The Motherland Comes to the United States

Chapter 147 Give Musk a Little Shock in America

Bai Ye made a rainbow fart for Ivan Vanke, but in fact, Bai Ye believed from the bottom of his heart that it was impossible for Ivan Vanke to surpass Tony in upgrading the technology of steel armor.

His talent in machinery is still half behind Tony.

Not to mention, Ivan Vanke's talent in software is far behind Tony. At least Jarvis's strong artificial intelligence is definitely not something he can develop by himself.

Jarvis can not only help Tony in manipulating the Iron Armor, the key point is that Jarvis can also play a very important role for Tony in the field of scientific research, reducing most of the tedious and repetitive work in scientific research experiments, allowing Tony Can develop his brain more focused.

It can be said that the significance of strong artificial intelligence is not inferior to that of the Ark reactor.

Therefore, Ivan Vanke does not have the cooperation of top-level software like Jarvis. It is too difficult to surpass Tony. The progress of Tony's scientific research will only become faster and faster, and develop geometrically. It's the same as a supersonic fighter, but Ivan Vanke is still running a marathon in a satisfactory manner.

Of course, Baiye doesn't need Ivan Vanke to make a better steel armor than Tony, but he must have steel armor technology!
For the sake of...

Hit me the price of the Iron Armor!
Moreover, this is just a personal comparison between Ivan Vanke and Tony. As long as Ivan Vanke accepts it humbly, integrates the wisdom of others, and works together with the crowd, it will not necessarily be crushed by Tony.

For example, the technology of the Iron Armor may not be able to integrate with the Green Goblin Armor. The Green Goblin Armor's medical cabin technology, neural link technology and other biological technologies are all very good. Perhaps Ivan Vanke can How about merging and connecting to create a kind of bio-mechanical armor?

If Tony's Iron Armor has the medical cabin technology of the Green Goblin Armor, he will not be scared out of the psychological shadow when he carries the nuclear bomb to blow up the Chitauri, and he dare not even sleep. The technology of the medical cabin can even suppress the collapse of the gene, which is too frightening.

Furthermore, the battles of the Iron Armor are almost all fought by Jarvis. It looks powerful, but actually wearing it is similar to a living coffin. You can't feel the thrill of fighting. What is the difference from playing games with a remote control?The Green Goblin armor with neural link technology is different. The armor is a derivative of your body, which is controlled by you, similar to virtual reality.

Well, to use the most popular metaphor, the mechanical steel armor is the one that wears a cover, and the biological green goblin armor does not wear a cover. Which one is more comfortable to use?
"In order to celebrate the successful development of the Ark Reactor, tonight, I invite everyone to have an IM party."

After chatting with Ivan Vanke, Bai Ye clapped his hands and announced the matter to the employees.

"Whoa!!!"

The staff at the scene immediately exploded.

"Thank you boss!"

"Long live the boss!"

"I love you boss!"

Countless men of science and engineering took off their shirts and shook them wildly, blushing with excitement.

Don't think that men with science and engineering majors are honest people. In fact, news of executives in Silicon Valley holding im parties is not uncommon.

Most of the people working in Silicon Valley are high-tech people. They all earn a lot of money, many of them are corporate executives, and there are many millionaires with an annual salary of one million dollars. Didn't they make this money for nothing?

The tenderloin area near Chinatown in San Francisco is the famous red light district in Silicon Valley, maintaining the prosperity of San Francisco's custom industry.

For high-income groups in Silicon Valley, spending more money and enjoying better services is their goal. Therefore, the income level of seafood merchants here is also very high. US dollars, not a few.There are also some high-end seafood merchants who have earned $500 million in 1000 years.

……

After finishing the matter here at Venus Energy, Bai Ye came to Galaxy Capital.

He also had an appointment with David Solomon of Goldman Sachs.

"Little Mr. Osborne, we meet again."

On the building of Galaxy Capital, David Solomon came forward to greet Bai Ye with a smile.

"Mr. David, during this period of time, the cooperation with Goldman Sachs has been very pleasant. Maybe we can continue to cooperate."

Bai Ye stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, and shook hands with David Solomon in a gentle manner.

During this period, Sun Bank acquired many small banks because of its cooperation with Goldman Sachs. Today, Sun Bank is a medium-sized bank with more than US$40 billion in assets and more than US$300 billion in assets under custody.

If it weren't for the fact that Bai Ye wanted to acquire Mars Military Industry, and mobilized more than 100 billion U.S. dollars in cash from Galaxy Capital, now, with the help of Goldman Sachs, Sun Bank has probably acquired a medium-sized bank with self-owned assets of about 50 billion U.S. dollars, further expanding its scale up.

Now, Galaxy Capital's cash flow is a little short. Although Bai Ye's overseas account still has the 200 billion US dollars paid by Zheng Xian for the purchase of F22 technology, that money cannot be used indiscriminately. It must be laundered.

For big chaebols like Bai Ye and others, black money is not a big problem, and tax avoidance is not a problem, but if they are connected with Zheng Xian and his assets, the problem will easily become bigger. Once the specter of McCarthyism revives, maybe O The Spoons would have to be hung up to light sky lanterns.

Oh, maybe it could be Osborne I, the founding emperor of the Edenian Empire, arriving in his loyal DC area?

Therefore, not to mention Sun Bank's move to acquire other banks, even Bai Ye's move to acquire Twitter, they have to pause for a while, and wait until the 200 billion US dollars are cleaned up, and then talk about it after the wind has passed.

"It is an honor for us at Goldman Sachs to serve Mr. Osborne Jr."

David Solomon said with a bow.

Goldman Sachs helped Bank of the Sun acquire other banks, and they themselves did not make less money, not to mention that Bai Ye's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more companies are being acquired. This is a big piece of fat in their Goldman Sachs mouth. Well, if you hand over all those businesses to Goldman Sachs, he can just stick his butt towards Bai Ye.

"We have cooperated for so long, so it is not false." Bai Ye said with a smile: "I have a group of new companies to acquire, and I have enjoyed working with Goldman Sachs before. I hope Goldman Sachs will not let me down this time."

While talking, Bai Ye handed the note from Ivan Vanke to David Solomon.

David Solomon took a look and said with a wry smile:
"Master Osborne, you have found us some hard bones to chew on."

"And there are hard bones that you Goldman Sachs can't chew?"

Jordan laughed.

"It's not that it can't be chewed, but it's too difficult to chew." David Solomon pointed to the name of Boston Dynamics and said: "For example, this company is a company where conservatism prevails. They refuse any form of academic sharing and do not make it public. Any experimental data, they do not accept international, especially Chinese employees, even naturalization is useless, they exclude all non-native Americans, and while they have many cooperation projects with the military, they also make their company like a secret department Yes, you can imagine how difficult it is to forcibly acquire this company?"

Of course, Bai Ye knew what David Solomon said. Google was tortured by Boston Dynamics and almost had a nervous breakdown. In 1992, Boston Dynamics was spun off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and became a private company. Before being acquired by Google, it "survived" in military contracts for a long time. Boston Dynamics is clearly a military company, and Google is clearly Boston Dynamics, which spent $30 billion to acquire, wasted four years in the end and had to be sold to SoftBank for $4 million.

High emotional intelligence: The corporate culture of Boston Dynamics is too different from that of Google.

Low EQ: We can't command military enterprises.

Because this is not a commercial company at all, and they don’t care about your business logic. If you want your supercomputer, your technology, and your funds, you need to be confident, and you want technology from him?No!Want data?No!Want to plan?No!To obey company strategy?Think beautiful!Then I will send you a technical team, okay?no!What about finances?This person must be a Genzhengmiaohong American, and his personal resume must be as detailed as his grandparents, and both paternal and maternal lines must be native-born Americans.

This is not an acquisition, it's inviting an ancestor back for myself.

"If it's a soft persimmon, why should I entrust this task to Goldman Sachs?" Bai Ye said bluntly, "Just ask if Goldman Sachs can take this business? If not, I'll find someone else to do it."

"You can take it." David Solomon pondered for a while, and said, "But Goldman Sachs may have to share this business with other investment banks, because almost all of these companies have touched some sensitive departments more or less, and we need other people to share the pressure. .”

There is no way, generally, the real advanced technology is almost all first to bear fruit in the military field, and then slowly transition to the civilian field. The more than 20 companies that Ivan Vanke asked Bai Ye to acquire are almost all like this.

Perhaps because of Bai Ye's background, no one reviewed Bai Ye's qualifications to acquire these companies, but there were many cumbersome things, and it was difficult for Goldman Sachs to help Bai Ye complete the acquisition of these companies, which led them to share some of the fruits with their peers.

"Yes!" Bai Ye nodded: "I just want the result, as for the process, it doesn't matter, that is something that you, Goldman Sachs, will consider. In short, the cost of business consulting will not be less for you, Goldman Sachs."

When it was over, Bai Ye added one more point: "Bank of Sun will not stop preparing to acquire other banks, but because the capital chain is a little tight now, it will be postponed for a while."

David Solomon's eyes lit up when he heard it. Acquiring companies like Boston Dynamics is troublesome and can't make a lot of money, but if you buy a bank, you can easily make a lot of money. It is the fattest and most delicious beef tenderloin.

Bai Ye is using the carrot of acquiring banking business to hang Goldman Sachs, telling them to work faster, Bai Ye himself doesn't care, but Ivan Vanke doesn't seem like a patient person.

"Pleasant to work with."

"Pleasant to work with."

Witnessed by the lawyer, Bai Ye signed a contract with Goldman Sachs.

After the people from Goldman Sachs left, Bai Ye lit a cigarette and said to Jordan: "There is one more thing, let me tell you, the Stark Group will send people to form a business negotiation delegation with you, Go to Silicon Valley to negotiate a deal."

"what business?"

Jordan asked.

"A new energy vehicle company called 'Tesla', the acquisition plan, we take 40% of the shares, Stark Group takes 40% of the shares, leaving 20% ​​of the shares for the founders, and giving it a valuation... Bai Ye thought for a while: "Be generous, 6 million US dollars."

"No problem." Jordan nodded and said, "But young master, Galaxy Capital has not made any big moves for a long time, so why don't we do something next?"

"Hmm..." Bai Ye pondered for a moment, and said, "Recently, we are short of money. We need a lot of money in various directions. It seems that it is time to get another hand. How about this, you should pay more attention to the Japanese side during this time." The problem, if there is no accident, we will short the Japanese index next.”

"Master, the direction your sword is pointing at is my battlefield!"

Jordan was so excited that he patted his chest and made a promise to Bai Ye:
"I will definitely check it out for you!"

As the scale of the various companies under Bai Ye is getting bigger and bigger, now Jordan is getting more and more courageous. Before, he was worried that Bai Ye would go to Japan, and there would be some big incidents. Now, he is not afraid at all. Well, isn't it just a little Japan, that's what it does!
In essence, Japan is a dog raised in the United States. When the owner's family suffers from famine, the dog is slaughtered at any time to eat dog meat.

Why, the United States can eat dog meat, but we Osborne can't eat it?

……

night.

Bai Ye came to Betty's house.

As for the IM party of the engineers of Jinxing Energy, Bai Ye is definitely not interested in going to have fun with the people, he just gave his card to the executives for them to swipe.

Because Bai Ye had played a high-end game with Tony before, on Tony's "Stark" yacht, the women's worth started at least 10 US dollars, and the engineers' IM parties were estimated to start at 1000 US dollars. Give them money, and they don't know how to make it.

Maybe a seafood businessman who made $1000 is no different in appearance from a seafood businessman who started with $10, and may even be more beautiful, but the feeling is different.

One is the unknown practitioners all over the world, and the other is the little-known Hollywood actors, supermodels, and goddesses of the public. Can it be the same?

A $10 seafood businessman has already transcended the physical things, and has more spiritual enjoyment.

"What do you want to do again?"

Betty opened the door and saw that it was Bai Ye, and suddenly lost all the good mood of the day.

"It hurts me too much when you talk like that."

Holding the gift box in his hand, Bai Ye said:
"I'm here to give you a gift."

"Gift?"

Betty looked at Bai Ye suspiciously:

"What else can you give me?"

"Can't you just open it and see?"

Bai Ye put the big gift box in Betty's hand, and then he entered Betty's room as if he had returned to his own home.

He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and took a bottle of 2000 Hermann Reiss semi-dry white wine from the small wine cabinet in Betty's house.

Bai Ye sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and drank the red wine in the goblet in his hand, with a smile on his mouth, looking at Betty with bright eyes, and slowly opened the big gift box.

"Wedding dress? Why did you give me a wedding dress?" Betty looked at Bai Ye with a question mark on her head: "Do you mean to propose to me?"

"of course not!"

"That would be the best!" Betty said happily or sadly, "Anyway, don't dream, I can't choose to marry you!"

Bai Ye smiled slightly, and continued: "This is the Pronovias I specially ordered for you. Didn't you say that you and your ex-boyfriend Bruce Banner are true love? I just want you to try it in advance and wear it for him." The feel of a wedding dress."

Pronovias is the world's number one brand in the field of wedding dresses. It is a Barcelona brand. It ranks first in the world in hand-sewn wedding dresses. It is loved by many European royal families and is known as the king of lace.

The price of a wedding dress is between 600 and 12000 euros.

Bai Ye ordered this urgently for Betty, and it cost him 2 euros.

"Isn't there something wrong with your head?" Betty looked at Bai Ye strangely and said, "I remember that you men are very possessive? Don't ask me to cut off contact with Bruce, but also kindly help me and him Shopping for a wedding dress?"

"Because I'm a kind person, can't I?" Bai Ye said nonsense in a serious manner, and simply said: "I'm not that kind of selfish paranoid. If you love someone, you don't have to possess her. On the contrary, if you love her, you will give her Freedom... how can I bear to blame you for making a mistake? I gave you too much freedom!"

"I don't believe you are this kind of person!" Betty looked at Bai Ye vigilantly: "You don't have any bad ideas, do you?"

"What bad thoughts can I have?" Bai Ye laughed and said, "I specially made a wedding dress for you at a huge price! You can change it and try it out first. If it doesn't fit, I'll ask someone to change it for you. Anyway, I feel You will look beautiful in it."

Under Bai Ye's urging, Betty still changed into this wedding dress.

The wedding dress exudes white light, as pure and flawless as the first snow in winter.

Betty's snow-like skin was extraordinarily dazzling on the wedding dress through the crystal tassels. Under the light, her eyes shone like stars, and her hair hung down like black waterfalls.

There is a taste of a pure and flawless married bride.

"How about it?"

Betty showed it unconfidently in front of Bai Ye.

"very beautiful!"

Bai Ye nodded affirmatively:
"If it weren't for the fact that the man you really love is Bruce Banner, I would have thought of marrying you."

"That's impossible. I already belong."

Betty snorted softly and said.

"Oh, if you Jiangzi talk..." Bai Ye sighed: "Then my heart is icy!"

"Stop talking, come and have a drink with me."

Bai Ye also poured a glass of wine for Betty.

Betty hesitated for a moment, seeing Bai Ye's appearance of drinking in sorrow, she still looked like a lady, sat down on the other corner of the sofa, and had two drinks with Bai Ye.

In fact, if Bai Ye didn't do so many bastard things, in Betty's eyes, he would still be quite an attractive man.

He looks very handsome, at least much handsomer than Bruce Banner, and in terms of talent... During this period of in-depth contact with Bai Ye, Betty also discovered that Bai Ye does not seem to be a worthless dude in the eyes of many people, at least Bai Ye's business talent Yes, he is almost building a business matrix, Galaxy Capital, Sun Bank, Mars Military Industry, Venus Energy... In addition to his bad personality, he also seems to be a very good man.

The two just chatted a few words while drinking wine.

Just drinking like this, Betty didn't know when she drank herself dizzy.

She heard Bai Ye's excited laughter: Did you see the photo of you and Bruce Banner here?Aren't you two really in love?Let him save you.Let him take you out of my clutches?
Cosplay?

Betty, who was wearing a wedding dress, felt as if she had also entered the drama under Bai Ye's "teaching", crying loudly: "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow? Me! Hit him for me!"

Well, the last time I played with Aunt Mei, Bai Ye felt a little addicted, so I came to play with Betty again, I have to say, it was really fun!

So exciting!
Bai Ye was having fun with Betty when his cell phone rang again.

"Damn it, I forgot to turn off my phone again, who is it? Always bothering me at this time?"

Bai Ye complained.

But before Ivan Vanke made a second-generation Ark reactor, when he reported to him, he was busy riding someone else's bicycle, and his mobile phone was really bad and turned off immediately.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Jordan said: "Master, this afternoon, our business delegation had contact with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. Now Tesla is also very short of money. Elon Musk welcomes our interest in Tesla. financial investment, but he does not accept a transfer of control of Tesla."

In Baiye’s original universe, 08 was also the year of Mercury retrograde for Musk. He encountered problems such as the failure of SpaceX’s first three rocket launches, Tesla’s insufficient financing, and his marriage hit the rocks. If he is not careful, he may go bankrupt.

The Marvel world is now also in 08, and Tesla has encountered similar problems. Due to the wrong estimate of the cost of Tesla’s new car and urgent need for funds, Musk invested all his last 4000 million US dollars in Tesla, and also It’s far from enough. If Daimler hadn’t reached out and helped Musk, it’s really hard to say whether Tesla can still exist.

Now is the time when Tesla has not yet found Daimler, the white knight.

Bai Ye said impatiently: "In other words, this person rejected our kindness?"

"Uh..." Jordan said, "In a sense, yes."

"Then what else is there to say? Fuck him!" Bai Ye sneered and said, "Didn't I let Tian Yangsheng follow you when you left? At this time, it's time for him to show his strength." It works. Find a horse, cut off the horse’s head, and send it to Musk’s bed. I want him to feel the shock from the United States. Otherwise, he may really think that the United States is a paradise of freedom and democracy. lighthouse."

You, a North African, want to make money in the United States, how dare you not pay protection fees to the big benefactor?Then we have to give you a little American shock.
