Chapter 477: SpaceX and Tesla can't afford to sell
"What's the meaning?"
Putting down his coffee cup, Elon Musk stared at the unattractive CIA worker in front of him.
"The U disk contains the most advanced worm virus code currently in the United States, virus No. 171. Its replication and propagation speed can spread throughout the entire so-called space-based power transmission system within 10 minutes, and can even spread to wireless transmission towers on the surface. Of course, we are not
There is no intention to destroy, just to prepare for emergencies, more chips means more voice."
Eli Golden smiled with interest.
There are also teams doing research in North America. One fact they have to accept is that wireless power transmission is a major trend in the future. Just like the Internet created today's network era, its status and significance are the same.
Humans today cannot do without the Internet, and humans in the future cannot do without wireless power transmission.
Elon Musk looked at him, and Eli Golden looked at him indifferently. After a long time, Musk cast his eyes on the smooth glass table and immediately picked up the USB flash drive.
Seeing this scene, Eli Golden couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, that's right.
But less than two seconds passed, and he was stunned, losing his composure in front of the other party for the first time.
Because Elon Musk picked up the USB flash drive, threw it on the ground, and then stepped on it with the heel of his leather shoe, repeatedly.
Caught off guard, Eli Golden stood up subconsciously and saw that the USB flash drive on the floor was trampled beyond recognition, and his face couldn't stop twitching.
"The stupidest person in the world is to assume that the other person's IQ is not online. Unfortunately, I have met such a person now." Elon Musk took a sip of coffee and continued unhurriedly:
"Do you really think that the other party is mentally retarded? Or do you think I am mentally retarded? Or do you ignore the launch of the 'Light Shield System' on the coastline last year? Of course, if that's all, I will be happy to help this so-called person. After all, I am also an American.
But with all due respect, the thing I can’t tolerate the most is working with teammates who are like pigs and being cheated to death by teammates who are like pigs.”
"The current strength of Coastline in the fifth space, I really don't know where your confidence comes from. General Hot, the supreme commander of Udeid, you can deceive the world, but you can't deceive me."
"So when things are revealed, you can walk away and let SpaceX, the company and me be the scapegoat? Just like Holt?"
"Don't even think about it!"
The increasingly irritated Elon Musk finished speaking and stared at the other party silently. The reception room fell into a long silence as his voice disappeared.
At the end, Eli Golden said with a look of regret: "You are a great American entrepreneur, but I deeply regret your position at this moment and feel extremely sorry for Mr. Musk."
At this moment, Elon Musk took out a Cuban cigar from his pocket, lit it, took a puff, poured out the smoke and said lightly: "I am also deeply honored for your disappointment and regret, Mr. Golden!
"
Eli Golden: “…”
There was nothing left to talk about, so Eli Golden stood up and left with a straight face, without even saying goodbye.
Elon Musk, who was sitting on the sofa, chewed his cigar and said, "Slowly go!"
As soon as the CIA people left, his face immediately became gloomy. After a while, his secretary came in, put out the cigar he had just lit and still put it in the ashtray. He stood up and said: "Kasha, bring the coastline cooperation business
The person in charge called me to my office and asked him to see me immediately."
After speaking, he took two steps, stepped on the broken USB disk on the floor, and looked down at it.
"Sweep the floor."
He doesn't give any face to CIA, what kind of international joke are he making? These people are simply bastards.
Elon Musk, who holds the title of "Silicon Valley Iron Man", is also one of the long-established tycoons in the global technology circle and one of the earliest players on the Internet. He absolutely does not believe the Pentagon's claims about the paralysis of the Al-Udeid base.
That way.
How stupid is this person to bring one of his extremely important military bases in the Middle East to almost complete paralysis? It is the greatest misfortune that the US military is led by such a group of idiots.
Although he had no access to the actual facts, Elon Musk trusted his instincts more. They messed up and Holt was a scapegoat.
To work with such a pig teammate and someone who cheats his teammates, Elon Musk feels that he will not agree unless his brain is kicked by a donkey. He 100% believes that once the matter is exposed and screwed up, Holt will serve as a warning.
He will be ruined, lose the cooperation of Coastline, Tesla is finished, SpaceX is finished, who will dare to use Falcon rocket to launch commercial satellites in the future?
In the end, he was doomed, pushing all shareholders to the opposite side. He even firmly believed that whether it was Tesla or SpaceX, all shareholders would add insult to injury. At this time, they reached a tacit consensus to attack him together, leaving behind
He kicked out to preserve the interests of both companies.
The key is that even if the two companies are sold, they will not be able to pay the agreed compensation in the contract, which is a sky-high price of 20 billion US dollars. For this reason, Elon Musk is extremely vain about this business, although the probability of this is extremely small.
It's small, but if it really happened, I really couldn't afford to pay for it, so I bought an insurance for this, which means I bought the insurance for 30% of the profit from the cooperation, and the insurance company was also very weak.
No wonder "Iron Man" looks so ugly.
However, this incident made Elon Musk more vigilant. The main launch site of the Falcon rocket is at Cape Canaveral Air Force Base, so he had to be extra vigilant against CIA secretly making small moves.
Although Elon Musk is non-committal about some secret games and activities, he does not want to be entangled in such things.
The most critical point is that Elon Musk is very cautious and pays enough attention to his partner Ye Hua. Even if he cannot become a partner with him, he does not want to completely break up with him. This will not be a good thing for himself or the company.
…
China Space Technology Research Institute, Satellite Manufacturing Factory.
Ye Hua flew to the capital and came to the center of the satellite manufacturing plant to check and understand the progress. Satellite manufacturing is a major representative of a country in the field of high-end manufacturing and cutting-edge technology.
This time, in order to build a space-based power transmission system, Coastline Group’s total investment budget has reached nearly RMB 200 billion. It is led by Liferay and has directly participated in more than 800 major supply chain manufacturers, both state-owned and private enterprises, with core participation
The manufacturers include Xianfeng Nano, a subsidiary of Coastline Group, and more than 100 domestic semiconductor manufacturers in the WSIO system. All major equipment comes from more than ten and twenty provinces across the country.
At this moment, in the satellite assembly workshop, Luo Hua, who was wearing dust-free clothes, and academician Li Peiyuan, the person in charge of the satellite manufacturing and assembly, and others were walking.
"Only our country can achieve the large-scale and efficient mass production of such sophisticated satellite equipment." Ye Hua couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the busy workers in the assembly workshop, and then looked at Li Peiyuan and others.
Added: "Of course, the money must be in place."
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter.
Chief Engineer Li Peiyuan also said with a smile: "For such a large-scale outer space project, even if Europeans and Americans have money, they have to have global division of labor and global support. Only my country has a complete industrial system. It is enough to provide nationwide support and national division of labor. Any parts can be supplied by qualified manufacturers in the country. This cannot be done in the United States. In the past, the semiconductor industry was controlled by foreigners. Now that you have broken this, it will be more perfect. .”
"Brother Ye, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Pang De, who was accompanying the crowd, said.
"Shit, what else are you talking about if you don't talk about it? Talk about it!" Ye Hua said with a smile.
"Then let me tell you. When you cooperate with the Americans and hand over half of the satellites to SpaceX, an American company, to undertake the launch mission, have you considered safety issues?" Pound said frankly and bluntly, paused for a moment, and added
: "Satellite launches need to be transported to North America by air. If the Americans try to cause trouble... this is not an ordinary engineering project, it is a major event related to international people's livelihood."
"Don't worry, Lao Pang. These are all under my consideration. Please have some confidence in the 'Light Shield System' I developed." Ye Hua said nonchalantly: "Another issue, the Americans are more worried about you than me.
More worried.”
"Where do you start talking about this?" Academician Li Peiyuan said in confusion.
"Haha, of course it's my partner Elon Musk. My money is indeed easy to make. I can easily make a lot of profits, but it's not that easy to make. It's exactly what you are worried about, Lao Pang.
It happened. According to the signed agreement, Musk’s SpaceX and Tesla combined are not enough to compensate.” Ye Hua added with a smile:
"Of course, Lao Pang's concerns are not unreasonable. It is not surprising at all that Americans do such bad things, so we have to send reliable professionals to keep an eye on the satellites landing in North America 24 hours a day to prevent any random people from getting close."
"Another point is that the space-based power transmission system is a set of components and mother systems, or core and edge. The core is of course over our country. These satellites are all launched by our rockets. The satellites entrusted to the Americans for launch are edge components.
The system covers continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and South Korea; the satellites entrusted to the Russians for launch are also marginal subsystems, and the coverage area is the United States and Latin America."
"The core system we launched covers the Middle East, our homeland, the subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Mainly, we will guarantee 33 satellites over our homeland."
When Pound heard Ye Hua's layout idea, he thought about it and couldn't help but applaud. The satellites he commissioned the Americans to launch would cover the areas covered by his allies or "relatives". If something went wrong in the future, the younger brothers from the United States would also respond.
The eldest brother has a grudge, and the satellites commissioned by the Russians to be launched cover the continental United States, which has the same purpose.
This layout also curbs Americans' mischievous intentions to a certain extent.
Pang De couldn't help but laughed and said: "With so many guarantees, it seems that I worry too much. Brother Ye is bold and careful in handling things. He is courageous but cautious."
