Recently, elon Musk has a new title, and in the latest round of the NATIONAL ACADEMY of Engineering's "Naxin" activity, Musk was successfully selected and became one of the 133 new academicians. Although musk is a social buzzer in the eyes of many people and speculates on bitcoin from time to time, in the eyes of the National Academy of Engineering, he is indeed a real scientist.
Jia Yueting, a Chinese dreamer who many believe can compete with Musk, has not had a good time recently. His Faraday Future (FF) was recently investigated and then concluded that there were 14,000 orders that actually paid only a few hundred people, which can be said to be a slap in the face. All indications are that Jia Yueting's FF delisting seems inevitable.
One likes to shout about colonizing Mars, the other calls to suffocate dreams, Musk and Jia Yueting can be said to be the two most famous fools in China and the United States. Why are the fates of the two so different now? Let the kung fu car take everyone to see it together.
(1) The two "dreamers" have also been "dream linkage"?
In recent years, everyone's understanding of Jia Yueting is gradually blurring, and most of them are only left with a "return to China next week". But five or six years forward, he is definitely a trend maker in the domestic technology industry, and even many of his ideas have been influenced to this day.
For example, selling mobile phones, selling TV does not make money, just make a friend, as many users as possible to form an ecology, and then make money through the application download or program booking in the ecology, the current millet is not this model, but also made the youngest of the world's top 500; for example, to create a video website, pay attention to film and television copyright, pay attention to content, the current iQiyi, Tencent video is not what to do, when you get the high-quality film and television series in your hands, it will eventually form a strong centripetal force, do not worry about making money. Of course, if Lao Jia is still there, he may also strengthen the attraction to self-media, and may create a giant similar to Tencent Video + B station + Douyin, but that is a later story.
Finally, there was also car building, at that time, they all felt that the threshold for building cars was extremely high, Geely, the Great Wall, which has been engaged for more than ten years, can not compete with the joint venture, how can a "layman" build a car? Looking at the current Weilai, ideal, and Xiaopeng, is it suddenly cheerful?
Old Jia flickered and turned around, and these things he said were really capable, but it was he who was shouting, and it was someone else who picked the fruit.
Musk is just the opposite, although he looks like a "dream maker" like Lao Jia, in fact, he is essentially a "dream breaker", his life is actually constantly seeking new breakthroughs, he just draws cakes for others, and he is a real person who eats cakes.
Musk's origin is not glorious, the first major choice in his life was to escape military service and immigrate to Canada, and the second major choice was to give up master's degree and choose to drop out of school to trace the tide of the Internet. Then rely on the Internet to start a business to achieve wealth freedom, before the Internet bubble came. When he smelled the big prospects of the auto industry, he entered Tesla as an investor and purged the original founder, making himself the creator of Tesla, Silicon Valley Iron Man, and firmly tied to Tesla.
Musk is actually an extreme realist, such as in order to ensure the production of Tesla, he still forced factory workers to work after the outbreak of the epidemic, and also used his public opinion influence to declare that the virus is not terrible. He also personally hyped bitcoin, which eventually left many people with no return, so that they were investigated.
There are many people who were fooled by Musk in the early days of China, such as when Tesla was first imported, it was not on the domestic new energy vehicle catalog, not only the sky-high price of imports, but also only on the blue card. Many people figure fresh to buy back, the result found that the endurance is poor, rough workmanship, skylight leakage is almost common disease, and then Model 3 domestic production, quickly killed to about 200,000, a group of people shouted that the leeks were cut.
It can be seen that whether it is Musk or Jia Yueting, their growth path is full of pitted believers, and these two people also engage in some "dream linkage" from time to time.
When Jia Yueting's FF was listed last year, Musk also personally congratulated him, saying that he had considered using "Faraday" as the name of his car company at that time, and he did not expect to be used by competitors. As a result, Lao Jia instantly felt sorry for each other, immediately forwarded and said that Tesla regarded FF as an opponent, saying that he and Musk were comrades in the development of human science, and said that in the eyes of the strong, there are only peers, there will be no opponents.
Well, I can only say that Musk is polite, and Old Jia is serious. It's just that from the perspective of the development of the two people today, it is somewhat regrettable. The mass production of FF is far away, but Tesla is still making great progress.
(2) Where did Jia Yueting lose, and where did Musk win?
Some people say that Jia Yueting is the most similar to Musk, but in fact, there is still a certain truth. But why the situation is different now, in fact, it is mainly two points, the environment and execution.
Let's first look at how Jia Yueting's LeTV collapsed, he spread a very large pie, constantly absorbing new funds to expand his business empire, and then it was exposed to financial fraud and directly collapsed. The next thing everyone knows, Lao Jia a move "golden cicada out of the shell", smoothly entered the next week's return period, and then we can only intermittently learn some of his information from the external network.
Jia Yueting has a nickname Plus Jia Accountant, in fact, he is indeed an accountant, which gives him a unique advantage in financial fraud, after all, it is his own "professional". But then again, if it wasn't fake, would there be a bubble as big as LeEco, and the answer is that it won't be at all. If he says that he has been losing money, it will not be on the market at all, and if LeEco discloses that he has been losing money, even if it is listed, it will not be long before it will be delisted. Therefore, it is not possible to fake, and it is not possible to counterfeit, in short, Lao Jia's set is not ok in China.
This is the current situation of the domestic capital market, and it is also the reason why companies such as JD.com and Ali must be listed outside the mainland. If Jia Yueting is in the United States, with his vision, and then find the right executor, maybe he is really successful, but unfortunately not if.
In addition to the large number of stalls, Jia Yueting also has a point that the conversion rate of achievements is too low. For example, the number of his FF patents is actually more in the same kind of start-up car companies, but he has never seen any results, only seen a joke that has been delayed in producing energy. For example, LeTV took away the copyright of a large number of high-quality literary and artistic works in its heyday, and it can be said that it completed the advance purchase and layout at a super low price, but in the end, because of its various riotous operations, it also did not make money.
This point Musk can be very different, his grasp of the opportunity is historical, the use of the US government to support the psychology of new energy to complete the transformation, and at the same time successfully incarnated into the "silver carp" that stirred the domestic market, becoming the only wholly foreign-owned enterprise, thus making a lot of money. Looking back, his cards may not be very good, but they are really good.
Including this time selected academician, he is also "famous", after all, it is in Tesla and SpaceX, but as CEO, chief engineer and other important positions, with their scientific and technological output, Musk as an academician is really deserved.
(3) Kung Fu shooting
Or have to say a word for Jia Yueting, he is not a simple liar, he really has something, but unfortunately his execution is too poor, coupled with the lack of time, and finally mixed into lao Lai, but also pit a lot of people. And Musk seems to be another aspect of Jia Yueting, he gathered the time and place, and finally achieved today's success.
But I have to say that for such a big fool of them, everyone still has to brighten their eyes. For example, if you turn the time back to 2019, whether you bought Tesla stock or bought Tesla's car, the ending is completely different.
