Chapter 291 Tesla Invests in Building a Factory, Hua Ming Arrives at Longxing Technology

"Are you coming to Shanghai to invest and build a factory?"

Dragon Kingdom Magic City.

Zhang Ju did not expect that just two months into the new year, the world would send him a great gift for his career.

The person beside him was none other than Elon Marsik, the founder of Tesla and spaceX.

Masik was obviously in a good mood and responded: "Yes, we plan to build 1,000 charging piles in and around Shanghai, and invest in a new energy vehicle super factory in Shanghai."

"What is a new energy vehicle?"

Zhang Ju was puzzled.

He only knew that Masik was engaged in rocket development and provided services to US officials, but he did not know much about the car brand "Tesla".

"You can think of it as a car driven by electric energy. It is smarter than a fuel-powered vehicle and does not require fuel to run."

Masik explained simply.

"It turns out it's an electric car." Zhang Ju murmured to himself, and then responded: "It's okay to invest, but you need to provide us with vehicle safety inspection documents, and how much money do you plan to invest in Magic City?"

"I have already talked with your customs, and a batch of Tesla cars will be shipped for inspection in the near future. I am very confident in my cars and want you to accommodate me in advance."

As soon as Masik finished speaking, he added: "I plan to invest 5 billion US dollars to build a factory and provide 20,000 jobs."

"How...how much?"

Zhang Ju swallowed.

An investment of 5 billion US dollars is equivalent to about 30 billion Dragon Country coins. This is a huge deal!

The most important thing is 20,000 jobs, which is what he desperately wants.

The availability of new jobs means an increase in the employment rate, and an increase in the employment rate means their careers can be smoother.

"Five billion US dollars, this is only the initial construction cost. We may increase investment in the future and ensure that employees have five insurances and one housing fund. We also plan..."

Masik told his terms.

Before he came to Longguo, he had actually done a lot of homework, especially in terms of workers' welfare benefits.

After listening to a series of conditions, Zhang Ju coughed twice and said: "The rules are strict. Let's do this. You can invest in building charging piles first. When the procedures are complete, I will stamp you and approve your investment in building charging piles." factory."

"That's a pleasure to work with."

Masik stretched out his hand and smiled.

He is not anxious at all, because he is the only one in the world that makes new energy vehicles, and possible future competitors are still working on fuel vehicles, which he thinks is very stupid.

As the founder of spaceX, he has a very long-term vision.

From launch vehicles to the Starlink project to Tesla cars and brain-computer interfaces, he actually has his own strategy.

If a conventional enterprise wants to make money, it must accumulate from the four aspects of "food, clothing, housing and transportation", because the risk is the least and the safest.

But Masik was different. He entered the extremely costly field of space when he first came up, and also laid the groundwork for the previous times when he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Fortunately, the development of recyclable rockets was successful, and he immediately received a large number of orders from the US military, and spaceX was pulled back from the edge of the cliff.

With the launch vehicle, he can move towards "intelligence" layout, first cars, then global communications, and finally mobile phones...

Zhang Ju also stood up quickly, shook hands with him and said, "Welcome to invest in Long Country."

…

the other side.

The United States across the ocean.

Apple's research and development base.

Pou Ke was wearing a dust-proof suit and witnessed the installation of the first Apple 8. Next to him was Gaotong CEO Molenkov, both of whom were closely watching the operation of the robot.

A series of processes such as motherboard patching, reflow oven welding, single board testing, and motherboard assembly are automated for assembly.

Not a moment.

Apple 8 mobile phone is released.

When engineers got the phone and tested its performance, they were surprised. Its computing speed reached 1.3 trillion operations per second, which is equivalent to 2.6 times that of the A9s chip. At the same time, the 4G network speed also reached an astonishing 6MB/s!

As the data of the whole machine was reported, Pou Ke couldn't help but exclaimed: "This data is so perfect that it can no longer be described in words."

"Perhaps it's time for us to seize back the market."

Mollenkopf smiled lightly.

The network speed of 6MB/s can be achieved due to the baseband technology provided by Gaotong. Only high-frequency data processing and high-speed throughput can ensure that the baseband chip can keep up with some operations.

"It's time." Pou Ke nodded and thanked: "I didn't expect you still have this trump card. With such efficient baseband technology, maybe we don't even need a 5G network. We only need to continue to develop the 4G network in depth. All users’ online needs.”

Whether you are watching TV series or playing games, the 6MB/s network speed can be perfectly controlled, and the 4G network can continue to be developed, maybe it can reach 10MB/s in the future!

However, what Pou Ke doesn’t know is that the new generation of Snapdragon baseband technology can achieve such efficient data processing and throughput, all thanks to Longxing Technology’s DSP multi-core architecture technology.

Yes.

Gaotong Company has taken a different approach.

After losing several games, Mollenkopf asked his chip chief Charles to secretly use Longxing Technology's DSP multi-core architecture technology and carry out deep disguise.

If you are not a master in the industry, it is impossible to discover the clues.

Even Apple's engineers have not found any problems at this moment. They will not think about "stealing technology" at all. After all, Gaotong is a company with a market capitalization of trillions.

Mollenkopf smiled faintly and responded shamelessly: "We think so too, and we will continue to develop the 4G network in depth."

Although millimeter wave network speeds are fast, centimeter wave and decimeter waves are not weak either. Gaotong engineers predict that network speeds may reach 10MB/s.

As long as this network speed can be achieved, it may be possible to use the 4G network to realize the interconnection of everything without relying on the 5G network.

But Mollenkopf would not have thought that a 10MB/s network speed would be at the level of a younger brother in front of a 5G network.

Deutschman's prediction is that the maximum speed of the 5G network can reach 70MB/s, which is seven times the limit of the 4G network predicted by Gaotong.

“When are you going to go public?”

Mollenkopf asked again.

Now in the high-end mobile phone market, Longxing Technology has been restricted.

Since Carl Zeiss, SK Hynix, Korean Star Group and other companies have stopped supplying, both the brilliant and geek series have been discontinued, leaving Apple as the dominant mobile phone company.

"Maybe within a month." Puke responded while looking at Mollenkopf and said, "I heard that Xu Jinshui of the Baile Group has already won the ancient Xiangguo market?"

"Yes." Mollenkopf nodded and continued: "With the help of the pharmaceutical company, the senior officials of the Ancient Elephant Kingdom can only compromise."

As the "Pharmacy of the World", Guxiang Kingdom is famous for its large number of generic drugs.

The reason for this situation is simply that the pharmaceutical companies turned a blind eye and maintained a tacit understanding with the top management. After all, they still relied on the people of Guxiang to conduct drug testing on humans without any responsibility.

Of course.

Ancient Xiang Kingdom cannot do without pharmaceutical companies.

Because if they withdraw collectively, I believe many countries will be willing to accept them and even offer the same conditions.

Sometimes, population is also a resource, which is a very cruel reality.

Hearing this, Pou Ke also had an idea and said his plan: "Then it seems necessary to join forces with Xu Jinshui to jointly launch an encirclement and suppression of Longxing Technology."

Mollenkopf nodded.

He didn't say anything. Now he just wants the iPhone 8 to be launched as soon as possible to make money and give Gaotong a breath of fresh air.

Compared with Gaotong a year ago, they are now like waning old people who can fall down with a gentle push.

…

And at the same time.

Dragon Kingdom Deep City.

Shenzhen International Airport Pick-up Hall.

A flight that took off from the Neon Island Kingdom, transited through the Imperial Capital of the Dragon Kingdom, and finally arrived at Shencheng slowly landed.

"Ding dong!"

"Please note when greeting passengers, flight CZ2123, the direct flight from Imperial Capital to Shenzhen, has arrived at this station. Please go to the arrival hall and wait for reception. Thank you!"

Chen Xing, who had just arrived at the pick-up hall, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he caught up. He glanced at the flight information displayed on the LED screen, which showed that the passengers on the flight were leaving the station.

Wait briefly.

The number of passengers leaving the station is increasing.

Chen Xing looked around, and at this moment, the blue system panel flashed out, locking in the location of red quality talents.

【Name】: Hua Ming

[Type]: Scientific research talents

[Qualification]: Red

[Character]: Sheniu (easy to integrate into the group, dare to face setbacks, the success rate of team scientific research is significantly improved)

[Main direction of attack]: New energy vehicles

[Proficient in technology]: New energy battery pack module integration, high-speed motor design, electronic control system design, differential subtraction system design, lidar design...

[Loyalty]: 95

[Monthly salary]: 100,000 (an appropriate increase in salary can motivate talents)

[Special entry]: Diligent and studious (any new thing can be learned very quickly. Because of the studiousness, after entering the scientific research state, the thinking ability, logical ability, and concentration will be greatly improved)

Without waiting for Chen Xing's reaction, Hua Ming, who was wearing a long gray coat, a dark scarf and a black suitcase, waved his hand and said, "President, you've been waiting for a long time."

"I just arrived too."

Chen Xing looked Hua Ming up and down.

He now has high hopes for this talent in the field of new energy vehicles, and it all depends on him to make a comeback.

In the field of mobile phones, due to the lack of construction of satellite base stations and the obstruction of the West, there is no way to go international.

But new energy vehicles are different. No matter how crazy the West is, it’s impossible to blow up a car with a rocket launcher, right?

If imports are restricted, Longguo can also retaliate in kind, so Chen Xing is still very confident in the new energy vehicle field.

Once the gap is opened, anything can be said easily.

"Let's not talk here anymore. Let's go back to the company first." Hua Ming greeted, and at the same time asked, "By the way, President, what kind of new energy vehicle do you want to build?"

New energy vehicles, like fuel vehicles, have segmented models.

SUVs, Laotoule, and ordinary mobility models all have different manufacturing processes and use different materials.

Take Laotou Le as an example. This kind of car does not require a complicated casting process or extreme performance. It just needs to be dynamic and cheap.

Faced with this problem, Chen Xing had already had an idea and responded: "It's a 5-seater sedan. It's positioned for daily transportation."

"What about the selling price?"

"In the range of 200,000 to 250,000."

"Understood."

The two of them walked and talked.

A simple conversation also gave Hua Ming a rough idea of ​​Chen Xing's thoughts.

New energy vehicles in the range of 200,000 to 250,000 yuan are targeting fuel vehicles in the range of 300,000 to 450,000 yuan, which shows that Chen Xing wants to start from the mid-to-high end.

Cars are no better than mobile phones. If the range of 200,000 to 250,000 is converted into a mobile phone budget, it is about 3,000 to 5,000 yuan, which is a cost-effective model.

As for why Chen Xing didn't raise the price to the same as the BBA model, then we have to mention the income of the people of Dragon Kingdom.

For example, the current monthly salary of white-collar workers in big cities is generally around 6,000 yuan, and it may exceed 10,000 yuan in a better large factory.

Can an ordinary person with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan afford a car of 350,000 yuan?

Even if you can afford it, you can't afford it.

A car is no different than a mobile phone. You only need to charge it and you can play with it. However, a car requires regular maintenance and tire replacement, which may cost several hundred yuan at a time.

Entry-level BBA is the limit for ordinary people. This is definitely not a joke.

After comprehensive consideration, Chen Xing wants to set the price of his first car at 200,000 to 250,000. This range will not be called a cheap model, nor will it rise to the ranks of high-end models.

…

After taking Hua Ming back to the Longxing base, Ren Guofei and Rebus, who were still waiting in the president's office, saw Chen Xing coming back and immediately stood up and asked, "Who is this little brother?"

"Hua Ming, I just came back from abroad. I am the chief executive of new energy vehicles in our company."

Chen Xing introduced briefly.

"Boss Ren, I have admired your name for a long time. I still vividly remember your speech at the last global summit."

Hua Ming stepped forward, took Ren Guofei's hand and continued: "I wanted you to use WeChat at that time, but I never found the opportunity. This time I will add WeChat to you no matter what."

The words fell.

He looked at Rebus again and said: "Mr. Lei, a representative of grassroots rise, I have read your autobiography word for word. The sentence on line 2 on page 42 made my heart surge. I was so excited when I read it."

Ren Guofei and Rebus were both shocked. Hua Ming's social skills were too strong, right?

Rebus also had questions. Does his autobiography include the sentence "My heart is surging"?

Although he did have an autobiography, it was all written by his subordinates. The purpose was to increase Rebus's popularity and show off.

"Then add WeChat first." Ren Guofei took out his mobile phone. Hua Ming immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll scan it for you."

Rebus laughed awkwardly and said, "I didn't expect to meet a loyal fan. How about we also add a WeChat account?"

"It's what I asked for."

Hua Minglisuo added WeChat.

Without hesitation, he went directly to their friend circle to like and comment, which left both Ren Guofei and Rebus speechless.

But they didn't say much. If people like and comment, let them go. It's okay to stop them.

"By the way." Ren Guofei looked at Chen Xing and agreed on a time: "Brother Chen, are you free tomorrow? I have talked with Shen Dong and will fly directly to Fengtian to talk to him tomorrow."

"Come there together?"

Chen Xing asked.

Rebus nodded and responded: "The business has been cut off. I am idle anyway. It's okay to go to Fengtian."

"me too."

Ren Guofei smiled and said.

Because of their resistance to Western hegemony, Rice Company lost its business in the Ancient Elephant Kingdom, and Kunpeng Company lost its international base station construction business. They still had a lot of time.

"In that case, let's go together." Chen Xing replied with a smile. He still had business matters to discuss.

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at Hua Ming, who was next to him and liked and commented on Ren Guofei and Rebus' WeChat Moments, and said, "Chief Hua, let's go too. We are going to Fengtian City to acquire the production factory of Brilliance Group. You can check it." .”

"no problem."

Hua Ming turned off the screen of his mobile phone.

He doesn't dare to talk about other fields. Just in terms of new energy vehicle manufacturing, he still has a little bit of authority.

"But before that, I think we need to hurry up and register the joint venture company." Chen Xing suddenly looked at Ren Guofei and Rebus.

"today?"

"So urgent?"

Ren Guofei and Rebus were shocked.

They didn't know that Chen Xing had a system to recruit talents.

"It doesn't mean it has to be today." Chen Xing thought for a while and responded: "It's best to finalize it within half a month."
