Hearing this, Kocconi, who was talking to Luca, quickly looked back and saw that it was a colleague in his office who was talking, and it seemed that the company had called his office.

"Okay, I'll go right away. Coconi replied.

"Then I'll go over first, and I'll let you know as soon as there is any news. Turning around, Koconi said to Luca again.

Last month, the company approached Koconi and told him that it was going to stop producing the EV-1, but with Kocconi's efforts, the company's supervisor said that he would think about it again and give Koconi an answer after a while.

This time, the fate of the EV-1, a pure electric vehicle, should be completely decided.

As soon as he said this, Koconi walked towards John's office, the superintendent.

Soon, Kocconi met John.

"I'm calling you here to tell you about the company's decision on the EV-1. As soon as Coconi entered, John said.

"Mr. John, let's just say it, is the company still going to discontinue this car?" Corconi replied mentally prepared for the same thing.

John nodded, "Yes, the company has already held a meeting to decide, this car will be discontinued no matter what, but the time of discontinuation of production has been postponed for two years, and it will be discontinued again in 2002." ”

Initially, GM planned to discontinue the car this year.

"Is there really no room for further discussion? If the company invests another amount of money, I am confident that I can improve this car, whether it is the range or the appearance, I can ...... it."

Cocony was reluctant and wanted to continue fighting, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by John,

"Mr. Kocconi, I think you also know that the postponement of the production of this car for two years is already the company's biggest compromise to you, so to speak, the company's leaders believe that there is no market for pure electric vehicles at present, and investment in this field can only be wasted, you have also seen the sales of EV-1 this car, and I really tried my best, I hope you don't embarrass me anymore." ”

"What about the company's arrangement for me, didn't it lay me off?" Coconi asked with a wry smile, sighing.

If GM doesn't see a future for BEVs, what's the value of Cocconi staying here as a technologist in this area?

"I've negotiated with the company that you'll continue to work here, and I'll transfer you to another department when the time comes, but the electric vehicle production workshop will definitely be stopped. ”

"A few workers in the electric car workshop, you can leave them behind, as for me, you don't have to worry about it, trouble you. With that, Koconi walked out with a dead face.

The moment he went out, Coconi came up with the idea of starting his own business and continuing the development of pure electric vehicles, but where did the start-up capital come from?

Relying on his own savings alone, it is estimated that it will not be long before the company will fall into business difficulties, but it is a pity and unwillingness for him to give up his dream of pure electric vehicles.

As he walked, Koccony's phone rang suddenly, and when he took out his phone, he saw that it was Martin Eberhard.

For Martin Eberhard, Koconi is very impressed, because he, like himself, is also a pure electric car fan, and has repeatedly asked Koconi to improve the design of the EV-1 car, and also provided a new design scheme, but because GM has no funds to provide, Koconi is also powerless, so he can only give up.

But at this time, Martin Eberhard called him, what happened?

Despite his doubts, Coconi answered the phone, "Hello, Mr. Martin, long time no see." ”

"Long time no see, Mr. Coccony. Eberhard replied with a smile.

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Martin calling me?" asked Cocconi curiously.

"I do have something to discuss with you, I don't know if Mr. Koconi has time, if he is free, tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, we will meet at the old place for a detailed discussion, what do you think?"

"Well, I just want to tell you something. Coconi replied. At this time, it is estimated that only Martin Eberhard can understand his feelings.

After agreeing on the time and place, Martin Eberhard contacted Zhou Jingming again and asked Zhou Jingming to prepare.

At nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Zhou Jingming, Xu Weidong and Martin Eberhard arrived at the agreed place on time and met Kocconi who came to the appointment.

"These two are...... Mr. Zhou and Mr. Xu of Tianming Group?" Coconi said in surprise as soon as he saw Zhou Jingming and the two.

There are a few people who don't know Zhou Jingming in the automobile industry, and Xu Weidong is the person in charge of the sales company of Tianming Group, and the sales affairs in Europe and the United States are all handled by Xu Weidong, so he is also very well-known.

It's just that what Coconi doesn't understand is, how can these two heavyweights appear here?

"Since Mr. Coconi knows the two of you, I don't need to introduce you any more, so please take a seat. Seeing this, Martin Eberhard hurriedly said with a smile.

Although Cocconi was puzzled, he still sat down, "Mr. Martin, what the hell is going on?"

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Cocone, I asked Mr. Martin to introduce you, and I want to meet you. Zhou Jingming on the side said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou wants to see me?" Cocconi was even more puzzled in his heart, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou has something to say when he sees me?"

"Then I'll be straight to the point. I came to the United States this time, mainly to invite Mr. Koconi to join our Tianming Group and participate in the development of our group's electric vehicles.

Join Tianming Group?

Coccony's mind was suddenly chaotic, he never thought that one day Zhou Jingming would come over to dig himself up!

"Mr. Koconi, you and I have known each other for more than a day or two, to tell you the truth, I have promised Mr. Zhou to join Tianming Group, I can feel your love for the electric vehicle industry, if you can join Tianming Group, I believe that the two of us will be able to work together to create brilliance." ”

Martin Eberhard on the side also hurriedly persuaded that Cocconi's ability to join is also a very important thing for him.

"Even Mr. Martin is willing to join the Tianming Group?" Koconi was shocked in his heart, this news was absolutely heavyweight.

"But ...... GM here" Cocconi was still hesitating in his heart, but I have to say that he began to be moved, but let him leave GM and join Tianming Group, and there was a trace of reluctance, after all, he had been working in GM for so many years.

"If I'm not mistaken, General Motors should be discontinuing the production of pure electric vehicles soon, so what's the point of Mr. Kocconi staying there?" Zhou Jingming said at the right time.
