Jiang Hui's reply seems a little strange.

At a time when no one is interested in SpaceX, Elon Musk struggles with how to convince investors to accept his valuation.

But when you meet a Jiang Hui who is very optimistic about SpaceX, and even asks for a proportional increase in valuation according to the increase in shares transferred, it is even more entangled.

It's painful and happy!

In fact, Elon Musk's original idea was to sell 20% of his shares and obtain $100 million in financing.

However, judging from recent contacts with various investors, it is clear that this idea is unlikely.

"I chose to sell 30% of the shares and get $120 million in financing."

After thinking about it for another ten or so minutes, Elon Musk finally made a decision.

SpaceX is destined to carry out follow-up financing, and if it sells half of its shares for the first time, it will be really difficult to say what the company has to say in the future.

Although Musk can bind major shareholders through the voting rights of shares, etc., so that the company will not lose control.

However, in the end, it did not have the effect of directly holding a majority of the shares.

"Happy cooperation, I am waiting for you to grasp the moment of sending to the moon with a rocket".

Jiang Hui stood up and gave Elon Musk a hug.

"Jiang, invest in SpaceX, I won't let you regret it".

After negotiating the general direction, the details are for the people below to worry about.

In the next few days, Jiang Hui went to Twitter and went around with Potato.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that a big boss has come to these two companies.

As a Twitter company with more than 30 million users in the United States and other countries, it currently has more than 800 employees in the United States.

With the popularity of the Gphone, Twitter's smartphone loading rate has reached a terrifying 95%.

Basically, it's understandable that for every Gphone sold, Twitter adds a user.

In order to participate in Twitter's financing, someone on Wall Street has already given Twitter a valuation of more than $5 billion, and this data is changing every month!

Of course, it's always an upward change!

And Potato of the same size is now the darling of Silicon Valley, especially after accepting financing from Google, it is a proper unicorn company.

Due to the online payment habits of American netizens, Potato is now in the United States, and almost half of its users are paid VIP users.

Among the more than 60 million users in the world, the monthly membership fee alone is close to $200 million.

After all, an ordinary VIP account only costs $5 a month, which is really not expensive for Lao Mei.

Even Gold members, who earn up to $19.99 a month, have more than 3 million people.

The current POTATO can be profitable if it is not conducive to the large-scale purchase of various film and television copyrights.

However, Jiang Hui is not short of that amount of money now, in addition to forming a little profit on the books so that he can be better listed in the future, all other income is used to purchase film and television copyrights and data center construction.

In the Celestial Empire, the construction of data centers is generally promoted with Guanghui Data as the main body, and other companies in the group generally do not directly participate.

However, considering the particularity of overseas, the data center is generally built by Guanghui Data and its sister companies.

After all, the brother companies that are overseas have a better understanding of local needs and considerations than Korn Glory.

While Jiang Hui was inspecting Twitter and Potato, the news that Korn Wong had invested $120 million in SpaceX in the name of Twitter also spread in Silicon Valley.

……

A venture capital gathering.

"Clark, have you heard? Elon Musk has raised funds."

"Ahh

"Yes, it is said that it was obtained at a valuation of up to $400 million."

"Which company led the investment?".

"Twitter".

"Twitter?".

"yes, you didn't expect that, did you?"

"As far as I know, Twitter itself is thinking about financing, where will the funds come from to invest?".

"Don't forget, behind Twitter is the Korn Ferry Group, the largest Internet company in the Celestial Empire, but it's not that much money."

"I was still thinking about hanging Elon Musk and asking him to take the initiative to lower the price, but I didn't expect to be taken first."

……

SpaceX's internal MSN group.

"I heard that Elon has negotiated the financing, and the funds will arrive in a few days."

"I don't need to hear about it, this matter has almost been decided, 120 million US dollars, and the door will arrive this week."

"Now we don't have to worry about running out of funds, at least enough for us to launch four or five more rockets."

"Can't you crow's beak expect us to succeed next time, as if we're going to fail several more times."

"That is, we have failed twice, and if we fail again, it is estimated that there will be fewer people who are optimistic about our company."

……

Just when Twitter's funds were officially transferred to SpaceX, Elon Musk updated his information on Twitter: Warmly welcome Twitter's success as the second largest shareholder of SpaceX, and wish our space dream come true as soon as possible.

Twitter also released a message on its official Twitter: How big the heart is, how big the stage is, Twitter, dreams will not stop at the Internet, stop at the earth, we will accompany SpaceX into the sea of stars!

After these two pieces of information were released, they quickly aroused the gossip of the melon-eating masses.

"What's going on?Twitter, why did Elon Musk hook up?".

"Isn't it rumored that Twitter will raise Series A funding at a valuation of more than $5 billion recently?

"It's better to stay in the Internet world anymore and run to build rockets, the boss of Twitter is really the same as Elon Musk."

"Speaking upstairs, do you know who the boss of Twitter is?".

"Nonsense, Twitter's history has long been stripped away, isn't it the Jiang of the Celestial Empire."

"Isn't SpaceX making rockets? Rocket technology should be the same as missile technology, right? Isn't this exporting missile technology to the Celestial Empire in disguise?"

"You think too much upstairs, SpaceX, a private enterprise with few people, can you design a rocket? Don't you see that it has failed to launch twice in a row?"

"In other words, the missile technology of the Celestial Empire is not bad, and there should be no need to use such an obvious way to obtain technology."

"I want to say, Twitter is stupid and has a lot of money, right? SpaceX, a company that obviously has no future, is also investing?".

……

All kinds of comments and retweets have made SpaceX, an independent and special company, enter the field of vision of the American people on a large scale for the first time.

In the past, because SpaceX did not succeed in doing anything, and there was no big news coming out, ordinary Americans really did not know that such a company existed.

It was only at the end of 2008, when SpaceX successfully launched its own rocket, that it began to become famous and embarked on the road of development.

After being busy with the acquisition of SpaceX and holding a few days of meetings with the management of Twitter and Potato, Jiang Hui's second trip to the United States came to an end.
