Chapter 968 I want to make a private deal with you
"You're scared"
Gao Jin raised his eyebrows, looked into Musk's eyes and said this.
"I'm not afraid, I think we don't need to waste resources."
"Healthy competition is good for us, but vicious competition is not good for us at all. In terms of competition on Mars, your Protoss Group has completely fallen behind."
"Instead of consuming resources on Mars, why not find a suitable planet? This will be beneficial to us all!" Musk looked at Gao Jin and said this slowly.
"Why didn't you change the planet?" Gao Jin asked with a smile.
After hearing what Gao Jin said, Musk smiled and said easily, "Because I am already ahead, and this kind of lead is difficult for you to catch up with."
"How about making a bet?" Gao Jin said this calmly. Musk narrowed his eyes and looked at Gao Jin. He didn't expect that Gao Jin would not give up even now.
"You said" Musk said this calmly.
"It's very simple. This year will not be counted. It will start counting from January 1 next year. If the Protoss Group loses to you on Mars in ten years, I will withdraw from the competition on Mars."
"On the contrary, if the Protoss Group gains the upper hand on Mars within ten years, SpaceX will withdraw from the competition on Mars."
"how"
Gao Jin watched Musk say this calmly. Musk squinted at Gao Jin, his brain running at high speed, analyzing the meaning of Gao Jin's words.
It seems that Gao Jin is very confident that he will surpass SpaceX within ten years. Where does this confidence come from?
After SpaceX has the interstellar spacecraft, the construction speed of the Mars base will increase exponentially. No matter how you look at it, there is no possibility for the Protoss Group to catch up.
However, when Gao Jin said something, Musk had to think more.
"Okay, within ten years, I don't believe that my SpaceX company will lose to your Protoss Group!" After Musk finished speaking, he stared at Gao Jin and slowly raised his right hand.
Gao Jin smiled, raised his hand and patted Marcus's palm and made three "pah, pah, pah" sounds. The two high-fived and signed a bet.
Both of them forgot one thing. They were in Los Angeles, where there is a place called Hollywood, where many media companies around the world have offices.
From the first day Gao Jin arrived in Los Angeles, a lot of reporters began to drop everything and stare at Gao Jin. The reporters' magical powers are beyond your imagination.
After Musk's plane landed in Los Angeles, the news spread among reporters, and more reporters began to focus on the hotel where Musk was staying.
Sure enough, today Musk arrived at the hotel where Gao Jin was staying, and all kinds of high-tech equipment came into use. There were a lot of cameras staring at the two people from various angles in the distance.
As soon as the tea cups touched, the two took a sip respectively, chatted for a few words with Musk, and then left. Gao Jin sent Musk to the elevator before returning.
In Tianchao, Wei Mingyang returned to Jinwei City after attending a meeting in the imperial capital, with a very relaxed expression on his face. The top boss already knew that Wei Mingyang had asked Gao Jin to start increasing production.
After one month, it is guaranteed to provide an additional fifty tons of interstellar spacecraft materials every month so as not to delay the interstellar spacecraft construction plan.
However, this matter is top secret and we will not tell the relevant departments for the time being, so that the relevant departments will worry.
This proposal was passed smoothly. Let's just let the emotions go and don't delay the business. What's more, the Xingling Group has a handle on this matter.
At the morning market, Zhang Hongbin and Xiao Yunxian had a drink tonight. After three glasses of wine, the conversation between them started.
"I never dreamed that this matter would come to an end at the cost of one of the three giants in the relevant department retiring!" Xiao Yunxian said this with emotion on his face.
Zhang Hongbin smiled after hearing this: "Brother, you should be used to it. Since the rise of the Protoss Group, there are not a few people who have withdrawn from the Prostos Group because of him, pushed for it, or were directly dismissed."
"Xingling Group is very special. You can't look at it with ordinary eyes. You can't even look at it as an ordinary international giant."
"Starlight Energy Group is the world's dominant player in the four major industries of solar energy, wind energy, hydrogen energy, and batteries!"
"Starlight Mobile Phone Company can compete with the American Guoguo Company"
"The chip company has overtaken Taipower and Shanxing to become the dominant player in the global chip industry!"
"Starlight Space Group is a company that can compete with SpaceX."
"Starlight Agricultural Group, Rocket Bear Food Delivery Company, Starlight Machinery Manufacturing Group, etc., without exception, are the absolute overlords in their respective industries!"
"There are now thousands of companies in China that are related to Xingling Group. These are not small businesses. Even the smallest company has more than 500 employees."
“There are many companies with thousands of employees.”
"It can be said that if Xingling Group sneezes in China, the domestic economy will be shaken three times, and the world economy will be shaken once."
"Smart people will definitely avoid the Protoss Group. Only those who overestimate their capabilities want to go head-to-head with the Prostos Group!"
"Although we take the blame for Gao Jin's troubles, the higher-ups also know that we can no longer influence the Xingling Group, or in other words, we can no longer influence Gao Jin."
"Therefore, we must continue to increase our efforts to build high-tech companies and use the brand name of Xingling Group to accelerate the industrial upgrading of Rizao Market."
"I have already talked with XXX Steel Group once and asked them to complete the selection within one year and complete the overall relocation within two years. The overall relocation will be out of the morning market urban area."
"Keeping our heads down and completing our plans for the morning market is what we should be concerned about at the moment. Everything else is just a cloud."
Zhang Hongbin looked at Xiao Yunxian and said these words with great meaning. Xiao Yunxian had a thinking expression on his face. Zhang Hongbin saw it clearly and was not anxious at all.
Let Xiao Yun think about it slowly first. When it reaches a certain level, Xiao Yun will figure it out by himself first, and it will be very peaceful to pick up the dishes with chopsticks.
After a while, Xiao Yun first picked up the wine bottle, filled their glasses and said, "Thank you for your advice, brother. Now I feel like I can see the sun through the clouds."
"You're still doing this with me?" Zhang Hongbin smiled and picked up the wine glass. Xiao Yunxian also smiled and raised the wine glass to touch Zhang Hongbin's glass, raised his hand and drank it in one gulp.
One day passed and Gao Jin took a special plane to San Francisco. The next day, he went to Starlight Future Health Company for an inspection.
On this day, the front pages of many American media reported on the meeting between Gao Jin and Musk, especially the fact that the two looked at each other with sharp eyes and gave three high-fives.
Some websites even uploaded videos with the title [Bet].
The news immediately spread throughout the United States. According to news reports, Gao Jin and Musk must have made some sort of bet. According to lip syntax analysis, the bet was related to Mars.
The media were not afraid of making the matter a big deal at all. Instead, they hoped that the matter would be as big as possible, adding fuel to the fire and starting to report crazily.
Some media even shouted that Gao Jin met with Musk and made an agreement to share Mars equally.
The two companies do not pay attention to any competitors. They both believe that each other is the other's biggest competitor. Together, the two companies are invincible!
Let’s work together to control Mars first.
The reporters remembered that there was no such thing as a science fiction novelist, and began to analyze the progress of major companies in various countries from various angles.
Although the Protoss Spirit Group is lagging far behind now, no one knows what the Protoss Spirit Group's trump card is, which adds a sense of mystery.
And this sense of mystery is what attracts readers’ attention the most.
Soon, the U.S. media reports were forwarded by media outlets around the world, causing quite a shock in the international market.
Especially the European media, with their pessimistic predictions, Europe is in decline and it will be difficult to occupy a place in the future interstellar era. This pessimistic tone makes the EU bosses very unhappy.
Only a few concerned people began to seriously analyze this matter, especially the relevant domestic departments, which even invited many experts to hold meetings to analyze this matter.
The Protoss Group doesn't even have an interstellar spacecraft now, so why does SpaceX attach so much importance to the Protoss Group? Why does SpaceX think that the Protoss Group is its main competitor?
Taking all the data together, this theory doesn't make sense. I asked a bunch of experts to study it for several days, and they would pull their hair out even if they couldn't figure it out.
In the hotel, Gao Jin was drinking tea and chatting with Daisy, the representative of NASA. The business had already been discussed. The treatment was the same as that of SpaceX, 75 tons of materials, US$30,000 per ton.
Daisy's mission was successfully completed, and the two parties were not on good terms. They drank tea and talked and laughed very relaxedly.
"Gao, when do you plan to build the interstellar spacecraft?" Daisy asked curiously.
"I don't know, it depends on the research and development of nuclear engines. You know, this is my huge shortcoming. If I don't solve this problem, I won't be able to build an interstellar spacecraft." Gao Jin said this naturally.
At present, everyone around the world knows where the Xingling Group is trapped. Due to their physical constitution, Western companies do not have this confusion.
"I am looking forward to the Protoss Group joining the competition for Mars, so that we can share some of the pressure on NASA," Daisy said with a wry smile.
The small alliance led by DuPont directly came to a leader to assemble a space station in space and fly to Mars. It became the first space station on Mars and could observe every move of Mars at any time.
China and SpaceX are building interstellar spacecraft, which has put tremendous pressure on NASA. If it can't deliver results, it won't be able to compete.
"To be honest, I am more eager than anyone else to start building interstellar spacecraft. What a pity." Gao Jin said this helplessly.
Daisy Li understands Gao Jin's difficulties. Although large Western companies do not have many restrictions on nuclear energy, there are also uncomfortable places in other places. All in all, they cannot do whatever they want.
"Gao, I want to make a private deal with you, are you interested?" After Desili said that, she looked at Gao Jin with deep eyes. Gao Jin was stunned and looked at Desili thoughtfully.
Daisy's status in NASA is not low. Although she is not one of the Big Four, she is still one of the top executives under the Big Four. It is a bit abnormal to have a private deal with herself now.
