I ask you to build tractors, but you build rockets?

"died?"

Lin Ju was still at the Aviation Development Committee when the incident occurred, and was shocked to see the message that suddenly popped up on his phone.

"How could he die? How could he die now?"

Lin Ju walked around the office and clicked on the pictures on the news again.

There are two small groups of people in the photo. One group is the bodyguards who are rescuing Kishimotozu and preventing subsequent attacks. The other side is the assassin who is suppressed and unable to move by a group of people.

The latter has medium-long hair and looks like an ordinary magazine reporter or cameraman with the cameras scattered next to him. It seems that he has given up on struggling.

It’s only 2017! Is the butterfly effect already that serious? !

It seems that it hasn’t happened in the island country either... Apart from the fact that nuclear wastewater needs to be discharged in advance, is this the case?

At this time, Academician She hurriedly opened the door and walked in. Seeing Lin Ju's reaction, he asked:

"You know it too?"

"I just saw it, why did this happen all of a sudden?"

Academician She shook his head and then sighed:

"Who knows what those people are thinking, but the Huayin Conference has been full of twists and turns and will probably be interrupted soon.

"..."

It seemed that Academician She was just a little surprised. After all, theoretically, this matter had nothing to do with the aerospace industry.

"By the way, I'm here to tell you the good news in advance. Now it can be regarded as a double happiness:

The Tesla Gigafactory in the Magic City was shut down, the project was completely terminated, and another piece of the new energy electric vehicle market was left vacant. "

"ah?"

Today's news was more and more outrageous, making Lin Ju wonder if he was still dreaming. The Tesla Gigafactory is an important support for Tesla. Lao Ma even came here in person many times. How could he lose it so easily? ?

There must be something wrong somewhere in this world!

…

Texas.

"Thank you, thank you Tesla for your efforts to solve the unemployment problem for us, everything will be better because of you."

Arlington's mayor, police department and local media swarmed around Musk, pouring out their own praise and compliments.

The reason is simple: In the scorched earth of Aramco, a manufacturing industry, Tesla actually plans to build a super factory!

It is not an ordinary car factory, but a super production base that can employ more than 15,000 employees. It will produce 200,000 vehicles per year after it is put into production and will expand to 500,000 vehicles in the long term.

A series of parts suppliers will be established around this super factory. Together with local infrastructure, living and other supporting facilities, it will create at least 50,000 to 10 jobs. It will definitely be a shot in the arm for the unemployment rate that has been rising year by year.

Although the 800 billion social security benefits John promised when he took office are gradually being realized, and the unemployed people can receive some money, relief funds and stable jobs are completely different things.

Working young people work diligently during the day and do not go out on the streets to become a factor of instability. They do not have the energy to become potential criminals in the night. Their life is fulfilling and will spawn a series of other pursuits, thus sustainably pulling Rising consumption has led to better and better operations in other industries.

A job can solve not only the unemployment rate, but also the crime rate, public security, urban health and many other benefits.

When Arlington Mayor William Diesel learned that Tesla was planning to put the Gigafactory originally opened in Magic City there, he was so happy that he almost cried. When Musk arrived, he went to welcome him. .

Arlington is also one of the largest cities in Texas and has a good industrial base. General Motors also opened an automobile assembly plant here. However, there has been an uneven trend of layoffs in recent years.

Musk is actually not satisfied here, especially after going to Shanghai to inspect the city and feeling more disparity, but there is no other way. This is the only territory that he can find pleasing to the eye and easier to control in Aramco.

Abandoning the magical city of Tesla is a major loss. Of course, it is not because he wanted to do it, but because of the pressure from the presidential office.

The Artemis plan was in a mess these days. Although SpecaX had no responsibility, he still paid attention to it. Unexpectedly, he was summoned by John's new Secretary of State, Jack Sullivan.

Sullivan first affirmed SpecaX’s outstanding work in the Artemis program and said that he would pay more attention to SpecaX’s role in future space missions. Then he revealed one thing:

At the end of this month, John will formally submit a bill to fully restore domestic industrial manufacturing capabilities, and it "will definitely be passed."

This not only means that trade will be more severe in cracking down on imported goods and imposing more tariffs, but also means that domestic capital outflows will be restricted while subsidizing domestic manufacturing.

The automobile industry, as an important pillar that can drive almost all industrial chains up and down, will be the focus of the new bill.

If Tesla continues to build factories overseas for export, it will be severely sanctioned by the bill and must keep the industrial chain in its home country as much as possible.

Of course, Sullivan did not ignore the disadvantages of exporting complete vehicles and Aramco's world-leading labor prices and logistics costs, but told him that the government would provide extremely strong subsidies for this.

There are many types of subsidies. The first is the most powerful production subsidy: Tesla will automatically receive a subsidy of half of the selling price for every vehicle produced locally, which can almost solve the disadvantage of rising prices in the country.

What is left are subsidies for consumers, and this one is more. Many taxes, including consumption tax, purchase tax, fuel tax and license tax, will be significantly reduced or even partially exempted, and if you only have one electric car in your name, Cars can apply for a subsidy of up to one-third of the car price.

In fact, most of the production capacity of Tesla's Magic City factory is exported to Australia, New Zealand, Europe and other countries. Now exports from the local market will also be subsidized. At least the goal is to use government subsidies to enable Tesla to obtain the same benefits as Magic even if it is produced locally. All the same advantages.

Of course, it’s not just Tesla. All car companies and manufacturing companies in the United States will be on the subsidy list. It is said that the automotive industry alone plans to invest US$150 billion in the next fiscal year, and this will increase year by year. .

After returning to Texas, Lao Ma believed that the possibility was very high in light of the recent drastic changes in the presidential palace. While suspending the progress of Tesla in the Magic City, he inspected several cities and finally decided to choose Arlington for the new factory.

With government subsidies, Tesla can go big. Even if it can't sell, it will subsidize 50% of the selling price. This is almost clearly telling the car manufacturers that they can live a prosperous life by inflating prices and taking subsidies. This also illustrates from the side. How determined is the bill.

However, there is still a more important trouble that needs to be faced in the mainland: workers' unions.

The automobile production line runs 24 hours a day, which is a good place for them to find trouble. GM's assembly plants are very troubled by frequent strikes. Wage increases are a trivial matter, but delays in the production line are where huge losses lie.

When he made his concerns explicit, William smiled and pulled a bearded man from the crowd.

The latter seemed to have reached some compromise with William, and said with a not-so-good look:

"If you can really guarantee no less than 15,000 jobs, high enough wages and no violations, I can guarantee that we will give 48 hours' notice for consultation before any action is taken."

At this point, he looked at the bald police chief holding his hands next to him, and added:

"I am cooperating with you for the sake of the poor unemployed people. Don't think that you can point your fingers by donating to our fund."
