「. The most important part of our prototype is three parts."

"They are the battery, the electronic control, and the motor."

「. Its battery pack plate is composed of 10 battery packs connected in series. Each battery pack consists of 444 lithium batteries, which are connected in parallel every 74 cells."

"In other words, this car uses 50 batteries, and the battery brand is Sony's latest 18650 battery."

"The 10 battery packs in the panel are evenly laid out on the housing, and the overall structure is compact, which is conducive to heat dissipation. Each battery pack consists of six single battery packs connected in series."

"The total storage capacity is about 46.8 kilowatts."

"The motor is currently Mitsubishi Electric."

"Because it's a prototype, it's an external product that is directly procured."

"At present, the only product with our own technology is the electronic control system."

In the research studio, Professor Hans talked eloquently to Abel in front of dozens of people.

"The battery pack of this car is made up of thousands of 18650 batteries connected in series and parallel to form a single panel."

"In addition to the simple integration work, we also need to consider the heat dissipation performance inside the battery to avoid failure caused by the high temperature inside the battery panel, and also take into account the degradation of battery performance caused by low temperatures in winter."

"It took us two months to develop a set of electronic controls. At present, this electronic control management is perfect, which can effectively avoid the above problems."

Abel listened to Professor Hans for almost ten minutes, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt Professor Hans's tirade.

Abel asked:

"In other words, in addition to electronic control technology. The rest of the ones are ready-made?"

Professor Hans nodded generously in acknowledgement:

"Yes. Because you're in too much of a hurry. You want to see the prototype right away, that's the only way to do it at the moment."

"Real research. In particular, this kind of research that is ahead of its time cannot be achieved overnight."

"It takes years for battery technology to be developed. Subsequent production also takes time."

"The motor is simple, but there are already good products on the market, and we can purchase them directly."

"The only thing that can see immediate results is battery management technology."

Abel listened to his explanation and nodded slightly.

Abel himself remembers Tesla in parallel time and space.

Its first product is that except for the electronic control technology, which is its own, all the others are assembled products bought from outside.

That Tesla did this, and the Tesla here asked for results as soon as possible.

Do the same.

That means that this approach should be the least time- and cost-effective option.

But Abel knows very well that his Tesla will not follow the path taken by Tesla in parallel time and space.

Musk's Tesla is indeed a success.

Whether it is himself or Tesla's shareholders, they have made a lot of money from Tesla.

But if it's just to make money, Abel doesn't need to toss such a technologically immature thing.

Abel has more places, better ways, and can make money faster.

The reason why Abel chose the electric car track.

It is because of this track, if it can form a complete industrial chain.

It is by no means smaller than the traditional gasoline car industry.

The automobile industry is basically an industry with the strongest carrying capacity and employment capacity among modern industries.

If you look at German cars and Japanese cars, you can directly raise two of the world's top five economic powers.

Take Neon Man, for example.

Neon's automobile manufacturing industry directly and indirectly employs 5.4 million industrial workers.

Behind 10,000 people are more than 5 million families.

More than 10 million people are irradiated.

More importantly, the income of the workers in this industrial chain is in the upper middle of the ordinary class.

This group of people and their families belong to the backbone of Neon's society.

In Germany, there are about 35 million people employed.

And among these 35 million people. Around 5.3 million people are employed in the German automotive industry, including indirect employment.

Similar to the neon people, the car is the main lifeblood industry in both countries.

From this, it can be seen that the automobile industry is definitely a modern industry and the pillar of social employment.

Finally, the United States, where the auto industry has been in decay for decades.

That shocking "embroidered ribbon" is a trace of the decline of the American auto industry.

Abel has the latest data on the U.S. auto industry.

Last year in 2000, the U.S. auto industry accounted for only about 7% of the U.S. GDP, and the entire industry only had about a million people.

Compared with neon and Germany, it can be said that it has been very weak.

Abel chose electric vehicles as one of the troika in his industry.

It is because he wants to build the electric vehicle industry in advance.

And directly put the industrial chain in the United States.

Not to mention that the number of direct and indirect jobs is more than 5 million like Neon and Germany.

Abel himself plans to return to Texas in the near future.

First, I was concerned about my father's career as a county magistrate, and secondly, I wanted to care about the "American Pacific Supermarket", which was established not long ago and now has only five branches in Tarrant County.

This is the other of the troika that Abel envisioned.

For Pacific Supermarket, Abel's vision for it is not just a new Wal-Mart.

If it's just Wal-Mart, no matter how good it is, it can't surpass Wal-Mart.

No matter what Walmart says, it also has a first-mover advantage and a brand advantage.

What's more, outside of Wal-Mart, those private retail giants are the real giants.

They are entrenched in various states, and in many cases even Wal-Mart has difficulty getting in.

Abel's requirements for the Pacific are Walmart + Amazon or JD.com.

To put it simply, it is to take advantage of the rise of online shopping to create a network that integrates real retail + Internet sales.

Abel's vision is for the Pacific Ocean to spread branches all over the country in the future.

But each Pacific branch is also a warehouse and express node for the local online store Pacific.

Let's put it this way, it's a combination of Walmart + JD.com/Amazon.

Each Pacific is a warehouse, a supermarket, and an express outlet.

Then try to sell the goods to every American, and be a real giant in the retail industry.

If this vision succeeds, the Pacific of the future will be a freak of tradition and networking.

Compared with the electric vehicle industry chain, which has some hope.

On the contrary, Abel is not very sure whether he can get the freak of Walmart + Amazon out.

The main reason for engaging in the electric vehicle industry is that scientific research and U.S. policies do not match.

To get such a freak as the Pacific Ocean, it is necessary to overcome the local snakes that are entrenched in the states one by one.

Fortunately, Abel still has time, and he is still very young.

He has more than 10 years to achieve his own ideas.

Until then, preliminary preparation is essential.

For example, his fantasy "Smith Giant", the media loudspeaker in his left hand.

There are many things that he needs to arrange and do in person.

On this day, noon.

Accompanied by MGM CEO Robert Iger, Abel traveled to Emeryville, California.

Emory

Vale is a city in northern California, USA, located in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, part of Alameda County, and close to the cities of Berkeley and Oakland.

In Emeryville, Abel meets a figure who will later be regarded as the godfather of technology.

The man's name was Steve Jobs.

City of Emeryville.

In a café called "ffee".

Abel meets Steve Jobs.

&1 year Jobs was energetic. Wearing a black wool shirt that seems to have never been changed, and the bottom half of the body is jeans.

The opening remarks are very simple, Robert acts as an intermediary and introduces their respective identities to the two respectively.

In fact, with the popularity of the two in the United States, this kind of introduction is completely unnecessary.

It's just a matter of social etiquette.

After a simple pleasantries.

Jobs smiled and said to Robert:

"I can't believe that one day, Robert will leave Disney. Michael Eisner is really not a likable person, and it seems that even you can't stand him!"

Jobs didn't like Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, and many people on the West Coast knew about it.

Jobs even sarcastically said in a media interview: "In our more than ten years of cooperation, Michael came to Pixar for only two and a half hours... He had never been curious. Curiosity is important."

But Jobs seems to be on good terms with Robert Iger.

This should have something to do with Robert Iger, who was previously at Disney, was one of the heads of the animation department himself.

"Don't talk about Disney anymore. Steve." Facing the snarky Jobs.

Robert Egger, who looks a bit like Mickey Mouse, laughs:

"I'm working for Mr. Smith now, and I'm the CEO of MGM now. Disney's business has nothing to do with me anymore."

"Oh~" Jobs raised his eyebrows, which had already begun to turn a little.

"So you're starting to get out of the Disney corner for your boss and MGM now?"

Old Joe's slightly bitter words from beginning to end made Abel a little unbearable.

Abel looked at Robert Iger, who smiled helplessly at the boss, as if to say-[This guy is like this!] 】

Honestly, before meeting Jobs today.

As a reborn, as one of those who once enjoyed the convenience of a smartphone.

Abel has a certain affection for Jobs.

It's the same as the person in front of the screen.

But now this is a vivid, snarky and even mean Jobs.

Somewhat broke Abel's favor.

Abel's tone couldn't help but be unkind.

Abel answered Jobs' question before Robert Iger could speak.

"In business. Mr. Jobs." Abel retracted the smile he had just had, and said solemnly:

"I think Robert is a noble man by doing this."

"As the CEO of Apple. I think Mr. Jobs you. I don't want Apple's executives to think about his past company after coming to Apple, right?"

After listening to Abel's words, Jobs was silent for a moment, and then spoke:

"You're such a sharp-toothed gentleman, Mr. Smith."

"Your teeth look sharp, too, Mr. Jobs." Abel replied directly.

Looking at the atmosphere of the two, there was a bit of conflict.

Robert Iger hurried out to play the round.

The MGM CEO smiled and said, "Hey, two. We're here for coffee today, but there's a reason!"

His words reminded Abel and Jobs, and the two of them let go of their eyes looking at each other.

Abel finally knew why Jobs, as the founder of Apple, was a director of Apple

Things will give the reason for the exorcism.

With this kind of character, as long as it doesn't affect the company, it's strange if you don't get driven away.

Jobs is also really talented, plus Apple is decaying behind it.

Apple's board of directors had to pinch its nose and invite Jobs back again.

This guy is indeed very talented, and when he returned to Apple a few years ago, he saved Apple, which was about to go bankrupt at the time.

An iM, a successful product that gave Jobs a foothold in Apple again.

If not really talented.

That kind of character is probably the legendary bar spirit.

Abel simply stopped talking.

He asked Robert Iger, the CEO of a good old man, to communicate with Jobs.

The purpose of communication is also very simple.

That is, MGM wants to buy more than 50% of Pixar's animation shares in Jobs' hands.

MGM acquires Pixar Animation.

This is Robert Iger's suggestion to Abel.

The reason is simple.

According to Robert Iger, that's —

"It's not just animation. Pixar also has one of the most powerful special effects technologies available today."

MGM's follow-up series of superhero movies are undoubtedly very special effects.

MGM and DreamWorks themselves are here, and they have some of their technological prowess.

But when you compare it to Pixar, it's really nothing.

Playing with technology, Jobs with Old Joe, a tech maniac, is far ahead of any Hollywood company.

In addition, since 1997, when new contracts promoted Disney and Pixar as equal brands, Pixar's reputation has grown stronger.

The trust of the audience in Pixar in the market is increasing day by day.

Last year, a study by a marketing company showed that mothers of children under the age of 12 already believed that the Pixar brand was superior to Disney.

But Michael Eisner still didn't realize Disney's problems with cartoons, and he didn't think Disney needed Pixar much.

After all, 85% of Pixar's film rights currently belong to Disney.

Before that, Pixar and Disney were close to each other.

That is, between the top levels, because of Michael Eisner's lack of attention, both sides are quite dissatisfied.

And Robert Iger, as the former head of Disney's animation department.

This Mickey Mouse in parallel time and space has long been aware of this.

That's why parallel time and space.

Robert Iger had just become the CEO of Disney and visited Pixar Animation headquarters the next day.

And after he really took power, Robert's first big thing at Disney.

Even if it costs 13.6% of Disney's shares and costs $7.4 billion, Pixar will also be eaten.

Robert Iger's decision proved to be a success.

The special effects of the follow-up Marvel series of superhero films can be so successful and natural, and Pixar has contributed a lot.

It can be said that Pixar at this time needs technology and technology, and brand and brand.

The only missing copyright, MGM, DreamWorks, and Marvel also have a way to make up for it.

According to Robert Iger, as long as MGM can take Pixar.

In the movie, MGM will no longer have flaws.

So Abel accompanied Robert Iger to the location of Pixar's headquarters.

That is, here in Emeryville, Steve Jobs, who is still the chairman of Pixar, was invited over.

Robert Iger, who had a good relationship with Jobs, wanted to buy Pixar from Jobs.

I just didn't expect that Jobs and Abel would have a bit of a conflict so soon.
