Chapter 146 Musk's ambition
"Mr. Han, is the "European Net Zero Carbon Emission Standardization Path Analysis" just now a research result sponsored by you?"

When Han Feng heard this sentence, he was chatting with Leila about some interesting things when they were in school at the lunch meeting. At this time, the strange English accent suddenly came from behind him, which made him feel for a moment that someone couldn't stand it. My own nonsensical "research results" want to punish the traitors.

But after turning around, I found that it was a white man in a suit, slightly fat, with curly hair, and Han Feng looked very familiar.

"I am." Han Feng stepped forward and shook hands with the man in front of him, and at the same time recognized the identity of the man - the founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk.

The latter then shook hands with Leila behind Han Feng, and the three of them found a place where they could sit face to face.

Before Han Feng was reborn, he was just a student. He had only seen each other on the screen, and most of the time he was dressed casually, so he couldn't recognize Musk in the suit and leather shoes at the first time.

"After I heard that report, it was...shocked." Musk's face was full of smiles: "I admire your emphasis and vision on carbon emissions trading and calculation systems, especially carbon neutrality. The concept of this simply sounded the alarm for all mankind."

"Uh..." This kind of compliment made Han Feng almost unable to listen to it: "The concept of carbon neutrality was not first proposed by the project I funded, Mr. Musk, you praised it, in the 90s , This concept has already been proposed by the United Nations, and I only invested in this carbon sink-related research with an attitude of worrying about the future of mankind."

"You are too modest. Of course I know the origin of this concept, but Mr. Han, if it cannot enter the market, it will always be just a cold term. It is you who gave life to this concept. I believe there will be more and more people. Therefore, people pay attention to the topic of carbon emissions, which is related to the future and destiny of mankind."

"Don't say that, the world is material after all, and that report's warning to people is limited after all. I have always believed that carbon emission reduction should not be painful. Only people get real benefits because of carbon emission reduction. They You really take this concept seriously, and your efforts in electric vehicles are really impacting people’s lives."

The business exchange between the two came to an end, and they both showed satisfied expressions.

When Han Feng and Musk complimented each other just now, Leila knew that she should not show too much sense of presence at this time. Judging from the current situation, Europe is accelerating towards extreme environmentalism. It was all beneficial, so she didn't mind pretending to be Han Feng's entourage temporarily, so she took a bottle of wine and two wine glasses from the side at the right time, and placed them in front of the two men respectively.

"Since Mr. Musk came here, he must also care about the... future of Europe?" Han Feng took the wine from Leila and poured it for Musk and himself respectively.

Now that the girl has already lowered her profile on her own initiative, it is naturally impossible for Han Feng to be entangled in those useless things at this time, and finally make some compensation after the meeting is over.

"That's natural." Musk put the bottom of the goblet in his hand, shaking the wine back and forth slightly: "I also sponsored several studies on carbon emission reduction, of course, it is far from being as influential as your report."

"European people's understanding of environmental protection is indeed not deep enough. Until recently, many European companies still use backward and high energy consumption production methods, but people are indifferent to this behavior that destroys their own future," Han Feng also expressed An expression of concern for the country and the people: "So I came here this time, and I actually have the idea of ​​another dose of strong medicine."

After Han Feng finished speaking, he observed Musk who was sitting opposite, and the expression of the latter changed as he expected, which was a sign of interest in this topic.

For Han Feng, although Musk is not as world-famous as he will be a few years later, at least he has already gained a lot of fame because of PayPal and SpaceX. That report was brainwashed.

Instead, he took a fancy to the commercial value behind it, especially for Tesla's commercial value.

You must know that at this time, SpaceX is already quite powerful in the aerospace field, but Tesla is still a company that is unknown and even regarded as a clown by its peers. In the whole year of 2014, Tesla only sold less than 3.3 cars, probably It is only equivalent to the 10-day sales volume of Toyota Group or Volkswagen Group.

For traditional car companies, if it is this kind of sales, they can be packed up and buried directly, but Tesla is different. It has been benefiting from the carbon emissions trading market since 2013, and it can probably sell carbon emissions every year. The right to make hundreds of millions of dollars in profits.

Apparently, Musk felt that was still not enough.

Coincidentally, Han Feng also felt that this was still not enough.

"So, what is Mr. Han's opinion on this...?" Musk raised his cup to greet Han Feng.

"I can't talk about the high opinion. Speaking of which, I have a piece of news that Mr. Musk may be very interested in." Han Feng leaned back on the back of the sofa with his upper body. There is the feeling of crampedness that a few minutes ago: "About the carbon emission standards of the automobile industry."

In terms of personal feelings, Han Feng doesn't like Tesla as a company, but if he puts aside his personal feelings, he now has almost exactly the same interest demands as Musk.

Musk stretched out his hand and signaled Han Feng to continue.

"The United Green Party of Europe is preparing a proposal to reduce the average carbon emissions of vehicles in the EU by 2030% by 37.5." Han Feng said lightly: "Specifically, in the first year after the bill is issued, The average carbon dioxide emission level of 95% of new cars sold shall not exceed 95 grams per kilometer, and this figure shall increase to 100% in the second year."

Musk, who heard the news, narrowed his eyes instantly.

He had never heard of this proposal.

With his status, he is naturally one of the funders behind the European Green Party, but to be honest, Musk didn't think much of these messy guys in the past, so he has never been too concerned, and if this proposal If it really exists, it means that he is a little bit wrong.

"Can you get such accurate information?" Musk was a little skeptical, but Han Feng's expression just now was very natural, and the content of this bill is also extremely true, much like the style that the Europa League will pass.

"My company may not be comparable to Mr. Musk's group in terms of scale, but after all, it is local to the Europa League, and the news on some things is relatively well-informed." Han Feng pretended to be mysterious and said: "If you If there are still doubts about this, I believe that within a few days, the Belgian Parliament will take the lead in passing this bill and submit it to the Europa League Committee for discussion."

In fact, this matter has little to do with poor news, because the content of the proposal was written by Han Feng himself, so it is impossible for him to be unclear.

Originally, this was one of the contents of the last "policy recommendations" part of that report, which analyzed the current fuel consumption of passenger cars in detail, and then converted it into carbon emissions, and then made a [-]% discount on this basis as the current stage The goal.

Because it seemed highly actionable and appeared to have been well researched, Oliver simply removed the entire "policy recommendations" section from the report as a welcome gift to the Greens.

If there is no accident, the Belgian Green Party will propose this bill in the parliament in a few days, and because Oliver and the Dutch-speaking area stand in line, no matter how the French-speaking area chooses, it will definitely be passed.

The only problem is that Han Feng played a logic game in it.

When calculating the current carbon emissions of passenger cars, Han Feng used the publicity data of car companies, and in the implementation part of the regulations, he asked the Europa League Commission to set up a special investigation team to conduct actual inspections on vehicles.

Laughing dead, which oil car can drive to promote fuel consumption?

"If this is the case, it would be good news for me... er, for the future of mankind." Musk replied while thinking about whether he could do something behind the scenes.

And this is exactly Han Feng's purpose - he chose to tell Musk the news without reservation, of course not because he wanted to curry favor with the other party, but because Han Feng's current influence is still limited to Belgium, so The latter is needed, or the American power represented by the latter is fueling the flames across Europe.

In fact, even if Han Feng does nothing, the regulations with exactly the same content will come into effect throughout the Europa League in 2019, but he is obviously unwilling to wait so long.

"However, as far as I know, countries such as Germany, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, which rely on the automobile industry as their pillar industry, will definitely have some criticisms about this bill. Therefore, it is difficult to say whether it can continue to be passed after the Europa League." Han Feng began to be persuasive.

Musk, who is sitting across from him, is such a fine person. Of course, he knows that Han Feng does not really care about environmental protection issues, but hopes to use his resources and influence to promote this bill, and there may be interests behind it.

But as a businessman, Musk doesn't care about being used, as long as it can bring enough benefits.

After all, if the bill is really passed, he will be the biggest beneficiary in the world. With the size of Hanfeng BI Group, even if all the organs are exhausted, he will just drink a few sips of soup.

"Let's be direct, Mr. Han, you must have a specific operation method, why not say it, our interests in this area are completely consistent." Musk is obviously unwilling to continue to go around.

"We want to set up a totem for the Europeans." Han Feng drank the remaining red wine in the glass: "A totem that no one dares to refute."
