My courtyard shelter

Time flies, and soon we have arrived at the last week of 2040.

All preparations have been completed for Xu's father's autobiography "How I Raised the World's Richest Man", and it is planned to be officially put on sale on New Year's Day.

Four versions are available for sale at the same time: regular version, hardcover version, e-book and audio book.

As for the overseas version, we have to wait for another two months.

The publisher has already launched a full range of publicity:

"This will be a thought-provoking and inspiring inspirational book. It contains insights into life struggles and success, as well as many moral truths of goodness and beauty."

However, just two days before New Year's Day, Xu Dong suddenly received a call from Musk's family. Old Ma passed away unconsciously in his sleep last night.

Upon hearing the bad news, he rushed over immediately.

Speaking of which, although he and Old Ma have not known each other for a long time, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and the two families have also had many exchanges. It can be said that they are friends regardless of age.

Due to the special current situation, Old Ma's funeral was held in a hurry, and it only took one day.

Then, Musk's private lawyer publicly read out the will in front of all the guests.

Unexpectedly, Ma only left 100 million yuan to each of his children, and then donated most of his inheritance, including Tesla's shares, to the "Mars Landing" project department free of charge.

Such a move shocked everyone.

Warm applause broke out instantly at the scene!

Xu Dong was also very moved.

It can be seen that Ma really loves Mars, and he is still reluctant to forget it even after his death, which is admirable!

After the funeral, Mr. Mike took the opportunity to pull Xu Dong into his car, and it seemed that he had something to discuss.

"Mike, what's the hurry?"

"It's not urgent, after all, good things don't wait!"

Mr. Mike replied immediately.

Xu Dong turned his head and quickly understood the other party's thoughts: "What? Are you interested in Tesla?"

"Of course I am interested, but unfortunately I am powerless. To tell you the truth, I am buying on behalf of others, and the price is easy to negotiate."

"Who?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

"Well, this investment comes from a newly established royal fund in Babylon. I think you should be able to guess who it is. Among all the existing royal families, they are the richest."

"Is it Dai Ying? Their newly abdicated emperor?" Xu Dong blurted out.

"Yes, it's them."

"No way, Babylon has only been established for less than a year, and it's going to fall apart so soon?"

"You think too much."

Mike shook his head quickly:

"The other party just doesn't want to put all their eggs in one basket, and they are just preparing for both situations. They are a group of old nobles with a strong sense of crisis, which is nothing strange."

"I see." Xu Dong waved his hand immediately, "But it's useless for you to find me, I don't have a single Tesla stock in my hand."

"I know you don't, but you have a lot of connections!"

"I'll tell you the truth, I don't know anyone in the aerospace department at all, you've found the wrong person. To put it another way, even if I can find a relationship, they may not be willing to make a move, isn't it better to take it slow and steady?"

"Hehe, don't worry, the situation has not been good in the past few years, Tesla has not made much money at all, and if you want dividends, I don't know when it will be!

According to the information I have inquired, the aerospace department is now very tight on funds, they are burning too much money, and there is a high probability that they will choose to sell shares."

Mr. Mike said confidently.

Xu Dong was surprised and said, "Why don't you just go to them directly? Why do you have to go around me? It's unnecessary."

"The Ministry of Aerospace is short of money now. I'm afraid they will ask for too much."

"Damn, it's not your own money. Why do you feel sorry for them?"

"Old Xu, after all these years of trouble, the assets of the British royal family have shrunk seriously. The price is too high. I'm afraid of scaring people away."

Mike explained with a wry smile.

"This is not like your style. Tell me honestly, how much commission did they promise you?"

Mr. Mike shook his head: "No commission, I help them for free."

"What do you want?" Xu Dong was puzzled.

"This is called buying a horse with a lot of money. Babylon is full of rich people with sufficient capital. They are also very willing to invest in us to share the risk."

"You want to change your career? Stop doing foreign trade?"

"I can't do it anymore. There is not much surplus food in the Tianzhu Peninsula now. Now, the people who are least short of money in the world are the Babylonians, except for you, the richest man."

Xu Dong hurriedly said modestly: "Most of what I hold are stocks. I can't take out much cash at all, otherwise I would buy Tesla myself."

"I know you are not interested, so I asked you for help. I am familiar with Babylon and the Yahu business circle. I am going to open a special investment consulting company. Now I just need a little fame."

Mr. Mike pleaded.

Affected by the overall environment, his business has been tepid in recent years, and even the stock returns of Xinke Seaweed are not as high. The more he thinks about it, the more he regrets it.

"Okay, I'll help you find out later."

Xu Dong nodded.

After all, they are old friends for many years, so I'll help them if I can!

"Thank you, thank you so much. And you have to be quick. As far as I know, there are many people eyeing Tesla. Don't let anyone intercept you."

"Don't worry, Lao Ma's shares are worth tens of billions, it's not that easy to trade."

Xu Dong smiled and comforted.

"Anyway, please!"

...

Two days later, New Year's Day arrived as scheduled.

Early in the morning, after Xu's father hurriedly ate breakfast, he couldn't sit still anymore and said he wanted to go to the bookstore.

Seeing this, Lele immediately sent Xiao Lentil to her mother's arms, and then pulled her husband, and the young couple went out with grandpa.

There is a Xinxia Bookstore near the manor. The three of them didn't drive and arrived in less than ten minutes.

Today is the New Year's Day holiday, and there are more people in the bookstore. After all, there is a lack of entertainment these days, and not every household can afford a computer. Reading has become one of the few hobbies of ordinary people.

"Grandpa, there are so many people today!"

Dad Xu smiled and nodded: "Reading more is a good thing. Grandpa's family was poor when he was a child. He worked hard to save pocket money for a year, but it was not enough to buy a book."

"Grandpa, look." Ji Yin suddenly pointed at the cashier and whispered, "There are so many people queuing over there to buy your autobiography."

Dad Xu quickly took out his reading glasses and put them on.

At the same time, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Lele's strategy really worked, and this wave was stable.

"Really, I didn't expect it to be so popular." The old man was immediately delighted: "Ji Yin, you are still capable, grandpa didn't make a mistake."

"It's grandpa, your experience is wonderful."

Ji Yin quickly replied.

Lele walked to grandpa and reminded him: "Grandpa, please put on your mask quickly, don't let people recognize you."

"Yes, grandpa is also a celebrity now."

Dad Xu reacted instantly.
