952 Musk's Ambition (2/4)

Chapter 952 Musk's ambition (24)

Originally, Lu Zhou was just wandering around in the exhibition hall, but he didn't expect to meet his old opponent who had fought against him in the air.

After exchanging greetings with Musk with a smile, Lu Zhou, who left the booth, looked at President Gong next to him with some doubts.

"Is the Space-X enterprise also at the summit?"

As if he guessed the reason why Lu Zhou would ask this question, President Gong smiled and explained: "Of course, the Asian market is open to the whole world. Our proposition has always been to not pre-set thresholds and positions, and not to engage in unilateral trade. Discrimination, and this is why we have been able to withstand the pressure from North America and now have more than 90 partners."

Speaking of this, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly added something pointed.

"Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Musk seems to be making a lot of noise in Shanghai recently."

Although he was not very interested in business matters, Lu Zhou was still a little curious about what the man called Iron Man did, so he asked with interest.

"What movement?

President Gong: "They acquired a North American charging pile company called evgo. After the business reorganization, they moved their headquarters and factories from North America to Shanghai, and planned to roll out their self-developed charging pile equipment in Shanghai. Although for this company from North American companies have some concerns, but it is said that the relocation of the headquarters and factories to Shanghai has won the favor of the Shanghai authorities and relevant departments, and Tesla's "super factory" in Shanghai provides a lot of benefits. Smaller jobs, their progress so far has been smooth."

Although Huaguo had made a decision on battery standardization by holding an industry meeting a few years ago, this does not mean that there is no market for the charging pile industry.

After all, the cost of directly replacing the battery is definitely more expensive than that of charging piles, and currently only gas stations conduct this business. Although it has the advantage of convenience on the highway, the advantage in the city is still quite limited.

Especially with the improvement of charging technology and the further expansion of the coverage of charging piles, covering parking spaces in residential areas and shopping malls, users can complete charging during parking hours, which is more convenient than finding a gas station to replace batteries!

Obviously, Musk's ambitions have been clearly revealed.

Combined with the concept of the Yangtze River Delta urban agglomeration that my senior sister mentioned to him years ago, Lu Zhou suddenly understood something vaguely.

"...They plan to roll out Tesla's charging piles in Shanghai?"

"Yes," President Gong nodded approvingly, "or to be more precise, it is to roll out charging piles that belong to Tesla and are compatible with other new energy vehicles, and then sell the electricity produced by our nuclear power plants to to our people."

Fuck, this idea is a bit creative!

Lu Zhou couldn't help asking: "Will the Shanghai ZF agree?"

President Gong smiled and said: "Whether Shanghai is willing or not, this is market behavior. Of course we can use means other than the rules of the game, but it is not a good thing to break the rules of the game frequently, especially when we intend to make this city When the city goes out to the world."

Hearing these words, Lu Zhou thought for a while, then shook his head and said.

"It's too much trouble for me to think about these issues..."

Hey, as expected, academia is more suitable for me!

Although academics are not pure ivory towers, at least what he needs to face are only some academic problems. As long as he has enough strength, there is no need to go to those detours other than academics. Others will take the initiative to arrange things for him that he didn't expect.

But now, he always feels that he has vaguely touched the ceiling of the academic world.

From the Lunar Orbit Construction Committee to the current IMCRC, he feels that it is difficult to withdraw and leave the troubles to the people behind him as he did in the controllable fusion project.

It's not that it can't, it's that it can't.

Without him, these things cannot be done at all. In short, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, but now the back waves are still far behind, so he can only stay on the beach and lie down for a while before going back.

"Haha, it's quite troublesome, but ordinary people like us always need some entertainment to pass this long life. After all, let us study how to engage in nuclear fusion and how to solve mathematical conjectures, and we can't do it!"

President Gong smiled casually, and suddenly changed the subject, waving his hand to change the topic.

"Let's not talk about this. If Academician Lu is interested, you might as well go to the Pan-Asian High-tech Industry Development Conference to see. The country plans to spend 50 billion to support the development of high-tech industries. What is discussed there, and You still have some connections in academia. If you have any good suggestions, you can also put them forward at the meeting.”

Although he understood President Gong's kindness, Lu Zhou still shook his head and declined.

"I've had enough meetings these days, let's forget it."

To put it bluntly, he just came here for a stroll, and to put it bluntly, he came here to accompany the senior sister.

As for finding a lot of trouble for himself, one or two times is enough, he really can't bear too much.

Hearing Lu Zhou's words, President Gong probably understood what Lu Zhou was thinking, so he said with a smile: "Well, if you just want to stroll around, in addition to the achievements of these large enterprises in the exhibition hall, there are also some entrepreneurial You should be interested in the company's road show."

Lu Zhou: "Then I'll take a look around later."

President Gong smiled slightly, nodded happily and said, "It's getting late, and I have to prepare for the meeting later, so I won't bother you by my side."

...

Beside the Space-X booth, watching the two people leave from the booth, Beavis, the general manager of Tesla China, looked at Mr. Musk and asked curiously.

"...You just said, if you were reborn ten years ago, what would you do?"

Although it was an unrealistic idea, he was very curious about the unfinished sentence of the boss.

Staring at Lu Zhou's back, Musk said with a bit of reluctance: "I will try my best to convince him, if not, go to lobby the congressmen, the national security department, and let those idiots realize that this person is mastering Knowledge that threatens the national security and future of the United States... If this still doesn’t work, strangling him to death with your hands is also a good choice. Anyway, lithium-sulfur batteries have already been born, and it doesn’t matter if controllable fusion comes later, we will do the rest ourselves also."

In fact, what Beavis wants to ask is, are you sure you can beat a young man in his twenties? And it's the kind that looks like it's exercising regularly.

But he felt that asking this question was too hurtful, so he tacitly assumed that the boss would have the upper hand in hand-to-hand combat, and temporarily changed his words.

"...and send yourself to prison?"

Musk shrugged, "Isn't this what it means? Life is so helpless, can't you even let me fantasize about it?"

Beavis opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but soon his shoulders relaxed with some helplessness, and he finally said with a sigh.

"...Okay, I understand how you feel."

Space-X is a BOSS dream.

Even though these businesses are not very profitable, he still puts them in the most important position.

However, even so, even though he has put so much effort into it, he is still repeatedly defeated in the face of the sudden rise of Huaguo's aerospace industry.

This kind of blow is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not noticing the sympathy in his confidant's eyes, Musk, who watched Lu Zhou's back disappear from sight, turned his head to look at Beavis, and suddenly beckoned, signaling him to bring his ears closer.

Looking around and no one noticed this, Musk said in a low voice.

"Listen, I don't care what the attitude of the White House is, but we are a business, and we can make more money from other countries, which is the greatest help to our country."

"Since the establishment of Pangudui, Huaguo's intention to accelerate the process of urbanization has become more and more obvious. I have talked about this issue with a few friends I have contacts in Huaguo and political circles, and there are obvious signs that Shangjing is With the energy dividend brought by controllable fusion, we are trying to build a city bigger than Shanghai, and its name is the Yangtze River Delta Urban Agglomeration.”

"If they succeed, it will become a miracle in the history of mankind. The land under our feet will become the Los Angeles of the Western Pacific, and even a greater city than Los Angeles!"

As if he had imagined the picture drawn by the BOSS, Beavis couldn't help holding his breath, and after a while, he muttered to himself.

"This... this is too scary..."

"But it is an opportunity for us. Only new energy can support this huge blueprint. As long as we appear on their blueprint, we can share their historical opportunity," patted Beavis on the shoulder, Musk gave him a positive look, "Come on, I need you to represent Tesla and take down all the charging ports of new energy vehicles in Shanghai..."

"At least, the market share must be more than 80%."
