Chapter 201: The next step is to swallow the elephant(2/3)

But this was limited by the general environment. Before Jackster Cage became the CEO of that startup company.

His work resume is also rich and successful.

Jackster Cage once served as a senior executive in two luxury car companies, Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce.

In addition, I have a doctorate in computer science, and I have both new ideas and experience working in an established automobile company.

The previous work happened to be related to the idea of ​​​​Tesla's new energy sedan.

After a comprehensive investigation, the think tank believes that Jakster Cage may be qualified for the position of CEO of Tesla.

As for the chief technology officer of Tesla, he is a professor from ASU University and the team he brought.

asu university, also known as Arizona State University.

Even though ASU University is not well-known internationally, it is also a public university.

It is far inferior to high-end private schools such as Stanford and Yale.

But it is one of the most innovative and scientifically capable universities in the United States.

More importantly, the professor named Hans and his team have multiple battery patents.

Professor Hans may not be the best scientist or technician.

But he is probably the chief scientist who best meets Tesla’s current requirements.

So after Tesla purchased the patent.

Professor Hans took his team and joined Tesla, mainly researching battery technology for the company.

In addition, other scientific researchers arranged by Abel's think tank for Tesla are also elites in their respective industries.

The initial capital provided by Abel to Tesla New Energy alone exceeded US$100 million.

The gap between this and Tesla in parallel time and space is really huge.

Tesla in parallel space and time.

When it started, it only had a few million dollars in funding.

Several million dollars of funding are needed to pay wages and research products.

So it’s amazing if you can get good results with a little money.

Later, it was the addition of Musk, a marketing genius, that saved Tesla from bankruptcy.

It can be said that if Tesla can succeed, the two founders are not actually important.

What matters is Musk.

Because with the ability and financial resources of the two founders, it is impossible for them to let Tesla out of the industry.

There is no way to support Tesla and let the two giants choose the new energy track.

If Tesla can't get out of the circle, it won't become popular. If it doesn't become popular, no one will care about it in the early stage.

From the time Tesla appeared to when Tesla started selling its first product.

Tesla in parallel time and space only burned around US$100 million in nearly five years.

Its economic conditions are naturally very difficult.

There is the Tesla of Abel's time and space.

Of course there will be no shortage of starting capital.

Therefore, in terms of scientific research strength, Abel's Tesla.

To defeat the parallel space and time, the early Tesla would have to be dozens of times more powerful.

You know, in the early days of Tesla, they didn’t even have the money to customize special power batteries.

The first few products were purchased directly from Panasonic 1860 batteries.

Tesla then wound them up one by one and assembled them.

How could it be possible for Abel to set up a professional research team from the beginning to research batteries for the company?

Even in the follow-up, the job of the CEO of Jackster Cage was mainly in research and development.

R&D of motors, electronic controls, chassis and even interior styles.

As for the company's marketing, Jackster Cage doesn't need to pay attention to it at all.

Jaxter Cage is a scientific research-oriented company executive.

After all, no matter how good marketing is, the persona has already been established.

There is currently no one in the United States who can match the influence of Abel, the first-generation traffic king in the United States.

Tesla New Energy was officially established.

After the company was established.

Abel handed it over to his think tank team and assigned a new task.

He is going to start laying out lithium mines around the world.

What is the most important thing about new energy vehicles in future generations?

Is it battery technology?

Is it branding?

No, the most important thing is actually the most important thing about the so-called new energy vehicles.

Battery!

Note, it's not the battery technology, but the battery itself.

Simply put, it is the lithium ore used to make the battery itself.

With current technology, manufacturing power batteries requires the use of lithium, nickel, phosphorus, cobalt and other minerals.

Among them, lithium is the most important.

In nature, more than 150 kinds of lithium minerals and lithium-containing minerals have been discovered.

Internationally, Chile, China and Weeping Country are the three countries with the largest lithium carbonate production capacity.

In 2000, these three countries met 84% of the world’s demand for lithium carbonate.

Did you see it?

China has its own lithium mines.

This is also the reason why China will also choose the track of new energy vehicles in future generations.

Because China itself is also a lithium-rich country.

Although the United States is not a lithium-rich country, other lithium-rich countries are all in South America.

For Americans, South America is their backyard, rbq.

This is also the reason why Americans also choose electric vehicles as their new energy track.

Now in 2001.

In this era where mobile phones don't even need large batteries.

The global demand for lithium ore can be said to be very small.

This makes it very cheap at this time.

Let’s look at a set of data comparisons:

In 2022, lithium ore was sold at a maximum price of US$7,150/ton, which was raw ore with a grade of 5.5%.

Now in 2001.

The data given by Abel's think tank is from last year, and the price of the same product was US$118.5/ton.

Taking into account inflation, it has increased almost seventy times in twenty-two years.

If any mining giant buys a few lithium mines at this time.

If you leave it there without development and wait for more than 20 years, you can probably make hundreds of times the profit.

Abel's idea is that he will start laying out lithium mines at this time.

But you can’t buy them all. If you really buy most of the lithium mines in the world——

With the current cheap price of lithium ore, Abel can really do this.

But doing so will block newcomers.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world.

If by that time, China and other interest groups in the United States will not follow this track because they will have no meat to eat.

Then Abel was about to cry without tears.

Just like the Neon Man, this group of little cabinets does just that.
