The Motherland Comes to the United States

Chapter 148 Shushu I Duck, Washing is Coming
"I need to teach you such a trivial matter... Then what do I raise you for?"

Bai Ye scolded Jordan head and face, and then hung up the phone.

Jordan, who was in Silicon Valley, was ashamed for a while.

As for the resentment caused by being scolded... there is no such thing as Bai Ye can make him tens of millions of dollars a year, what's wrong with scolding him?He was only afraid of getting angry with the young master's body.

"A bunch of trash!"

Bai Ye threw the phone out, then hugged Betty in the wedding dress to her lap, and said:
"Come on, baby, let's continue. You can close your eyes and imagine me as Bruce Banner, and recall his voice, appearance, and those beautiful pictures you once had..."

"The one who reaches out to caress you now is Bruce Banner, and the one who kisses your lips is also Bruce Banner..."

Betty also became more and more involved in this cosplay, hugging Bai Ye's neck with her backhand, and began to kiss Bai Ye back.

The two had a great time, and it wasn't until dawn that the lights at Betty's house were turned off.

……

The next day.

Villa No. 10924, Chalon Road, surrounded by lush bushes, with good privacy.

The mansion has an interior area of ​​20248 square feet and is designed in the style of a French country manor. It has a total of 7 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, as well as a wine cellar and a two-story library.

Not only is the indoor area large, but it also has nearly 1.7 acres of outdoor space, not only a private gym and five garages, but also an outdoor swimming pool and spa.

This is the home of Silicon Valley rookie Elon Musk, a rented house.

7:[-] am.

Elon Musk woke up on time.

Immediately, he felt his hands were greasy.

Elon Musk lifted the quilt in doubt, took out his hand, and suddenly found that his hand was covered with blood.

"what?"

Elon Musk is a little confused. Could it be that his anxiety these days has caused him to have a blood collapse?

He continued to pull the quilt down.

Then he found a chopped off horse's head on his bed...

He stared blankly at the horse's head, with only one thought in his mind:
"An offer you can't refuse?"

This was the darkest year in Musk’s life. Tesla suffered a huge financial deficit, SpaceX failed to launch three times, followed by overwhelming financial crises, as well as divorce, employee resignation, and ridicule from the outside world tormented him. .

It’s like the “Tesla’s Death Countdown” column on the “Auto Truth” website, like watching a joke, waiting for Tesla to die, and there were even 50 articles talking about Tesla’s demise in one day.Some internal employees of Tesla even broke the news, saying that Tesla deceived the masses and all the cash for the order was squandered... That year, Musk felt that he had become a target of public criticism.

It's just that Musk didn't expect that he was in such a miserable situation, and there were still people coming to bully him.

"How to do?"

Musk is also a mortal, and he is also afraid of death. Faced with such drastic measures, he would also be afraid of being hit by a dump truck and die on the street. It is normal to feel fear.

He tried to suppress his fear and began to think about who the other party was?
Musk recalled all the enemies in his life, and finally locked the murderer, Osborn and Stark who came to negotiate with him yesterday afternoon, he originally wanted to use his excellent negotiating skills to let Osborn and Stark He could buy a stake in Tesla, but they wanted to swallow Tesla in one bite, and he eventually rejected the acquisition.

Osborne is the strongest medical complex in the United States, and Stark is the strongest military-industrial complex in the United States. They both belong to behemoths with a license to kill. If you want to deal with him for this, a little Elon Musk, and then Normal and simple.

"Isn't it? Didn't you just reject your request to acquire Tesla as a whole? Just use this method to threaten me, and you two giants think too highly of me, right?" Musk wanted to cry without tears: "Tesla Ra is just a little Karami worth hundreds of millions of dollars!"

To be honest, the market value of Tesla is estimated to be just one day’s turnover of Osborne Group and Stark Group. Musk remembers that Osborne Group’s revenue last year was more than 800 billion US dollars, and the daily turnover was almost 3 Billion dollars, he couldn't figure it out at all, where did Tesla attract these two giants, so that they showed such an inevitable trend?
And Musk understands even more, if he dares not to agree to the acquisition invitation, then the mouse and the duck will be wiped out!

What people cut off today is the horse's head, and tomorrow it will be his head.

He calmly called the servant, cleaned the room, took a shower, drank a cup of coffee, ate some egg rolls, and drove to Tesla headquarters in Palo Alto. On the way, he called Jordan:
"Mr. Belfort, after a night of careful thinking, I have decided to agree to your acquisition offer. In addition, I have to discuss it with other shareholders."

"No problem." Jordan said with a hearty smile: "Mr. Musk, we have a happy cooperation. Please rest assured that we will give you a satisfactory valuation."

After hanging up the phone, Musk couldn't help but slapped the steering wheel and cursed "fuck!".

Originally, Tesla was a very important part of his business puzzle. Even though he was almost at the end of his life, he never thought about giving up control of Tesla. Now he is being bought and sold by force, so he can be happy. Strange.

But what can be done?

The arm can't twist the thigh.

Not to mention him, how many people in the United States can withstand the pressure exerted by Osborn and Stark at the same time?
The matter of Tesla has been tossing for two days. In the end, Stark Group and Venus Energy packaged and acquired Tesla at a valuation of US$6 million, and Tesla’s early investors, including Google’s Larry Page , Sergey Brin, and Jeff Skoll of ebay, seven early investors in Tesla didn't dare to fart, and took several times the return and left.

After signing the contract, while Musk was disappointed, he was also relieved, because this acquisition allowed him to get close to 2 million US dollars in cash, lost Tesla, and his other company, Space X, was saved.

In fact, he still values ​​Space X more than Tesla.

"Belfort, please send my regards to Mr. Osborne Jr. and Mr. Stark. Tesla will be handed over to you in the future."

Musk bowed to Jordan and was about to leave. After all, this is Tesla's headquarters and it no longer belongs to him.

Jordan stopped him and said with a smile: "Mr. Musk, don't worry, this business is over, we still have other business to continue talking about."

"Other business?"

Musk wondered.

Don't you mean Space X?
shit!

If you rob Tesla and still rob Space X, then I... I will... I have no choice but to follow you.

God!

Don't they all say that America is a paradise of freedom and democracy?How could there be such shameless things as Osborn and Stark, driving me to death alone!

Jordan said slowly: "We invite Mr. Musk to continue as Tesla's CEO and give you 20% of the management shares."

"what?"

Musk looked at Jordan with a black question mark on his head.

You snatched the Tesla from me, and then invited me to be the CEO of Tesla. What is the difference between taking off your pants and farting?

Jordan saw Musk's doubts, and explained with a smile: "Maybe Mr. Musk was too anxious during this time, so that he forgot to watch more news. Have you seen the video of Tony Stark fighting in a mech?" ?Stark and our Venus Energy have broken through cold nuclear fusion technology and completed a new energy revolution. From then on, the human world can slowly abandon fossil energy and use this clean energy produced by us. It’s just Mr. Musk Maybe you also understand how much power the American energy giants have to speak, even Osborne and Stark cannot forcefully promote new energy standards immediately, unless we are willing to hand over the technology to share."

"Of course this is impossible! This new type of energy is too important. According to the wishes of Mr. Stark and Mr. Osborne, they are unwilling to use this new type of energy in war. Then in order to break through the blockade of the energy giant , we can only choose emerging industries to start business, and new energy vehicles are one of the industries they have chosen. In order to save time and accumulate strength to promote new energy standards as soon as possible, they selected Tesla, the leader in new energy vehicles, and Mr. Osborne valued your management skills, Mr. Musk, and he persuaded Mr. Stark to hire you as Tesla’s CEO.”

He looked at Musk whose body was gradually shaking: "Yes, Mr. Musk, you guessed it right, Tesla will use cold nuclear fusion energy next, which is the biggest obstacle restricting the development of new energy vehicles. No longer exists! To be honest, if Venus Energy and Stark Group were not willing to acquire Tesla, then when we officially announced our entry into the new energy vehicle industry, Tesla would immediately become a trash abandoned by the times.”

Musk knows that Jordan is right. Without the black technology of Stark and Osborne, even in another 20 years, the biggest obstacle to the development of new energy vehicles is the cruising range. Now it is different. The energy used to support mecha battles is used to support the battery life of new energy vehicles. This is a blow to dimensionality reduction.

"So Mr. Musk, are you willing to take this position?" Jordan smiled.

"I...will!"

Musk thought for a long time and chose to nod.

Such a fool is unwilling. Before that, his shares in Tesla were only a little over 30%. Now he has received nearly 2 million US dollars in cash, and he has returned to serve as a super company with two backers behind him. The CEO of Tesla can still own 20% of the management shares, which is really cool, isn't it?

Of course, he also knows that the 20% of the shares are not easy to get, and there must be restrictions such as performance requirements, but it is already much more than what he got in Tesla, which owns 30% of the shares. The Tesla of cold nuclear fusion energy is regarded as a heifer flying on a plane, so awesome, okay?The cake has grown dozens of times in size!

As for the addition of two big financial backers who cannot be violated, after Musk thought about it, he didn’t care so much about it. These days, Silicon Valley’s business, especially those who can make the business bigger, how could there not be a few big money behind them? Funder?

Even Google, with its "Don't Be Evil" slogan, presents itself as a friendly, hip, human tech company that has built its reputation on a combination of skill, luck, and genuine innovation.This is true, but only part of the story.In fact, Google is a smokescreen lurking behind America's military-industrial complex.

The CIA's Highland Forum partly funded Sergey Brin and Larry Page when they worked together to develop Google.

Based on the concept of "mass surveillance as the main way to obtain information on a global scale", in the name of the joint project "CIA-National Security Agency of the United States-Massive Digital Data System", Google has also been subject to subsequent requests from the Pentagon, the CIA, and the National Security Agency. "Substantial" seed funding and oversight from the Security Agency and DARPA.

There is no doubt that Google has a strong background in the American military.

And Google did not disappoint the fathers of the funders. Through the Project Maven plan, it helped the U.S. drones develop artificial intelligence image recognition software, and "won the war between computer algorithms and artificial intelligence" by improving the U.S. military's ability to analyze UAV videos. .

Despite the collective opposition of employees, in fact, Project Maven has not been revoked.Even Google will continue to provide services to the Department of Defense until the day the contract expires in 2019.

Therefore, if a reborn person thinks that he can acquire this company for his own use in the initial stage of Google's launch, it is purely dreaming, at most make some financial investment, get some money, and hurry up when it's time to slip Slip, otherwise people will die, and Google shares will not know where to go.Without strength, purely rich, just a pig waiting to be slaughtered.

Musk now feels that even the "light of humanity" Google has done a lot of dirty things behind the back of the big benefactor. No matter how bad the two big benefactors behind him are, can they be worse than the big benefactors behind Google?

"OK."

Jordan nodded with a smile and said:
"Since you have accepted this position, Mr. Musk, please rest assured that engineers from Stark Group and Venus Energy will be stationed in Tesla soon to help you complete the transformation of Tesla."

Musk accepted the fate of being a younger brother, changed his mind, and soon became excited. With the blessing of cold nuclear fusion technology, he had too many plans in his mind to make money for Tesla.

Blessed to the soul.

Musk asked Jordan: "Can I go to New York to visit Mr. Osborne Jr. and Mr. Stark?"

Jordan glanced at Musk in surprise. This person's attitude switch is too smooth, no good, he won't be snatched away by him as the number one younger brother under his master's command, right?
"I need to call and ask."

Jordan hesitated slightly, picked up the phone and called Bai Ye, and nodded towards Musk for a moment:
"The young master said yes."

Ever since, when Jordan and the others returned, they bought an extra ticket for Musk.

Coming out of Kennedy Airport, Jordan came all the way to Venus Energy Company.

After entering the company, Jordan and Musk came to the laboratory of the Ark Reactor after a body search and investigation.

"Master, live up to your expectations, I'm back."

Jordan stepped forward with a smile.

"Very good, your bonus is doubled this month."

Bai Ye also pulled away from watching Ivan Vanke's Ark reactor manufacturing process, saw Jordan and Musk, and laughed.

"Hi, Master Osborne, I'm Elon Musk."

Musk hurried forward to say hello, bowed slightly, and put his posture very low.

"You are Musk? Yes, you have done a good job." Bai Ye reached out and patted Musk on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "To be able to come to the United States from a North African with nothing to do such a big business, It's really not easy."

Musk had a sore nose and almost shed tears.

It was really not easy for him to walk this way. His father was a bankrupt domestic violence man. Apart from raising him, he hardly gave him any financial support. When he came to the United States, at the age of 17, he lived in a youth I worked in a hostel, did various odd jobs, and saw wood on a relative’s farm for several months.

I didn't expect the big benefactor to care about his little things... It's touching.

Bai Ye: "But it will be different in the future. I am optimistic about you. The next richest man in the world, I think it will be you."

"No, no, what can I do to snatch this position for you, Master Osborne?" Musk waved his hand quickly.

"I'm too lazy to be the richest man in the world! I think Tony probably thinks similarly, this world is still yours after all!"

Bai Ye shrugged.

Musk thinks about it, and feels the same. Plutocrats like Osborne and Stark have long disdain to compete for the title of the richest man in the world. What they want is actual power.

Just like the DuPont family, the Rockefeller family, and the Morgan family, there are almost no names of these people on the world's richest list, but in the American elite, who can ignore the existence of these families?
The right to speak is in the hands of others!

People just want to keep a low profile, so they don't like publicity.

"This is the Ark Reactor that can set off a new round of energy revolution, take a look?"

Bai Ye handed an Ark reactor to Musk.

Musk took over the Ark reactor emitting a faint blue light in a hurry, and said carefully:
"Isn't this thing radioactive?"

"The Ark Reactor is made with palladium as the core, and palladium is not radioactive. This thing is quite stable. Even if you smash it with a hammer, it won't explode like a nuclear bomb."

Bai Ye snapped his fingers, called Ivan Vanke who was playing with the birds over there, and said:

"Ivan, let's explain to Musk how the Ark reactor works."

"There are so many things!"

Ivan Vanke rolled his eyes, but he didn't refuse. With a cold face and a very bad tone, he did a science popularization with Musk.

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Musk could understand or not, he left on his own.

"This employee... really has character!"

Musk said sarcastically.

"If you can independently develop this Ark reactor, maybe you have more personality than him." Bai Ye smiled and said, "For those who are capable, we tend to be more tolerant."

After listening to Ivan Vanke's explanation, Musk also had a written report in his hand. After reading it carefully, he found that this Ark reactor is indeed genuine cold nuclear fusion, a new energy revolution that can start a new round. great creation.

It is really hard to imagine, with the current underlying technology, how did it break through such a great technology?

It simply does not conform to the rules of technological development.

And after he confirmed the data of the Ark reactor, there were countless ways in his mind that he could use the Ark reactor to make a fortune.

"awesome!"

Musk held the Ark reactor full of praise:
"Tesla has the blessing of technology like the Ark reactor. I really can't imagine what else in this world can stop Tesla's growth."

"Don't underestimate the counterattack of energy giants and auto capital. Maybe they can't stop the vigorous growth of new energy vehicles, but they can delay our time. What we lack most at this time is time." Bai Ye said: "Little Ma, I came up with a good idea for Tesla. For example, let's make Tesla's patents public so that all new energy vehicle companies can use them for free. What do you think?"

"what?"

Musk was shocked:

"Master Osborne, if all Tesla's patents are disclosed, what competitive advantage will Tesla have in the future?"

"Restricting the development of the industry by applying for patents is a game for the weak! Real technology companies don't bother to do this. They only need to formulate industry standards." Bai Ye said disdainfully: "Little Ma, you should enlarge your layout. Tesla's real competitors do not come from other electric vehicle manufacturers, but traditional fuel vehicles and energy giants, so we need to make the cake of new energy vehicles bigger. By opening up Tesla's technology patents, we can encourage other Automakers have entered into pure electric vehicles to promote the development and popularization of electric vehicle technology. Kidnapping more interests and capital, help us fight against those vested interests!"

Musk thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that Bai Ye's idea was wonderful, it was a stroke of genius.

That's right, now that Tesla is the leader in new energy vehicles, the thing to consider at the beginning is not just to stick to its advantages, but to create ecology and set industry standards.

"Of course, we open source Tesla's technology. Those companies that want to use Tesla's technology will also use their technology for free. This is a good way for everyone to develop and progress together."

Bai Ye added.

Musk looked at Bai Ye with admiration. Although this young master is younger than him, his business sense and strategic vision are obviously stronger than him!

We chatted for a long time.

Bai Ye said again: "Little Ma, I heard that your Space X has also encountered some troubles? Then I can help you a little bit, as you know, the Stark Group also has a dominant position in the aerospace industry , I have already discussed with Tony that we can jointly invest 10 billion US dollars in your Space X, and in addition, the Stark Group will open up a part of the licensing of rocket and satellite technology for Space X, what do you think?"

how about it?
Musk was so excited that he was about to cry. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, he really wanted to give Bai Ye a shot. Bai Ye would solve all the problems that bothered him: What's wrong with being a dog to my brother?
