Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 249 Starship Base!Become a shareholder of Tesla again, the third largest shareholder!

In the early morning, the sky is slightly light blue, with a hint of haze looming.

The breeze was blowing, and there was a cool breath, and the sun shone through the clouds among the lush branches and leaves, and was torn apart.

Chen Heyu breathed steadily, walked vigorously, and ran slowly along the tree-lined path.

Half an hour later, after completing the ten-kilometer clock-in, fine beads of sweat gradually ooze from his forehead. He subconsciously flipped through the panel, saw the newly added energy value, and unconsciously showed a satisfied smile.

When I returned to the room again, it was empty.

The business card on the coffee table disappeared, and a faint fragrance remained in the air, lingering in the breath.

Chen Heyu laughed, suppressed his thoughts, went into the bathroom to rinse, changed into a high-end suit, and appeared in front of the mirror.

He has a tall and well-proportioned figure, slightly broad shoulders, delicate facial features with a little edge, and deep eyes that reveal wisdom and determination, as if they can penetrate people's hearts.

The thick eyebrows were raised, and the corners of the mouth curled up into a faint smile.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Crunch"!
Chen Heyu opened the door and saw Zhou Xiaoyu dressed neatly. He couldn't help but tease: "Mr. Zhou was really good at drinking last night. He knocked down several foreigners. Do you want to take a day off first?"

"No, no, you're in good spirits."

Lao Zhou smiled awkwardly. He originally planned to block the drink for the boss, but he never thought that it was himself who got down.

"I'm getting older, drink less next time, no one will care about this kind of social occasion."

Chen Heyu patted the other person on the shoulder, and comforted him in a gentle voice.

"Yes, thank you boss for your concern."

Zhou Xiaoyu nodded, followed Chen Heyu, and walked towards the hall together.

"Morning!

Chen, today I can accompany you to visit Space M's starship base. There is plenty of time, and you can have breakfast first. "

Musk sat on the sofa, holding a cup of warm coffee, and greeted with a smile.

"It's troublesome."

Chen Heyu replied lightly.

Glancing at the dining table, there are sumptuous food, including steak, oatmeal, bread, fruit, coffee, and milk.

He took one at random and sat down to enjoy it quietly.

On the side, Lao Zhou and Musk chatted about the valuation of Tesla, but due to different opinions, they were at a stalemate for a while.

Seeing this, Chen Heyu interrupted the two of them.

"Don't worry about financing, let the professional financial audit department do it."

He gave Zhou Xiaoyu a look, and the other party understood in seconds that some things should not be rushed, especially important investment behaviors.

Subsequently.

A group of people set off and drove to the airport.

Chen Heyu and Musk shared a car. During the chat, they talked about the equity structure of Space M and the big bosses behind it.

"Although the shareholding ratio of PLSA Aerospace Division is low, frankly speaking, without their support, Space M would hardly be where it is today."

Musk shrugged, looking helpless.

In the first few years, Space M’s rocket launches were horrific, with a success rate of basically zero. It was not until Falcon 0 version 9 that it barely gained a foothold.

Most of the private aerospace companies established together with Space M were shot dead in the bud because of financial or technical obstacles.

Under such circumstances, PLSA Space Division threw an olive branch and sent a purchase order, and Musk naturally readily agreed.

On the surface, Space M does not directly use the technology of PLSA Space Division.

In fact, from the beginning of its establishment, a large number of researchers from PLSA Space Division have joined the company to help Space M complete the construction of talent reserve, technology accumulation and supply chain system.

Otherwise, like a tree without roots, like a boat sailing in the fog, where will there be opportunities for growth?

"The idea of ​​equity participation is just a whim. You don't have to pay too much attention to it. After all, my main business is artificial intelligence and chip semiconductors."

Chen Heyu said calmly.

In order to dispel Musk's defensiveness!
Space M's starship base is located in southern Texas, surrounded by inaccessible people and away from bustling cities, which can effectively prevent industrial pollution and minimize accidents.

It is more than 1000 kilometers away from the Golden State. It is unrealistic to drive there, and it will take three days to delay every time you go back and forth.

Therefore, everyone arrived at the airport, took Musk's private jet, and flew directly to Texas.

Two hours later, they landed safely, transferred to a car, and headed south all the way to the Starship Base in the Bihai Sea of ​​Cale.

After a while, the outlines of two super-heavy booster No. 4 rockets gradually appeared in sight.

As the distance drew closer, Chen Heyu's breath sank, only to feel that there were two steel behemoths standing beside the launch pad in the distance, shining brightly under the sun.

"Rocket 4 uses 29 to 33 Raptor engines, and there are sensors and latches hanging around it, so that it can be hooked by Mechazilla's robotic arm during recovery.

In addition, it has a battery for the electric drive device, which allows the mesh fins to work for an additional 2 minutes or so when landing..."

Musk introduced excitedly.

Chen Heyu nodded frequently, and became very interested in the Raptor engine. Under the other party's explanation, he quickly figured out the design principle.

This engine uses liquid oxygen (LOX) and methane (CH4) as fuel, and belongs to the combustion propulsion cycle engine, which can effectively increase the load capacity and reduce the manufacturing cost per ton.

The full-bleed nozzle design can maximize the exhaust velocity and thrust.

Using fuel pre-mixing and high-temperature combustion technology, the thrust of a single engine exceeds 200 tons.

"This is really a good thing!"

Chen Heyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a look of excitement flashed in his eyes, wishing to get it in his pocket immediately.

"I just don't know, if this thing is installed on an Airbus, will it work?"

He thought to himself.

Looking at the launch base that is close at hand, hundreds of workers are in a hurry, and the noise of heavy machinery can be heard in their ears. A huge and modern launch tower towers into the sky.

"Chen, the destination is here, welcome to the Space M starship base.

If the cost per ton of orbiting can be increased to a point where it can be afforded, humanity will become a space race civilization and a multi-planetary species..."

Musk's mental state is completely different from what he showed at the Tesla headquarters yesterday, with his chest fluctuating and his expression highly excited.

"Oh? Then I wish you success."

Chen Heyu said in a deep voice, not forgetting to observe the surrounding environment.

The command center, control room, and studio in front of him are still waiting for him to explore, and they don't have much to say about Musk's boasting.

"It will be successful, I am confident."

Musk said firmly, dragging Chen Heyu into the interior of the base, where engineers and technicians could be seen shuttling through it, doing assembly and maintenance work.

All kinds of high-tech equipment and robotic arms are waving in the air to detect and debug various parts of the spacecraft. The whole process is precise and rigorous.

A safety protection area is set up on the periphery to protect the safety of core facilities and personnel. A circle of tall fences and a modern security system have been built.

"Call Pullman over here!"

Musk said to the secretary beside him.

"Yes, boss."

The secretary responded immediately.

Then, Musk invited Chen Heyu to go to the research room. Most people saw him, but only lightly gestured, and did not interrupt their work.

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man walked in, about 40 years old, with short chestnut hair and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

"Chen, this is Pullman, the chief engineer of the Raptor engine and former dynamics expert of PLSA Space Division."

Musk got up and introduced.

"Pullman, Chen is my good friend, the boss of Future Technology, and the core shareholder of Tesla."

He went on to add, stepping back after speaking, with a veiled emotion on his face.

"Chinese?"

Pullman raised his head, looked at Chen Heyu with a haughty attitude, and asked cautiously.

"What happened to the Chinese people?"

Chen Heyu stared blankly, he saw the other party's disdain and defense, and immediately replied.

Looking sideways, I saw Musk's expression, and when I turned my mind, I understood the other party's intentions.

"I just didn't expect that the boss would hang out with a Chinese businessman, you know, this is about the most cutting-edge technology in the aerospace field of the beautiful country.

Let me guess, what is your purpose?Do you want to steal rocket manufacturing technology? "

Pullman crossed his arms and asked in a cold voice, without any scruples about Musk's existence.

"Shit! Pullman, Chen is my most honored guest, and I ask you to apologize immediately!"

Musk blushed and reprimanded loudly.

This man is simply lawless, doesn't he know that he can get paid on time every week, relying on Elon Musk, not some shit aerospace company?

"I don't think I'm wrong!"

Pullman was stubborn and had a tough attitude.

"You're fired, now get out!"

Musk smiled, said lightly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this idea finally came true.

"You can't do this, I'm going to the union to sue you, complain to PLSA!."

Pullman suddenly became angry, with an expression of disbelief on his face, and shouted loudly.

"Security, please ask him out."

Musk waved his hand, and several tall and strong white men dragged the "former" chief engineer away, like pulling a dead dog.

"Are you sure there is no problem?"

Chen Heyu revealed a smile and asked this on purpose.

"Chen, he offended you, he just slapped me in the face, of course this kind of person can't stay in Space M."

Musk explained calmly.

But in fact, he didn't tell the truth. Pullman was placed by PLSA's aerospace department. Relying on his background and technology, he often contradicted his arrangements.

It is true that PLSA Aerospace Division supports Space M, but these preferential policies are for all private airlines.

Space M has it, Lanyuan has it, and other companies have the same technical and financial support.

It's just that among these dozens of companies, only Space M and Lanyuan have succeeded, and they have the loudest voices.

"Another engine engineer will come over. Remember to be polite."

Musk smiled at the secretary and ordered again.

"Yes... yes, boss."

The female secretary looked up at Musk, then at Chen Heyu, and replied eagerly.

The attitude of the second engineer was much more eye-catching. He introduced the design and development process of the Falcon engine. Although all the core content was skipped, there was still no powerful way to escape the system.

"Ding! System entry skills: Raptor engine technology principle!"

Chen Heyu laughed with satisfaction.

After visiting the R&D center, I went to see the spacecraft design, but failed to activate the system. Obviously, this technology involves too complicated knowledge of aerodynamics, electronic engineering, and thermodynamics.

He could only disassemble it a little bit, get a general idea, and barely enter some propulsion system, structural design and thermal control technology.

If you continue to go deeper, you will appear to behave strangely. Chen Heyu thought about it, and finally gave up doing so.

In the field of aerospace, without strong support, even if he got all the core technologies, he would still be unable to move forward.

Thinking of Mr. Meng's promise, he couldn't help restraining himself, preparing to speed up the development of the chip industry after returning to China, and get the admission ticket for the aerospace industry as soon as possible.

……

Until late at night, Musk organized another dinner party.

This time, it was in a luxury villa in Texas. Most of the guests were local celebrities, well-known entrepreneurs, bankers and general managers of investment banks.

Chen Heyu declined the western food arrangement, took a full day's rest, and started the negotiation with Musk after recovering his energy.

In the Q2015 quarter of 3, the market value of Tesla was about US$300 billion, and it climbed to US$370 billion at the beginning of the year.

Since then, the controversy between Shanhai Capital and Musk has become relatively large, and Zhou Xiaoyu is only willing to give a valuation of US$280 billion.

After all, Tesla, which has only sold 3 units, can't really talk about the market prospects, especially under the strangulation of low-priced gasoline vehicles, the decline is obvious.

But Musk obviously doesn’t think so, he killed the valuation of 340 billion US dollars.

All I want is to use the least amount of stock in exchange for the most financing!
"Everyone takes a step back, and the 320 billion US dollars, the extra 20 billion valuation, will be regarded as my personal trust in you."

After several days of negotiations, Chen Heyu had lost his patience and took the initiative to give way.

"Chen, I think..."

Musk wanted to push his limits.

"$315 billion! If you still want to bargain, the price will continue to drop."

Chen Heyu waved his hand, interrupted his words, and rubbed his swollen head.

Lost $5 million at once?

Musk quit immediately, but when he saw the hint from his subordinates from the corner of his eye, he suddenly remembered the behavior style of the person in front of him. He opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

In the end, the offer of 315 billion US dollars was agreed!
10 billion US dollars, exchanged back to 3.17% of Tesla's equity.

In addition to the previous shareholding ratio, Shanhai Capital, with its 12.8% stake, became the third largest shareholder of Tesla in one fell swoop, ranking only behind Musk and Fuda Group.

After finishing all the work, Chen Heyu got on the plane back to China, while Lao Zhou stayed and was responsible for finishing the acquisition of MVIDIA and Tesla.

at the same time.

In Angel City, a girl with blond hair and blue eyes walked into the overseas headquarters of Shanhai Video with a bronzing business card.

……

During the trip to the beautiful country, Chen Heyu spent a total of 30 billion US dollars to win two technology companies with great potential.

The news quickly spread back home.

"Shanhai Capital swept Beiberry Island and invested heavily in the new energy vehicle industry!"

"With a huge investment of 200 billion, the industrial layout of future technology will be completed, and artificial intelligence may usher in explosive growth!"

"Breakthrough! Shanhai Capital acquired an 20% stake in MVIDIA chips for US$8 billion, leading the next generation of semiconductor technology!"

Chen Heyu put down his phone and smiled knowingly, the domestic media will blow it up!
