8 month 20 number.

All went well with the Honolulu concert.

Suri learned the lesson from the last time he performed at the 80,000-person stadium in Shanghai. Not only did he find several singing guests, he also specially installed air conditioning on the stage.

Tens of thousands of spectators around him were sweating profusely, but he was extremely relaxed this time. He sang a few songs and then took a break. He easily earned more than 1700 million US dollars. He had long since lost the nervousness he felt when he held his first concert.

That night.

Suri returned directly from Honolulu Airport to Los Angeles. Among the guests on his plane were Ariana Grande, who was signed by Avril Lavigne Studio, and Elon Musk, Lady Gaga and others.

It was normal for the singing guests to be present, and the reason why Elon Musk, the former Tesla major shareholder, was also present was because he wanted to discuss a business deal with him.

It's about ten o'clock in the evening.

In the cabin's entertainment room, Elon Musk took a sip of whiskey, smiled and said:
"First of all, I want to thank you for your help. After Tesla was acquired by you, it greatly relieved my financial pressure. I used the money on SpaceX. The launch vehicle I developed has won many Starfish buildings. "

"Although the company's market value has almost tripled, I think SpaceX's value is far more than that, and its revenue is likely to reach US$5 billion in five years."

"So I would like to ask you to invest a sum of money, about 1 million U.S. dollars. I believe it can bring you a very good rate of return."

From the beginning of their contact, Suri felt that Elon Musk was a shrewd businessman rather than a naive idealist.

When it comes to how to draw a cake, the other party is professional.

They use the so-called Mars colonization plan to advertise SpaceX, but they are only doing projects that can make money. Recently, they are working hard to become a launch contractor for NASA and the Five-Star Building, but they have never done anything really related to space travel.

From a logical point of view, if you really want people to immigrate to Mars, the top priority is obviously to imitate "Biosphere 2" and demonstrate whether an artificial closed ecosystem is feasible. Otherwise, you will have to send people to Mars and wait to die.

If people can't survive on Mars, all plans will be in vain.

Building launch vehicles is just to meet the needs of commercial launches and has basically nothing to do with conquering Mars.

In fact, in Su Rui's impression, until the other party became the world's richest man through Tesla and SpaceX space transportation companies, he was still at the stage of drawing cakes. He neither spent money to develop a space station to transport people to Mars, nor was he willing to spend more. Conduct research and demonstration, but sharpen your head and continue to carry out commercial launch missions, trying to become a defense contractor.

Making money from commercial rockets is indeed a technical job, but treating people like fools and talking about running a train is the fault of Elon Musk. It is basically the same as the people on social platforms who clamor all day long to become a superpower in 2015. There is no difference between the three brothers who are crushing China's economy.

Suri cursed a few words in his heart.

On the surface, he remained calm, just shook his head and said:
"I have offended a lot of people because of my car-making and other businesses. It's okay to spend this money to support you, but you can no longer invest in my personal name. Do you think this is okay? I use the private equity fund under Caishen Capital , providing you with $1 million in financing. Many of these customers are powerful people in Washington, and they may be able to provide you with some help. "

Hear the words.

Elon Musk was surprised:

"That's great. Next time your company encounters a launch mission, you can leave it to me. I will give you a very good discount price then."

"Thank you."

After Suri finished speaking, he added in his mind, "But no need." The reason why SpaceX has the chance to survive and grow mainly depends on the fact that U.S. officials cannot leave launch orders to China to complete.

Otherwise, the approach of mass-producing mature rockets, lowering the cost, and seizing the market by relying on cost-effectiveness is exactly what the mainland is good at.

Even if SpaceX implements booster recovery technology, the launch price in the short term may not be cheaper than disposable rockets from the mainland. After all, the labor, research and development, and cost costs in the United States are very high.

Businesses such as express delivery, taxi hailing, and takeout that require satellites can directly approach relevant units in China to complete the launch. At least the risk of failure is relatively small, and the technology is very mature, so that a long period of time is not wasted. We chatted casually for a while, during which we also talked about Buyme, a live streaming online shopping platform that has become very popular recently.

Although it does not have its own logistics and express delivery platform like Amazon, things on Buyme are cheaper. As long as the price is low enough, most consumers will be willing to use UPS, USPS and other platforms.

If this path proves feasible, Suri is also preparing to build several warehouses in Mexico, which can shorten the delivery time of goods to about a week.

Until about 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Suri had just gone upstairs, took off her clothes and was getting ready to go to bed, when she heard a gentle knock on the door.

I thought it was Secretary Jiang Jiaya or Amanda, but when I opened the surveillance screen, I discovered that Miss Ariana Grande, who had become famous among young Americans recently and was his guest singer, was standing outside the door looking at him.

He stayed up most of the night and took the initiative to come to his door. How could Su Rui not guess the meaning of this.

To be honest, he didn't really want to open the door.

Because she feels that Miss Ariana Grande is too young and is worried about getting into trouble.

I quickly took out my phone to check, and found out that this girl had just celebrated her 18th birthday in June this year.

That's no problem.

When she heard the knock on the door again, Suri put on her pajamas and opened the door, pretending to be just getting ready for bed, blinked and asked Miss Ariana Grande, "What's wrong?"

Ariana Grande looked excited and asked:
"Can I delay your time for a little while? I just suddenly thought of a good melody, and I want you to give me some suggestions."

At first I thought it was just an excuse.

However, after inviting her into the luxurious suite, Suri realized that he was being amorous. The girl actually discussed making a new song with him.

Because it was too late, Miss Ariana Grande got up and left after only staying for more than half an hour without disturbing her too much.

After sending the girl away, Su Rui felt like she was being teased and felt that it would be a little difficult to sleep tonight.

After a while.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, the knock on the door rang again.

With a little impatience, Suri got out of bed and opened the door. She saw another guest singer, "Fruit Sister" Katy Perry, wearing a red dress, red lips and curly hair. She put her hand on the door frame and asked with a smile on her face. sentence:
"I saw Ariana go upstairs just now. What did you do to her? Actually, I want to try it too."

"What are you trying? Do you want to discuss the new song with me too?"

Having said that, Suri's hands were already around Katy Perry's waist and she closed the door smoothly.

The two had a relationship in New York, and they became familiar with each other once, so there was no need to be too particular about it.

The entertainment industry is indeed a bit complicated. Many people do not want to be bound by marriage and pursue hedonism. They think about what they want when they are happy, what they think about when they are unhappy, and what they think about even more when they are bored. Both parties must take into account external influences, and the relationship is simple. Pure, not sloppy at all.

Katy Perry came to Suri tonight just to experience the excitement of being above the clouds.

The fact was as she expected, it was truly wonderful (End of Chapter)
