On the way here, Martin Eberhard thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why Zhou Jingming wanted to see him, and he also asked the friend who introduced Zhou Jingming, but the person didn't know why, just said that Zhou Jingming wanted to talk to him.

Although Eberhard was a few years older than Zhou Jingming, he didn't dare to hold it up in the face of such a business tycoon, but just looked at Zhou Jingming with puzzled eyes, waiting for Zhou Jingming to give an answer.

Zhou Jingming looked at Eberhard, who looked confused, and then said with a smile, "I have long heard that Mr. Martin is a senior car fan, I don't know if Mr. Martin has any unique insights on the future development trend of automobiles?"

"Then I'll have the courage to say a few words. Although in front of him is a well-known existence in the automobile industry, Martin has no stage fright, and after looking at Zhou Jingming, he continued,

"I think the development of traditional automobiles has reached its peak, two oil crises and the strengthening of environmental awareness in various countries, are conveying such a truth to all car manufacturers, in the next 30 years, new energy vehicles will be the mainstream of the market, in this regard, I particularly appreciate Mr. Zhou's concept of four modernizations of automobiles, in which electrification will definitely replace traditional automobiles ......"

Speaking of cars, Martin is like opening the conversation, and has a detailed exchange with Zhou Jingming about his unique views on cars, and there are many points of view that surprise Zhou Jingming.

Tesla, founded by Martin Eberhard, itself is to design and manufacture cars with IT thinking, this mode of thinking is naturally very different from traditional car manufacturers, and it is because of this that Zhou Jingming will try his best to dig him into Tianming Group.

"So, from my point of view, the electrification of cars is a promising area, and any automaker that ignores electrification will eventually be obsolete. ”

"Brilliant insights. After listening to this, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but admire.

"Let Mr. Zhou smile, just now it was just my family's words, in terms of the development of automobiles, I think I am far inferior to yours. When Martin Eberhard heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Since Mr. Martin has such a high opinion of electrification, do you think pure electric vehicles will be the mainstream of automobile consumption in the future?" Zhou Jingming smiled and continued to ask.

"No doubt yes!" Martin nodded immediately.

"Although the current pure electric vehicles are very rare in the market, but this is only because the technology is not mature, the commercial value of pure electric vehicles is very small, the future with the development of battery technology, pure electric vehicles will surely enter thousands of households, not to mention anything else, Mr. Zhou, please look at the parking space outside. ”

As he spoke, Martin Eberhard stretched out his right hand and pointed out the window, and following his direction, Zhou Jingming and Xu Weidong turned their heads to look over.

"These cars are parked here by some entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, in addition to luxury supercars like Ferrari and Porsche, what other cars did Mr. Zhou see?"

"Toyota Prius, and no less. Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

"That's right, it's the Toyota Prius, as a hybrid car, the Prius has a fuel saving rate of up to 40%, does Mr. Zhou think these people buy the Prius because of the price and fuel money?" Martin asked with a smile.

"People who can afford to drive a Ferrari naturally don't care about the money. Zhou Jingming replied.

"That's the problem! Since these people don't care about money, there's only one reason to buy a Prius, and that's that they're very environmentally conscious! And in my opinion, the Prius is just a way for this group of people to express their dissatisfaction with environmental issues and their desire to make a change, not that they really like the car!"

"Bang! bang!"

After hearing these words, Zhou Jingming couldn't help but applaud, "Mr. Martin's words really made my eyes shine, and it was not in vain that I came to the United States." ”

"Mr. Zhou said with a smile, didn't you come to me this time to listen to me?" Martin asked curiously. Since Zhou Jingming can put forward the concept of "four modernizations of automobiles", he should also understand what he said, right?

"Don't worry, Mr. Martin, I have a question for you. Zhou Jingming paused, and then continued, "If you were asked to build a car, Mr. Martin, what choice would you make?"

"Let me build a car?" Martin Eberhard was stunned for a moment, then began to think seriously, and after about two minutes, he continued, "If I were to build a car, I would choose to combine sports cars with new energy, and the customer base is these environmentally conscious high-income people and celebrities!"

Zhou Jingming nodded with satisfaction, Martin Eberhard's answer was Tesla's car-making concept later.

"If I provide such an opportunity to Mr. Martin, are you willing to come to our Tianming Group to realize such a dream?" Zhou Jingming no longer hesitated, and asked directly.

After talking for more than ten minutes, Zhou Jingming felt more and more that Martin was the person he was looking for!

"What did Mr. Zhou just say?" Martin began to get excited, "You mean, let me go to Tianming Group to participate in car building?"

"Mr. Martin, please hear me first. Zhou Jingming smiled, "Since you know what I said about the four modernizations of automobiles, then I can tell you frankly that our group is currently developing pure electric vehicles, I want you to go over and lead the development of our pure electric vehicles, I don't know if you have such a willingness?"

"But...... However, Mr. Zhou, I have no experience in automobile development, so I am worried that I will not be able to lead the development of pure electric vehicles. In addition to the excitement, Martin became nervous again.

No matter what the reason, Zhou Jingming found himself and let him play such an important role, although Martin yearned for it very much, he was also afraid that he would not do well and let Zhou Jingming down.

"Don't worry about this, Mr. Martin, I asked you to lead the development of electric vehicles, just want you to use your own thinking model to manage this project, technical problems, I will find professional engineers to solve, what you have to do is to convey your concept of electric vehicles to the technical personnel. Zhou Jingming said with a smile.

"But Mr. Zhou, why is it me? Mr. Zhou may have a better candidate, right?" Martin looked at Zhou Jingming and said seriously.

"No!" Zhou Jingming shook his head and said in a firm tone, "Mr. Martin is my best choice, if Mr. Martin is willing, you can go back to work with me immediately, and in terms of salary, you will definitely not be disappointed." ”

"I don't care how much money is, if Mr. Zhou really believes in me, I am also willing to work in Tianming Group, but as Mr. Zhou said, what you need is my concept, I want to confirm, does Mr. Zhou have someone who can realize my car manufacturing concept?"

Zhou Jingming smiled, and then handed a list to Martin Eberhard, "Mr. Martin thinks the people on this list are still familiar?"
