Chapter 1504: The Visit of the Legendary Musk
Before returning home from the trip, the academic delegation still made a round trip from California.
First, Ni Guangnan and Hu Zhengmin wanted to make a report and exchange with Wu Tao on the results of this academic visit.
Second, because of the academic report of the last stop, I chose the University of California, Berkeley.
The specific liveliness, Wu Tao didn't go to make it up.
But when he was leaving, Wu Tao seriously kept them and wanted to keep them for the New Year together.
As a result, it was rejected by both Ni Guangnan and Hu Zhengmin.
Ni Guangnan's attitude of refusal is stern, with this time for the New Year, wouldn't it be nice for me to work overtime in the research institute?
Hu Zhengmin is very tactful, but it is probably due to the feelings generated by this visit.
Since this is the case, Wu Tao does not force it.
It is precisely because of such outstanding talents that Huaxia Core Workers has the possibility of catching up.
After seeing off the delegation, on the way back from the airport, Wu Tao went back to the office of the Global Strategy Department by the way.
When I first got downstairs, I was met by Molly limping out.
Seeing Wu Tao come back, Molly turned around without hesitation and followed Wu Tao back into the elevator.
"Are you in trouble?" Wu Tao put aside the softness on his elbows, and his face was righteous and awe-inspiring.
Molly shook her head disappreciatively, "NONO." It's just the corners of his mouth that are going up crazily, and it doesn't look like what NONO means.
Wu Tao didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Then, the elevator door opened, and then Wu Tao was stunned.
Is this coming?
Before Wu Tao glanced at the elevator to confirm, he was interrupted by a gloating voice behind him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Huaxia Wu is here for you. If you have any projects or ideas, be sure to seize this opportunity!"
Molly finished yelling, and her smile grew to the point where she began to lean forward and fold her back.
In the next second, Wu Tao was surrounded by a crowd of people.
Wu Tao was very depressed, because he was the office of the Strategy Department, not the investment banking headquarters of Tianqi Investment.
Why are there so many crazy entrepreneurs all at once?
It's just that now this reason, if you want to talk to them, I'm afraid it won't work.
Otherwise, Molly wouldn't have come up with her to see such a joke.
More than ten minutes later, after agreeing to the enthusiastic entrepreneurs' request for an interview, Wu Tao was able to get out of the crowd and return to his office.
Molly followed.
As soon as he entered the door, he slapped Wu Tao firmly on his buttocks.
"If you don't tell me, I'm waiting to see my jokes!"
Molly was caught off guard, and instead of retreating, she crossed her waist and said, "I just want to see your jokes, if you have the ability, you can continue to fight!"
That's something to fear.
"Okay!" Wu Tao nodded, his eyes revealing playfulness, "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, I won't beat you." But for those entrepreneurs outside, I'm responsible for half of it, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”
"Huh?" Molly's face suddenly fell, "I specially ran out of the Quantum Fund just to avoid them......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wu Tao: "If you don't want to, in fact, I can't do anything, anyway, we will still be partners in the future, and we will definitely not be able to do ......anything with your quantum fund."
This killed Molly, and she didn't believe it.
Then, without waiting for Wu Tao to finish speaking, she raised her slender hand and shouted: "I DO, I DO......"
The impatient voice made outsiders sound like they thought the proposal was successful.
Soon, the group interviews began.
In front of the crazy entrepreneurs, Wu Tao obviously felt that he was like a beautiful woman with good looks and money.
The thirsty eyes of each one can't wait to pounce on them.
Even so, Wu Tao still patiently chatted with them about the explosion points of their respective projects, monetization models and sustainable development strategies......
And then......
Then he saw that in the office next to him, Molly's group, people were coming in and out very quickly.
That's a lot more efficient than my own group.
Wu Tao exchanged glances with his assistant Liu Ruoxi, and then his words became sharp.
Every time, I ask three times with my conscience: Does your project have a breaking point, what is it, and what do you think of it?
If the entrepreneur has carried this first wave, Wu Tao will immediately send out a second wave of follow-up questions.
How do you plan to monetize, what is the expected monetization rate, and is there any possibility of growth in the future?
Many entrepreneurs can't withstand the first wave.
Even if they survived the first wave, many fell in the second wave.
In this way, efficiency quickly comes up.
Until Liu Ruoxi quietly handed him a copy of the material, and whispered: "Boss, this person's resume is not bad......"
Wu Tao raised his eyes and looked: Elon Musk.
This is a legend in memory.
His plans seem absolutely fantastical, but the legend is legendary, and everyone has slowly realized it.
Raising his head, Wu Tao finally saw a real person, with a resolute face with sharp edges and corners.
At first glance, it looks a little aggressive, but after a few more glances, it is smooth.
But the entrepreneur's interview is destined to be sharp, at least Wu Tao's sharp tone has not changed.
Glancing at the materials submitted by the other party, Wu Tao suddenly found the entry point, "Mr. Musk, since you used to be a shareholder of PayPal, what do you think about your company's refusal to cooperate with Yuanqi Technology's Kuaifubao?"
"I'm sorry, honorable Huaxia Wu," Musk said without panic, "but please don't blame Peter's decision in the first place." Because he really couldn't be the master at that time, he was a little compelled to do so. ”
"As for the final result, I believe you have also seen that the founders of PayPal, including me and Peter, have basically been kicked out. ”
Wu Tao nodded, and accepted this explanation: "Then it's really a pity." ”
"Even so, I was surprised to be able to hand you over on this occasion. As far as I know, you've gotten a new round of funding and are working on your own EV plans. So, is there anything else I can do to help you?"
Musk nodded: "The electric vehicle program is already progressing steadily, and it is expected that within three years, we will launch a pure electric family car to the market." ”
"But I'm here today for another idea, which I call the Life on Mars program......"
With Musk's eloquent talk, Wu Tao's deep-seated memories of the other party were also slowly outlined.
In fact, whether it is the electric vehicle plan or the Mars landing plan, in the initial stage, that is, in the current period, it is not a success.
Especially in the case of the subprime mortgage crisis in the US imperialist market in the next three to five years.
So when Musk finished talking, Wu Tao decisively said: "Mr. Musk, I appreciate your ideas and creativity. But from a business point of view, the stage you are currently at in these two plans is not a suitable period for Apocalypse Investment. ”
"Maybe in three or five years, we'll reconsider. But for now, you can consider our angel round investment plan......"
