Urban Romance Volume 1 Classmate Cha Junior Chapter 1222 The predecessor of Tesla

Agreeing to invest in aerospace with Elon Musk, Li Mu suddenly had a deeper understanding of the middle-aged man in front of him.

Foresight is a valuable skill for an entrepreneur, and the farther and more accurate the foresight is, the greater the space for entrepreneurs to develop.

Elon Musk saw the vast prospects of commercial satellite launch at least 2oo2 years ago. This is unimaginable for most people. Even now, most people can't imagine that any company will launch its own satellite in the future. , In most people's minds, satellites, like missiles, are high-level hardware that can only be run by state machines, but in a few years, among the world's top 500 companies, a large number of companies will develop their own satellites, and they will be used globally. Find the most cost-effective shooting service within the range.

What spacex sees is such a future market that is difficult for others to see.

Elon Musk's vision makes Li Mu feel inferior in this respect.

At this time, Elon Musk did not expect that his commercial space program was approved by Li Mu, which was really not easy.

He once told many people about this idea, but unfortunately, almost everyone felt that there was a problem with their brains, and there was no one who recognized them, let alone asking them to invest money. Now, Li Mu not only recognized his own ideas , but also willing to invest a lot of money to support himself, which really gave him a kind of moving that a scholar died for his confidant.

Elon Musk said with emotion: "Boss, it's really not easy to meet someone like you. I've been looking for investors for spacex for so long. Except for you, no one is willing to invest a penny, so that I have made a decision myself, and when it is time for paypa1's shares to be cashed out, I will cash out immediately, and then invest by myself..."

Li Mu smiled and said: "The reason why I am willing to invest is not because I am optimistic about this project, but mainly because I am very optimistic about you. I think the most intelligent investment should not be based on project investment, but based on people's investment. , I think you are very showy, then I will vote for you."

After speaking, Li Mu added: "I invested several million dollars in a college student at Harvard a few days ago. He has nothing but a computer and an idea, but it doesn't matter, I am optimistic about him, I believe he can succeed, Just like I believe you can make it."

"Boss, thank you, you can trust me so much, this is really the biggest recognition for me!"

Elon Musk was really moved by this young man who was ten years younger than him. When he heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

Sometimes, an entrepreneur who is determined to innovate is like a lonely boat on a long journey in a sea of ​​misery. In this vast sea full of dangers, he can't see a person who is in the same direction as himself. He is alone and fearful. In this case, what he hopes most is to be able to meet like-minded people to go together, relieve loneliness and reduce fear.

However, on this unique route, it is difficult to meet like-minded people. Even if there are occasional people who pass by, not only are they unwilling to lend a helping hand, but they will all laugh at their own direction and their own small boat. The weak can not help the wind.

Elon Musk felt that he was like a loner driving such a flat boat, and Li Mu was the owner of a huge fleet. He not only recognized his choice, but even picked one out of his fleet. The giant ship was handed over to himself, and he said to himself: "Go ahead with this big ship, I believe you can find the new big 6 you want!"

Seeing that Elon Musk's eyes were red, Li Mu knew that his strategy of attacking his heart was somewhat effective. Elon Musk may not be able to make money compared to Mark Zuckerberg, but this person is too It's unusual. Although he made his first pot of gold by relying on the Internet,

But he is unwilling to continue to develop in this industry and follow the rules of this industry. He chose two unprecedented paths, and it turns out that these two paths, which were not originally paths, were opened up by himself into two positive paths. Guan Dao, such a talent, he has to surround himself with anything he says.

So Li Mu said to him: "Elon, I appreciate your unique idea and your different thinking mode from others. My current personal cash flow can be called very abundant. If you have other An idea, even if it is just an idea that you are not sure about, as long as you want to do it, you can tell me, and I will invest in you without hesitation, and at least the scale is more than 100 billion US dollars.”

Elon Musk was completely stunned. Li Mu's words carried too much weight, which made his original feeling for Li Mu in his heart even more sublimated.

In fact, the reason why Li Mu said this was that he wanted to put the Tesla project out of his mouth.

Li Mu wants his Tesla more than SpaceX.

Spacex is awesome, but its applicability is far less than that of Tesla. Tesla's awesomeness is that they have led a new era. New energy vehicles are completely a new industry driven by Tesla, not to mention profits How much, the influence alone is beyond the reach of ordinary projects.

Moreover, according to Elon Musk's previous technical chain statement, Tesla's technical chain is more mature, and the applicability of expansion and extension is stronger. In Li Mu's impression, Tesla is in several areas such as electric motors, battery management, and driverless driving. There are very strong technical accumulations in all major directions, so that Toyota, the originator of hybrid vehicles, has long purchased batteries and motors from Tesla.

Li Mu especially wanted to directly convince their start-up team in the early days of Tesla to use a large sum of money to take a large part of their shares, and then they can start quickly with this money and do research while doing research. , while building the production line, the technical foundation and the industrial foundation will be rapidly developed at the same time, then the degree of Tesla's exhibition will definitely be much greater than that of its previous life.

In the past life, Tesla's biggest shackles were the lack of production capacity and the lack of production lines and product lines. In the final analysis, it was because Internet companies had no physical industry accumulation.

Take Tesla as an example, the company itself is not a car manufacturing company, but a research conducted by several geeks. Almost all of the funds are used for research, so there is no foundation in the industrial field. When they have a full set of technical patents, they will need to invest everywhere, and then build up factories and production lines brick by brick.

More than ten years after the Tesla exhibition, the mass-produced models can be counted with one hand, and the production capacity is limited. The order is placed after n years. In this situation, it is very difficult to even mention it, because every production line has To build from scratch little by little, the production capacity is also improved little by little, and it is impossible to achieve it in one step.

On the other hand, a company like BYD is far more efficient in making electric vehicles than Tesla. It itself is the world's top battery manufacturer, and it has built cars for ten years, not only in battery technology, automotive technology, There are also battery production lines and automobile production lines. Once the two are combined, a variety of electric vehicle products can be produced at once, so that when BYD started to make electric vehicles, it made a lot of models one after another, including pure electric vehicles. There are even a variety of pure electric buses, pure electric forklifts and trucks.

If Elon Musk wants to increase Tesla's product line to the scale of BYD, it will take him at least ten years to achieve it, but how much market has been missed in these ten years, but if there is a certain Anyone with the ability to think can figure it out.

Just like Huaxia and the Soviet Union during World War II, Huaxia had no industrial base at that time. In the face of a strong enemy, it wanted to build weapons but could not build them at all. Even if the full technology of the 99 main battle tank was given to the Huaxia military factory of that era, They still can't build a tank that can run. Using Tesla's purely hand-developed routine, when the first tank was tested in the ground, World War II was estimated to be over;

But the Soviet Union was completely different from China at that time. They had a very strong industrial base. When the war came, they transported the turret to a tractor factory that produced heavy crawler tractors, and immediately produced tanks that could be put into war. This is the industrial base. importance.

Therefore, in Li Mu's view, the industrial foundation is the most important issue in Tesla's exhibition, and there is no one. If you can get Tesla's project, you must invest a lot of money to build Tesla in the early stage. Pull the industrial base, or simply directly acquire a manufacturing company worldwide. If Tesla and BYD can be combined together, plus enough financial support, Li Mu believes that the spring of new energy vehicles can be in the o8 Olympic Games. Come early!

At this time, Li Mu tentatively asked Elon Musk: "Elon, if there are any good experimental projects in Silicon Valley, you can learn more about them. I am quite interested in this aspect and can make some investments."

Li Mu has always regarded Silicon Valley as a sacred place in his heart in his last life. He knows Silicon Valley very well. Silicon Valley is not only a large number of Internet companies, but also a large number of emerging technology companies that focus on the future. Cisco is a high-level enterprise born from Silicon Valley, and so is Tesla Same.

However, at the beginning of the establishment of these companies, most of them had to struggle for a long time to survive online. Because of their experimental colors, most of them were not even companies, just a few geeks. It's just a little research together. Apple also started in this way.

Many similar small groups have very interesting technologies in their hands, but they can’t even get a valuation of millions of dollars. It is difficult to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, and they can only move forward a little bit with difficulty. Many even died directly on the road to entrepreneurship.

If you can go in and dig out a few good projects to invest at this time, it will definitely be promising in the future.

Elon Musk smiled when he heard Li Mu's question, and said casually: "Some time ago, a friend asked me for a project that wanted to invest in me. He said they used a lot of laptop batteries to assemble an electric car. , and the overall performance of the car is pretty good, it sounds a bit interesting, but I haven't made an appointment with them yet..."

Hearing this, Li Mu was so excited that he almost shouted out. The reason why he was so excited was because he knew in his heart that the project Elon Musk was talking about was the predecessor of Tesla! Chapter 1222 Tesla's predecessor
