Moretz does not believe that Tesla's technical problems have been solved, and the reason why he came only because of the professional report given by the analysis team led by the chief analyst.
He's a good investment genius, but whether he invests in Google or Yahoo, it's all about the reports of professional analysts. It is precisely because of this that he doesn't quite believe that Wen Ming alone can solve the problems that Tesla has not been able to solve in the past few years.
"Mr. Moretz, what do you think of Microsoft's P system? Or rather, what about the Nokia 2010 launched by Nokia this time? ”
At the test site inside Tesla's headquarters, the excited Zev was arranging the test drive, while Wen Ming and Moritz were 'chatting' next to him.
Moretz looked at the new car in the test field, which was no different from the convertible sports car launched by Tesla before, and asked with some surprise: "As a person who has redefined mobile phones, why should you consult me, a non-professional?" ”
Moretz's surprise was not at all about Wen Ming, but about the new car.
Wen Ming also understands this, because the new car really doesn't have any changes from the previous one from the outside.
"I believe that any professional in the mobile phone industry is not as good as your understanding of the future prospects of the mobile phone industry, nor as good as your understanding of what kind of mobile phones users need."
The fundamental principle of the investment industry is to buy low and sell high. But everyone in the world understands this truth, but neither in the stock market nor in the capital market, not one in ten thousand people can succeed.
As a partner of Sequoia Capital, Moretz can be said to control almost all the investment directions of Sequoia Capital after the founder of Sequoia Capital stepped back into the background. For such a person, a brand new mobile phone system, a new flagship model, how can it not be in-depth?
Even if they don't want to invest in Nokia, they can study the market potential of the P system and then look for cheap mobile phone manufacturers that can use the P system.
After smiling, Moretz asked, "Are you worried about Microsoft?" As far as I know, Bill Gates is preparing to take a stake in your Apple company. ”
Wen Ming was speechless for a while, Moretz doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, normally speaking, shouldn't you help Wen Ming analyze the future of Nokia, and the future of the P mobile phone operating system?
In fact, this is really too simple for Wen Ming, he thinks that Moretz wants to take a stake in Tesla, so he needs to hold him now. Sequoia Capital's analysis report on the P system should be directly shared with him.
However, when there was no sign of taking a stake in Tesla, how could a person like Moretz, who did not see rabbits and eagles, share any information with him?
This is also Moretz's way of exerting pressure on Wenming, no matter how high Apple's revenue and net profit margin are, it will lack real professionals because of its shallow foundation. Rome was not built in a day, and a commercial empire could not be built in a year.
Founded in the last century, Sequoia Capital has amassed not only countless wealth and connections, but also a talent pool that would be the envy of all companies.
"Yes, he does want to take a stake in Apple."
Wen Ming couldn't ask, and he wasn't going to ask again, he believed that after the new car test was over, Moritz would definitely have to change his attitude towards him. Just like Teresa Roy at the beginning, no one can ignore Wen Ming in the face of technology that can create profits.
"However, that is entirely his private behavior, and has nothing to do with Microsoft."
Moretz laughed and asked, "It's like you bought Tesla, is it your private act, and it has nothing to do with Apple?" ”
Wen Ming scolded the old fritter in his heart, and then saw Zefu running over.
"Testing can begin."
Wen Ming nodded, and after gesturing with Moretz, the two sides began to watch the test data next to the monitoring station.
Because of the constraints of the venue, of course, it was impossible to let the convertible sports car run happily. Therefore, there are only a few simple test items.
"The first item is 100 kilometers of acceleration, and our runway is a distance of 300 meters in a straight line, which is enough to test its acceleration of 100 kilometers."
(PS: Foreigners generally use 0 to 60 miles.) )
"Previously, our car accelerated to 100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, which can be said to have set a record for an all-electric sports car. ”
Rich people in Silicon Valley have a special attachment to sports cars, unlike the rich in other places who only like Bentleys or Rolls-Royces after a certain age, and many of them still like supercars after the age of 60.
Moretz is naturally one of them, perhaps because the investment industry pursues an emerging industry, so he also knew something about Tesla's new sports car.
"3.7 seconds is beyond many people's imagination."
With a rare flattery, Moretz said, "It's just 0.7 seconds slower than my Ferrari." ”
This kind of flattery makes Zev not know how to answer, and it stands to reason that comparing Ferrari, a world-famous supercar brand, with Tesla, a newborn, should make Tesla feel honored. But is this really a good comparison? Especially in front of Tesla's boss.
Wen Ming didn't answer, but said directly to Zefu: "Let's start." ”
Zev nodded, gave the order to the testers next to him, and after a roar of air that was different from that of a supercar, the Tesla Roadster turned into a red lightning bolt and rushed to the end of the straight track.
Truth be told, the difference between 3.7 seconds and 3 seconds is really hard to tell with the naked eye without contrast.
Moretz wasn't shocked, as he was sitting in the car while enjoying the Ferrari's 3-second acceleration of 100 km/h.
But after four seconds of running, the Tesla Roadster began to slow down. At this time, the testers next to them cheered wildly, and they shouted emotionally for a time.
2.7 seconds!
Moretz's eyebrows raised, as an investor who wants to invest in Tesla, of course he doesn't believe that Tesla dares to deceive him on this issue, but this amazing acceleration time of 100 kilometers still makes him can't help but look at the screen next to him.
Test result – 2.7 seconds.
"That's really...... It's amazing. ”
Moretz finally put away his composure, because he knew what the number represented.
Among the world's mass-produced supercars, there are only 10 models that can accelerate to 100 kilometers per second in less than 3 seconds. Of the 10 models, the only one that can exceed 2.7 seconds is the Bugatti Veil's 2.5 seconds.
Neither Ferrari, nor McLaren, nor Koenigsegg, can surpass Tesla's figures. In the final analysis, it is not a technical problem, but the platform gap between fuel vehicles and pure electric vehicles.
Wen Ming didn't feel too surprised, because in another world, Tesla launched a sports car Tesla Model S that accelerates to 100 kilometers in 2.7 seconds, of which the top one, the acceleration of 100 kilometers is 2.7 seconds, and the acceleration of 100 kilometers in other configurations is generally about 4 seconds.
After all, he still didn't come up with real black technology, not because he couldn't get it, but because it was enough.
After Moretz exclaimed, Wen Ming said: "Test the range. ”
Zefu got busy, and Wen Ming said to Moretz: "This is just our laboratory product, if you add some configurations, it can be faster." That doesn't make much sense, though. ”
Moretz was even more shocked this time, and asked, "You mean, this 2.7 seconds can be mass-produced?" ”
……
……
ps: I know that there are bosses who understand sports cars who want to complain, to tell the truth, I checked the 100 kilometers acceleration list of production models for ten minutes, don't blame me for saying wrong, please blame Du Niang.
