Chapter 992 Lithium Sky for! (3/4)

The third day after Black Thursday.

The sun rose in a hurry at 6: 00 a.m., illuminating the morning of Manhattan Island, New York.

As usual, he walked out of the car with his briefcase. Just as Bem beat up an impeccable arrears and was about to make a quick walk to the company building, he suddenly saw the door of the newspaper booth of the usual door, but at this moment he was surrounded by a large group of people.

A number of gentlemen in suits, leather shoes and waxed shoes, squeezed in unimaginably, tried to cross crowds like a crowded subway and exchanged cash in their hands for newspapers in the hands of the owner of the newsstand.

“What happened...”

Nagging in his mouth, Bem was about to walk up and suddenly saw a fat man with curly hair, cursing and squeezing out of the crowd.

This man is no one else, just Carrill.

Before he could hesitate, Bem immediately walked up and patted his colleague on the shoulder.

“Hey, what exactly happened? How come so many people are surrounded here. ”

“It's because I don't know what happened that I put so much effort into it," scolded the wrinkled newspaper, Carrill squeezed green bean-sized eyes and followed the headline on the first line of the newspaper.

It was almost a moment when his eyes touched the paper, and Carrill's expression solidified.

Same goes for Bem, who stands behind him, whose expression is instantly stiff and then quickly transforms his joy and sadness.

“… the Ministry of Commerce withdrew the complaint! ExxonMobil, drop the charges! God... this is so...” I immediately cast my gaze at my colleagues, and Carrill continued with a anxious voice, "Bem, my friend, think with your smart head, what does that mean? ”

Grabbing the hair on his head, Bem's brain is chaotic right now, not much better than his partner's.

“I don't know... this is so sudden, maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's a bad thing... let me think, it's definitely good for the fusion station on the west coast... damn it! We thought this antitrust investigation would be delayed at least until the end of the year! Half the time, not a week before and after, what are those idiots thinking on Capitol Hill! ”

“… emails from the company. ”

“What did it say?” Looking at Carrie taking out her phone, Bem asked hastily.

“Nothing, just let us arrive earlier, the manager intends to use the first half hour of work for a short morning meeting...”

“Hurry up! That's probably what we're talking about!” Putting newspapers in their briefcases, Bem rushed to the company's doorstep.

It took a few seconds for Carrill to react. Her face changed and she hurriedly put her phone away, catching up and shouting.

“Hey, that's my newspaper! ”

What happened near the Goldman Sachs Group building was not an isolated coincidence.

In fact, almost the entire newsstand on Manhattan Island has been crushed by fanatics that have spread to several other streets in downtown New York.

It is not excluded that some people are going to join in the fun.

But the vast majority of people are practitioners in the financial sector who invest in nearby banks.

The U.S. International Trade Commission dismisses the antitrust investigation!

ExxonMobil dropped the charges!

These two messages appeared in the Wall Street Journal almost at the same time.

It is said that in order to prioritize these two powerful stories and pick one out as the headline, the editor of The Wall Street Journal had a headache for a while.

But it doesn't really matter.

Because no matter what the headlines are, it's enough for this newspaper to sell crazy.

Many people who had the privilege of grabbing newspapers in the first place could not believe their eyes. After a weekend of thought preparation, a lot of people were ready to deal with this shock, but didn't expect this fierce anti-monopoly investigation, it just stopped?!

Soon, the message spread to the Internet.

These headlines for investors spread across the United States and even around the world at the speed of the cable. Almost everyone, like most investors interested in the matter, was stunned by the news.

Especially those white supremacists who were arrogant enough to teach some lessons to the arrogant Chinese people, and supporters of the "America First” creed, were just as cold as being poured over their heads with a basin of cold water.

Facebook.

Discussions on related topics have been thoroughly fried.

[To the Dark Moment!

[Disappointing, next time I will never vote for that cowardly liar.

[This is definitely a dark day in history! The Statue of Liberty is like an evil force! This reminds me of Chamberlain, who signed the pacification agreement back then, at first we all thought we could trade Poland for peace in Europe at the expense of the whole world! (sad) (sad)]

[Don't fucking put gold on your face, who the hell is messing with it?!

You know how many times the Statue of Liberty saved the world? How much peace has been maintained? How many famines have been solved?

[... I suspect you're a fucking friendly, but you don't have a dog head, I'm still moving out of my Italian cannon!

……

Tesla Building, Huaxia District.

In the conference room on the top floor.

Looking at the rising sun outside the landing window, Musk, who had been on the plane for a long time, suddenly sighed.

“I can't blame you, everyone knows that we didn't lose to Startech, we didn't lose to that... BB charge, we didn't even lose to China. ”

Beavis was silent and did not speak.

He knows who his boss is trying to say.

“... think about it, it would have been a wrong decision to go this far, and we haven't had many chances since they completed the patent barrier for lithium empty batteries. If I were you, I wouldn't hang wireless charging technology on this fortress, but I would pick a technology standard that would benefit us and expand our strengths. ”

The patent is only valid for 20 years.

But how long does the standard last?

Nobody knows, because so far, many standards have not been eliminated, and inertia exists in both markets and industrial chains, which are difficult to change unless this whole thing is replaced.

Musk sighed when he heard his men.

“I know, but… are you willing to accept failure? ”

Bevis shook his head and said.

“There's nothing I can do about it. ”

A while ago, when the local government in Shanghai suddenly swept away the previously welcomed attitude and began to become aggressive, he realized that something might be wrong.

This change of attitude is too unusual to allow people to think deeply.

Later, Bevis found a good relationship with them, and it was only after contacting officials in key positions in the relevant departments that it became implicit from the conversation that it was meant to come from Shanghai.

They touched the bottom line.

Their attitude will not change until they return to this bottom line.

Bevis doesn't know exactly what this bottom line is, maybe because they did something, maybe because the White House did something.

But he is clear that that is the bottom line, which may be relevant to Tesla's future in China...

However, he had no right to make decisions.

Only the man who stood before him had that right.

He was silent for a while and looked at the back of Musk standing in front of the landing window, Bevis asked.

“What do we do now? ”

“Nothing can be done," Musk retracted his gaze from the rising sun at the Yangtze River port, turning to Bivis and sighing, "stop the damage in time. ”

“The charging pile is a tempting piece of cake, as tempting as the future of the city is, but it is not our core business...”

“At least we have to keep Tesla in the Chinese market. ”

Slightly relaxed his shoulder, Bevis nodded and continued.

“I see… by the way, where's the new electric car? I'm referring to Model2022…”

“... in the lithium sky," he said, a flesh ache in Musk's heart, a slight twitch on his face, biting his teeth and continuing, “Battery, just use their SH standard...”

SH standard…

Lost again...

Ah ah ah!

Fucking pissed off!

Looking at the owner of the facial muscle twitch, Bevis suddenly had no choice but to have a little admiration in his heart.

He has been in China for several years and has often heard two proverbs.

One sentence reads, "Anyone who makes a big deal will tip”.

The other sentence was "men can bend and stretch”.

Perhaps…

That's the secret to his success.
