The company's attitude did not surprise John, in fact, if it were not for John's guarantee, the EV-1 would have been swept away by General Motors when the EV-1 was discontinued.

Since Koconi offered to leave GM this time, the company naturally would not stop it.

"Also, if Koconi leaves this time, will he take the rest of the electric car technicians with him, and we won't stop him?" John continued.

"Don't stop it, if anyone wants to follow Kocconi away, just let it go. The other end of the line replied.

"Okay, I got it. John replied.

It seems that this time, General Motors is going to completely abandon pure electric vehicles.

***

After coming out of John's place, Coconi went straight back to his office, and then told the news that he was leaving here to join the Tianming Group.

"You're leaving GM?"

"So what do we do? Now that GM has given up on electric vehicles, will the company still want us?"

…………

A few people in the same office as Cocconi immediately panicked when they knew that the company would stop producing electric cars in 2002.

"Chairman Zhou of Tianming Group has already told me that as long as you are willing, Tianming Group welcomes you at any time. Koconi said, looking at the crowd.

"What about the company? Will they let us go?" said one of them.

"I've just approached the leaders, and they don't care about my departure, so I think if you follow me, it won't be a problem. I talked to Chairman Zhou, Tianming Group has a very high evaluation of electric vehicles, if we join them, there must be a world to show their strength, how do you choose, you can tell me, I will convey it to Chairman Zhou. ”

Koconi continued.

"I'd better follow the boss, you'll do it together, it's too late to change careers now, and I really like to do electric cars. Finally, one of the technicians took the lead.

"Then I'll go too!"

"Where it's not work, I'll go too!"

…………

One person took the lead, and several others said the same.

"Okay, since you all said so, then I will relay the news to Chairman Zhou tomorrow, don't worry, although we haven't talked about salary, I believe that Tianming Group will not treat us badly!"

Tianming Group is well-treated and well-known in the industry, even Coconi and others have long heard of it.

The next morning, Zhou Jingming met Koconi again.

"How about it, has Mr. Coconi figured it out and is he willing to join our Tianming Group?" Zhou Jingming asked with a smile after meeting.

"If Mr. Zhou doesn't dislike it, I am willing to contribute my own strength to the electrification of Tianming Group. Koconi replied quickly. General Motors can't stay any longer, and his best choice at present is only Tianming Group.

"Okay! If Mr. Koconi is willing to join us, I will naturally welcome it on behalf of the Tianming Group. When Zhou Jingming heard this, he hurriedly replied with a smile.

"It is really my honor to be appreciated by Mr. Zhou. In addition, GM has several of my peers, who are also elites in the development of electric vehicles, and they also want to join Tianming Group with me.

"Welcome! Of course welcome!" Zhou Jingming replied excitedly, the purpose of his visit this time was not for these people.

"Mr. Cocone, we finally have the opportunity to work together in the future. Martin Eberhard on the side also said with a smile.

"Then Mr. Martin and Mr. Cocone, when will they be able to return to China with me?" Zhou Jingming then asked.

"I should have quit my job soon, and in a week's time, I'll be able to get over. Martin Eberhard was the first to reply.

"I'm pretty much the same, after completing the resignation procedures, I can pass. Koconi replied.

"Then let's do it, I want to go back to China, arrange your accommodation, you prepare here, don't worry, wait for all of you to be ready, and then come to Shencheng to report together, do you think it's okay?" Zhou Jingming thought for a while and said.

"That's fine, then it's troublesome Mr. Zhou. The two men replied in unison.

In this way, Zhou Jingming successfully poached Martin Eberhard and Coconi to Tianming Group, which also means that Tesla's start-up team is basically in Tianming Group, and in the future, it is estimated that there will be no more Tesla.

After finishing the matter here, Zhou Jingming and Xu Weidong returned to China the next day, and after a day of rest, they began to return to work in the company.

And Zhao Ke also found Zhou Jingming for the first time and asked what the result of this operation was.

"Jingming, have you succeeded? Will those technicians from General Motors join our Tianming Group?" After coming to Zhou Jingming's office, Zhao Ke couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course, I'm going out in person, is there anything I can't do?" Zhou Jingming replied with a smile.

"It's so simple?

As of now, General Motors has not seen any statement, is it possible that Chengdu has acquiesced?

"GM itself does not pay attention to the development of electric vehicles, and they will stop discontinuing the existing pure electric car in 2002 the year after tomorrow, and it is hoped that someone will take over their developers. ”

"I see. Zhao Ke nodded, "Then when will these people be able to come?"

"About a week, senior brother, you can arrange the accommodation of these people in a while, and arrange it according to the standards of the company's middle-level managers. Zhou Jingming said.

"Okay, I'll arrange it in a moment. Zhao Ke nodded.

Not long after Zhao Ke left, Wang Yuanchao, who was in Gusu, also made a phone call, and naturally asked about it, and Zhou Jingming also answered truthfully.

A week later, Cocconi and Martin Eberhard and others who were far away in the United States took a unified flight to Shencheng under the arrangement of Tianming Group, and Zhou Jingming and Zhao Ke even greeted them in person, which made these people feel flattered.

Because the electrification project team is in Gusu, Zhou Jingming arranged a place for these people to live in Gusu, and when he stayed in Shencheng for a short time, he stayed in a hotel.

After a day of rest in Shencheng, Zhou Jingming took Koconi and others to Gusu City, ready to introduce a few people to the electrification project team. On the way there, Zhou Jingming also sent a copy of the information prepared in advance to each person, so that they could quickly understand the current research progress of Tianming Group's electrification.

"Chairman, if you want to promote pure electric vehicles around the world, the first problem to be solved is the charging problem of electric vehicles, I wonder, can we design a super charging station specifically for charging electric vehicles?"

After reading these materials, Martin Eberhard suddenly said this to Zhou Jingming.
