Chapter 585
The meeting between Dong Chen and Musk was seen by some caring people present. They were all happy to see it, and they all wanted to see what agreement they would reach.

But they didn't come close to listen and watch, but they all watched from a distance while doing their own things.

They all know the situation in the United States, and they also know that many American companies and departments have received notices from the US government, and even some countries have received explicit or covert notes from the United States.

They also understand that after their company and strength have reached a certain stage, what they do is no longer their own business, and they have to be mixed with their respective countries or other countries to some extent.

However, in a country like the United States, the presidential election requires the support of many large groups.

To become a president, one must at least have a distinguished political career and achievements, a certain ability to campaign and govern the country, and sufficient funds to guarantee campaigns.

Among them, the amount of campaign funds is very important. If there are more funds, there will be more resources in various fields that can be mobilized. If the candidate does not have sufficient funds as a guarantee, it is impossible to become the last president.

And after he successfully came to power, he will naturally seek profits for the groups that support him, even if he can't be blatant, but there must be some policy inclinations.

The policy is tilted to this side, and those groups that support him will benefit, but other aspects will not work, and many other large groups will suffer losses.

Even those contenders who backed his big bloc, who could be targeted.

This is the political and economic entanglement in the United States.

In their impression, Musk Aerospace is such a notified company that they can cooperate with any other country, but they cannot cooperate with Huaguo, including Huaguo's companies.

Musk's other companies can be lenient, but aerospace companies are absolutely not allowed.

Any cooperative company must sign a very strict contract with Musk Aerospace, which can be said to block any way for Huaguo to take advantage of loopholes.

By the way, it also blocked most of Musk's aerospace financial resources.

At the beginning, they were surprised to see Musk here, but later they realized that the Arclight Group is no longer a company belonging to Huaguo, and it is impossible for Musk not to run over to pick up gold.

While others were talking, Dong Chen and Musk also talked about Musk's intentions.

Dong Chen also knows the situation of Musk Aerospace. In the field of private aerospace on the earth, except for their arc space, which ranks first, Musk Aerospace is the next No.2.

"...The United States is now giving great support to several other aerospace companies, especially this time with the big project of the new International Space Station, which is very beneficial to the growth of those aerospace companies..."

"...Don't look at our Musk Aerospace got some early transportation missions, but when we signed the agreement, we only signed five transportation missions. After five times, I am afraid it will be difficult to renew the contract..."

"...The other aerospace companies are backed by large groups, that is, the big consortia behind the president, and my Musk Aerospace has naturally become their competitor and blocker..."

After Musk's explanation, Dong Chen also understood, although Musk is now on the bright side, but in fact there is no cat in the house... Cough, it is actually very dangerous.

It's clear that Musk's aerospace company is going to be a stepping stone for others.

But seeing Musk sighing while talking, Dong Chen was a little confused.

Although he doesn't know much about business matters, it's really good to just say this in front of others, and even say that it's his own weakness?
And counting, Arclight Aerospace is also considered a competitor of Musk Aerospace, so no matter how you think about it, it feels inappropriate.

Musk has been able to develop the company to the present. Obviously, it is impossible for Musk to be a business rookie like himself. How could he make such a mistake?

Regarding his ignorance, Dong Chen really did what a rookie would do, he... asked.

"Mr. Musk, I don't quite understand. Why did you tell me this? It stands to reason that our Arclight Aerospace should also be your competitor, and the things you just said are definitely the problems and problems you are facing now. Your own weakness, this should be a very dangerous question."

Hearing Dong Chen's "sharp" question, Musk was taken aback, but he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, Mr. Dong Chen, you just said that we are competitors, but I think we are not Not a competitor."

Dong Chen: "???"

Seeing Dong Chen's puzzled expression, Musk smiled at Dong Chen, then slightly stepped on the floor with his right foot and said, "In a year, this new Tiangong space station has been welded from the first steel plate to Now we’re sitting here drinking and talking, and based on this alone, no aerospace company on Earth can be your competitor, not even the US space agency.”

I have to say that Musk looks at the problem very thoroughly. Dong Chen didn't think about it just now, but now that Musk said this, he understood.

Indeed, when we usually talk about competitors, we mean that the strengths of the two sides are similar, or there is little difference, or even surpass the opponent after winning the competition. This is called a competitor.

And after Arclight Aerospace has independently built a large space station, Musk Aerospace is still competing with other companies for order business, and is still competing for the business of the new International Space Station, which has fallen behind.

This is not a power level existence at all, how to compete.

Not to mention them, even the entire International Space Station project has to rely on Arclight Aerospace's space junk disposal system and space junk operation data to ensure the normal operation of the project, which makes them, small independent companies, how to compete.

Therefore, Dong Chen estimated that Musk would say these things under such circumstances, but... what he said just now was a bit too thorough.

After learning about this, Dong Chen looked at Musk and asked, "So, you are here to cooperate?"

"That's right," Musk nodded, and said frankly, "The reason why I tell you this is because I think we are the same people who look to the future. The earth is just the starting point for us, and Not all, the boundless universe is the place we yearn for."

Hearing this, Dong Chen couldn't help showing a little smile, because he felt that what Musk said was completely correct.

They are like minded people.

When others are still breaking their heads for the resources on the earth, their aspirations are no longer on the earth. Although it sounds a bit ambitious or far-fetched, it is the truth, and Dong Chen thinks so.

He doesn't know the real situation on Musk's side, but he can see from some news reports and the bold plans made by Musk that Musk should also be a person with dreams and longing for the stars.

However, he is not as lucky as Dong Chen, but he has come out step by step, and he has reached the position of No. [-] in private aerospace, which is also worthy of recognition.

"Mr. Musk," Dong Chen raised the wine glass in front of him and gestured to Musk, "What you said is very correct. The earth is indeed too small. Only when we break free from the shackles of the earth can we do more things."

Musk also raised his glass to signal, looked at Dong Chen and said, "Mr. Dong Chen, then wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Hehe, Mr. Musk said that it is too early to cooperate. This is Mr. Sun, who is still looking for us. He never cares about these things."

Seeing Musk's slightly dazed look upon hearing this, Dong Chen raised his mouth slightly again, then touched him with a cup and said, "However, I enjoyed the chat with you just now, and I found another Like-minded people."
