Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter 158 Move Apple to Silicon Valley?

I rewarded Jiageng for being so coquettish as the leader, and I still owe two more.

...

...

Silicon Valley is located in California, USA, and it can be regarded as the most important high-tech industrial area in the world.

There are world-renowned high-tech companies such as Google, Facebook, HP, Intel, Cisco, etc., and Tesla, whose goal is to manufacture high-tech cars, is naturally headquartered in Silicon Valley.

"Is this Silicon Valley?"

Contrary to what Wen Ming expected, Silicon Valley is actually not much different from high-tech industrial areas in other places. If there is one thing to say, the signboards on those buildings are more famous and valuable than companies in other places. .

"Yeah, this is Silicon Valley."

Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, specially took time out because of Wen Ming's arrival, and planned to act as a landlord to entertain Wen Ming.

"Well, are you interested in moving Apple to Silicon Valley?"

Many people from all walks of life in the United States are very puzzled by Wen Ming's headquarters in Boston after the rise of Apple. Because at present, Apple's headquarters is still a leased building, and it is not a whole leased building.

This is a bit too shabby for a world-renowned high-tech company.

Wen Ming smiled and said, "I do have this plan, but I just don't know if the nearby US government department will approve my plan."

Silicon Valley is very big. Originally, Mark Zuckerberg wanted to invite Wen Ming to visit Facebook first. After all, Wen Ming is also a shareholder of Facebook. But Wen Ming was really in a hurry, so he declined the proposal.

After receiving Wen Ming at the airport, Mark Zuckerberg boarded the bulletproof car that was flown over by air. And their goal is Tesla's headquarters in Palo Alto, Silicon Valley. In fact, Facebook's headquarters is not far from Tesla's headquarters.

Mark Zuckerberg asked curiously: "What plans do you have? Why are you worried about the government's disapproval? The city government of Palo Alto is supportive of high-tech companies entering Silicon Valley, and here Residents are also employees of nearby high-tech enterprises, even if you make any big moves, there will not be too many people protesting."

The headquarters of Apple's spaceship in another world was started much later than expected due to protests from local residents. The main appeal of the local residents' protest is that they are worried about traffic jams after Apple's spaceship headquarters is completed or during construction.

The final solution is that the local government alone opened a way for Apple to be able to start work smoothly.

Wen Ming smiled, took out his tablet directly, and then found the conceptual design of the spaceship headquarters.

Since he drew a simple design drawing, Sith and others arranged for people to start making conceptual design drawings. This does not need to find professionals from outside to do it, because Apple has no shortage of such professionals.

After Mark Zuckerberg took the tablet, he fell into a state of sluggishness.

"You're going to build this...donut?"

Wen Ming was embarrassed and said, "Why can't it be called a spaceship?"

It is because he is worried that others will say donuts, so Wen Ming's request for the concept design is to try to be more sci-fi, more like a spaceship.

I didn't expect...

Mark Zuckerberg has put away his sluggishness, and he is at the helm of a company with a valuation of 40 billion U.S. dollars. He smiled and said: "If you really do it, not only I will think so, but many people will think so." I think. I already foresee that when we talk about going to Apple in the future, we will only talk about going to donuts.”

Jian Wenming's face was awkward, Mark Zuckerberg began to look at the design parameters, but watching, the previous dull expression appeared on his face again.

"I finally understand why you are worried that the government department will not agree."

Mark Zuckerberg took a deep breath and said: "Not to mention anything else, it is very difficult to approve a land of only 2.8 million square feet. I think that even the Palo Alto city government has no power to decide. Report to the San Jose city government for approval."

As the founder and current helm of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg also knows something about architecture, because Facebook's headquarters is also expensive.

But after seeing Apple's donut headquarters design, Mark Zuckerberg knew what it meant to be expensive.

"I'd like to know, how much are you going to invest in this headquarters? Is 4 billion US dollars enough?"

Wen Ming shook his head with a smile, and said, "It is precisely because I am worried that the approval will not be approved, so my design concept is to use renewable resources for the entire headquarters. At present, the cost budget is 5 billion U.S. dollars."

"God!"

Mark Zuckerberg covered his face, called the boss of the Western world, and said: "It's still rich to make hardware. If you look at our revenue last year, even in ten years, we can't afford to build such a large investment. headquarters."

Revenue is not equal to pure profit, and there are other operating costs, so Facebook really can't afford it.

Wen Ming laughed and said, "If you go public, you can easily invest in this level of headquarters."

While the two were discussing Apple's new headquarters and how to pass government approval as soon as possible, the team had also arrived at Tesla's headquarters.

Compared with the concept map of the spaceship headquarters that I saw just now, Tesla's headquarters is undoubtedly much shabby.

Tesla's current CEO and some Tesla executives, as well as Cage, were waiting at the door.

Cage arrived nearly a week earlier than Wen Ming, not only because someone had to inform Tesla of the tasks that Wen Ming had given and supervise their completion, but also because Tesla needed someone Wen Ming could trust.

After more than half a year of training, Cage has been officially sent to Tesla by Wen Ming.

Ze'evdrori expressed a warm welcome to Wen Ming's arrival. He couldn't help but welcome it, because when Tesla was facing bankruptcy, it suddenly ushered in a large amount of capital injection. It's almost equivalent to having God come to his rescue when he's about to lose his job.

As for the boss changing from Elon Musk to Wen Ming, he doesn't mind even more. Although Wen Ming has never been to Silicon Valley before, his reputation in Silicon Valley far exceeds that of Elon Musk.

It doesn't matter that he became famous relatively late, the key is that Wen Ming's achievements are too great.

"Boss, you can call me Zev, or Droy."

Wen Ming was very satisfied with the attitude of Tesla's current CEO, so he kindly called his surname Zeff. The reason why he doesn't call him by his first name is because Zevdroy is a Jew, and his surname is Hebrew, the national language of the Jews.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wen Ming and others went to the R\u0026D room of Tesla headquarters.

Zeff introduced: "At present, the main problem we face is the gearbox problem, because our positioning for Tesla is to produce pure electric super sports cars, and our competitors should be Porsche's Panamera, The president of Maserati, etc., and even further, Ferrari."

"So, we have very high requirements for high-performance acceleration. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for electric vehicles to achieve this goal without multi-stage gearboxes. Because the power output efficiency of asynchronous motors is very low at low speeds. "

"In short, the start will be very slow. Compared with those sports cars that can accelerate to 100 kilometers in about 5 seconds, we can't compare with them, let alone Ferrari's level of supercars."

"However, how to do systematic research and development between high-voltage and high-power electronic control systems and gearbox coordination, so far there has been no successful case in the world."

After the introduction, Zev looked at Wen Ming sincerely, while the Tesla R\u0026D personnel who accompanied him all looked a little unhappy.

Not only because it was a job they hadn't completed, but also because they didn't think Wen Ming could understand the problems Zev introduced.

Just kidding, Elon Musk has a bachelor's degree in physics, and he also has a little knowledge of materials molecular science and applied science. There is no way to solve this problem. How can you understand these things if you are a computer player?

Mark Zuckerberg next to him was also confused. He didn't understand why Wen Ming cared so much about this kind of issue.

As a boss, shouldn't this kind of problem be concerned only with how much research funds are invested, and where to dig people? ) Download Free Reader!!
