American Fortune Life

"...That was a complete rumor. Andy once told me about your criticism of him. He was very grateful for that. After all, he himself admitted that it was the darkest time in his life.

Many media chose to make sarcastic remarks and ridicule. He told me that he was very confused at that time and could not see a glimmer of light. Except for Carl, oh, Carl was his former agent, who had been by his side to help and encourage him. People have given him positive advice, and your criticism is very direct and sincere, rather than ridicule, so there is no resentment. . . "

Andy, who left the Four Seasons Hotel early in the morning, is lazily leaning on the boss chair, with his feet on the desk, yawning, watching TV, Ivana has a charming smile on her face, and said gracefully Come, cause the audience's applause and Oprah's applause and smile.

"It's really gratifying to see that he can get out of the trough and create miracles. Therefore, the conflict between me and Andy Smith that you said does not exist. It can finally be clarified. You must know that his fans have How crazy...”

"Ha ha--"

The whole audience burst into laughter, and Ivana was also trembling with laughter, her red lips were slightly pursed, revealing her white and shiny white teeth, and she reached out to brush her drooping golden curly hair. When the laughter faded away, Ivana Some empathy comforts Oprah.

"Believe me Oprah, the craziest fans are on my facebook and they never stop hating me..."

"Ha ha--"

This time, even Oprah laughed and laughed, and Andy shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly. Some media specifically reported that Ivana's Facebook followers had tens of millions, but the media said they followed Ivan Many of Na's Facebook accounts are Andy's crazy fans, which are specially used to attack Ivana.

It can be said that Ivana's Facebook is simply hell.

"It really takes a strong heart to have such an excellent boyfriend! However, it's no wonder his fans are so crazy. He also treats them really well and maintains them very much, just like exchanging transcripts for tuition fees before." , and the crazy mobile game that is now popular all over the world, that stupid bird, my God, that is a disaster..."

Oprah's words aroused the sympathy and echo of the audience, and Ivana also shook her head helplessly and laughed.

"Ivana, we all saw the score you posted on Facebook, I'm curious, well, a question that almost everyone is curious about, what is the score of Andy, a developer..."

There were noisy boos and inquiries one after another, and Ivana shook her head and smiled lightly and said, "Actually, I'm also curious.

However, after he developed it, he has never played this game. He told me that he would not play this game. . . Because it is too difficult. "

"Ha ha--"

Andy in front of the TV smiled lightly. Ivana's performance on Oprah's talk show this time can be evaluated with full marks. Whether it's clothing, makeup, or speech, she is very elegant and calm.

Since the two got together, Ivana, who used to be inseparable from her father CP for three sentences on the show, has also become three sentences that cannot be separated from her boyfriend. Ivana is also very happy about this, and she just hopes everyone knows How sweet and loving she and Andy Smith are, how happy she is.

After turning off the TV and checking the time, Andy opened the video window of the computer on the desk, and soon a beautiful face with a bit of baby fat appeared on the monitor. Naturally, it was his queen. In the morning, I will take time to make video calls with Saihuang, and coax him to sleep.

If you want the small head to live a comfortable life, the big head will suffer. Things in the world are fair. If you want to occupy more resources, you will naturally need to spend more time and energy.

Singing a song, coaxing the big-bellied Empress Saihuang with upturned lips to sleep, looking at the pretty face on the computer screen that was so familiar and fascinated him, it has become very cute because of the baby's fat, and his mood is full of emotions .

Every time he looks at the familiar and exciting faces of his own women, he feels a little unreal in a trance. Although he has slept with many goddesses, he still can't prevent the appearance of this emotion, even if it's just a moment of trance .

While Andy was immersed in a blissful trance, in a star hotel in New York, Elon Musk, facing a computer, was in a deadlock of quarreling with all the shareholders in the video conference.

"Elon, I thought we were good friends..."

"Jeff, of course we are good friends, you shouldn't question our friendship." Musk said with an ugly face.

"Then why didn't you tell us about Andy Smith's acquisition earlier, those of us only saw it from media reports, Elon, I'm a little disappointed."

"Jeff, they wanted to take advantage of the fire and only offered an offer of 200 million US dollars. You all know that our assets and patents are more than this price. They have no sincerity at all. Everyone, you know, electric sports cars will soon be available. It’s on the market, followed by mass production, delivering the first batch of orders, and we’re about to see results..."

"Elon, how do you solve the cost of the first batch of orders is much higher than the previous pricing, a temporary price increase? Ten thousand dollars, or twenty thousand dollars? Will the pre-order customers agree? If there is no price increase, how do you solve the price we bought? The more, the more serious the loss, almost every car will lose more than 20,000 US dollars, should we continue to invest money in it?

Elon, let's face it, Tesla is on the verge of bankruptcy, and even the salaries of employees can't be paid. From the initial 40 people to the current 150-person research team. . . It's really too expensive! "

This time it was Elon Musk's best friend Larry Page of Google who spoke. He lost his usual smile and his expression was a bit dignified. He had complaints about Elon Musk's concealment of someone's bid for the acquisition.

Environmentally-friendly electric vehicles are a market where no one can see the future clearly. In the early 1990s, General Motors conducted an experiment, which ended in failure and announced its abandonment in 2002. This incident also made General Motors infamy. Their failed attempt ended everyone's imagination and possibility, and scared off all automakers who wanted to try. Since then, the electric vehicle project has stagnated.

The ideal is crazy, but the reality is very skinny. This group of high-income earners and celebrities with environmental awareness were persuaded by Musk's beautiful blueprint and sense of responsibility to society, and joined this gamble in the future. Unfortunately, it looks like it will fail again.

Now there is an opportunity for them to return the money they thought was wasted money back to their own hands, and they can also make a small profit. The side of being a businessman occupies the main body of everyone. Now it is the time of the subprime mortgage crisis. Everyone is looking for money, and no one has any surplus food.

"Believe me, everyone, we Tesla can really survive the past, as long as we find a way to deliver the first batch of orders, we will immediately start developing mass-produced electric cars..."

Everyone on the computer screen shook their heads in disappointment. Larry Page said, "Elon, we all support the development of environmentally friendly electric vehicles, but research and development requires a lot of manpower and financial resources. Where does the money come from? Now Under the economic situation, there is nothing we can do. Do you personally continue to invest more? What about your x rocket project? How long can you last?

Elon, we are friends. We don’t want to see you ruin your future stubbornly in order to prove something. The people here don’t have as many shares as you. It’s up to you to decide whether to be acquired, but if This time you refused to be acquired, I hope you can understand my divestment request, sorry. "

Elon Musk looked at Larry Page's window, which was already blacked out, and listened to the similar remarks of the remaining people, and the video windows that were closed one by one. He leaned against the boss's chair with a gloomy face, and did not move for a long time .

Musk knew that this time, he was cornered by a random interview with Andy Smith. If he rejected Andy's acquisition offer, he would not only lose some friendships, but also become a collective ridicule by the media who didn't know the truth. , He was originally a fringe figure in Silicon Valley, braggart, madman, and the nickname of big talker has never been taken off his head.

In particular, he had just kicked out the co-founder, Martin, the real owner of Tesla, which had aroused strong dissatisfaction in the company, and the payment of wages due to tight funds has become a problem.

All the media are saying that Musk's finances have collapsed. He only has hundreds of thousands of deposits, and he has to take civil aviation. It is almost impossible to fool people into investing money, not to mention that Andy Smith made such a move, I believe his future financing will be even more difficult.

"Huh - I, Musk, have never lacked dreams!"

Andy, who was listening to Al's report on the phone, couldn't help turning his mouth up. He said noncommittally to Tesla's request to form a negotiating team and negotiate with them: "...just lacking some money!"

"The most important thing is that his personal appeal is not as great as he imagined. In fact, it is a matter of capital. No one will pay for his so-called dream, because he does not have the shoulders and strength to carry Tesla forward alone. Okay, boss, you should come up with a slogan for your dream, I believe many people will rush to follow your dream!" Alvit Liebi knew where Elon Musk's problems were, and began to confuse his boss into a big flicker.

"Hehe, it's not easy, let's suffocate our dreams together!" Andy, who was smiling, didn't even think about it, and casually yelled out the famous saying of the famous big fool in China.
