If you cheat, money will follow

This scene in front of the White House will seem familiar to those who know history.

Probably in the 70s, that is, 1977.

In response to the panic caused by the fourth oil crisis.

The new President Carter fired the first shot of the "energy revolution".

He spent $29 (purchasing power equivalent to $1000 million today?) to install solar panels on the roof of the White House.

Then, with a bright smile similar to Ao Guanhai's, he accepted an interview with reporters.

He told reporters: "This is the greatest and most exciting step in history..."

"Soon, these panels will be spread all over the country, saying goodbye to fuel and achieving energy independence."

Reporters happily relayed President Carter's words to people across the country.

As a result, North America is immersed in a jubilant atmosphere of "energy independence."

And the people don't know.

The electricity obtained from these solar panels can only support boiling water in the White House kitchen.

History is always strikingly similar.

Iron Man Musk didn’t even know about this meeting.

He was also chairing meetings with the company's management, he told the company's executives.

"I'm prepared to spend $10 billion to reshape the production lines of our Gigafactory."

“Everything from frame production to screw installation is replaced by robotic arms.”

The executives were stunned. Everyone knew that Musk had no money now.

"Mr. Elon, what about the battery? The super factory needs super batteries." A senior executive asked boldly.

Musk smiled mysteriously:

"I have a road in China. It's a little more difficult, but it's not impossible."

"Once we succeed, we'll take off."

"You first come up with a plan to reshape the production line according to my ideas."

at this time.

The assistant ran in and whispered a few words in Musk's ear, which probably meant:

The White House held a meeting on new energy and he was not invited.

The aide even showed him the photo in front of the White House.

Musk was surprised after hearing this, and after the surprise, he became furious.

He slammed the table angrily, picked up his phone angrily, opened Twitter angrily...

Then, he posted the photo on Twitter with the following comment:

"Some people's noses seem to be getting longer."

"What is the current level of our electric vehicles? Let Ford take the C position? Can he take the position?"

"He can't stand, you know he doesn't have the ability?"

"We have already lost to China, and we will lose to Japan next. After losing to Japan, we will lose to India, and after losing to India, we will have nothing to lose."

After Musk sent this tweet, he felt that he was not angry enough.

He followed up with a tweet, a photo of him and his private jet.

"i am going to huaxia!"

the next day.

As expected, Musk got on his newly purchased Gulfstream G650ER and flew to Beijing.

After arriving in Beijing.

He couldn't wait to contact his "old friend".

Three days later, I met my "old friend".

Facing the "old friend", Musk put forward his personal thoughts:

He wants to build a wholly-owned super factory in China.

He was completely disappointed with the Gigafactory in Texas.

He pinned his hopes on China.

He knows that currently only China can pull him and Tesla out of the production capacity trap.

China has complete infrastructure, efficient administrative system, and complete supply chain...

There are also workers who are tireless as long as they are paid enough.

When he spent 20 minutes explaining his personal thoughts and reasons, as well as the benefits of setting up a wholly-owned factory.

His "old friend" told him tactfully:

“The country is making appropriate adjustments to new energy policies.”

"At present, the conditions for setting up a wholly-owned factory are not mature, so we need to wait patiently."

Musk understood.

What does immature condition mean? It means it is impossible.

He understands Chinese culture very well.

He has learned to use WeChat's unique chat method - emoticons.

He uses emoticons on Twitter to replace his personal emotions, which is concise and clear.

However, he did not gain anything.

He and his "old friend" took a photo under the huge landscape painting of welcoming pine trees.

After meeting old friends.

Musk flew to Jiangzhou non-stop again.

At Leda Investment in Jiangzhou, he met another "old friend", Zeng Xi.

Zeng Xi received him equally warmly.

Musk repeated his old tricks and wanted to persuade Zeng Xi to provide Tesla with super batteries.

Zeng Xi replied to him:

"Mr. Musk, the crux of the problem now does not lie with our company. I hope you can understand."

Musk asked: "I understand, what I want to say is, if our country lifts this very ridiculous ban, is it still possible?"

Zeng Xi’s attitude was clear: “Of course, why not?”

"We do not refuse cooperation from any company in the world, no matter what financial background it has."

Musk got the answer he wanted, and then wanted to meet again.

Zeng Xi said: "It's unlucky for you that the boss is not here."

Finally, the two took a photo together in the office.

The background is a landscape painting of "Bamboo Forest Game".

That night, Musk posted a photo of him and two old friends on his personal Twitter.

He also specially explained:

"This trip to China was very successful. I got what I wanted..."

"Tesla's production capacity bottleneck should be broken soon."

As a manic celebrity who attracts much attention in North America, his every move is always followed by the media.

When he updated his Twitter, he also posted two meaningful pictures. The media reported:

"Musk, who is about to go bankrupt, grasped at straws?"

“A billionaire has found a home in a socialist country?”

"Super factory + super battery! Is the ban lifted?"

Xiao Zha appeared out of nowhere.

He posted a message on his personal Facebook account:

"It's strange, why is our major shareholder's stock still frozen? Did he forget to unfreeze it?"

This message means that Musk is lying.

After Musk learned of the news, he immediately responded:

"I hate Facebook so much. They systematically, continuously and illegally invade people's privacy."

This sentence made Xiao Zha furious.

Because, some people have now pointed out that Facebook has done nothing to protect personal privacy.

I hope the review authority will review it.

Xiao Zha immediately counterattacked: "How can a liar make people believe that he is not lying?"

Musk was furious: "Zuck is a complete softie."

Xiao Zha hit back again: "Coward? We can fight in a cage. You decide the place and time."

The media was excited.

Two billionaires resolve their personal grievances in the most unpretentious way?

What could be more interesting than this?

More explosive?

As a result, the Internet went crazy.

CBS, FOX, ABC... and other media are also fanning the flames behind the scenes.

"Hey, Msuk, it's your turn now, are you scared?"

Some media even analyzed and compared the strength of the two.

Musk, 45 years old, is 1.87 meters tall and weighs 85 kilograms.

He likes donuts and Coke and rarely exercises. The most strenuous exercise is probably with his wife.

Xiao Zha, 32 years old, is 1.71 meters tall and weighs 60 kilograms.

He lives a self-disciplined life and has been receiving MMA training.

Xiao Zha claims that he can complete the "Murphy Challenge" training in 40 minutes.

Musk claims that he has mastered the "walrus" stunt, using his body to overwhelm his opponents.

The president of the UFC is here and he hopes to host this fight.

Italy's Minister of Culture contacted the two and said that the Colosseum could be provided as a venue for the duel.

The betting agency also came out and set odds for the two.

Seeing that everything was ready, Musk's mother stood up.

She stopped the game.

He also suggested having a "literary fight", such as sitting together and answering each other's questions.

Musk walked downstairs:

"Great idea, we could have a literal Big D length measuring competition..."

"ZUCK, what do you think? This is a game for adults."

Xiao Zha: "..."

media:"……"

Netizen: "..."

The spat that lasted for more than half a month has become the focus and hot spot on the global Internet recently.

Chang Le enjoyed watching it very much.

He even wanted to add fuel to the fire between the two of them.

Let the two turn their acting into reality and have a real cage fight.

Let’s see who is more powerful in MMA or the walrus stunt.

For example, the winning party takes 1% of the shares of the losing party's company.

The premise is that CFIUS and SEC allow it. After all, Leda Investment's shares are still frozen.
