After the afternoon, the three of them returned to the Wynn Hotel in Las Vekis in the Humvee.

Meng Yinyun made up for sleep in the car in the morning, and was very energetic, so she returned to the hotel room and took a simple shower, and then took Qi Sanshu's wife downstairs to shop.

Las Vegas is a paradise for luxury shopping.

In Las Vegas, there are basically all the well-known first-line brands, and some limited-edition designer bags are easier to buy than in Los Angeles stores.

Qi Sanshu's wife, a native of Chinese American, grew up in a wealthy family, she told Meng Yinyun that if you buy Hermes and Chanel classic bags in the South-Coast-Plaza in Los Angeles, if you are not familiar with the clerk, some of them cannot be bought at all, but in Las Vegas, as long as you have money, you can basically buy your favorite.

For the evening drinking party, the two women began to go shopping.

Nice sun outside.

Zhu Zhichun, who was alone, pulled Bian Xuedao and came to the hotel's swimming pool to bask in the sun.

It's time to show off your figure......

Zhu Zhichun has a wide range of hobbies, archery, swimming, rock climbing, and flying airplanes, and is proficient in everything, because he often exercises, so he is in good shape, but it may be related to Zhu Zhichun's preference for technical sports such as archery and rock climbing.

Bian Xuedao is different, he is shirtless and full of strength, not inferior to European and American men at all. This is related to the fact that he has always determined the direction of exercise as endurance and strength, plus he has the conditions to exercise, in addition to the guidance of Shangdong Club and professional fitness coaches, the 47th floor of Jinhe Tianyi in Songjiang was transformed into a private exercise room by him, and the villa in Yanjing also has a gym.

Both of them are very handsome, and both of them are very strong, so when Zhu Zhichun and Bian Xuedao were lying on the beach chair looking at all kinds of white-skinned, yellow-skinned, and dark-skinned bikini beauties, the women were also looking at them, especially a few Asian women who couldn't determine their nationality, and their eyes swept to them from time to time.

After beckoning the waiter to ask for two cold cocktails, Zhu Zhichun closed his eyes and said comfortably, "It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed in the sun." ”

took out his mobile phone and room card and put them on the small table next to the chair, and said, "There are several girls on the other side watching you." ”

Zhu Zhichun didn't open his eyes, and said lazily: "Impossible! ”

Bian Xuedao said: "I kind of regret taking this irreversible road. ”

"The irreversible road?" Zhu Zhichun opened his eyes, turned his head and asked, "You mean to become a celebrity?"

"Hmm. ”

Zhu Zhichun said with a smile: "There is nothing to regret about this, the times are different, the Internet and communication means are so developed, how can you be a stealth rich man? ”

Thinking that Zhu Zhichun had just been interviewed by the media at the "2008 China M&A Annual Conference" and published it, Bian Xuedao asked Zhu Zhichun: "I want to be invisible but I can't hide it, so forget it." You're so stealthy, why do you want to take off your invisibility cloak?"

Zhu Zhichun closed his eyes again and said slowly: "This time and that time." ”

Bian Xuedao asked tentatively, "Is there something at home?"

Zhu Zhichun said "hi": "As soon as my grandfather left, the relatives from far and near, and the gods from all walks of life jumped out to fight for the family property." ”

Bian Xuedao asked suspiciously: "Isn't there a will? Who should share how much, how much can be shared, isn't it already counted?"

Zhu Zhichun said: "It's not that simple! The family property left by my grandfather is calculated as a percentage, and no one can fight for the number before the decimal point, but everyone wants to fight for the number after the decimal point." To put it bluntly, there is still too much money, even if it is the second digit after the decimal point, if you can fight for a few points, it is not a small amount of money. ”

"My grandfather is gone, the Zhu family is bound to break up, everyone knows that after dividing the cake this time, there will be no points in the future, so no one will give in. Hey, it's messy to cut and tidy, saying that it's a family, and when they meet each other, they look at each other coldly, and they are worse than the enemy......"

After listening to Zhu Zhichun, Bian Xuedao understood.

I wish the family to be separated!

When Zhu Haishan was alive, no matter how many properties the Zhu family had, it was all Zhu Haishan's, and they all had the surname Zhu, and Zhu's industry was a whole.

Now that Zhu Haishan is gone, the originally integrated Zhu family industry has begun to have its own owner.

Zhu Zhichun no longer chose to appear in public without stealth, and announced in a high-profile manner at the "M&A Annual Meeting" that he would invest in the construction of "Pahim International Airport City", as well as his visit to the United States this time, which is an act of declaring that "this thing has the owner", so that the rest of the Zhu family does not have to worry about the shares of Triumph Sky Investment Company.

Speaking of which, Zhu Zhichun is also a last resort.

Before, he could be invisible, because his grandfather wished the sea and mountains to travel all over the world, and old friends were all over the world, and they could block all the wind and rain. Now that Zhu Haishan is gone, the various legacies he left behind, including political legacies and human legacies, will become thinner and thinner.

To put it bluntly, if Zhu Zhichun wants to continue to be invisible, he can do it, but it must be a very laborious thing.

Seeing that Bian Xuedao was thoughtful, and waited for more than a minute, Zhu Zhichun said: "Don't talk about me, let's talk about you, I see that you have been distracted lately, is there anything wrong?"

"I, what can I do?" said to Zhu Zhichun with a smile as he turned his head and said to Zhu Xuedao.

When he spoke, Bian Xuedao made a decision in his heart: Zhu Jia's family is like this, Zhu Zhichun has been scorched, and the situation is not necessarily much better than himself, otherwise he would not have felt it and said "I haven't been so relaxed in the sun for a long time". At the beginning, Zhu Haishan gave himself so much benefit, in addition to exchanging information, he also had the meaning of letting himself protect the Zhu family on the side. Now that the Zhu family is in this situation, as an outsider, he will definitely not be able to intervene, but the matter of Tong Yungui and Xu Daheng should be solved by himself!

Lying in the sun, when he was about to fall asleep, Zhu Zhichun pushed Bian Xuedao: "Don't sleep here, go back to the room when you are sleepy." ”

……

……

At 6:55 p.m., the reception began.

Bigelow Aerospace's reception was held on a 350-meter-high freestanding observation deck at the Las Vegas Stratosphere Tower Resort.

The reception was chartered for 12 hours, and a series of arrangements were made in advance on the observation deck, and the service was very meticulous and thoughtful.

Bigelow also put a lot of thought into choosing the venue for the reception. Stratosphere-Hotel-Las-Vegas' 350-meter-high freestanding observation deck is the tallest building in Las Vegas, the tallest building on the West Bank of the Mississippi River in the United States, taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the TV Tower in Seattle.

Of course, 350 meters is an imaginary height, but the actual height of the tower viewing platform is 290 meters, and the total height together with the signal pole is 350 meters.

At the cocktail party, Bian Xuedao met a well-known cattle man in his previous life - Elon Musk.

Elon Musk, 37, came to the reception for two purposes, the first of which was to try to negotiate an inflatable capsule transportation business with Bigelow and get some deposit from Bigelow. The second purpose was to see the shareholders of Bigelow Aerospace and see if they could raise money from these people. Because Musk feels that Bigelow's project and his company's project belong to the same field, and if he can invest money in Bigelow's project, he must be a wealthy person who is interested in space, and he can also fight for it.

All in all, Elon Musk is here for money.

At this time, Elon Musk is at a low point in his life, far less beautiful than six or seven years later.

Originally, SpaceX had begun to make a profit in 2007, but in the first half of 2008, Musk's rocket failed to launch three times, and tens of millions of dollars were invested into a large fireball after the explosion.

The three failures have severely damaged the confidence of several of Musk's major investors.

In addition to the rocket project, Tesla is also on the verge of bankruptcy because of the high cost of research and development. Both SpaceX and Tesla are facing severe funding shortfalls and are barely on payroll.

The leak coincided with a rainy day, and the financial crisis broke out in full swing, which made Elon Musk and several of his companies even worse, and now he borrows all the money for living expenses with friends, including rent.

If no more funds can be raised, what awaits Elon Musk can only be bankruptcy.

In the past month or so, Musk has knocked on every door he can, but he still hasn't been able to raise enough funds.

Based on this kind of heart, when he learned that Zhu Zhichun and Bian Xuedao were the second largest shareholders of Bigelow Aerospace, Musk's mind suddenly came to life.

I don't know why, but his gut tells him that tonight will definitely be rewarded.

The question is......

Musk didn't know anything about these two - Chinese men at the reception.

I don't know what the two do, what the name of the company is, what they are proud of in their lives, etc.

How do you set up relationships like this? How do you make friends like this? How do you find investment like this?

So, during the cocktail party, Musk found a place where no one was, called the assistant, and asked the assistant to immediately contact the Chinese employees in the company who understand Chinese to search for the identity information of Zhu Zhichun and Bian Xuedao on the Internet, and asked for it immediately.

Musk is a workaholic, working under him, and doing things efficiently, 10 minutes later, Musk's mobile phone received an email from an employee.

Open it up and take a look......

There are only a few sentences about Zhu Zhichun's information, and the employee's explanation is that no more information about Zhu Zhichun can be found on the Internet.

And there is too much information about Bian Xuedao.

Musk hid in the toilet and carefully read the email twice, felt that he remembered it almost, came out to tidy up his clothes in the mirror, and walked back to the drinking party with a smile on his face.

Musk doesn't know, he doesn't have to do this at all.

As long as he talks to Bian Xuedao and reveals that the company needs financing, Bian Xuedao will definitely climb the pole, and then the two hit it off.

Because Bian Xuedao knows that soon Elon Musk will come out of the trough. In a few months, Musk's SpaceX company will be awarded a $1.6 billion commercial supply services contract from NASA. By 2009, SpaceX will launch the world's first privately built liquid-fueled rocket into orbit, ushering in a new era of space.

Therefore, now is the best time to give Elon Musk a charcoal in the snow, and he can definitely reap the friendship of this cow.

At the cocktail party, Bian Xuedao glanced at his watch from time to time, he had already thought about it, if Musk didn't come to him after the cocktail party, he would find a way to find Musk.

Bian Xuedao's idea is very simple: invest a sum of money in SpaceX, get shares, and wait until the interstellar era, and he will be one of the pioneers. At the very least, if the future is like in science fiction movies, the earth is no longer suitable for human habitation, and if you want to inhabit space, you or your children and grandchildren should be able to become the first person to enter space with the shares in your hands.

I accidentally thought too far......

Holding a wine glass and chatting with Zhu Sik Chun, Bian Xuedao looked at Liulu, and when he turned his head, he saw Elon Musk and Elizabeth Jagger walking towards him from both directions at the same time.
