This is a virtuous circle.

With a lot of money invested, more products can be produced and more profit value can be realized.

The potential is unlimited!

A large number of investment groups, top companies, investment groups, etc., are eyeing up the investment in Yixing, and they hurriedly sent people to inquire about the situation, hoping to seize the opportunity of financing and get shares in Yixing company.

Yixing company suddenly became much more lively. If it was originally a company with dozens of people, it would have encountered problems in reception. Fortunately, recently, Yixing has recruited on a large scale, and the company has expanded to hundreds of employees. It has also expanded logistics, Finance, sales and other departments naturally have no problem with the reception.

Among them, the ones worthy of Zhao Yi's personal reception are the heads of the top companies.

Among the heads of the top companies who came here, the most important one is Tesla CEO Musk. Musk specially took a plane to country Z. After getting off the plane in the capital, he went straight to Zheng Yang.

With the rise of new energy vehicles, Tesla is the best-developed among them, and its market value has achieved several times in a few years, even exceeding 2000 billion US dollars.

Musk is also a legend. He was born in South Africa, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a double degree in economics and physics, and later created the publishing software "zip2", electronic payment "" and "paypal".

After that, Musk invested [-] million U.S. dollars and founded Space Exploration Technologies (spacex) as the CEO and CTO.

Two years later, Musk invested $630 million in Tesla Motors and became the company's chairman.

Two years later, Musk invested US$1000 million and co-founded Solar City, a photovoltaic power generation company, with his partners.

The companies founded and invested by Musk have developed very well so far, especially SpaceX and Tesla, which have become the world's top companies, one in the field of space exploration, and the other in the field of new energy vehicles.

Now that Musk has come to Zhengyang, he hopes to reach a certain cooperation with Yixing Company on the technology of "Infinite Power".

This is very urgent.

Although Tesla's development is very good, the company's stock price has been chattering due to the impact of the launch of Infinity Motor.

Because of the limited number of Infinity Power cars manufactured, it is not yet possible to challenge Tesla's position, but more cars will definitely be manufactured in the future. At that time, Tesla will usher in a direct challenge, a direct "cross-dimensional" blow.

Mainly because of technical strikes.

Space light energy transmission technology solves the biggest technical difficulty of electric vehicles, which is the time-consuming problem of charging.

The reason why many people still choose to buy fuel vehicles is because electric vehicles are too troublesome to charge, and the charging time is at least half an hour, and frequent high-voltage charging and discharging will cause permanent damage to the battery, and the battery is an electric vehicle. Core.

If there is a space light energy transmission technology and a light energy receiving converter is manufactured, the charging problem can be perfectly solved.

At that time, the battery technology mastered by Tesla will be meaningless at all, and other companies will be able to manufacture corresponding batteries and create similar electric vehicles.

Although there is a "cross-dimensional" gap in technology, Musk still believes that Tesla and Yixing can reach a certain level of cooperation in the field of automobile manufacturing because the technologies of the two parties are complementary.

If we can cooperate with Tesla to create an 'unlimited power car', the performance of the car can be perfected.

Chapter 645 Code Is the Most Precious Wealth

After Musk and his party arrived at Yixing, the receptionist was in charge of contacting them. After waiting for about two hours, they finally saw Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi's work schedule is still very busy. He went to Zhengyang University and personally talked about the construction of the new major. The name of the new major is not Space Transmission Technology. The name of Space Transmission Technology is too big, because it is aimed at The permanent skill course is named 'Electronic Beam Arrangement and Cryptography', which means to set the beam arrangement by means of codes.

Zhengyang University attaches great importance to the new major. The university has negotiated a cooperation with Yixing Company. It is guaranteed that at least half of the first three batches of graduates of the new major will be employed in Yixing Company.

This cooperation gave Zhengyang University a reassurance. At the same time, it will also make the major of "Electron Beam Arrangement and Cryptography" the most popular college-level course in the university.

In addition, Zhao Yi also arranged for technical personnel from several companies to work part-time as lecturers of professional courses at Zhengyang University.

After everything was negotiated, he returned to the company as a receptionist.

Musk has been waiting for a long time, but he and the team are not in a hurry. Zhao Yi is the world's number one scientist and has opened a company by himself. It is conceivable how busy the work is.

When Zhao Yi returned to the company, he saw Musk, walked over from a distance and apologized, "I'm really sorry, I was a little busy just now, and I just came here now. I've been waiting for a long time."

Let's be courteous.

Zhao Yi then took a group of people to visit various parts of the company.

What Musk and his team are most interested in is the unlimited power car. There are no cars for sale abroad. They haven’t seen the finished product yet. They just see the open space outside through the glass window and park a few cool cars. Car.

During the visit, Musk couldn't help pointing out the glass window and asked, "That's the unlimited power car, right?"

"As you can see."

"Very cool."

"Thank you!"

Musk asked with interest, "Can I ask, which designer did this look come from?"

Automobile exterior design has great knowledge, but automobile designer is a very unpopular profession, because the market demand is very low, many people who are engaged in automobile exterior design can't find a job at all.

Because of this, a top car shape designer will become a sought-after meat and potatoes.

Many small car manufacturers do not have professional shape designers at all, and the shapes of the cars they manufacture are all "copy-copying and modifying".

Musk was also very surprised when he saw the shape of the car with unlimited power. With just a glance at the exterior design, he can be sure that it is from a top designer.

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "It's exactly my design."

"you?"

Musk opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then exclaimed, "I really didn't expect, Dr. Zhao, that you can even design the shape of a car, and you have such a perfect work!"

He called Zhao Yi "doctor" because Zhao Yi is a top scientist, and it is a respectful title for scholars.

Zhao Yi said, "It's nothing." Then he continued, "I think you are probably interested in cars, right? I'll just take you to see cars!"

Musk suddenly smiled, "Thank you! This is exactly what we are here for."

Zhao Yi took a group of people outside and surrounded a car with unlimited power. He lifted the front and rear covers of the car himself, and pointed to each part to introduce, "Our design is the energy supply of the middle battery. The main energy compartment is located under the rear seats and is directly connected to the motor with the highest power at the rear, which saves space and does not make the car chassis look too high."

"Because it's not purely driven by electricity, the car's battery doesn't take up much space, and it doesn't make the chassis look too high."

He gave a simple explanation, and asked people to open the bottom and remove the light energy receiving converter.

"This is the main energy device. The specific structure, of course, is kept secret for the time being. It can provide up to 45KW of continuous power supply."

When this data came out, it immediately aroused the amazement of Musk and his team.

"Are you sure? It's him?" Musk walked over in amazement, "Can I touch it?"

"of course can."

Zhao Yi stepped aside and asked Musk to touch it a few times, but he couldn't find anything just by touching it. After a few touches, Musk lost interest.

The group walked back to the office area and directly entered the conference room.

At this time, the key point came.

Musk talked about the technology that Tesla has mastered, as well as Tesla's dominance in the field of electric vehicles, including how many high-end patents it has mastered, including the battery technology it has developed, and of course the most important thing, the development of an overall car system.

The trams that Tesla can produce are indeed at the top of the world in terms of performance, system, control, etc., because they focus on manufacturing trams, and their technology in the field of trams is very comprehensive.

After Musk finished speaking, he asked directly, "This time my team and I are here to seek cooperation with Yixing."

"Specifically?" Zhao Yi asked.

"The unlimited power car is not perfect." Musk said, "You have mastered unimaginable technology, but in other aspects, such as power supply and control systems, there are many deficiencies. In addition, if nothing else, you should We have not yet developed unmanned driving technology, and we can cooperate in these areas.”

Zhao Yi listened patiently and nodded. Musk was telling the truth, but that alone could not convince him to cooperate.

Musk found that these alone could not impress Zhao Yi, so he simply said, "If we cooperate, we can jointly manufacture a car that can last for more than six hours with only 10 kilowatts of continuous power supply."

"If it is used intermittently, I think the daily driving time will not be less than 10 hours."

The meaning of this number could not be clearer.

Although the unlimited power car can continue to drive, the required energy supply is 10 to 30 kilowatts. When the full power is turned on, it will even exceed 40 kilowatts. High power means high energy consumption.

If we can manufacture a car that only needs 10 kilowatts of continuous power supply, the function time of the car will be longer, but the energy loss can be greatly reduced, which means that it can support the manufacture of more cars.

For example, [-] units could have been produced, but now [-] units can be produced.

This technology sounds simple, but in fact the solution is extremely complex, it must have a complete electronic detection system, as well as high-end charging and discharging battery pack technology.

Yixing Company's research and development in this direction can also solve some problems, but it is difficult for them to do research and development alone and work hard for one or two years, and it is difficult to perfect the system, and there may be various problems in the system.

This is not something Zhao Yi can solve alone.

The electronic system, the control system, plus the detection system, the on-board software are very complicated, just like the operating system of a computer. It takes too long to have a complete operating system and type the code line by line.

Zhao Yi's ability alone is limited. It is impossible for him to type out millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of codes.

That order of magnitude of code requires a large team to complete.

However, Zhao Yi still shook his head, and he said, "Mr. Musk, I admit that you are right, and the technology you have is exactly what we need. If we cooperate to build cars together, we can create a very perfect infinite car." power car."

Musk listened and nodded, without any change in expression.

Zhao Yi's voice suddenly changed, "But why do we want to make a perfect car? In the field of solar remote output technology, we have no competitors."

"Now our company manufactures a limited number of cars, and we can sell one if we make one."

"Although it is indeed attractive to manufacture more cars with the same energy supply, we can use high profits and high returns to launch more energy-gathering satellites to provide more energy."

"For us, solar energy is like the water in the sea, which is inexhaustible. When every drop of water can provide profits, all we have to do is to continuously expand the water channel and bring more seawater over. Enough, this is simple and convenient, and the efficiency is very high.

"On the contrary, in order to make every drop of water create more profits, we need to add a partner or even introduce a competitor. I don't think anyone would be stupid enough to do this, right?"

After hearing this, Musk took a deep breath. Of course he knew what Zhao Yi meant, and what he said was very clear.

Yixing Infinite Power Company does not need to improve technology and manufacture "more perfect cars", because even if they are not perfect, their cars will not worry about selling. All they have to do is launch more satellites and manufacture more cars. .

In terms of improving vehicle performance and reducing energy consumption, they can do it slowly and accumulate slowly, without having to find a partner for this.

Negotiations have come to a standstill.

Zhao Yi said that there is no need for cooperation, and there is no need to improve technology. The front is the truth, but the latter is not necessarily the case.

Musk knows this too.

At the same time, he also knows that Tesla is a passive party. As long as Yixing Infinite Power Co., Ltd. develops slowly, it will sooner or later eat away Tesla's market. Internationally, more people will definitely choose Infinity Power cars, not just trams. Tess.

The world's top and comprehensive tram technology is Tesla's advantage.

Unlimited power cars can indeed eat away at Tesla's market share, but how long will it take?Maybe ten years, 20 years, or even longer.

At the rate that Infinite Power cars are being built, it will take a long time to reach the market.

Musk was silent for a while, communicated with other people, and then continued, "Perhaps, we can change the way of cooperation."

-

When Musk lowered his stance, the negotiation was always under Yixing's control.

The two sides conducted several rounds of negotiations, and then reached an agreement on some issues. For example, cooperation is possible, but the bottom line is that Yixing does not provide relevant technologies, and it will not develop automotive products with Tesla.

For example, Tesla needs to provide some electronic software technology.

Tesla's demand is to hope that Yixing can sell a batch of light energy receiving converters.

Yixing also attaches great importance to the negotiation with Tesla. After four consecutive days of negotiations, the two companies finally negotiated a cooperation method.

The first is the software aspect.

Tesla provides part of the basic codes in the fields of electronic control and electronic detection.

In terms of software requirements, the two parties spent the longest time negotiating, because the content related to software functions is very complicated, and each part must be strived for. At the same time, Tesla will definitely provide as little core code as possible.

The basic code of electronic software can greatly speed up the speed of Yixing Company to build and improve the vehicle electronic system.

The second is that Tesla provides one billion US dollars, plus 0.5% of the company's shares, to replace 0.5% of the shares of Yixing Infinite Power Company.

Yixing Company is divided into Yixing Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. and Yixing Infinite Power.

What Tesla replaced was Yixing Infinite Power, which is the shares of the car manufacturing company.

This part sounds like Tesla is at a loss, but Musk is not a loser. He knows very well that the replacement of shares is the opportunity for Tesla to provide software code.

The main reason is that Yixing is not a company that you can invest in if you want to.

Even if it is public financing, the companies that can enter the investment are mainly official enterprises, supplemented by private enterprises, and foreign enterprises are at the bottom.

The market value of Tesla is very high now, but in a year or two, the market value of Yixing will most likely surpass Tesla.

The third point is the benefit of Tesla. They will purchase 2000 light energy receiving and converting devices that can continuously provide 10 kilowatts of electric energy at a price of [-] million US dollars.

This light energy receiving and converting device order was finalized by Yixing Infinite Power Company, Space Information Technology Company, and Advanced Compression Materials Company.

10 million U.S. dollars, to purchase 12 units of light receiving converters that can continuously provide [-] kilowatts of electricity, the average price per unit is [-] U.S. dollars.

This price can be said to be quite expensive, even about ten times the cost price, because only 10 kilowatts of power is provided, and the converter can be made much smaller.

However, for foreign automobile companies, they can buy the latest technology light energy receiving converters, no matter how high the price is, they can still earn money.

Musk left with the team.
