Chapter 363 Change the World
The tall man answered and said: "Well, Martin, I have to say that AC Coconi's idea is really good, but he has no interest in continuing to develop it, nor is he willing to build such an electric car for us. Just the two of us, it was very difficult to find the investment and materials needed to make an efficient electric sports car."

Martin's depressed voice sounded, and said: "Yes, according to our conservative estimates, the initial research and development will require an investment of millions of dollars. Even if the battery is completely used for laptop batteries, it will take several years for the battery control system to fully meet the commercial needs. Not to mention the matching research and development between the multi-stage gearbox and the high-voltage and high-power electronic control system, it is a bottomless pit of burning money."

The burly Mark said: "Coconi from AC told us to introduce us to a very interested venture capitalist. Elon is a big boss in Silicon Valley, but his conditions are too harsh and he directly wants us to make the final decision on everything. And the equity should also take the bulk, and serve as the chairman."

Martin looked even more depressed, and said sullenly: "But if we don't agree, it's absolutely impossible. We have no money in our accounts. I invested $15 in AC Company, which is only enough to get their transmission system authorization. Our team has no money to continue. , even though we know that we can rival Ferrari and Porsche's super electric sports car, there is no technical difficulty that cannot be overcome."

Just when the two big men were downcast, Verus coughed and interjected: "I'm sorry, I heard your conversation, can I talk to you about the topic you just talked about? If you don't think it's presumptuous .”

Martin barely pulled himself together and said, "Oh, it's okay, Verus, are you also interested in electric cars?"

Verus smiled and said, "Not only am I interested, I also know that your company logo is a capital T."

Martin and Mark were taken aback. The number of their small company was less than 20, and the company name and logo had never been released or publicized at all. This really surprised them.

Verus quickly explained: "Don't worry, I'm friends with Larry and Sergey from Guge, and they mentioned you to me."

Suddenly realized, Martin smiled and said, "I see, no wonder, Verus, you also want to get an electric car toy, don't you?"

Mark also laughed and said: "Yeah, we have seen too many super rich people on their private driveways in Silicon Valley. There must be a Toyota Prius parked next to their super sports cars. I know you rich people , very dissatisfied with the environment and reality."

Verus laughed: "I'm not super rich, but I'm really interested in building a super electric car, which will completely change the entire human world."

Martin was a little surprised and said, "Manufacturing? I'm sorry, did I hear you wrong, Verus, what do you mean?"

Verus said: "Well, yes, it is indeed manufacturing, which makes the blue sky bluer and the air cleaner. The future of electric vehicles will be unlimited."

Half an hour later, Mark and Martin sat in Verus's office facing the sea. Verus made a cup of coffee for each of them, and the three of them sat around talking enthusiastically.

Mark blushed with excitement, and said: "Verus, your vision is too precise and too advanced. Talking to you for a few minutes is equivalent to our exploration in the dark for many years. Wow, it's incredible."

Martin also answered immediately and said, "Yeah, your ideas and opinions are too forward-looking. On the one hand, you will launch a super electric sports car for branding and popularity; on the other hand, you will launch a cheap urban car that can beat all gasoline cars A commuter car, it's crazy."

Mark grabbed the words and said, "If something like this really happened, I believe those giants in Detroit would hire tens of thousands of killers and completely destroy us hundreds of times."

Verus smiled and said: "This is really possible. It costs [-] US dollars to purchase a gasoline car, and it will cost at least [-] to [-] US dollars to use it in the next ten years. As long as the quality of the electric car is reliable, it will only sell for [-] US dollars. The cost is only a charging fee, which is negligible compared to maintaining a gasoline car."

Martin said: "Yeah, we just want to build a super sports car that can beat Ferrari and Porsche, but Verus, you think too far and too far, you have already thought of ten or twenty years later."

Verus said: "If you are willing, I am willing to invest in your T company in my personal capacity. The money I can give will not be less than that Elon, but I don't ask so much from you, but in the end The decision-making power and equity of the company must be acquired by me, and this is not for the purpose of kicking you away in the future, I can guarantee this."

Martin and Mark looked at each other, and Martin said first: "We believe every word you say, your Pandora company has become the idol worshiped by everyone in Silicon Valley, everything you do, and the super giant you created The scene, let us believe that your vision has far exceeded this era."

Mark also said: "If you are willing to invest in us, of course we wish for it. Larry from the ancient song once told me that if there is anyone in the world who he can trust 100% without hesitation, it must be Pandora Verus, I didn't expect to see the deity today."

Verus smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "I will spend 1000 million US dollars in the first phase. I only need 70% of the equity, and you two 30%. I have a certain degree of confidence in the follow-up production plant and engineering infrastructure. Department's way."

Martin's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "You're talking about a low-interest free loan from the Ministry of Energy? This is funding with almost no interest. Even the car factories in Detroit and the little devils can't meet the requirements of the Ministry of Energy."

Verus smiled and said: "What we do is exactly what the country needs most, not only these, but also landing on Nasdaq, IPO, and selling to every corner of the world, and truly unlimited Polluting solar energy vehicles do not use electricity, and electricity will actually cause loss and pollution.”

The burly Mark jumped up and shouted: "Great, let's change the world together."

The three hands clasped tightly together, Verus said: "My lawyer is on his way, I suggest that your team must expand immediately, I need you to increase the number of R&D engineers and designers to 15 within 150 days more than 3000 people, and within three months, there will be at least three major system teams and [-] independent laboratories."
