Chapter 555 R&D Center
Zhou Fei was right!
Combining the previous information and the face-to-face communication in the past few days, Zhou Fei concluded that Ramsey is a pure technical fanatic. As long as he can impress him in terms of technical solutions, then cooperation may not be a problem at all.

This point is very similar to Zhou Fei who started his business at the beginning, but now Zhou Fei has gradually transformed into a businessman. For businessmen, technology is of course important, but the importance of profit cannot be ignored.

"Are you sure? What I want is Human's 90.00% equity, not 20.00%." ​​Zhou Fei reconfirmed in a calm tone after hearing this.

"I'm sure. But I also have one condition. I hope that I will still be in charge of Human's unmanned driving project." Ramsey nodded, looked at Zhou Fei and said.

"This is for sure. Not only will you be in charge of Human's unmanned driving, but you will also be in charge of Tesla's unmanned driving project."

So far, Zhou Fei has not found anyone who can replace Ramsey in unmanned driving. As long as Ramsey is given enough support, Zhou Fei believes that Ramsey will achieve a breakthrough in this area.

"I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Zhou's high expectations." Hearing this, Ramsey couldn't help but replied excitedly. Just from Zhou Fei's words alone, it was worth Ramsey entrusting the company to him.

"Okay, let's discuss the specific details of the contract in detail in the afternoon. It is best to sign the contract tomorrow, so that we can start the next step." Zhou Fei paused and continued, "In addition, there are still There is one thing I need to discuss with you, that is, after the acquisition of Human, should the autonomous driving research and development center be located in the United States, or in Shanghai, Tesla’s headquarters in China, do you have any thoughts on this?”

In fact, it should be a better choice for Zhou Fei to put the R&D center of autonomous driving in Shanghai. It is not only convenient for management, but also easy to form linkage with Tesla's new car development project team. With the team led by Ramsey, they had to come to China to work.

"We haven't considered this question yet, but since we were acquired by Feichi Company, we should follow Mr. Zhou's opinion on the work arrangements." Ramsay thought for a while, and then replied.

Ramsey doesn't care where he works as long as he can realize his dream.

"That's what I mean too. I'll follow Mr. Zhou's arrangements." Lin Hua on the side also said.

"Then let me think about it again, and I will give you the answer in the afternoon." Zhou Fei nodded.

Afterwards, Zhou Fei exchanged views with Ramsey and Lin Hua on other issues, and decided to formally sign the acquisition agreement at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning.

After leaving Human's office, Zhou Fei urgently called the legal affairs of the headquarters, asking them to quickly draw up the contract, which will be revised and perfected in the afternoon.

"Mr. Zhou is still very good. He has subdued Ramsey with just one document. I am already ready to give up Human and find a partner company again." After Zhou Fei hung up the phone, Ma Huafu couldn't help but said.

"It's not that amazing. My material is only useful to Ramsey. I just accepted it. Ramsey is a pure technology madman and an idealist. He can realize driverless driving. For him, it should be the most important thing, as long as you think about it, it's actually not that difficult to understand." Zhou Fei replied with a smile.

In today's materialistic world, there are not many people as pure as Ramsey.

"I guess Schneider jumped up in anger on Nicholas' side?" Ma Huafu said with a smile on his face. He has always remembered what happened in Baixun last time.

"Let's not talk about anything else, where do you think it is more appropriate to put the R&D center for autonomous driving?" Thinking of this, Zhou Fei asked quickly.

If this matter is not confirmed, the subsequent work will not be developed.

"I think it's more appropriate to put it in Shanghai. We acquired Human, a company, for Tesla's new car development services. If the R&D center is located in the United States, will Tesla's project team also follow? ? Not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive transfer of personnel, but the perfect testing conditions in our headquarters are not available here."

Ma Huafu was the first to say that he considered this issue from the perspective of Tesla's development.

Zhou Fei nodded, then looked at Jiang Yang again, "Da Yang, what do you think?"

"I agree with Mr. Ma's point of view in principle, but it may not be impossible to place the R&D center in the United States."

"How to say?" Zhou Fei continued to ask.

"Next, we want to expand the European and American markets. We want to enhance Tesla's brand influence in Europe and the United States. At the same time, in order to show our importance to the European and American markets, the establishment of an automatic driving research and development center is the best action. As for Ma In general, whether Tesla’s development project team will also move here? I don’t think there is such a problem at this stage. Autonomous driving has just started, and there has not been any substantial progress. From research and development to results, and then to practical applications , there is still a long way to go, and the research on autonomous driving still needs to focus on theory.”

Jiang Yang paused, and then continued, "For the Tesla project team, the members responsible for intelligence can come here to learn. With the current Human personnel, after the acquisition, there will definitely be staff expansion. My thoughts Yes, the headquarters adopts the method of learning while improving. The foreign R&D center takes Human as the main body, and the domestic R&D center is located in Shanghai, but the foreign side is the pioneer. The domestic R&D center must rely on foreign countries. support."

Although Jiang Yang has said so much, in summary, there are only a few points. First of all, Jiang Yang supports the establishment of a research and development center abroad, but at the same time, a domestic research and development center can also be established, but the domestic research and development center depends on Blood transfusions from foreign R&D centers will do.

"I can understand what Mr. Jiang said, but the conditions here are really limited in all aspects, and there is not even a decent testing environment. Is it possible that everything must be started from scratch?" Ma Huafu thought for a moment, and then Said.

"Since we want to build a factory in Europe and America, the relevant supporting facilities must be improved. The test conditions can be developed and built at the same time, and the progress can completely keep up with it." Jiang Yang explained with a smile.

Ma Huafu opened his mouth, and wanted to say a few more words at first, but in the end he looked at Zhou Fei, "Mr. Zhou, it's up to you to decide what to do. It's up to you to decide where the R&D center is located."

Zhou Fei's brain is running fast. No matter whether the R&D center is located at home or abroad, it has to be treated in two parts. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Zhou Fei still agrees with Jiang Yang's analysis just now. If you want to develop Tesla into a world-class brand like Mercedes-Benz and BMW, you must have overseas research and development capabilities. It is not a good choice to put the first autonomous driving research and development center in the United States.

"Then according to Dayang's plan, put the R&D center here, but the domestic R&D team must also be established at the same time." Zhou Fei finally made a decision.
