Vol 6 Chapter 164: Celebration Banquet (Part 2)

() "The house is great, it is great, mainly the place, the place is very well chosen," Schwarzenegger praised again before sitting down.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping waved to the side, and a waiter immediately brought two glasses of wine.

Mr. Governor sat on the chair with his legs crossed, watching more and more people walking among the flowers downstairs, and said to his heart that the Chinese still like the new house.

"I've been to China twice. It's really a very beautiful country. I like it very much." He took out his cigar and motioned to Feng Yiping.

Feng Yiping waved his hand, "I also like it very much. Welcome your next visit. By then, I am honored that you will be a guest at our company."

"I will definitely go, yes, in two months, I will go to China again," Schwarzenegger said immediately.

"Special Olympics?" Feng Yiping asked.

In October, the 12th World Summer Special Olympics Games will be held on the banks of the Huangpu River and Suzhou River. This is the first time the World Summer Special Olympics Games have been held in Asia and in a developing country.

As the son-in-law, star, and governor of the U.S. governor of the Special Olympics family, he naturally has to join in.

"Yes," Schwarzenegger put the cigar back in his pocket, and since Feng Yiping didn't want to try, he didn't smoke it himself, "I have always been a volunteer for the Special Olympics."

Then he laughed at himself, "There is no choice, right?"

"Haha," Feng Yiping also smiled. For Schwarzenegger, there really is no choice.

"You know what Feng," Schwarzenegger said, "we should communicate more, we will have a lot of common languages, and the environment in which we grew up is very similar."

California is a special existence in the United States. In terms of economy, if California is listed separately, its GDP will be among the top 10 in the world.

In terms of politics, the United States has a total of 538 electoral votes, and California has a monopoly on 55 of them.

In the US presidential election, this electoral vote is very important. To put it simply, as long as one party first obtains a majority, that is, 270 electoral votes, then he will be elected president of the United States.

The 2000 presidential election was so lively because according to statistics, Al Gore won the majority of the popular vote that Al Gore had already won, but Bush received more than 270 electoral votes.

It stands to reason that if you get more than half of the popular vote in a state, you will automatically get all the electoral votes in that state. This is not right. That's why the two parties recounted the votes and litigated...

But now the guy in charge of this state that is vital to the United States was born and raised in a country that was very pro-Soviet at the time and also had a national policy that represented the core values ​​of socialism. He almost joined the communist camp ( If we look at the Austrian national emblem, we will feel cordial, because it also has a sickle and a hammer).

Feng Yiping smiled. He had no good impressions of the former communist countries in Eastern Europe. At the beginning, he took so much assistance from our country to tighten the belt, but the result was all white-eyed wolves, far inferior to the black ones in Africa. brothers.

He glanced at Governor Shi and raised his wine glass. "I admire Mr. Governor's achievements very much."

"Haha," Schwarzenegger raised his glass, "You are now the idol of more people,"

"Look, those products of yours have brought huge changes to the world. I am also a user of Facebook, YouTube, and Netflix, but do you know which of your projects is my favorite? "

"Don't you like it all?" Feng Yiping said deliberately, who knew the answer.

"I like them all, of course I like them all, but my favorite is the Tesla you founded."

Feng Yiping knew this was the case.

As the governor of a Hollywood star, even if Schwarzenegger lacks economic work, like other Hollywood stars, the environment is his specialty and an aspect he is very passionate about. He also has a relationship with Hollywood. On the starry side, as a straight steel man who has been elected as "Mr. Olympia" many times, he rejected the plan to legalize **** marriage passed by the California Congress.

Last year, he signed California's "Assembly Act 32", making California the first state in the United States to implement mandatory control of greenhouse gases from factories, power plants, and smelters.

It is also this bill that officially launched California’s "carbon emissions trading" program, which encourages companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through incentives, and stipulates that refineries and large factories must purchase permits to legally emit greenhouse gases. .

In other words, automobile companies are required to produce a certain percentage of electric cars or other zero-polluting vehicles. If they cannot achieve this, they can buy from other companies.

The original Musk had benefited from this bill, and Tesla earned at least tens of millions of dollars a quarter from carbon emissions trading.

Obviously, as a green governor, he may not care about how Feng Yiping's Netflix and YouTube will affect his famous Hollywood, but it is impossible not to pay attention to Tesla, which produces zero-emission electric vehicles.

"We all hope that we can do something within our capacity for climate issues," Feng Yiping said.

Schwarzenegger knows who Feng Yiping is talking about "we", that is Tesla's series of golden investors, from Bill Gates to Jobs to Google brothers...

So this made him think that this would be a very promising company.

"I heard that your first car will start a road test?"

"Yes, we are ready for the most suitable places for test drives in all parts of the world, including New North," Feng Yiping replied. "Mr. Governor is also welcome to visit Tesla for a test drive."

Schwarzenegger stretched out his hand, "It's settled, I very much hope to be the first users of Tesla,"

Feng Yiping held his hand, "That is our honor,"

"It's just," Governor Shi asked, "One of the questions I find puzzled is that Tesla seems to have not established a production plant yet?"

This is a very critical issue.

At the beginning, Feng Yiping was also a little puzzled. Why did Tesla have tossed for so long when building a super battery factory, and there was so much noise, but there was no news about the more critical vehicle manufacturer?

But he quickly understood, because he knew that his proposal on the production plant on the board of directors was also what Tesla did.

"On this issue, the board of directors has made a decision. Considering that Tesla can say a brand-new product, we all hope that the production process can be highly automated. Therefore, we hope to develop our own production line."

"For the sake of safety, at the beginning, we must be small batches of trial production, and when it is mature, we will consider building large-scale factories."

He smiled and said, "Our advantage is that there is not much financial pressure at the moment,"

Tesla was different at the beginning. Investors are urging them to produce finished products as soon as possible to make money, and funds are also limited, so they can't operate without income.

But this will not be the same. Feng Yiping himself is the largest shareholder and he is not short of money.

In the United States, the concessions that can be won for building such a factory are at least $1 billion or more, and he cannot let it go.

"In any case, I think California is the best fit for Tesla," Schwarzenegger said.

"We all appreciate Mr. Governor's efforts in environmental protection. California is indeed a place we like very much, but you know, we have to consider the opinions of other directors."

The meaning of Feng Yiping's remarks is very clear. Whether you land in California or not depends on your bid.

"Considering China's advantages in production, we have also put the plan to build a factory in China on the agenda," Feng Yiping added a little.

"Understood~www.wuxiaspot.com~Schwarzenegger inquired clearly about what he wanted to know, and also knew Feng Yiping's attitude on this matter, "I hope we can maintain full communication in this regard,"

The significance of Tesla in terms of environmental protection, he needs, the employment that Tesla can bring, he needs the GDP that Tesla can bring, and he also needs...

"No problem," Feng Yiping nodded.

But he has already thought about it, this matter can still be handed over to Musk, who, but a good bargaining hand-no, is a good hand raising prices repeatedly.

The average entrepreneur will only ask for various discounts. That guy will always change his mind again after everything has been negotiated and improve the conditions. Moreover, he is very direct and confident in asking for money, not a small amount. Such things should be entrusted to professionals like them.

"Then, Mr. Governor, let's enjoy this party," Feng Yiping said, looking at more and more people downstairs.
