Chapter 2225 Tesla China's Preparations

Hongqiao Airport, Starbucks.

It was close to noon, and the occupancy rate was not too high. Wang Shanshan was preparing to take turns to eat lunch with her colleagues, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.

She was not unfamiliar with such a situation. It was probably a celebrity who showed up.

As one of the national hub airports, celebrities are not rare here.

And the current trend is that more and more celebrities regard the airport as the best place to be exposed, and they dress up in various ways to attract everyone's attention.

As an old employee, to be honest, she and her colleagues are now quite indifferent to such commotion.

However, today's movement seems to be a bit loud, as if Jay Chou is here.

I don't know how much money the star's team spent today to buy fans to watch.

She and her colleague shook their heads, "Let's go,"

"Why does it seem to be coming towards us?" The colleague said with some confusion.

"It seems to be true," as soon as the two of them walked to the door, they saw a large group of people followed by several men and women, swarming in.

Who is that? It's not the Jay Chou I like - because Jay Chou is not that tall.

"That's it," she heard the tall young man wearing sunglasses say.

Wang Shanshan and her colleagues quickly stepped aside as usual and let those people in.

Then, seven or eight people stood at the door, isolating the excited people who followed them outside the store.

These were obviously bodyguards, and there were several foreigners among the bodyguards. Which star was this, so arrogant, and this girl didn't know him? She looked at the people who sat down.

Her colleague was already very excited, "Feng Yiping, Feng Yiping!"

"Well, ah?" Wang Shanshan looked again, the person sitting at the table and taking off his sunglasses, wasn't it Feng Yiping?

Her colleague grabbed her hand, "Am I seeing right, it's really Feng Yiping?"

"Why did he come to our store?"

Yes, Wang Shanshan also felt strange, how could Feng Yiping, the richest man who had always been elusive, come to their store to drink coffee.

He could still imagine drinking coffee in other branches in the city occasionally, but he always flies around in his own private plane. Here, even when waiting for the flight, he is in the VIP lounge. Logically, he would never patronize their store.

But he is here.

The customers in the store who were originally a little listless were now very excited, but no one had the courage to approach them. Most people took out their mobile phones to take pictures. This was a rare opportunity.

Wang Shanshan, the store manager, who also felt that he was extremely lucky, hurriedly put all the few people in the store, including Wang Shanshan, at the door to maintain order together. He took the menu and walked towards Feng Yiping's table a little dizzy, "Mr. Feng, welcome, what would you like to drink?"

"What about you?" Feng Yiping asked Jin Ling and the others.

"Mocha," "Matcha Frappuccino," ...

"I want a latte, thank you!"

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, it'll be ready soon," Wang Shanshan, the store manager, was so impatient that she looked like a new employee, and couldn't speak clearly.

Jin Ling glanced outside the door. The people gathered were not as enthusiastic as those fans of stars. After all, Feng Yiping was not a literary and sports star.

But the number of people gathering outside the door seemed to be increasing, and the number of media was gradually increasing.

"I told you not to come here," Jin Ling complained in a low voice.

But in fact, she was still a little happy.

She was actually quite happy to be with Feng Yiping in such a non-business occasion and appear in front of the public.

"You can't isolate me from the world," Feng Yiping looked up, and the flash lights flashed immediately.

Jin Ling looked at the watch, "Before we pick up Eberhard, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people coming,"

"What does it matter? Look, everyone is very orderly, isn't it?" Feng Yiping said.

"That's not what I'm talking about," Jin Ling said.

At this time, the crowd at the door parted to both sides, and several people in suits and leather shoes, accompanied by several policemen, hurried in.

"I'm talking about them," Jin Ling looked at the middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes.

"Hello, Mr. Feng, hello, Mr. Jin," the middle-aged man with sweat on his forehead bent down and stretched out his hands, "I am the person in charge of the airport, Mr. Feng, Mr. Jin, how about you move to our VIP lounge to sit down?"

"Mr. Jiang," Fang Yingzhi knew this person, "one of our American colleagues will arrive in about half an hour, we can just wait here, it's no trouble,"

Feng Yiping stood up for a while, "Mr. Jiang, we are here, causing trouble to the airport?"

"Or should we go to the car?" he asked Jin Ling.

"No, no trouble, no trouble," Mr. Jiang said immediately, "It's okay to be here, it's also our honor,"

"Director Fang, may I ask which flight the American VIP is on? I'll arrange someone to pick him up as soon as possible,"

To be honest, Feng Yiping's presence really put some pressure on them at the airport.

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang. We are waiting for the CEO of Tesla..."

Looking at the several executives at the airport leaving in a hurry and a few more policemen at the door, Jin Ling said, "I told you,"

Feng Yiping saw the accusation of his willfulness in her eyes.

"This is Eberhard's first visit to China, and we arrived so soon, so of course we have to wait for him," Feng Yiping said.

He looked at the tables of his own people around him, perfectly separating the lucky customers in the store from the outside, and said in a low voice, "Even in the next negotiation, we should also show our respect for Eberhard,"

Jin Ling shook her head, "Your calculations are always flawless, but," she also looked around, knowing that under the obstruction of her own people, especially the noise at the door, it was impossible for other people in the store to hear what they were talking about, so she deliberately lowered her voice, "What I appreciate more is your luck,"

"Now I really think that your luck is really extraordinary,"

"Last year, the city intended to discuss this issue with us, but you kept dragging it out. Unexpectedly, you avoided such a big trouble,"

In fact, it's hard to say it's a trouble, but the former main person in charge of this most famous city in China has been officially investigated.

This is also one of the most shocking news for the Chinese in recent months.

If they had negotiated with the city about Tesla's China plan last year, I believe this matter would have had some impact on the conditions that had been negotiated.

"Yes, I also think I'm lucky," Feng Yiping said.

But he believed that Jin Ling could not imagine how lucky they were at this time, because Jin Ling did not know what the new person in charge of the city meant.

"But have you really decided to build the factory here?"

"Of course not, we naturally have to compare the preferential conditions given by various places," Feng Yiping said.

But he believed that this side would be more generous on similar conditions.

After all, the factory he planned to build was in cooperation with the world's first high-end pure electric vehicle manufacturer.

It was also for this reason that Jiasheng was particularly smooth when it came to obtaining the automobile production license last year.

At a time when air pollution is becoming more and more severe, the production of pure electric vehicles has many positive significances.

And it is entirely foreseeable that in the future, new energy vehicles, including pure electric vehicles, will definitely be the focus of the development of the automotive industry.

Therefore, the competent authorities are very happy to see Tesla, which looks like the world's most advanced electric vehicles in terms of both products and technology, and can now be said to be the industry's leading electric vehicles, landed and produced in China.

Because this will be very helpful to the development of domestic electric vehicles.

This is originally a strong automobile city, and they must not want to miss Tesla, which represents the future development trend of the automobile industry.

However, it is not ruled out that other provinces and cities will have more favorable conditions. After all, apart from the landing of Tesla and the promotion of local related industries, such a production plant also means at least a billion US dollars of investment.

Of course, Feng Yiping feels that as long as the conditions given here are above the average level, he is still inclined to build a factory here.

This is for future export considerations, as well as for the strong financial strength here, the subsidies that can be provided for pure electric vehicles, and the strong purchasing power here.

However, these words cannot be said now.

The interests of the company and the interests of the local government cannot be consistent.

Just like what Lao Ma said, business is business, and he still has to consider the interests of the company first.

This is why he asked Eberhard to come in person.

For some issues, let Eberhard talk first, in fact, it is to let him raise the conditions, and then make compromises.

"If you don't handle it well this time, the province may have opinions about you," Jin Ling said.

This is indeed a problem. Their province has also achieved good results in the automobile sector.

And Jin Ling noticed that he did not intend to put Tesla in the province.

"It's not that there is no solution. I think if it develops well, we can invest in a second factory in China, right?"

"Your confidence is really strong," Jin Ling said.

"Of course, at least in the field of high-end pure electric vehicles, Tesla will always be in a leading position for a long time in the future,"

Fang Yingzhi stood up, "Eberhard is here,"

Sure enough, there was another commotion at the door. Eberhard, wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, squeezed in from the passage separated by police and security accompanied by several airport executives.

"Feng," he shouted happily.

"Welcome, Eberhard," Feng Yiping hugged him, "You've lost weight again, but you can't lose any more weight,"

"When the road test starts and the final shape is finalized, I will gain weight," Eberhard said with a smile.

"Haha, that will be soon,"

Feng Yiping shook hands with the airport executives, "Thank you, you've worked hard,"

"This is our honor,"

Watching Feng Yiping and his group walk to the parking lot surrounded by a large group of security guards, the airport manager finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Give me a frappuccino," he said.

"What a pity," Wang Shanshan finally realized that she had just watched him go away so stupidly, without taking a photo or asking him to sign.

You know, there will be a chance to meet Jay Chou here in the future, but there will probably be no chance to meet this person again.

…………

Eberhard looked at the city in front of him at this moment, like a repeater, repeating, "Too shocking!" "Too beautiful!" "Too incredible!" These words.

"It is indeed the Pearl of the Orient!" he concluded in the end.

"Feng, is our company close to the Bund?"

"It's very close. You can see it directly from some offices," Feng Yiping said.

"Oh, that's great,"

"These are some conditions we have adjusted after final discussion. See if they suit you." He took out the computer from his bag.

Feng Yiping put the computer on the small table in front of his seat and browsed quickly. He had participated in the discussion before, so he was not unfamiliar with the conditions.

“As for acquiring land at a low price, I think we can go one step further,” he made an annotation after that item. “I think we can definitely fight for it and use the land free of charge.”

"Really?" Eberhard's eyes lit up.

He at least knows that compared to the United States, land in China is obviously more precious, not to mention that this is one of the most developed cities in China.

Would it be so nice here?

"Yes, I think we can fight for it," Feng Yiping looked at the other conditions intently.

Other conditions are also mainly focused on tax incentives and subsidies.

Eberhard glanced at him and said, "Feng, did you know that before I came, Musk actually strongly requested to participate in this negotiation?"

Feng Yiping was stunned, "Really? I don't know at all,"
