Chapter 28: The weapon stronger than the ICBM turned out to be

Wei Lai's slightly exaggerated and highly inciting speech may seem unstable if it was in front of domestic elites like Xu Ji, Xu Xiaoran and Li Yinshi.

But for Musk, this direct and impressive style quickly moved him.

Everyone is a big shot and doesn't want their time to be wasted.

Of course, the same key is that Wei Lai, who holds the Lingyuan battery, has indeed hit Musk's weakness and has the strength to solve Musk's predicament.

"First: I will bring Tesla abundant cash and land, and ultimately a super factory that is very efficient and has very good cost control. Once this super factory is built, the situation that troubles Tesla selling one car will be completely solved."

"Second: Only Tesla has achieved localization, the savings in transportation and tariff costs can make Zhilai provide Tesla with cheaper batteries than LG Chem."

"Please pay special attention. Zhilai Technology's Lingyuan battery has an energy density of at least 50% higher than LG Chem, which means we are actually 50% lower in price! The great product competitiveness will make Tesla attract attention and US dollars."

"Third: Tesla will successfully gain a huge market of 1.4 billion people. An amazing opportunity that will allow Tesla to sell more than 500,000 cars per year!"

"If you promise me the next plan today, I can assure you that Tesla's revenue will surge and Tesla's stock price will increase by 100 times!"

"Wow..." Musk couldn't help but slamming his high-highlights: "I can't help but want to sleep, and now I'm going to have this beautiful dream. This dream is so sweet that I'm sure there is a deadly poison hidden inside."

"No, no, no... This is a more wonderful choice. I believe you can make the right judgment whether it is a poison or a Tesla antidote. Now, please let me tell you how to make this dream come true!" Wei Lai looked straight into Musk's eyes.

He saw vigilance, expectation and ambition in it.

Just be ambitious, Wei Lai smiled and continued to tell the complete cooperation plan with Tesla.

"First: Zhilai has invested in Tesla China, set up a super factory in the country to produce Tesla electric vehicles and sell them."

"The first phase of the factory with an annual output of 250,000 vehicles is at least eight months and no more than one year. This super factory can be built in the first phase. After the complete super factory is built, the goal of 500,000 vehicles will be achieved. Tesla China's management is under your responsibility, and the battery is provided by Zhilai Technology. The location is selected by Zhilai Technology. The shares are 55."

"Zhilai Technology invested 1 billion yuan to obtain at least 900,000 square meters of land for Tesla's Chinese super factory and invested in it. I know that even if Tesla builds a super factory in China, it will take a full $2 billion. You don't have money, but now... it's not a problem! We will advance this money and repay it in installments from subsequent profits."

"Second: beyond imagination tax reductions, preferential water and electricity prices, perfect peripheral supporting facilities, and a low-interest unsecured loan of RMB 20 billion from the bank's perspective!"

"When Tesla becomes domestically produced, believe me, Tesla will achieve sales of 500,000 vehicles a year! After the domestic production, Tesla will gain an unparalleled price advantage, thereby exploding its amazing revenue strength."

"If you go to the military parade, you will definitely become a weapon to appear after the intercontinental missile. This damn lethality, this damn temptation..." Musk looked at Weilai deeply and sighed: "I never thought about what day he might agree to jointly produce Tesla with someone else."

"But I have to say, man, you succeeded in making me think about this idea seriously for the first time." Musk said: "I need time to think about it seriously. Well, let's leave this night with a wonderful praty. You and I need to enjoy and relax."

...

Musk did not continue to stick to this topic with Wei Lai.

Wei Lai was not surprised by this. In fact, when Tesla entered China last year, there were constant rumors about his girlfriend, and rumors were leaked from several large domestic automakers.

The most core problem of Tesla not promoting domestic production is: Tesla requires a sole proprietorship and is unwilling to engage in joint ventures.

At the same time, all foreign car companies entering China need to join the joint venture with domestic car companies. This policy has made Tesla's domestic production slow.

Therefore, according to the original schedule of time and space, Tesla's localization had to go through two or three years of stalemate until Tesla was allowed to build a factory by the official senior management, and Shanghai City gave it extremely amazing preferential policies, which allowed Tesla to settle in Shanghai City.

This shows how persistent Musk is to be with sole proprietorship.

In just one or two hours, Wei Lai didn't plan to convince the other party so simply.

However, he already felt that Musk was really moved.

All of this is still strength after all.

And it must be that kind of hard and strong enough to impress the other party.

Lingyuan Battery obviously has such strength, and the financial and policy advantages of other domestic automakers seem insignificant to Musk in the face of such scarce core technologies.

...

After the party held by Musk, Weilai washed up and changed into clothes, and walked alone in the bustling fragrant city.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Wei Lai has visited Xiangcheng since returning to Earth.

The prosperous Oriental Pearl activated Wei Lai's heart of strolling and eating. In order not to be recognized and not to have extra trouble, Wei Lai put on a little makeup, then threw out a fluent American English and started to start the strolling and eating mode in Xiangcheng.

Dragon and Phoenix Ice Room, Lanfang Garden, Bingji Tea House, Heyitai Snacks, Kunji Cake Experts...

In the past three days, Weilai did not look for Musk, but became a very satisfied foodie in the entire Xiangcheng City.

When the time pointer quietly slipped to 6:00 on July 13, 2015, Weilai and Musk still had no contact, which meant to break the deadlock.

Today, Wei Lai still picked up the map with great enthusiasm and selected the navigation target to the Shunxing Chezai Mian big brand in the first alley of Dakeng Jing Street.

Weilai ordered a signature char siu egg and shrimp for dinner.

The scrambled eggs softened, and the red and yellow char siu overlapped, which made Weilai's appetite wide.

But... just when Wei Lai picked up the chopsticks, he suddenly felt a chill pouring from his back into his spine.

Wei Lai immediately got up to the front shop, and suddenly heard the screams of the entire food stall and instantly remembered.

"Ah! Someone has used a knife!"

"Help!"

"Bloody!"

...

Wei Lai turned his head and saw blood flowing from his close bodyguard behind him. He pulled hard at a person next to him wearing a black hat, black coat, and black face covering.

At this moment, in the crowded crowd, there seemed to be dozens of people in similar clothes signaling each other and surrounding Wei Lai.
