Musk nodded and smiled and said, "Actually, this problem may be that simple, but Apple has been reluctant to try it. I can't say that the OEM road will definitely not work, but the efficiency is still too low. I heard that Mr. Zhou's beam car is ready to start building a factory?"

"Yes, I will build the first beam car production base in Jinling City, Suzhou Province." Zhou Yujie nodded and said.

The automotive industry, 10 years ago, was a slow investment industry, which means there was no need to worry about building a factory or launching it. It was nothing to be late for a year or two. However, with the rise of electric vehicles, innovators led by Tesla built cars through the Internet, which led to time becoming very important.

Various electric cars are being released and released quickly, which breaks users' perception of traditional brands. Countless new brands are constantly injected into users' minds. You should know that when there were only fuel vehicles in the past, many people would have difficulty choosing when buying cars. Now, the brands of electric cars have more and more parameters, making it even more difficult to choose.

In the Internet industry, the advantages of first-mover players are very obvious. The physical industry may not be that exaggerated, but the advantages also exist. For example, Apple, smartphones, electric vehicles, and Tesla, as long as they do not make mistakes in the early stage, they will be smoother in the later stage.

The first one is not worth it, but the rules behind it are the same. In later generations, countless car-making brands, but in addition to Tesla, the most advantageous ones are NIO, Xiaopeng and Ideal. In addition to the certain capabilities of the three companies, the first-mover advantage is also very important.

Therefore, the beam time should not be late. After several months of negotiations, the first automobile production base of the Jinling Municipal Party Committee was finally decided.

The reason I chose Jinling is because it has SAIC Volkswagen, Mazda, Iveco, BYD and other automobile host manufacturers, which are much more convenient for job fairs in terms of talent.

At the same time, Jinling City and surrounding cities are gathered in a large number of world-class auto parts companies, and the beam has also been in contact with these auto parts companies. Although it is a new enterprise, the beam has a strong background and sufficient funds. Under the influence of money, each company is willing to cooperate, which will also reduce the difficulty in the automobile manufacturing process.

Musk smiled and said, "I hope to see your car soon."

"It's probably going to be in two years." Zhou Yujie nodded and said.

Musk is actually a bit arrogant. He used to have so many hardships, but now after success, he will naturally make people feel arrogant. This is actually a normal phenomenon. In a TV interview, directly ignoring BYD was the most obvious manifestation. Being able to sit here and talk to him is not because of the light beam, but because of the headlines behind Zhou Yujie. As one of the most influential Internet giants in China, Musk is of course very proud of his face.

Musk then asked: "Mr. Zhou, I saw you two hours ago about preparing to invest in charging station projects in China. I would like to ask, do you know if this charging station also supports other car brands?"

A few years ago, in order to popularize electric vehicles in the United States, Musk spent a huge price to invest and build charging stations in American highways, but there was too much money needed here. Musk actually put a guise on it, which was a bit suspected of false propaganda.

The so-called charging stations spread across the United States are actually just a cooperation with gasoline stations, rest areas or hotels next to the expressway to install several charging piles. It is not wrong to use this as a promotion. In the past few years when Tesla just started selling, there were few cars in the United States, and this kind of layout of the edge ball was enough. However, after Tesla's sales gradually increased over the years, there were not enough charging stations.

Although the United States is a bit troublesome, it can support it for a while, but China is not able to do so. Two years ago, while the Chinese government had not defined the charging pile standards, Tesla invested thousands of charging piles in China in one go. The reason why it worked so hard is that China is the world's largest automobile market, and the second is to take action first, and then let China choose its own standards, and once again, it must protect its own interface.

But the imagination is beautiful, but the result is not for his own benefit. In 2015, Tesla had to replace the interfaces, and even cars exported to China had to replace the interfaces. The standards have not yet been set, so Musk naturally lost interest in investing massive amounts of funds to enter the charging station field. After all, Tesla's current production capacity has always been insufficient, and ensuring super battery factories and new automobile super factories is the top priority.

However, the popularity of charging stations is the basis for the best-selling of electric vehicles. Although China stipulates that all charging interfaces must be the same, this requirement can only make it common to everyone during slow charging.

Because the battery of a car contains huge energy, safety requirements are very high when charging quickly. All car companies need to cooperate with piles and batteries. Whether it is charging piles or cars, there are corresponding chips. The chips have not been specially tuned, so it is impossible to quickly charge other models.

Zhou Yujie naturally understood what Musk meant and said with a smile: "Although the beam charging pile project is for the supporting facilities of his own electric car, we are also happy to cooperate with other models."

In his previous life, there were many companies in China that specialize in charging piles. These companies are basically third-party platforms independent of the automotive industry. Therefore, they will naturally accept any model, but Tesla is different, with the same interface, but if the chip is not recognized, it cannot be charged. Although the country has regulations on this area, the implementation is not very strict. It was not until 22 years later that Tesla began to slowly relax its authority and give it to other models for use. The fundamental purpose is actually to further expand its position in the field of new energy infrastructure.

Although the beam charging pile project has the same name as that of a car, it is by no means just for beam electric vehicles and control infrastructure. It is one of the biggest goals of the entire project.

Zhou Yujie is planning to plan in two directions at the same time, one is electric vehicles and the other is infrastructure. In this way, even if the development of electric vehicles is average, as long as the heavy money is spent in the early stage, when the beam charging piles are spread across the country and the density is sufficient, a strong monopoly force will be formed. This force is enough to have an impact on the entire electric vehicle industry. If the beam charging piles do not support a certain ordinary electric vehicle model, it will be enough to have a fatal impact on the brand.

Of course, this is just an impact. If you really do this, it will only cause stronger supervision.

"Tesla is also very happy to cooperate with the beam. In the electric vehicle industry, sharing is the beginning of progress." Musk said with a smile.

"OK." Zhou Yujie nodded and said.

The relationship between the beam and BYD is not a competitor, but Tesla is a competitor of all electric vehicles. Because to put it too much, there are currently two types of electric vehicles in the world, one is Tesla and the other is other electric vehicles. Tesla has great pressure on fuel car companies and new energy companies.

But if Tesla is not allowed to charge its own charging pile because of this, it will trigger all electric vehicle brands, including Tesla, to find ways to bypass the beam charging pile, either build their own or invest in other competitors, which is not conducive to the monopoly plan of beam charging stations.

Especially Tesla, although its stocks are not very good recently, Zhou Yujie knows that in a few years, its stock value can be increased by 20 times, and Tesla's own production capacity will also increase significantly. The company will start to make profits and its cash flow will increase significantly. If the layout of some charging stations is not completed before that, there is a very likely situation of a more tragic money-burning war.

Of course, Musk will definitely do what he should do, but as long as he has the geographical advantage first and cultivates the habit of a large number of electric car owners, it may not be easy for Tesla to grab the market. After all, there are headlines behind the beam.

"I heard that Mr. Zhou is still preparing to focus on investing in photovoltaic projects?" Musk asked in a good mood.

After learning about Zhou Yujie's approximate investment data for China's charging stations, Musk learned about Zhou Yujie's purpose and monopolize charging stations. Although the profit may not be very high, it is very stable and is also the basis for the popularization of new energy vehicles. However, Tesla's current funds are not enough to support this plan, but Zhou Yujie obviously has the ability to fund this capital. If this is true, Tesla's sales can also be indirectly driven.

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Musk is committed to human space immigration, so I can only find ways to improve the human climate."

Musk asked: "Many people think that space immigration costs too much. What does Mr. Zhou think of this idea?"

Although SpaceX has successfully launched the recyclable rockets of Summit, anyone with discerning eyes knows that launching an ordinary rocket is different from bringing a man to the moon, sending a man to space is different from sending a man to the moon, and sending a man to Mars is the difficulty of hell. To do this, it is definitely not something that recyclable rockets can solve.

Of course, difficulties can be taken step by step, but the funds consumed will be astronomical. You must know that the US moon landing in the United States could not bear the cost of even the US government. Even if the cost of rockets was deducted, the price would be very high. The price of going to Mars is probably more than ten times more.

When SpaceX was developing recyclable rockets in the early stages of development, countless people laughed at Musk. When the recyclable rockets were successful, many people did not agree with the idea of ​​immigrating to Mars, because the cost was so high that it would be better to use it to repair the earth's environment.

Zhou Yujie smiled and said, "The cost of space immigration is indeed very high, but it is not the money of others. What do you care about what they want to do?"

"Hahaha..." A laugh came from the audience, and Musk also laughed: "Many people think we should spend this money on the environment on the earth."

Zhou Yujie said: "There is a lot of money in this world. If you want to improve the environment, then those [many people] should come forward and donate, because as long as you have money, you can improve the environment. However, few people can do space exploration.

As for the purpose of space exploration, I think it is still great. The current climate environment of human beings is deteriorating sharply. Theoretically, even if we stop carbon emissions now, the global climate will continue to rise, causing immeasurable disasters. Although climate change is not enough to threaten human survival, we also need to have a way out for ourselves, or even if our generation cannot achieve real space immigration, we must also lay a solid foundation for the future of mankind.

Moreover, space exploration technology has a very great advantage, which is that it may save a large number of lives, even the entire human being, when needed, that is, to fight against asteroids or comets in the universe.

These celestial bodies of varying sizes will hit the earth every few years. What we know is the meteorites that exterminated dinosaurs. The closest to us is the Tungusu explosion in 1908. This is just an asteroid with a diameter of less than 100 meters. The energy released is equivalent to 100 Hiroshima atomic bombs. Fortunately, it fell in the no-man's land at the beginning. Imagine what the consequences would be if it fell in the middle of the city? Millions of people may be wiped out in an instant, and if they reach the sea, the tsunami formed will cause greater losses.

Even in the current science and technology society, even if such a large meteorite explodes in the air, it will cause a large amount of electronic equipment to be scrapped and a large amount of blindness in human eyes.

If the cost of rockets is reduced to very low, at least we can launch a large number of observation satellites to scan countless asteroids in the solar system that can threaten humans. Because the telescopes on Earth are not as clear as space, this will greatly increase our information and prepare early. If we want to block these asteroids, we also need to use rockets to impact and change their orbits.

These asteroids are of great mass and great kinetic energy. If you want to change their orbits, you must improve the mass or even quantity of rockets. The premise of all this is rocket technology. So I think that developing rockets is a very important step for humans to protect themselves."

"Baobababababababababababa..." There was also applause from the audience. Musk said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou's idea is indeed much better than some people. I wonder if Mr. Zhou is interested in launching a rocket too?"

"No need for the time being, I don't have this demand." Zhou Yujie smiled and refused: "My future goal is to find ways to alleviate the further deterioration of the climate. Solar photovoltaics is my key research direction in the future. Of course, other new energy sources will also be involved, or if there are any new energy ideas, I am happy to invest."

Musk nodded and said, "I also agree that solar energy may be the temporary solution to human climate problems. With electric vehicles, this will at least significantly reduce carbon emissions."

"This is probably the only thing we can do now." Zhou Yujie said with a smile.

Judging from the current basic theory of physics and science and technology, before the emergence of controlled nuclear fusion, only solar energy had the hope of alleviating human climate problems.

Solar energy partially replaces coal, electric vehicles partially replaces liquid oil, and natural gas has no good way to replace it.

The two are combined with the restoration of vegetation. As long as the scale is large enough, the purification effect of the earth itself will have great effect. After all, when large domestic cities held large events before, as long as the factory was shut down for a few months, the air could be improved by several levels immediately.

As for the problem of climate warming, it may not be able to change it. It has destroyed the environment for hundreds of years, but the consequences cannot be restored in decades.

Musk then asked: "Mr. Zhou, will you invest in solar power plants on a large scale in the future?"
