Reborn Millennial Gamer

As the sun set and the evening breeze picked up, four Models formed a convoy and drove neatly to the holiday villa.

Musk walked out of the Model S with the license plate "00001" and saw an oven and grill set up in the yard. The chef was grilling steaks and skewers, and the aroma was wafting.

"Hey Elon, try this, just for you!"

Lu Fei was holding a plate full of fragrant skewers.

"Thank you!"

Musk's eyes lit up, he grabbed the meat skewers and ate happily.

As the major shareholder, Lu Fei waved his hand and greeted the Tesla employees who followed Musk. While holding the string, he said: "I heard that you recently proposed a Mars colonization plan. In 15 to 20 years, 8 people will be colonized." Is it possible to send people to Mars?"

"Hey, others may not know, but you don't know." Musk showed a shrewd smile, "Otherwise, how can we grab more orders from NASA, how can we get more orders from the federal and state governments? With so many subsidies and tax breaks, how can we get loans and funds from Wall Street capital and banks." After saying that, he chewed on the burnt steak.

"You, you."

Lu Fei shook his head and laughed.

He talks about ambition, but his heart is all about business.

"Of course, the most important thing is to use the Mars colonization plan to build momentum for Tesla. SpaceX relies solely on orders from NASA and the funds injected by you and Larry, which is far from enough. Tesla also needs blood transfusions for spaceX!"

Musk took a sip of cold beer.

"Speaking of Larry, he and I are very satisfied with the Model S's goal of completing mass production as scheduled. Although Tesla is still losing money so far, and its cumulative losses even increased to US$8150 million last year, I still proposed to the board of directors, Develop a 10-year equity incentive plan for you."

Lu Fei ordered the soft, tender and fragrant chicken wings.

"real?!"

"Is it still fake?"

"Lu, I... I really don't know how to thank you, I'll give you a toast!" Musk raised his glass excitedly.

"Don't drive when you drink, don't drink when you drive. Let's have a drink later. Now let's take a couple of laps."

Lu Fei took out a tissue and wiped his mouth.

No matter what country you are in, drinking culture is indispensable. Of course, America has more fun. In China, when Hawking comes, he can only stand up and toast two glasses. But in America, not being able to stand up is a matter of ability, and whether he can stand or not It seems to be a matter of attitude.

"No problem at all."

Musk's mouth was full of oil.

The two walked straight to the first Model S and walked around it, making introductions and looking at it.

The four-door Coupe's styling design, streamlined body, and Porsche's Panamera feel, with aggressive headlights and exaggerated large-size wheels.

"The interior uses Nappa leather seats and carbon fiber trim panels...the biggest highlight is the central control platform."

Musk pointed to the huge LCD screen on the central control, "The chip is designed and produced with multiple cores, and we adjust it accordingly."

"How do you feel after experiencing it?"

Lu Fei took a closer look and found that everything from Here map navigation and other software to the entire vehicle system and even supporting chips and components came from logic. This was just the beginning.

"It's very good. The concept of the Internet of Vehicles has been hyped for four or five years, either falling into a price war or failing to gain traction. Now I finally see a real Internet of Vehicles product." Musk gave a thumbs up in praise.

"Because the Internet of Vehicles requires an easy-to-integrate, compatible, and high-tech communication module solution, thanks to Logic's previous acquisition of Nortel Networks and its cooperation with Huawei."

Lu Fei stretched out his finger and swiped the screen, "It is equipped with the ME4T vehicle module based on LTE 909G."

"It can be said that you have created a revolutionary breakthrough in the basic equipment support platform for the Internet of Vehicles. Lu, are you planning to let Logic become the Bosch of the new energy vehicle era?"

An intriguing light flashed in Musk's eyes.

"To be precise, I am a good nanny for you new energy vehicles. Logic does not build cars, but helps car companies build good cars."

Lu Fei had a mysterious smile on his lips.

In the 3G era, the network speed is too slow, which limits the Internet of Vehicles and leads to insufficient user experience, so naturally they don’t buy it.

Moreover, these days, the development and upgrade intervals for IT products such as navigation systems, traffic monitoring systems, entertainment audio and video systems, and instant messaging systems should be measured in months, but the development cycles of automobile manufacturers are calculated in years.

For example, when conducting reliability experiments on mobile phones, the maximum time is generally 480 hours. However, for a vehicle-mounted module with a basic support platform, the optical reliability test needs to reach about 3000 to 4000 hours, not including the test failure. Without re-developing the time it takes to correct, this results in——

Vehicle-mounted products, even industrial-level solutions, are still unable to adapt to long-cycle products such as traditional oil trucks.

After all, how much manpower, material and financial resources have to be invested in the development of front-end vehicles and back-end applications. Which traditional car company is willing to spend so much money, and the only ones are Logic and Huawei with deep pockets.

"car key."

Musk wiped his mouth and hands and got into the car with a shy stomach.

Lu Fei turned the key and drove familiarly. He gradually stepped on the accelerator and drove around the villa several times.

"It accelerates pretty fast."

"Hey, it is equipped with an electric engine composed of a 42-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. It only takes 5.6 seconds to accelerate to 257 kilometers, and the rated endurance is kilometers..."

"What about the price?"

"$5.74."

"The same price as a Porsche Panamera?"

Lu Fei braked lightly and let the car slow down slowly.

"Although the price was set a bit higher, the sales volume still exceeded expectations. We estimate that the annual sales volume of Model S can reach 2 units." Musk shook his head proudly.

"I'm afraid it will not be easy to achieve sales of 2 vehicles per year. After all, the Tesla brand is very unfamiliar to consumers and cannot be accepted immediately." Lu Fei stopped the car.

Musk opened the car door, "So, we need to rely on spaceX to promote Tesla's image, and we also need to rely on the celebrity effect of big names like Larry, Gates, and you."

"Which company did you purchase this lithium battery from?"

Lu Fei walked to the front of the car and touched the hood.

"Electric vehicles like General Motors and Ford use lithium-ion battery packs from LG, but we are different. Tesla chooses Panasonic." Musk raised his hand, "It's not like we haven't considered your recommendation. The Ganxi era, or BYD's lithium iron phosphate batteries, but we prefer lithium batteries, which have extremely high energy density, long life, and good temperature characteristics..."

"How about safety? Will it catch fire easily?"

Lu Fei glanced playfully.

"Fire? How is it possible? Impossible!"

Musk smiled and waved his hand, "Absolutely impossible!" "Is it really safe?" Lu Fei narrowed his eyes.

"I guarantee absolute safety and security in the name of God!"

Musk vowed to do so.

…………

"Mr. Lu, the three Model Ss you gave us for testing have all been disassembled in all aspects. We can draw a firm conclusion that the batteries have serious fire hazards."

On the phone, Wang Chuanfu's serious voice came out.

"What caused it?"

Lu Fei was not surprised and curled his lips.

After getting the Model S, I neither indulged in Wenrouxiang nor was distracted by the NBA Finals. Instead, I immediately arranged to have three of the cars packed and transported to Pengcheng, where I worked overtime at BYD's automobile factory. Add some ground to break it up.

It’s just that Tesla is not famous now, otherwise it would have to publish a book dismantling BYD Seal like neon Toyota.

Selling for 40,000 to 50,000 RMB!

“The Model S battery relies on cooling coils to regulate temperature, but the end joints of the cooling coils are made of weak aluminum, which sometimes forms tiny pinholes at the welding joints of the male and female parts of the end joints… which can easily lead to The battery is shorted, or flammable residue is left inside the battery.”

Wang Chuanfu explained seriously: "If the coolant leaks into the battery module, it will also cause the battery to be scrapped."

"It seems that Tesla deliberately concealed this."

Lu Fei smacked his lips, "Where is BYD Qin?"

"There is absolutely no problem with the battery."

Wang Chuanfu said confidently: "Battery is BYD's basic product. It can be said that there are few competitors in the world. If we have to talk about it, the domestic rival is the 'Ganxi Era' where Mr. Lu invests heavily." "

"BYD Qin did a good job this time, especially the logo and exterior design. As long as the LTE license is issued next year, it can be equipped with the vehicle-mounted module ME909T like the Model S."

Lu Fei glanced at Liu Yifei and Liu Shishi who were like sleeping beauties on the bed, walked to the balcony softly, and closed the sliding door.

"Alas, in fact, if it weren't for BYD's strategy, which requires it to acquire upstream and downstream suppliers, integrate its vertical supply chain, and first launch the K series of electric bus buses, if it could purchase parts from all over the world like Tesla, Qin would definitely be better than Model S should be launched earlier and better."

Wang Chuanfu was very unconvinced.

"Who makes BYD the Chinese new energy vehicle company?"

Lu Fei sat on the recliner and crossed his legs.

Generally speaking, no car company is willing to manufacture parts by itself. Most will choose to outsource, especially the giants. They only need to master the research and development of engines and gearboxes, which is equivalent to a car design and assembly company, because it can greatly reduce costs.

Even Toyota and Volkswagen will not be as crazy and all-encompassing as BYD's vertical integration model of the entire industry chain.

But it was forced out. After all, there are choices, and who would be willing to do so? If the domestic automobile industry is not strong, the brand cannot keep up, and the technology cannot keep up, naturally it can only be purchased from other supply chains. Naturally, I can't stand upright when it comes to price negotiations.

Naturally, the cost cannot be controlled and it is doomed to a dead end.

This is the reason why domestically produced cars cannot beat joint venture cars in the era of traditional oil trucks. The Japanese and German supply chain systems tightly control the procurement and production costs of domestically produced cars.

In the era of electric vehicles, the same is true.

Wei Xiaoli is like this, and so is Xiaomi's su series.

Even if the cost cannot be restrained, the first car of a young person is not priced at RMB 9.98, nor RMB 19.98, but RMB 40!

"Mr. Lu, now BYD can solve the problems of batteries, motors, electronic controls, molds, chassis and auto parts, especially high-power motors and efficient electronic controls. It can be independently developed and manufactured." Wang Chuanfu said, half showing off and half distressed, " Now I’m thinking about whether I should do the lights and cockpit myself?”

"Calm down, let logic take care of this."

Lu Fei smiled and said: "In the field of electric and electronics, I will not force BYD to use logical technology, but in other aspects, we can complement each other's advantages as much as possible, such as this car light."

"I completely agree. In this way, BYD can save costs and introduce new products faster."

Wang Chuanfu has no doubt that he is there, after all, seeing is believing.

I have witnessed with my own eyes the horror of logic in the automotive field, from chassis, laser radar, smart cockpit, to three electrical systems, electronic and electrical architecture, from semiconductor chips to high-end autonomous driving, intelligent driving platform and other solutions...

From the inside out, from hardware to software, either it has been developed and updated, or it is being developed and lined up to be launched.

Perhaps in terms of batteries, BYD relies on technology accumulation to lead the logic, but the independently developed motors, electronic controls and chips are better than BYD, not to mention more impressive chips, communications, cloud computing, software, system ecology and other fields. It is more than just a leader. .

Simply, far ahead!

In contrast, other domestic car companies do not have such overall R&D and integration capabilities. They can only purchase parts from different brands and then invest a huge amount of software development time and cost in adaptation, which may not necessarily be deployed well.

What's more important is that the father who holds the core technology will immediately face the dilemma of cut off supply of parts and components if he loses his face.

"Okay, very good. BYD will be the 'Toyota' and 'bba' of new energy vehicles. Logically speaking, it will be the 'Bosch' of this new era. We all have a bright future."

Lu Fei thought that the combination of logic and BYD was at least an enhanced version of the integration of Wenjie and BYD, and couldn't help but want to say something.

In today’s world of new energy vehicles, only BYD and Huawei are

It can stand on three pillars with logic!

"But Mr. Lu, I'm curious about one thing. Where did you get so many automotive electrical and chip talents?"

Wang Chuanfu was very curious.

"Huawei used to have a subsidiary called 'Ansheng Electric', which was fully acquired by the American Emerson Company. A group of Huawei people left, changed jobs, and started businesses. They founded Inovance, INVT, and Sanjing, covering industrial control, The fields of optoelectronics and frequency converters can be regarded as the Huangpu Military Academy of China Electric, and I just give them funds, platforms, and opportunities."

Lu Fei concealed his logic and cooperated fully with Huawei.

"Hey, then I'll dig some out too!"

There was a hint of longing in Wang Chuanfu's tone.

"We should accumulate more in R&D and patents. When electric vehicles take off, we will be able to completely explode. With accumulated accumulation, we will be able to make further progress."

Lu Fei patted the chair handle and said, "Wait, let's first let taxi-hailing apps like Shunfeng cover taxi and private car drivers across the country, and then cooperate with the national new energy vehicle purchase subsidy policy and precise subsidies. By then, it will be BYD's spring. .”

"Haha, that's not the spring of logic."

Wang Chuanfu laughed along and promised from the bottom of his heart that as long as BYD can be used, such as supporting Shunfeng, he will definitely go through fire and water.

"Tailwind, maybe it won't be long before the second phase of the taxi-hailing software war will begin."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Fei returned to the bedroom and saw no one on the bed, and playful laughter floated from the bathroom.

So I strode forward and heard the sound of running water.
