"I'm a perfectionist, in any way." When Musk was asked what he thought of Zhao Qi's high-profile comparison of Dragon Claw Cars with Tesla, he did not answer immediately, and made a big detour first.

"Gasoline cars are ridiculous, they produce noise and pollution, it's a ticking time bomb. The steam engine is an old antique, and the gasoline engine will be the same in the future. Compared to traditional car companies that are slow to make decisions and aging in Silicon Valley, Tesla, which was born in Silicon Valley, has been different from the beginning. Silicon Valley companies have very flat management structures. For example, I don't have a private office, just a desk. ”

At this point, Musk pointed to the outside of the conference room, and the camera followed the direction of his finger - there was only a monitor and a trophy on his desk, which was awarded to the Tesla Model-S by the famous American car magazine Motor-Trend. This table is next to the table of the other employees, and it is located closest to the production line, so the flat management structure that Musk is talking about can be seen at a glance here, and there is no moisture at all.

"That's our greatest strength, we are free, equal, and united, and such a company is the mainstream of the future, because it has the strongest cohesion and innovation. However, as far as I know, Dragon Claw Technology is a very traditional and even old-fashioned enterprise, which adopts a similar approach to the integration of family business model and M&A model, which has extremely complex management and a lack of communication and trust between the upper and lower levels. It's hard for me to imagine a company like Tesla being able to make a product that compares to Tesla. ”

When it comes to this, it's actually very obvious. Musk did not compare himself with the other party separately like Zhao Qi. It's about smartly comparing the company's structure to the other. Apparently. Musk is not optimistic that Dragon Claw can produce cars at all.

"However, Zhao Qi once used a rural workshop to make the world-famous DreamWorks fur, and used a battery factory and dozens of researchers to make the dragon claw generation mobile phone and dragon claw tablet that embarrassed Jobs." The reporter reminded that in fact, this is simply a kind of instigation, probably to see that Musk is too tactful and does not smell much gunpowder.

"I know, I know this!" Musk nodded. "However, making a car, especially an electric smart car, is completely different from making gadgets like fur and mobile phones!" If fur is to fry an egg, making a mobile phone is to make a plate of pasta, and an electric smart car is a grand and perfect classical French meal! Do you understand what I mean? ”

"You're saying Dragon Claw doesn't have the ability to make this kind of smart car?"

"Nope! I mean, they're probably misunderstanding what electric smart cars are capable of. You know, the Chinese have always been good at imitation. Either way, so. They are likely to imitate some electric vehicles on the market, and then add some smart devices that Dragon Claw Technology is good at, and think that this is an electric smart car! This is a big misunderstanding! ”

The "......" reporter was poor in words, obviously he didn't expect that Musk, who likes to talk around the bend, was actually a rather conceited person, and he didn't take Zhao Qi and Dragon Claw Technology in his eyes at all. However, this is clearly exactly what he wants.

"Can you make a real smart car, you can ask me again in a few years! I think they should first learn what a real smart car is! ”

Musk has a very elegant smile, but he is quite confident and arrogant.

The interview was broadcast on the BBC on November 22, three days before Dragonclaw's smart car launch. There is no doubt that everyone's favorite drama is coming, and the CEO of Tesla finally can't bear to be "humiliated" and begins to fight back and question, and it seems that there is still a hidden and sharp irony.

With the addition of Lao Ma, the Internet and the civil debate about Dragon Claw cars began to heat up, and those who support Dragon Claw and those who support Tesla have quarreled fiercely.

This is true not only in China, but also in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and the United States. Of course, except for netizens in Greater China, most foreign netizens are not optimistic about dragon claws, and some even have a little sourness.

Among them, the Japanese netizens and media who look down on Dragon Claw Technology the most, because Dragon Claw Technology has begun to unilaterally block Japan since the original love incident. Today, dragon claw mobile phones and tablets have become the world's best-selling and highest-quality smart devices, but they are still not publicly sold in Japan, and at most some Japanese people who bought them back in foreign countries can use them.

Of course, what they hate is not that Dragon Claw doesn't sell things to them, but that they feel that a small business in a medieval country dares to openly "blockade" a "big country" like Japan, which is simply not too arrogant.

I have to say that Musk's international reputation is still quite big, at least bigger than Zhao Qi, who has just risen. When he spoke, many netizens and the media seemed to have found the truth, and the voices questioning and belittling Dragon Claw became louder.

During this period, some of the information about the electric smart car of Dragon Claw Technology has been revealed, and the specific channels are unknown, but the credibility is said to be quite high. This information successfully subtracted points for the dragon's claw and made the finishing touch to Musk's argument.

It turned out that the engine parameters of the dragon claw electric car were leaked, and it seems that this is a technology purchased by Guangdong Automobile from France seven or eight years ago, not to mention that it is not mature, and the power is still very small. Then, it was revealed that in order to increase the mileage and driving speed, the dragon claw smart car was forced to greatly reduce the thickness of the steel plate, and after cutting corners, the anti-collision performance of the dragon claw car was extremely underground, and the safety performance was almost none. Finally, there is news that inside the dragon claw smart car, many core electronic smart devices and components are developed and produced by South Korea's Samsung Electronics. This means that Dragon Claw Technology does not really surpass the technology of its peers, but is a patchwork car, which naturally excites those who are not optimistic about Dragon Claw, and those who support Dragon Claw do not believe this information in any way.

When the reporter heard the news and surrounded the interview with Zhao Qi, whether the dragon claw car was so unbearable, Zhao Qi no longer had the previous arrogance, but was furious, pointing at the media and scolding, saying that the media spread rumors and slander, and even threatened to sue those media who slandered the dragon claw.

At this point, the relationship between the media and Dragon Claw suddenly stiffened, and public opinion became more and more unfavorable to Dragon Claw! (To be continued.) )
