After the episode, Elon Musk came to receive him in person. He originally wanted to treat him to a treat. Well, although he was an American, he didn't care about it at all, but Ye Hua asked to go to his factory.
Take a look inside, and of course Musk will not refuse. After leaving the airport, they went to the Tesla Super Factory in Commercial City.
The swarming media could only end there and watch them drive away.
However, the latest news has begun to spread rapidly on the Internet. There is no way to help it. The topic of Coastline Group is there. Although there are very few videos related to Ye Hua on the Internet, it cannot help that he is now a "super Internet celebrity".
Moreover, Elon Musk has become famous as an "old Internet celebrity".
It's hard not to be noticed by the outside world.
Tesla's Gigafactory in China is located on the Suitang River in Shangdu. This river is not wide, but spans the two districts along the arcuate coastline, stretching from Chuansha in the north to Fengxian in the south.
At the junction of the two districts, by the Suitang River, a modern super factory was built four years ago.
Tesla's Lingang factory in the commercial capital was built four years ago. This super factory, with an investment of up to 50 billion RMB, is also the first wholly foreign-owned automobile factory built by foreigners in China. From this, we can also see that China is now embracing the world.
Transformation means one day is better than the other.
After driving for more than 40 minutes, Ye Hua arrived at the intersection of Lianggang West Avenue and Zhengjia Road, and finally saw this modern automobile factory.
Four years ago, this place was still a land of mud, but now it has a strong atmosphere of modern factories. The American imperialists are clamoring for a return to manufacturing all the time. As a result, a large number of emerging industries have been forced to leave North America. It is estimated that Mr. President will
I was driven crazy.
A motorcade drove into the factory gate, and three security personnel wearing -security uniforms opened the intersection.
This super factory built in Shangdu is to produce model-3 electric vehicles and future new models for the Chinese market. After the factory is completed, the annual output can soar to 500,000 pure electric vehicles when it is fully operational.
In fact, this factory has been very topical since the early days of its construction. More importantly, this factory is the first wholly foreign-owned automobile factory after the restriction on the foreign shareholding ratio of new energy vehicles was lifted. This is a direct reflection of the current openness of the Chinese market to the outside world.
degree.
After getting off the car, Elon Musk personally led Ye Hua and his team to inspect the inside of the factory. Almost all the so-called business secrets that were not disclosed to others were open to the public without reservation.
After all, it depends on who you take to visit.
The cooperation with Coastline may be a milestone turning point for Tesla. As a business veteran, Elon Musk knows very well how important the cooperation with Ye Hua is.
Arriving at a production line of Model-3, Elon Musk danced with his body language and talked: "There has always been a voice in public opinion: because of appropriationism, it claims that Tesla's success is not glamorous enough."
The autopilot system is provided by Israel’s Mobileye, Japan’s Panasonic 18650 and 21700 batteries, STMicroelectronics’ integrated circuits, China’s Xinma induction motor and three-ring permanent magnet motor..."
"Precisely because a large number of Tesla's core components and central links are in the hands of suppliers, the picky party has criticized this, believing that Tesla lacks sufficient say in front of suppliers and its position appears passive."
At this point, Musk shrugged and added: "But what I'm curious about is, why are the new energy flagship models created by so many brands in the world threatening to compete with Tesla?"
Ye Hua smiled but nodded silently. The composition of each component of Tesla cars is obviously the result of participating in global supporting and international division of labor, and the purpose of Elon Musk's doing this is obviously to gain a foothold in Tesla electric cars.
Focusing on the world market instead of a certain regional market not only saves costs, but also makes it easier to enter the international market.
After all, if you, the American family, make money from cross-border trade, markets in other regions will definitely not be happy with it, and if they are not willing, it will create obstacles for you, which is tantamount to hindering the advancement of globalization.
This is similar to the idea of coastline.
"It's just that big trees attract wind, and good times don't last long." Elon Musk said with a sigh: "In the global environment of promoting electric vehicles, traditional car companies have super fast follow-up speed of new brands and a rich production chain that has accumulated more than a century.
, the supply chain experience not only scares the seemingly far-sighted start-up car companies here, but also scares not only the new car-making forces that have sprung up, but also my Tesla company."
Indeed, countries around the world have set their sights on the policy direction of the automotive industry, and traditional car giants are flocking to the new energy vehicle market. This has brought an end to Tesla's past dominance. It has met a real opponent. The key is...
Not one or two rivals.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the current new energy vehicle market, with the major traditional automobile giants following up and spending crazy money to play in real terms, this blue ocean market has quickly been dyed red and has become a
Red Sea.
There is no way, the traditional century-old car giants will not be able to do it if they do not follow up. Now the ban on the sale of fuel vehicles in various countries has been put on the agenda. If they do not follow up and play it seriously, even the century-old car giants will be unable to do so in the future.
People are interested in it, which eventually leads to its decline, and these traditional giants are frightened.
Ye Hua looked at him with a smile and said: "Mr. Musk, you think the tree is big and attracts the wind, but I think the tree is not big enough."
"agree."
Elon Musk also frankly agreed with this. Two minutes later, he finally took Ye Hua and others to another production line and entered the production workshop. Everyone saw that the scene was very busy, and the staff on site were still working hard.
At this time, Elon Musk pointed at this production line and said excitedly: "Mr.ye, I am very excited about building an electric model that most people can afford, and Tesla will also
By launching cheaper and more advanced models, taking Model 3 as an example, our goal is to make this model affordable to more than half of the people."
"But in the future fifth-generation, smaller models, our goal is to make this model affordable for everyone. For model 5, we have abandoned the system provided by mobileye and switched to expensive
The company's PHC vehicle system abandons the battery system and uses your company's wireless power transmission system, and also uses integrated circuits under the WSIO system, etc. Even the model is being improved," Musk added.
Coastline Company and Tesla have long cooperated, and Ye Hua also knows this. The two parties had already reached an in-depth partnership at the earlier Future Transportation Solutions Conference, which was the Autonomous Autonomous Driving Calibration Conference in the automotive industry.
The major core suppliers of model 5 models were established at that time, and are now being slightly improved.
After all, this model has not yet been put on sale, and recently the establishment of the "Life Ray" brand has revealed wireless power transmission technology. Elon Musk decisively transformed the Model 5 production line.
To put it simply, Model 5 can basically be the first pure electric vehicle in the world to use wireless power transmission. As long as the supply of the wireless power transmission system of Coastline Company is guaranteed, the wireless power transmission base station can be built, and at the same time it has unmanned automatic operation.
The model 5 powered by driving can be immediately promoted to the market for supply.
"When will model 5 be available for the market and what is the production capacity?" Ye Hua watched for a while and then asked Musk.
"There are two production lines for model 5. The transformation will be completed in three weeks. The weekly mass production can reach 4,500 vehicles. After being fully put into operation, the annual output can reach 700,000 vehicles. Of course, the premise is that Coastline Company will give priority to the production capacity to supply model 5 supporting equipment.
"Elon Musk said in great spirits.
"Mr. Musk, whether it is a PHC vehicle system or a wireless power transmission system, our company will definitely be able to meet your supply requirements. You only need to tell us the quantity and time limit of the purchase, ok!" An executive accompanying Ye Hua
Answer him immediately.
"That's great!"
Ye Hua turned around and looked around at the accompanying team members, and once again set his sights on Elon Musk, saying: "Then sign the contract and supply me with the goods as soon as possible."
