My Age of Investment

During his one-week stay at Tesla, Xia Jingxing not only talked to the two founders about the future development direction, but also spent more time in Tesla's factory, chatting with various engineer groups about work and technology.

Although he is half-baked in automotive engineering and electrical engineering, this does not prevent him from studying.

Do a line, naturally have to love a line.

It is absolutely impossible to have no understanding of cars and motors, and is not a qualified company chairman.

The tzero sold to him by ac drives was also sent by the other party and parked at the door of Tesla's factory.

Xia Jingxing had more than 200,000 US dollars left in the last time he sold Amico stock, plus the tens of thousands of US dollars he had left before, he paid 220,000 US dollars to buy this car, and all of a sudden he spent seventy-seven-eighty-eight dollars in cash.

The car was deposited at the gate of the Tesla factory, which naturally attracted a group of employees to watch.

Gene squatted on the ground, stroking tzero's bright yellow body like a lover, with gentle movements, for fear of breaking it.

Xia Jingxing saw goosebumps coming up, threw the key to him, and said cheerfully, "If you want to experience it, just drive by yourself, don't drive too far. Also, remember to fully charge me."

"Daren, you are so generous, you are definitely the most conscientious boss in the entire Silicon Valley!"

Gene screamed excitedly and exclaimed to Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "Okay, let's go for a ride! Drive slowly, don't blow up the skirts of the ladies on the road."

Gene couldn't stop laughing, and greeted his companion David to get into the car, started the car, and rushed out like a yellow arrow, leaving a handsome back, which made the remaining dozen engineers envious.

"Don't worry everyone, when they have experienced it, you all have a test drive.

Want to build an electric sports car, but have never touched an electric sports car, how can this be possible? "

Xia Jingxing said such words to the remaining employees.

All the employees immediately smiled and praised the "good boss" again.

Xia Jingxing got rid of the crowd and walked to the next office building.

In Tesla's office, Xia Jingxing met with Tarpenning and Eberhard.

Today is the last day Musk gives them consideration.

In front of the two, Xia Jingxing called Musk.

"Mr. Musk, good morning!"

Musk smiled and said, "Daren, the weather is nice today, would you like to come out for a drink?"

Xia Jingxing could hear the goodwill released by the other party, but he was afraid that he would not be able to drink this wine.

"Mr. Musk, let's drink another day! I'm here to let you know today.

If you are willing to wait for the Tesla prototype to be built and participate in our Series B financing, we are welcome. "

Musk's voice cooled, "So, you are planning to reject my suggestion."

Xia Jingxing heard Musk's displeasure, and said calmly, "After unanimous discussion, we decided not to open financing for the time being."

"Okay! It seems that we can only be rivals! Well, let's do it!"

Musk didn't want to talk more and hung up the phone directly.

Putting down the phone, Xia Jingxing spread out his hands, "Gentlemen, you have also heard, this is the situation now."

Tarpenning leaned on the sofa in the office and shrugged casually,

"It doesn't matter, as long as Tesla develops well, there will be competitors sooner or later."

Eberhard also abandoned all illusions, and said calmly: "Then we have to speed up the progress!"

"In half a year, build a prototype car for me, and I will invest another 10 million US dollars!"

Xia Jingxing didn't talk much, and directly threw out the "money temptation".

really!

Tarpenning's eyes lit up. He was very eager for money, mainly from the perspective of the company, worried that there would be problems with the company's capital chain.

Xia Jingxing's words were more reliable than any other encouragement.

Eberhard nodded and smiled, "Daren, don't worry, Tesla will never let you down."

March.

Xia Jingxing was lying on the sofa in the rental room, with his legs on the coffee table, nibbling on apples, watching TV, his days were extremely leisurely.

"Daren, it's time to eat!"

Yang Niu walked out of the kitchen, took off her apron, and greeted Xia Jingxing.

"Oh, well, come right away!"

Xia Jingxing put on his shoes, ate the apples in two or three, and came to the dining table to sit down.

Chicken chops, steak, pizza, fries, burgers, pasta, mashed potatoes…

Looking at the table full of dishes, Xia Jingxing gave Yang Niu a thumbs up, "There are very few Americans who can cook like you."

"Haha, I learned to cook with my mother since I was a child. She is a master of cooking."

Yang Niu glanced around, "Hey, where's the puppy?"

"I haven't gotten up yet, maybe I watched a movie too late last night."

As Xia Jingxing spoke, he grabbed a hamburger and ate it.

"He's still sleeping on such a rare weekend? No, I'm going to wake him up!"

After saying that, Yang Niu rushed to knock on the door.

Xia Jingxing started eating on his own.

After moving out of school, the three of them rented a three-bedroom house in Silicon Valley, and the three of them lived in one room each, or lived together.

But apart from coming back to sleep every day, he seldom eats in this rental house.

Start-up companies are too busy, leaving early and returning late, they basically eat three meals a day in the company.

Today is the weekend, and the three of them gave themselves a day off.

He got up early, accompanied Yang Niu to the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables, and then Yang Niu went to the kitchen to cook, while he watched TV while the puppy hadn't gotten up yet.

When the puppy heard the knock on the door, he opened the door sleepily, and when he saw it was a foreign girl, he asked what time it was while yawning.

"It's already noon. It's lunch time. Little dog, go wash up!"

Looking at the puppy with bloodshot eyes and disheveled hair, Yang Niu said with a bit of disgust.

The puppy went to wash up, while the foreign girl went back to the living room and chatted with Xia Jingxing while eating.

"Recently, the company's development has also entered the right track. Do you and the puppy want to visit my ranch?"

Yang Niu glanced at Xia Jingxing and said with a smile, "I haven't been back for more than half a year."

Before Xia Jingxing could speak, the puppy with a mouth full of toothpaste foam rushed out of the bathroom with a toothbrush.

"Go to the ranch? When will you go?"

Yang Niu laughed when she saw the funny look of the puppy, "You can do it anytime!"

"Go and brush your teeth!"

Xia Jingxing became angry when he saw Xiao Dog, a dead otaku, he hadn't even slept in, and Gou Yue's dog slept until noon.

The puppy returned to the bathroom with a smile.

After a while, the puppy came out refreshed and joined the discussion of the ranch tour.
