Chapter 806 We are not happy

Zhang Yang saw that no one came to greet him, so he leaned forward and told his bodyguard Xiao Zhao: "We don't want to go to their office building. We just go around the factory and take a look."

Xiao Zhao nodded and started to drive slowly around the factory.
Liu Yifei looked at it for a while and felt something was wrong even more. She pointed to the huge parking lot in the factory and pulled Zhang Yang's arm.

"Did you see that all Tesla employees drive gasoline-powered cars, and most of them are Ford cars? What's going on?"

“Tesla’s cars are currently too expensive, but model 3 is already out, and I heard it only costs $25000 after subsidies in the United States.

And you see, isn’t it great that they don’t force employees to drive their own cars? "Zhang Yang thinks this is good,
Unlike Ms. Dong in the future, she made a phone that looked like shit and forced her employees to buy it. It was really disgusting.

By the way, it seems that because of this, she got mixed up with a young guy who was engaged in mobile phone evaluation, and the strong female character was shattered.

This guy has a really bad appetite and likes to eat soft food.

Zhang Yang's car drove around the factory for almost twenty minutes before going to the office building.

When you get there, don't make any introductions, just brush your face, and the front desk will call the management.

After all, Zhang Yang just showed his face across the United States yesterday. Is there anyone who doesn't recognize him?
After a while, Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei, who were watching Tesla's introduction in the hall, heard an exaggerated voice.

"Zhang Yang, crystal welcome to my new energy kingdom." Musk opened his arms from a distance and walked towards Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang looked helpless at his exaggerated expression.

I remember that after the Shanghai Super Factory started construction, a group of serious leaders were there, while he was dancing around like a patient with ADHD.

"Musk, the security of your kingdom is not very good. We have been wandering around for half an hour." Zhang Yang complained after hugging him.

Musk didn't panic at all. He raised his hand nonchalantly and pointed outside the factory: "You can just take a stroll outside. We just need to ensure the security of key departments. Let me introduce it to you..."

As he spoke, he introduced the senior management of his company to Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei. After a group of people exchanged greetings, Musk raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost 11 o'clock. He suggested: "Director, I will take you to see Check out our factory.

Let me tell you, I slept in the workshop of this factory. "

"Really? Then I'm a little interested." Zhang Yang looked interested.

Led by Musk himself, a large group of people first came to the employee passage of the factory. Tesla's core values ​​were engraved above the door: Promote the world to develop towards sustainable energy!
The slogans were really loud. It’s a bit like Ahri back in the day: Make it easy to do business in the world! That kind of meaning.

Here, the first person recognized was Musk.

"Hey, Musk, come on, I hope your cheaper Model 3 can speed up production. I want to replace my Model S with a Model 3." A middle-aged white man recognized Musk and immediately faced him he cried.

This middle-aged white man was wearing a Tesla-themed T-shirt, which read in English: Tesla has more cows than Edison.

Zhang Yang laughed softly and joked to Liu Yifei beside him: "This person may be a die-hard Tesla fan."

Liu Yifei nodded. She felt that this person was here to chase stars.

Liu Yifei never imagined that the new energy automobile industry would become a bit like a celebrity fandom in the future.

These people are all Tesla owners around the world, and they also come here to visit.

Soon Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei were also recognized. Fortunately, Musk knew that there was still business today, so he immediately took Zhang Yang and his group away from the crowd, otherwise they would not talk about today's matters.

They quickly boarded an electric train specially designed for factory visits and passed through the well-organized parts warehouse, the very clean body-in-white processing area, the parts assembly area separated by anti-glare colored glass, and the seat assembly area. .

Zhang Yang carefully observed the mental state of the employees in the factory.

In the parts assembly area, a factory employee was operating a robotic arm. Perhaps their tourist train hindered him from taking the parts.
He actually subconsciously clashed with Musk, who was sitting at the front of the train, and looked at him with contempt.

When he realized it was Musk, he immediately put away his eyes, raised his arms and said loudly: "I'm sorry, BOSS, but we are too busy."

Musk smiled and waved to him. This employee did a great job and let Zhang Yang and others know the good side of their factory.

The Fremont factory is world-famous for its high technology and high mechanization. Zhang Yang saw this with his own eyes:

This super factory has the largest Schuler SMG hydraulic press in the United States, a welding robot arm specially built for Tesla, and nearly 500 Kuka production line robots...

In less than 45 minutes, the factory tour ended, and it was almost twelve o'clock.

Zhang Yang was taken by Musk to their Tesla canteen and had a terrible American lunch: hamburger and coffee.

But Musk himself ate it with gusto.

The assistant was eating a hamburger on the side, watching all this silently, and he had some concerns in his heart.

After lunch, they chatted for a long time in the employee rest area of ​​the entire factory.

A Tesla executive finally spoke up: "Everyone, I think we can go to the conference room to discuss things."

"Okay." Zhang Yang's assistant agreed simply.

A group of people quickly returned to Tesla's office building, and a conference room had been prepared.

Zhang Yang, Liu Yifei, assistant and junior assistant sat on the right, while Musk and five or six Tesla executives sat on the left.

Tesla's staff also gave each of them a bottle of mineral water, which was really simple. Soon everyone was chatting for a while, and a Tesla executive preemptively said: "I wonder what Director Zhang Yang thinks of our Tesla?"

They finally got to the point.

"From our observation, there are many problems throughout Tesla." The assistant began to respond in fluent English.

This is where today’s investment battle begins.

"What? Can you elaborate?" a senior person asked. As far as they know, Chinese people are very humble. What happened to this assistant today? He looked like he was on full fire.

"Of course, I think Tesla has reached the point of life and death..." Assistant Ba La Ba La told Tesla's continued losses, especially the model 20 production line that his company spent 3 billion US dollars to introduce. Batch!

"This is the most advanced production line in the world." Tesla executives could not agree with the assistant's statement.

"But it currently does not bring higher production efficiency. Your over-automation is a mistake." The assistant directly stated the reality.

"This is the trend of the future."

"There is a very classic saying in our country, one step ahead is a hero, one step ahead is a martyr, one step ahead is a leader. How much ahead do you think Tesla is?" The assistant became more and more comfortable as he spoke, with a clear expression Mastery expression.

"We have enough money to last until that day. Don't forget, our boss owns more than just Tesla."

Indeed, in addition to Tesla cars, Musk also has rocket companies and solar companies.

When the assistant heard this, he looked at Musk decisively and said seriously: "Sir, will you give up these two careers?"

"Of course not. We at Tesla want to change the energy supply in the United States and even the world. Cars are just the entry point." Musk answered decisively when he heard Assistant Zhang Yang's question.
When he said this, he did not have a playful smile, but a serious look on his face. This was really his ideal.

After Musk finished speaking, the assistant looked at Tesla executives and said, "Look, your boss is stabbing you in the back!"
He refuses to give up those projects. Where does your money come from?
The play in the assistant's eyes was also felt by Tesla's executives. They looked at Musk speechlessly. What's the matter? You usually talk about your ideals instead of just talking about your ideals.

Musk felt the blame from the executives, but he didn't care. His ideal is the greatest, and Tesla must serve his ideal.

"Everyone at Tesla..." The assistant immediately started to pursue the victory, talking about Tesla's shortcomings such as insufficient production capacity, imperfect technology, frequent accidents, etc.

"Then there must be something you like about our company, otherwise why would you come here?" Tesla executives countered decisively.

"The only thing we are optimistic about your company is Mr. Musk..." The assistant pointed at Musk, and then praised him again.

Musk, on the other hand, is a free-spirited man. He waved his hand and said very coolly: "Since you are optimistic about me, don't hesitate and invest!"

"But sir, you have a fatal flaw. The management of the company is in a mess. This cannot be reassuring.
As a company that has been established for fifteen years, it still has the problem of insufficient production capacity. What this reveals is that Tesla may not be familiar with how it should be managed as a manufacturing company. "The assistant also hit Musk hard.

"Then what solution do you have?" Musk did not deny what the assistant said, but pursed his lips and asked.

The assistant smiled and ignored his words, joking, telling you everything, how can we get the discounted stocks.

"You don't tell us, but we know that the best solution among so many problems is the production capacity problem. Just build a factory in China. We have already thought of this." A Tesla executive said to the assistant in a very confident tone. .

The assistant raised his eyebrows without saying a word. He discussed with the boss's team and concluded that the simplest and most efficient way to help Tesla at present is to build a factory in China. Unexpectedly, they themselves knew it.

Zhang Yang hummed and pointed at himself with his finger.

When Zhang Yang hummed, the assistant looked over and reacted immediately when the boss pointed at him.

"How long will it take for you to build a factory in our country? How much convenience will you get?" The assistant also started to fight back.

The Tesla team members clearly saw his and Zhang Yang's little moves, but they were confident.

"When our company builds a factory in your country, it will definitely be welcomed."

"Actually, we are not happy today." The assistant suddenly changed the subject.

"What." They all looked at the assistant with question marks on their faces.

"We are not satisfied with the burgers and coffee arranged by your company, and we can't get used to it."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" they asked doubtfully.

"We thought you would be prepared in advance, but obviously you don't understand the Chinese people." The assistant regained his wisdom.

The Tesla team members were silent for a moment, but Musk was very casual: "I can find someone who is familiar with your country to handle it. It's not difficult."

"Yes, this is not difficult, but how much time, cost, and money will it cost your company?" The assistant gave a soul blow.

Tesla can either directly choose the world's top consulting firm, or it can slowly find it on its own, either spending more money or spending more time.

The assistant was telling them that it might be best to go to his boss.

"What conditions do you have?" Tesla executives asked.

Anyone can buy Tesla stocks in the market. If Zhang Yang just wanted to invest simply, he wouldn't say so much and just buy the stocks directly.
