My technology affects the whole world

Elon Musk looked at Ma Tian's detailed resume. Known as the Iron Man of Silicon Valley, he looked a little funny.

Yes, funny. He was excited about being interested in Ma Tian, ​​but also felt serious about facing the challenge of Tianming Motors for his Tesla electric car. The two different expressions were combined on his face, so his face looked particularly funny.

Looking at it, Ma Tian is a genius. I really want to visit him first. Musk said to himself.

The blond assistant with big curly hair on the side looked at the side face of the man he admired and said with a smile: That's just the Chinese people praising their own people. How can I compare with you?

Musk was noncommittal about his assistant's praise and said nothing.

Soon, the plane landed at the Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

Tang Mingjiang, the head of Tesla's branch in China, had been waiting for a long time. Watching Musk and his assistant leave the airport, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: Welcome, boss!

Musk also nodded and smiled: Manager Tang, nice to meet you!

The group got on the special car that Tang Mingjiang had arranged, but when they were going there, Musk changed his mind temporarily.

Take me to visit my factory first! Musk said.

The city of Shanghai has specially approved a piece of land for Tesla to build a factory. Construction had already begun before Musk arrived. Not only that, there are also preferential policies such as interest-free loans that favor Tesla.

This does not exist in Ma Tianyuan's world. The butterfly effect has been modifying this world unknowingly.

Okay, boss! Tang Mingjiang nodded, and then asked the driver to change the destination.

About half an hour later, Musk saw his factory that was already in operation, buzzing and bustling.

Tang Mingjiang called the person in charge of the construction site over and brought along a few red hats indicating leadership inspection.

Musk didn't want to bring it because he was afraid of messing up his handsome hair, but he was persuaded by the female assistant to bring it: Boss, safety is the most important thing!

Musk finally put it on and followed the lead of the construction site leader for inspection.

How long will it take to build this place? Musk asked Tang Mingjiangdao, watching an excavator digging a foundation in a deep pit.

About 10 months. If the workers are allowed to work overtime at night, it may be shorter! Tang Mingjiang replied.

So fast? Musk was a little surprised, because if you want to build such a factory in the United States, it may not be completed in 3 years, let alone 10 months.

Tang Mingjiang smiled and said nothing. Is the reputation of China's speed in vain? However, Musk is willing to give money generously, which is much better than many domestic companies.

For example, Musk is paid overtime wages for overtime construction work.

After pretending to inspect a circle, Musk returned to the car with satisfaction, but in his heart he was thinking about how to launch the first shot in the Chinese market.

He does not plan to wait until the place is built before starting to sell cars, but plans to order cars first and then deliver them.

Anyway, he already has finished products in the United States, the only thing missing is the local car manufacturing factory. After all, cars manufactured in the United States and sold to China have to pay high tariffs, so for cost reasons, cars must be built locally and sold locally.

How to open up the first shot of popularity? Musk already has a half-baked plan in mind.

The next day, after resting, Musk called in his assistant and the head of the Huaguo branch, Tang Mingjiang, and told him the plan he had planned last night:

I want to invite all the car companies in China to have a 400-meter acceleration race! Musk said, looking at the two people standing in front of him.

The so-called 400-meter acceleration race is a 400-meter straight track to see which car accelerates and crosses the finish line first.

There are two points of interest, one is the acceleration speed to 100 kilometers, and the other is the fastest speed in the final sprint to the finish line.

400-meter acceleration race? Tang Mingjiang immediately understood the intention of his boss Musk, Boss, you want to use this competition to increase the popularity of Tesla Motors in China, right?

Yes! Musk nodded. Nothing can make you famous faster than a competition. As long as you crush a series of other cars in the competition and get hyped in the news, it will be difficult to become famous.

Of course, this premise is that there are other well-known heavyweight players among the participating cars, such as Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, etc.

As for new energy vehicles, the most famous ones in China are Biyadi and Tianming Motors, but neither Biyadi nor Tianming Motors are involved in the sports car series.

Musk really wanted these two new energy vehicle companies to also send cars to compete, especially Ma Tian’s Tianyu Xinghai. Ma Tian is now one of the most influential figures in China.

Musk really wants to enjoy the thrill of victory like Tianming Motors that crushed Ma Tian in the competition, and if he takes Tianming Motors to the top, his popularity will definitely increase instantly, which will be extremely beneficial to Tesla’s orders!

But will the two companies try to kill each other? Musk rubbed his chin repeatedly and thought.

Tell me, if I invite Beyadi and Tianming Automobile to come to the competition, will the two companies come? Musk asked Tang Mingjiang.

Tang Mingjiang was stunned when he heard this question. From a rational point of view, neither Biyadi nor Tianming Automobile involved sports cars, so they definitely shouldn't participate in the competition.

However, Tang Mingjiang was not sure about Ma Tian. Because Ma Tian can always create something unexpected, and based on what he has heard about Ma Tian, ​​the arrogant Ma Tian will not be cowardly.

Seeing that Musk was still looking at him, waiting for his answer, Tang Mingjiang organized his speech and said: Boss, I think we can try to invite them. Whether they come or not is their business, we have already invited them anyway! If they don’t come, we can still hype up their ‘cowardice’!”

Musk smiled when he heard this answer. Tang Mingjiang had pretty much what he thought, and he invited him first. Regardless of whether they come or not, Biyadi and Tianming Automobile are in a passive position.

…

Invitations for the 400-meter and 100-mile races were quickly sent to various car companies.

Wang Chuanfu, who was at Biyadi headquarters, frowned when he saw Tesla's competition invitation. Of course, he could understand Musk's intentions.

However, now that Biyadi has not even touched the high-end market, where is the sports car series? As for Tesla, I heard that it surpassed the Dodge Viper SRT-10 in the 400-mile acceleration race at Palm Beach International Speedway in the United States.

Isn't this just bullying? Wang Chuanfu felt unhappy! I feel like Musk, a foreigner, is really shameless.

However, if you don't go, you will lose the prestige of Biyadi.

The competition is scheduled for three months. Can Biyadi develop a supercar in three months? Wang Chuanfu was unsure, so he couldn't help but ask Xu Yongbin, the strategic director standing in front of him:

Yongbin, do you think we can build a supercar in three months to participate in Musk's competition?

Xu Yongbin shook his head: Mr. Wang, ignoring him is our wisest choice. We don't have that much money and energy to build a supercar, and investors and shareholders will not agree. Small impatience will mess up big plans, and let Musk Jump, jump, jump again!

Wang Chuanfu sighed and nodded in agreement.

Ma Tian was a little surprised when he saw the invitation letter from Musk handed over by Su Xihua in the office. When he realized that it was Musk's 400-meter acceleration race, he also smiled.

How many dishes does Musk have? Do you dare to challenge him?

If it were in the field of rockets that he had not yet been involved in, Ma Tian would probably have to think more about it, but in the field of automobiles, I am really embarrassed.

Su Xihua didn't know that Ma Tian was hiding a lot of clumsiness, and said with a serious face: Mr. Ma, according to information collected by the Ministry of Information, we learned that Musk's pure electric car model S participated in the Palm Beach 400 Meters in the United States this year. A 100-mile acceleration race without modifications.

It only takes 12.371 seconds to complete 400 meters, and the speed at the collision line is as high as 178 km/h. It only takes 3.9 seconds to accelerate from standstill to 0-96 km/h. This result won the United States National Electric Vehicle Linear Award. Certified by the Racing Association (NEDRA).

The record holder, the Dodge Viper Viper SRT-10, performed mediocrely, with an acceleration of 400 meters in 12.582 seconds and a collision speed of only 168 km/h.

Obviously, Musk came prepared this time and fully wanted to use this competition to open up Tesla’s popularity in the domestic automobile market!

After hearing Su Xihua's speech, Ma Tian nodded in agreement. Musk wanted to take advantage of Tianming Auto, which was a good idea. Unfortunately, he overestimated his model S and underestimated his Ma Tian.

Promise Musk that our Tianming Automobile will participate in this competition. Ma Tian said in a calm tone.

Mr. Ma, the competition only lasts for 3 months, can we make it in time? Su Xihua looked at Ma Tian in surprise. His thoughts were the same as those of Xu Yongbin of Biyadi. Regarding this matter, Tianming Motors had better not participate.

As long as Tianming Motors does not participate, Musk's competition will lose at least half of its meaning. After all, he uses his own strengths to challenge others' weaknesses, which is untenable.

Now, Su Xihua is the general manager of the automobile department, and he and Ma Tian built Tianming Automobile from scratch. He also has a deep understanding of car building.

If you want to build a fast sports car, it is not just a matter of adding a high-horsepower engine. There are many things involved, such as lightweight materials, engines, aerodynamics, etc., all must be considered.

The time is so short, only three months! Although he also knew that Ma Tian had strong research and development capabilities, this time was still too short.

Three months, that's enough! Ma Tian said in a relaxed tone. It would be enough to build a pure electric Tianming car, increase the battery output efficiency, and then optimize the motor system. Ma Tian didn't find it difficult. .

Looking at the confident Ma Tian, ​​Su Xihua chose to shut up. Tianyu Xinghai employees default to the first employee rule, never question Ma Tian.
