America's Road to Fame

Chapter 65 Is This Chip Enough?

"I'm going to bed, good night, see you tomorrow."

When Chen William returned to the living room after taking a shower, he saw a short message from Ivanta on his mobile phone.

He picked up the phone and was about to reply when he noticed that the message was sent 10 minutes ago, thought about it, and deleted the letters he typed.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled a certain scene in his previous life. William Chen stood there in a daze. With a thought, he immediately opened the App Store of his mobile phone and searched for WhatsApp, but there was no result.

Then he continued to browse in the AppStore, but did not see the APP he wanted to find.William Chen turned on the computer, connected to the Internet, and after searching, he was sure that such an app like this had not yet appeared, so he couldn't help but get a little excited.

William Chen stopped when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Ivanta?Isn't she asleep?

Thinking of this, William Chen walked to the door, opened the door, and saw a person standing outside.

"Alicia?" William Chen raised his hand to look at the time, it was past ten o'clock in the evening: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"May I go in? William, I want to talk to you again."

William Chen hesitated for a moment, and glanced at Alicia with a firm expression on his face: "Okay, come in."

He made room for Alicia to walk by him, and a faint fragrance entered William Chen's nose, which made him rub the side of his nose.

When the two sat down on the sofa, William Chen looked sideways at Alicia, but saw an amazing scenery... Uh, this elegant lady is really bold, and now it turns out to be...a vacuum?
Noticing William Chen's gaze, Alicia bit her lip and said, "I've thought it through, William, and I will try my best to rescue Pete."

"Oh?"

"Because I have known him all these years together. Although it really happened between him and those women, he will not make any mistakes in terms of money, so he will at most be fined for recruiting prostitutes. There is jail time. Even if you need to resign, you still have the opportunity to seek another position."

William Chen was very happy to see that Alicia's professional calm had finally returned.She was heard continuing:

"But after this incident, I will not forgive what he did."

"Are you going to divorce him?" William Chen asked.

"It might not be the best choice, but at least I won't accept his filthy body anymore. You know, William, since I saw those pictures of him, what he did with those whores, saw him , thinking I've slept with this person makes me sick."

"Anyway, you are a smart woman, Alicia, and I believe you will make the most appropriate choice."

"Now I want to talk to you about your business. Frankly speaking, William, I need those businesses very much." Alicia looked at William Chen and said:

"I admit that I had planned to start a law firm by myself before, so you should now understand why I didn't directly sign a long-term contract with you at that time. And I know that those people in the firm also have the intention of doing my little tricks. I noticed that they would not say anything because of Pete, but now it is different, and I have clearly felt that the time for me to leave there is coming soon, either I resign voluntarily, or they fire me."

"So you need my business here to let your law firm start smoothly, right? But you shouldn't only have my business, right? What about those clients?" Chen William was a little surprised before, why is it here? At that point in time, Alicia insisted on leaving the previous firm and started her own law firm. Now he finally figured out the ins and outs.

"Hmph, they..." Alicia sneered, and said, "They were just like you. They gave me the business because of Pete. After this incident, they all started to make excuses."

"Then you're sure I won't be like them?"

"I understand your situation, William, you don't care who you give these businesses to, as long as you have enough ability, what you care about is whether the other party can trust you enough."

"How do you ensure that I can trust you? Alicia." William Chen asked with interest.

"I can let you take a stake in my law firm."

Hearing her words, William Chen shook his head and said, "That law firm is not that important to me, and if you choose to betray me, it's not enough leverage."

"Then..." Alicia faced Chen William, her clear and dignified face showed a bit of charm, she gradually approached, and said in her mouth, "What if I become your woman?"

William Chen had just taken a shower, and now he was wearing a satin bathrobe in the hotel. He felt Alicia's hand stretching in from under his bathrobe.

"Alicia, you..." His breathing began to come short.

Alicia kept her arms, got up and knelt in front of William Chen, she looked straight into his eyes, and said, "William, I will only be your woman in the future, is this enough chips?"

She looked down, a look of surprise flashed across her elegant face, and she bit her lip unconsciously...

……

The next day, William Chen and his team went to Tesla's headquarters as agreed.

When she left the hotel, Alicia was still calm and elegant as usual, which made William Chen almost think that the crazy and passionate woman last night was his own hallucination.

Alicia greeted Ivanta and chatted a few words, and then everyone got into four cars and drove to Palo Alto, which is the heart of Silicon Valley.

From the location of Tesla’s headquarters, it can be seen that the entrepreneurial team of this energy car company uses IT concepts to build cars, which is different from the traditional car manufacturers represented by Detroit.

When William Chen was in his previous life, when Tesla was mentioned, people often thought of the very character Musk, and it was easy to think that he founded the company.In fact, this is not the case at all. Tesla was first founded in July 2003. The founders were Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning.

And Musk got in touch with Tesla in the second year. At that time, Tesla encountered difficulties in the early stage of car manufacturing. Someone introduced Musk to them, and then the other party took a fancy to this project. Musk Proposed to invest 630 million US dollars in Tesla, the condition is to serve as the company's chairman and have the right to make decisions on all company affairs.

So from that time on, Tesla began to become Elon Musk's Tesla.

When a group of people arrived at Tesla's headquarters, William Chen met the man who was called "Modern Iron Man" in his previous life. Musk received them warmly, and let William Chen take a test ride in the Tesla that was delivered a year ago. Tesla's first mass-produced car - the electric supercar Tesla Roadster.

It took 5 years for this car to go from research and development to mass production.However, the mass production of Tesla Roadster did not bring profits to Tesla, because Tesla sells electric cars, which is a bit similar to selling "carved flowers", and it began to accept reservations a long time ago.

At the time, the company expected the car to cost around $7, so it set a price of $10.As a result, after the official mass production, it was found that the cost was as high as 12 US dollars per car, so Master bit the bullet and announced that the price of Tesla Roadster had been increased to 11 US dollars.

This decision aroused strong dissatisfaction from users who booked cars with prepayment at that time. At the scene of car sales, Musk almost fainted under the siege of angry users.But the most frustrating thing is that even with such a great pressure of public opinion, the Tesla Roadster, which sells for $11, still brings a loss of more than $1 for every car sold.

So until now, Tesla has been yelling at Musk all the way, looking for money in various ways, and has survived until now.This buddy is also a ruthless person. In order to develop Tesla, he even invested his last 6000 million US dollars in this year.

From when Musk first invested in Tesla, he asked himself to obtain all the rights of the company. It can be seen that this "Iron Man" has a strong desire to control the projects he is optimistic about.But it is such a person who is more likely to succeed.
