As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 73 The Vacancies in the Market

The Chinese ambassador to Singapore has already submitted an application to the Singapore side, requesting that the two people who sneaked into the Ke Chuang Biological Research and Development Center be arrested and brought to justice.

When MagicCoin was first released, not only America was monitoring Zheng Li, but China, England, and Japan were also monitoring Zheng Li at the same time.

Relevant personnel from the Chinese side took a video, which showed not only these two people, but also another person driving a specially made SUV.

After this video was released, it further proved that this behavior was a collective crime.

After the incident fermented, Musk and Tesla China both defended themselves on Weibo. Yes, Musk also has a Weibo account and posts on Weibo quite frequently.

Weibo is China's most important battlefield for public opinion, and family disputes between Americans and Japanese who are getting divorced have to be fought out on Chinese social media.

Musk said on Weibo:
"Neuralink's technology is purely self-developed. Founded in 2016, Neuralink has profound technical accumulation in the field of brain-computer connection. Kechuang Bio is also a formidable opponent.

But the theft of their data has nothing to do with us, and the appearance of Tesla Singapore employees was just a coincidence.

If I really did this, I would never send Tesla employees to do it. I am not crazy enough to do that. Tesla is a new energy company, not a 007 training base.

Not only Tesla employees but also Microsoft employees appeared at the same time. This incident has absolutely nothing to do with Tesla.

Tesla Singapore will fully cooperate with the Singapore police in their investigation and will get to the bottom of this matter.”

Netizens didn't buy his trick:

"Why didn't you show off your brain-computer interface to a cell phone right after the Science and Technology Innovation Biotechnology was stolen? Isn't that just a coincidence?"

"Do you think we are **? Why is it such a coincidence?"

"Let's see whether it's a mule or a horse. Let's see how good the brain-computer connection mobile phone you make is by the end of the year. Don't make a fool of yourself by bringing out a brain-computer connection mobile phone specially supplied by China."

"I wonder if America will still have the nerve to accuse China of stealing their intellectual property in the future."

Musk felt that he had been cheated. The data he obtained was given to him by military leaders, and he could vaguely guess what force had obtained it.

But Musk didn't expect that the CIA agent was openly an employee of Tesla, which was extremely bad luck.

He called a meeting with the public relations team overnight and asked them to find a way to shirk responsibility and conduct emergency public relations. He also gave Neuralink a death order to use Ke Chuang Bio's technology to develop an English-language brain-computer interface for mobile phones.

"Elon, we cannot admit that Tesla has anything to do with this incident. Your reply on Weibo should be directed to the public, not Zheng Li."

"We don't need to pay attention to Zheng Li's questioning. What we need to do first is to publicly explain to the public that the whole thing is the personal behavior of Tesla employees. It has nothing to do with the company, let alone you personally."

"The other option is to wait for some time to pass and for the incident to no longer attract so much attention before issuing a detailed and complete report."

"We will use appropriate descriptions in the report to blur the matter and leave enough room for description in the middle ground. Then we will solemnly state Tesla's position and persistence at the end of the report."

"Then they hired internet trolls to confuse the public's memory, replacing Zheng Li's Weibo and China's official language with Tesla's explanation."

This tactic is a common method used by the American Fifth Column, which uses keywords, Internet trolls using materials and serious expressions to replace your own memory of a certain event with the memory they want you to remember.

The information here was actually prepared by them. They prepared the information to prove the conclusions they hoped to reach.

"This process takes time. This is a fundamental solution. As long as the Chinese government does not intervene personally, Tesla's reputation can be reversed in this way."

"Although sales will still decline, it will definitely not decline too much."

The head of Tesla’s public relations department was the quickest to come up with a response. If Musk knew that Tesla employees were involved in this, he would never have tweeted about Neuralink.

Another important reason why he posted on Twitter is that Neuralink needs to conduct a round B investment.

Neuralink was founded in 16, and there is little left of the 5900 million Euros invested in the A round. In addition, it now has to conduct research and development along a completely different technical route from before, and it has to recruit people and conduct large-scale experiments.

Neuralink doesn’t have enough money and needs to launch a new round of venture capital. One of the purposes of posting on Twitter is to raise the price of Neuralink.

Now, let alone raising the price, Neuralink’s Series B round has fallen through, or he was the only one who invested in the Series B round.

The evidence provided by China and Kechuang Biotechnology is so closely related that it will be difficult for Tesla to escape suspicion.

What is even more worrying for Musk is that Tesla's corporate image in the Chinese market has been greatly affected. Its car orders have plummeted, and a large number of customers who have already placed orders have come to apply for refunds.

Tesla's stock price has continued to plummet. It should be noted that this is the hottest time period for new energy vehicle companies' stocks.

As a result, the share prices of domestic car companies have continued to soar, and the ETF index of the new energy vehicle sector has risen by more than 2 points for three consecutive days.

Domestic new energy vehicle companies were led by Xiaokang Shares, BAIC BluePark and Great Wall Motors.

The market is optimistic that after this public opinion war, the market share of China's new energy vehicles vacated by Tesla will be seized by Chinese companies.

Just like how Huawei and Dami’s market share increased significantly after the Samsung explosion incident.

Musk regrets it very much. Tesla has already suffered a heavy blow before it has even started to make a dent in the brain-computer interface.

China is one of Tesla's most important markets. Not only is the market important to Tesla, Tesla's Shenhai Super Factory is even more important.

Lei Jun was very anxious. He knew very well that the hot topic would only remain for a period of time, and the market vacated by Tesla's plummeting sales would soon be occupied by other manufacturers.

There is no sign of Dami making cars yet. By the time he makes a car, the profits from Tesla's incident will have nothing to do with him.

But there is no point in rushing such things. Making cars is more difficult than making mobile phones. There are many tests before new cars are launched on the market, including durability, sealing, NVH, drag coefficient, etc.

For a new car company, these tests will be more stringent.

It took Xpeng 54 months from the founding of the company to the launch of its first car, Ideal took 54 months, and NIO took 42 months.

As for Mr. Jia and Mr. Xu, they also want to build new energy vehicles. One is still suffocating, and the other will probably remain in promotional videos forever.

Even though the new energy vehicle industry chain is more mature than in previous years and the difficulty of building cars has decreased, it will still take at least three years for Xiaomi to build a car.

In addition to being anxious, Lei Jun was looking forward to the lithium battery developed by Zheng Li to add core advantages to Dami's new energy vehicles.

Just like Xiaomi can get Qualcomm’s latest chip, the data is there, and this is the core advantage.

The content of the previous chapter is because everyone in the black technology articles has been writing about the reactions of the onlookers, so I wanted to write something different but the result cannot be released. If you want to read it, you can go to the book club. If you don’t want to read it, it’s okay. The previous chapter mainly talked about the media response.

Another explanation for why the two people showed their faces is that the security measures of the Kechuang Biotechnology Research and Development Center would close the elevator at night, and they could only go up to the 17th floor through the elevator shaft. After reaching the 17th floor, if they were very tired, they would have difficulty breathing if they wore masks, and these two people were outsourced employees, not elite.

It is normal for them to take off their masks after checking the cameras. This is the end of the story. I will briefly mention the subsequent impact later and will not describe it in detail. I originally wanted to talk about the public opinion war and how to shape the corporate image and crisis public relations, but now it seems that I can't do it anymore, hahaha.

Next I will continue to write about professional black technology. The magic forum and magic coins have not been launched yet~
