Chapter 917 Will there be a future?
Selena is a woman and has no interest in cars. She only saw an ordinary sports car.
However, she also knew that this was a pure electric car different from a fuel car. Tan Xiaotian was extremely solemnly asking her to invest in Tesla, which definitely made him a reason.
"Mr. Musk, can I test drive?"
"sure."
Musk diligently opened the cab door for Selena.
Selena sat in and looked at the interior of the car carefully. The most intuitive feeling was that it was simplicity. Without the fancy buttons of traditional cars, it showed simplicity and grandness everywhere.
The car door on the other side opened and Musk also sat in.
He introduced the characteristics of tesla roadster in detail to Selena, "Ms., you can try to fire. I want to explain in advance, and I will definitely give you a surprise."
Musk had a sly and confident smile on his face.
Selena inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it.
There was almost no vibration, and the indicator light in front of the driver's table turned on.
Selena was a little uncomfortable, so what started?
So quiet?
Even the best fuel car will feel the engine vibration when the car is on fire, but this is the best thing for pure electric cars, which will completely prevent you from feeling abnormal movements.
"We can drive out for a ride."
Musk encouraged, and at the same time, he also introduced the gear of the tesla roadster to Selena.
Unlike most traditional cars, the tesla roadster's gear is behind the steering wheel, which is extremely simple, with only four gears, forward, reverse, neutral and parking gear, which is very convenient to operate.
Selena hung up the forward gear and gently stepped on the accelerator. Tesla roadster slid forward silently.
Selena was not able to hear the buzzing engine sound, but after driving for a while, she fell in love with this quiet driving experience.
Musk sat next to Selena, giving her a guide while secretly observing Selena's perfect side face.
"Beautiful Miss Selena, I wonder if I don't have the honor to invite you to dinner?"
Selena smiled sweetly, raised her left hand, and showed Musk her wedding ring, "I'm afraid it won't work. My lover will get angry when he finds out."
Musk's heart was cold at that time. He laughed a few times, "I didn't expect Miss Selena to get married at such a young age."
"Mr. Musk, my lover is also a woman, and I have no interest in men."
Selena glanced at Musk with her captivating violet eyes and explained seriously.
So that's it! Musk feels relieved now.
This gave him more or less some comfort to him.
In life, the talented Musk is actually very romantic. He has experienced three marriages in total, among which his second wife is the actress Dalula Riley, a beautiful blonde beauty. His girlfriend after him is the famous queen Amber Hilde, who is also a charming beauty.
Since we can't talk about love, let's talk about money! Although the future market for pure electric cars is extremely broad, it is too expensive to develop new products, and it has caught up with the damn financial crisis. Even Musk is having a headache when facing the high R&D funds.
In 2008, it was Tesla's darkest moment. The company's capital chain had broken and Musk's personal money was used up. He had always been on private planes before and had to choose cheap Southwest Airlines.
Now the company spends $4 million a month, which is like a heavy mountain pressing on Musk's head.
His conversation and laughter just now were all pretending to be timid, just to avoid showing timidity in front of the investment company.
As soon as he received a call from TL Investment, he keenly realized that Tesla's life-saving straw might be this company with a large amount of cash.
Selena drove a tesla and roadster around outside. I have to say that the driving experience of a pure electric car is really unspeakable, and there is no annoying engine roar, which is very suitable for Selena.
Musk also saw from Selena's expression that the Queen of Wall Street was very satisfied.
It seems that this investment is promising.
Back at Tesla's headquarters, Selena asked Musk several questions.
1. How to solve the charging problem of pure electric cars?
It is not a small project to build a charging station that is spread all over the country like traditional gas stations.
2. Battery life problems, especially in cold areas, where the battery power drops quickly, or in hot areas, turning on the air conditioner will cause the power to drop rapidly.
This is obvious that Musk is prepared. He is not worried but happy. The guests who find fault are the real guests.
"Miss Selena, believe me, all the problems you mentioned can be solved, but I need funds and time..." Musk's explanation was full of confidence.
TL flew to San Francisco again and started a new round of negotiations. In the end, Selena exchanged $200 million for Tesla's 20% stake.
On the night after the contract was signed, Selena reported this situation to Tan Xiaotian at the hotel she was staying.
"Dear, if it weren't for your stop, I would even acquire a controlling stake in Tesla."
Selena is a little resentful about Tan Xiaotian's philosophy of not controlling or participating in the business.
"Selina, Tesla will definitely succeed in the future, but the premise is that Musk is still in this company. Musk, like Jobs, is a once-in-a-century talent. If you take away his control, the consequences will be difficult to say. Believe me, this investment will bring you unimaginable amazing profits in the future."
On the other end of the phone, talk about Xiaotian’s patient explanation.
Selena is completely convinced of her husband's magic. The reason why she complains is just some small romantic feelings between the couple.
While the two were talking about love, the door rang.
Selena went to open the door, Musk stood outside, smiled at her, and held a bottle of wine in his hand.
"Selina, I took a bottle of wine. I heard that the ladies like this wine very much and is the most popular now."
Musk turned the bottle and revealed the trademark.
Selena was stunned. This wine was so familiar. It was the Hongyan Light Wine produced by Xiaotian Winery.
Musk came to my room so late and brought a bottle of wine. What does it mean?
Selena's big eyes narrowed, a little unhappy.
Musk is an extremely smart genius, and you can tell that Selena has misunderstood at first glance.
"Miss Selena, I actually have another investment to talk to you. In this way, the wine will be left behind and I will wait for you in the bar on the second floor of the hotel."
Musk politely handed Hongyan Qingwu to Selena, turned around and walked towards the elevator.
Selena's face looked better. She was holding a phone in her hand and told Tan Xiaotian what had just happened.
Unexpectedly, Tan Xiaotian was excited, "Selina, if I guess correctly, Musk must have found you for his spacex company. If he needs money, he can invest it to him, how much is it okay?"
"Is that the company that makes rockets?"
Selena expressed some doubts, "Dear, such companies are generally led by the government. Will civil aviation companies have a future?"
