ps: Starting tomorrow, I will add 5 updates to my book friend Qiu Zhi Shen Guang. Thank you for your silent support for me all the time!

They were in a good mood and naturally had a great appetite. The conversations they had before were very mentally consuming and physically exhausted. So, in the restaurant, before the starter came, the three of them quickly ate the two-frame small breads with the meal.

Fortunately, this is a high-end restaurant, otherwise the style of the three of them would really make people think too much. Given that the three of them did not wear any high-end clothes today, it is difficult to see from their appearance that two of them are actually billionaires.

Judging from Musk's appearance, it seems that he will continue the topic just now. Can I take a breath? Will I relax after a few hours of long talk just now?

Moreover, the intention to cooperate has been reached, and the next few are mainly serious topics, such as investment share, division of labor, etc. Such topics are not easy to discuss on the dining table.

"Have you both been to China?"

"Sorry, no," both of them shook their heads, looking a little embarrassed at the same time.

"So, should have had Chinese food?"

"I've eaten it, I like fish-flavored shredded pork," To prove it, Straw spoke a dish in a very weird Chinese.

"I like spicy chicken and mapo tofu," Musk seemed to be gritting his teeth, and finally published the names of two dishes in Chinese.

Fortunately, the three things they said were the ones that foreigners like the most. Otherwise, Feng Yiping would have to spend some effort to guess what they were saying.

People's preference for eating can also be seen. It seems that according to Grandpa Mao, it is not revolutionary to eat chili peppers. Musk likes to eat these two dishes. No wonder he has done so many pioneering things.

"The fast food-style Chinese food you eat is strictly speaking, it is just localized Chinese fast food. It is really not Chinese food. I welcome you to have time to go to China to see it. Chinese food is really as profound as Chinese culture."

"And many Chinese cuisines have emphasized nature hundreds or thousands of years ago. Now, the vegetarian trend led by Hollywood stars also has a tradition of thousands of years in our country,"

He was not nonsense. The devout Buddhists began to eat vegetarian food. It was from the time of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Liang Kingdom during the Southern Dynasties. This calculation has been nearly 1,500 years.

If we talk about history with inheritance and record, we really have no rivals in the world. Musk from South Africa and the authentic American Straw were shocked after hearing Feng Yiping's statement, 1,500 years ago?

"What a pity, I've only been to Australia," Musk said. "I really hope to experience it if I have time."

Feng Yiping also knew about his trip to Australia, that was that he and his current wife Justin were on their honeymoon and went to the Olympics. Then, he was removed from his position as paypal by his partner.

"I also hope that you can deeply examine China's huge market potential and efficient productivity," said Feng Yiping.

There is no way, to the point where he is, it seems difficult to chat seriously, and chat seriously, just to talk about serious business.

"We should focus on the market of more than one billion people," Musk said.

Without discernment, Feng Yiping knew that he must be just polite when he said this. This can be seen from Tesla's later layout.

When Tesla launched the S-series sports car, China was already the second largest economy in the world. At that time, Tesla also only said that it was important, let alone in the early 2000s.

"As my country's reform and opening up continues to deepen, in my country, there are more and more families with real purchasing power and wealth of more than one million US dollars, and infrastructure such as highways are becoming more and more perfect. Therefore, China's auto market has been very prosperous in recent years."

"I'll just talk about a simple set of numbers. In 2000, my country's automobile production and sales volume both exceeded 2 million. However, according to statistics from our Automobile Network, by the end of this year, this data will definitely exceed 4 million, close to 5 million, and double in three years. Taking into account other factors, it is conservatively estimated that by 2008, when my country hosts the Olympic Games, this number should be very close to 10 million!"

Sure enough, the numbers are still the most convincing. Before, if they were perfunctory, they really paid some attention now.

"And, due to tariffs and other reasons, in our country, you may not imagine that the price of some high-end cars is at least more than three times the price of foreign countries during the same period. For example, if the price of Mercedes-Benz's entry-level C-Class car in my country is converted into US dollars, you can definitely buy a low-end S-Class here."

This is the first time Musk and Straw have heard of this.

"In 2000, my dad bought a Buick Century. If the transaction price was converted into US dollars at the exchange rate at that time, it would have exceeded 50,000 US dollars."

"As for Mercedes-Benz's S-Series and BMW's 7-Series, the price in China is above 200,000 US dollars if converted into US dollars. However, such cars can be seen everywhere in many places in China, so there is no need to worry about the consumption capacity of Chinese consumers in automobiles,"

"The Buick with more than 50,000 US dollars, the S-S-Series with more than 200,000 US dollars?" Straw felt that it sounded like a fantasy.

"This situation seems to be going on for a long time, so I want to focus on the Chinese market from the beginning. The best way is to start production in China. This is why I hope that the two of you can also examine the quality and productivity of China's workers,"

"If we can produce 1,000 vehicles a month in the United States, then in China, because of the wages of workers and the overall production cost is lower, we can produce at least 2,000 vehicles a month," he said.

This is Feng Yiping's conservative estimate.

Tesla has been losing money for many years, which is also related to its limited production capacity every year.

Feng Yiping does not want Tesla, which he leads, to fall into a vicious circle where the stock price has been soaring, but the entity has been losing money.

How popular was Tesla S in China when it was first launched? If it could be supplied in time and the charging problem could be solved, Tesla's development might be completely different.

Therefore, from the perspective of personal interests, Feng Yiping decided from the beginning that he must put production in the country simultaneously in the future.

In addition, his decision certainly has other factors. Although it is impossible for Tesla to be born in China, he still hopes that Tesla, which is mainly himself, can drive the overall development of the domestic electric vehicle industry, and will not be clamoring to overtake in the electric vehicle field like later on, but in fact, it is also catching up in this field.

"If it's really as you said, then this plan is completely reasonable,"

How can they refuse such a thing as low cost and high productivity?

"I hope to go to China as soon as possible after hearing what you said," Musk said.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping was very pleased after hearing his statement. This was a plan he had already made. Even if other partners disagree, he still must be Musk's agreement in principle now, which would be better.

"I welcome you first," Feng Yiping raised his glass and said with a smile.

Because he was represented by various people too many times later, Feng Yiping is paying attention to this issue now. He did not say anything like "I welcome you on behalf of the hospitality Chinese people."

"Feng, you are running on both sides of China and the United States now, and you have a lot of work on both sides. I also have to focus on spacex now. So, who will be responsible for this company in the future?" Musk still raised this question.

"If you can serve as our cto, I think it is our honor," Feng Yiping picked up the wine glass and said to Straw.

He originally knew nothing about this person. In the past two days, he also collected a lot of his information and found out that this guy he thought was from the soy sauce party and turned out to be an authentic and powerful man.

This guy, who just passed his thirties this year, was born in a mechanical family in the United States. His great-grandfather's generation founded Straubel Machinery Company in the 1890s to produce the first batch of internal combustion engines for the American shipbuilding industry.

Influenced by the family's "do it yourself" concept, Straw was already a crazy geek when he was a teenager and began his own various attempts.

While studying at Stanford University, he successfully converted a dilapidated Porsche into an electric car by developing software, making control systems and charging equipment by himself.

He also took the car to Oregon to participate in the competition. Although the range is only about 30 kilometers, his car broke the world record and became the fastest electric car in the world at that time. It accelerated to 79.14 miles per hour in 17.28 seconds.

AACP's Allen doesn't come, Straw can be said to be the most suitable candidate for the technical director.

"No, I'm honored," Straw raised his glass and clinked them.

"Cheers," Musk said happily, who also believed Strau was the best person for this position.

Feng Yiping didn't know that this Straubel was later Tesla's cto, a Tesla hero hidden behind Musk, and also Musk's most inseparable technical partner.

"As for ceo, I have a suitable candidate for the time being. If nothing unexpected happens, he should contact me soon," said Feng Yiping. (To be continued.)
