked another thing:

"Mr. Musk, I wonder if I have the opportunity to visit another company you founded, SpaceX?"

"SpaceX?" Musk subconsciously wanted to agree. Like Tesla, the private aerospace company SpaceX he invested in is also a bottomless pit of money. If Fang Zhe can invest, he would naturally be more than happy.

However, after only two or three seconds, Musk realized the identity of Fang Zhe, he was Chinese!

Therefore, Musk can only apologize and refuse:

"Sorry, Mr. Fang Zhe, you also know that SpaceX does aerospace business. Our main business and partner is NASA. Without their permission, even me, there is no way to bring outsiders there."

A regretful expression appeared on Fang Zhe's face. He was more curious about SpaceX than Tesla where he is now. After all, building rockets is far greater than building cars.

Unfortunately, given the relationship and environment between China and the United States, Fang Zhe, not to mention investing in SpaceX, is not an easy task to visit!

However, the matter is human. As a rebirth, he is also the protagonist in the novel. Even if there is no way to invest in SpaceX now, it is not difficult to visit!

Therefore, Fang Zhe said again:

"Mr. Musk, I heard that SpaceX is currently improving the living environment of its employees. I personally would like to donate 1 million US dollars to it for free. I hope they can have better energy to contribute to the cause of human exploration of space!"
