Considering that the world's largest automobile sales market will be in the mainland in the future, the largest battery manufacturing market will also be in the mainland, combined with a stable business environment, as well as taxes, production costs, R\u0026D talents and other factors.

Suri does have many reasons to try to move Tesla to domestic development.

The key point is to not only reduce initial R\u0026D investment, but also avoid being suppressed by established automobile giants and oil suppliers.

Take it easy at the beginning.

After it has mature technology and car-making experience and forms large-scale competitiveness, it will then consider building super factories in North America, Europe and other places to integrate into the local market and seize the market.

In Suri's eyes, this is the most cost-effective way to treat the mainland as a base and seize the global market under the guise of a US company.

With traditional car companies standing in the way, it is difficult to get policy support from Washington.

Various vested interests are intertwined, especially when it comes to the interests of oil companies. It’s a blessing not to be held back.

If you do business in the United States for a period of time, you will find that the mainland market is more inclusive and can become the world's factory. It is not without reason and can reduce many unnecessary troubles.

For example, employee unions, official censorship, malicious lawsuits, etc. in the United States, even just thinking about it gives Suri a headache. Recently, the crew of "The Walking Dead" faced prosecution for scaring young people. This is actually one of the new forces being suppressed by the established giants. miniature.

Almost all major television stations and Hollywood film and television companies do not want Netflix Entertainment to truly develop.

Su Rui took over as the boss, but I also heard that other senior executives of the company are struggling to deal with the so-called "protection of minors" issue. Some congressmen used the lack of supervision of online TV as an excuse to try to limit the development of Netflix Entertainment to avoid affecting the The physical and mental health of young people.

It’s like how strict the supervision is when browsing other websites.

There are all kinds of dirty tricks emerging one after another, and it is estimated that there will only be more and more until Netflix Entertainment completely establishes a foothold.

Compared with the online television industry, the automobile industry is undoubtedly more important and faces greater resistance than Netflix Entertainment.

Although Suri didn't know much about Tesla in his previous life, he only rode in a friend's car, but when he was surfing the Internet, he heard about it being shorted and sued. It wasn't until he went to Shanghai to build a factory that the mass production problem was solved. Live a good life and begin to enter a virtuous cycle of business conditions.

Suri only finds these annoying things annoying and affecting her quality of life.

Even if Elon Musk really figured it out and wanted to package and sell Tesla, Suri didn't want to take over it himself. At most, he would form a new team to take charge of management. He would take some time to conduct remote control and help make suggestions.

In order not to appear too shrewd.

When she went to dinner that night, Suri wore jeans, a sweater, a windbreaker and new coconut shoes. She looked more like a fashion star than a businessman.

It’s already very cold in Silicon Valley in December. After the sun sets, the temperature is only about 5 degrees Celsius, and the wind feels cool on your face.

When we arrived at the restaurant by car, it was beautifully decorated.

High-end Indian cuisine, this is a mysterious area that even Suri doesn't know much about.

In his impression, Indian food is either crushed into a paste or full of curry flavor. No matter what ingredients are associated with the legendary Indian left hand, it is difficult for people to have appetite.

But when Suri showed up.

The blond, blue-eyed white chef who was greeting the guests soon came over to welcome him with a smile.

This made Suri feel relieved instantly, and he also understood why this Indian restaurant was awarded two Michelin stars.

Elon Musk witnessed the whole process of him entering the store.

He was recognized from the door, and people greeted Suri all the way. This kind of popularity is difficult for even Zuckerberg to achieve, let alone Musk, who is not famous.

Many super rich people are condescending and inhumane, which is quite annoying.

Suri is different. Not only does she sing beautifully, but she also often shares her life online without the airs of a big shot.

Rather than being a pure businessman, people like to regard him as a singer with great investment vision. In addition, the chicken soup articles such as "Fighting with fate during illness before writing an immortal album" have widespread influence, which invisibly raises the bar. His image in the eyes of the public.

Even Elon Musk can't help but envy Suri's good luck at this moment. He successfully invested in companies such as Facebook and made money just by having fun.

On the other hand, Musk started his business in the mid-1990s and has been working hard for more than ten years. His net worth is less than one-fifth of Suri's, which inevitably makes people mentally unbalanced.

The two smiled and exchanged some polite words, then took off their coats and sat down.

A Latina waiter with a sweet dimple in her smile brought a bottle of Perrier-Jouët champagne, saying that it was given to Suri at the chef's command.

There was a napkin pressed under the wine bottle, and as expected, there was a series of numbers written on it.

Seeing Suri stuffing the napkin into his pocket, Musk said with emotion:

"Wow, as expected of you. I just sat here for a few minutes and was only given a glass of water."

Suri said with a smile:

"You should try to be a star. Then you will be known by many people. Why don't you order some food first? I'm very hungry now, so I don't care about etiquette anymore. Don't be surprised."

Musk is still young and does not have a rigid personality. He smiled and said:

"Please feel free to do so. I also eat a lot. I recommend you try the Indian hand-caught mutton. The curry-flavored grilled prawns are also good. I received a call yesterday saying that you planned to acquire my company. I thought about it all night and couldn't figure it out. , why did you do that, could it be for environmental protection?"

Su Rui kept talking about the train and told him seriously:

"I heard that electric cars accelerate very quickly. I want to develop a top-notch supercar and create my own Ferrari and Lamborghini brands. It is best to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers within two seconds. Of course, profitability is also important, even if It's Tony Stark in "Iron Man". He also has to accumulate enough capital by selling arms, so it will be like the Volkswagen Group, with both affordable scooters and top-notch super sports cars. I even named it in advance. I thought about it and called it Phoenix."

When he said this, even Suri himself felt stupid and half-hearted.

But Elon Musk believed it, looking like he suddenly realized it, and said:

"It turns out that the super rich always have some special interests and hobbies. For example, Howard Hughes developed the fastest airplane in the world and was obsessed with making movies. There are also Microsoft shareholders Paul Allen and Oracle's Larry Ellison. Sens are competing with each other and recently wanted to build the world’s largest superyacht. The idea of ​​the Phoenix electric supercar is so cool.”

Now that the mass production of the Roadster is not going smoothly, Musk has indeed been led astray by Suri and is seriously considering transforming into a supercar manufacturer.

Unfortunately, in Musk's view, this can only be regarded as a hobby and it is difficult to make money.

Among the many supercar brands in the world, currently only Ferrari and Lamborghini are truly profitable, such as Bugatti Veyron. The so-called loss of selling one is not a joke, it is equivalent to losing money and making money.

With Suri's financial resources, he even bought the island of Lanai, and spent another two to three billion US dollars to develop an electric supercar. From Musk's point of view, it is very reasonable.

Normal people are accustomed to careful calculation, and it is difficult to understand the thoughts of the super rich. For example, Bill Gates spent tens of millions of dollars to raise a whale shark at home as an ornamental fish in his living room.

There is a whole team not only responsible for taking care of that whale shark, but also responsible for playing with it and making it happy.
