When the spring wind, rain and dew meet, they win over countless others in the world.
After all, how to invest and whether to make a fortune are outsiders' business. There is a popular saying in China that blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents.
Even if he knew the final outcome of the p2p investment platform in advance, Gu Yun could not change what investors thought when they got there.
Wouldn't it be nice to have this time to discuss the origin of life with your beloved girl, talk about the feeling of being at the top of the sky, and try your best to optimize the experience of getting along?
Early the next morning, the workers' holiday came to an end, and the first working day after the holiday officially began.
Gu Yun set an alarm clock in advance and woke up Wen Jue who was sleeping next to him.
"What time is it...why are you getting up so early~?"
The hungover Wen Juxing's eyes were half-closed, not yet fully awake, and his tone was drowsy, like a cat that had just escaped from its owner's arms.
"It's not a working day anymore, so sleep well, your man is going out to make money."
Gu Yun smiled and pulled the corner of the air-conditioning quilt, covering Wen Jue's snow-white belly tightly.
"What time will you return?"
Wen Jue pursed her lips slightly, her lips slightly curved upward, forming a small arc.
"That's hard to say. Lao Ma called me from the United States and asked me, the major shareholder, to talk to the Shanghai government about cooperation and prepare to get a piece of land."
Gu Yun reluctantly lowered his head and left a kiss on Wen Jue's forehead.
Since joining Tesla, Gu Yun has basically not played any role in the development of the company except for investing money.
As a reborn person, he naturally believes that Musk has unique personal abilities in the world. He can be a hands-off shopkeeper and wait for high dividends every year while sitting and counting money, but the latter does not think so.
With the world's largest population and the status of the second largest economy, such a huge market cannot remain blank in the wave of globalization.
If Gu Yun, the major shareholder, doesn't make an effort at this time, when will he make an effort?
Musk couldn't sit still.
After repeated discussions with Gu Yun, the two finally reached an agreement that Tesla planned to establish its own factory and sales network in China.
This plan is not only to meet the domestic market demand for electric vehicles, but also plays an important role in reducing costs and improving delivery efficiency through local production and sales.
As for the negotiation process and method of entering China, Musk can only ask his major shareholder Gu Yun.
After all, Gu Yun is not only a rising young star in the domestic Internet industry, but his tiktok has also begun to become popular around the world.
If such an influential partner comes forward, it will be better than oneself.
In fact, Musk in another timeline did not successfully enter the domestic market this year.
Even though Tesla was already an upstart in Silicon Valley at this time, it successfully landed on the Nasdaq and quickly became the cool new favorite among the rich circles of Silicon Valley. As Musk became famous, he also accepted the title of "Iron Man".
But Musk, who was running rampant everywhere, hit a wall in Asia's largest country.
In the same year of 2014, he visited in person and made straightforward suggestions.
Let Tesla charging piles enter China, and give Tesla different tariffs from fuel vehicles to compete fairly with domestic car companies.
Faced with Musk's directness in negotiating terms, domestic leaders habitually resorted to a Chinese style of Tai Chi.
The person in charge at the time told Musk that China was considering tax reforms for new energy vehicles. For example, the import tariffs would be different from the import of traditional vehicles, but the specific details are still being formulated.
Before the reform is completed, new energy vehicles still need to pay the same 25% tariff as traditional fuel vehicles.
The meeting between the two parties ended in vain, and the only result was a group photo of the leaders in front of the welcoming pine landscape painting.
Musk, who returned to the United States, complained: “In China, we are like a crawling baby.”
But in fact, it is not that entertaining foreign friends is unenthusiastic, but that domestic leaders have their own anxieties.
This year, the domestic new energy automobile industry has been in crisis, and the fire of subsidy fraud has swept the entire industry.
Originally, we wanted to use subsidies as the first step to overtaking on corners, but some people in the industry who are good at speculation have realized: With so much money on the curves, what kind of car can we overtake?
Although domestic new energy subsidy policies started late, the subsidy methods are quite unrestrained.
After the central government makes up for it, the local governments will make up for it. Sell one car to make up for it. All the people will build cars. Build more and earn more.
It is said that two employees of a large OEM went to work as an electric vehicle modification company. The state subsidy for each vehicle was tens of thousands, and they earned hundreds of millions a year.
Fraudulent subsidy mainly includes several ways: counterfeit sales, false registration, and curve arbitrage.
An ordinary van chassis is transformed into an electric van by adding a few batteries and a power transmission, and the subsidy can be hundreds of thousands.
According to estimates leaked to reporters by industry insiders, a certain micro-electric vehicle manufacturer received at least 6 billion in state subsidies during the years when the policy was at its best.
From 2013 to the next few years, China's new energy vehicle industry will usher in a peak of subsidies. The total amount of subsidies can easily exceed 100 billion every year, which is almost as much as Huawei's income from selling mobile phones in a year.
The reason for this is clear to Gu Yun as an outsider standing on the timeline. It is not that officials are incompetent as rumored by the outside world.
The cost gap between new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles is huge in the early stage.
But if you want to promote industrial development and technological progress, the most reliable way is often subsidies that seem to be the least reliable.
In the first stage of subsidy policy, the task is always quantity over quality.
Objective laws often run counter to layman's views.
Without industry scale, it would be impossible for this industry to spawn a complete industrial chain, achieve continuous technological evolution, and have a say in the world.
Using real money to cultivate the market and create a track may lead to scams, but it is the most effective policy logic and philosophy.
Policymakers are not stupid either. In fact, after several years of indiscriminate subsidies, the clean-up began immediately.
Since 2016, huge financial subsidies have begun to decline and thresholds have been raised.
New subsidy standards were implemented in 2016, and for the first time there was a slight decline compared with the previous year.
The 2017 standards are even more so, further reducing subsidies for passenger cars and special vehicles.
When the scandal of cheating and backfilling occurred, traditional car companies had just begun to test the waters, and new car-making forces had only been established for a year or two.
The house has not been cleaned yet, how can I treat guests to dinner?
Regarding Tesla, which wants to enter the market at this time, the leaders have shown consistent and moderate wisdom: do not take the initiative, do not refuse, do not take responsibility, brake with silence, and wait and see what happens.
But Musk in another timeline is extremely anxious. For Tesla, the Chinese market is a piece of meat that must be captured.
Unfortunately, Tesla did not receive any real benefits in China during this period, and its first attempt to open China's door ended in failure.
It was not until a few years later in 2018 that Musk, who had repeatedly failed and fought repeatedly, officially obtained the entry permit and was finally deeply bound to the world's most powerful manufacturing kingdom.
"Mr. Gu, Happy New Year~"
At Hongqiao Airport, assistant He Xuan stood out among the crowds at the exit.
A well-tailored mid-length black Max Mara cashmere coat, a white silk shirt looming as an inner layer, and a pair of classic Jimmy Choo high heels under the slim suit pants.
She saw Gu Yun early in the morning, but her stride did not change much. The clicking sound came from far to near, and the overall sense of elegance hit her face.
"Everyone is enjoying their vacation, and you are the only one here to work. Are you going to complain about me in your heart?"
There was no one around, the assistant quietly took the boss's arm, and a gust of fragrant breeze came.
"How come? I wish I could work next to you every day."
As a personal assistant who often speaks on behalf of Gu Yun, He Xuan is already accustomed to using neutral eye shadows. Chanel's classic colors or Tom Ford eye shadow palettes are kept in her bag. Her clean and delicate eye makeup is ready for going out on the street at any time.
.
He Xuan turned her head to the side, staring at Gu Yun with her beautiful autumn eyes, and squeezed the man's arm tightly with one hand.
