Chapter 437

"The price is $50000 to $80000?" Fang zhe nodded, which is not much different from the price of Tesla model-s in his previous life.

According to Musk's explanation, the model-s series electric vehicles designed by Tesla this time are divided into three models, and the difference between these three models is mainly in the battery. Different batteries have different mileage and price.

The most expensive model-s car can run nearly 500 kilometers on a single charge. The estimated price is $80000, which is at least $30000 cheaper than the Tesla Roadster series released by Tesla!

Don't underestimate this $30000. In the United States, where the automobile industry is highly developed, the price of cars is much cheaper than that in China. Most mainstream cars on the market are about $20000-60000.

In other words, compared with Tesla Roadster series, the reduced cost of $30000 of model-s series is enough to buy another ordinary car. In previous lives, Tesla officially opened the market with model-s because of the reduced cost of $30000 and further improved automobile technology.

More than half an hour later, musk led Fang Zhe and his party to visit the whole production workshop. During this period, Fang zhe also had enough understanding of Tesla's production plan and production capacity. On his face, he showed more and more interest in Tesla.

Looking at the expression on Fang Zhe's face, musk felt that the time was ripe. He tentatively asked, "Mr. Fang Zhe, I wonder if you and Huizhong are interested in investing in Tesla!"

"Coming!" Fang Zhe's face remained unchanged. He believed that musk had seen that he was very interested in investing in Tesla. He didn't take the initiative to speak, just waiting for musk to speak first.

"Mr. musk, to be honest, I am very interested in investing in your company. However, as far as I know, your company has been at a loss since its establishment in 2003. The Tesla Roadster series released before has a high cost and the market response is not very good.

Therefore, I hope you can give me a reason to convince myself. I want to know what Tesla lives on and when Tesla can make a profit? "Fang zhe asked.

Musk stared at Fang zhe with a faint smile on his face. Although he knew Tesla was very sure to win the investment of Fang Zhe and Huizhong, the amount of investment at what price depends on the performance of his next answer.

"Mr. Fang Zhe, you are Chinese. China is known as the world's factory. What about the weather and environment in China? I think you should know very well that no one wants to live in a polluted environment. China has exchanged the environment for the rapid development in the past few decades, but now, like the United States and many developed countries around the world, China has begun to govern and protect the environment.

Fuel vehicles have been gradually eliminated from bus, taxi and other industries, and now they have spread to the field of private cars. Only electric vehicles are the future of the automotive industry, and Tesla is the most technologically leading company in the global electric vehicle industry.

Tesla represents the future of the automotive industry!

Do you want to know what Tesla lives on? What I can tell you is that Tesla lives on the technical accumulation we have worked hard in this industry for more than 7 years, on the support of people like you and me who dare to embrace the future, and on those people in the world who pay more and more attention to the environment and are willing to protect the environment.

I can't tell you exactly when Tesla will make a profit, but I know that if the sky around the world is blue in the future, Tesla must be the company that contributes to all this! "

Fang zhe has a faint smile on his face. In Fang Zhe's opinion, musk is not only a madman, but also an idealist full of reality. He is a madman, so he has done many things that rich people dare not do. He is an idealist, so Tesla and SpaceX invested by him are full of idealism, and he is also very realistic, Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Tesla live to this day.

"Happy cooperation!" Fang zhe said in English and stretched out his right hand to musk.

Musk was stunned for a few seconds. In fact, in order to convince Fang Zhe, he prepared several plans. What he said just now is just an idealistic routine. If Fang zhe doesn't eat this set, he plans to convince Fang zhe from many aspects such as Tesla's current shareholder composition or Tesla's financial situation, but he didn't expect, Fang zhe really eats this set!

Of course, Fang Zhe is a complete idealist. Of course, Fang Zhe is also a complete realist. If he hadn't been a reborn, he would have known Tesla's development like the back of his hand. I'm afraid that despite Musk's hype, he would have to seriously consider it like other investors, After all, in order to get low interest loans from the U.S. government, Tesla visited the then U.S. president in person.

Fang Zhe's "happy cooperation" disrupted Musk's subsequent preparations. While he was stunned, Fang zhe asked another thing:

"Mr. musk, I wonder if I have the opportunity to visit SpaceX, another company you founded?"

"SpaceX?" Musk subconsciously wanted to promise. Like Tesla, the private aerospace company SpaceX he invested in and founded is also a bottomless hole for burning money. If Fang zhe can invest, he would be more willing.

However, after only two or three seconds, musk realized Fang Zhe's identity. He was Chinese!

Therefore, musk can only refuse apologetically:

"Sorry, Mr. Fang Zhe, you know what SpaceX does, aerospace business. Our main business and partner is NASA. Without their permission, even I can't take outsiders there."

Fang zhe showed a regretful expression on his face. His curiosity about SpaceX is far better than Tesla. After all, building rockets is much taller than building cars.

Unfortunately, with the relationship and environment between China and the United States, Fang Zhe, let alone investing in SpaceX, is not an easy thing to visit!

However, it's man-made. As a reborn person, he also exists as the protagonist in the novel. Even if he can't invest in SpaceX now, it's not difficult to visit it!

Therefore, Fang zhe said:

"Mr. musk, I heard that SpaceX is improving the living environment of its employees recently. Personally, I am willing to fund $1 million free of charge. I hope they can have better energy to contribute to the cause of human space exploration!"
