After the interview, the news continued.

Meng Qian found that Americans are very concerned about his itinerary, and some people may predict that this will be the dawn of the new energy industry, but others say that they are too optimistic and want to promote the development of new energy vehicles, it is still early. First of all, car dealers can't keep up, and secondly, battery production can't keep up.

But it does not hinder Meng Qian's imagination of the power battery market.

The demand for power batteries, based on the global production of automobiles, first to the statistics to speak, is expected in 2014 global car sales of 82 million, if in the next five years, electric vehicles can account for 10% of them, and then erase the fraction, assuming 8 million.

The battery refers to Tesla, the cost of its battery system is not disclosed, but by estimation (too many are not listed), the cost is about 15,000 US dollars, if this set is used to equip the world's electric vehicles, 8 million units, the price is 15,000, and the sales will reach 120 billion US dollars.

The phone battery simply can't compare.

If he can do this, he will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life.

So when he went out to talk about business the next day, Meng Qian talked to Liu Jianye about his grand goal of "eight million vehicles", which sounded a bit unashamed, but he was confident to strive for it, and it was certain that he would artificially promote the development of new energy. The performance of hundreds of billions in the future is exciting.

Liu Jianye is very calm: "Don't look too far ahead, Musk's billions of investments are only aimed at the market of 500,000 vehicles." With the current lithium battery technology, there is still a lot of heat to influence global car companies. Wait until you can bring out the newer technology, and then think about it. ”

Meng Qian admitted: "It's a bit ahead of its time. ”

Liu Jianye said: "At present, we must first promote its prosperity, and then we can have a chance." ”

What is the share of electric vehicles in the world? It's a terrifying number, this is simply to create a new energy giant that can confront oil companies, and the future conflicts of interests, even people like Liu Jianye, who have experienced countless storms, can feel the tension and the excitement of fighting.

……

Business with Tesla, going well.

Speaking of this step, half a million, multi-billion dollar business was established. How much is the exclusive cooperation of Wells Fargo Energy worth? How does the joint venture work? Tesla's funds are also limited, out of 5 billion, up to 2 billion, how to raise the rest of the funds?

So Tesla needs to find a partner, and Liu Jianye also has to prepare funds.

Liu Jianye also emphasized to Musk: Because of national sentiment, I don't like to cooperate with the Japanese.

But no one took it seriously - including Meng Qian. Now do not cooperate with the Japanese, mainly because the world's major lithium battery manufacturers are Japanese, the status quo is not suitable, and when the new battery completely defeats the Japanese lithium battery system and makes them miserable, the price of cooperation can soar to the sky.

Finally, Musk invited them to a business reception.

Held in Reno, Nevada, the event will be attended by people from all walks of life interested in new energy, as well as the Nevada government, governors, mayors, and more.

Meng Qian did not refuse, business is inseparable from politics.

Another reason: if new energy wants to swim against the current, strong partners are indispensable.

American politics is susceptible to big capital, and when the traditional oil industry is threatened, the capitalists will be indifferent? What's more, you are just a Chinese company, pinch you to death in minutes! The best way to solve the problem is to start from within and win over equally strong capitalists.

Empires have always collapsed from within.

There are many large enterprises in the traditional energy field, which can influence the economy and politics, but if Meng Qian is willing to divide the cake of new energy, so that more groups with stronger backgrounds can enjoy the benefits of the industrial chain - from parts to batteries to automobiles, who is afraid of whom?

Technology will make obsolete industries a thing of the past.

It's unstoppable.

Therefore, in this business reception, Meng Qian not only communicated with the governor of Nevada about the investment environment and the preferential treatments he could get, but also communicated with many entrepreneurs and representatives. The people who participated in the reception were very interested in investment, and various funds and investment companies were not famous.

It's just that Liu Jianye is not very interested in these investors, in his words: "Venture capital is never an angel, they are all wolves in sheep's clothing." ”

"Still not suitable?" Meng Qian asked.

"If it's other industries, it's an investor's dream right now, but if you have that kind of ambition, they really aren't enough, if you want to find the strongest."

"The strongest?" Meng Qian asked.

"At least at the level of big conglomerates, if you want the development of the United States and even the world, you have to use the funds of these consortia and the political influence of consortia."

"Understood."

Liu Jianye finally said: "This time it should be regarded as understanding the policy, and I will find a way to win over the real tycoons." ”

Hearing Liu Jianye say this, Meng Qian was not interested in talking about business anymore.

He turned to the communication with politicians, and the Nevada government does give a lot of incentives, because this is an industry that can create tens of thousands of jobs in the future and bring hundreds of billions of dollars directly or indirectly, and it should not be missed. Even the governor was willing to give him special advice on immigration issues.

This is really the direct of Chiguoguo, and the immigrants have thrown it out.

It's just that the cooperation still needs time to prepare, and after the reception, they left their assistants in San Francisco to be responsible for liaison and communication. For the rest of the free activities, return the car first, Liu Jianhao, who is very interested in playing, is full of energy: "I can't stop playing when I come, what is it like to talk about business all day long?" ”

Meng Qian also simply: "Where is the next stop?" ”

"Las Vegas!"

……

The casino is famous, and it is a pity to come to the United States not to play for a few days.

That night, the three of them flew south and visited this city that had just ushered in the night. Surrounded by night, the city glows amazingly, with an avenue lit up by countless street lamps and neon lights, a dense crowd of people and cars, and countless top hotels concentrated on both sides of the road.

After leaving the airport, the VIP shuttle arrives.

A snowy car. The white, ten-meter-long Lincoln was parked outside the airport in style. The gloved receptionist pulls the car door and welcomes him with a smile on his face. Meng Qian went in with novelty, and there was a unique cave inside, with luxurious sofas, minibars, and LCD TVs.

Meng Qian sat comfortably: "Good style!" ”

"Martini, thank you." Liu Jianhao said to the receptionist, and then looked at Meng Qian: "How boring it is with my brother." Eat, drink, and be merry with me! ”

Liu Jianye smiled: "Don't go crazy, I'll take you to meet a friend later." ”

"Can this be connected to business?" Liu Jianhao admires him.

"If we can get his help, the road ahead will be much easier." Liu Jianye didn't say much, because everyone's eyes were outside.

The car stopped in front of a building that shimmered white and blue, in the shape of a large cylinder, shaped like a ship about to start. On its towering walls, delicate images are displayed, making the fluff on the face of the advertising girl look clear, and the sense of technology rushes to the face.

"The Future Center (fictional), the most high-tech hotel in Las Vegas, is the most high-tech hotel in Las Vegas, and it is also the world's highest-invested luxury hotel, spending $4.5 billion, which is enough to invest in two seven-star hotels in Dubai. ”

"Chinese-invested?" Meng Qian asked.

"The Chinese gambling king." Liu Jianye also understands, "Not only here, but on both sides of this most prosperous avenue, more than half of the hotels are his property. ”

"How big is that?" Meng Qian knew that the hotels on both sides of the long street were top-notch.

"Big? It's just a small piece of the empire. Liu Jianhao, who knew the inside story, shook his head, "In addition to the United States, he has gambling ships in many European countries, Australia, Southeast Asia and the high seas...... It can be said that covering almost all continents, you can see his doctor. Color Empire. ”

"Enough cow!" Meng Qian couldn't imagine it.

"That's why people call him a legend of the Chinese." Liu Jianye also admired it, "I came with you this time, and what I wanted to see was this gentleman." ”

"The gambling king?" Meng Qian asked.

"Don't play poker with him, especially poker." Liu Jianye walked towards the hotel.

"Why?" Meng Qian was puzzled.

Liu Jianye smiled and did not answer. As soon as they walked into the lobby, their attention was drawn again, and unlike the glittering lobbies of other hotels, the futuristic simplicity was brought to life, with a virtual blue sky overhead, white clouds, and cloudy weather changes.

Spend some time in the sci-fi lobby and then go to the front desk to check in. Because it is a reservation in advance, the high-rise suites are not the top, but they also cost 6,000 dollars a night, and the advantage is that the space is spacious, and there is a dedicated VIP elevator, which is convenient to get to and from.

Meng Qian admired the suite: "I can really play." ”

"You can play on it, the top suite, $35,000 a night." Liu Jianhao sat down on the sofa with a big grin, "You can enjoy the holographic projection system exclusively, change the environment at will, and have virtual blonde beauties dancing and picking in front of you. Funny, to have more waves and more waves. ”

Meng Qian Khan: "With so much money to stay for one night, it's better to find a real one." ”

"The rich man's world me." Liu Jianhao shook his head, "When you have the money to experience everything in real life, you will be more interested in this kind of virtuality." ”

"Probably too." Meng Qian was right to think about it.

"Shall we go down and play? Looking for something exciting...... Take off. How about a clothing bar? Liu Jianhao described: "Find a few girls, in your big . Swaying on the legs. ”

"Okay." Meng Qian is also a true temperament.
