this narration is wrong

Chapter 180 Generous

"Really? I thought Mr. Musk would also like the rocket to blow up!" Guo Yuan looked at Musk and said with a half-smile.

In fact, when Guo Yuan saw the relevant news, he got a hint from the narrator.

This rocket has not reached the point where the technology is fully mature within the Musk company. To put it bluntly, it is back to the problem of the pre-SL period. The single-thrust thrust has a bottleneck, and the multi-stage is difficult to control.

This problem cannot be solved well within Musk company in a short time.

But the money has already been spent, and the amount of money spent is still unclear.

The best way to clear up the confusion is to let the rocket blow up.

The Rockets are all out, and naturally they are even.

Of course, Musk didn't just launch rockets to balance the books.

Musk is a standard businessman who seeks profit, so he launches rockets to make money.

What promotes the advancement of human science and technology, and what explores the universe are all lip-service doctrines, but in fact they are all business.

Take this rocket that exploded as an example. On the whole, this rocket flew to a height of 38KM, passed the maxq, and finally self-destructed because of a problem with the separation of the first and second stages. The rocket exploded is definitely not a success.

But if this is an exam with 100 points, Musk got 40 points, because the rocket flew past maxq.

Just rushing to this Musk can make a lot of hype and make a big profit. The change in stock price is the best proof.

After hearing what Guo Yuan said, Musk understood that Guo Yuan also understood the twists and turns.

Musk's expression was a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat and said: "Ahem! Guo, the rocket is not the purpose of my coming to you, I am looking for you for something else."

"What's the matter, Mr. Musk might as well just say it!"

"Okay, Guo, I want to cooperate with you."

"Aren't we already working together? The Crow Protection System and the Star Engine are our cooperation projects!"

"No, Guo's two projects are actually not very interesting to me. You should also know that I don't actually make much money from such small projects."

"What does Mr. Musk mean?"

"Guo, I would like to ask you to help develop L3 autonomous driving." Musk stated his purpose.

"L3 autopilot? Heh! It's a coincidence that Mr. Musk said that just a week before you came to me, a boss from Huaxia also came to me, hoping that I can help develop L3 autopilot technology."

"You agreed?" Musk asked in a daze.

"No, he couldn't accept the conditions I offered and had to let it go."

"What conditions did you offer?" Musk asked.

"I want 15% of his company's shares, but he refused. Of course, Mr. Musk, your Tesla market value is much larger than his company. I can't ask for 15% of Tesla's shares. How can I let My help depends on Mr. Musk’s sincerity.”

After a moment of silence, Musk said: "Guo, I need you to prove that you have the ability to develop L3 autonomous driving, as long as you can prove that I will offer you a price that will make your heart beat."

Guo Yuan smiled and took out his mobile phone and called "02".

Guo Yuan's mobile phone naturally does not have 02, but it is not a problem to install 01 that is many generations lower than his own, and the function of 02 is much behind.

After that, Musk and Fiona experienced the same expression changes as Mr. Lei and Mr. Lu at the beginning.

"How about Mr. Musk, have I proved myself?" Guo Yuan asked after putting away his phone.

Musk and Fiona looked at each other, then nodded.

"So Mr. Musk can say your sincerity?"

After a moment of silence, Musk said: "Guo, to be honest, I planned to give you 1000 million shares before, which is equivalent to 0.5% of Tesla's shares, which is 50 billion yuan in meters, but now 0.5% I think Not enough, I will give you 2000 million shares, which is 1% of Tesla shares.

1% of the shares are already eligible to enter Tesla's board of directors, which means that if you agree with Guo, you will be one of Tesla's shareholders in the future. "

Guo Yuan's expression was a bit weird when he heard the words. To be honest, Musk is a bit too generous. He can take out 1% of Tesla.

And it can also make Guo Yuan a shareholder of Tesla, which is a bit beyond Guo Yuan's imagination.

However, Guo Yuan also knows that there is no free lunch in the world. Musk has given such a condition, so the price that Guo Yuan needs to pay must not be small.

Thinking of this, Guo Yuan asked Musk: "Mr. Musk, you offer such generous conditions, you must first tell me what I need to do? I don't think that developing a set of self-driving technology is worth tens of billions of dollars. "

"I have two conditions. The first share is given to you, and you only have the right to dividends, which cannot be transferred or cashed out. This will be written in the share transfer letter.

Second, the L3 autopilot technology you develop must become Tesla's patented technology, and the relevant patents need to be authorized by Tesla before they can be used. "

"The first condition is okay, but I can't accept the second condition. This patent must be in my own name, and it will not and cannot be given to Tesla." Guo Yuan said without hesitation.

"If you don't agree to the second condition, Mr. Guo Yuan, I can only take 0.5% of the shares here, and you will not be able to enter Tesla's board of directors."

"To be honest I'm not interested in this, and"

"And what?"

"Forget it! It's not important. In short, I can accept 0.5% of the shares and 1000 million shares."

"Since Guo you insist on the relevant patent, I will not force it, but Tesla must have the permanent right to use the patent, and the patent is not allowed to be licensed to new energy vehicles other than Tesla within a certain period of time, 1000 Ten thousand shares is equivalent to buying out the patents for these years."

"How long is the certain number of years?" Guo Yuan asked.

"At least 10 years."

"Then, can I sell these 1000 million shares?" Guo Yuan asked.

"of course."

"Then there's no problem." Guo Yuan agreed without hesitation.

What Musk said was that L3-related patents cannot be licensed to companies other than Tesla. He didn’t say L4, L5 can’t!
Moreover, the patent of L3 is in the hands of Guo Yuan, and Tesla has no chance to use this patent to harvest other companies, and it has not harmed the interests of domestic new energy vehicles.

Guo Yuan has a clear conscience in taking these shares.

No matter how you think about it, this wave is profitable.

Seeing that Guo Yuan agreed, Musk asked Guo Yuan: "Guo How long will it take you to come up with the finished product?"

"About half a year!"

"Just half a year?" Musk was shocked.

Little did he know that what Guo Yuan was talking about here was still talking about the long term. Now most of the technical difficulties of L3 have been overcome, and the remaining ones are mainly based on artificial intelligence, which is not difficult for 01.

　The damage suffered this time was a bit big, and it took a day and a night of emergency repairs to ensure the power problem. The accident has not been completely resolved, and there are only 4000 today.
