List?

Martin Eberhard curiously took the list handed over by Zhou Jingming and took a closer look, and then immediately exclaimed, "Who are the people on this list...... The developer of the GM EV-1?"

The first name on the list, Al Coccone, is surely known to Eberhard

As a staunch supporter of pure electric vehicles, Eberhard began to pay attention to the EV-1 the year it was launched.

It's just that because the design of this car is really not good-looking, Eberhard once approached Koconi and hoped that Koconi could improve the design of this car, but Koconi did not agree at the time, and after that, Alberhard also met Koconi on many occasions, and the two were old acquaintances.

With the exception of Kocconi, the rest of the people on the list are all developers of GM's EV-1, a pure electric vehicle, and Eberhard can't be mistaken about this.

According to Zhou Jingming, does he want to dig these people into Tianming Group?

How is this possible?

General Motors would be stupid enough to let these people go to Tianming Group?!

"Exactly! It seems that Mr. Martin's knowledge of pure electric vehicles really surprised me. Zhou Jingming nodded with a smile.

"However, how can Mr. Zhou be sure that these people are willing to work in the Tianming Group?" asked Martin Eberhard suspiciously.

From beginning to end, Martin Eberhard saw only confidence on Zhou Jingming's face!

"Just with these people's love for pure electric vehicles and our Tianming Group's strong support for electric vehicles!" Zhou Jingming still said in a confident tone.

"If Mr. Martin is willing to believe me, you can introduce Mr. Coconi to me, and then I will let Mr. Coconi join our Tianming Group, what do you think of this proposal?" Seeing that Martin Eberhard was silent, Zhou Jingming continued.

"Okay! As long as Mr. Zhou can dig up more than half of the technical personnel on this list, I am willing to join Tianming Group and contribute my own strength to the development of pure electric vehicles!" In the end, under the persuasion of Zhou Jingming, Martin Eberhard was still moved and said the conditions for his joining.

To be able to devote himself to the automotive industry, is Martin Eberhard's long-time wish, now one of the world's fastest growing car manufacturers threw an olive branch to him, and it is also his most enthusiastic pure electric vehicle industry, how can Alberhard not be impressed?

"Okay, then we'll settle down, as long as Mr. Martin introduces me to Kocconi, I'll do the rest. After receiving Alberhard's affirmative reply, Zhou Jingming immediately responded with a smile.

Zhou Jingming and Martin Eberhard reached a consensus in this way, and after the two chatted for more than ten minutes, Eberhard left the coffee shop, and Eberhard agreed that as long as he contacted Coccony, he would arrange a meeting with Zhou Jingming as soon as possible.

"Jingming, are you sure that the people on this list will be dug up?" said Xu Weidong with some concern after Alberhard left.

"It's man-made, just dig this Cocconi over, and the rest of the people will be easy to say. Zhou Jingming said with a smile.

Koconi is Zhou Jingming's biggest target this time, and other developers can only be regarded as icing on the cake. And as long as Koconi is willing to join Tianming Group, the rest of the developers can be completely responsible for the work from within.

***

One of the plants at General Motors' headquarters is home to the production of the EV-1, the company's first all-electric vehicle. It is said that it is a production workshop, but in fact, it cannot be compared with the rest of the workshops, at best, it is just a small workshop.

Because the order volume of this car is very small, only about 200 units per year, so the production workshop of this electric car is basically in a state of shutdown, there is very little automation equipment, the assembly of the vehicle mostly relies on manpower, and the company's headquarters is also very dissatisfied with the sales of this car, and no one pays attention to it at all.

As the head of the development of the EV-1, Kocconi was not in a relaxed mood at this time, this electric car cost the company so much money, but after the sale, it was like this, as of now, this car has been on the market for ten years, and the sales are less than 2,000 units!

Not only is the sales dismal, because the appearance of this car looks very ordinary, it can even be said to be ugly, the evaluation of this car among consumers is not high, plus the endurance is average, only 140 kilometers, and there is no corresponding charging equipment in the United States, once the power is used up on the road, it can only be towed away by a trailer, which further aggravates the difficult situation of this car.

Although Koconi is interested in changing this situation, the company is no longer willing to allocate funds to their project team, and even if Koconi wants to improve the design of the car, he will not be able to do it without financial support.

Whether it's redesigning the body or looking for a battery with high range, these are all things that need financial support, and without the support of the company, Coconi can only give up.

Since there is no substantive work in normal times, Koconi will go to the workshop of electric vehicles every day to pass the time, and today is no exception.

In the workshop of electric vehicles, there are only a few workers, but the production equipment in the workshop is in a state of shutdown, and several workers are sitting there bored, there is nothing to do, and the whole workshop is inexplicably desolate.

"Hey, Luca, is there still no order?" asked Cocconi as he walked up to a man in his forties.

"As you can see, we haven't started work for three days. Luca shrugged helplessly, he is the head of the electric car workshop and is very familiar with Kocconi.

Hearing this, Kocconi's brow furrowed even deeper, and the situation was even more serious than he had imagined.

"Friend, I've heard that the group is going to shut down our workshop and stop producing the EV-1, is there such a thing?" Luca paused and continued.

Hearing this, Koconi couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded, "There is indeed such a thing, but I have already negotiated with the company, and I will do my best to try not to shut down the workshop." ”

Speaking of which, Koconi also became bitter, how could it be so easy to say, in exchange for the company's decision-maker, he would not let a product that did not make money stay.

But this car poured a lot of effort into Kocone, so he gave up, he was not reconciled.

If you can produce for an extra year, you can produce for an extra year, but it really doesn't work, and Koconi has even decided to take a step back by resigning, even though he knows that such an approach is unlikely to work.

"Actually, it's better to stop production, otherwise we're really bored, and it's not much value for this car to continue to be produced. Luca's answer was unexpected.

But then Koconi was relieved, he understood Luka's feelings.

"Don't worry, even if this electric car is discontinued, I won't let you lose your job, this is my promise. Koconi patted Luca on the shoulder and said.

"Mr. Coccone, the company's leaders are looking for you, it seems that they are about electric vehicles. As he spoke, a voice suddenly came from behind Koccony.
