The momentum of the Zhengxin team has already caused the other teams in FE to fall into deep fear. And if the fear of this group of teams comes from the ownership of this season's championship, then TSL can consider it even deeper.

TSL Headquarters, USA.

After the end of the Formula E Beijing branch, the news quickly spread around the world. However, due to the time difference, when the American side received the news from the convoy, it was already night.

Seeing that the Zhengxin K2 team relied on Alonso and Lou Lu, two tigers, to win two cities in a row under the excellent performance of Zhengxin FEone cars, and won the two championships in Bucheng and Beijing, John Wayne's face was completely gloomy.

So far, TSL has relied on technical support from Silicon Valley, coupled with the U.S. government's eagerness to launch a new U.S. auto spokesperson amid a collective contraction of the local automotive industry chain. Under various favorable and policy tilts, TSL has attracted a large number of investments.

With the operation of capital and the innovation of technology, TSL has become the only luxury brand of electric vehicles in the world.

In fact, consciously or unconsciously, TSL is instilling in the world's car consumers the idea that TSL is the only brand that can represent the future of electric vehicles.

In order to cooperate with this consciousness output, TSL has not only continued to carry out joint research and development with suppliers in battery and motor technologies, but also adopted a more disruptive exterior and interior design, and a more trendy sales model. As well as supporting publicity methods such as film investment, huge advertising advertorials, and Formula E E.

To date, they have made very good progress.

But now, with the launch of the "flying motorcycle" and the power of killing all sides in the FE arena, a voice is slowly coming out among consumers and the media.

Zhengxin is the most promising company in the field of electric vehicles to dominate the world!

This is exactly what John Wayne, who single-handedly built an electric car empire, could not accept.

Even though it was half past nine p.m. local time, the president's office at TSL's headquarters in downtown DG, Kansas, was still brightly lit.

On John Wayne's large, minimalist desk, there were more than a dozen pages of web pages on the iPad on display. The webpage is full of news about Zhengxin without exception.

On a modern couch across from John Wayne's desk, seven people are seated. These seven people are all shareholders and board members of TSL.

John Wayne handed the iPad in his hand to the secretary, slowly got up from behind the desk, and walked to the sofa.

"Gentlemen, you have seen it too. Now the situation is very unfavorable for us, the defeat in the Formula E field, Zhengxin's previous series of actions to expand its influence in the field of electric vehicles, is making us shape its brand image of Ali slowly collapse. ”

"Huh," said John Wayne, a well-dressed man on the couch, but fat enough to have a double chin, laughed mockingly.

"John. As the Jewish proverb goes, never look for reasons why your opponent is strong, as that will make you weaker. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that you fell for the patent trap of Zhengxin, we would have had ample funds to build our brand image in the global market this quarter.

As far as I know, it cost less than $50 million to poach Alonso from F1. And you insisted on going your own way, and it cost nearly nine hundred million to get that super melted metal battery project!"

Hearing the fat man's complaint, John Wayne's face became even more ugly.

Seeing that the scene fell into embarrassment and stalemate, someone immediately started to make peace: "Come on, Thor, stop making those useless complaints." John is speaking of the present facts, and we have fallen into the trap of faith. There's no point in going into any more investigations, and since we're sitting here at night, I think it's important that we discuss what to do next. ”

The fat man let out a long sigh, "Okay. So, gentlemen, what do you think about this?" Seeing that no one spoke, he turned his gaze to John Wayne, "John, you are the president. ”

John Wayne nodded, "Judging from the current situation, Zhengxin has the strength to not lag behind us in terms of motors, batteries, and electronic control technology." I have carefully investigated, and these three technologies have not been established in Zhengxin for a long time. But long before they set foot in the field of electrics, they had some accumulation through their unique R&D incentive programs. So strictly speaking, although we are backed by Silicon Valley, we have been overtaken by Zhengxin in terms of technology. This has been fully verified by the two races in Formula E. ”

"John, it's already nine forty in the afternoon, and I hope you'll get to the point quickly. The fat man was impatient and ordered the table.

John Wayne shook his finger, "That's the point, my friend." Our model is to bring together Silicon Valley's power technology companies and the world's best suppliers of components for electric vehicles. Such a model allows us to win the market in the shortest possible time.

But the true faith has taken a completely different path. Their technology is acquired through their R&D center. Although they are three years behind us, they still have the property rights and patents for almost all of their technologies. And...... Complete in-house production!

So in terms of cost, we don't have the slightest advantage in comparison. If we can't find another way out, what awaits us is doomed. ”

Hearing John Wayne say this, the faces of everyone present changed slightly.

In the eyes of everyone, Zhengxin is a freak.

This enterprise did not go public or raise funds in a state of excellent business conditions, but only used its own vested profits to develop. In the eyes of those who are familiar with the operation of capital, this is simply stupid.

But they also know that such a "dictatorship" with an absolute concentration of equity is undoubtedly a "fascist Germany" in the business world if it is plugged into the wings of R&D strength.

If such a business expands, it is quite scary.

While capital boosts the take-off of enterprises in a month, it will also restrict enterprises because of the distribution of interests. That's the case with the current TSL, and everyone knows that.

"That'...... John, what do you think we should do?" the fat man Thor asked for a moment's pause.

Originally, these major shareholders of the board of directors were still dissatisfied and angry about John Wayne's previous waste of R&D funds.

But now that the enemy is in the present, he can't care about infighting.

After all, John Wayne is the initiator of TSL and a genius in the field of new energy. It can be said that TSL has achieved its current achievements so far, in addition to the capital operation of the board of directors, most of the ideas and strategies are from the hands of John Wayne.

Seeing this scene, the corners of John Wayne's mouth were slightly hooked.

He felt himself regain control.

After calming down a little, he sat down on the couch.

"Gentlemen, I think it's time for TSL to take another step forward and move away from the shackles of basic performance and towards a smarter and more high-end road. ”

He took an iPad from his secretary's hand and showed everyone the few technologies that TSL had achieved but had not yet fully carried out.

"Gentlemen, I now formally request to the Board of Directors to invest in these projects in order to ensure that they are completed as soon as possible and applied to our next model in the fastest possible time. And at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show, I hope to make these technologies available to the public ahead of schedule. Gentlemen. ”

Seeing the realization on everyone's faces, John Wayne smiled slightly and said.
