Chapter 1223 Comprehensive Development of Three-Dimensional Crossing

Tesla was founded in July 2003.

Strictly speaking, it is not yet time for Tesla to be established.

However, before Tesla was founded, the source of Tesla's technology, AC-Company, has been developing for a long time.

AC-The company first produced an electric car called the T-Zero, and then Tesla founder Martin Eberhard invested in AC- a sum of money and hoped they could build one for themselves with laptop batteries The new T-Zero, a car with a new type of battery, was produced with an astonishing 480km range, and Martin Eberhard wanted AC-to perfect the car and put it into production, but the AC - I don't think this kind of car has any potential, so the two did not reach a consensus, and then Martin Eberhard decided to do it himself, so Tesla was established.

However, since before the official establishment of Tesla, and from the words of Elon Musk, the T-Zero with the replacement of lithium batteries has come out, so Li Mu speculates that the current time node may be Martin Ai Berhard is holding the project, looking around for the stage of investment.

Li Mu has read Elon Musk's biography, and remembers that he only invested in Tesla in 2004, so in fact, he should have learned about the project in 2003, but before 2004, he still There is no interest in investing in this project and it is in the wait-and-see stage.

At this point, Elon Musk has only heard about the project, but hasn't taken the time and energy to learn about it for himself.

To understand this logic, Li Mu suddenly became excited.

In his last life, he still yearned for Tesla. After all, the first people to pursue Tesla were almost all people in the Internet circle. Later, its products continued to increase their influence and let more people know and accept it. Follow suit.

In Li Mu's eyes, Tesla is the most perfect combination of the Internet spirit in traditional products.

As an Internet person, Li Mu once had doubts unique to Internet people about countless traditional products. Take cars as an example. Li Mu has driven many types of cars in his past life. He has always had a question in his mind. , The visual effects are very good, and the iPad runs very smoothly for only 3,000 yuan. Why is it that no car can make its central control screen like an iPad for a car as low as tens of thousands and as high as several million? Dimensions and visuals?

Why is the visual effect and system experience of the central control screen in the car in the era of people holding retina screen mobile phones, but rough like the copycat MP4 in 2005? Why can't you just use a screen like the iPad? Is it a cost constraint, or is it an industrial constraint, or do they simply don't think the car needs such a central control panel?

Later, Tesla was born. When Li Mu saw Tesla's huge and shocking central control screen, he knew that it was not that car manufacturers couldn't do it, but that no one wanted it, or no one wanted to do it. The moment Tesla was born, it meant that people in the IT industry finally entered the automotive market.

In addition, in the eyes of Li Mu, the automotive industry has some very serious IT technology lag. When Internet people are desperately developing the Internet of Things, the arrogant automotive industry has been dragging forward in its own dimension.

For example, after the advent of the Internet of Things era, even a kettle at home can be remotely started and turned off using a mobile phone. Why do most vehicles not even support mobile phone control?

In winter and summer, the first few minutes of entering the car are simply tormented. In winter, the car is as cold as an ice cellar. It can only be warmed when the water temperature rises. In summer, the car is hot everywhere after being exposed to the sun. If the technology is in the car, and the car is warmed up or cooled ten minutes before going out, wouldn’t people be able to suffer a lot less?

Some people often forget to bring the car keys, or lock the car keys in the car, and finally can only break in through the window. If the car solves the problem of the Internet of Things,

Click on the phone, the door will not open? Mobike has added this function to millions of bicycles, but why don't most car companies even consider such a simple thing?

Some car companies will use safety as an excuse, saying that adding cars to the Internet of Things will bring hidden dangers to the safety of cars. Li Mu thinks this is simply an excuse to avoid progress. Tens of millions of funds can be manipulated, and no one is worried that mobile banking will bring hidden dangers to the account. What should you worry about with a car that weighs tons?

After the development of the Internet of Things, even the black bosses who flipped the mortgage car know to install a GPS in the car to monitor the location and information of the vehicle at any time. Most car manufacturers have never thought of installing one in their car.

All in all, before the emergence of Tesla, the auto industry has been developing freely with its own unspoken rules, and it was not until the emergence of Tesla that it really gave them a blow and made them finally realize the importance of technological innovation.

With such a complicated feeling derived from long-term accumulation, Li Mu has his own respect for Tesla, so he was also very interested in this project after his rebirth, but he didn't expect that he would ask Elon casually. Musk asked about the current status of the project, which made Li Mu's brain instinctively reflect a motive:

Li Mu, who couldn't afford a Tesla in his last life, wants to buy the entire Tesla in this life!

Do not!

Not just a Tesla, he wants to buy Tesla, install a set of rocket boosters on it, and let it plunge into the traditional auto industry and run amok, hitting it all over the place!

So, Li Mu said to Elon Musk: "If you have time, help me investigate this project and ask them to prepare a BP for me. If it is OK, I will invest a few million dollars in them first."

Elon Musk said in surprise: "Boss, are you interested in cars?"

Li Mu didn't answer his question, but instead asked him, "How about you?"

Elon Musk nodded: "I'm quite interested, but I don't know that you are also interested in this, boss."

Li Mu asked him again, "How many men in the world do you think are not interested in cars?"

Elon Musk was dumbfounded for a moment, and smiled awkwardly after a while: "You're right, men like cars, and they love cars like their lives."

Li Mu nodded and said to him, "I will definitely make multiple layouts in the future, and it will be a multiple layout that spans countries, continents, industries and fields. The best situation is that all industries that can make money around the world, I have a piece of the pie, that is the most ideal state, the automotive industry has such a huge market prospect in the world, and of course, if you have the opportunity, you must go in and experience it.”

Having said that, Li Mu added: "After Muye Technology and Taobao Technology are both listed, and the funds are absolutely abundant, it is not impossible to acquire an automobile manufacturing company."

Li Mu didn't play tricks with Elon Musk. Although all of what he said was very big and most people couldn't believe it, Li Mu didn't hide anything at all.

In the future, I must constantly make new layouts, not only to create an Internet ecology, but also to create an ecology that combines multiple Internets with all possibilities. Only in this way can I have room for improvement in any situation.

Elon Musk was very surprised, but he quickly realized that at the level of Li Mu, what he has to consider is not vertical development, nor horizontal development, but the comprehensive development of the three-dimensional cross.

After thinking about it, Elon Musk nodded: "I will meet them after I go back to Silicon Valley and ask them to prepare a BP for you."

Li Mu said: "You should also learn more about their actual situation. I hope that in these new fields of exploration, you can bind with me."

Elon Musk asked in surprise: "Boss, what do you mean?"

Li Mu said seriously: "PayPal has room for growth in the future, but for you, there is not much room for manipulation. It is like a hybrid crop that you cultivated, and it took you a long time to cultivate it. , a lot of energy, that is the most important incubation period and cultivation period, but as long as it is finalized, most of your work on this new variety is over, you don’t need to watch it planting and harvesting, so soon In the future, you still have to come out of PayPal to do some other product incubation and training.”

"I believe in your ability, so if you are interested in this aspect, I hope that the two of us will be able to bind and cooperate in the future. If there are good projects, we will vote together. I will get the big head, you will pay the small head, or even if you don't It’s okay, even if you don’t go out, I will reserve a certain amount of shares for you. As long as you can help me manage and operate well, I hope we can have similar cooperation on multiple projects in the future. In that case, I will use My resources are used to improve the success rate of the project, and your interests will be more stable.”

Elon Musk was excited and excited, nodded solemnly, and said, "Boss, I will let you send me in the future!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, as he recognized his statement. As for "Tesla", Li Mu didn't mention it again, because he knew that with his current strength and size, it would be too much to pay too much attention to a small project that is still in the incubation period. Somewhat abnormal, Elon Musk is a smart man, he must know the benefits of getting on his own boat, so he will definitely take this matter to his heart, and that's enough.

Afterwards, Li Mu looked at Elon Musk and said with a profound expression: "Why did you come all the way to Hollywood to find me, now you can talk about it."

Elon Musk laughed and said, "Nothing can escape your eyes, boss."

This time, he was entrusted by Paul Keane to come to make peace, but he did not expect to discuss the project he was planning with Li Mu. He accidentally got an investment commitment from Li Mu, and even was drawn into his subordinate by Li Mu. , and Paul Keane entrusted himself with the serious business, and he didn't even bother to do it.

So Elon Musk spoke about Paul Keane's motives for entrusting him here: "Paul's awareness now is that he just wants to preserve his son's reputation, even if he is infamy himself, that's why he wrote So when an article comes out, I don't ask you to take back the reputation damage you brought to the Keen family before. I just ask you to stop pursuing it and give him a chance to clear his son's reputation. He said that as long as you can let him go , he will definitely repay in the future.”

Li Mu waved his hand without hesitation, and said with a stern expression: "Tell him, the last chance I gave him was that he gave up washing the ground for his son, and brought his son together to publicly admit what they did and apologize. He accepted and did it, and this is the end of the matter. In the future, I will not be in trouble with him. If he does not accept it, then you tell him that I will announce the senator-related information to the United States in the next stage. matter!"
