Chapter 287 Harsh Advice?

"Eron, I'm not your subordinate, you don't seem to have the right to interfere with my work."

Compared with the speed of turning his face, Yang Cheng is not weak at all. He smiled politely at Trula Riley, looked at Elon Musk and said lightly.

Elon frowned. It had been a long time since no one dared to challenge his authority, but he also understood that the person in front of him was not his employee and could be scolded by him.

"Your actions have caused loss of interest to Tesla and all shareholders. If you don't stop in time, I think we will only meet in court."

Yang Cheng leaned back in his chair, spread his hands and said, "Eron, you should be clear that for people like us, the court is not the best place to judge right and wrong, and all my actions are based on the principles of the financial market. I didn’t do a rat warehouse, and I didn’t maliciously sell or suppress it. I just guessed the bad news of Tesla.

"Are you not worried that I will protect the plate?"

"Hehe~ With all due respect, Elon, the funds in your hands are probably only enough for your daily expenses, which is not enough in the market at all, and you are good at technology research and development and industrial design. I am afraid that the financial market is in a muddy water. I can’t make it through.” Yang Cheng’s very sincere advice sounded extremely arrogant to outsiders, but Elon Musk knew that what Yang Cheng said was right.

But the person in front of him is Elon Musk. At the most difficult time, Tesla faced the four blows of shortage of funds, employee resignation, the US subprime mortgage crisis, and the world's enemies, so that he had a mental breakdown. But in the end, he survived, so why would he be afraid of this little setback in front of him.

"But don't forget that there are several Wall Street investment banks behind Tesla, and you can't resist their combined strength."

Yang Cheng nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but they didn't tell you, did they participate in Tesla's bear feast?"

"What?" Elon Musk exclaimed, and Trula Riley looked at her husband with worried eyes, pulled his arm, and signaled him to calm down.

Just at this time, the waiter came up with the appetizer, blocking Elon Musk's questioning.

"Waldorf Classic Salad with Iberico Ham" introduced the waiter.

When Yang Cheng heard it, his eyes lit up and he said to Trula Riley, "This Waldorf salad is a century-old classic salad. Trula, you are very knowledgeable."

The salad plate was placed in front of Trula Riley, and the fresh arrangement complemented the scenery of Central Park. The salad was matched with a variety of fresh vegetables, diced celery, bitter lettuce, soft diced potatoes and green apples Ding, etc., together with mayonnaise, it has a warm and refreshing taste. This salad is not only delicious, but also adds Spanish Iberian black pig ham to the classic taste, which instantly makes the tip of the tongue collide with salty Fragrant flavor.

Yang Cheng drooled looking at this appetizer salad, and regretted his carelessness when ordering. How could he forget this salad? When he saw Elon Musk's dead face again, he rolled his eyes and joked , "Elon, don't look at me like that, the delicious food on the table is much more attractive than me, talk while eating if you have anything to do."

After hearing this, Trula Riley burst out laughing, thanked Yang Cheng for her kindness, and pulled Elon to whisper a few words. Although she didn't hear what was said, she could probably guess it. Talk about things slowly.

Yang Cheng's dishes haven't been served yet, so he can only drink non-alcoholic peach liqueur to satisfy his hunger. This wine is very suitable for girls. It is made of peach fruit juice and French sparkling wine. The crystal clear wine glass reveals the aroma of peach The jade liquid, after drinking it, has a refreshing feeling that penetrates the heart and spleen, and the more you drink, the hungrier you become.

Fortunately, the chef didn't make him wait any longer, and the small cube of bread wrapped in a napkin was served on the table. Before he opened the napkin, the aroma rushed into his nostrils

Uncover the napkin, the bread skin is toasted golden, use a fork to dip a piece of truffle honey cheese sauce, it is extremely crispy, the cheese sauce is cold and sour and sweet and the unique aroma of truffles is perfectly combined, eating it has a kind of soul out of body Feel.

The crispy seafood clear soup that followed, and the original T-bone steak as the main course made Yang Cheng's lunch extremely satisfying. He felt that the chefs at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel had improved recently, and of course it might be Since I haven't eaten it for a long time, I feel that the 'familiar' taste is particularly fresh.

Finally, it ends with a French Mango Napoleon, an exquisite dessert like the bustling Fifth Avenue. The baked meringue turns into a crispy millefeuille, paired with fresh diced mango and the finishing touch of passion fruit sauce. It can be said to be the best combination of crispy, sweet and sour, and it is full of sweet happiness after eating.

During the dinner, Musk was able to suppress his anger, maintained table manners, and did not discuss business affairs. Now that the dessert was almost finished, he couldn't help asking, "Jason, what are you talking about?" Really? Shareholders of my company also participated in this short sale? This is a crime!"

Yang Cheng scolded ten thousand words of MMP in her heart, but she couldn't say it out. Who knows if it's true? He just said that casually just now, but the truth is inseparable. Does Yang Cheng not know what kind of piss the grandsons of Wall Street are? As long as there is an opportunity to make money, does it matter if it is a company in which you have a share? But Yang Cheng didn't have any evidence to prove it. He would be sued for talking nonsense. He's not stupid, so of course he couldn't confirm it.

"Ahem ~ Elon, this is not the point. You should find a way to increase Tesla's production and solve the source problem. The rise of the stock is the general trend, and the general trend is irreversible. Others have no chance to take advantage of the loopholes. Are you right?" Yang Cheng Now it's talking nonsense with open eyes. He has finished talking about the pros and cons. Thanks to Elon Musk's IQ has been used in research and development technology. She blinked at Yang Cheng cryptically, which meant that she had seen through Yang Cheng's tricks.

"Damn it, I also want to increase production capacity, but the Fremont factory doesn't have any extra space." Musk scratched his hair, looking very frustrated, this lunatic was lost in thought, how can he care about his image, this is Walter Astoria Hotel, have you ever seen anyone appear here with a messy head?

As for Musk's statement that there is no space in the Fremont factory, Yang Cheng could only say hehehe. Since he wants to make money from Tesla, he naturally did some research.

You must know that the predecessor of the Fremont factory was the old factory site jointly operated by General Motors and Toyota on the edge of Silicon Valley. It was built 30 years ago and covers an area of ​​about 511,000 square meters. At that time, Toyota hoped to learn the operating philosophy in the United States through cooperation. , while GM hopes to obtain the "secret" of lean production from Toyota. The test field opened up by the two auto giants with different ideas, according to the design at the time, can fully meet the annual production capacity of 500,000 vehicles under full-load operation. The goal, this is because the various instruments of the production line were not precise enough and the area was too large.

However, when most of the current automobile production lines are robots participating and the number of workers is greatly reduced, how much does Tesla use compared to the production capacity in the design? Less than one-tenth!

Musk actually said that there is not enough space? It's really burning newspapers on the grave - no ghosts believe it!

God knows what kind of crazy invention experiment Musk, a lunatic, is doing in Tesla.

Yang Cheng took a sip of lemon and kumquat juice to suppress the dirty work that was about to spew out, and after silently saying "I want to calm down and not get angry" a dozen times, he asked, "Elon, first of all, I want to emphasize that I don't understand technology, and I don't know how to do it." I don’t know how to make cars, but I know that the foundation of a company’s long-term prosperity still depends on profitability. In fact, since Tesla’s birth, Wall Street, which has always been controversial, has a rare view on Tesla. reached an agreement.”

He stopped on purpose, kept a secret, and waited for Musk to ask eagerly, "What do you think?"

Cai Youyou said, "Scale! If Tesla wants to become a century-old car company like General Motors, it must expand its scale instead of focusing on researching high-tech. Tesla's gimmicks are enough, and consumers' appetites are not enough. The adjustment is high enough, and the rest will depend on time to digest and stabilize Tesla's reputation. Before that, the blind research and development of new technologies has made consumers invisible, and sooner or later consumers will be exhausted. The last trace of patience, who will pay for Tesla's high R&D expenses?

Even a layman like me knows that building a car is an extremely intensive job. A car consists of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of parts, involving hundreds of upstream and downstream enterprises. To complete the chain, it is necessary to cooperate with other parts giants. This is the simplest buying and selling problem. Can the order price of tens of thousands of parts be the same as that of hundreds of thousands of parts?

Reducing costs, slowing down the speed of research and development, expanding production scale, and allowing more Tesla cars to appear on the roads of various countries around the world are the success of Tesla. When Tesla no longer makes employees panic because of losses , when shareholders no longer worry about whether to hold stocks for a long time, you will have enough capital and confidence to realize your great and unattainable dreams. Before that, you were just the chairman and CEO of Tesla. , that's all. "

Although Yang Cheng's remarks are not enlightening, they can be regarded as sharply pointing out Tesla's shortcomings, leaving an indelible impression on Musk's heart.

The reason why he wasted his tongue and said these thankless words was not because of the heart of the Virgin Mary. Yang Cheng absolutely disdained to do things that could not make him profitable.

Don't forget what Yuan Shan did to start his business? real estate!

What does the real estate agent have? Land!

What else can the land do besides build a building? sell!

It just so happens that Yuanshan Capital has a piece of land in its hands. It is not far from San Francisco in California, but it is not close. The land has been abandoned for many years for some reasons. Because it is far away from the urban area, it is not conducive to the development of residential areas or commercial real estate. Just now Yang Cheng suddenly had an idea and found the most suitable buyer for this land, which is Tesla.

But if you want to sell land, you have to fool Elon Musk first, so that he has the idea of ​​buying land to expand, right?
