America's Road to Fame

Chapter 535 The Choice of the Super Factory
To be honest, William Chen is a little uncertain about the situation of the US general election next year.

In the previous life, in the general election next year, the current general was successfully re-elected, but at that time, the subprime mortgage crisis officially broke out in 2008, and that year, he just took office, so after all, The responsibility for the crisis cannot be blamed on him.

In this world, for some unknown reason, the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis was delayed for two years, and it was under the tenure of the current chief.

Although from the current point of view, the peak of the crisis has passed, and the American economy has begun to show signs of recovery, but the impact cannot be ignored.

Therefore, considering these aspects, it is obvious that the Elephant Party will definitely use the subprime mortgage crisis as a spearhead in next year's general election, pointing directly at the weakness of the American government at this time. If this is the case, the result will be a bit confusing.

Originally, these things would have an impact on William Chen, whether the donkey party or the elephant party came to power, but it would not be too great.

He can completely stay out of the matter, at most he will make limited donations for his own support, not limited to parties.

But after coming to America this time, Uncle Tom also brought news of his uncle John Drey.

That is, after Chen William's grandfather, George Dray, will step down as the donkey party's whip recently, his uncle John Dray has received a promise from the current commander-in-chief, that is, if the other party can be re-elected successfully, then in the future In the appointment of the government, John Dray can get a very important position. This promise is very important to John Dray, who is already a member of Congress at this time.

It is precisely because of this that John Drey hopes to get the support of William Chen in it. After all, if it is purely financial, the Drey family at this time is not weaker than the former father-in-law of William Chen, and even stronger. But in terms of public support, the Meta Media Entertainment Group controlled by William Chen is a very important part.

Whether it is the "New York Times" group, or the new online media Reddit and the "American Headlines" app, they can all have a great effect on promoting elections.

If it was four or five years later, and his former father-in-law was so powerful and unstoppable, then William Chen would naturally not bet too much on the donkey party. After all, even if that happened, dear Ivanta would still Another option for him.

But in the current situation, according to the history of the previous life, the current commander-in-chief has already succeeded. Even if there are some changes due to some changes, it does not mean that the situation is completely reversed, and the chances of winning are still not small.

Moreover, the Dre family's ties to his own interests are already relatively deep, and William Chen will naturally choose to place more bets on his uncle's side.

But after all, things come and go, so it's time to rely on the connections of the Drey family to help him stabilize the situation in the United States.

……

"William, I've thought about it. Regarding Tesla's new super factory, Mordor is indeed a good choice."

After arranging these things, he happened to be in Silicon Valley, and William Chen met with his good buddy Musk, and cared about Tesla's affairs by the way.

Musk is still so energetic. It is said that he recently had a hot fight with the Canadian female singer. After caring about the accident of William Chen’s plane crash, he immediately talked about the Tesla super factory:

"However, I think Germany is also a good choice. I plan to start the two factories at the same time, but in terms of funds..."

Uh, the good brother is really straightforward, he came to find himself when he was short of funds...

It's just that for his thoughts, William Chen can only hehe, Germany?Maybe it was still a place for industry in the last century, where are you going to build a factory now?Believe it or not, when the super factory in Shanghai starts to produce new cars off the assembly line, they are still waiting for environmental protection approval.

To be honest, Europe still has such a sigh of relief. After a few years, it will be completely abolished, and it deserves to be reduced to the leeks of the United States.

"I suggest that you first determine the super factory in Shanghai, so that the production capacity can be formed faster."

William Chen is still planning to persuade Musk again. After all, Tesla is a major shareholder. Although Musk owns the operating power of this company because of the AB shares, the economic benefits are real.

"I'm afraid it's not so easy to talk about in Shanghai. After all, the principle we insist on is to build a wholly-owned factory, but in China, there is no precedent for such a foreign-funded car company."

It is not unreasonable for Musk to have such worries now, but he has somewhat underestimated Huaguo’s determination to develop the economy, especially new energy vehicles, as their strategic direction, for the development of related domestic industries, at some point , Huaguo's courage is really not comparable to Europe and the United States.

Regarding Chen William's suggestion, Musk still pays more attention to it, not because of his major shareholder status. The most important thing is that the weight of your words is related to your past record. Chen William has been successful, so he If it is, the other party can't help but ignore it.

Moreover, William Chen has a large amount of investment in Huaguo. It can be said that its scale is no less than that of the United States. Therefore, his words are also very convincing when it comes to matters in Huaguo.

After all, the flow of money will not deceive people. If someone tells you that this stock can rise, you will be skeptical, but when you know that he has bought most of his net worth in that stock, the truth of this statement will be true. The reliability is very high.

So soon, Musk sent a relevant team to the magic capital of Huaguo, and started further negotiations with the local area on the construction of Tesla's super factory.

It’s no wonder that Musk is very concerned about the new super factory. The Tesla Fremont factory in California is currently running at full speed, but the output is still stretched and cannot keep up with the increased orders. Therefore, the speed of their delivery, It has been criticized for a long time. In order to increase production, Musk has carried out large-scale upgrades to the Fremont factory, but it still cannot meet the needs.

At the same time, Musk could not help criticizing William Chen for the production of streamer paint.

Although the production of Liuguangcao's planting plant in Atlanta has undergone several large-scale expansions, and the car paint factory in the Atlanta Economic Zone on Malus Island has also been put into operation, and the second phase has begun construction.

But the problem is that the demand for streamer paint in the entire automotive industry is also increasing. At present, it is only for luxury car brands. The demand for streamer paint has already taken up the bulk of the increase in production, leaving Tesla's production increase , it is more limited.

This is also impossible. Tesla’s Model S was able to be the first to be included in the supply of Liuguang paint, and became the only mid-range model, because William Chen, as a major shareholder of Tesla, took care of.

In the final analysis, when buying luxury brands, Streamer paint can obtain higher profits, so even William Chen cannot favor Tesla without limit. Therefore, the production allocation of Streamer paint still needs to be based on economic interests. Consider.
