Chapter 1681 (1/2)

After talking with Li Mu, Schwarzenegger can't wait to cooperate with him after taking office.

He is looking forward to great changes under his administration, such as GDP growth, fiscal deficit reduction, unemployment rate reduction, and the promotion of foreign trade, finance and tourism.

Before talking to Li Mu in detail, although he was full of ambition, he didn't have strong confidence, but now it's different. He feels that everything is close at hand.

Li Mu slept in Schwarzenegger's house all night, and the next day, his inauguration in Sacramento.

The inauguration ceremony was held in Sacramento state government. According to the media, it was the most concerned inauguration ceremony of the governor of the United States in the past 50 years. More than 100 Hollywood stars and entrepreneurs from California attended the ceremony. It is said that even Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft based in Seattle, also attended the ceremony.

There are even media headlines that say it's an Oscar in California politics. For a time, people all over the country focused on Sacramento, a small city.

Unlike Schwarzenegger who went to the state government to prepare for his inauguration in the early morning, Li Mu didn't leave Schwarzenegger's villa in Sacramento until noon, as did the Celine Dion and his wife, who lived in the same villa.

Schwarzenegger's wife stayed to entertain the guests at home. In the afternoon, she and Li Mu, Celine Dion and other guests went to the state government to attend the evening inauguration ceremony.

Few people know that Li Mu is in Schwarzenegger's house. Elon Musk is one of them.

In fact, Li Mu informed him in advance to find himself in Schwarzenegger's villa.

Li Mu wants to know about Tesla's progress.

In order to take out the product online in Huaxia, Li Mu specially asked Tesla's team in charge of battery research and development to come up with a set of lithium battery design suitable for electric vehicles. For the real strength of the team, this demand can only be regarded as a dimension reduction application, so a complete design scheme was given soon.

Although the concept of new energy is still many years away from the global popularization, Li Mu still has great hope and attention to Tesla. This is not to make money by selling electric cars in the future. More importantly, he looks at the long-term accumulation of new energy vehicles in the development.

Enterprises like Tesla have been studying electric vehicles since the beginning of the 21st century, and almost from scratch. They first study batteries, then study battery management, then study electric motors, research electric controls, research kinetic energy recovery and automatic driving. Only with such a strong accumulation, can they survive in new energy vehicles.

In contrast, those auto brands that entered the new energy field only after 2015 because of subsidies, Tesla is like a school bully who has been studying hard all the way from kindergarten to doctor's degree, while those halfway home enterprises are like a semi illiterate who suddenly got a diploma from pheasant university.

Those enterprises in the future will take a car rack, dismantle the fuel engine, gearbox and oil tank, then put a pile of lead-acid batteries in it, and install a common electric motor, which can basically be taken out for sale. In Li Mu's opinion, such a car is no different from the old electric car.

The reason why he wants to invest in Tesla now is that he hopes to accumulate a whole set of technical solutions for new energy vehicles in advance, so as to ensure that he can lead the industry for at least five to ten years.

Toyota's advantage in hybrid power has never been broken by other car companies. The big reason is not how difficult Toyota's technology is, but that Toyota has long established a super defense line composed of a large number of patents around hybrid technology.

Under the condition that Toyota holds a large number of hybrid technology patents, almost no enterprise can achieve a set of hybrid technology that can be compared with Toyota without touching the Toyota patent group.

What Li Mu wants to pursue in Tesla is such a patent barrier.

In the last life, Elon Musk has successfully built such a patent barrier on Tesla. But his friend announced that he would open all the patents and was praised for his generosity. However, Li Mu felt that Elon Musk had to do it.

Li Mu always thought that the most failure of Tesla was that it had been ”building cars in the cloud” for several years before its development. The so-called ”building cars in the cloud” simply means that it can't be built and can only be thought of.

Elon Musk didn't understand the principle of keeping low profile. The ancient Chinese ancestors said that digging deep, accumulating grain and slowly becoming king were absolutely warning words for Tesla.

When Tesla just dug two holes and didn't save a few grains, it showed that it was forced to dominate. The concept products came out too early, and the follow-up of mass production was too slow. This gap gave fuel automobile manufacturers time to play games with Tesla.

It's like a declaration of war between the two countries. Ten years ago, the war was waged against each other. Ten years later, the army has not been assembled. The other side has long been waiting for you. Even if you don't fight him, he will fight you.

At the beginning, Tesla was on the opposite side of the whole traditional automobile industry. How much pressure and difficulty can we imagine.

Therefore, Li Mu thinks that Elon Musk's patent disclosure in his last life should not be really generous, but actively disperse pressure, attract allies, or even tempt traditional automobile manufacturers to turn back.After all, the special situation of new energy vehicles means that only by lowering the threshold for other enterprises to build new energy vehicles at that time can the new energy field thrive. All kinds of new energy vehicles are constantly coming out, countries are paying more attention to new energy, all new energy manufacturers are together to promote new energy and promote new energy. If not, we can also build charging piles together.

Otherwise, if Tesla is the only new energy vehicle manufacturer on the market, giving him 20 years' time, it may not be able to solve the problem of building charging piles in the first tier cities of developed and developing countries.
