Chapter 276 Explosion and Fire

   "What? The car exploded?"

Xia Jingxing received a call from Eberhard and hurried to the scene of the incident.

  When he arrived at Tesla's factory, he just parked the car, and when he got out of the car, he saw Tarpening and Eberhard.

  The two men's faces were pale, and when they saw Xia Jingxing coming, they ran up hurriedly.

  Xia Jingxing was not in the mood to shook hands with the two of them, walked in, and asked what happened.

  "This is how we always thought the battery technology was mature, but who would have thought that when the second prototype was built, a huge flaw was discovered.

  At that time, the car suddenly exploded during the test..."

  Eberhard gave Xia Jingxing a brief description of the cause, course, and result of the explosion and fire.

  Suddenly, when he heard the car exploded, Xia Jingxing hurried over without time to inquire about the specific situation.

  After listening to Eberhard's words, Xia Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief. It would be nice if no one was dead. It was a blessing in misfortune.

  Although no employees died, some employees were injured. It was Straubel, who Musk wanted to dig.

  Xia Jingxing cared about the employee’s injuries and asked Eberhard: "Straubel was injured? Is it serious?"

Eberhard replied, "It's not serious. At that time, Straubel carried a fire extinguisher and rushed forward to put out the fire. Suddenly an explosion fragment flew out and hit Straubel's arm. His arm was scratched. A hole was made and a lot of blood shed..."

  Xia Jingxing nodded and learned that the employee had been sent to the hospital for bandaging, so he didn't ask any more questions.

   Entering the factory building, Xia Jingxing saw the Roadster that was burnt to black at a glance.

  The fire has been extinguished, but the mess in the place can still be seen, surrounded by debris and debris left by various battery explosions.

  A group of employees stopped their work and stood around the wreckage of the car, staring at the group of sports cars that had been exploded into scrap iron in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking about.

  Xia Jingxing thought that this would not work, if all the employees were frightened, how would they work in the future.

   "Guys, you seem to be scared by the big fireworks just now?"

  Hearing Xia Jingxing's words, everyone turned their eyes to him.

  Xia Jingxing looked at this pair of eyes, everyone's eyes were very complicated, there was fear, there was fear, there was confusion, and there was regret.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the employees who had beaten eggplants with Frost, pointed at the wreckage of the car, and said loudly, “This is just a failure!

  On the road to success, this failure may be more than once.

  Electric sports car, what an awesome concept it sounds.

  But who knows who did it, this is a very difficult task.

  Success, your name may resound all over the world, and Tesla will also be among the top technology companies.

  But before that, there may be so many explosions.

  Among you, if someone wants to withdraw because of fear or timidity, you can speak up in advance.

  Because this adventure has just begun, people without a big heart can't hold on to the end. "

  Xia Jingxing was talking, while looking at the expressions of these people.

  Sure enough, after a few shots of blood was poured down, many employees' faces looked better.

   Xia Jingxing continued, “When you chose to join Tesla, everyone had their own ideas. Now I want to ask everyone, why do you want to join Tesla?”

  He looked at Gene and asked: "Gene, you speak first!"

  Gene heard Xia Jingxing’s first name and said with excitement, “In my opinion, this is the coolest job. There is no one.

  My biggest dream is to watch Tesla be born in my hands. "

   Seeing the ridiculous glances of colleagues around him, Gene realized that he had said something wrong, how could he grab the boss’s line?

   So he immediately changed his words: "Actually, I just want to screw a screw for Tesla.

  In the future, if you see Tesla speeding by on the road, you can brag to your friends: Did you see it? That’s Tesla. I screwed a screw for it. "

   "Hahaha~"

  There was a burst of friendly laughter from the colleagues around.

  Jean’s dream is not great at all, it can even be said to be very simple.

  But many people, like Gene, are also in the name of the Tesla electric sports car.

  Xia Jingxing looked at David again and asked, "David, how about you?"

  David is older and his language is more experienced.

  He said seriously: "I worked in Silicon Valley for ten years, and I was tired of office life.

  I heard that a company called Tesla plans to build a car in Silicon Valley. I immediately became interested. This is the life I want. "

  Xia Jingxing familiarly named every engineer and asked them to talk about their original intention to join Tesla.

  No one chose to join because of money.

  Because Tesla's salary is very low, lower than the average in Silicon Valley.

  Everyone loves the passion and sense of creativity that this job brings, and chooses to join.

  When everyone had finished speaking, Xia Jingxing looked at the two founders and asked them to talk about their original intention of starting Tesla.

  Finally, Xia Jingxing also explained to all employees why he invested in Tesla.

  Of course, it’s not for making money. To make money, it’s too uncompelling.

  Xia Jingxing talked about environmental protection, saying that he hopes Tesla can lead the trend of new energy vehicles, completely eliminate fuel vehicles and reduce carbon emissions.

  After all this, the employees slowly let go of their worries and worries and rekindled their fighting spirit.

  At this moment, an employee walked into the factory with Straubel.

   "Wow!"

  Suddenly, there was applause in the crowd, and it was given to the fire-extinguishing hero Straubel.

  Straubel wrapped his hand in a bandage, smiling at it all.

  Xia Jing walked forward, patted Straubel on the shoulder, and praised: "Good job, if it weren't for you, I might not know what it would be like.

  Maybe many people will be injured, maybe the factory buildings have been burned down. "

  Straubel smiled and shook his head, "It's not that exaggerated, it's not a serious explosion, it's just that the small flame burns more vigorously.

  I took the fire extinguisher and put it out after a few shots.

  At that time, I was the closest to the fire extinguisher, so the first reaction was to put out the fire quickly.

  If I don’t extinguish the fire, other people will extinguish the fire soon. "

   "No matter what, your reaction and performance this time is this!"

  Xia Jingxing gave a thumbs up.

  Straubel smiled, no longer humble.

   "How is the injury? Is it okay?"

Xia Jingxing pointed to the bandage on the opponent's arm and asked.

  Straubel wrote lightly? "It broke a little, and stitched a few stitches. There is no major problem. It should be recovered soon."

  Xia Jingxing nodded, called the two founders, and Straubel, and went to the office in the office building next door to prepare for a meeting.
