Chapter 2769 Tesla Goes Public
After the Autumnal Equinox, the wind from the Western Pacific becomes noticeably stronger. Going to the beach to blow the sea breeze gradually becomes a test of physical strength.
Girls have fewer opportunities to wear bikinis. Fortunately, because the days are getting shorter and the nights are longer again, the time spent hanging out in nightclubs is relatively longer, which can be considered a compensation to some extent.
But for Feng Yiping, it only means one thing: the harvest season is here!
On Wednesday, not only he and Huang Jingping got up at six in the morning, but also Amanda, who rarely got up early.
Because today is a big day, it will also be the most important day in Tesla’s history: Tesla will be officially launched today!
Unlike Feng Yiping's other projects, the Tesla project has always been high-profile since its inception. Naturally, this listing will not be a trivial matter. At ten o'clock in the morning, they will hold a grand and unique listing ceremony.
Feng Yiping is also looking forward to this day.
After more than 5 years and more than 3 billion US dollars of investment, it is finally time to bear fruit.
Even if this is only a small batch delivery, just a small batch delivery of orders from important customers such as shareholders, even if the subsequent investment will not be less than the US$3 billion, even if it is still difficult to achieve profitability in the next few years...
Feng Yiping still couldn't bear the excitement.
This is a very important project for him personally and for the company he founded. It will allow them to take the moral high ground on environmental issues that everyone is paying more and more attention to - after all, the mainstream view is , pure electric vehicles have zero emissions.
Compared with Tesla, many charitable projects related to the wealthy and environmental improvement are weak!
This is also an important project to improve the ranking of some of his companies.
I believe that from today on, especially the domestic people, they will have the impression that since Feng Yiping’s company can even build high-tech pure electric vehicles like Tesla so well, then some companies in Jiaqiang, For example, the products launched by Magic Workshop are more trustworthy...
To put it simply, this is a typical project that brings both fame and fortune.
When he was going out, he couldn't help but hum the song "We ordinary people are so happy today" again.
"My little princess," he kissed his daughter on the face, "and the little princess's mother,"
Huang Jingping immediately stopped him with her hands, looking disgusted, "The princess's mother won't let her kiss her. Oh, you still have the prince's mother, right?"
Feng Yiping suddenly felt that she was not an old lady? I started to feel sour and jealous early in the morning.
"Amanda, when you come to the island with your brother, be obedient."
"remember,"
"Also, you have to take good care of your mother,"
"Don't worry, Dad," the little guy glanced at her mother with a serious look on her face.
Huang Jingping was so angry, but she still helped Feng Yiping tidy up her clothes, "Although you are not on stage, you still have to pay attention to your image, because..."
"There will be a beautiful aunt who wants to interview you again," Amanda said very smoothly.
This...this...I...
Huang Jingping immediately knelt down and kissed her daughter hard on the face. Feng Yiping saw her and raised her eyebrows with joy.
…………
At 8:30, Feng Yiping's car drove onto Treasure Island amid flashing lights.
At this time, there was only an hour and a half left before the ceremony started. One-third of the parking spaces in the temporarily opened parking lot were already filled with cars. There were rows of TV broadcast trucks, just like Highway 1. Like the RVs that boarded the scenic spots, they were lined up along the coast.
There was already a helicopter hovering over the island - it was the helicopter rented by YouTube. In order to flash the Model S to the public at the last moment, this helicopter was the only one in the surrounding airspace.
Outside the isolation line, reporters from all over the world gathered, and Feng Yiping felt that they were more excited than himself.
Surrounded by more than a dozen security personnel, he struggled to squeeze through the crowd of reporters, but politely responded to all their questions with the word "thank you."
There was someone else who answered their questions today.
Within the isolation line, on the other side of the island, around the large temporary stage built in the middle, the staff were running back and forth, conducting final inspections on all aspects of the situation. Feng Yiping kept hearing the intercom as he walked. The cry really sounded like a battle.
When he walked to the edge of the stage, a silver-gray Model S drove to the center of the stage at that moment, and getting out of the car was Musk, who was rarely wearing a suit.
I don’t know if this is his first rehearsal.
It stands to reason that in addition to the absolute protagonist of the Model S today, another important role should be played by Tesla CEO Eberhard. However, after the preparatory meeting, Musk actually convinced Eberhard .
Feng Yiping personally has no opinion on this.
Just like Android, he will definitely not stand on the stage to attract attention at such a time. Tesla, the one he originally planned to push to the front desk, is also Musk.
Since Eberhard didn't have any objections, he naturally didn't have any objections either.
Unlike Musk, who was wearing a suit but no tie, Martin Eberhard, ** Straubel, and Mark Tarpenning not only wore custom-made dresses, but also neatly tied their ties. .
"Feng," Eberhard, who was at least ten pounds lighter than when they first met, greeted Feng Yiping with a smile. After calling him, he seemed to have forgotten what to say.
"Guys, I'm proud of you," Feng Yiping hugged them one by one.
Straubel and Tarpenning looked at the car on the stage with mixed feelings.
"Let's go," Feng Yiping hugged them, "At this time, we should take a photo with our protagonist,"
"Yes, you should," they immediately agreed.
Feng Yiping clearly saw that each of them looked at the car on the stage with disgusting eyes... In the eyes of others, he was actually not much better.
He touched the car a few times, feeling satisfied and proud, "Musk, stop for a moment and come over to take a photo first."
Musk, who was holding his hands and facing away from the audience, seemed to be speaking silently, turned his head impatiently, and when he saw it was Feng Yiping, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Wait for me,"
As the shutter clicked, the five founders and their soon-to-be-born child took their first official photo together.
Looking at the eager eyes of the employees around him, Feng Yiping smiled and waved, "Come on, everyone, together,"
"Yeah!" Suddenly many people dropped their things and cheered and gathered beside the car. In the past more than a thousand days and nights, many of them had thought about this scene more than once.
…………
At 9:35, with the deafening sound of rock music, special guests, mainly investor representatives and relatives, entered from the VIP channel. At 9:45, other guests who had drawn tickets, as well as family members of employees Enter the venue with media reporters.
Finally, when they got close to the stage, everyone realized that this was really not a press conference in the traditional sense, because there were no seats at all.
A low stage was set up on the edge of the turquoise sea. The entire venue was filled with intense rock music. Thousands of people in the audience gathered together excitedly. This reminded many people of their spring break in high school.
Although there is no good beach, the scenery is absolutely first-class. On the left is the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown San Francisco, behind is the Bay Bridge, and on the right is Oakland...
The music suddenly stopped, and along with the majestic BGM, on the big screen on the stage, a red sports car sped toward us from a distance, and the cameras in the reporters' hands immediately kept clicking.
Although Tesla has disclosed a lot of information about its appearance and interior in various media before, the commercial-like film that is being played is the one that attracts attention but has always been highly confidential. A complete presentation in front of everyone.
The guests present also clapped excitedly. After looking forward to it for so many years, it is not easy to finally meet in person.
But just when the car was about to approach, and a close-up was supposed to take place, the screen suddenly went dark.
Suddenly, many people started cheering loudly. Is this bad?
At this time, some people shouted, "Look!"
On the ramp behind the stage, the silver-gray Model S drove up quietly. When it reached the center of the stage, it flicked its tail beautifully, facing everyone.
When the door opened, Musk came down with a microphone, "Hello everyone!"
The scene burst into thunderous applause, but few people were looking at him. They were all looking at the car, which was slowly rotating in the middle of the stage.
"Oh!" The exclamations of "Oh!" were heard endlessly.
"Welcome, friends," Musk's voice was not pleasant, and even his speech was not smooth. He seemed to have a stuttering problem like Paulson, "Next, what you will witness is our relationship with Redefining mobility,”
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful roar (the added simulator) drew everyone's attention to both sides of the stage, where two Model Ss, one black and one white, drove out. Behind them, a helicopter was landing. Let the sea water near the island create waves.
After successfully attracting everyone's attention, the roar stopped. A few seconds later, the roar started again. Soon, two cars were speeding past the two sides of the field like arrows. "Oh!" Is it another large group of people with their mouths wide open and accelerating so fast?
The two cars quickly drove towards the entrance along the straight road. When they reached the end, they braked hard, turned around quickly, and crossed. They exchanged positions, each followed the road the other came from, and sped away again. Come.
Everyone can clearly hear the wind noise they produce.
At this moment, there was a roar in the sky. When I looked up, I saw two jet fighters emerging from the sky and flying over the island at low altitude...
