You are worth tens of billions before you come to the system?

If I could still see Ye Wudao in person, it would definitely be an unexpected surprise, and I would be even happier.

Musk pointed to the dark circles under his eyes: "Mr. Lin, I think you can understand how I feel."

"Of course I understand. If I see the perfect L5 assisted driving system, I will definitely want to try it myself."

Lin Zitai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he could indeed understand. After all, Musk is just such a person.

There is both the greed of capitalists and the romance of idealists, and the two are not contradictory in him.

Even if one day he had a sudden idea and wanted to imitate the golden retriever and sit on the throne of the president, Lin Zitai would not be surprised.

Musk was surprised: "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to know about the intelligent driving system."

“I don’t know much about it, but I have a friend who is engaged in the new energy charging pile industry, and I heard him talk about it before.”

The person Lin Zitai was talking about was Wang Sichao.

Nearly a year has passed since the last time the two talked. Wang Sichao invested all his previous profits into charging piles.

Wanda Group also has a network of contacts across the country, which allowed Wang Sichao to easily acquire many small areas of land and build new energy charging plazas on them.

After all, it takes time to charge new energy vehicles, so Wang Sichao thought of Wanda Plaza to combine the two.

Let new energy car owners go around the square, shop, and buy something for consumption after charging.

I heard that the development was very good. I initially invested US$3 million. After nearly a year, Sequoia gave it a valuation of US$8 million.

I remember that some time ago, Wang Sichao called Lin Zitai specifically and said that he planned to raise angel round financing.

There were various hints, both overt and covert, hoping that Lin Zitai would not forget the original agreement with him and help lead the first round of investment.

After all, with Lin Zitai’s status, if he leads the first round of investment, it will at least increase the valuation of his company by several hundred million dollars.

Having the blessing of his adoptive father can also make Xiao Wang more confident to continue his work. These are Wang Sichao's original words.

Musk suddenly understood and said with a smile: "I would like to get to know Mr. Wang if I have the opportunity."

"Will have the opportunity next time."

After all, Lin Zitai didn't want to recognize his adopted son even if he called him so many times.

Anyway, it's a casual mention. It doesn't matter, but it can save Wang Sichao's company from making many detours.

If he has the opportunity to cooperate with Tesla in the future, Musk will definitely give priority to Wang Sichao's company.

Between familiarity and unfamiliarity,

Normally people would choose acquaintances.

After lunch, Lin Zitai suggested: "Mr. Musk, why don't you go to the hospital for a physical examination first?"

Musk smiled and called his assistant: "Mr. Lin, this is my physical examination report."

In order not to waste Lin Zitai's time, he was fully prepared before coming.

The date of the physical examination was yesterday, and it was personally stamped and certified by the No. 1 Hospital in Shanghai.

"Then let's go to the hospital now."

Lin Zitai laughed, seeing Musk's urgency, he simply did as he wished...

……

Three o'clock in the afternoon, the ward of Tahoe Hospital.

Musk is like a child who gets a new toy and has a great time playing with his bionic hand.

This bionic hand was brought over from the company and wrapped in silicone that simulated human skin.

If you don't look carefully, you can't tell it's a fake hand.

Mainly, Musk wants to know whether their bionic technology and brain-machine peripherals have been modified by Lin Zitai.

"Mr. Lin, I think we should preliminary discuss future cooperation plans. What do you think?"

Musk reluctantly put down his bionic arm and took off the brain-computer peripherals worn on his head. The fact is cruel. They are really only one blue capsule away from conquering brain-computer technology.

Lin Zitai nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Both of us will invest one billion US dollars to establish a joint venture. You will produce and provide the brain-computer and bionic technology, but we will be solely responsible for the installation and subsequent debugging."

Tahoe Hospital occupies a large area, with a current use area of ​​3.5 square meters. They have also purchased a total of 6.5 square meters of surrounding land, but it has not yet been developed.

Lin Zitai wants to hand over the business of installing bionic limbs to Tahoe Hospital, including subsequent debugging.

Although one is on the production side and the other is on the sales side, we all have core technologies and cooperation can only lead to a win-win situation. No one can fly alone.

Lin Zitai thought he was sincere, but Musk frowned and seemed dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Musk pondered for a moment: "Mr. Lin, I think our relationship can be closer."

Because Lin Zitai's arrangement seemed reasonable and the two sides were on the same page, but it went against his original intention.

Whether it is bionic hands, brain-computer peripherals, or embedded brain-computer chips that will be provided in the future, they are actually born out of modern industrial technology.

For example, the original steam train evolved step by step into the current express high-speed rail, and even the high-speed maglev train in the future.

All modern industrial technologies have their own traces, but brain neurotechnology belongs to Lin Zitai's family alone.

Musk wants to invest in Neuron Labs to jointly develop this project and create a true virtual world.

His emotions deepened, and his face was excited: "If we can develop similar cryo-sleep technology, perhaps interstellar navigation across light years will no longer be a fantasy. Once we master interstellar navigation and other related technologies, it will be a great blessing to all mankind... "

Cryosleep technology is theoretically feasible and can maintain the human body's vital signs for decades or even centuries.

The reason why cryo-sleep technology is theoretically feasible is that the human body not only has a body, but also a brain.

The human brain is like a machine. Even if you sleep a few more hours a day, you will feel groggy when you wake up.

What's more, one sleep may last more than ten years, decades, or even hundreds of years.

A healthy person will become a vegetative state within a few days if he lies down.

But if there is a virtual world, it will be different. Astronauts can enter the virtual world, live, study, and even rest in it to keep their brain nerves active.

It can also make long interstellar voyages no longer boring.

"Mr. Musk, the future is still far away. I think there is no rush at this moment. We should do the current things first before we have the opportunity to look to the future. What do you think?"

Lin Zitai smiled. Musk's narration was beautiful and provocative, as if the stars in the universe were within reach.

But he is not a stupid young man who doesn't understand anything, and he will not easily eat the pie painted by Boss Ma.

To put it bluntly, Musk wants to invest in Neuron Lab and take the opportunity to learn brain nerve connection technology.

Now it's all talk, if the result is really what Musk wants, Lin Zitai and the others will probably be kicked away.

Just like Mao Erlan, who was deceived and said he wanted to embrace freedom, but ended up in a European brothel.

Whether it was the Soviet Union and the United States back then or China and the United States now, Lao America has indeed always been in a leading position in terms of industrial strength.

It's just that with the rapid development of China, the lead between the two sides is no longer as large as it was twenty years ago.

The old Americans are advocating the China threat theory, just like the boss of a company who is doing badly. Last year he made 10 million, but this year he only made 8 million. So he told his employees that he lost 2 million this year. He hoped that the employees would not be ignorant and don't follow him. Regarding a salary increase...

The technology of enhancing neuron activity is an important bargaining chip for Lin Zitai to check and balance American industrial technology. Unless he is kicked in the head by a donkey, he will agree to Musk's investment.

Don't talk to him about the future of all mankind or about science without borders. If science really has no borders, Mr. Qian will not be under house arrest for five years if he wants to return to China.

To put it bluntly, Musk really has this ambition, but he can only represent himself.

Lin Zitai refused. The temperature in the ward seemed to have suddenly dropped a few degrees, and there was no atmosphere of sympathy as before.

Musk was silent for a long time, with bitterness at the corner of his mouth: "The future is indeed far away, and we should not rush at this moment."

Lin Zitai smiled slightly and said: "If there is no problem, we will ask someone to formulate a cooperation intention?"

Musk nodded: "Okay, I'll do as you say." (End of Chapter)
