Chapter 1545 Prophecy
"We know that Mr. Feng and the other two founders of Tesla visited our car company today. Mr. Feng and your partners must have intuitively understood the complexity and high requirements of automobile production. understanding,”
When Feng Yiping heard this, it seemed that he still had not learned the previous lesson, because based on his words, it was obvious that he was not very optimistic about Tesla.
“If you’re in the know, one of our founding shareholders, Mr. Elon Musk, is now producing rockets,” he said with a laugh.
Producing rockets is more difficult than producing cars, right? We already know how difficult it is to produce cars, okay?
"Indeed, vehicle production can be said to be a concentrated display of a country's industrial level. I am very happy to see that our country has made great progress in these aspects in recent years," he added, who makes him a kind person. Where are people?
"We understand better that the automobile industry is a highly collaborative industry. So, under such circumstances, Tesla not only said that it would start from scratch and produce cars independently, but also said that it would subvert the entire traditional automobile industry. We want to You know, what are the reasons that give you such strong confidence?”
Well, the good-tempered Feng Yiping also wanted to leave after hearing what he said.
He could understand that this guy wanted to have a wonderful interview, that is, not too bland, hoping to have some ups and downs and be more confrontational. However, without boasting, with his and Jobs’ status, they were the guests. Interviews without those routines will naturally become popular.
It must be that the opportunity was too rare, so he used too much force.
So sometimes, being too eager for success is not necessarily a good thing.
"We have a very good team, and our team's work is excellent. The research and development of our various systems is currently progressing smoothly,"
"We have sufficient funds. Although the current work has consumed a huge amount of funds, it does not matter. We have prepared more funds for this. At the same time, new investors are still pouring in, such as those who have just joined recently. Microsoft,"
He was not polite in bringing Martin and Musk here. He hoped to take this opportunity to allow these two important members of the team to have an intuitive understanding of the domestic market and industrial level, thereby laying the foundation for Tesla in the future. localization and lay a solid foundation.
He doesn't want what he does to be copied exactly as it is. Now that there are such good conditions, he naturally hopes that the Tesla project he leads will make a big difference. In the future, he will not still sell cars at a loss, but Mainly relying on stocks to make money - that way is obviously not long-term and unsustainable.
He believes that domestically produced Tesla this morning is an important factor in changing this situation.
"So when do you expect this project to be fruitful?" the celebrity asked.
"Our plan is that in 2008, at least one car will be mass-produced and launched on the market. Judging from the current progress, the situation is very optimistic,"
In China, this is the first time that Feng Yiping has disclosed the details of his Tesla project to the public. This will be his most outstanding project in manufacturing.
"In other words, it will take another four years?" the celebrity asked.
"It will take more than three years. In fact, this time is not long. If you understand the automobile industry, you will know that it currently takes a long time to develop a new conventionally powered car."
"For example, a new chassis system takes about three years on average,"
From this perspective, it is not unreasonable for the state to strictly control private enterprises’ investment in the automobile industry.
This industry is really not something you can get by with just a little money. It burns money even more than those Internet companies. The key is that even if you burn so much money, there may be no results.
If a large amount of money is invested in this field, investment in other industries will naturally decrease accordingly. However, state control is a bit overkill.
“The car we want to build is not just a pure electric car. We hope to incorporate elements of Silicon Valley into this car body, because it will be born in Silicon Valley. During the research and development process, we will always draw on the latest trends from that time. Advanced technology, this is what we believe we will be successful at,"
"We also believe that the car we have spent so long polishing will definitely make consumers want to own it after seeing it - this is one of the reasons why we have spent so long,"
"We hope that our Tesla will become the Apple of the automotive industry in the future, and because of the excellence of its products, we will reduce the work we do in marketing," he paid a timely tribute to Apple.
Even if you don't understand it now and feel that it's a bit belittling, then you will understand it in 2007.
"With Yiping's vision and the resources and conditions you can mobilize now, we believe that you will definitely find more projects. Why do you have to invest huge sums of money to promote this project? With all due respect, the future is actually not good. A project that’s too obvious?” the celebrity asked.
What he said was also level-headed, and he praised Feng Yiping without any trace of it.
"After all, we have to take into account the situation that Tesla after it is put into production is very good, but correspondingly, the price is also high, just like Apple's iPod now. It is actually very good, but in China, it is not very good. popular,"
It seems that he still has some minor objections to Jobs's departure midway.
"We all know how popular iPod is in the United States, Europe, and some Asian countries, and I believe that Apple will definitely launch products that are popular around the world, including our country, in the future. You can put such a product Think of it as a product that we at Tesla will launch," Feng Yiping said.
Only he can understand this now. He believes that when everyone looks back at this video in the future, they will feel that he is predicting it.
"We must also take into account one factor, and that is the international crude oil price. If the international oil price is not high by then...," the famous mouthpiece continued to find problems.
“We build electric cars not because of high oil prices, but because we want to reduce carbon emissions and make a huge difference in allowing consumers to enjoy the different driving experience brought by high-tech Tesla cars. environment of,"
"I think that just for this goal, it is worth our efforts and worth taking risks,"
The famous speaker keenly grasped a key word, "Do you also think that this is an adventure?"
"I remember someone said something like this, life is an adventure, so there is nothing wrong with treating this project as an adventure,"
"This is my move to change the environment we live in. To embark on an adventure for the dream of making our common home better, I feel that no matter what the outcome is, it is worth it,"
There is no other way. At this point, some of his words have to be elevated.
But people like to hear such words, and famous speakers take the initiative to applaud.
"It seems that you are also under a lot of pressure," the famous mouthpiece was about to start to sensationalize.
"Stress, everyone has it, there's nothing unusual about it. What's important is how we deal with life under pressure,"
"Just like an egg, if it is broken from the outside, it is food, if it is broken from the inside, it is life,"
"The same goes for people. If we break from the outside, it's pressure, but if we take the initiative to break from the inside, that's growth."
Will this be 10 years from now? Compared with before, everyone's life has made great progress, but the oil and water in the belly is still limited.
The self-media is also underdeveloped. Therefore, everyone did not feel tired of the bowl of chicken soup that Feng Yiping just served, let alone poisonous. Instead, they thought it was reasonable and good.
"Besides, I'm still young, but if I take the risk and fail, I'll have to start all over again," Feng Yiping waved his hand coolly.
Now, even celebrities thought he was so domineering, and many of the female staff on the sidelines turned into stars.
"You are not young, you are very young. We also believe that since Yiping insists, your Tesla project will definitely succeed. Needless to say, I want to reserve one of your Teslas first,"
"Your reservation is already very late. You will definitely have to wait in the future," Feng Yiping said with a smile.
In fact, only he knew that what he said was not a joke at all.

At this time, Mr. Wang had reluctantly arrived at his destination.
