Chapter 453 Pressure

"That's our main progress right now," said Martin Eberhard, who ended his demonstration in the Tesla conference room, returned to his seat with a little nervousness.

Before this, Feng Yiping, accompanied by them, systematically visited the teams of Tesla's various sub-systems, but he only listened, watched, and did not express a single opinion. It is still the case now.

Their eyes exchanged. It seemed that Feng was a little dissatisfied?

Feng Yiping is difficult to be satisfied. Since Tesla was established, it has hired a lot of people and spent a lot of money, but many of the achievements are still only on the drawings and models.

This is indeed not easy to build a car, and it is indeed a huge investment, whether it is money or time.

Feng Yiping typed a few words on the computer, "Thank you for your hard work some time ago. This is a brand new project. The current progress is completely the result of everyone's efforts."

After he said this, those people were more relaxed.

"Of course, there are also problems. The biggest problem is that the overall progress is still a little behind, and the resulting uneven development."

These are all shareholders, and they are very enthusiastic about making pure electric vehicles. They have nothing to say about their work.

But, after all, the only thing that has made real progress is the power system.

The battery management system developed by Mike and others has now entered the actual testing stage.

However, none of the other subsystems can satisfy Feng Yiping.

He thought about it and seemed to be a little harsh.

Although he has never even taken a Tesla car, he has encountered it more than once on the street. Through the Internet, he has a clear and intuitive understanding of Tesla electric cars, from appearance to inner to performance.

But Martin, Mark and Straubel did not have such an understanding and clear impression. They may not even imagine what kind of car it would be like in the end.

"Sorry, I may be a little anxious, but I still have to thank you for your hard work."

"Feng, we are actually not very satisfied with the current progress," Martin said on his own initiative.

"It is gratifying that after many trial and error in the early stage, most projects have found the right path. I think the next period of time will be a period of time when we move forward at high speed. In the next few months, you will see this from the work summary," said Martin.

This is the result that Feng Yiping wanted. The Tesla in his hand was not like the Tesla in history, and it was just a small fight at the beginning.

Under the premise of knowing the prospects of this project, he invested a lot of money without hesitation and hired many experts with high salaries. Logically, this R&D process should have been faster than before.

"We currently have a rough solution to the most difficult motor for the transmission system," Straubel said.

This is good news.

Because this is a roadblock that Musk asserted at the beginning.

"real?"

"We visited the world's leading motor manufacturers, and finally two companies are sure to make trial productions. Of course, according to your usual philosophy, all its intellectual property rights will belong to Tesla,"

"That's good," Feng Yiping finally had a smile on his face. "But everyone, although I can't bear it, I have another task today. I want to set up a new autonomous driving department under Tesla."

This is another main purpose of Feng Yiping's trip.

"Automatic driving?" The three looked at each other, but looked a little excited.

They really hope to apply as much new technologies as possible in this car.

The concept of autonomous driving is not new, and there are such applications in airplanes, but it is still fresh enough in the automotive field at present.

"Yes, of course, this is definitely a step-by-step project. I think at least for now, we can do some research in active safety and assisted driving,"

The biggest difference between a car and an aircraft is that a driving passage has limited space and will always be affected by the outside world. The aircraft's waterway is spacious enough and is less likely to be affected by the outside world under the arrangement of the flight control center.

"In terms of car driving, we humans can be said to be the safest and most unsafe contradictory combination,"

"When we face emergencies, we can take measures in the first time in the face of emergencies. With such capabilities, no matter how advanced the computer performs, it is impossible for us to handle it better than we do," said Dr.

"It is said that it is unsafe because such emergencies are mostly caused by ourselves. We are tired when driving, or mentally distracted, such as answering a phone call, or seeing a beautiful woman on the side of the road...."

"Traffic accidents caused by human factors account for more than 90% of the total traffic accidents. At this point, we really don't have preset computer security,"

"Now, the technologies of sensors such as electronic maps, radars, lasers, ultrasonics, infrared, machine vision, etc. have made great progress. We in Silicon Valley are good at integrating and using software and genius to make the hardware perform the best results, so I think we can do research in this regard now,"

"Environmental perception, behavior prediction, human-computer interaction, high-precision positioning...,"

"Wait, say it slower," Straubel said with his eyes shiny.

What Feng Yiping said is all about specific directions, and the most difficult thing in developing a new project is to determine which aspects to carry out research.

"This is just some of my personal thoughts. I will email you in detail. In short, I hope this project can be established as soon as possible."

I have to say that Tesla's level in autonomous driving was also at the forefront of the industry. Feng Yiping hoped that he would not fall behind this time, and he hoped that this issue would be raised by himself, not Musk.

That guy who developed rockets was too easy to think of adding autonomous driving functions to cars.

"Feng, your proposal is very genius," Martin was very excited.

Feng Yiping is right. The advantage of Silicon Valley is to use software to integrate hardware and develop tasks such as autonomous driving. He is very interested.

When Feng Yiping suggested, he felt that Tesla should be equipped with such technology.

"That's it?" Feng Yiping packed up his things, "Don't forget, come to my house to attend the Spring Festival party at 6 o'clock in the evening,"

…………

nextdoor, in the big conference room, there were a lot of reporters coming today, and the atmosphere was a little different. Matthew Ledger of "USA Today", put his hands in his pockets, his mind relaxed, and he was the absolute protagonist of the scene, communicating with his colleagues around him with a smile on his face.

In any case, as the first person to question this merger and acquisition, his report yesterday definitely attracted a lot of attention to their newspapers. Now his colleagues are really envious of him.

The main purpose of so many reporters attending this press conference today is to see if Feng Yiping and Netflix will react and whether they will take corresponding measures. If not, they will definitely follow up immediately.

Brian, the most influential newspaper in the West, is a reporter for Silicon Valley news in the Los Angeles Times. This is a bit optimistic and I hope you can be more proud.

He has been deeply engaged in Silicon Valley for many years and has a wide network of relationships. He has probably heard some rumors. He really wants to express deep sympathy for this guy who is eager to take over Feng Yiping and Netflix.

Not to mention anything else, just Feng Yiping can successfully invest in Google, become a consultant to Jobs, and be appreciated by the heads of well-known companies such as Amazon, McDonald's, and Starbucks. How could he not have any real ability?

How could this merger be like Matthew took it for granted?

But as Matthew looked here with a look with a victorious attitude, the little sympathy in Brian's heart immediately disappeared, only disgust and gloom, let's see when you can be proud of it.

"Here," the noisy scene became quiet. Zheng Jiayi chose to appear in a dark blue suit today, and searched in the crowd for a while without any concealment. It was obvious that she was looking for Matthew.

It didn't take her much effort, because Matthew was the central figure in the small circle that had not completely dispersed.

Zheng Jiayi's eyes were emotional, and Matthew was quite graceful and nodded at her with a smile, but Zheng Jiayi was too lazy to pay attention to it.

This quiet confrontation made many reporters who were paying attention to Matthew’s eyes lit up, as if they were having a good show?

"Today I have something to announce to everyone," Zheng Jiayi said straight to the point. "About our acquisition of Netflix, from project establishment to implementation, we have rigorous demonstration and planning. For Netflix's future development, we have sufficient preparations to make everyone's eyes shine,"

Now, except for Matthew, everyone's faces lit up.

But Brian observed it more carefully. He saw that Matthew's face had changed a little, but he didn't seem to care.

Why is this happening to him? Things seem to be not as simple as they seem?

Zheng Jiayi continues to inform everyone about the relevant situation, "Mr. Feng studied at Tsinghua University in China undergrad. He has always followed the school spirit of Tsinghua University. He wanted to use actions to let people who care about us understand the plan for Netflix, but since so many people are looking forward to our arrangements so much, I heard that many people are disappointed - considering that we have acquired Netflix, it is still less than a week, these people seem to be looking forward to it,"

“Anyway, according to the company’s board of directors, I now disclose important relevant information,”

"Haha", many people couldn't help but look at Matthew. The words of this Miss Zheng are very targeted!

But Matthew still looked calm.

"Actually, I didn't need to make this explanation specifically, because the relevant measures were scheduled to be released tomorrow. The reason why I made this explanation today is to prevent our professional media friends from being affected by some false opinions. Just based on speculation, I would write some reports that would make me regret it."

Feng Yiping originally did not agree with holding this press conference today and the website will be launched tomorrow. Wouldn't all the doubts and concerns disappear?

But Zheng Jiayi has considered it more.

If you don't respond publicly, it's quite like the default. Maybe other newspapers that are still waiting and watching will follow up quickly, and then quickly be slapped in the face by Netflix's new initiative the next day.

It feels good, but it is not a good idea to make too many media unable to get out of Taiwan and too many media feel embarrassed when they think of Netflix.

Zheng Jiayi's words were equivalent to refuting mercilessly. Finally, Matthew's face became darker.

He didn't think Zheng Jiayi and the others would be bluffing. He was sure that they would definitely have plans.

But at this moment, few people are paying attention to her. They are all looking at Zheng Jiayi, eager to know Feng Yiping's new measures.

"We have also prepared this new initiative for a very long time. Like Facebook, it is a cool website, and it is a website that has opened new fields,"

"What kind of website is it?" A reporter who could not wait to ask.

"I hope to keep it confidential for the more specific situation, but I promise that after tomorrow, everyone will know it,"

"Of course, I still have very important information to tell you. This is the website address of our website. The website will be online at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Everyone is welcome to click,"

"I also want to say that the slogan of our website is 'Show yourself'. I hope everyone will like it then,"

In fact, since youtobe has been in advance for a week, I don’t care about it one day ahead of time, but Cummins believes that today I will ask everyone to guess what type of website this is, and let those media help them expand their influence and do a free wave of publicity. That should be a good choice.

Indeed, after hearing this, many media have been conceiving the content of this report today, and without exception, they are related to the website Zheng Jiayi said that they can't guess.

I believe that after these two rounds of publicity yesterday and today, the American people who were not very expecting this matter will also be somewhat expectant, which would be great.

Expectation means being interested, and being interested is the prelude to like.
