Be Lin Feng’s enemy?

This requires a lot of courage. At least for most people, it is difficult to muster up the courage to become Lin Feng’s enemy. What’s more, the price offered by Lin Feng is really tempting. It’s US$500 million to buy him.

It would be difficult for him to reject the controlling stake.

Then there is only a deal!

"Mr. Lin, they say it's better to be your friend than your enemy! Deal!" Elon Musk held Lin Feng's hand.

"Indeed, I only treat my friends with the utmost sincerity, and with my enemies, I only say the autumn wind to sweep away the fallen leaves!" Lin Feng chuckled, "Thank you, Mr. Musk, for your adult beauty!"

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

"Of course, that's what I wish for!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.

All he wanted was a controlling stake, and Elon Musk held 73% of Tesla's shares, so he only needed 51%. Of course, he paid US$500 million, and in the end Lin Feng got 70% of the shares and gave it to Elon Musk.

Elon Musk retained 3%. After all, Elon Musk has paid a lot for Tesla in the past four years so that it can be mass-produced. The only dilemma at present is that the cost is too high. The pre-sale price was originally US$100,000.

, but now the cost price is US$120,000!

How to sell this? If you sell one unit, you will lose one unit.

"Mr. Lin, the company's biggest dilemma today, besides money, is cost control. I wonder if you have any ideas?" Elon Musk asked.

Lin Feng smiled.

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

Waiting for someone? Elon Musk was in a daze. Who else would Lin Feng bring into the game? But when he saw the person coming, he was stunned. This person was very familiar to him. He was Martin Eberhard, the founder of Tesla.

He was originally an engineer, and he didn't initially plan to set up a car company.

At first, Martin Eberhard just saw the ev1, an electric car developed by General Motors, and thought it would be good to use an electric car. However, after GM produced more than 2,000 units, ev1 found that it could not make ends meet and was a loser, so he sold it to

It was closed. At that time, a media person wrote an article "Who Killed the Electric Car" to comment on this matter.

After that, Alcoconi, the chief engineer who participated in ev1 at the time, was not willing to fail, and later independently developed the tzero, a lead-acid battery vehicle for one person. Martin Eberhard was very interested in this tzero. He spent 150,000

US dollars, I asked Alcoconi to modify it with a lithium battery. After the first charge, it ran 480 kilometers.

This made Martin Eberhard interested. He wanted to make electric cars. But Alcoconi was not too interested in it. He could customize it privately. But he was unwilling to build a company, so in the end Martin

Eberhard founded Tesla.

However, there was a lack of funds, so Elon Musk was later invited to invest in the shares. Elon Musk became the largest shareholder and asked for the chairmanship and management rights. And Martin Eberhard became the company's shareholder.

CEO. Unfortunately, in recent years, cost control has not been ideal. I originally thought that it would only cost US$70,000 to build a Tesla. However, the cost turned out to be as high as US$120,000. Therefore, Elon Musk was so angry that he sold Martin Air to Tesla.

Eberhard was fired. Today, although Martin Eberhard still holds some shares, he does not work in the company. And it is reported that his shares have been sold to Google’s Sergey Brin and eBay’s

Jeff Skoll. Of course, under the current situation, the two companies also wanted to inject capital, but Elon Musk refused.

Unexpectedly, after rejecting Sergey Brin, Elon Musk still failed to reject Lin Feng. Of course, this was already a done deal. Now Elon Musk is concerned about how Lin Feng solves the cost problem.

"As for the cost issue, it's very simple, increase the price!" Lin Feng said easily.

Increase the price? Both Elon Musk and Martin Eberhard had a dark look on their faces. They raised the original reservation price of 100,000 to 110,000. Many customers complained, and many customers even had the nerve to cancel their subscriptions, and they also increased the price.

Not for sale!

"Martin, your original idea is very good. Selling environmental protection concepts can indeed attract some successful people to buy, but you can't make money just by relying on this. Since we are playing with concepts, we must go

High-end route!" Lin Feng said, "How many rich people are there in the world now? Many, many, what do they care about? It's the concept! Since Tesla is not a car sold to civilians, then it will hype the concept of electric cars to the end.

!”

Martin Eberhard and Elon Musk both frowned. They naturally understand this concept of hype. But the only concept Tesla can hype is electric vehicles and environmental protection concepts. What else is there to hype?

Lin Feng chuckled, then took out paper and pen and drew a model.

As soon as Martin Eberhard saw it, he knew what it was and exclaimed, "Perpetual motion machine!"

A perpetual motion machine is a so-called machine that can continuously move and do work without external input of energy, energy or only one heat source. A machine that can do work forever 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 sea water or air in nature and continuously converts it into mechanical energy violates the second law of thermodynamics.

Therefore, it is called "the second type of perpetual motion machine".

"What we are going to do is the second type of perpetual motion machine! This is our biggest gimmick!" Lin Feng chuckled, "Boy, when the concept of perpetual motion machine is introduced, how many people do you think will pay for it?"

Martin Eberhard immediately became excited. To be honest, he was very unwilling to be kicked out of Tesla. Now that he has a chance to come back, he is very happy. Even though he does not own shares now, he is still happy. Especially

The concept of 'perpetual motion machine of the second type' proposed by Lin Feng, he believes, will be very attractive.

Elon Musk also strongly agrees with the concept of hype. Today's rich people like to play with concepts. They don't care about the price, they only care about whether it is unique and whether others can't buy it. This is the most critical thing.

Solar-powered perpetual motion car! Under this concept, Tesla has instantly become a hot topic at the moment. Originally, the concept of Tesla’s electric environmentally friendly car attracted a lot of attention from the outside world, but now that the concept of solar-powered perpetual motion car has been launched, it has attracted even more attention.

Attractive.

Perpetual motion machine, in itself, is an incredible thing in physics. But now it has been realized, which is incredible. Although Tesla also announced that due to the launch of solar perpetual motion machine, Tesla will delay its launch.

, and will only accept reservations, and its price has also been increased from the original US$110,000 to a high price of US$250,000!

US$250,000 is enough to buy a Ferrari 458 in the United States, because the brand new Ferrari 458 happens to be sold for US$250,000! This price points Tesla directly to the Ferrari 458!

So will anyone respond? Yes, not only some, but many.

There are many rich people in this world, and they don’t care about spending $250,000 to buy a car. For the poor, $250,000 is an astronomical figure, but for the rich, it is really just pocket money.

That's it. And you can buy today's unique 'solar-powered perpetual motion car' with just a little pocket money. This is a very cost-effective and interesting thing for rich people.

Therefore, orders came in like snowflakes. In less than six hours, almost half of the people in Silicon Valley had ordered a 'solar-powered car'. In other countries around the world, orders from wealthy people were even higher.

It's quite a lot.

The solar-powered perpetual motion car is too much of a gimmick.

And because Lin Feng launched a solar-powered perpetual vehicle, international oil prices fell even more. Originally, OPEC wanted to suppress the price of oil to US$70 to compete with new energy sources, making everyone think that fuel vehicles are not expensive at all. However,

When the concept of this solar-powered perpetual vehicle was launched, the price of oil plummeted to $60! This was a bit unbearable.

Arab sheikhs such as Zeid and Al Thani were even more shocked and angry. Before, it was just solar cars, but now they have launched perpetual motion cars. Is it such an exaggeration? Is this solar technology so powerful? If so

, then who will buy their oil! Since you can have a solar-powered perpetual motion car, you can naturally use a solar-powered perpetual motion machine. Then, who will need oil! And if no one buys oil, they will just be a group of local tyrants, and they will not become

The Arab oil sheik that everyone now envies.

Damn it, aren't those people jealous? Zaid and other chiefs gnashed their teeth.

If this is really developed, they will be doomed!

But is this solar-powered perpetual motion machine possible? How can it be such an exaggeration?

Indeed, this sounds a bit exaggerated. But it is not an exaggeration at all. In fact, with current solar technology and Tesla's battery technology, installing a 200kwh battery pack on each vehicle in the early stage is enough to ensure

The car can run about 1,500 kilometers (enough to meet the needs of almost an absolute majority of people). According to the current solar technology that Lin Feng has mastered, it takes almost 4 days, or 16 hours of sunshine, to fully charge it.

However, Lin Feng has a compromise to solve this problem. (To be continued...)
