Chapter 153 Take You to Ride an Elephant

Cang Yaozu named the luxury villa he bought as Dumei Point Manor. The party held here today achieved fruitful results. Cang Yaozu was very satisfied. This was also the original intention of Cang Yaozu to buy this villa happily. At that time, it was because he was attracted by its luxury level, and it was managed by someone all year round and could move in immediately.

The current price of luxury houses here is still very low in Cang Yaozu's opinion. It should be no problem to increase ten times in a decade. If there is a bad thing, it may be the forest fire in Los Angeles. Fortunately, Malibu is close to the beach and the forest fire cannot burn. It is nothing more than that after the fire is over, the mountains may be a bit ugly.

Recently, Cang Yaozu has been meeting a lot of people. It’s really not possible to have a place of his own. There will be very little room for the United States. It’s always a party or a cocktail party. You can’t always rent it.

There are many luxury houses for rent here on Malibu Beach. For example, the luxury houses in Spielberg can also be rented, with a monthly rent of about 70,000 or 80,000 US dollars. Little Li also lives here, of course, not now, but it is soon. When "Titanic" is released, Little Li will probably come to buy a property. Only beach villas are standard with bikini supermodels.

Today I came to the film and television industry and the Chinese circle in Silicon Valley. Tomorrow I will be the father of Tesla who was kicked out of Tesla in that life and his good partner. In a few days, Edgar Bronfman Jr., John Elkan and his sister Ginny Elkan. The utilization rate of this Dumei Point Manor that Cang Yaozu just bought is also very high.

The surname Elcan may not be very famous. Well, the Elcan brother and sister are also very young. John is just 21 years old this year and Ginny is 18 years old, but their mother's surname is Agnelli. Yes, John Elcan will be designated as the next heir of the Agnelli family by his grandfather, Agnelli, by the end of this year.

In that life, John Elkan also had an intersection with Elizabeth Holm, the evil flower of Silicon Valley. Well, to be precise, he was deceived to stand up for her. Of course, Elizabeth Holm is still young, only 13 years old, and now he is only a junior high school student at most, and he may not be able to deceive these big shots.

Cang Yaozu asked Edgar Bronfman Jr. to contact John Elkan, mainly to reach some cooperation with the Agnelli family. To be more precise, Cang Yaozu fell in love with some industries of the Agnelli family. Of course, Cang Yaozu must not be interested in Juventus Club or Fiat Automobile Group.

In the late 1990s, Agnelli, the old man was not in good health. Now he has stepped down in many positions. Fiat's development has also dropped from its peak and rapid development. The investment in R&D is no less than a little bit compared to car companies such as Volkswagen. This is mainly because of Fiat's own decision-making mistakes, coupled with the overall economic situation in Italy, and now it is about to start the Asian financial crisis, which is a sudden rain.

By then, Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Elcan brothers and sisters will come to Los Angeles on the private jet of Old Agnelli, and Melissa will pick it up in person.

The meeting between Cang Yaozu and Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning went smoothly. Cang Yaozu occupied 75% of the shares of the two newly established NuvoMedia New Media Company with some of Newton's technology and patents and $20 million.

The reason why Cang Yaozu gave so much money was mainly to accelerate the research and development progress of new media companies and to set aside the cost of purchasing electronic copyrights for books.

In that lifetime, Rocket E-books had not bad functions and had a good appearance, but why did it fail? Although the first person to take the lead, they may be just a pioneering character, and the risk is very high. Rocket E-books can be said to have died from content. They do not have enough source of e-book content and have no complete ecology of their own, so they were obscured in the tide of the times.

"Martin, the technical threshold of this e-book project is not high. The key to doing it is a large amount of book electronic copyrights. Without huge amounts of content, you can't make any splashes. With my investment, you can go to companies like Bertelsmann to attract some investments. They should be interested, but they must ask them to take out enough electronic copyrights. If they invest, we can make a big concession, and we will adopt a 55-5-share cooperation model with them. We mainly build an e-book reading platform."

"Okay, Mr. Cang, I will gather people to develop the samples as soon as possible. There are many talents in Silicon Valley. Now that I have sufficient funds, everything will be on the right track."

"Well, Martin, Mark, I'm very optimistic about the e-book project, but I'm more optimistic about it, you two people. Mark will be responsible for this e-book project for the time being. Martin, I need you to be the CEO of a pure electric vehicle company. The initial goal is mainly to be responsible for the development of Tesla pure electric sports cars."

"Really? Mr. Kura, you want to make pure electric sports cars. I like to study sports cars very much. This is something I have been interested in since I was a child. I am happy to start this work. Mr. Kura, do you have any specific plans?"

"Of course there is a complete R&D plan. I will acquire a traditional sports car company in the near future, and you will be responsible for contacting ACPropulsion, which was founded in 1992. The R&D center is located in Santa Maas, Los Angeles, and is mainly engaged in the development of core electric vehicles.

Last month, ACP produced a lead-acid battery electric sports car for only one person - Tzero. This electric car has not performed well, but their company's various technologies based on DC are very advanced. So you'd better acquire or inject capital into them and make them a Tesla R&D subsidiary. I believe that with more funds, they will develop more and better electric vehicle technologies."

"If you can't acquire it, you need to obtain the ACP patent authorization and let them provide Tesla with a complete set of electric vehicle technology and supporting motors, electronic control products and battery assembly technology. With these basic technical accumulation, we can quickly launch the research and development iteration of technology. In addition, our pure electric vehicles need to use lithium-ion series battery packs, which is for laptops, so that the battery life of the electric vehicle can be guaranteed. Therefore, lithium battery technology is another focus of our research and development."

"We Tesla want to develop our own asynchronous motor based on the technology of ACP. First use a single motor, place it in the middle of the two tires of the rear wheel, and be responsible for driving the two rear wheels. I call this motor a centralized motor. When the technology is mature, we will use a dual motor, and both front and rear wheels are driven. I call dual motor all-wheel drive."

"That's great, this is the job I want to do. Well, I don't want to do the e-book project anymore. Mark, you are responsible for completing the e-book project, and then come to Tesla to help me. Mr. Kurakura, which sports car company are you going to buy?"

"That's fine. Then leave the e-book company to Mark. I believe you can handle it. Martin, you will focus on the project of pure electric sports cars. The sports car company I want to buy is the Italian Maserati, and their people will come in a few days. If it's fast, this transaction will be done in two or three months, so you have to speed up.

After the acquisition is completed, Maserati will still produce traditional sports cars, but all its technical processes and some of its R&D personnel will be allocated to Tesla. With Maserati's auto parts and ACP's electric vehicle technology integration, you must create a new pure electric sports car Tesla as soon as possible. Therefore, the technical reserves of ACP are very important. You'd better acquire them in full and replace them with 5% of Tesla shares. Tesla will be the world's largest leader in pure electric luxury sports cars, and the valuation will be very high. You can explain this to them."

"By the way, while I buy Maserati, I will also buy some automotive technology licenses from Fiat Group, such as Alfa Romeo's hinge scissor door technology. They are the founders of sports car scissor doors. Well, Tesla's shares probably have to be given to Fiat Group."

Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning left with great fighting spirit. It seems that interest is really important to a person. When it comes to electric cars, Martin Eberhard is more than just a little bit higher.

While Cang Yaozu was busy meeting guests, Du Xiao also met her mother, younger sister, and Cang’s father and mother. This gave her a big surprise. She came to the United States in 1991 and has been more than five years since she has been there, and her family has never come to see her. After all, her family was not wealthy before, and it would cost a lot to come to the United States.

"Sister, why are you crying? Are you hungry? To be honest, the food here is not very delicious, well, except for seafood and fried chicken."

Du Xiao was amused by Cang Guoguo's words. She wiped her tears and reached out to pick her up: "Little sister, why did you come to the United States? How many days can you stay this time? Why is Aunt Hui with you?"

"Hehe, Mom Hui is naturally with us. We went to Thailand for a week first. There are many elephants there. I have ridden an elephant. Sister, I will take you to ride an elephant next time."

"Guoguo, how old are you? Why are you just eating and playing? Have you done your studies?"

"Of course, I'm a genius. After the winter vacation, Brother Yao asked me to go to Yandu to go to school. I'm going to go to another level. Sister, you are a great genius, and I'm a recognized little genius."

Jiang Lin and Du Xiao talked about some things that have happened recently. When Du Xiao knew that all the changes came from Cang Yaozu, she was a little silent. Her relationship with Cang Yaozu was very complicated. I really didn’t expect Cang Yaozu to get into Silicon Valley and Stanford University.

Du Xiao has always had a huge sense of superiority and a huge sense of guilt towards Cang Yaozu. These complex thoughts are entangled together, which makes her a little afraid to think about or see Cang Yaozu, but this time it has a big impact on her.

Du Xiao took a few people to visit several attractions in San Francisco. She also met the bodyguard team that Cang Yaozu equipped for her family. Melissa also explained to the Silicon Valley company and asked them to send special people to accompany Cang’s father and Cang’s mother and others to help them manage their daily affairs. Du Xiao asked about the escorts a lot of things and found that Cang Yaozu had more than one company in Silicon Valley.

Shengdie is a listed company, Google is a newly built company that mainly focuses on search engines. Most of the technical teams are from Stanford University and MIPS. It seems that several of Cang Yaozu's companies also have a lot of cooperation with Professor John Henness of Stanford University. It's really a ghost. Didn't Cang Yaozu just enter his freshman year?

After a few days of playing in San Francisco, the family flew to the O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. They wanted to go to the Great Lakes. The opportunity was rare, so Du Xiao simply took a few days off to accompany his family to travel. The cost was naturally to swipe Cang Yaozu's card.

A few days later, Melissa took the convoy to pick up people at Los Angeles International Airport, while Cang Yaozu took the chef to prepare a welcome banquet. He wanted to cook a few dishes himself to welcome guests from Italy.

Cang Yaozu did not prepare Italian food, and Chinese food could handle people of all kinds of flavors. This time, in addition to Edgar Bronfman Jr. and Elcan brothers and sisters, Gisele Bundchen and Monica Beluch came back together.

Well, I hope the girls don’t fight. Cang Yaozu thought about this and wouldn’t fight. He should have fought in the first few days and wouldn’t wait until now.

Fortunately, Scarlett followed Emily to Wilder's house to play, and Jessica Alba also went home. She has been practicing dancing these days, and she will join the crew of "Singing and Dance Youth" in a few days. The filming cycle of this movie is relatively fast, mainly because the director and Jackson's world tour are busy in summer and must speed up the shooting progress.

Cang Yaozu is not afraid of not being able to deal with these girls, but it is also a headache to coax them too much at once. Fortunately, the girls are not that close to him, and they have developed the fastest to reach a negative distance. So far, there are only three or four people who have arrived this time. Fortunately, Jennifer went back to downtown Los Angeles to record the show.

I heard that my parents and younger sister went to the Great Lakes District, and Cang Yaozu was also envious. He decided to take a vacation for himself after finishing this period of time, go for a good time, take a yacht, and watch the ball game. Isn't it good? You should know that the master Jordan has completed his second three-game championship in the Chicago Bulls. That is the idol's highest moment!
