agreed to invest in aerospace with Elon Musk, and Li Mu suddenly had a deeper understanding of the middle-aged man in front of him.
Foresight is a rare and valuable skill of an entrepreneur, and the farther and more accurate the foresight, the greater the space for entrepreneurs to develop.
Elon Musk at least 2oo2 years ago saw the vast prospect of commercial satellite launches, which is unimaginable to ordinary people, even now, most people dare not imagine that in the future there will be any company to launch their own satellites, most people's minds, satellites and missiles, are the national machine can only run the level of hardware, but in a few years, the world's top 500 companies, there will be a large number of companies to develop their own satellites, and look for the most cost-effective launch services in the world.
What SpaceX sees is such a futuristic market that is difficult for others to see.
Elon Musk's vision makes Li Mu sigh to himself in this regard.
At this time, Elon Musk did not expect that his commercial space program would be recognized by Li Mu, which was really not easy.
He once told many people about this idea, but unfortunately, almost everyone felt that they had a problem with their brains, and there was no one who recognized it, let alone let them invest money, and now, Li Mu not only recognized his idea, but also was willing to invest a lot of money to support himself, which really made him feel moved by the death of a confidant.
Elon Musk sighed: "Boss, it's not easy to meet a person like you, I've been looking for investors for spaceX for so long, and no one is willing to invest a penny except you, so that I have already made a decision myself, and when it's time to cash out the shares of Paypa1, I will cash out immediately, and then invest ...... myself"
Li Mu said with a smile: "The reason why I am willing to invest is not how optimistic I am about this project, but mainly because I am very optimistic about you, I think that the most intelligent investment should not be to look at project investment, but to look at people to invest, I think you are very promising, then I will invest in you." ”
Saying that, Li Mu said: "I invested millions of dollars in a college student at Harvard a few days ago, he has nothing, only a computer and an idea, but it doesn't matter, I am optimistic about him, I believe that he can succeed, just as I believe that you can succeed." ”
"Boss, thank you, you can trust me so much, this is really the greatest recognition for me!"
Elon Musk was really moved by the young man in front of him who was ten years younger than himself, and when he heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.
Sometimes, the entrepreneur who is determined to innovate is like a lonely boat traveling far away in the bitter sea, in this vast sea full of dangers, he can't see a person in the same direction as himself, lonely and fearful, in this case, what he hopes most is to be able to meet like-minded people to walk together, alleviate loneliness and reduce fear.
However, it is difficult to meet like-minded people on this unusual route, and even if there are occasional people who cross paths, instead of being willing to lend a hand, they will all laugh at their own direction and their weakness.
Elon Musk felt that he was like a lone traveler driving such a flat boat, and Li Mu was the owner of a huge fleet, he not only recognized his choice, but even picked out a huge ship from his fleet and handed it to himself, and said to himself: "Drive this big ship forward, I believe you can find the new big 6 you want!"
Seeing Elon Musk's eyes red, Li Mu knew that his strategy for attacking the heart had some results, Elon Musk may not be as good as Mark Zuckerberg in terms of ability to make money, but this person is really unusual, although he relied on the Internet to make the first pot of gold, but he is unwilling to be in this industry. Following the rules of this industry to continue to develop, he chose two unprecedented roads, and it turns out that these two roads, which were not originally roads, were opened up into two Yangguan avenues by himself.
So, Li Mu said to him: "Elon, I appreciate your unique ideas, and different thinking patterns from others, I now have a very abundant cash flow in my personal hands, if you have other ideas, even if it is just an idea that you are not sure of, as long as you want to do it, you can tell me, I will invest in you without hesitation, and at least more than 100 billion US dollars." ”
Elon Musk was completely stunned, the weight of Li Mu's words was too heavy, which made the original feeling of Li Mu in his heart a little more sublimated.
In fact, the reason why Li Mu said this is to get the Tesla project out of his mouth.
Compared with SpaceX, Li Mu wants his Tesla more.
SpaceX is awesome, but the applicability is far less than Tesla, Tesla's awesomeness lies in the fact that they have led a new era, new energy vehicles are completely a new industry driven by Tesla, not to mention how much profit, the influence alone is not within the reach of ordinary projects.
Moreover, according to the previous Elon Musk's technology chain, Tesla's technology chain is more mature, and the applicability of expansion and extension is also stronger, Li Mu has the impression that Tesla has a very strong technical accumulation in several major directions such as electric motors, battery management, and unmanned driving, so that Toyota, the originator of hybrid vehicles, has also purchased batteries and motors from Tesla for a long time.
Li Mu especially wanted to directly persuade their start-up team at the very beginning of Tesla to use a large amount of money to take a large part of their shares, and then they could take the money to start quickly, while doing research, while building a production line, the technical base and industrial base at the same time fast development, then Tesla's exhibition will definitely be much greater than its previous life.
In the last life, Tesla's biggest shackles lie in the lack of production capacity and the lack of production lines and product lines.
Take Tesla as an example, the company itself is not a car manufacturing company, but a few geeks together to do a research, when they do technology research, they don't have much money in their hands, a limited amount of funds are almost all used in research, so there is no foundation in the industrial field, and when they have a full set of technology patents, they have to pull investment everywhere, and then build factories and production lines brick by brick.
After more than ten years of Tesla's exhibition, the mass production models can be counted on one hand, and the production capacity limit is huge, and the order is scheduled for n years, such a situation, even if you want to mention it, it is very difficult, because each production line has to be built from scratch little by little, and the production capacity is also a little bit improved, and it is impossible to do it in one step.
On the other hand, BYD is an entity company, the efficiency of electric vehicles is much higher than Tesla, it is the world's top battery manufacturer, and has built a car for ten years, not only battery technology, automotive technology, but also battery production lines, automobile production lines, the two together, can immediately create a variety of and a large number of electric vehicle products, so that BYD began to make electric vehicles, and made a large number of models one after another, including pure electric vehicles, petrol-electric hybrid vehicles, and even a variety of pure electric buses, Pure electric forklifts and trucks.
If you want Elon Musk to upgrade Tesla's product line to the scale of BYD, it will take him at least ten years to achieve it, but how much of the market has been missed in these ten years, anyone with a certain ability to think can think of it.
Just like China and the Soviet Union during World War II, China had no industrial base at that time, and in the face of a strong enemy, they wanted to make weapons but couldn't make them at all, even if they gave the full set of technology of the 99 main battle tank to the Huaxia Military Factory of that era, they still couldn't build a tank car that could run.
However, the Soviet Union was completely different from China at that time, they had a very strong industrial base, and when it came to wartime, the turret was transported to the tractor factory that produced heavy tracked tractors, and tanks that could be used in war could be produced immediately, which is the importance of the industrial base.
Therefore, in Li Mu's view, the industrial base is the most important problem in the Tesla exhibition, there is no one, if you can get the Tesla project, you must invest a lot of money in the early stage to build Tesla's industrial base, or simply directly acquire a company manufacturing enterprises around the world, if you can rub Tesla and BYD together, plus enough financial support, Li Mu believes that the spring of new energy vehicles can come in advance at the time of the O8 Olympic Games!
At this time, Li Mu tentatively asked Elon Musk: "Elon, if there are any good experimental projects in Silicon Valley, you can learn more about them, I am quite interested in this area, and I can make some investments." ”
Li Mu has always regarded Silicon Valley as a holy place in his heart in his last life, and he knows Silicon Valley very well, Silicon Valley is not only a large number of Internet companies, but also a large number of emerging technology companies with an eye to the future, Cisco is a first-class enterprise bred from Silicon Valley, and Tesla is the same.
However, at the beginning of their founding, most of these companies had to struggle for a long time to survive, because they were too experimental, most of them were not even enterprises, just a few geeks got together to do some research, and Apple started in this way.
Many similar small groups have very interesting technologies in their hands, but they can't even get a valuation of millions of dollars, and it is difficult to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars, so they can only move forward little by little, and many even die directly on the road of entrepreneurship.
If you can dig out a few good projects at this time, you will definitely have a lot to do in the future.
Elon Musk heard Li Mu's question, smiled slightly, and said casually: "Some time ago, a friend came to me, and there was a project that wanted me to invest, and he said that they used a large number of laptop batteries to assemble an electric car, and the comprehensive performance of the car is very good, it sounds a little interesting, but I haven't made an appointment with them yet......"
When Li Mu heard this, he was so excited that he almost shouted out, the reason why he was so excited was because he knew in his heart that the project that Elon Musk was talking about was the predecessor of Tesla! Chapter 1222: The Predecessor of Tesla
