My Age of Investment

"What? Did the car blow up?"

Xia Jingxing received a call from Eberhard and hurried to the scene of the incident.

When he arrived at Tesla's factory, he just parked the car, and when he got out of the car, he saw Tarpenning and Eberhard.

The faces of these two were ashen, and when they saw Xia Jingxing coming, they hurried up.

Xia Jingxing was not in the mood to shake hands with the two of them, and while walking inside, he asked what happened.

"The thing is, we always thought that the battery technology was very mature, but who would have thought that when we built the second prototype car, we found a huge flaw.

At that time, the car blew up suddenly during the test..."

Eberhard briefly described to Xia Jingxing the cause of the explosion, the process, and the result.

When the incident happened suddenly, Xia Jingxing hurried over when he heard the car explode, and didn't have time to ask about the specific situation.

After listening to Eberhard's words, Xia Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it would be good if no one died, it was a fortune among misfortunes.

Although no employees died, there were still employees who were injured. It was Straubel who Musk wanted to poach before.

Xia Jingxing was concerned about the employee's injury and asked Eberhard, "Straubel was injured? Is it serious?"

Eberhard replied, "It's not serious. At that time, Straubel rushed forward with a fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Suddenly, an explosive fragment flew out and hit Straubel's arm. His arm was scratched. A hole was made, and a lot of blood was shed..."

Xia Jingxing nodded, knowing that the employee had been sent to the hospital to be bandaged, and did not ask any further questions.

Walking into the factory building, Xia Jingxing saw the Roadster that was burnt to black at a glance.

The fire has been put out, but you can still see the mess on the ground, surrounded by debris and debris left by various battery explosions and fires.

A group of employees stopped their work and stood around the wreckage of the car, staring at the group of sports cars that had been blown up to scrap metal, wondering what they were thinking.

Xia Jingxing thought that this would not work, if all the employees were frightened, how would they work in the future.

"guys,

You seem to be frightened by the big fireworks just now? "

Hearing Xia Jingxing's words, everyone turned their attention to him.

Xia Jingxing looked at this pair of eyes, everyone's eyes were very complicated, there was fear, fear, confusion, and regret.

Xia Jingxing looked at the employees who were like eggplants beaten by Shuang, pointed at the wreckage of the car, and said in a loud voice, "This is just a failure!

On the road to success, this kind of failure may be more than once.

Electric sports car, what an awesome concept it sounds.

But whoever did it knows, it's a very tough task.

Succeed, your name may be heard all over the world, and Tesla will be among the first-class technology companies.

But before that, there may be so many explosions.

If any of you want to quit because of fear, because of cowardice, you can say it in advance.

Because this adventure has just begun, people without a big heart will not last until the end. "

As Xia Jingxing spoke, he was looking at the expressions of these people.

Sure enough, after a few injections of chicken blood, many employees looked much better.

Xia Jingxing continued, "When you chose to join Tesla, everyone had their own ideas. Now I want to ask everyone, why did you join Tesla?"

He looked at Gene and asked, "Gene, you speak first!"

When Gene heard Xia Jingxing call his name first, he said excitedly, "In my opinion, this is the coolest job, no one.

My biggest dream is to watch Tesla be born in my hands. "

Seeing the mocking glances from colleagues around him, Gene realized that he had said the wrong thing. How could he steal the boss's lines?

So he immediately changed his words: "Actually, I just want to screw a screw for Tesla.

In the future, when you see a Tesla speeding by on the road, you can brag to your friends: If you see it, it's a Tesla, and I screwed a screw for it. "

"Hahaha~"

There were bursts of friendly laughter from the surrounding colleagues.

Gene's dream is not great at all, it can even be said to be very simple.

But many, like Gene, came for the Tesla electric sports car.

Xia Jingxing looked at David again and asked, "David, how about you?"

David is older and more sophisticated in language.

He said solemnly: "I worked in Silicon Valley for ten years before, and I was tired of office life.

When I heard that a company called Tesla was planning to build cars in Silicon Valley, I immediately became interested. This is the life I want. "

Xia Jingxing familiarly named every engineer and asked them to talk about their original intention of joining Tesla.

Not a single person opted in because of the money.

Because Tesla wages are low, below the Silicon Valley average.

Everyone loves the passion and creativity that comes with loving the job and chooses to join.

When everyone had finished speaking, Xia Jingxing looked at the two founders and asked them to talk about their original intentions for starting Tesla.

Finally, Xia Jingxing also explained to all employees the reasons for his investment in Tesla.

Of course, it's not for making money. To make money is too unforced.

Xia Jingxing talked a lot about environmental protection, saying that he hopes Tesla can lead the trend of new energy vehicles, completely eliminate fuel vehicles, and reduce carbon emissions.

After all this was done, the employees slowly put down their concerns and worries, and rekindled their fighting spirit.

Just then, an employee accompanied Straubel into the factory building.

"Crash~"

Suddenly, there was applause from the crowd, and it was sent to Straubel, the fire fighting hero.

Straubel's hands were bandaged and he watched it all with a smile.

Xia Jing walked forward, patted Straubel on the shoulder, and praised: "Well done, if it weren't for you, I might not know what it would be like.

Maybe a lot of people will be injured, maybe the factory building will be burned down. "

Straubel shook his head with a smile, "It's not that exaggerated, it's not a serious explosion, it's just that the small flames burn more vigorously.

I took a fire extinguisher and put out the fire with a few sprays.

I was closest to the fire extinguisher at the time, so my first reaction was to put out the fire quickly.

If I don't put out the fire, others will soon put out the fire. "

"Anyway, your reaction and performance this time is this!"

Xia Jingxing gave a thumbs up.

Straubel smiled, no more modesty.

"How's the injury? Is it okay?"

Xia Jingxing pointed to the bandage on the other's arm and asked.

Straubel understatement? "It just broke a little bit of skin and took a few stitches. It's not a big problem, and it should be able to recover soon."

Xia Jingxing nodded, called the two founders, and Straubel, and went to the office in the next office building together to prepare for a meeting.
