Chapter 2947 Another Year of Peach Blossoms
Chapter 797 Another Year of Peach Blossoms
The long and tall factory building was painted in a very high-tech bright silver color. The overall feeling of professionalism and aloofness was intimidating, much like the workshop where aircraft were assembled in the news.
But the two neat rows of red robots in the middle, which were divided into left and right divisions, not only made the factory building and the assembly line that carried them a foil, but also gave the factory building an exciting vitality.
At this time, one arm was raised high, with the same amplitude, facing left and right. Together, it was like two rows of soldiers waiting for inspection, or like the guards in front of the general's tent, preparing to give visitors a show of strength.
But today's visitors had many feelings about them, but they were not afraid. The people gathered behind the stop line desperately used various photographic equipment in their hands to shoot them from multiple angles. Some were curious, some were amazed, and some people's eyes and lenses were all exploring... But the common emotion of everyone was admiration.
It was admiration that came naturally.
This was a better effect than fear.
As a result, no one in the visiting team of hundreds of people made a loud noise at this time, just like the ancients who stood on the high building and were intoxicated by the spectacular scenery they saw from a high place, but did not dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the sky.
But their whispers still echoed above the factory, and the buzzing sound formed by the echo was like the prelude to thunder. The longer it was delayed, the more exciting it was.
At ten o'clock, with a roar, the long two rows of robots suddenly turned at the same time with a "swish" sound, all facing the visitors. "Oh", someone was a little startled, but looking at those honest and powerful guys, facing themselves at this time, they inexplicably felt that they were a little cute.
If I also install one at home... Forget it, in broad daylight, don't dream, this big guy is really not affordable for ordinary people.
There were cheers.
In the passage guarded by these tall robots, a line of colorful cars was quietly approaching. The flashing headlights suddenly lit up everyone's enthusiasm. In an instant, applause and cheers were heard everywhere. The dense flashing lights were dazzling even to the people on the side of the stop line.
Those coming now are the protagonists of today.
The convoy slowly approached. The first car was bright red and stopped steadily in the center. After that, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple came out in a line and lined up neatly on both sides of it.
Exclamations were heard everywhere. Some people were amazed at the gorgeous colors. Even the difficult-to-control green was adjusted so noble and elegant. From this, we can get a glimpse of it.
But those holding the camera were amazed at other aspects. Such a standard and neat parking action was not controlled by the driver. They just didn't hold the steering wheel.
"Autopilot, autopilot," someone couldn't help shouting.
Immediately, a more professional person corrected, "Intelligent driving assistance."
At this time, as if receiving an overall order, the seven cars in front and the convoy in the back channel, the flashing lights, all went out at the same time, and suddenly, someone shouted, "Intelligent voice assistant,"
Because the driver also did not turn off the engine, but just said a word.
Everyone knows this point, and the relevant promotional materials have long introduced this configuration.
But more people did not bother about it at this time, because the drivers have already left.
But why was the first person to get off the car, from the red car in the middle, not Feng Yiping as imagined?
This middle-aged white man in a gray suit... "Oh, Brin!"
That is Sergey Brin, one of the co-founders of Google.
Is he here to support the platform?
Think about it, it seems nothing, what is the relationship between him and Feng Yiping.
Amid the host's introduction and everyone's applause. Brin smiled and waved to everyone, and at the same time motioned everyone to look at the car on the left.
That's right, it was Feng Yiping who got off the white Model S.
He stepped out of the car in a blue suit, smiled and waved to everyone, and suddenly, a huge wave of noise was set off in the factory.
This noise was at least three times louder than when Brin got off the car.
Yes, in the past two years, it is difficult to see Brin outside of Google, but Feng Yiping's appearances in public are also rare.
Moreover, according to the Forbes Global Rich List released three days ago, Feng Yiping won the title of the world's richest man for the second time with a net worth of 123.5 billion.
Only 6.5 billion less than the total net worth of Carlos Slim Helu, a Mexican telecommunications tycoon who ranked second with a net worth of 73 billion, and Bill Gates, a veteran rich man who ranked third with 57 billion.
It can be said that he is absolutely ahead.
Besides, this is China, this is Feng Yiping's home court.
Seeing this noise, Brin pursed his lips and glared helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands. This funny move caused laughter from the audience.
It was also the first time for the people present to see this side of this super-rich guy.
Feng Yiping smiled and hugged him, and gestured to the audience with one hand, hoping that everyone would give more enthusiastic cheers to their friends. Immediately, those well-known practitioners of domestic and foreign media who had names in the media world were as obedient as elementary school students, and followed Feng Yiping's gestures and cheered the loudest they could.
Amid the deafening cheers, Feng Yiping signaled to Brin with his eyes, "Are you satisfied?"
Brin shook him off with some disdain and thanked the audience again... There was laughter again.
The host had to wait for the laughter to stop before introducing, "... Elon Musk," "... Martin Eberhard," "... Tesla China CEO, Mr. Zhao Fang," "Tesla..."
Wearing glasses, sneakers, jeans and a blue suit, Zhao Fang stood in the middle of the motorcade, "Welcome all friends to the official launch day of Tesla's China factory,"
"With the strong support of all walks of life, Tesla's China factory has completed all preparations one quarter ahead of schedule. For this, we sincerely thank you..."
"This is also Tesla's second super factory in the world after the Fremont Super Factory in California was put into production in September last year,"
"Therefore, this can be said to be our 2.0 version of the super factory. As you can see, we have adopted more robots in the four major manufacturing links of stamping production line, body center, paint center and assembly center, which can ensure higher efficiency and higher quality..."
"...We believe that by the third quarter of this year, our two super factories will be able to achieve the highest production capacity in the design. By the end of this year, we will mass produce at least 400,000 vehicles..."
His speech was interrupted by warm applause again.
Tesla, which is leading the field of pure electric vehicles, is now criticized for its production. In China, a large number of consumers who are waiting to buy are really waiting like giraffes.
"So I announce here," Zhao Fang took a few steps excitedly, "our Chinese official website will accept reservations from all users from this moment on,"
"Oh!" "Yeah!" The cheers were long-lasting.
There were many people at the scene who were Tesla fans. It was really that they had waited for a long time and finally waited until today.
Brin in the back row leaned close to Feng Yiping's ear, "How many reservations will there be today?"
"I don't care about these issues. Is the data important?" Feng Yiping said very calmly.
Brin looked at his extraordinary state of mind and wanted to pinch him. Can you die if you don't pretend to be 13?
"I'm just a little worried that our official website will be down,"
Brin suddenly felt very speechless, so, you don't care?
Feng Yiping nodded quickly to a place in the crowd. Vincent, who was standing diagonally across from him, wearing a baseball cap and holding his almost two-year-old brother, smiled knowingly.
Amanda, who was 9 years old and thin, happened to take a photo of her father's greetings with her mobile phone.
She immediately sent the photo to her mother in the United States on Facebook.
She waited for more than a minute, but she didn't get a reply from her mother. She suddenly felt a little unhappy.
She suddenly felt that something seemed wrong?
After looking around, why was it so quiet?
Because everyone was stunned by what Zhao Fang said just now, "... We have been committed to developing cleaner travel methods. In order to allow more people with lofty ideals to participate in this industry and to make our earth bluer, I announce on behalf of Tesla that from now on, Tesla will open all electric vehicle patents without reservation."
Everyone was still a little stunned at this time. Open patents? Is this true?
Open the patents that have been developed with great effort and huge manpower and material resources to everyone, that is, including competitors?
Is it possible?
Everyone felt a little absurd at this time.
They confirmed again that today was not April 1st.
The momentary silence did not make Zhao Fang disappointed. He wanted such a shocked and speechless scene, "... to help jointly maintain and support the development of the electric vehicle industry, better cope with environmental changes, and actively solve the energy crisis..." He continued to speak.
Looking at Feng Yiping's calm eyes behind him and thinking about what he had done before, many people immediately knew that this was true! It was really true!
Zhao Fang's speech was interrupted by the applause of people who came back to their senses.
This is Feng Yiping, always so generous and so confident.
So, the spring of pure electric vehicles seems to have arrived!
Looking at Feng Yiping standing quietly in the back, many people felt very proud again. They were all thinking that they should ask him this question first.
Hum, do you think you can be a background quietly by standing in the back?
…………
It was almost 12 o'clock when Feng Yiping finally got out of the Tesla factory. Since he decided to stand for Tesla in person, he must try his best to meet the requirements of the media.
As soon as he got in the car, he opened an Android tablet, "...Latest news, the No. 2 unit of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant has been confirmed to have exploded..."
