Chapter 200
Chapter 200 The next step is to swallow the elephant
Abel's approach to Sony worked very well for Sony.
But the reason he also used this trick to deal with another company that took away Marvel's copyright is if he used it on Fox.
Most likely the effect will not be as good.
Although currently, News Corporation is not fully integrated into the United States.
But Murdoch and News Corporation have worked hard to integrate themselves into American society. Additionally, Australia is part of the Five Eyes and also part of the Anza race.
The US elite's protection and concern for them is not very serious.
Even to a certain extent, they are backyard brothers and younger brothers in the eyes of Americans.
Sony is suffering because it is a real foreign company or a company owned by Neon.
These methods are used against Abel. Sony couldn't handle it as calmly as Fox.
In addition, Parker has not yet fully demonstrated his enormous ability to absorb gold.
Previously released films adapted from superhero comics all had relatively poor results.
Sony's focus on Spider-Man is really similar.
Taking precautions can hurt your muscles and continue to be deceived by the US. Although Sony is very reluctant, it is estimated that in the end, they can only choose to give up.
The fox is different.
Famous films adapted into comic books have been released, although box office receipts were only average.
But that has cost Fox dearly, and Murdoch won't give that up easily.
The bottom line is that News Corporation has been present in the United States for more than 20 years and has more or less integrated itself into it. Americans began to consider it their own.
This is something that Sony cannot compare to.
In other words, the same trick Abel did with Sony.
If used on Fox, the price will be greatly reduced.
There is another more important factor. Sony Columbia is in the US and has no voice channel support from the media giant behind it.
Fox is behind News Corporation, which is able to counter the voice initiated by Abel.
In addition, Abel also has the determination to win against Spider-Man.
But with Fox's Fantastic Four and X-Men taking over, he's no longer interested.
Abel remembers that all of the Fantastic Four had mediocre box office returns and had no sound when caressed. X-Men made some money, but only a little.
Spider-Man is different.
His own revenue and reputation are the boss of Marvel superheroes.
On Marvel's side, the only existence that can confront Batman on DC's side.
Even when symbolizing American spiritual culture, Spider-Man surpasses even Batman. It is mainly about Parker's bloody character design, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of Americans.
Fits most of the image with which the average American defines himself.
In America, everyone wants to be like Spiderman, just a normal person, maybe even a little weaker.
But in critical moments you can become Spider-Man
Master Batman is different.
Although the personalities of the super-rich are also very attractive, in America there are only a few super-rich people. The poor rely on mutations, and the rich rely on the technology of these two "champions".
In the days that followed, Charlize Theron wanted to leave Hawaii for a long time.
But Abel wouldn't let her go. If she leaves, Abel will have to deal with two annoying and difficult to deal with Hesters.
Finally, Charlize Theron was left behind by Abel until the 25th. Abel also left Hawaii on January 26, one day after Charlize left.
He went to Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles, in late January, the average daily maximum temperature was 19°C and the average daily minimum temperature was 10°C.
This is the coldest time of the year in Los Angeles.
Looking at other Los Angeles data, here are the temperatures for Los Angeles in August, the hottest month of the year:
The average daily maximum temperature is 25°C and the average daily minimum temperature is 18°C. From these two data, this can be seen.
In Los Angeles, we can truly say that the weather is pleasant all year round.
Perhaps the reason why Abel has less hair is because Abel is sensitive to room temperature.
This makes him hate winter in New York and he loves jogging in Los Angeles when winter comes.
But it's actually the choice of a growing number of wealthy Americans. This is also one of the reasons why more and more newly wealthy Americans are flocking to Los Angeles.
After arriving in Los Angeles, Abel did not stay for two days, then went to the Bay Area.
The weather in the Bay Area is actually more pleasant than in Los Angeles.
Abel went to the Bay Area and the destination was IDEO in Palo Alto.
This time coming to IDEO, he was quite satisfied with the exterior design drawings of future new energy electric vehicles that he saw for the second time. Bill Morgridge, Mike Natto, Bill Morgridge.
This time the three founders of IDEO provided design drawings.
This has allowed Abel to see prototypes of these new energy vehicles of the future.
For people today, it's even more high-tech.
The important thing is according to the IDEO Big Three. The shape of this vehicle can be produced with today's industrial design and technology.
At first, production costs may be higher.
But if production can be spread out, output can reach a certain level.
Higher production costs can also be reduced.
pretty simple. is the shape and shell of the new energy electric vehicle that Abel wanted and it was able to be created.
That's for Abel to decide that day.
She will immediately establish a new energy vehicle company in Palo Alto.
The company name has long been registered in the United States.
The name is Tesla and the full name is Tesla New Energy. In memory of the famous American physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla.
Company management and RandD staff will also be present soon.
Because before that, Abel expanded his think tank group.
They have everything planned for Tesla.
The new company president is Jack St. Cage, 40, a 1985 graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, with a doctorate in computer science. Before becoming CEO of Tesla Inc.
Jack St Cage works for a startup in Silicon Valley.
This startup has developed a product that involves integrating computers into cars.
The company's slogan is "empowering Americans with information about the most commonly used tools."
In fact, this is the company that developed the first intelligent automotive machinery system.
It was last year when the Internet bubble burst. The startup broke down and CEO Jack St. Cage also lost his job.
But this was limited by the general environment, before Jack St. Cage became CEO of this startup.
His professional career is also very rich and successful.
Jackster Cage previously served as a senior executive at two luxury car manufacturers, Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce.
In addition, he also holds a Ph.D. in computer science. He has both new ideas and experience working at an old auto company.
Previous work related to Tesla's new energy vehicle concept.
After extensive investigation, the think tank believes that Jack St Cage may be qualified for the position of CEO of Tesla.
As for Tesla's chief technology officer, he is a professor at ASU University and the team he brought in.
ASU University, also known as Arizona State University. Although ASU University is not known internationally, it is still a public university.
It is much lower than high-end private schools like Stanford and Yale.
But it is one of the most scientific and innovative research universities in the United States.
More importantly, this professor named Hans, he and his team hold several battery patents.
Professor Hans may not be the best scientist or technician. But perhaps he is the chief scientist who best meets Tesla's current needs.
So after Tesla bought the patent.
Professor Hans brought his team to join Tesla, mainly researching battery technology for the company.
Additionally, other scientific researchers recruited by Abel's advisory group for Tesla were also elite in their respective industries.
Abel's initial capital for Tesla's new energy was more than 100 million US dollars. The gap between it and Tesla in terms of parallel time and space is too large.
Tesla in parallel time and space.
It all started with just a few million dollars in funding.
Millions of dollars must be paid and used to research the product.
It's a miracle if a little money can produce good results. It was the appearance of Musk, a marketing genius, that saved Tesla from bankruptcy.
It can be said that Tesla may be successful but the two founders are not important.
What matters is Musk.
Because with the capacity and financial resources of the two founders, they cannot take Tesla out of the circle.
There is no way to help Tesla choose a new energy path for the two giants. Tesla won't become popular if it can't break out of the circle, and initially no one will care if it doesn't become popular.
From the appearance of Tesla to the sale of the first Tesla product.
Tesla, paralleling time and space, only burned about 100 million US dollars in nearly 5 years.
Its economic conditions are naturally shameful.
There is a Tesla of this Abel space-time. Of course, there will be no shortage of startup capital.
So in terms of scientific research power, Tesla is Abel's.
To suspend parallel time and space, the first Tesla had to be more than a dozen times.
You should know that early Teslas didn't even have enough money to customize a dedicated battery.
The first products are all Panasonic 1860 batteries purchased directly. Tesla rolled and assembled each one himself.
How could Abel establish a professional scientific research team from the beginning to research batteries for the company.
Even during the next period, the work of CEO Jack St. Cage is mainly devoted to research and development.
Engine development, electronic controls, chassis and even interior styling.
The company's marketing was completely ignored by Jack St Cage. Jaxter Cage is a research-oriented business executive.
After all, it doesn't matter how good the marketing is once the human design has been established.
No one in America can match the influence of Abel, the first generation human trafficker in America.
Tesla New Energy was officially established.
After establishing this company. Abel assigns him to his brainstorming group and gives him a new assignment.
It will begin deploying lithium mines around the world.
What is most important for future generations of new energy vehicles?
Is it the battery technology?
Is it a brand? No, the most important thing is actually the most important thing about so-called new energy vehicles.
Battery!
Note not the battery technology but the battery itself.
Simply put, it is lithium ore used to make batteries themselves.
With current technology, lithium, nickel, phosphorus, cobalt and other minerals are needed to produce electric batteries.
Among them, lithium is the most important. In nature, more than 150 types of lithium minerals and lithium-containing ores have been discovered.
Internationally, Chile, Huaxia and Weeping Country are the three countries with the largest lithium carbonate production capacity.
In 2000, these three countries met 84% of global demand for lithium carbonate.
Do you see it ?
Huaxia has its own lithium mine.
This is also the reason why Huaxia will also choose the path of new energy vehicles in the future generation. Because China itself is also a lithium-rich country.
Although the United States is not a lithium-rich country, other lithium-rich countries are located in South America.
For Americans, South America is their garden, RBQ.
This is why Americans are also choosing electric vehicles as the new energy path.
It is now 2001. In this day and age, phones don't even need big batteries.
It can be said that global demand for lithium mines is very low.
That makes it very cheap right now.
Looking at a comparative dataset:
In 2022, lithium mines will be sold at a maximum price of 7,150 USD/tonne, which is the original ore with a content of 5.5%.
2001 now. The data provided by Abel's research team is from last year and the same price was 118.5 USD/ton.
Including inflation, it has multiplied by 70 in 22 years.
If there is a mining giant, buy a few lithium mines immediately.
If you leave it without developing and wait more than 20 years, it is estimated that you can directly earn a hundred times more.
Abel's idea was that he would then start developing lithium mines. But you can't buy them all. If you actually buy most of the world's lithium mines...
With lithium mining prices as cheap as they are today, Abel can actually achieve this.
But that will hinder those who come later.
There is no shortage of smart people in this world.
If at that time, Hoa Ha and other interest groups in the US did not follow this path because there was no meat to eat. Then Abel wanted to cry but there were no tears.
Like Neon People, this group of small cabinets does just that.
They have chosen the new path of hydrogen energy.
He also filed all the patents in a very "smart" way.
The consequence of this approach is to block the path of those who come later. That any latecomers who want to go down the hydrogen energy path, if they want to go down this path, have to pay the patent fees to the newborns.
They think that collecting such "travel fees" will be easy to make money.
As a result, the second giant directly changed the track.
Don't follow the script given by the Neon people.
Finally, electric vehicles were suddenly introduced, a new source of energy that was not new at all. You should know that in fact, electric cars were invented before real cars.
The first electric car in history appeared in 1881.
The first automobile in history appeared in 1886.
With the lesson from the previous Neon, Abel wouldn't be stupid enough to eat alone.
Abel's idea was to only eat the largest piece of meat. Accounts for at least more than 30% of the world's future lithium resources.
Leave the rest to Rabbit and other interests in America.
Let's work together to promote the new energy field of electric vehicles.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone became rich together?
You want to eat it all by yourself, unless you're physically able to resist the wooden balls. Otherwise, on this planet, you really don't want to think about such a beautiful thing.
Confrontation and cooperation are eternal themes of this planet.
Tesla's development is not in a hurry with lithium mines.
There's no need to rush now because you won't see much effect for two or three years.
Even if Abel pushes the two giants into the field first, he believes the effects will not be felt until 2010 at the earliest. So for this problem, he first buried a few chess pieces.
What he's paying more attention to now is actually the Pacific Bank of Commerce.
Abel, who aspires to become one of the true giants of Wall Street.
He doesn't just want to grow Smith Capital.
At the same time, he must let Pacific Bank of Commerce go after Smith Capital. A medium-sized commercial bank has deposit assets of $100 billion and private assets of $10 billion.
Obviously there is no way to be called a giant.
The commercial banking giants are Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Bank of America.
The assets each of them holds are measured in trillions of dollars.
Their own assets, as of 2001, amounted to more than 300 billion USD. These giants are symbols of the true financial capital of the United States.
Compared to them, Wall Street's most famous investment banks look more like toolmakers.
I hope that Pacific Bank of Commerce will have rapid and strong growth.
Of course, it cannot be slow.
These giants have a history of hundreds of years. Generations of leadership have led to today's achievements and importance.
Pacific Bank of Commerce, if you want to rely on conventional means to operate.
In a few decades, such an effect will no longer occur at all.
Of course, Abel did not like this late arrival.
Other methods can also make Pacific Commercial Joint Stock Bank develop rapidly. That's what it says. Acquisitions and mergers.
Like the Pacific Bank of Commerce, it started out as a small bank acquired by Abel.
May it quickly reach the size of a medium-sized bank in just a few months.
Relies on violent acquisitions and takeovers. And this time, Abel and Pacific Bank of Commerce are aiming for a more ambitious goal.
The name of this target is American Express Company.
Um. This is David Jones, the company he used to work for.
The Express Company was founded in 1850 and is headquartered in New York. Australian Express is the world's largest travel services company and a comprehensive global financial services, investment and information processing company.
It is also the only service company in the Dow Jones Industrial Average that reflects the U.S. economy.
Amex is a world leader in innovative customer service.
But don't think that American Express is all about top-notch customer service.
Renjia Express owns three major companies, including American Express Bank. The remaining two companies are American Express Travel Company and American Express Financial Company.
Like American Express Finance Company, it is essentially the investment bank of American Express Company.
This is a giant involved in three main business areas: tourism services, investment banking and commercial banking.
As of 1999, American Express managed about $150 billion in assets and about $20 billion in its own assets.
It cannot be compared with the giants of rich countries, but it is also considered one of the giants among commercial banks. It was similar to the current Pacific Bank of Commerce.
