Boston prawns, beef from Wellington, Norwegian caviar...

Such a great dinner!

This is the current Zhu Ke, if you changed him a few years ago?

Hehe, absolutely stingy.

Once upon a time, probably when Zucker's net worth was only a few million or tens of millions, when he entertained his friends John Lasseter, James Sean, Candy, and others, he was called a stingy and stingy Soso.

Well, street food to find out.

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

"Zuck, let me introduce you, this is my female partner Isabella, a British model of Victoria's Secret." Elon Musk introduced.

The beautiful model Isabella immediately said hello to Zucker: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Wald."

Zucker responded, "Nice to meet you too, Miss Isabella."

"Hey, Zucker, your girlfriend Miss Lima, why isn't she here?"

Suddenly Musk wondered.

Zuke smiled and said: "You know, after she retired from the modeling industry, didn't she set up a ThatGril women's fashion store? There were several catwalk performances in Paris Fashion Week in France in the past two days. Get in touch with a famous designer and expand the heritage of ThatGril's supply store."

Musk and Isabella nodded.

Zucker looked at the two of them playfully.

"Obviously he's a playboy, but he claims to be a lover. It's a joke." Zu Ke secretly thought.

Musk, the current little-known young entrepreneur, who has not yet owned Space-X and Tesla cars, has yet to gain momentum. Compared with Zucker, his net worth can only be regarded as one. younger brother.

However, he is indeed very romantic!

After the meal was over, the topic got to the point.

"Zuck, in fact, I came this time to seek investment from you." Musk said straight to the point.

"Uh?"

Zucker immediately frowned and said: "Man, you and I are both PayPal shareholders, you have more shares than me, and even if it is affected by the current Internet downturn, those shares are worth at least $80 million, and you will be short of money. ?"

In this impression, he should not be short of money.

Of course, the family conditions he came from are also very good. Compared with Jobs, who came from a civilian, it is not much better.

In August 1981, IBM made the world's first personal computer, and Musk, our 10-year-old kid at the time, had one that year.

This shows what?

Zu Ke added: "Zip2, the online content publishing software under your name, also has a lot of cash flow. You seek investment from me, and what kind of assets are you doing?"

Hearing this, Musk immediately shouted: "Zuck, the online content publishing software Zip2, I sold it to Compaq as early as 1999. My current cash flow is caught by the stock market and I am short of money."

Zucker was stunned.

Don't tell me, Zu Ke really doesn't know about this.

Of course, when it comes to online content publishing software Zip2, it is indeed a brilliant investment by Elon Musk.

In 1995, Elon Musk, who was only 24 years old at the time, received $28,000 from his father to start Zip2 with his younger brother Kimbal Musk and others.

Zip2 started out with just $40,000 in assets.

But in 1999...

Elon Musk and his brother Kimbal Musk were sold to computer giant Compaq for more than $300 million, for $22 million and $15 million in cash, respectively.

In just 4 years, the Musk brothers made a lot of money!

If Zucker is not a traverser, I definitely believe that Musk is also an existence.

"Which industry are you looking for for investment from me?" Zhu Ke had some vague guesses.

In the following time, Elon Musk showed his very good eloquence.

......

"In early 2001, I planned a project called 'Mars Oasis', which planned to build a small experimental greenhouse on Mars, and let crops from Earth try to grow in the soil of Mars. However, I found that whether it is Roscosmos, or NASA, the cost of buying launch vehicles from them is too high, almost a price that I cannot afford.”

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

"Of course I'm not happy!"

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

......

In his speech, Musk was impassioned and kept telling Zucker about his thoughts.

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

"I've already thought about the name, it's called Space-X!"

......

Finished talking.

Zucker was secretly startled.

A madman is indeed a madman!

It was later hailed as the real-life version of "Iron Man", and it really wasn't a joke.

Roscosmos and the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration did not provide them with low-cost launch vehicles, and this fellow had the urge to develop their own rockets.

Listen, can ordinary people do this?

This is not a dinner party, not a house, but a rocket building, dear!

Zucker said in a low tone: "Musk, before you seek investment from me, you should also seek investment from others."

Musk shyly smiled: "There is such a thing."

Isn't it?

Before meeting Zucker, he met with many investors, more than 20 in number, but the result he got was that everyone looked at him as if they were looking at a madman or a madman.

"Private companies explore space and build rockets, are you crazy?!"

"What a joke, you run a private space exploration company that can compete with NASA?"

"You are a lunatic!"

"Stop joking, be down-to-earth, this project is clearly a bottomless pit for money, and a fool will accompany you to go crazy!"

......

Yes, everyone rejected Musk.

In the original time and space, Musk founded Space Exploration Technology Company (Space-X) in 2002, investing alone and did not receive any foreign investment.

In 2006, he still failed to gain the trust of the market. So he invested $100 million on his own.

In 2008, when the financial crisis broke out, Musk also ushered in a low point in his life. His rockets failed three times, and the investment of tens of millions of dollars turned into a big fireball after the explosion.

Repeatedly defeated!

However, in 2009, he ushered in an explosion!

The Tesla car it invested in went public;

SpaceX's rockets have also successfully developed a number of new technologies, obtained more than $500 million in low-interest loans, and the company has made a profit.

In 2020, the market value of Musk’s Tesla Motors (the first brother in the spontaneous combustion world) will exceed $360 billion;

Space Exploration Technology Company (Space-X), although it will not be listed in 2020, but its valuation is as high as 46 billion US dollars;

A proper counterattack!

"Zuke, you must believe me, space is definitely the biggest blue ocean for human beings so far. Once we send rockets produced by new rocket technology into space, the huge value will definitely allow us to get crazy benefits."

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

"Man, you don't need a lot of initial investment. You only need to invest 10 million US dollars in me. After three years, the money will definitely increase tenfold and a hundredfold!"

Flicker, flicker hard!

In order to get Zucker's investment, he was simply shameless.

In three years?

Zucker smiled to himself: "By 2008, your rockets failed to launch, and they all turned into fireballs one after another."

refuse?

of course not!

Since 2009, the space exploration technology company (Space-X) has been completely prosperous, and it has changed a day. It has a valuation of $46 billion in 2020. It is no joke.

In the end, Zucker agreed to Musk and invested $10 million in funding.

The third update of "" will be sent, and the minister will continue to update it tomorrow.
