448: Chapter 68 The Magnificent Magical Fairy Tale World Outside the Window_2 448: Chapter 68 The Magnificent Magical Fairy Tale World Outside the Window_2 Cheng Daqi believed that the opportunity would always appear; he just needed to be well-prepared.

————————————

“Is this house yours or are you renting it?”

CEO Cheng helped Lisa organize the storage shelves and asked casually.

“Ah?

Is that important?”

The blonde thought Cheng Daqi was being a bit presumptuous today.

“I came here to help you move, just curious, that’s all.”

Cheng Daqi picked up a tennis racket, posed as though about to hit a ball, and swung it.

“I didn’t ask you to come, hmph, I’m renting this place.

Got a problem with that?”

The blonde couldn’t stand it when some idiot who didn’t understand tennis messed with her gear and snatched the racket back from CEO Cheng’s hands.

CEO Cheng, who received a glare from the blonde, was a bit confused and he explained,

“I’m worried about you buying a house; you should be putting all your money into Tesla right now, the returns are much higher than buying property.

As for coming over to help you move, it’s because I was worried that moving would take up your time; don’t misunderstand.”

Lisa, of course, didn’t misunderstand, but she did think CEO Cheng was being a bit odd.

“You’re that optimistic about Tesla?”

Cheng Daqi opened the fridge and grabbed a cola, took a sip, it wasn’t cold, disappointing.

“Don’t you distrust my business acumen?”

Lisa replied with an odd expression.

“I don’t trust that you can grow MAS into a billion-Dollar business, but I do trust that you can bamboozle investors into giving it a valuation of several tens of millions of Dollars.”

“honey, it sounds like you just insulted yourself, and you inadvertently insulted Mi’er, too; you are both my investors.”

“Don’t worry, on this note, Mi’er’s and my thoughts are quite similar; we both trust in your ability to charm people.”

“I’m hurt; recommending Tesla to you is not a ruse.

Didn’t Mi’er immediately go all-in with leverage at the time?”

“That’s a different story, Chan, I think Tesla might at most double.”

“Based on what?”

“emmm, its costs are high, battery costs, operating costs, and so on.”

“Wrong, cost doesn’t have that much to do with stock prices; and you asked why I’m optimistic about Tesla.

This kind of optimism isn’t just about the stock price but other factors as well.”

“Such as?”

The blonde saw off the moving workers, closed the door, returned to the living room, and sat opposite Cheng Daqi.

“Do you know why oil is so important?”

Cheng Daqi actually started talking about oil, and Lisa realized he would probably explain Tesla’s value from the perspective of the significance of transitioning from oil to electric power.

“Oil settlement can affect the liquidity of the US Dollar in the world.

After the US Dollar is tied to oil, oil eventually becomes increasingly significant to maintain the stability of the US Dollar.

How’s my understanding?”

The girl raised her eyebrows at CEO Cheng, clearly confident that her understanding was correct.

“It’s just superficial, do you know who you sound like now?”

Cheng Daqi held up a can of soda with one hand, posing as if holding a wine glass, and even clinked it against the air.

“Like who?”

“Like the captain who hit the iceberg with the Titanic; you only see the ice above the surface but fail to spot the mountain hidden beneath the water.”

“Chan, are you calling me stupid?”

After a quiet two seconds, CEO Cheng replied with a smile,

“Of course not.”

The blonde pouted, her eyes full of distrust; obviously, she didn’t believe CEO Cheng wasn’t insulting her.

“You’d better give a good explanation, or I’ll work an extra month at MAS and charge you thirty thousand Dollars in overtime pay!”

Well, that certainly was a kind of threat CEO Cheng had never heard before, he replied with a laugh and a bit of helplessness,

“Modern industry requires electricity, transport, and materials; oil serves as both fuel and a material, hence it’s called the lifeblood of industry.

Because it is the lifeblood of industry, when America established the ‘petrodollar’ system, the US Dollar gradually became the leading currency in the world.

But when smart cars, or ‘electric cars,’ become more common, the value of oil as a fuel will gradually diminish; this trend is inevitable.”

CEO Cheng’s explanation wasn’t complicated, and Lisa only thought for a moment before she found a loophole.

“Firstly, there are many types of fuel oils, and electric cars can’t replace many specialized vehicles, plus the batteries of electric cars have a lifespan.

Secondly, even if the future trend of cars truly is smart technology—and I actually believe this—gas cars can also be smart, just maybe not as fast as Tesla.

Thirdly, even if I’m wrong on the first two points, oil itself is a raw material for various industrial products…

Ah, I’m wrong, you weren’t talking about this.”

She started off strong but ended up looking like a fool; CEO Cheng indeed hadn’t said that oil was finished.

Lisa felt a bit embarrassed, but Cheng Daqi was quite satisfied; his right-hand woman was not lacking in ability.

“The upper limit of battery life isn’t important; most electric cars will be scrapped before they reach their battery life limit, and in the future, battery costs will also go down.

As for smart cars not necessarily being electric, you might not follow the automotive industry, so you might not understand.

Traditional gas cars rely on batteries for electric power, and there’s a limit to the smart devices they can support.

The electric car market will continue to develop in the future, with more and more intelligent devices becoming common.

The large batteries in electric cars can support more smart devices; on this point alone, mass-produced gas cars would find it difficult to exceed electric cars in terms of intelligence.”

“That’s not right!

Tesla’s attempts at smart technology are crap, and the future of smart cars is still far away, and besides, gas cars can also be fitted with batteries…”

Cheng Daqi just watched Lisa quietly, waiting for her to continue, but the blonde couldn’t go on.

With one sentence, she overturned her own firmly held views, which was quite embarrassing.
