Chapter 2226 Plan

Because of differences on some issues, although Eberhard and Musk can still work together, they can only maintain a working relationship.

As for Feng Yiping, although he has maintained a good personal relationship with Musk outside of work, he still maintains a certain degree of vigilance towards Musk.

Basically, that guy is a very ruthless person, especially when he thinks you are blocking his way, he will not hesitate to treat you as a stumbling block.

The key is that when he kicked you away without blinking an eye, he didn't feel that what he did was heartless, he thought it was a natural thing.

And he wants you to take that for granted, too.

This is a guy who regards himself as a computer and regards learning as "uploading". There are some truths that we normal humans cannot explain to him.

If such a person does not succeed, in China, the Anding Hospital will generally be the best place for them to go. But he succeeded, so some of his theories are understood and tolerated by everyone.

And this success, in turn, strengthened those abnormal traits in him.

So to a certain extent, he is the kind of person who becomes more abnormal the more successful he is.

This abnormality mainly refers to his ruthlessness in business.

However, he has very keen intuition in business. Feng Yiping has no doubt that under the current circumstances, his interest in electric vehicles will temporarily be greater than his desire to fly to Mars.

These are two projects of great social significance. Once successful, they will have a huge impact on society and change the structure of some existing industries. The difference is that one is currently progressing smoothly, while the other seems to have some problems. Nowhere in sight.

From Musk's recent focus on Tesla, it can be seen that his interest in Tesla is obviously greater than that of SpaceX.

It cannot be ruled out that he has something in mind at this moment.

Although Feng Yiping believed that the arrangements he had made in terms of equity and team setup would prevent his little thoughts from producing any practical results, he was still a little wary when he heard his move.

"Eberhard, I still hope you can complete this work," Feng Yiping said.

"Musk is indeed excellent in many aspects, but some of his ways of doing things may not be very suitable in China,"

Eberhard was a little happy when he heard this.

From the perspective of personal achievements, he obviously cannot compare with Musk. In Tesla, the reason why he still holds the position of CEO is mainly due to the full support of Feng Yiping.

"Feng, can you tell me what needs to be paid attention to, because I don't know much about China," Eberhard said.

"China is a country that pays more attention to human relationships," Feng Yiping thought for a while, "but this human relationship is not as unprincipled as many people think."

"How should I put it? When communicating with some people, especially officials, they may not give very specific figures. They may only say, 'We will definitely provide the most favorable terms.' The higher the level, the higher the level." The more senior officials are like this,"

"This most favorable condition will naturally have a floating range,"

"According to Musk's usual practice, for example, we can see from Musk's behavior in the United States that he is best at taking the conditions of place A to negotiate further discounts with place B, but in the end, he may choose to go to place B. Incorporation in third state,"

"In China, this method is not very suitable, because when we invest in one place, it will be a long-term behavior. If we use Musk's method, even if we get the best conditions in the end, it will be detrimental to future cooperation. It may have some adverse effects,"

When discussing cooperation, if you use such a method to force the local government to agree to some of your conditions, it is conceivable that the chance of being judged will naturally be much higher in the future.

This approach is very capitalist, but it is not suitable for China.

"Feng, I also think that Musk's way may not be the best way,"

"But the problem is that cooperation negotiations with local governments are really related to our company's future interests. Therefore, striving for more favorable conditions for us is exactly what we should do, isn't it?" Eberhard Some doubts.

According to you, are you just going to follow the wishes of the local government?

"Of course we have to fight for conditions that are favorable to us," Feng Yiping said, "but we should change our approach and not be as straightforward and ruthless as Musk."

"We can do this, consider it comprehensively in advance, set our requirements, and when negotiating, follow our bottom line,"

"That is, stick to our bottom line, but not seek additional conditions and compensation beyond the bottom line," Eberhard understood.

"Yes, I always believe that since it is a cooperation, both parties must be happy and it will last long,"

"I understand," Eberhard nodded.

"This approach will help us establish a long-term friendship with the leaders of the local government. This friendship may bring us many additional benefits in the future,"

"Of course, these benefits may also be difficult to measure in numbers,"

"So this is Chinese human relations," Eberhard nodded. "Can I understand that this is probably equivalent to a kind of mutual understanding and empathy?"

"Haha," Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder, "You understand it very well,"

What we call human feelings is indeed a complex culture and tradition, but a key part of it is to be considerate and considerate of each other.

You try your best, and I try my best.

Relatively speaking, it is not as straightforward and naked as in the United States, it is more tender and more comfortable.

As they were talking, they had arrived at the Jiasheng Building. Eberhard looked at the towering building in front of the door, "Haha, working in such a building is another experience,"

It's not that he has never seen the world, but for someone like him who has been working in Silicon Valley, there are indeed few opportunities to work in such a tall building.

"The Bund you want to go to is over there," Feng Yiping pointed across the river, "Let's go upstairs, we will see it more clearly upstairs,"

…………

"The municipal government hopes to meet with Eberhard tomorrow morning," Fang Yingzhi walked into Feng Yiping's office.

"No problem," Feng Yiping pushed the documents on the table to the middle, "I think it's enough to negotiate under these conditions,"

Jin Ling, who was sitting at the small conference table, rubbed his eyes, "I think it's OK,"

"Then, Eberhard," Feng Yiping looked at him with a smile, "You will propose these tomorrow,"

"No problem," Eberhard carefully closed the final plan.

Jin Ling stood up and patted his sore neck. "I don't quite understand one thing. Is it too early to consider Tesla's domestic production now?"

"You know, we don't even have a prototype car now, and the road test hasn't started yet. It can be said that no one knows what Tesla's cars are like except us."

"Soon," Eberhard said immediately, "We will produce at least ten cars in the third quarter,"

"Because many projects are being carried out in parallel, we can start mass production in the fourth quarter of next year at the latest,"

"That is, we can definitely deliver the first batch of vehicles to our users by the end of next year according to Feng's wishes,"

"So, can we at least talk about it after we have a prototype car, so that we can get better conditions?" Jin Ling said.

"Mr. Jin, it's about building momentum, don't you understand?" Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"Look at the iPhone. How hot was it on the Internet before Apple even released it to the public?"

"It was finally released, but it will take another half a year to deliver it. This has successfully mobilized everyone's enthusiasm and initiative,"

"Our Tesla is to be the iPhone of the automotive industry, to make many people itch to death, but it is difficult to get it in their hands,"

Jin Ling rolled his eyes obscurely.

"Besides, how can such a project be negotiated in just a few times?"

"My arrangement is that it will definitely be put into production in China, but it must be considered after it is listed in the United States,"

"We want to make Tesla a fashion, and let many people be proud to own a Tesla as soon as possible,"

"If we can successfully create this situation, don't you think Tesla will be successful in China?"

"We can definitely do it," Eberhard said with a clenched fist.

Yes, we will.
