My Age of Investment

   Chapter 246

  "Daren, thank you very much for telling me so much."

  Straubel raised his head suddenly, and said sincerely in his eyes.

  Xia Jingxing has a bad feeling in her heart, don't say "but"!

"but……"

  Straubel took out his phone, smiled and said, "But, I have to call Elon and say sorry to him."

  Xia Jingxing quickly understood the other party's intention, which was to call Musk in front of her.

  High EQ behavior!

   said that he cut the back road and followed Tesla desperately.

  It is estimated that there is still some meaning to repair the relationship, after all, he just rejected the retention of the two founders, Eberhard and Tarpening.

   "Okay, you can hit it!"

  Xia Jingxing raised his hand and said with a smile on his face.

  Straubel dialed the phone and turned on the amplifier. A male voice came from the other end of the phone, with a bit of joy in his tone:

  "Straubel, have your resignation procedures been completed? Did Tesla's people stop you? Do you need a lawyer for you?"

  Xia Jingxing laughed and said nothing. Musk had arranged all the lawyers, for fear that he would not let anyone out. This **** was ruthless.

"Forehead……"

  Hearing Musk's sincere expression, Straubel also had a headache, and he felt a little ashamed.

   dragged a long ending, without speaking for a long time.

   "Straubel, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling well? I have a private family doctor. Would you like to ask him to see it for you?"

  Xia Jingxing suppressed his laughter and turned his head to the side, not wanting to put pressure on Straubel.

  But Straubel misunderstood this "turning head" action, thinking that the boss was a little dissatisfied.

  Thinking that he had already made a decision, he no longer struggled, and said lightly:

   "I'm very sorry, Mr. Musk, I still decided to stay at Tesla. I can only thank you for your kindness."

  On the other side of the phone, Musk thought he had heard it wrong. After a while, he asked: "Are you dissatisfied with the salary and equity offered by Nicholas? Actually, these are all negotiable."

  As long as you work steadily in Nikola and achieve results, I will not be stingy with rewards. "

   "No, after some consideration, I think Tesla is more suitable for me!"

  Straubel’s eyes were firm, Xia Jingxing chatted with him for a long time, and the career blueprints and prospects that he described deeply attracted him.

  Compared with Tesla, Nikola's attraction to him is not so strong.

  Xia Jingxing and the two founders are keeping him an employee who has only joined the company for two months, indicating that Tesla still attaches great importance to him.

  Moreover, Xia Jingxing also gave him so many promises.

   "Tesla is more suitable for you?"

   Musk smiled angrily, "Are you sure? You are at Tesla, just an employee, an employee who is not valued.

   Come to Nicolas, I let you be the co-founder, responsible for all technical development. "

   "Mr. Musk, you don't have to persuade me anymore. I have already decided, and I am very sorry."

   Musk is almost furious.

  He gave such a good condition that he could not dig out an ordinary Tesla employee.

  This made him feel a very strong sense of frustration. Isn’t Nikolai that bad?

   Then he thought, could it be that Straubel was threatened? Forced to reject Nikolai.

   Thinking of this, he eased his tone and asked: "Straubel, if you are threatened, please tell me and I will help you settle it."

  Straubel glanced at Xia Jingxing, then gave a wry smile: "Really not, so be it, Mr. Musk."

  After speaking, Straubel was about to hang up.

"and many more!"

   Musk hurriedly shouted.

   "Anything else?"

   Musk asked calmly: "I want to ask, why are you staying at Tesla, and where is Nikola inferior to them?"

  Straubel glanced at Xia Jingxing, who nodded and smiled at him, motioning for him to talk casually.

   "Plan for the future!"

  In a short sentence, Musk’s proud heart was broken to pieces, and he murmured on the phone: “Planning for the future?”

  My Musk’s life is not weaker than others. Some people say that I can’t plan for the future of Nikola Motors?

   "You should know that I also have an aerospace company called SpaceX?"

   Musk was not convinced, and moved the little rocket out, ready to find the place.

  "SpaceX does have a grand vision, but as far as cars are concerned, your plan for Nikola is not as good as Darren."

   Musk sneered, "Daren, that Chinese, would I be inferior to him?"

  Straubel gave Xia Jingxing a glance, and continued to show his loyalty: "Yes, you are not as good as him."

   Hearing this sentence, Musk's temper suddenly broke out. On the phone, he said that Nikola will definitely defeat Tesla, and that Tesla will be acquired, so that the brand will disappear completely.

  From time to time, there are a few swear words, not necessarily directed at Straubel, but may also be directed at Xia Jingxing.

  Straubel also did not expect that a billionaire who usually cultivated well would be so outrageous that he could not control his emotions.

  He didn't want to listen anymore, said "That's it, Mr. Musk", and then quickly hung up the phone.

   Halfway through Musk's fire, the other party hung up, feeling extremely aggrieved. This made him firmer and he must kill Tesla.

  Xia Jingxing spread his hands to Straubel, "He is such a person, with an irritable temper. Perhaps he is very successful in business, but in life, he is not easy to get along with.

  His friends, Peter Thiel and Reid Hoffman all commented on him like this. "

  Straubel smiled, "These are not important anymore, are they?"

"Yes!"

  Xia Jingxing got up, smiled and fisted with Straubel.

  Opened the office door, Xia Jingxing and Straubel walked out talking and laughing.

  Eberhard and Tarpening looked at their eyes straight. What's the situation? Is this successfully retaining people?

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, “Straubel talked with me, and I still think Tesla is more suitable for him.

  So, the previous things have been turned over, and everyone should stop mentioning it. "

  The reason for saying this is that Xia Jingxing is worried that the two founders have prejudices against the employee, after all, they almost "betrayed the master".

  Compared with the Chinese, professional managers in Europe and the United States often change jobs.

  It is commonplace, and there is no ethics and cleanliness.

  And Straubel is a very rare technical talent for the company.

  So the two founders didn't do any "fool" behavior, but walked up very closely, patted Straubel on the shoulder, and smiles on their faces.

   After chatting for a few words, after dismissing Straubel, the two founders pestered Xia Jingxing to ask what happened.

   Entering the office, Xia Jingxing asked the two of them to close the door, making it mysterious.

  The two founders looked extremely expectant. They looked at Xia Jingxing curiously, waiting for each other to tell the story.

   "Convince people with virtue!"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "It's that simple."

  The two founders were speechless and didn't believe this at all.

  Xia Jingxing selectively told the two of them something, but did not say "Let Straubel be the CEO", after all, the current CEO was still sitting in front of him.

   "Let Tesla enter thousands of households!"

  "Put charging piles all over the world!"

   "Unmanned driving!"

  Three ideas, one is more exaggerated, and one is outrageous.

  But the two founders are still seriously thinking about the feasibility of the idea and the means of realization.

  Xia Jingxing did not conceal the two, because these ideas are not valuable. What really needs to be considered is how to implement these plans and whether there is money to implement them.

  Now the three are partners with common interests and goals, which is to make Tesla bigger and stronger.

   Taking advantage of the high mood of the two, Xia Jingxing had a brainstorming with the two, discussing some of Tesla's strategies, and we discussed various plans together.

  　 One update first, three changes later.
