Martin Eberhard didn't stop in Los Angeles, and on the way from AP to the airport, he called his partner, "Mark, I'll be here in the afternoon, you can do your best to collect information about a person named Yiping Feng," and he said with three Chinese in a row, "Hell, why don't you choose an English name?" Yes, it's the author of that book, and the investors of Google and Noor,"

"Wait, his investment in China also needs to be understood,"

What he said at AP wasn't all pretenses, he did already have a partner, and that was his old partner, Mark Tarpenning.

In the afternoon, Martin hurriedly converged with Mark, who had come to pick him up, "What is your opinion?"

"AP only agreed to sell the rights to use the technology, but resolutely did not participate in commercial production,"

"So Alan won't join our team? Is that okay, can't we try to convince him again?

Mark is well aware of the shortcomings of his team: when it comes to the production of electric vehicles, both of them have neither experience nor technology.

And someone like Alan Kooning, who has experience and skills, is the most suitable partner for them.

"Allen's attitude is very resolute," Martin shook his head, "I want him to participate, it can't be,"

"Are you sure you can't change his mind?" asked Mark.

He clearly knows that, like all entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley, Martin is quite good at persuading and influencing people.

"I'm sure," Martin thought of Feng Yiping and said, he had persuaded Alan for several years, but he was still unmoved, and he couldn't conquer such a fortress.

"This Feng, what's going on? I found out that he invested in AP in '01, can he convince Allen?"

"What was your first impression of this von?" Martin asked another question.

"Brilliant brains and business acumen," Mark says without thinking.

"Shouldn't the first impression be that he is a lucky young and promising one?"

This answer was unexpected by Martin, and in his impression, Feng Yiping was a wealthy man who became internationally renowned at a young age.

★dǐng★diǎn★ 小★語,.★.←os_();" No, that's just the appearance, the opinion of ordinary people, hidden behind it, is his brilliant brain and accurate business vision," Mark deftly turned the car into the downstairs of their current office, "You will know this diǎn if you look at his information,"

"By the way, since AP agreed to sell the rights to use the technology, he can't convince Alan to participate in our project, why do you want to know about him?"

"That's because, he wanted to get involved, and he said he was ready to enter the field for a long time,"

"Oh,"

"Who are you?" asked Martin his old partner.

"If that's the case, it makes sense why he invested in AP in the first place," Mark said.

This is not the answer that Martin was expecting, and in '01, he really saw this field?

"If you look at his investments, you will find that his seemingly irregular investments are all preparing for his next investment, for example, he acquired another electronic map technology provider ARA at that time, which most people think is a combination of his investment in NAQ,"

"Now I find that, in fact, one of the most important purposes of that investment was to get Google's attention and eventually become a stepping stone to investing in Google," Mark said, looking at Martin, "You know the attitude of those two people towards capital,"

Martin naturally knows that the two young men at Google are the two most wary of venture capital in Silicon Valley, and they are the first to successfully navigate the founders of Dǐng-level venture capital such as Sequoia and BP.

"Feng Neng successfully invested in Google and became the third largest individual shareholder, excluding other factors, this investment that everyone was puzzled about at the time, played a key role in this process, well, you will know after you have seen it yourself,"

Already in the office, Mark Diǎn opened a folder on the computer, "Time is pressing, all the information about Feng, I have collected it through the Internet, these are some recent reports," he pointed to some paper materials next to him, "Mainly about Noor,"

Martin didn't speak, and immediately looked at it, it sounded, Mark actually admired Feng Yiping very much, and he wanted to know the reason.

…………

It's quiet in the office, and Mark is still gathering relevant information online, mainly through a Google search for Feng Yiping as a shareholder and strategy director.

The production of electric vehicles is a completely new field for the two of them, and there is too much relevant knowledge to know, and the company that has not yet entered the pure electric vehicle production industry, he is ready to learn from the experience of the original traditional automobile companies to determine and refine the work plan after the official launch of the project.

In between work, he would look at Martin's side and find that Martin was more focused than himself when he looked at the computer in front of him, and it seemed that this Feng's information also attracted him.

More than forty minutes later, he heard Martin get up, looked up, Martin leaned on his desk with a glass of water, "Look, he is indeed a very discerning guy, of course, he is also very lucky, and the public relations industry is doing well,"

Martin's previous understanding of Feng Yiping was quite one-sided, except for his book, which was Feng Yiping with the limelight of the listing of two companies on the NASDAQ.

However, Feng Yiping's wealth, although it is not bad in China, is really nothing in the United States, especially in a place like Silicon Valley, where there are many huge riches, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Today, I took a look at the system and found that it was really one, how to say, at least someone who was luckier than himself.

To understand Feng Yiping's investments in China, they mainly know the official website of Guò Jiasheng, of course, in English.

Like all domestic company websites, Jiasheng also set up a "leadership care" item in the website, so below, the first item is Feng Yiping before going to the United States as an exchange student, when he won the Youth May Fourth Medal, and the vice chairman at the time, the current boss, in front of Huai% Rentang.

In that photo, there is also the secretary of the capital city party committee at the time, and the current ********, but Martin and the two old beauties, who only recognize the leader.

In addition, there is a photo of Feng Yiping and the old dean, the old dean, many Americans also know, and some ministers they don't know, of course, they don't care too much.

Although in China, many people say that the ordinary people of the United States do not care about the leaders of their countries and other political figures, in fact, this is really a one-sided statement taken out of context by a group of brick makers.

In many families in the United States, in addition to putting photos of family members in the living room, photos of the owner and American politicians will also occupy a conspicuous position.

The young Feng Yiping can do this, which at least shows that he himself is very mature.

"So, we welcome him aboard?" Mark asked with a smile.

"No," Martin clasped his hands, "I think the partner we need the most right now is someone who has experience and technology in this field like Allen, and I don't think this Feng can help us much in this diǎn,"

"Feng has been paying attention to this field for so many years, and he has been preparing for it for a long time, so it should not be said that he has no experience," Mark carefully avoided some words, not saying that Feng Yiping paid attention to such needs and markets earlier than them.

Because he knows that his old partner is very proud and proud, and only a person with a character like himself can cooperate well with him, and a person like him, when facing another person who is also excellent or better, at first, may be repulsive.

Indeed, this is the case in real life, two excellent people sometimes sympathize with each other, but there will also be another situation, because of some people's personalities, when they meet another equally good person, or someone who is better than themselves, it is very likely that they will not give up on each other.

"In addition, you also know that such a project requires investment that we cannot afford, this Feng, with abundant funds and money in the company, is it easier for us to recruit ideal talents?"

"Mark, partner, I don't mean anything else at all," Martin heard what Mark didn't mean after years of working together.

It's just that Martin doesn't know, and his explanation, if you use a Chinese proverb, is that there is no silver three hundred taels here.

"I'm doing this for our benefit, of course the funds are needed, but you believe me, as long as our project improves, it won't be a problem to bring in funds,"

"But if you think about it, if you let Feng join the team now, then, he is also the founder, with his financial resources, how much stake can we have? So, I think, even if we let him join, it will be at a later stage,"

"But, haven't you thought about another possibility, Feng himself also set up a new company to produce electric vehicles? He has an advantage over us, AP, he is the second shareholder, he produces lithium batteries himself, he is more influential than us in Silicon Valley, he has more financial resources than us...... ，”

"If that happens, do you think we'll be able to compete with him?"

"Mark, advantages sometimes turn into disadvantages, AP's technology, and his lithium battery, are not necessarily the best, then these advantages will become a drag,"

"It's a big deal that we don't need AP technology first," Martin said proudly, "There are many technical solutions in such a new field, believe me, as long as we make some achievements, these problems you say are not a problem,"

"However, what you said reminded me that we must set up a company immediately, and I have already thought about the name of the company, and we must be the first to register, and we can't let others register,"

"You mean, Tesla?" Mark thought for a moment and uttered a word.

"Haha, you're my partner, what do you think, yes," Martin laughed.

"Put the rest aside first, and early tomorrow morning, we will go to register the company and this trademark,"

"Wait," Mark opened the website of the Trademark and Patent Office on his computer, and searched quickly, "This trademark has been registered,"

Martin's smile came to an abrupt end, "Who? when? I'll see,"

He snatched the computer and saw his favorite Tesla trademark, which had been registered two years ago, and the index below showed that the owner of this trademark was a Chinese group company, and he was familiar with this company, "Jiasheng!"

"Do you think we need to reconsider that?" asked Mark.

Martin didn't speak, his face disgraced. (To be continued.) )
