Chapter 953: Bragging 13 and Spreading Around (8/12)
San Francisco Bay Area.
"This is a Bay Area landscape villa, covering 3.51 acres, with a living area of 7894 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a gym... ”
"It's palace decoration again!"
The little assistant Torrey Blake frowned slightly, looked at the luxury villa in front of him, and directly interrupted the smiling real estate agent in a cold voice, completely losing interest in continuing to watch.
"Give me the album. The little assistant's fair-skinned pretty face with a cold expression directly asked for the album, and under the careful waiting of the real estate agent, he quickly flipped through it, and then found a picture, pointed and said, "Go to this building." ”
After speaking, he returned the album to the real estate agent, stepped on the five-point heels and turned around and walked back to the car, bending down and sitting directly in the black Rolls-Royce.
The real estate agent with a wry smile also trotted back to his car, started the car, and led the way in front.
The little assistant sitting in the Rolls-Royce carriage looked comfortable and proud, the big devil didn't want to live in the hotel anymore, so he asked her to buy a property in the San Francisco Bay Area as a long-term residence, which made the little assistant excited for a long time, you must know that she has not spent tens of millions of dollars with her own hands, and women have a natural excitement for spending money.
In front of the modern style of the sea view and mountain view of the villa, the real estate agent carefully looked at the expression on Tory Blake's face, and found that the expression looked much better, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't expect the beautiful little girl in front of him to be so difficult and difficult to serve, looking at her in a subtle and low-key dark blue suit, a full set of tops with skirts, and open sleeves, so that the traditional combination with modern characteristics made it more and more shining. A big BO wave of hair hangs down to one side, which is even more delicate and charming.
Black SI and mermaid skirt can be called a perfect match, especially such a tall and curvy Cheng Shu beauty, once you wear this style of skirt, it is equivalent to the deadliest youhuo.
The white shirt with a special red flower embroidered on the neckline minus the monotony, I believe that no one can resist this professional charm.
Walking slowly in the ultra-modern style decoration of the mansion, looking at the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows all around, surrounded by panoramic views, the metallic kitchen, the marble luxury bathroom, the oversized bathtub, and the bedroom almost occupies the entire room, Torrey Blake couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and turned back to the real estate agent and said: "That's it, how much... ”
Andy, who had just finished the meeting, walked into his office while thinking about the problem.
"Boss, I'm back. ”
"Well, what's the matter, do you have anything to look at? You've been looking at the house for two days, don't wait to leave, I haven't moved out of the hotel yet. Andy took off his suit and chuckled as he looked at the little assistant.
Tori took the suit, hung it on the hanger, and said in a greasy voice: "After all, it costs millions of dollars, of course, you have to choose carefully, you can't buy one you don't like, but we can move out of the hotel today, I have already bought it, this is the album, you can see if you like it or not." ”
As he spoke, Tori opened the villa's album for Andy and put it on the table to introduce him page by page.
"Okay, it's not bad, that's it, we'll move in today, you go to the hotel to deal with it, by the way, I see that there are no sandbags in the fitness room in the album, you take someone to buy some equipment by the way, I still have to live in San Francisco for a few days, and we will go back to Los Angeles on the 23rd." ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away. “
"By the way, how much did it cost?"
"8.2 million ... ”
"Huh, it's so cheap?" Andy looked at the album on the table again with some surprise, this mansion covers a lot of land.
"It's this kind of market now, no one is buying a house at all, everyone is selling out, and some of them are cheap, but I don't like it. The assistant replied with a smile.
"Well, then you can do it. Andy nodded, then took a folder, opened it, and began to look at the files.
The assistant did not disturb Andy's work, in recent days, because the international crude oil price broke through $100 again, once triggered a sharp drop in the global stock market, the big devil is taking this opportunity to spend a lot of money to brush the presence of Tesla's electric vehicles.
The "bull market" in oil prices began in 2004 and has soared from more than $30 a barrel at that time to more than tripling in the past three years.
The think tank's conclusion to Andy is that this round of oil price increases, measured by the magnitude of the previous three oil crises, constitutes a new oil crisis, which is one of the important reasons for the US economy to fall into recession and the global economy to slow down.
The oil crisis, the energy crisis... This is simply a godsend for publicity and marketing, and only when people are in a crisis will people pay attention to the issue of renewable energy and environmentally friendly energy, and the substitution of oil.
Andy has been nesting in Tesla for the past two days, holding a meeting every day to brainstorm new ideas on marketing planning and publicity, and then immediately choose to implement them.
Andy even called David Lightman to invite him to bring his talk show team to Tesla to record a show, which is undoubtedly equivalent to going shirtless for Andy, who rarely appears on TV shows.
When David Lightman, the old rascal, heard Andy's invitation and was surprised that such a good thing had befallen him, he took people to San Francisco without saying a word.
Under the influence of geopolitics, major oil producers have repeatedly refused to increase production, and it is expected that the price of oil will still run at a high level between $80 and $100 per barrel during Xiaofeishou's tenure, which will make it difficult for the United States and the global economy to digest.
Of course, Andy is not the Musk who steals other people's achievements, is short of funds, can't see the future progress of electric vehicles, and needs the media to cheer him up, let alone appear like a thorn all over his body, ready to respond to other people's cold water with a sarcastic attitude.
Andy's calm and confident smile and no shy away from difficulties, but his infinite confidence in Tesla's future and his expression of saving the world left a deep impression on everyone.
"If you believe me, in the next few years, traditional gasoline-powered cars will be the old cow... ”
"Haha-"
After a few laughs, host Letterman began to passionately accuse Detroit of failing to produce electric cars and causing the collapse of the country's economy, while pointing out that the Volt has a range of only 40 miles on a single charge...
In order to arouse the emotions of the audience, Andy announced that the cost of this car was only $60,000, and continued in the applause of a large group of "live audiences": "We are calling for and promoting the federal government to subsidize electric vehicles, so the production model will be cheaper... ”
When Letterman, the old hooligan, cooperated and sat in the car like a show, Andy on the side did not forget to brag, although it was a draft, and said: "One thing worth mentioning is that the actual cost of the Model S electric car is only $35,000 at 45 cents per gallon of gasoline through recharging." After settling the score, he puffed, "So would you rather buy this car, or a Ford Taurus?"
As soon as Andy's words fell, Lightman grabbed the steering wheel and began to rock and scream back and forth, pretending to be electrocuted. Andy, on the other hand, grinned meaningfully. At the end of the show, there are all kinds of fancy dictates of an electric sports car, and the final picture falls on a row of mass-produced electric sports cars, and the whole talk show ends.
The show was undoubtedly a success, as in the following period, there was an unusually high number of phone calls and e-mail inquiries, especially the Model S, which became the new star model.
The electric sports car Roadster showed so much power at the end of the show, enough to prove that electric vehicles are not only competitive but also excellent performance, which made many people come to Tesla in person, asking for a test drive, although because of the increase in cost price, Tesla and Andy received some criticism, but after the show was broadcast, the biggest effect is that orders have increased again.
The first batch of customers, who complained a lot about the price increase, are now more worried about whether Tesla will deliver the car to them in the order of time.
Andy personally recorded a video on Tesla's official website, making assurances and promises, which dispelled some people's doubts and worries.
In a word, what Andy has been doing in the past few days in San Francisco is how to blow up the Tesla balloon bigger and bigger, and he is not disappointed, how Tesla will save Detroit from its headquarters in Silicon Valley has become the focus of discussion among the American people.
As for the condemnation and refutation of General Motors and Ford, which vomited blood angrily, Andy also did not hesitate to be a poisonous snake, and tried his best to slap his face and reply with all kinds of ridicule.
"You need a spatula to make the car as smooth as our S-shape... ”
"You're so compact, and our Model S can fit a surfboard, a 50-inch TV, and a mountain bike at the same time. ”
"Our electric car can travel more than 200 miles on a single charge and can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in four seconds, can you?"
