Chapter 927 (1/2)

After dealing with the accumulation of danielis entertainment during this period, Simon left for San Francisco on Wednesday, May 8, to deal with an employee interview of the fusion times team and other work in the bay area.

After several months of continuous screening, the frameworks of fusion times, SolarCity and SpaceX have been basically built.

Fusion times and SolarCity are located in Silicon Valley, and SpaceX is located in Los Angeles.

SpaceX, with the fastest progress, has begun to design ”very well.” Simon stood in front of a writing board in the conference room and wrote a number of ”1839” with a water pen. Then he wrote a number of ”1996”: ”since the discovery of photovoltaic effect in 1839, 157 years have passed since 1996. How do you feel?”

Several people looked at each other, a moment later, Daniela greenwater finally said: ”157 years, all wasted.”

Simon tapped on the board with a fountain pen, nodded and looked at the others. ”That's why Dany is the president, not you.”

The other three men and one woman couldn't help their eyes.

As a matter of fact, the employees of the three companies do not have much opinion about the three women in charge.

The reason is that all the regular employees of the three companies, except for a few non staff scientists who are consultants, are under 35 years old and are young people. Therefore, there is no seniority phenomenon in the R & D departments of many large enterprises or government laboratories. What's more, Simon promised everyone that if they didn't do well, they would be removed soon. Similarly, others who perform well will be promoted personally.

In 157, alternating current, semiconductors, fossil energy and so on have been widely used in our lives, but photovoltaic technology has been limited to a few areas. In my opinion, this is actually a waste. Basically, the energy of human society comes from the sun. We have been ignoring the most direct and abundant energy application, but constantly consuming the fossil energy accumulated and transformed by the earth for hundreds of millions of years. This is a very serious misguided way. I set up SolarCity in the hope that our application of energy will be back on the right track. ”

After hearing Simon's speech, several people at the conference table nodded slightly.

If they didn't recognize this idea, they wouldn't join the industry.

Simon pauses a little and continues, ”well, get to the point. It has accumulated for 157 years. In fact, all the mainstream photovoltaic materials have been discovered, as well as the related peripheral technologies. Therefore, my request to you is not to start all over again. Just like Isaac Newton's ”stand on the shoulders of giants”, I hope you can stand on the basis of the technology accumulated by predecessors for hundreds of years, and first conduct a comprehensive carding and integration, and a carding and integration of photovoltaic applications and surrounding technologies around the world. I know what you're thinking. It's not easy for others, but it's not a problem for me, because I have enough capital to support you in this integration. ”

Everyone smiles, but they know it's true.

The so-called integration, frankly speaking, is technology integration.

Since it is a technology, it certainly involves all kinds of patent issues. Whether it is direct acquisition or licensing, it needs a lot of financial support. At this stage, some people may have such capital strength, but considering the investment risk, few people will do so.

This is not a problem for Simon.

Even if you really have to spend billions of dollars, a super rich person will not be hurt.
