Chapter 1683 Inauguration Ceremony (1)

Li Mu hopes that Tesla can make breakthroughs in technology, in order to reduce the dimension of other new energy vehicle companies in the future.

Just like Ferrari is desperately throwing money at F1, with their technical accumulation, taking F1's technology over and doing a little subtraction, it is a Ferrari sports car of great value.

However, in Li Mu's view, this drop was far from enough.

If you want to let yourself do it, you'll drop all the way down to the same level as Corolla.

That is to say, Tesla's technology must be able to compete with supercars like Ferrari, and it must be able to directly compete with models like Corolla in terms of cost performance.

To achieve this goal, in addition to Tesla's continuous research and development and innovation, it has to make a basic layout in advance.

Corolla and Ferrari may belong to the same group, but they cannot be produced on the same production line, so they have to make their own production capacity layout in advance.

Li Mu has several options in mind. Whether it is BYD, Geely or Great Wall in China, they will try to receive a wave first.

As long as you accept one of them, you will have the qualifications and production lines to produce passenger cars in China, and then quickly expand the new platform for new energy vehicles to prepare for Tesla's mass production.

Once the mature Tesla model came out, he immediately promoted the cooperation with the State Grid for super charging stations in China.

In the last life, Tesla actually lived a very hard life, and the super charging stations were built almost one by one.

In Li Mu's view, this kind of infrastructure can't be built one by one, at least 100 or 100. Not only first-tier cities, but also trunk highways must be laid. From the beginning of new energy vehicles, try to build as much as possible Solve users' mileage anxiety.

In the end, it pays to throw money at it.

As for the United States, it must be started simultaneously. Not to mention, there is Schwarzenegger in power in California, and Tesla must be full of new energy red flags in California in the early stage of listing.

If China and the U.S. market are taken down, Tesla will inevitably become a success. The Tesla at that time will not be the Tesla of the previous life.

...

After chatting with Elon Musk, it was almost time for departure. Li Mu took Du Wei and others, accompanied by Mrs. Schwarzenegger, to the state government.

At this time, the state government of California,

Brighter than Hollywood.

The vehicles of Li Mu and his party bypassed the large number of reporters gathered outside and stopped directly at the main entrance of the state government, where Schwarzenegger was already waiting to greet him.

Since Li Mu was the most valuable one of the entrepreneurs present, not only Schwarzenegger paid attention to it, but also the media who were invited to report the whole process inside. When Li Mu got out of the car, he was caught by the cameras of several major media.

Schwarzenegger walked up to Li Mu with a smile, took the initiative to shake hands with him, and said, "Welcome, Mr. Li."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations, future governor."

Schwarzenegger smiled heartily: "Thank you, please come in!"

The inauguration ceremony was held in the press conference hall of the state government. The stage had already been set up, and hundreds of chairs were neatly placed below. In addition to American political celebrities, there were also a large number of top Hollywood stars who could sit here. , and top Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.

Li Mu was placed in the first row and saw many acquaintances along the way.

The entire "Flying Tigers" cast, led by Spielberg, came, but they came early and were already seated in different areas.

As a young generation in Hollywood, Anne Hathaway's position is in the middle, Du Wei saw her dancing happily and kept gesturing with her.

Anne Hathaway wore a black evening dress today, which was solemn yet beautiful and sexy. After waving to Du Wei, she also waved to Li Mu shyly.

Leonardo and Tom Hanks are in the third row.

Spielberg's position, in the second row.

Sitting next to him was a slightly obese white male, probably not from the entertainment industry.

Lin Qingya, CEO of Muye Technology USA, was also in the second row. Seeing Li Mu, she hurriedly stood up and nodded to Li Mu, and said with a smile, "Mr. Li."

Li Mu asked with a smile, "When did you come here?"

Lin Qingya said, "I just came here by car directly from the company."

Li Mu said, "When the inauguration ceremony is over, we will fly to Hollywood to have a party, will we be together?"

Lin Qingya said, "I won't go, I will take the car back to Silicon Valley after I finish."

Li Mu waved his hand: "Let's go to Hollywood together first, and then go to Silicon Valley together tomorrow, just in time to talk to you about something."

Lin Qingya nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be with you later."

Not far from Lin Qingya, also in the second row, Larry Page waved to Li Mu and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Li, long time no see!"

Li Mu smiled slightly and asked him, "How is the IPO preparation?"

Larry Page said: "I am looking for an opportunity to report to you. We have already started preparing for the road show, which is planned to be held by the end of the year."

Li Mu nodded and said, "I'm just waiting for your wave. After your IPO is successful at the end of this year, I'll start it next year."

Schwarzenegger's assistant said to Du Wei and Celine Dion: "Miss Du Wei, Miss Dion, the seats of the two of you are next to each other, on the other side of the second row."

Du Wei hurriedly asked Li Mu, "Brother Li Mu, which row are you in?"

Schwarzenegger said with a smile at this time: "Mr. Li is in the first row, and his seat is right in front of you."

Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief, if she was too far away from Li Mu, she would feel uncomfortable.

After greeting Lin Qingya and Larry Page, Li Mu and Du Wei came to the other side.

Du Wei's seat was indeed next to Celine Dion, and the seat on the other side of Du Wei turned out to be the famous Michael Jackson.

Schwarzenegger even took the initiative to introduce Li Mu and Michael Jackson. He smiled and said to Michael Jackson, "Michael, didn't you keep telling me that you wanted to know Li Mu? Come on, let me introduce you."

Michael Jackson stood up with a slight smile, Li Mu had already stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "No need to introduce, I'm a Michael fan."

Li Mu is indeed a fan of Jackson, but that was in his last life when he was young, but even in his previous life, he still respected the legendary Michael Jackson at this time.

Michael Jackson also hurriedly shook hands with Li Mu and said seriously, "I've always wanted to know Mr. Li, and finally I have the chance to meet him."

Schwarzenegger smiled and said, "Michael, let me introduce you to another little girl, Mr. Li's sister."

Speaking, he pointed to Du Wei and said to Michael Jackson, "This is Du Wei, and he is also a singer."

Du Wei was so nervous that she couldn't even speak when she saw Michael Jackson himself. Although she herself has always regarded Celine Dion as an idol, in terms of the degree of legend, Michael Jackson is the only one in this world. The first legendary singer is one of the only top performers, so it is impossible for her not to be nervous when she sees such a great god.

Michael Jackson took the initiative to reach out to Du Wei and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Du, nice to meet you."

"You... hello... Michael..." Du Wei shook hands with Michael Jackson, his excited heart almost jumping to his throat.

After chatting a few words, Schwarzenegger looked at the time and said, "Let's hurry up and take a seat first. After the inauguration is over, let's talk slowly in Hollywood."

Everyone naturally agreed, and Schwarzenegger pointed to the vacant seat in front of Du Wei and said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, this is your seat."

Li Mu nodded, and just as he was about to walk over, he found that Microsoft's Bill Gates was sitting next to his seat.

Li Mu didn't expect that Schwarzenegger's staff would arrange himself with Bill Gates. To say that the two are still half enemies, Muye Technology killed msn twice, and even killed Microsoft's entire social industry. The success of the powder has brought a lot of losses to Microsoft, and the stock price has also been affected and has been in the doldrums.

It's a little awkward to sit with him now.

Moreover, Li Mu felt that this arrangement was a bit subtle.

One is the richest man on the rich list, and the other is the uncrowned king who has not yet made it to the rich list. Although Lao Jiang is still very spicy, he is still no match for the back waves of the Yangtze River to push the front waves.

Bill Gates looked at Li Mu, stood up with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to shake hands with Li Mu: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

Li Mu smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Gates is lucky to meet you."

After all, Li Mu sat down beside Bill Gates.

Bill Gates smiled and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, I don't know when Muye Technology will officially IPO? I can't wait for you to replace me on the rich list."

Li Mu said with a smile: "We will start the IPO early next year, but to be honest, I really don't want to be listed on the rich list. If possible, I would even prefer not to go public."

Bill Gates said seriously: "It's actually good not to go public. With such a strong revenue capability of Makino Technology, there is no need to rely on listing for financing. Once listed, the company's operating details must be disclosed, and a lot of freedom will be lost. ."

Li Mu smiled and said: "If you want to do something big, you must have more cash in your hand. Now the Internet industry is developing rapidly, and you can quickly go public and raise tens of billions of dollars in your hands, you can plan a lot of things in advance. If I don't go public, online It is still very difficult to get so much money from financing, after all, the purpose of capital investment is to wait for listing to cash out, and if they refuse to go public, their investment enthusiasm will be greatly reduced.”

Bill Gates is a little depressed, financing tens of billions of dollars to make a layout? With such a large amount of money coming in, doesn't Muye Technology want to penetrate into every segment of the Internet industry? At that time, I am afraid that it will have a great impact on Microsoft again.

Microsoft's social network has already died in Li Mu's hands. Bill Gates is a little worried about Li Mu in his heart. Now, when he hears Li Mu say that the layout of tens of billions of dollars is an understatement, he feels a little nervous.

Li Mu suddenly thought of Weibo at this time, looked at Bill Gates, and asked him, "Mr. Gates, does Microsoft still want to do social networking?"

Bill Gates is a little annoyed, what does this mean? Provocative? Didn't the fire in our social business just kill you in a piss? What, do you still think we lit it up for you to fuck again?

Bill Gates got angry and said, "We've given up on the social business."

Li Mu hurriedly said: "Don't, to be honest, I have an idea to sell Weibo Twitter some time ago. In my opinion, Microsoft and Weibo Twitter are the best match, should Microsoft consider it?"
