Chapter 558

Boston prawns, beef airlifted from Wellington, caviar from Norway

Such a wonderful dinner!

That's what Zhuke is now. If you change him from a few years ago?

Ha ha, absolutely stingy.

Once upon a time, when Zhuke's family was only a few million or tens of millions, when he entertained his friends John lassett, James Sean and Condi, it was called stingy and stingy.

Well, let's find out about street snacks.

However, the current Zhuke, although dare not say that he is very generous and generous, can not be called stingy.

"I'd like to introduce you, junk. This is my girlfriend Isabella. She's a British model of Vimy." Elon Musk said.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Wald," Isabella, the beautiful model, said to Zucker immediately

"Nice to meet you, too, Miss Isabella," Juk replied

"Well, Zhuk, your girlfriend Miss Lima, why isn't she here?"

Suddenly musk wondered.

Chucker said with a smile: "you know, after she retired from the modeling industry, she started a women's fashion goods store in thatchril. There are several T-stage performances in Paris fashion week these two days. She is invited to go there and plans to contact with several designers to expand the inside information of thatchril goods store."

Musk and Isabella nodded.

Zhuke looked at them playfully.

"Clearly a playboy, but claiming to be a saint of love, it's just funny." There's a secret in Zhuk's heart.

Musk, a well-known young entrepreneur, has not yet owned space-x or Tesla. He has not been able to rise. Compared with Zhuke, he is only a younger brother.

However, he is really romantic!

After dinner, the topic comes to the point.

"Zucker, actually, I'm here to seek investment from you." Musk is open to the mountain road.

"Eh?"

Juxton frowned and said, "man, you and I are both shareholders of PayPal. You have more shares than me. Even affected by the current Internet downturn, those shares are worth at least $80 million. Will you be short of money?"

In his mind, he should not be short of money.

Of course, the family conditions of his origin are also very good, which is not much better than the civilian born jobs.

In August 1981, IBM made the world's first personal computer, and our 10-year-old friend musk owned one in that year.

What does that mean?

Zhuke added: "Zip2, the online content publishing software under your name, also has a lot of cash flow. What kind of assets do you want me to invest in?"

Hearing the speech, musk immediately exclaimed: "Zhuke, Zip2, an online content publishing software, I sold it to Compaq as early as 1999. My cash flow is caught in the stock market and I'm short of money. "

Zucker was stunned.

You don't have to tell me. Zucker really doesn't know about it.

Of course, speaking of online content publishing software Zip2, this company is indeed a brilliant investment of Elon Musk.

In 1995, Elon Musk, who was only 24 years old at that time, got $28000 from his father and started Zip2 company with his brother, jinbar musk.

Zip2 started with a capital of only $40000.

But in 1999

Elon Musk and his younger brother, Kim Barr musk, sold to computer giant Compaq for more than $300 million, and received $22 million and $15 million in cash, respectively.

In just four years, the musk brothers made a lot of money!

If Zhuke is not a passer-by, he absolutely believes that musk is also open.

"Which industry do you want to invest in?" Zucker had a vague guess.

In the following time, Elon Musk showed his excellent eloquence.

......

"At the beginning of 2001, I planned a project called" Mars oasis ". I planned to build a small experimental greenhouse on Mars to let the crops from the earth try to grow in the soil of Mars. However, I found that the cost of buying launch vehicles from Russian aerospace company and American space agency is too high, which is almost a price I can't afford. "

"I've been fighting with them for several months, and they won't lower the price for me."

"Of course I'm not happy!"

"Since they don't give me a low price, I'll do it myself! I don't believe it. Who says private companies can't develop rocket technology? "

......

In his words, musk was impassioned and kept telling Zhuke what he thought.

"Zhuke, how about we create a space airline together?"

"I've got a name. It's space-x!"

......

I'll finish with a few words.

Zucker was frightened.

A madman is a madman!

Later, he was known as the "Iron Man" of reality, which was not a joke.

The Russian space agency and the American space agency did not provide them with low-cost launch vehicles, so they had the impulse to develop their own rockets.

Listen, can ordinary people do this?

It's not a treat, it's not a house, it's a rocket!

"Musk, before you ask me for investment, you should also ask other people for investment," he said

"There is such a thing," Musk said with a smile

That's right~

Before meeting Zhuke, he met with many investors, a total of more than 20, but the result was that everyone looked at him like a madman.

"Private enterprises explore space and build rockets. Are you crazy?"

"Are you kidding? You're a private space exploration company that can compete with NASA?"

"You are a madman!"

"Don't be kidding. Be down-to-earth. This project is a bottomless pit for money. Only a fool can go crazy with you!"

......

Yes, everyone turned musk down.

In the original space-time era, musk founded space-x in 2002, which was an independent investment and did not receive any foreign investment.

In 2006, he still failed to win the trust of the market. So he invested $100 million alone.

In 2008, the outbreak of the financial crisis, musk also ushered in the low ebb of life, his rocket three times failed, tens of millions of dollars of investment, into the fireball after the explosion.

have suffered repeated defeats!

However, in 2009, he ushered in the outbreak!

The Tesla car it invested in went public;

Space exploration technology's rockets have also successfully developed a number of new technologies, obtained low interest loans of more than 500 million US dollars, and the company has made profits.

In 2020, the market value of Musk's Tesla automobile (the first brother in the auto industry) will exceed 360 billion US dollars;

Space-x, though not listed in 2020, is valued at US $46 billion;

A proper counter attack!

"Zhuke, you must believe me that space is absolutely the largest blue ocean of mankind so far. Once we send the rocket produced by new rocket technology into space, the huge value will definitely make us get crazy profits."

"Moreover, when our technology matures, we can provide space travel for those billionaires. It's not too much to charge them 20 million dollars at a time, hehe. "

"Man, you don't need a lot of investment in the early stage. You just need to invest 10 million US dollars in me. After three years, this money will definitely increase ten times and one hundred times!"

Huyou, Huyou!

In order to obtain the investment of Zhuke, he is shameless

Three years?

Chucker said to himself with a smile: "by 2008, your Rockets have not been successfully launched. They have turned into fireballs one after another."

Refuse?

Of course not!

Since 2009, space-x has made a fortune. It's not a joke that it has a valuation of 46 billion US dollars in 2020.

In the end, Zucker agreed with musk to invest $10 million.

The third shift will be delivered, and the minister will continue to increase the shift tomorrow.
