"Sherlock, I think we need to have a good talk about cooperation."
Musk said with a serious face that he knew why Daimler would cooperate with an unknown emerging company, because their technological advancement was irresistible.
"The 2.0 battery cell uses a gel polymer electrolyte, which is more economical than similar products. The energy density can reach 400whkg, which is one-third higher than the previous generation. There is still room for technical upgrades and iterations, and it can eventually reach more than 500whkg. The laboratory has already developed it. If you, Elon, go to Huaxia, you can see it."
The powerful performance shocked Musk. If the cost can really be controlled, Jierui Power's 2.0 battery cell will be a better choice than batteries.
It will become normal for electric vehicles to have a range of over 1,000 kilometers. After losing the advantage of refueling, fuel vehicles will suffer another blow.
"Should we go now?"
Musk was so excited that he stuttered a little and stood up from his chair, as if he didn't want to wait even a second longer.
"Don't worry, my vacation isn't over yet. Even if production starts, it'll have to wait until next year. I'm almost out of 1.0 battery cells."
Xia Yu waved his hand to signal Lao Ma not to be anxious. The seller's market is just so good. This is also the reason why he has not announced the progress of the development of 2.0 battery cells to the public. That would cause an uproar internationally.
The information revealed to Musk today was just to gain the initiative in negotiations. From 2019 to 2020, he mainly used 1.0 battery cells, and this is the only one Tesla wanted to buy.
"I was so excited that I forgot you were still on vacation. I just don't know when you will be returning home?"
"I have to go back to school for graduation in mid-June."
Xia Yu did not forget such an important thing. If it were not for this package of land, sea and air, he should be staying in Shanghai now. In this way, he would have missed the opportunity to meet old Larry, and would not have met Musk again so soon.
"I really miss it. I graduated from Penn in 1997, and more than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Musk said with emotion that he just realized that Xia Yu had not graduated from university yet.
"Elon, we're really connected. I was born in 1997."
It's quite a coincidence, Musk smiled awkwardly, but old Larry didn't care about that and almost coughed from laughing.
"You call me old buddy all the time, now you're an old buddy too!"
"Yeah, I used to think I was young, but now I look like an old guy."
Musk, who is 48 years old this year, is definitely a young man among the world's wealthy circle, but when he meets a monster like Xia Yu, he has no way to deal with it!
"Sherlock, I'll go to China in June. If you don't mind, can I attend your graduation ceremony?"
After laughing, Musk decided to seize this good opportunity to enhance their relationship and help Xia Yu stand on the stage at the graduation ceremony.
He is not being narcissistic. His popularity in China should be comparable to that of an ordinary star!
"Elon, I would be honored if you came."
Xia Yu accepted Musk's kindness. He was not looking at the benefits to himself, but the publicity for his alma mater. The last time Musk gave a speech in the heavy snow in China was at Peking University and Tsinghua University. When he came to Shanghai, he went to the Electric Power University instead of Fudan University. The media would definitely rush to report it.
As such a noble person, he must of course make some contributions to his alma mater to the best of his ability. It was another day that moved me.
"It's a small matter, but I can't accompany you on vacation from now on. I have to go back to work on company matters."
Musk had to go back to make some arrangements. This visit to meet Xia Yu disrupted his previous arrangements. He also had to go to China later, so all his itineraries needed to be adjusted. Many plans at the company also had to be changed. He really couldn't stay here any longer.
"Then let's take you there. You're much busier than Sherlock."
Old Larry complained that he was retired anyway and his family had moved from San Francisco to Lanai. The climate in Hawaii was more suitable for an old man like him.
The three of them stood up together. Xia Yu and Old Larry watched the helicopter Musk was riding in fly away, and then they became idle again.
"Why don't you go to my island and have some fun? You can only go there on my boat."
Old Larry suggested that they had been staying in this sea area for several days without moving, and they had to move whether they were returning or going somewhere else.
"As for Lanai, I've been there before. It's a beautiful island, but I'd still like to invite you to visit my island."
"Your island?"
Old Larry knew that Xia Yu had a private island, but he didn't know where it was exactly.
"The French island of Canai is 3,000 kilometers away from Hawaii. It's a bit small, only 153 square kilometers, but the scenery is still beautiful."
Xia Yu introduced.
"I knew this island, but I didn't expect it to be yours!"
From the name, we know that this island was once occupied by the Fa people, but because its location was too remote and no one lived on the island, the Fa people sold this beautiful Pacific island.
"To be precise, my family bought it for me when I was just a middle school student."
The transaction on Kanai Island took place in 2011, when Xia Yu was not yet 14 years old. Who else could have bought it if not a "family member"? Bitcoin was worthless at that time!
After hearing what Xia Yu said, Old Larry became even more convinced that Xia Yu came from a family background of hidden rich people. This private island was bought earlier than him, and it might have been accumulated over several generations.
This is like a popular saying on the Internet: How can the efforts of several generations of others be defeated by your ten years of hard study? Old Larry himself started from scratch, so he understands better how difficult it is to accumulate wealth.
