Chapter 65: Is this chip enough?

"I'm going to bed, good night, see you tomorrow."

When William Chen returned to the living room after taking a shower, he saw a short message from Ivanta on his mobile phone.

He picked up the phone and was about to reply when he noticed that the message was sent ten minutes ago, thought about it, and deleted the letters he typed.

At this moment, he suddenly recalled a scene from his previous life, Chen William stood there in a daze, his heart moved, and he immediately opened the AppStore on his mobile phone and searched for WhatsApp, but there was no result.

Then he continued to browse in the AppStore, but did not see the APP he wanted to find. Chen William turned on the computer, connected to the Internet, and after searching, he was sure that such a similar APP had not appeared, and he couldn't help being a little excited.

William Chen stopped when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Ivanta? Isn't she asleep?

Thinking so, William Chen walked to the door, opened the door, and saw people standing outside.

"Alicia?" William Chen raised his hand to check the time, it was past ten o'clock in the evening: "So late, what's the matter?"

"Can I go in? William, I want to talk to you again."

William Chen hesitated for a while, then glanced at Alicia with a firm expression on her face: "Okay, come in."

He made room, Alicia walked past him, and a faint aroma penetrated into William Chen's nose, making him unable to help rub the side of his nose.

When the two of them sat down on the sofa, William Chen turned to look at Alicia, but saw an amazing scenery... Er, this elegant lady is really bold, and now it turns out to be... a vacuum?

Noticing William Chen's gaze, Alicia bit her lip and said, "I've figured it out, William, I'll try my best to save Pete."

"Oh?"

"Because I have known him over the years together, although it really happened to him and those women, in terms of money, he will not make any mistakes, so at most he will be fined for recruiting prostitutes, no There's jail time. Even if you need to quit, there's still a chance to get another job."

William Chen was very happy to see that Alicia's professional calm was finally back. Hear her continue:

"But after this incident, I won't forgive him for what he did."

"Are you going to divorce him?" William Chen asked.

"It might not be the best choice, but at least I'm not going to accept his filthy body. You know, William, since I saw those pictures of him, what he did with the prostitutes, seeing him , I feel nauseous when I think I once slept with this person."

"Anyway, you are a smart woman, Alicia, I believe you will make the most appropriate choice."

"Now I want to talk to you about your business. Frankly speaking, William, I need those businesses very much." Alicia looked at William Chen and said:

"I admit that I had planned to open a law firm by myself before, so you should now understand why I didn't sign a long-term contract with you directly at that time. And I know that these small actions of mine, those in the firm also have What I noticed was that they wouldn't say anything because of Pete, but now it's different, and I have clearly felt that the time for me to leave there is coming soon, either I resign voluntarily, or they dismiss me."

"So you need my business here to start your law firm smoothly, right? But you shouldn't have only my business, right? What about those clients?" Chen William was a little strange before, why is this here At this point in time, Alicia had to leave her previous firm and open her own law firm. Now he finally figured out the ins and outs.

"Hmph, they..." Alicia sneered and said, "They gave me the business just because of Pete, just like you. Since this incident, they have all started to make excuses."

"Then are you sure I won't be like them?"

"I understand your situation, William, you don't care who these businesses are given to. As long as you have enough ability, what you care about is whether the other party can be trusted enough for you."

"How do you make sure I can trust you? Alicia." William Chen asked with interest.

"I can let you take a stake in my law firm."

Hearing her words, William Chen shook his head and said, "That law firm is not that important to me, and if you choose to betray me, it is not a sufficient bargaining chip."

"Then..." Alicia faced Chen William, her beautiful and dignified face showed a bit of charm, she gradually got closer, and said, "What if I became your woman?"

William Chen had just finished taking a shower and was wearing a satin bathrobe from the hotel. He felt Alicia's hand reaching under his bathrobe.

"Alicia, you..." His breathing began to quicken.

Alicia maintained her arm posture, stood up and knelt in front of Chen William. She looked directly into the other person's eyes and said, "William, I will only be your woman in the future. Is this enough bargaining chip?"

She looked down, her graceful face flashed with surprise, and she bit her lip unconsciously...

……

The next day, William Chen and his party went to Tesla's headquarters as agreed.

When leaving the hotel, Alicia was still as calm and elegant as usual, which made William Chen almost think that the crazy and enthusiastic woman last night was his hallucination.

Alicia greeted Ivanta and chatted a few times, and then everyone got into four cars and drove to Palo Alto, the heart of Silicon Valley.

It can be seen from the location of Tesla's headquarters that the entrepreneurial team of this energy vehicle company uses IT concepts to build cars, which is different from the traditional car manufacturers represented by Detroit.

When William Chen was in his previous life, when he mentioned Tesla, people often thought of the very character Musk, and it was easy to think that he founded the company. In fact, this is not the case at all. Tesla was first founded in July 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Mark Tarpenning.

Musk got in touch with Tesla in the second year. At that time, Tesla encountered difficulties in the early days of building a car. Someone introduced Musk to them, and then the other party took a fancy to this project. Musk Proposed to invest $6.3 million in Tesla on the condition that he becomes the company's chairman has the right to decide all the company's affairs.

So since then, Tesla has become Elon Musk's Tesla.

When a group of people arrived at Tesla's headquarters, William Chen met the man who was known as the "Modern Iron Man" in his previous life. Musk warmly received them and asked William Chen to take a test ride on the special vehicle that had been delivered a year ago. Sla's first production car - an electric supercar.

It took 5 years for this car to go from research and development to mass production. However, the mass production did not bring profit to Tesla, because Tesla sells electric cars, which is a bit similar to selling "carved flowers", and began to accept reservations a long time ago.

At the time, the company expected the car to cost around $70,000, so it set a price of $100,000. As a result, after the official mass production, it was found that the cost was as high as 120,000 US dollars per car, so Master bite the bullet and announced the increased price to 110,000 US dollars.

This decision aroused strong dissatisfaction from the users who ordered the car with prepayment at the time. At the scene of the car sale, Musk almost fainted under the siege of angry users. But the most frustrating thing is that even with the pressure of public opinion, the price of $110,000 still brings a loss of more than $10,000 for every car sold.

Therefore, until now, Tesla has been shouting at Musk all the way and looking for money to survive until now. This guy is also a ruthless man. In order to develop Tesla, he even invested his last $60 million this year.

From when Musk first invested in Tesla, he asked himself to get all the rights of the company. It can be seen that this "Iron Man" has a strong desire to control the projects he is optimistic about. But it is these people who are more likely to be successful.
