Jiang Chen had long expected that Musk would be very active in seeking cooperation with him.

After all, as a successful businessman, Musk must have a longer-term vision than most ordinary people.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Beishan Technology Group may still be just a new company that has not been established for a long time but has better luck, like a nouveau riche.

But for those who truly have a unique vision, they can naturally see the hidden value and terrifying potential of Beishan Technology Group.

So it is not surprising that Musk seems more anxious about the cooperation than Jiang Chen.

However, Jiang Chen still decided to keep Musk in suspense for a while, to let this guy know that cooperation with his company is not easy to come by, so that he can be more sincere in participating in the cooperation.

Sometimes, if something is obtained too easily, we may not cherish it.

Moreover, this is also a test for Musk by Jiang Chen. After all, he is not a Chinese. Jiang Chen must make sure that cooperation with Musk will not harm China's interests.

If the cutting-edge technology in our hands accidentally falls into the hands of foreigners, this will definitely be something that China cannot accept.

After hearing Musk's words, Jiang Chen smiled gently and said.

"Mr. Musk, there is no need for us to be so anxious about the cooperation."

"Actually, the reason I haven't called you recently is because I'm still considering whether to cooperate with your Space Exploration Technologies Corporation."

Upon hearing this, Musk asked anxiously and puzzledly.

"Why do you say that? Do you think there is something wrong with our cooperation? Or what are you worried about?"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued.

"Of course, there are some well-known reasons for concern."

"Mr. Musk, I'm sure you know very well that you are a Chinese after all, and I am a Chinese."

"In the past, your space agency has been blocking us in the space field and obstructing us from a technical level."

"Now I am going to cooperate with your company, and I am worried that you may be questioned by others."

"In addition, our cooperation will inevitably attract a lot of rumors, which is not a good thing for the development of both of us."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then Musk slowly spoke.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, I understand what you mean. You are worried that our cooperation may encounter resistance from a third party, right?"

Jiang Chen remained silent, which was considered as his agreement with Musk's guess.

"But in fact, all your worries are unnecessary. I am sincere in cooperating with you. We don't need to worry about any other factors."

"Mr. Jiang Chen, I hope you can seriously consider this. Didn't our previous cooperation in the field of electric vehicles make us very happy?"

“I believe the same will be true of this collaboration, and I can assure you of that.”

"You can trust SpaceX to ensure your business is completed on time."

"Our spacecraft is on standby, ready to provide you with service."

Hearing Musk's anxious voice on the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

This guy is really anxious. He is racking his brains for the order for dozens of satellites.

However, Jiang Chen was not too proud in his heart, after all, businessmen are cunning.

Who knows if Musk is pretending to be anxious now?
Once the contract is signed, will he turn his back on us and start delaying the launch date with impunity?

But at least Musk’s attitude is no longer a big problem, and apart from Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Company, it is difficult for Jiang Chen to find other high-quality and trustworthy partners.

The China Space Agency has already told Jiang Chen the limits of its production capacity. As for the United States Space Agency, Jiang Chen doesn't dare to count on it.

They also need to outsource the rocket launch mission to Space Exploration Technologies Corporation, so how could they have extra time to take their own orders?

As for the space agencies of other countries and regions, there is no need to count on them. Those places are far inferior to China and the United States in terms of aerospace technology and production capacity.

If the satellite launch mission is handed over to them, there is a high probability that it will fail. Jiang Chen does not want to cause himself too much trouble for nothing.

After some discussion with Musk on the phone, Jiang Chen finally told Musk.

"Mr. Musk, I'm glad you showed enough sincerity."

"I will consider the rocket launch cooperation project with your Space Exploration Technologies Corporation."

"Well, if you really want to get this order, I will wait for you at the headquarters in Beishan City, China."

"After all, I have never met you in person, so there are many things I want to discuss with you in person. What do you think?"

This is what Jiang Chen really wants to ask Musk, to ask him to come to China.

Moreover, Musk was directly invited to visit the headquarters of Beishan Technology Group.

Musk's actions will definitely be monitored by the intelligence agencies in the United States.

In this way, in the eyes of those people, Musk's behavior becomes very suspicious and worthy of suspicion.

If Musk turns his back on him after signing the contract, Jiang Chen can make a big fuss about it and bring Musk a lot of trouble.

As expected, after Jiang Chen made this request, Musk fell into a long period of hesitation.

Jiang Chen did not urge him, but just waited quietly for his answer on the phone.

After a long while, Musk finally spoke slowly.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, you also know that with my identity, every time I go to China, I have to make arrangements a long time in advance."

"Although I also want to visit you in person in Huaguo and talk to you face to face."

"But do you think we can discuss this matter again? For example, we can set the interface location somewhere else? For example, Sakura Country, or any place you want. It's up to you to choose."

As soon as Musk finished speaking, Jiang Chen said with a firm attitude.

"Mr. Musk, I have made it very clear just now. If you want to get this order, please come to China to see me."

"I may have more things to deal with than you do, so I will never leave China."

"As I said just now, you have a week to think about it. If I don't see you in Beishan City after a week."

"Then I will have to find another partner to take my orders."

"By the way, Mr. Musk, there is one more thing I want to tell you in advance."

Musk asked curiously after hearing this.

"whats the matter?"

Jiang Chen said mysteriously, "This matter involves a high-end technology that you guys have never been able to achieve."

“Once this technology becomes widely available, it will change the world.”

"Mr. Musk, this is why I invited you to come to China to communicate with me face to face."

"Because I have to ensure that this technology will not be leaked. I hope you can understand."

After saying this, Jiang Chen hung up the phone and ended the conversation.

Jiang Chen couldn't see what expression Musk had on the other end of the phone at this moment.

But he can basically conclude that Musk must be fidgeting in his office right now, constantly guessing in his mind what the high-end technology he just mentioned is.

This is the bait Jiang Chen threw out.

If Musk is invited only based on that order, there is a high probability of success, but there is also a high probability of failure.

If Musk really chooses not to come, Jiang Chen's plan to build a global quantum communication network within a year will be stillborn.

So he had to throw out a bait that was heavy enough to lure Musk into the trap.

As long as he comes to China, whether the two can reach a consensus in the end may not be up to Musk himself.

For the next week, Jiang Chen stayed at the group headquarters in Beishanshi to handle company affairs.

The most important thing for him now is to get Musk to help him launch a quantum communication satellite.

So he cannot leave Beishan City for the time being and has to wait for Musk to arrive at any time.

A week passed quickly, and it was the last day. Jiang Chen was going to get off work in a few hours that afternoon.

If Musk still hasn't come to Beishan City before this, it means that Jiang Chen's last call failed.

At this moment, even Jiang Chen felt a little nervous. What if Musk really didn't come?
Should he look for space agencies in other regions to help him launch satellites?
Just then, Wang Le suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, saying to Jiang Chen.

"Boss, Musk seems to be here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately spoke.

"Where is he now?"

"He's waiting downstairs. I haven't let him come up yet."

"Why are you still asking him to wait? Find someone to bring him here. I'll be waiting for him in the conference room next door."

"Yes."

After a while, Jiang Chen in the conference room saw the door open, and Musk's figure appeared in Jiang Chen's field of vision.

There are probably not many people in the world who are completely unfamiliar with this face, but it is the first time for Jiang Chen to see the other person so closely.

After all, this guy is the richest man in the world today, although compared with Jiang Chen now, the position of the richest man may not belong to him.

But Jiang Chen is still very interested in Musk.

If he didn't have the system, he might never have any contact with the other party in his life.

"Mr. Musk, welcome to China. I am Jiang Chen, the president of Beishan Technology Group."

After saying that, Jiang Chen took the initiative to extend his hand and shook hands with Musk.

After the latter came in, he kept looking at Jiang Chen with a look of curiosity and surprise.

After sitting down, Musk said in amazement.

"Mr. Jiang Chen, to be honest, before coming here I couldn't believe that you were really just a young man in his twenties."

"Now that I've seen you, I'm finally sure of it. You're really that young. It's incredible."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said lightly.

"Haha, Mr. Musk is also a successful person. I'm just lucky, so I have the Beishan Technology Group today."

After hearing this, Musk shook his head and said very seriously.

“What you have achieved is not a matter of luck.”

"Whether it was the panoramic gaming helmet at the beginning, or the mechanical exoskeleton and solid-state batteries later on, these were not achievements that could be achieved by luck."

"Jiang Chen, I have actually been paying attention to your Beishan Technology Group for a long time, and I have a hunch."

"You, Beishan Technology Group, are leading the future of all mankind. Perhaps in a few years, your inventions and creations will profoundly change the entire world."

"I was convinced of this when you were still at the Beishan Research Institute."

"It's just that you were still a national research institute in China at that time, and I never found a suitable opportunity to contact you until today."

Jiang Chen was also surprised after hearing what Musk said.

I didn't expect that this guy had started paying attention to me so early, and could look so far ahead.

Did you see the future potential of Kitayama Research Institute when the panoramic gaming helmet was first released?
This made Jiang Chen even more certain that his judgment was correct, and that cooperating with Musk was indeed a good choice.

The two of them first exchanged some business flattery, and then finally began to talk about the real business that needed to be discussed in this meeting.

Regarding the number of satellites that Jiang Chen needed to launch, Musk directly accepted all the requirements put forward by Jiang Chen.

He also assured Jiang Chen that all satellite launch missions could be completed within one year.

Jiang Chen and Musk quickly finished their conversation about this matter, but at this point, the meeting could be said to have just gotten to the point.

Because both of them knew very well what the real highlight of this face-to-face communication was.

If it was just to discuss the satellite launch mission, there was no need for Musk to travel thousands of miles to China to meet Jiang Chen.

Musk soon asked tentatively out of curiosity.

"Jiang Chen, can I ask you why you suddenly want to launch such a large number of satellites?"

"As far as I know, China no longer has much demand for launching new communications satellites. At most, you need to maintain and repair a small number of satellites in orbit every year."

"But this time you are going to launch dozens of satellites in a short period of time. What on earth do you want to do?"

Jiang Chen knew that Musk would ask such a question, so he had already prepared relevant remarks.

"Mr. Musk, have you ever heard of quantum communication technology?" (End of this chapter)
