Chapter 734: Martin's blueprint.
The CEO of Tesla?
Ye Qing, who was about to return to the Huge Industrial Monster Building, was stunned for a few seconds. To be honest, Ye Qing didn't pay much attention to Tesla. Although Shi Lei Motors and Tesla Motor had a high degree of overlap, the two sides were in a competitive relationship. But extending to the Huge Industrial Monster, the Huge Industrial Monster and Tesla were not an order of magnitude competitors.
Before launching the Shi Lei car, Ye Qing thought that Tesla's products were expensive and the products themselves were limited, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Of course, ~ that didn't mean that Tesla had the same idea. Tesla relied primarily on pure electric vehicles, otherwise, it's tantamount to cutting itself off from its source of income. Therefore, the Huge Industrial Monster was their number one enemy.
"Mr. Martin is in Shanghai?" Ye Qing was a bit strange. It stands to reason that the CEO of Tesla was also an international business tycoon. It goes without saying the president organized a banquet in these small countries. Why did he come to China without any announcement?
At least there was no announcement from the media. Ye Qing was surrounded by a large group of domestic and foreign reporters over the two days. If Martin went to China publicly, they would definitely talk about it and try to find out the purpose of his trip to China so that they might be able to report exceptional news. The media was silent, could it be that he came in secret?
"Since Mr. Martin wants to see me, he can send an invitation letter through company channels," Ye Qing felt that this foreigner's identity could not be faked, but this kind of invitation to send someone was too petty.
"Mr. Ye, please forgive our abruptness. It's just a simple meeting, we can't go through official channels," Assistant Blyth still lowered his head and tried to explain in Chinese: "To be honest with Mr. Ye Qing is that Mr. Martin is here specifically for a chance to meet you, Mr. Ye."
Blyth's attitude was very low. After all, as an assistant to Tesla CEO Martin, if he sent an invitation through official channels to meet in China, no company in China would refuse. Even though the interviews were all about non-nutritious topics and a waste of time, that face had to be given. It's just that Ye Qing listened to the meaning of the stranger, Martin was like a lover secretly dating a man, and there were secrets that couldn't be revealed.
"I'll be at the airport in half an hour and meet in my private jet. I'll postpone the trip for 20 minutes," Ye Qing nodded slightly at the assistant. Since he said that Martin came from the United States to meet him, let him give him the chance to meet him, and the assistant Blyth showed a slightly embarrassed expression, but in the end, he did not dare to ask Ye Qing to give his CEO Martin more time.
Ye Qing got into the car and headed straight for the airport.
At the same time, from a suite at the Wyndham Hotel, a middle-aged man with gray hair and slight wrinkles at the corners of his eyes emerged. It was dark, and the stranger was still wearing a baseball cap. After leaving, a man and a woman approached him; they were standing in front of the door of a neighboring room, kept a respectful attitude, and followed him behind.
Martin, the CEO of Tesla, since a delegation of senior technicians from the Smart Car Lab, reported to him everything that happened in the test center. This year, which is in his fifties and who once made new energy vehicles, and was the world's number 1, could not sit still because the most unexpected thing happened.
Half an hour later, Martin arrived at Shanghai International Airport in a dusty Mercedes-Benz. With the lights near the hangar, he first saw the sci-fi private jet parked in the dark with the Huge Industrial Monster logo embedded on its tail. As a business tycoon, Martin quickly recognized the true identity of the Gulfstream G750 when he saw the dark aircraft and unknowingly began to compare.
It's just the plane in front of him seemed to be a bit different from the Gulfstream G750. With more precise details, Martin did not dare to draw conclusions but felt it was more fluid and more technological than the concept model displayed by Gulfstream. Especially the two engines under the wing, Martin was sure, were violently modified. He also has a private jet, but compared to the one in front of him, he really doesn't measure up.
When Martin stepped forward, the two flight attendants Su Bing and Su Yu, who were waiting at the cabin door, immediately leaned over and made an inviting gesture. After receiving Ye Qing's order, the two immediately searched the Internet for pictures of Tesla's general manager, and they encountered exactly the same as a middle-aged man with a good temperament and good bearing in the pictures in front of them.
"It's nothing, no matter how much the plane costs, it can't have more wings than my Bombardier," reassured Martin before entering the cabin. But when he stepped onto the soft white rug and saw the young man sitting on the couch, nodding and smiling at him. At this moment, Martin felt a sense of restraint and absurdity in his heart. It goes without saying that such extravagant scenes, Martin has not seen.
The prince from across the desert used a Boeing 747 passenger plane to change her into his private plane, and he saw the scene where the toilet is encrusted with gold rims. Even if this thunder is covered with golden bricks, Martin will be unrestrained, but will only make him laugh in his heart. But in the cabin in front of him, he saw no golden decorations, and all he had to do was look up a little to see a magnificent image of the Milky Way.
The image roll covered the entire roof of the cabin, and countless bright starlight formed a nebula, and the nebula was surrounded by a vortex. Every now and then a meteor passed, trailing a dazzling glow. With this roof, Martin had the illusion of being in a spaceship. This kind of high technology he had never seen before was more shocking to him than a hundred golden mountains.
"Mr. Martin, you are welcome." Ye Qing stood up to greet him, the visitor was a guest. Although his company's team members tried to create a stumbling block in the testing center, Ye Qing doesn't need to treat Martin with the same attitude yet.
"Hello, Mr. Ye," Martin took a deep breath, with admiration on his face: "Before the Shi Lei car hit the market, we always believed Tesla was worthy number one, and the gap between us and other automakers in the new energy is five years. However, after seeing the Shi Lei car, we realized we were ten years behind."
Ye Qing invited Martin to sit down, but he changed his posture and said calmly: "Mr. Martin, I don't know why you came all the way from the United States. What are you wanted to talk about?"
"I want to talk to Mr. Ye about two cooperation related to the Shi Lei car," Martin raised his head and said seriously:"We want to join the Shi Lei car networking plan, and we also want to transplant the standards construction of the energy service center for European and American countries."
Ye Qing was a little surprised by this answer: "More specific?"
"Mr. Ye, we Tesla Although car sales in China are unsatisfactory, in Europe and the United States, Tesla car sales have had a steady growth trend," Martin was a little afraid to look at Ye Qing and to set his eyes on the mysterious and unpredictable galaxy above his head: "Maybe Mr. Ye was a little disgusted with our behavior during the first two days of testing, for which I can apologize We are businessmen, and interests are our eternal themes ~"
"~ The benefits are above our personal feelings, I also know that for some reason, Huge Industrial Monster's products cannot be sold in Europe and the United States at this time. So how about let me build the Shi Lei automotive support facilities in Europe and the United States for you? ~"
"~ I believe that when the China market tends to be saturated, Sir Ye, you will again focus your attention on the European and American markets. At that time, the Huge Industrial Monster reached a settlement with European countries and America and will export Shi Lei vehicles, and there will be a ready-to-use network. We will also follow your standards. To build an energy service center that can provide fast charging for Shi Lei vehicles. ~"
"~ This energy service center, we can make a more open and bigger project, it does not serve you and me, it can serve all-new new energy vehicles. ~ and the car networking plan can even integrate traditional fuel vehicles into this plan. Mr. Ye, if you accept more members, your network can cover any corner of the world."
Martin continued his speech for a full three minutes. During these three minutes, his emotions gradually became excited, and he tried planning the plans existing in his mind in front of Ye Qing. There were two planes, one virtual and the other physical!
Two days ago, Shi Lei's car networking plan shocked the world. In theory, as long as the number is sufficient, the Shi Lei car can weave a wireless network in China that only belongs to Shi Lei car users. Now, Martin offered him a more powerful networking solution, inviting more automotive brands to join him. As long as the Huge Industrial Monster can provide mature wireless communication modules, this plan will definitely attract all car manufacturers.
According to last year's statistics, there are about 3 million base stations in China nationwide. But how many cars did China sell last year?
Eighteen million vehicles.
There are six times more base stations than the number of base stations established for decades. If all these cars were installed with the Shi Lei car communication module, the effect will be known thinking about it with your hair. It was the truth in China and was the same for European and American countries.
The second plan is the energy service center, and Tesla is ambitious and wants to build a sufficient number of energy service centers in Europe and the United States, and does not serve Shi Lei or Tesla cars alone. As long as it is a new energy vehicle or even a hybrid vehicle, it can enjoy the fast charging service provided by the service center. If this plan is realized, new energy vehicles will surely open up more development space.
Of course, with Tesla's small body, this plan cannot be realized at all. If Huge Industrial Monster agrees to cooperate, the plan will become a mega project, binding more companies to the char of interest.
"It's a nice plan; it looks like it makes my blood boil." After a few seconds, Ye Qing raised his eyebrows: "In this plane, what advantages can the Huge Industrial Monster gain?"
Hearing the word "benefits", Martin's eyes lit up, and said excitedly: "Standard!"
"In addition to sharing project profits, the Huge Industrial Monster can also lead the standards of these two projects. I don't think there is a second technology company that can temporarily produce such a car as Shi Lei, the same communication module as a car. No second tech company can build a supporting energy service center. ~"
"~The Huge Industrial Monster is the benchmark for both of these blueprints. ~"
"Once it is completed, car manufacturers joining it will have to follow this standard, including our Tesla. And the markets of European and American countries will also be completely open to the Huge Industrial Monster due to common interests."
