Chapter 4703

Be the enemy of Lin Feng?

It takes a lot of courage. At least for most people, it's hard to summon up the courage to be Lin Feng's enemy. Besides, the price offered by Lin Feng is really tempting. It is difficult for him to refuse to buy his controlling interest for us $500 million.

That's the deal!

"Mr. Lin, it's better to be friends with you than enemies with you! It's a deal Elon Musk holds Lin Feng's hand.

"Indeed, I have four words for my friends, one word for my enemies, the autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "thank you for Mr. Musk's success!"

"Mr. Lin, I also have a premise, that is, I hope to retain a little shares. I want to see how Tesla will eventually go under the leadership of Mr. Lin!" Elon Musk pleaded.

"Of course, that's what I want!" Lin Feng smiles.

What he wants is a controlling interest, while Elon Musk owns 73% of Tesla, and he only needs 51%. Of course, they all paid US $500 million. In the end, Lin Feng got 70% of the shares and retained 3% for Elon Musk. After all, in the past four years, Elon Musk has paid a lot for Tesla to make it mass-produced. At present, the only dilemma is that the cost is too high. The pre price was $100000, but now the cost is $120000!

How do you sell this? Sell one, lose one.

"Mr. Lin, the company's biggest dilemma now is cost control besides money. Do you have any idea? " Asked Elon Musk.

Lin Feng smiles.

"About this, I think, we have to wait for someone to come!" Lin Feng looked at his watch and said, "well, he should be here!"

Waiting for someone? Elon Musk in a daze, who else will Lin Feng pull into the game? But when he saw someone coming, he was stunned. This person he can't be more familiar with is the founder of Tesla, Martin Eberhard, who was originally an engineer. At first, he wasn't planning to set up a car company.

At the beginning, Martin Eberhard only saw the EV-1, an electric car developed by general motors, and thought it was good to use an electric car. However, after GM produced more than 2000 vehicles, the EV-1 found that it was unable to make ends meet and was a loss, so it was shut down. At that time, the media also wrote an article "who killed the electric car" to evaluate the incident.

Later, the chief engineer of EV-1, Al kokoni, was unwilling to fail. Later, he developed a lead-acid battery car t-zero for one person. Martin Eberhard is very interested in t-zero. He spent 150000 US dollars to have al kokoni refit him with a lithium battery. After the first charge, he ran 480km.

This made Martin Eberhard interested in making electric cars. However, Al coconi was not too interested in it. He could customize it privately, but he was not willing to build the company, so eventually Martin Eberhard founded Tesla.

However, there was a lack of funds. Later, Elon Musk was brought in to inject capital and become the largest shareholder, and demanded the chairman and management rights. Martin Eberhard became the CEO of the company. Unfortunately, in recent years, the cost control is not ideal. Originally, it was thought that manufacturing a Tesla would only cost $70000, but in the end, the cost is as high as $120000. Therefore, Elon Musk was angry and fired Martin Eberhard. Today, although Martin Eberhard still holds part of the stock, he does not work in the company. And it is reported that his shares have been sold to Sergey Brin of Google and Jeff Skoll of eBay. Of course, in the current situation, the two companies also want to inject capital, but they were rejected by Elon Musk.

Never thought, refused Sergei Brin, Elon Musk still failed to refuse Lin Feng. Of course, all this is done. Now Elon Musk is concerned about how Lin Feng solves the cost problem.

"On the question of cost, it's very simple. Increase the price!" Lin Feng said very easily.

What's the price increase? Elon Musk and Martin Eberhard are both black faced. The original pre order price of 100000 was raised to 110000. Many customers complained, and even many customers had nerves to cancel the order and increase the price!

"Martin, your initial idea is very good. Selling the concept of environmental protection can really attract some successful people to buy it, but you can't make any money just by this. Since we are playing with concepts, we must take the high-end route! " Lin Feng said, "how rich are the people in the world now? A lot, a lot, what do they care about? That's the concept! Since Tesla is not a car for civilian sales, it will hype the concept of electric car to the end! "

Martin Eberhard and Elon Musk both frown. They naturally understand the hype. But the only concept Tesla can hype is the electric car. What else can be hyped about the concept of environmental protection?

Lin Feng laughs, then takes out the paper and pen, and takes out a model.

As soon as Martin Eberhard saw it, he knew what it was and cried out, "perpetual motion machine!"

Perpetual motion machine (PMSM) is a kind of so-called machine that can move continuously and do external work without external input of energy or energy or with only one heat source. A machine that can always do external work without consuming energy violates the law of conservation of energy, so it is called "the first type of perpetual motion machine". In the absence of temperature difference, a machine that continuously absorbs heat from the sea water or air in nature and converts it into mechanical energy continuously violates the second law of thermodynamics, so it is called "the second type of perpetual motion machine".

"What we need to do is the second kind of perpetual motion machine! This is our biggest stunt Lin Feng said with a smile, "you two, how many people do you think will pay for the perpetual motion machine?"

Martin Eberhard was directly excited. To be honest, he was very reluctant to be expelled from Tesla. Now that he has a chance to come back, he is very happy. Even if he doesn't own shares now, he is still happy. In particular, Lin Feng's concept of "perpetual motion machines of the second kind" will be very attractive.

Elon Musk also strongly supports the concept of hype. Today's rich people, the most favorite is to play the concept. They don't care about the price, they care about whether it is unique or not, and whether others can't buy it. This is the key.

Solar car! Under this concept, Tesla instantly became a hot topic. The original concept of Tesla's electric green car has attracted the attention of the outside world, but now the concept of solar permanent car is even more attractive.

The perpetual motion machine itself is an incredible thing in physics. And now it's incredible to have it implemented. Although Tesla also announced that due to the launch of the solar perpetual motion machine, Tesla will postpone the listing, and will only accept bookings, and its price will be increased from the original $110000 to $250000!

250000 dollars, enough to buy Ferrari 458 in the United States, because the brand new Ferrari 458 just sold for 250000 dollars! This price, that is, Tesla's target is directly directed at the Ferrari 458!

So will there be a response? Yes, there are many.

There are a lot of rich people in this world. They don't care about paying 250000 dollars for a car. 250000 dollars, for the poor, is an astronomical figure, but for the rich, it's really just pocket money. For the rich, it's a very cost-effective and interesting thing to buy today's unique "solar car" with a little pocket money.

So orders are pouring in almost like snowflakes. In less than six hours, almost half of the people in Silicon Valley ordered a "solar car.". In other countries in the world, there are many orders from the rich.

It's too much of a gimmick.

And because Lin Feng has launched a solar powered perpetual car, international oil prices have fallen. Originally, OPEC wanted to reduce the price of oil to $70 to compete with new energy, making people think that fuel vehicles are not expensive at all. However, with the introduction of the concept of solar powered perpetual motion vehicle, the oil price has plummeted to $60! This is a little unbearable.

Zaid, Al Thani, these Arab chiefs, are all shocked and angry. Before that, it was just a solar car. Now it's a perpetual motion car. Is it such an exaggeration! Is this solar technology so powerful! If so, who will buy their oil! Since it can be a solar car, it can be a solar car. Who needs oil then! If no one buys oil, they are just a group of local tyrants, and they will not become the envy of Arab oil chiefs.

Damn it, don't those people blush! Zaid and other chiefs gnash their teeth.

If this is to be developed, they will be finished!

But this solar perpetual motion machine, is it possible? There is no such exaggeration!

Indeed, it sounds a bit exaggerated. But it's no exaggeration. In fact, with today's solar technology and Tesla's battery technology, the installation of 200kwh battery pack for each car in the early stage is enough to ensure that the car can run about 1500km (enough to meet the needs of almost the majority of people). According to the solar energy technology that Lin Feng has mastered, it takes nearly four days, that is, 16 hours of sunshine time, before it can be full of sunlight.

However, Lin Feng has a compromise to solve this problem.
