Promised to invest in spaceflight with Elon · Musk. Li Mu suddenly had a deeper understanding of the middle-aged person in front of him.

Foreseeability is an invaluable skill of an entrepreneur, and the farther and more accurate the foresight, the more room for the entrepreneur ’s development.

Elon · Musk has seen the vast prospects of commercial satellite launches at least before 2002, which is beyond the ordinary people ’s imagination. Even now, most people dare not imagine, which enterprise will launch its own in the future Satellites, in most people ’s minds, satellites, like missiles, are super hardware that can be operated by national machines, but within a few years, a large number of the world ’s top 500 companies will develop their own satellites, and Find the most cost-effective launch service worldwide.

What Space-X sees is such a future market that is difficult for others to see.

The vision of Elon · Musk makes Li Mu feel better in this respect.

At this time, Elon · Musk was also didn't expect, and its own commercial aerospace plan was approved by Li Mu's, which is really not easy.

He once told many people about this idea, but it ’s a pity that almost everyone feels that there is a problem with their brains, and there is no one who recognizes it, let alone let them invest money. Now, Li Mu not only recognizes it His own thoughts, and willingness to invest a lot of money to support himself, this really gave him a touch of death for the soulmate.

Elon · Musk said with emotion: "Boss, it's not easy to meet someone like you. I have been looking for investors for Space-X for so long. No one but you is willing to invest a penny. , So much so that I have made a decision myself, and when PayPal ’s shares are cashed out, I will cash out immediately and then invest myself ... "

Li Mu smiled and said: "The reason why I am willing to invest is not because I am very optimistic about this project, mainly because I am very optimistic about you. I think that the most wise investment should not be seen in project investment, but should be Looking at people's investment, I think you are very developed, then I will vote for you. "

Speaking, Li Mu said again: "I voted for a few million USD at university at Harvard a few days ago. He has nothing, only a computer and an IDEA. He can succeed, just as I believe you can succeed. "

"Boss, thank you, you can trust me so much, this is really the biggest recognition for me!"

Elon · Musk was really touched by this young man who was ten years younger than himself. When he heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, and his eyes turned red unconsciously.

Sometimes, the entrepreneur who is committed to innovation is like a lonely boat traveling in a bitter sea. In this vast sea full of danger, he ca n’t see a person in the same direction as him. In this case, what he hopes most is to be able to meet with like-minded people, to relieve loneliness and reduce fear.

However, on this unusual route, it is difficult to meet like-minded people. Even if there are occasional crossovers, not only are they unwilling to lend a helping hand, but they will all laugh at their direction and laugh at themselves A flat boat's weakness can't help but wind.

Elon · Musk feels that he is like a solo rider in a flat boat. Li Mu is the owner of a huge fleet. Not only did he recognize his choice, he even picked one out of his fleet. The big ship was handed over to me and said to himself: "Go ahead with this big ship, I believe you can find the new continent you want!"

Seeing the eyes of Elon · Musk reddening, Li Mu knows how much its own strategy has achieved some results. Elon · Musk may not be as good as Mark · Zuckerberg in making money, but this person is really too bad In general, his although got the first pot of gold by internet, but he was unwilling to continue to develop in this industry and follow the rules of this industry. He chose two unprecedented roads, and it turned out that these two were not originally roads The road of his own was opened up into two Yangguan Avenues by himself, and such talents said that they should be surrounded by themselves.

So, Li Mu said to him: "Elon, I really appreciate your unique ideas and different thinking modes from other people. I now have a very sufficient amount of cash flow in my hands. If you still have Other ideas, even if it is just an idea that you are not sure of, as long as you want to do it, you can tell me, I will not hesitate to invest in you again, and at least the scale of more than 100 billion USD. "

Elon · Musk was completely stunned. The weight of Li Mu was too heavy, which made him feel more sublimated by the original Li Mu's.

Actually, the reason why Li Mu said this is that he wants to put the Tesla project out of his mouth.

Compared to Space-X, Li Mu wants his Tesla more.

Space-X is of course awesome, but its applicability is far less than that of Tesla. The awesome of Tesla is that they lead a new era. New energy vehicles are a new industry driven by Tesla, let ’s not talk about how much profit, Influence alone is not something ordinary projects can match.

Moreover, according to the previous Elon · Musk technical chain statement, the Tesla technical chain is more mature and the applicability of extension is stronger. In the impression of Li Mu, Tesla has several major directions in motors, battery management, unmanned driving, etc. All have a very strong technological accumulation, so that Toyota, the originator of hybrid cars, has also long-term purchased batteries and motors from Tesla.

Li Mu especially wanted to persuade their start-up team directly in the initial period of Tesla to use a large sum of money to get a large part of their shares, and then they took the money and they could do a quick start while doing R & D, while building a production line, the technical and industrial foundations are developing rapidly at the same time, then the development speed of Tesla will definitely greatly exceed the development speed of its previous life.

previous life, Tesla's biggest development constraint lies in the lack of production capacity and the lack of production lines and product lines. In the final analysis, it is because internet companies have no physical industry accumulation.

As far as Tesla is concerned, the company itself is not an automobile manufacturing company, but a research conducted by several geeks. When they were doing technology research and development, they did not have much money in their hands. Almost all the funds are spent on research and development, so there is no foundation in the industrial field. When they have a full set of technical patents, they will have to invest everywhere and build the factory building and production line one by one.

After more than ten years of development of Tesla, mass-produced models can be counted with one hand, and the production capacity is huge. The order is placed after N years. In this case, even if you want to speed up, it is very difficult, because every production line It is necessary to build a little bit from scratch, and the production capacity is also improved a little bit, and it is impossible to achieve it in one step.

In contrast, BYD, a company with a solid background, is much more efficient in making electric vehicles than Tesla. It is itself an extremely top battery manufacturer in the world, and has built cars for another ten years, not only battery technology, car technology There are also battery production lines and automobile production lines. When the two are put together, they can immediately create a variety of large numbers of electric vehicle products, so that BYD started to make electric vehicles, and it made a lot of models one after another, including pure Electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and even a variety of pure electric passenger cars, pure electric forklifts and trucks.

If you want Elon · Musk to upgrade the Tesla product line to the scale of BYD, it will take at least ten years or more for him to realize it, but how much market has been missed in this decade, but there is always a certain thinking People with abilities can think of it.

Like China and the Soviet Union during World War II, China had no industrial foundation at that time. In the face of strong enemies, it was impossible to make weapons if you wanted to make weapons. Even if you gave the complete set of technology of 99 main battle tanks to China In the military factory, they still can't build a tank car that can run up. The Tesla is a hand-developed routine. When the first tank was tested on the ground, World War II was estimated to have ended;

But the Soviet Union was completely different from the China at that time. They had a very strong industrial foundation. When the war was over, the turret was transported to the tractor factory that produced heavy crawler tractors, and tanks that could be put into war were immediately produced. The importance of industrial foundation.

So, in Li Mu's view, the industrial foundation is the most important issue in the development of Tesla. There is no one of them. If you can get Tesla projects, you must invest a lot of money in the initial period to build Tesla industry. Foundation, or simply purchase an enterprise manufacturing company directly in the world. If Tesla and BYD can be rubbed together, together with sufficient financial support, Li Mu believes that the spring of new energy vehicles can come early in the 2008 Olympics. !

At this time, Li Mu tentatively asked Elon · Musk: "If Elon, Silicon Valley have any good experimental projects, you can learn more. I am very interested in this aspect and can make some investments."

Li Mu previous life has always regarded Silicon Valley as a holy place in his heart. He knows Silicon Valley very well. Silicon Valley is not only a lot of internet companies, but also a lot of emerging technology companies looking at the future. Cisco is a super company bred from Silicon Valley, and so is Tesla.

However, at the beginning of the founding of these companies, most of them have to struggle for a long time to survive online. Due to their experimental colors, most of them are not even companies, just a few. Geeks got together to do some research, and Apple started this way in the same year.

Many similar small groups hold very interesting technology in their hands, but they ca n’t even get the valuation of millions of USD. It is difficult to fuse hundreds of thousands of USD. Moving forward, many even died directly on the road to entrepreneurship.

If you can dig out a few good projects at this time and invest one by one, it will surely be promising in the future.

Elon · Musk smiled slightly when he heard the Li Mu's problem, and said casually: "Sometimes ago, a friend came to me and a project wanted me to invest. He said that they assembled an electric car with a lot of laptop batteries , And the overall performance of the car is still very good, it sounds a bit interesting, but I have not yet met with them ... "

When Li Mu heard this, he was so excited that he almost shouted. The reason why he was so excited was because he knew that the project Elon · Musk said was the predecessor of Tesla!
