The rich and entrepreneurs at home and abroad are simply two species, and to say that Bezos was richer than the domestic little brother and the richest man in China in 2000 would be nonsense. Musk is not a top rich man even after ten years. But people just have the courage to try new directions and open up an unknown market. To work hard for the future of human society, for their own ideals. The rich in China only know how to cheat money with games, constantly accumulate wealth through various means, sell fake advertisements and drink people's # blood for their own wealth and status. The entire culture of the country has been led astray by these people, so that most wealthy people can do anything to succeed in money.

"By the way, you're in a great car. "Tesla, as a luxury sports car, has done a very good job for user experience.

"Thanks for the compliment, I think it's pretty good!" Musk

"Where are your cars manufactured, OEM or self-built factories?" Zhou Shi

"We are different from other car companies, of course, we build our own factories, and I am also ready to use more robots to replace human labor in the future!" Musk

"Robots replace humans, do you want a successful car company or build a super cool factory?" Zhou Shi

"It's not a conflict, robots can save labor costs. "Elon Musk

"Well, I'm not familiar with this either, and it always feels wrong. "Zhou Shi

"You're optimistic and promise to surprise you with the future. "Elon Musk

Of course, you will be surprised that your approach has made Tesla lose money for a long time, and later had to compromise to build a factory in Huaxia to reduce costs. It also caused a collective short selling on Wall Street, can you not be surprised?

"Hey, are you all there?" The two were chatting, two people walked over, Zhou Shi looked back, one of them was Peter Thiel, and the other was quite young, looking a little familiar, as if they had met, but I forgot who it was.

"Yes, we're talking about Tesla, and Musk is going to be scolded again!" Zhou Shi said casually, the news is about to be made public, and it will not be kept secret, and the relationship between Peter Thiel and Musk is much closer than that between Zhou Shi and Musk. They are two bigwigs of the "PayPal gang".

"He deserves it, and I'm here to scold him. Peter Thiel seemed to have known about it for a long time, and Zhou Shi was not surprised at all.

"This can't be done, you all come to scold me, I'd better withdraw first. With that, Musk pushed the two away and walked into the distance.

Zhou Shi's visit to Tesla this time is not only a normal social interaction, but also the reason why Peter Thiel invited him. Now that both sides have arrived, Musk has not been involved.

"Do you want a cup of coffee?" Zhou Shi didn't stop Musk, took the initiative to communicate with Peter and the two, and got a positive answer, Zhou Shi made two cups of coffee for them.

"It's such a treat to have billionaires make coffee for us!"

"Oh, just call me when you need me, or you come to me, I'll be there for you at any time. "Zhou Shi has no concept of money, anyway, he has never been short of money. Billionaires are floating clouds, and most of the time Zhou Shi, who lives in seclusion, doesn't have much feeling about this wealth.

"Well, then, when I'm going to have coffee, don't shirk it!" Peter

"No problem, as long as I'm free!" Zhou Shicai would not be fooled, how could he agree to an infinitely wide range of conditions. Whether you are free or not is not up to Zhou Shi's own choice.

"Looks like I'm going to have coffee, and I'm going to find Joe Lonsdale," Peter Thiel patted the young man next to him on the shoulder. Joe smiled and didn't say much.

"Oh, that's good, to be valued by you, Joe may be the next billionaire!" Zhou Shi echoed.

"He's on the road to growth, and he needs everyone's help. Now we are here to ask for your help. "Peter Thiel

"How do you need help?" Zhou Shi and they both sat down on the sofa.

"Palantir, a big data services company, focuses on big data mining, processing, and visual analysis display, through the integration and processing of massive data, the correlation analysis of specific people, places, entities and activities, and finally the visualization of relationships for decision-making and judgment. It is also a company whose main mission is to protect the fundamental rights and privacy of citizens, and is committed to providing the best solutions in the field of intelligence analysis and financial capital, while realizing the protection of citizens' fundamental rights. Peter Thiel's long list of words made Zhou Shi a little confused, and he didn't understand it very well.

"Simply put, it's about analyzing and processing a large amount of data. "Joe Lonsdale

"Big data, I know, Time Friends also have research in this area, what are the technical advantages of your company?"

"Our strengths are....... It's not a single data solution, it's flexible and compatible enough to adapt to the massive data processing needs of any organization. "Joe Lonsdale

"What is his market prospect and the specific scope of use?" Zhou Shi asked

"We have two main products – Palantir Gotham and Palantir Metropolis, which is mainly used in the areas of intelligence, law enforcement and defense and security, and Metropolis is used in the financial sector related to bank fraud and hedge fund quantitative data analysis. "Joe Lonsdale

"In the fields of intelligence, law enforcement, and national defense and security, I'm a foreigner and I'm Chinese, is that appropriate?" Zhou Shi subconsciously refused.

"There's nothing wrong with that, you can be a financial investor in our company, or let Galaxy Capital invest too. "Peter

"Okay, but I need to know more about him. "Zhou Shi

"Of course, there is no problem. "Peter Thiel

What Zhou Shi didn't know was that Palantir is a unicorn company in the big data industry, with a market value of more than $20 billion in the future, and there will be two famous cases: one is that Palantir played an important role in big data intelligence analysis in the U.S. pursuit of Ben**, and the other is that Palantir assisted a number of banks in recovering billions of dollars hidden by Bernie Madoff, the former chairman of the Nasdaq. The application of big data is far beyond the scope of what Zhou Shi knows, whether it is scientific research, intelligence, or personal hobbies, there is a place for big data. If combined with artificial intelligence, his role will be even more important. Supercomputers and cloud computing also provide a strong hardware foundation and computing power support for both.

For such a relatively unfamiliar industry, Zhou Shi will definitely not say that he will invest, and he still needs to know more. Zhou Shi called Pichai to connect with Joe Lonsdale, and if there was technical value, then let Time Lab invest in it. Then he talked to Peter Thiel about something else, about another company that Peter had invested in. This company was also founded by members of the first boy group "PayPal Gang" in Silicon Valley, itself is not a large company, and the future market value has not exceeded 10 billion US dollars, but Zhou Shi feels very useful and wants to buy him. This is one of his plans to start a business in the next step, if he can't make a successful acquisition, then he has to start an Internet company from scratch.
