When the first ray of sunshine in the morning broke into the cabin in the forest, Gu Yun found that the girl beside him had already left his arms.
He walked to the handrail of the stairs and looked down. Cheng Yingying had already changed her clothes and was preparing breakfast.
Arriving at the long dining table in the living room, Mr. Wang and You Mei looked at them with amusement in their eyes.
"Are we leaving for Los Angeles today?"
In front of the battle-hardened Prince Wang, the fact that he secretly ate his little assistant must not be hidden. Gu Yun kept his face straight and quickly broke the silence.
"Yes, we'll leave soon. Los Angeles is my favorite city. I go there every year for work and vacation."
He doesn't like big cities like New York because they are just as crowded and snobbish as Beijing, but the layout of Los Angeles is different. It has both top-end mansion areas like Beverly Hills and wandering entertainers' paradises like Venice Beach, which is loose yet loose.
Exquisite.
"You like going there so much? What's so good about Los Angeles?"
Gu Yun drank up the milk in front of him in one breath, and was a little curious about why Mr. Wang traveled so many times a year and was so obsessed with Los Angeles.
"The City of Angels is really loved by God. The sunshine is bright and the temperature difference in a day is like the four seasons. People in Los Angeles are very friendly and don't care about other people's opinions. Chinese people just care too much about other people's opinions so they live a tight life.
I like to go to places with lots of contrast.”
"The sunshine and beaches there belong to everyone, so ordinary people and rich people can have a good time in Los Angeles. I especially enjoy the feeling of being in a daze on the beach, because I usually have a thousand things in my mind, and I really need to be in a daze.
Already."
"Also, I think convertibles should have been invented for the city of Los Angeles. Driving convertibles elsewhere is really stupid."
After the group set off to board the plane, Wang Gongzi was still explaining to Gu Yun the charm of the city of Los Angeles.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Prince Wang directly arranged for everyone to move into his top-notch mansion in Beverly Hills.
Gu Yun had heard in his previous life that there was a saying in the arrogant Beverly Hills: Don't ask the price when buying things here. If you ask, it means you can't afford it.
Wilshire Avenue, the main street in Beverly Hills, is where banks and commercial buildings are located. There are countless top-notch department stores on this street. The nearby Beverly Shopping Center is also a favorite of many celebrities.
The Beverly Center is located at the foot of Beverly Hills. The Beverly Center in the most prosperous area of West Hollywood is the best place to buy seasonal luxury goods. Brands include first-class luxury goods such as LV, Gucci, Prada, Hermes, and Fendi.
"The most special thing about living here is that there are many people who can only be seen on TV running in the villa."
After putting away his luggage, Mr. Wang smiled and introduced to Gu Yun the mansion his family had purchased a few years ago.
Beverly Hills is a dream place in the minds of the world's richest people. As the most famous city-within-a-city in Los Angeles, it has the world's most high-end commercial streets and many mansions of Hollywood movie stars. It is also the center of the world's film industry.
Holy place.
After walking around this truly world-class mansion from the inside out, Gu Yun's eyes were really opened.
The entire residential area is really clean, and the houses are far apart.
The streets were filled with Bentleys and other luxury cars. Prince Wang drove out a convertible Rolls-Royce Dawn from the garage, which corresponded to his previous comments about Los Angeles.
"What the hell? What kind of car is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
On the way out of the villa, Rolls-Royce drove past a Model S. This new energy luxury coupe was only released at the end of June and has not caused much splash in China.
At this time, the prince naturally did not understand the meaning behind the T letter. He was just curious that there was a luxury car that he did not recognize?
"This is a Tesla Model S, an electric car."
Gu Yun looked at the first-generation Tesla driving past him, and suddenly felt nostalgic.
In my previous life, I decisively bought a Model 3 when its price dropped to more than 200,000 yuan. There were frequent traffic jams in Jiangcheng, and the daily commuting expenses for fuel vehicles were really high.
"Something."
Prince Wang didn't take it seriously and continued driving out.
Along the way, Gu Yun had no intention of playing for the first time, and was only thinking about how to invest in Tesla.
It is certainly unwise to buy U.S. stocks directly from securities exchanges.
According to the "Measures for the Administration of Acquisitions of Listed Companies": after the shares owned by investors and persons acting in concert reach 5% of the issued shares of a listed company, they must raise a line, and every 5% increase in the future must be announced.
That is to say, when you hold 5%, you have to reveal your true colors to the outside world. This will definitely drive up the stock price, because many people know that investors are eyeing this stock.
As its sister company SolarCity's listing at the end of the year attracts the attention of investors, Tesla will gradually start to make efforts starting in 2013.
After Tesla announced its first profit in the first quarter, it became a blockbuster and became the focus of global attention.
Then, the stock price never looked back and disappeared.
This moment is the best time for Gu Yun to take action.
Looking back on Tesla's development history, Tesla in September was not able to make timely payments, had limited production capacity, and was struggling.
In October 2012, Tesla received a $10 million special grant from the California Energy Commission to produce the Tesla Model X SUV and further expand its Fremont factory.
Gu Yun felt that he could not wait any longer.
While shopping, Gu Yun and Mr. Wang revealed their intention to invest in Tesla.
"Would you like to vote a little?"
"Forget it, I'm not interested in electric cars. I'll send you over there and you can talk among yourselves. Sister Mei and I will go out for a walk."
Prince Wang is not very interested. On the one hand, his interest is in the country, but on the other hand, the funds at his disposal are far less than Gu Yun.
He stopped the car near the Bay Area, where Tesla was conducting test drives. Wherever the electric car went, it attracted a crowd of people watching. The scene was like someone waving an iPhone 4 in front of an Apple store in Japan.
Same.
Gu Yun led Cheng Yingying into the Tesla company. After being guided and explained his purpose, he finally met Tesla's actual controller, Elon Musk.
In 2012, Musk was not the Twitter maniac he would become in later generations. He looked more modest and gentle, with a smile on his face.
The two chatted and found out that Musk had recently been seeking investment to expand production capacity and was also popularizing some basic concepts of new energy vehicles to Gu Yun.
He told Gu Yun that Tesla has made great breakthroughs in the management technology of lithium battery packs.
Gu Yun actually didn't know anything. Not only did they chat back and forth, but he also asked: "Has the supporting high-speed charging technology started to be developed?"
Musk was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Gu Yun and translated into almost ten words: "There is something about this foreigner."
