By then, a terrifying "Giant Smith" will appear on this country.

He is a giant holding a financial sword in his right hand, a media loudspeaker in his left hand, and in the middle are the three carriages that directly affect the country's people's livelihood. He also wears a Capitol Hill hat on his head and carries a military-industrial complex package on his back.

hiss.

The corner of Abel's mouth twitched, and he was afraid to think about it anymore.

Because if you think about it any longer, it becomes a daydream.

Thinking of this, he said to Professor Hans and Jackster Cage:

"The prototype machine can be used to verify the technology. But the relevant important aspects of the technology must still be mastered by oneself."

"We will continue to research the battery, and we will also have to do our own research on the motor in the future, including other aspects."

"Come on~" Abel greeted, "Can someone go up and drive it? Let me see if this car can move."

Of course Abel would not drive this first-generation Tesla by himself.

Just kidding, he remembers that in 2022, when electric vehicles are very mature, there will be news of spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles from time to time.

What's more, he wouldn't risk going up there on his own with this kind of unfinished product for experiments.

"I'll do it!"

Professor Hans was very interested, but was immediately stopped by Abel.

This is the company's current scientific research treasure.

Abel didn't want anything to happen to Professor Hans.

"No, let the young people go up. As a professor, Professor Hans, you are only responsible for keeping an eye on it."

Jaxter Cage wanted to go up, but was stopped by Abel.

Because according to what Professor Hans just said, this set of electronic control technology is the result of a combination of talents from various fields that Jackster Cage, as the product architect, found.

This proves that this scientific CEO also has a few tricks up his sleeve, and Abel is not willing to let them take risks.

Finally, a young man was asked to go up and drive the first-generation electric car for a few laps in the shed.

Abel saw that it was in good shape and would not catch fire all of a sudden, so he left with satisfaction.

The time came on April 20, 2001.

Abel hasn't left California yet.

Annie has left the crew of "The Princess Diaries" and is joining the cast to film "Spider-Man".

"Spider-Man" is produced in New York, and most of the exterior scenes will be in Queens and Brooklyn.

At 812 North Bedford Road in Beverly Hills, she won't be able to come back for the time being.

Abel himself plans to return to Texas in the near future.

Firstly, I was concerned about my father's career as a county magistrate. Secondly, I wanted to pay attention to the "American Pacific Supermarket" which was established not long ago and now only has five branches in Tarrant County.

This is another of the three chariots envisioned by Abel.

Regarding Pacific Supermarket, Abel envisioned it as more than just a new Wal-Mart.

If it were just Wal-Mart, no matter how outstanding it was, it would never be able to surpass Wal-Mart.

No matter what, Wal-Mart still has first-mover advantage and brand advantage.

What's more, outside of Wal-Mart, those private retail giants are the real giants.

They are located in various states, and in many cases even Wal-Mart has difficulty getting into them.

Abel’s requirement for Pacific is Walmart + Amazon or JD.com.

Simply put, it is to take advantage of the ascendant online shopping to create a network integrating real retail + Internet sales.

Abel's vision is that Pacific will have branches all over the country in the future.

But every Pacific branch is also the warehouse and express delivery node of the local online store Pacific.

Let’s put it this way, it’s a combination of Walmart + JD.com/Amazon.

Every Pacific store is a warehouse, a supermarket, and an express delivery outlet.

Then try to sell the goods to every American and become a real giant in the retail industry.

If this idea succeeds, the Pacific Ocean of the future will be a freak that combines tradition and the Internet.

Compared with the electric vehicle industry chain, which has some hope.

On the contrary, Abel is not very sure whether he can succeed in the Wal-Mart + Amazon monster.

To engage in the electric vehicle industry, the main issue is whether scientific research and U.S. policies are compatible.

To deal with a monster like the Pacific Ocean, one must overcome the local snakes that lurk in every state.

Fortunately, Abel still has time, he is still very young.

He has more than ten years to realize each of his ideas.

Before that, preliminary preparations are essential.

For example, the "Giant Smith" in his fantasy, the media loudspeaker held in his left hand.

There are many things that need to be arranged and done by him personally.

This day, noon.

Abel, accompanied by MGM CEO Robert Iger, came to Emeryville, California.

Emeryville is a city in northern California, United States, located in the eastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, part of Alameda County, close to Berkeley and Oakland.

In Emeryville, Abel met a man who would later be regarded as the godfather of technology.

This man's name is Steve Jobs.

Emeryville.

In a cafe called "Peet's Coffee".

Abel met Steve Jobs.

In 2001, Steve Jobs was full of energy. He looked like he had never changed into a black woolen shirt and jeans.

The opening remarks were very simple, with Robert acting as the intermediary and introducing their respective identities to the two of them.

In fact, given their popularity in the United States, this kind of introduction is completely unnecessary.

Doing so is nothing more than social etiquette.

After simple greetings.

Jobs smiled and said to Robert:

"I never thought that one day, Robert, you would leave Disney. Michael Eisner is really not a likable person. It seems that even you can't stand him!"

Jobs disliked Disney Chairman Michael Eisner, and many people on the West Coast knew this.

Jobs even quipped in a media interview: "In our more than ten years of cooperation, Michael's visit to Pixar has only lasted two and a half hours... He has never been curious. Curiosity is very important."

But Jobs seemed to have a good relationship with Robert Iger.

This should be related to Robert Egger, who was previously at Disney and was one of the heads of the animation department.

"Stop talking about Disney, Steve." Faced with the harsh tone of Jobs.

Robert Egwin, who looks a bit like Mickey Mouse, smiled:

"I now work for Mr. Smith, and I am now the CEO of MGM. Disney matters have nothing to do with me anymore."

"Oh~" Jobs raised his eyebrows, which were already turning white.

"So you are now going to work against Disney for your boss and MGM?"

Lao Qiao's slightly bitter words from beginning to end made Abel a little bit intolerable.

Abel looked at Robert Egger, who smiled helplessly at his boss, with an expression that seemed to say - [This guy is like this!]

To be honest, before meeting Steve Jobs today.

As a reborn person, as one of those who once enjoyed the convenience of smartphones.

Abel had a certain fondness for Steve Jobs.

It's the same as the person in front of the screen.

But now the Steve Jobs is so vivid and sour in his tone that he is even a bit mean.

It somewhat broke Abel's favor.

Abel's tone couldn't help but become polite.

Abel answered Jobs's question before Robert Iger spoke.

"We are discussing business, Mr. Jobs." Abel retracted the smile he had just had and said seriously:

"I think Robert doing this shows that he is a noble man."
