Chapter 1463 Unearthed

   Two days later.

The press conference was held as scheduled at a large conference center in Palo Alto, and reporters who received invitations came from all over the United States to see how Darren Xia would explain to the injured and the society.

   As soon as we entered the venue and sat down, a group of reporters couldn't help but exchanged opinions with their peers.

   "Hey man, I'm John from ABC, and you guys from CBS are here today?"

"John, I'm Mason, nice to meet you. The media present today are far more than you and me. I just saw people from NBC and the CW TV network. Except FOX did not send anyone to attend the conference, the five major TV networks in the United States There are a total of four nets present today."

"Haha, I heard that Murdoch and Darren Xia forged a lot of grudges a few years ago, so you can often see news corporations and Fox's mouthpieces reporting some negative comments on Darren Xia and his industry. For example, the brake failure incident this time is the most, widely, and comprehensively reported by Fox.”

   "What's the point of Darren Xia holding this press conference?"

   "I guess it is a positive response and clarification of the negative news these days, after all, this has affected Tesla's listing promotion."

   "I think so too, but I just don't know how he will clarify it? Saying "our car is fine" with empty teeth can't convince the public."

   "Perhaps Tesla has already investigated the accident."

   "It's very possible."

  …

The conversation between   John and Mason represented the real thoughts of most of the reporters attending the conference today. They speculated that Darren Xia could not sit still after seeing the negative public opinion that went against the sky and tried to justify Tesla’s name.

  How can I correct my name?

  Most reporters believe that Tesla must produce solid evidence, otherwise they will not be merciful.

   Soon, the lights in the venue suddenly went out, and then everyone closed their mouths wisely, and the noisy scene quickly quieted down.

   Then, the figure of Xia Jingxing appeared on the stage.

   "I guess everyone must be very curious, what will this fellow Daerenxia talk about today?

  Talking about Tesla? No, we're not talking about this company today. "

   Hearing this, the reporter offstage was no longer calm, and stared at the figure on the stage in a stunned manner.

   Don't talk about Tesla? So what are we calling for? Do you listen to your tech lecture?

   There were also many people who thought that Xia Jingxing was joking, and were waiting for his next sentence with a playful expression.

  Xia Jingxing on the stage said slowly: "I'm not joking with everyone, I really won't talk about Tesla today, let's talk about other more interesting topics."

   After saying that, before everyone could react, Xia Jingxing pointed to the audience and said, "Next, we will invite my two good friends, Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, to the stage."

   As soon as he finished speaking, two people in the front row stood up immediately, one with gray hair and the other with shiny heads without a single hair. It was Gates and Bezos.

   The two turned around and waved to the audience, then walked up the stage side by side, and surrounded Xia Jingxing in the middle, as if humming two generals.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the two with a smile on his face, these two old friends were still able to get along, and they were called to help the platform with just one phone call.

   Of course, there is affection in this. If it is someone else, you can’t summon two rich people who are technology leaders in the United States and even the world.

Although their family offices, Waterfall Investments and Bezos Ventures, are both shareholders of Tesla, the two cannot and should not stand idly by seeing that Tesla is in trouble, but then again, the two institutions hold the Tesla's shares are less than 1%, which is a dispensable existence, and this alone can't call the two of them to help with all their hearts.

   When Xia Jingxing called the two, he promised that Tesla would open a certain amount of investment to the two institutions when Tesla went public and raised funds.

   As a result, Gates did not look down on Tesla's shares at all, and rejected Xia Jingxing's kindness, but he agreed to help stand up.

  Xia Jingxing helped Gates earn tens of billions of dollars during the financial crisis. Gates naturally has to maintain their friendship beyond ordinary friends.

   On the contrary, Bezos has a lot of interest in Tesla, and believes that this electric vehicle can cooperate with Amazon's logistics and distribution business in the future.

   In addition, the friendship between Bezos and Xia Jingxing is not as deep as that between Gates, so after hearing that Xia Jingxing asked Amazon or Bezos Venture Capital to invest in Tesla strategically, Bezos immediately agreed.

   Seeing the three leaders of science and technology appearing in the same frame, the reporters pressed the camera shutters one after another, and several large cameras set up under the stage moved their positions one after another, giving each of the three bigwigs a close-up frontal close-up.

   "Today, I invited two guests to come here, mainly to hold an interview with the theme of "subverting the old world".

   Next, Gates and Mr. Bezos, I will ask each other questions and answer all kinds of questions we experienced in the process of starting a business. You can take it as a memoir of the three of us about starting a business. "

   Gates, like Xia Jingxing, also wore a microphone on his chest. He nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, today we will tell you a lot of interesting things, which are content that you can't see in several books published in the past."

   Bezos added with a smile: "It will also subvert everyone's past perception of the three of us."

   All the reporters looked thoughtful. Many people didn't quite grasp the ideas of the three bigwigs, but a few people noticed the topic of the interview just mentioned by Xia Jingxing - subverting the old world.

   If you associate this theme with a series of recent changes at Tesla, it will be a bit reverie.

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "Stop gossiping, let's start recording the show!"

   Having said that, the three of them took their seats on the sofa placed on the stage, formed a semi-circle between each other, and talked to the reporters under the stage.

  “…Microsoft was hit by Old World forces when it launched the first retail version of Windows in the 1980s.

   They felt that the graphical user interface GUI launched by Windows 1.0 infringed their patent rights, on the grounds that Microsoft had used the design command line interface CLI before.

   This is just a pretense, the real reason is that Microsoft entered the field of home computing and touched a lot of people's cheese, so they started to slander us as thieves.

   But I can say responsibly that Microsoft never stole anything from anyone. We rely on innovation to continuously bring new user experience to users.

   It also turned out that I wasn't talking nonsense, because soon Xerox took the company that sued Microsoft to federal court for infringing on Xerox's GUI patents.

  How ironic this is!

  Derron once told me a Chinese idiom called a thief shouting to catch a thief, which is probably the story that happened to Microsoft.

  Finally, the federal court ruled that Xerox and the company’s lawsuit were dismissed, Microsoft was cleared of innocence, and the grievances suffered by Microsoft for several years were washed away. "

  Xia Jingxing, the guest host, asked, "Who do you mean by "that company"?"

  Gates took a meaningful look at Xia Jingxing, smiled, but still didn't name him, and said, "It's the one that is best at thieves calling and catching thieves!"

   There was a burst of laughter from the audience, and everyone understood that this was the fruit of wisdom.

  Wisdom Fruit had a fierce battle with Microsoft in the 1980s, and lawsuits were commonplace.

   After entering the new century, Wisdom Fruit and Fuxing Mobile have been paired up again, and the two companies have also fought numerous patent lawsuits.

  Wisdom Fruit slandered the revival mobile phone as a thief just as it slandered Microsoft at the beginning. As a result, the lawsuit was repeatedly dismissed by the federal court, which can be said to be a loser and a loser.

  Xia Jingxing laughed and said: "I understand if you say that, they are really good at doing this!

   By extension, I think this is the persecution of the latecomers by the pioneering companies. No matter how innovative the latecomers are, the pioneering companies will always hold their proud chin: You are thieves!

   This kind of performance is actually more proof of their unbearableness. They are afraid that the latecomers will surpass them, so they can only suppress the development of the latecomers by smearing and spreading rumors. "

   Hearing these words, the reporters in the audience suddenly realized.

  Although Xia Jingxing didn’t mention Tesla at all, they have automatically substituted the experience of Microsoft and Fuxing Mobile into Tesla.

   A small car accident with no fatalities resulted in Tesla being like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouting and beating.

   As long as you think about it calmly, you can find that this matter reveals all kinds of abnormality.

   The California Highway Patrol has not yet found out the truth of the car accident, and the Internet has begun to chase after the wind and spread rumors. A series of events are full of conspiracy flavors.

   After interviewing Gates, Xia Jingxing continued to interview Bezos.

  “… During the establishment of Amazon, we also experienced what happened to Microsoft and Fuxing mobile phones. They were smeared for their poor quality and untimely logistics.

   But it's not the worst thing we've ever encountered!

   The worst thing is that some giants suppress those suppliers who are on Amazon, including but not limited to removing the supplier's products, asking suppliers to give them higher discounts, and choosing one of the two platforms.

Daeron is right in saying that the latecomers need to face the suppression of the evil forces that represent the old world, but they never reflect on themselves, refuse to make changes, and simply think that if they kill the latecomers, they can continue to enjoy their own. market.

   This bad ethos exists not only in the technology world, but also in all walks of life, and has largely curbed American innovation. "

   The reporters in the audience looked at each other in dismay. After listening to Bezos complaining so much, the more I heard, the more I felt that the evil forces in the old world he was talking about were referring to Walmart!

  If Amazon and Walmart are divided into a group for comparison, who is the old world evil force corresponding to Tesla? Ford? Universal?

   The reporters immediately thought of a lot, and the more they thought about it, the more they thought that it might be the fuel car company behind Tesla.

   But Tesla is only so big at the moment, even if the fuel car companies want to crack down, they can’t do it now.

   With countless questions, the reporter turned his attention to Xia Jingxing on the stage.

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "I agree with Mr. Bezos' point of view that innovation is the magic weapon for the United States to stand on top of the world. If innovation is discarded, the United States will no longer be great.

What these people are doing is simply digging the roots of America. "

  Bezos nodded lightly, "Yes, Daeron, I have the same concerns.

   The reason why I am here today to talk with you and Mr. Gates is to discuss a solution that will benefit the entire tech world. "

  Gates said with a sullen face: "For those companies and people who do not abide by the rules and moral bottom line, the technology community must unite and resolutely fight back.

  Only when this unhealthy trend is eliminated, can American technological innovation truly usher in great development. "

  Xia Jingxing felt that Gates did not speak well, the structure was not opened, and it was the United States that opened his mouth and closed his mouth. I am Chinese. You said that, you are not isolating me as an advocate.

   Gates also quickly noticed that there was something wrong with his words, which would make Xia Jingxing feel embarrassed, and immediately changed the subject: "Darren, during the creation of Facebook, did you experience anything similar?"

   "Of course there are, and there are quite a few..."

  Xia Jingxing learned the way of speaking from Gates and Bezos, and began to Google the obscure connotation.

   In fact, he did not wrong Google, it is common for the other party to secretly suppress the development of Facebook.

   The three of you asked me, I asked you, and soon we chatted for more than half an hour. All kinds of secret stories about entrepreneurship were sprinkled out like beans poured out of a bamboo tube. The reporters in the audience were so addicted that they all felt that the trip was worthwhile.

   Towards the end of the interview, Xia Jingxing made a concluding remark: "Commercial competition is a very normal thing, just like the survival law of nature, natural selection and the survival of the fittest!

But when competition is mixed with factors such as deliberate smear, slander, malicious retaliation, etc., the whole thing will develop in the opposite direction. In the end, bad money drives out good money. Those real innovations can bring better services and services to users. Experienced companies can't make it, rotten companies continue to dominate the entire market, and users can only silently endure high prices and poor service. "

  The reporters under the stage nodded, not to give Xia Jingxing face, but the three big bosses to go out together, bringing everyone present a series of intrigues hidden behind the brilliance of entrepreneurship, so that everyone accepted a spiritual baptism.

  Although the three have never mentioned Tesla's name, the reporters all know that this is to clarify for Tesla - an opponent is deliberately messing with us.

   At this time, most reporters believed that Tesla was really framed and wronged, and expressed sympathy for Tesla in their hearts.

The rational side of    tells them that everything must be presented with evidence.

  If there is no evidence to show, they can't help Tesla to clarify.

   Just when Xia Jingxing was about to announce the end of the press conference, there was a sudden commotion from the audience.

   "Wait a minute!"

   With a shout, a tall white youth appeared at the gate.

   He quickly crossed the gate, then passed through the corridor between the rows of seats, and walked towards the stage at a fast pace.

   The sharp-eyed reporter recognized it, and the man who suddenly called off the press conference was Tesla CEO Straubel.

   Seeing that the press conference was interrupted, the reporters suddenly talked a lot, all speculating about what Straubel was doing here.

   Like these reporters, Xia Jingxing looked at Straubel who was walking towards him with a surprised expression.

   In fact, these were all pretended by Xia Jingxing, he knew very well what Straubel was going to do next!

After   Straubel took three steps and took two steps to the stage, he beckoned for a microphone and said aloud: "Sorry! I've disturbed everyone for a minute. At the end of the press conference, I brought you a big news.

   I just came from the California Highway Patrol office building, and I have a car accident investigation report issued by the police. "

   Upon hearing this, the reporters craned their necks to look at the stage, and the photographer also took a close-up of the document that Straubel held high in his hand.

   "This report proves that the accident that happened a few days ago was man-made and has nothing to do with the quality of Tesla's cars!

  Tesla car was deliberately framed! "
