While Aberhard ordered someone to lock the lab that had become empty and looked a little messy, he could be said to have witnessed another historical moment in Tesla, and called the bar to contact the bar.

At this time, there was obviously no suitable place near the park.

"Feng, you can only go to San Francisco," he caught up with Feng Yiping who was holding his arms around Musk.

"Then go to San Francisco, have a good time to have a drink tonight and have a holiday tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" These electromechanical engineers, who now seem almost as unkempt as computer engineers from other companies in the park, screamed in excitement.

It’s not necessarily because they are happy for the holiday. After working hard for so long, they finally achieved results. They also need to vent their depression and anxiety in their hearts for so long.

Such loud noise attracted the windows of other companies in the park, and people kept looking down.

At this time, the nextdoor campus felt like a university campus. The lights in the room were on. From the window, you could see someone moving inside, but you couldn't hear any sound.

On the sports field downstairs, there were several barefoot guys playing football, surrounded by colleagues wearing T-shirts and eating baking pies.

Not to mention that it was around ten o'clock, or at three or four o'clock in the morning, it was almost the same.

This is Silicon Valley, working hard and enjoying it happily.

In order to complete the work, they can take them in the office for a few days and only sleep for three or four hours a day. They can also be like Feng Yiping and the others now. With the results, they drove for dozens of minutes to San Francisco to find a bar to sing all night.

However, after all, they were very tired. After getting on the commuter bus, many people immediately fell asleep.

"I just said you won't let us down. You are a genius engineer," Feng Yiping couldn't help but praise Musk.

After he turned his focus to Tesla, he had been one of the several problems that had plagued the overall R&D process. He took one of them. Feng Yiping was very grateful for his original decision. The original team was indeed reliable.

Musk rubbed his cheeks, "The most important thing is that our R&D team has collected a lot of evidence and data, and based on these data, he has formulated a lot of plans," he said.

"Of course, these plans may not be all feasible, but many of us won't admit this,"

"One of the weaknesses of human nature is that when we decide something, we tend not to change that decision, even when facing the opposite facts,"

"And you know, I'm best at overturning other people's conclusions,"

Eberhard almost made a statement, "So you know this too!"

"Then, I compare the remaining options that may be feasible, and those with higher chances of success...it's that simple,"

"Haha, this is not simple," said Feng Yiping.

He actually knew what Musk said, that this is the "scientific method" that Musk has always pursued.

He also recommended this plan with Feng Yiping. The difficulty lies in it. Just like the Blue Ocean Strategy, many people understand the principles, but based on the specific situation, they often cannot draw the most correct conclusion based on the principles they already know.

Another difficulty in Musk solving this problem is that it seems that all roads lead to Rome, but after a short period of time, he can accurately find the best road with the least amount of locations that need to be transformed.

"I can only say that Musk has talent in engineering, just like Feng, you can easily see farther than us in many aspects," Eberhard, in the front row, interjected.

He should have said that he was very good at interjecting and fully demonstrated his generosity and kindness, but Musk seemed not to have a cold, "You guys talk, I'll take a break,"

You said you wanted to rest, so how could we chat again? Eberhard had to laugh silently.

Feng Yiping could only pat his shoulder twice to show comfort.

Just like before, Musk can indeed lead everyone to solve some difficult problems, but his misconduct from Eberhard is the same as before.

…………

After a short rest in the city of San Francisco, a car of people walked into a bar with their enthusiasm as they worked, chatted and laughed loudly, and immediately scattered.

The bar that Eberhard contacted has a lot of entertainment projects. The most important thing is that there are many men in the bar who have worked for a long time - there are only a few female engineers in the team, with their eyes lit up and their spirits.

Seeing that many guys were already chatting with people neatly, Feng Yiping smiled, "It seems that we are not ruthless enough to squeeze."

"Feng, I really have a different view on this. It's already hard enough to keep tense for so many months," said Straw. "The reason why everyone looks so energetic is mainly because of the excitement brought by success."

"Is that so? I really need to treat everyone well," he touched his pocket, and he was a little embarrassed, his pocket was empty.

Nowadays, I rarely put my wallet in. I left so urgently just now, so how could I bring this?

Musk took out a black card and handed it to a waitress behind the bar. "Take out all the good wine, the whole audience," he pointed to the bar and drew a circle, "We'll invite it,"

Suddenly, this guy gained the beauty of many women in the bar, including the bar girl.

By the way, even Feng Yiping felt that his move was really handsome!

Then, he said without hesitation, "Take out all your best champagne and we want to celebrate!"

Anyway, it’s not about paying for it yourself, and it’s not about spending money.

Musk looked at Feng Yiping and smiled.

It can be seen that he is actually quite happy now. That's right, this is a good idea for Tesla engineers, which proves his genius strength.

"Why, suddenly I'm not afraid of drinking?"

"If you are drunk, you will sleep here. At worst, we will book a hotel next to you. Anyway, this card is enough to swipe, isn't it?" Feng Yiping said.

He is naturally very happy.

Tesla can be said to be the project he has invested the most and put pressure on.

This was originally a very difficult project for R&D. Feng Yiping decided not to use other existing automotive platforms - Tesla's first car roadsters used the Lotus chassis, but all systems, and the decision to start R&D from scratch obviously increased a lot of difficulties.

To be honest, as more and more investors are introduced, the outside world's expectations are getting higher and higher. He is becoming less and less confident about the node of mass production in 2008.

But whenever possible, he obviously didn't want to be a voting king like Musk. The successful development of the motor system tonight gave him great encouragement.

"Congratulations again," he held the champagne and clinked glasses with everyone along the way.

"Actually, there is another factor that is crucial to our current results in such a short time," Musk said after sitting down.

"Is it funds?" Feng Yiping said.

Musk glanced at him, "Yes, it's the capital,"

This is also the main reason why Feng Yiping dared to boast about the results in 2008.

In the original history, Tesla had been making small fuss in the first few years, otherwise Musk would have only invested a few million US dollars to become Tesla's major shareholder and chairman.

But when it comes to Feng Yiping's hands, the money he spent in was close to $600 million as of the end of last month.

He originally held 60% of the shares, but after introducing several bigwigs one after another, his shareholding decreased to 54%, which means that he alone spent more than 300 million US dollars on it.

Originally, Tesla seemed to be on the scale of more than 100 people until 2006. Feng Yiping plundered an outstanding team of engineers with more than 1,000 people as soon as he came up.

The capital investment is more than ten times the original, and the employee size is also more than ten times the original - not to mention the average level of employees, it is also higher than the original Tesla. This is also the main reason why he is confident that he will achieve results in 2008.

With sufficient funds, sometimes it is still very combat-effective.

"Adequate funds are the prerequisite for us to achieve many breakthroughs," Musk said something similar to what Feng Yiping thought.

"Did the funding issue affect the progress of R&D on SpaceX?" Feng Yiping asked.

"Yes, it has a considerable impact," Musk sighed in a rare sigh.

"What a pity," he said to Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping understood what he said was a pity.

I am rich and have a good relationship with him, but obviously, they cannot cooperate with the spacex project.

The US government’s support for business is not just verbally.

Whether it is Musk's spacex (Space Exploration Technology) or Bezos' blue\origin (Blue Origin), they are supported by Nasa.

Nasa has opened a lot of technology to them.

Aerospace technology is in the category of cutting-edge technology for any country. Feng Yiping is currently a Chinese citizen. Given the relationship between China and the United States, it is best for him to not touch such a project.

Don’t think about investing through offshore companies with layers of packaging. Relevant institutions in the United States must be very strict in the review of these companies. No matter how well you package it, they can find it as long as they want to check it.

And they must have wanted to check, after all, if the launch vehicle is replaced with a warhead, it is a ballistic missile

Of course, these reasons need not be explained clearly, they can understand them by exchanging their eyes.

"If possible, look for Page and the others. The two of them are so much money that they worry about the financial management company," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

"I have this idea, but I'd better wait and see," Musk and Feng Yiping met for a while. "It's better to have a certain degree of results before talking,"

"I believe that this day will not be too far away," said Feng Yiping. "But everyone, although we have made great progress today, overall, the situation is not optimistic."

"It turns out that we have reached a consensus. After the R&D work is successfully completed, we do not consider the production issues of each component. Many of the products we designed are brand new components. It may take three years to evaluate and verify them," he said.

"That is, if you want to produce your works in 2008, you will have to do this work at the latest next year, that is, we will complete all the R&D work by the end of this year at the latest, and by the end of the year, it will only take more than half a year,"

"But look at our progress, the drivetrain is still stuck there at the moment,"

"And no matter what, the systems will take time to integrate them in the end,"

"So everyone, the bigger challenge is waiting for us,"

Although these words may not be what everyone wants to hear, it is his main responsibility to pour cold water into time to arouse everyone's fighting spirit once again.

"I think we can shorten the verification time," Musk said. "At the same time, we need to consider the production issues now, we need to produce core components ourselves, and we need to consider the design of the production line, which can be outsourced. It is best to start looking for an OEM factory now,"

"I will do these tasks," Eberhard immediately made a statement.

Their table is actually Tesla's current board of directors.

"Musk, I hope that in the future, you can continue to divide your energy into Tesla. Let's solve all the problems together," Straw said.

As a cto, his comprehensive ability is naturally unexplained, but there is still a clear gap with Musk in terms of ideas.

And in such a work, groundbreaking ideas are undoubtedly very important.

"Is that OK?" Feng Yiping asked Musk.

"I've been working at Tesla recently, and I hope to continue the current momentum," Musk said.

"I think this is fine. Come on, I wish us to end all R&D work by the end of this year," Feng Yiping stood up.

"Dry!"
