Originally, Lu Zhou was just wandering around the exhibition hall, but he didn't expect to meet an old opponent that he had fought with in the past.
After chatting with Elon for a bit, Lu Zhou left the booth and looked at President Gong with a puzzled expression.
"Is Space-X also at the summit?"
President Gong knew why Lu Zhou asked this, so he smiled and said, "Of course, the Asian market is open to the rest of the world. We don't have any preset thresholds or positions, and we don't engage in unilateral trade discrimination. This is why we were able to withstand the pressure from North America and develop to the point where we have more than 90 partners."
At this point, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly added a sentence as if pointing out something.
"Speaking of which, I heard that Mr. Musk has been making a lot of noise in Shanghai recently."
Although Lu Zhou wasn't very interested in business matters, he was still a little curious about what the man called Iron Man did, so he asked with interest.
"What is it?
President Gong: "They acquired a North American charging station company called Evgo. After business restructuring, they moved their headquarters and factory from North America to Shanghai. They plan on rolling out their own charging station equipment in Shanghai. Even though there are some concerns about this company from North America, apparently, the relocation of their headquarters and factory to Shanghai has won the favor of the Shanghai authorities and relevant departments. Plus, Tesla's' Super Factory 'in Shanghai has provided a lot of jobs, so their progress has been quite smooth so far. "
Even though China had made a decision to standardize batteries through an industry conference a few years ago, this didn't mean that there was no market for the charging station industry.
After all, the cost of replacing a battery was definitely more expensive than charging a charging station. Currently, only gas stations were doing this business. Even though it had the advantage of convenience on the highway, the advantage was quite limited in the city.
Especially with the improvement of charging technology, charging station coverage was further expanded to include parking spaces in residential areas and shopping malls. Users could completely charge during parking hours, which was more convenient than replacing a battery at a gas station!
Obviously, Musk's ambition was clear.
Combined with the concept of the Yangtze River Delta city group that Chen Yushan mentioned to him before the New Year, Lu Zhou suddenly vaguely understood something.
"… They plan to open Tesla charging stations in Shanghai?"
"Yes." President Gong nodded with approval. He said, "Or more accurately, we will build charging stations that belong to Tesla and are compatible with other alternative energy vehicles. Then, we will sell the electricity produced by our nuclear power plant to our people."
F * ck, this idea is quite creative!
Lu Zhou couldn't help but ask, "Will the Shanghai government agree?"
President Gong smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if Shanghai is willing or not, this is the market's behavior. Of course, we can use methods outside the rules of the game, but it's not a good thing to break the rules of the game, especially when we are planning to bring this city to the world."
Lu Zhou thought for a while. He then shook his head and spoke.
"It's too troublesome for me to think about these problems …"
Sigh, academia is more suitable for me!
Even though academia wasn't a pure ivory tower, at least he only had to deal with some academic problems. As long as he was strong enough, he didn't have to worry about the academic world at all. People would take the initiative to arrange things for him.
But now, he felt like he had touched the ceiling of academia.
From the Lunar Orbit Committee to the ILHCRC, he felt that it was difficult for him to leave everything behind like he did during the controllable fusion project.
It wasn't that he couldn't do it, it was that he couldn't.
Without him, he would not be able to handle these things. To put it simply, the new waves of the Yangtze River would always surpass the old, but there was still a long way to go. He could 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 spend our long lives. After all, we can't research how to do nuclear fusion and solve mathematical conjectures! "
President Gong smiled casually and suddenly changed the topic. He waved his hand and changed the topic.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. If Academician Lu is interested, you might as well go to the Pan-Asian High-Tech Industry Development Conference. The country plans on investing 50 billion yuan to support the development of high-tech industries. The things discussed there are related to academia. If you have any good suggestions, you can also bring them up at the conference. "
Even though Lu Zhou understood President Gong's good intentions, he still shook his head and declined.
"I've had enough conferences in the past few days, I'll pass."
Basically, he was just here to walk around. Also, he was here to accompany Chen Yushan.
As for creating a bunch of trouble for himself, once or twice was enough. He couldn't take it anymore.
When President Gong heard Lu Zhou's words, he knew what Lu Zhou was thinking. He smiled and said, "Okay then, if you just want to walk around, there are also some startup roadshows. You should be interested in them."
Lu Zhou: "Then I'll walk around in a bit."
President Gong smiled and nodded. "It's getting late. I still have to prepare for the meeting, so I won't disturb you any longer."
…
Tesla's China general manager, Bevis, looked at Musk and asked curiously, "Space-X, Space-X, Space-X, Tesla's China regional general manager, looked at Musk and asked.
"… What did you say you would do if you were reborn ten years ago?"
Even though it was unrealistic, he was still curious about what his boss was going to say.
Musk stared at Lu Zhou and said, "I'll do everything I can to convince him. If I can't, I'll go to Congress and the national security department. I'll make those idiots realize that this person has knowledge that could threaten America's national security and future … If that doesn't work, I'll strangle him. Anyway, the lithium-sulfur battery has already been invented, so controllable fusion doesn't matter. We can do the rest ourselves. "
Actually, what Bevis really wanted to ask was, are you sure you can beat a young man in his twenties? Also, it's obvious that you exercise a lot.
However, he felt like this question was too hurtful. Therefore, he assumed that Elon Musk had the upper hand in a hand-to-hand fight.
"… And then send myself to jail?"
Musk shrugged and said, "Isn't that just a hypothetical situation? Life is so boring, can't I even fantasize about it? "
Beavis opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his shoulders soon relaxed helplessly. Finally, he sighed and said, "Don't worry.
"… Okay then, I understand how you feel."
Space-X was Elon's dream.
Even though this business wasn't very profitable, he still placed it in the most important position.
However, even though he had poured so much effort into this business, he was still defeated by the sudden rise of China's aerospace industry.
This wasn't something an ordinary person could handle.
Musk didn't notice the sympathy in his confidant's eyes. He watched Lu Zhou disappear from his sight and turned to look at Bevis. Suddenly, he waved his hand and gestured for Bevis to listen.
Musk looked around and made sure no one was paying attention to him. He then lowered his voice and spoke.
"Listen, I don't care what the White House thinks, we're a company. If we can make more money from other countries, that would be the greatest help to our country.
"Ever since the construction of the Pangu reactor, China's intention to accelerate the process of urbanization has become more and more obvious. I have talked to a few of my friends in China about this issue. There are obvious signs that Beijing is using the energy dividend brought by controllable fusion to try to build a city larger than Shanghai. It's called the Yangtze River Delta City Group.
"If they succeed, it will be a miracle in human history. The land under our feet will become the Los Angeles of the Pacific Ocean, or even greater than Los Angeles! "
As if imagining the scene described by the BOSS, Bobby couldn't help but hold his breath. After a while, he muttered to himself.
"This … This is terrifying …"
"But this is an opportunity for us. Only new energy can support this huge blueprint. As long as we appear on this blueprint, we can share in their historical opportunities." Musk patted Bevis on the shoulder and said, "Do your best, I need you to represent Tesla and take over all of the new energy vehicle charging ports in Shanghai …
"At least 80% of the market share."
