Chapter 398: The Gift

A conversation at Starbucks was like an appetizer for a big meal, and the chef Luqiu cooked the ultimate deliciousness, arousing the strong desire of Dalu, a diner, and making her look forward to the subsequent meal.

But the rhythm is in Lu Qiu's control, and he knows very well that the little knowledge of physics he has from the report cannot support him to make a meal that is enough to conquer Dalu, so he must find another way, and this way is to borrow strength.

The Pangu branch in Los Angeles, where Lu Qiu rarely appeared, made a number of company executives, including Harrison Cafor, feel incredible.

The big boss is the kind of absolute shopkeeper, no matter what type of thing, now he actually appears in the company, or alone, well, the latter is especially important, because the people of Pangu know that there will always be beauties around their bosses, three, five or seven are normal values, alone, non-existent!

But this time Lu Qiu surprised everyone, he really appeared in the company office alone, and then the person who met him was not a beauty, but a straight man who couldn't be straighter, Elon Musk.

At this time, Elon Musk was at the lowest point in his life, and the space exploration technology company he created suffered heavy losses because of many rocket launch failures, and Musk invested almost all of his net worth in this company, so the media reported that he was on the verge of bankruptcy!

This is not alarmist, Musk has also experienced the same process in another time and space, but because he still holds Tesla's shares, and when Tesla goes public in 10 years, Musk's book has a floating profit of hundreds of millions of dollars, and all the financial problems will be solved, but in this life, Tesla has long been pocketed by Luqiu, so Musk has no chance to turn over, and all his bets can only be placed on Space Exploration Company.

Recently, Musk has been tossed by the company's financial problems and is worse than death, the continuous rocket launch failure has caused the company to suffer heavy losses, and the capital chain is also at a life-and-death juncture that may be broken at any time, Musk has to agitate the three-inch tongue, lobbying investors everywhere, hoping to persuade them to invest money, but I don't know if it is because the butterfly wings instigated by Lu Qiu are too powerful, Musk can no longer be like a fish in water in the capital market like another time and space, but has repeatedly hit a wall, almost at the end of the road, until he received a call from Lu Qiu today, informing him to Pangu for an interview, Musk was ecstatic, he knew, he knew, it must not be a small project for Lu Qiu to talk to him in person, Lu Qiu must be interested in his space exploration company!

The facts are slightly different from Musk's inference, after he came to Pangu Company and met with Lu Qiu, he came up and said bluntly: "Lu, are you planning to invest in my space exploration company?" His eyes were eager, extremely eager to know the answer.

Lu Qiu smiled and nodded, giving a clear answer.

"Great!" Musk suddenly waved his fists and jumped up excitedly, although he was almost forty years old, Musk still maintained the momentum and vitality of a young man, which was very rare in Lu Qiu's opinion.

"I know that Lu you are not like those short-sighted guys, space is the future of mankind, immigration to Mars is the hope of mankind, everything I do is working hard around this, and now with the support of Pangu, I will do my best!"

"I'm sure you'll do well, but Elon, I have a little personal matter I want to ask you about until then. Lu Qiu didn't talk much nonsense, and when Musk was excited, he got to the point.

"Please, no problem, as long as you invest in us, let me do anything!" Musk agreed very happily.

"Really?" Lu Qiu smiled slightly, he felt that his purpose was said that Musk might go berserk, but it didn't matter, the situation was stronger than people, and now Musk had no choice, so he leisurely said his purpose, and finally looked at Musk and said: "Do this well, the financial problems of the space exploration company will be wrapped up in me, how about Musk?

Musk looked at Lu Qiu blankly, and it took a while to wake up from that state, and immediately shouted: "Heaven Lu, how can you be like this, we obviously have great ideals and goals, but you... You, I really don't know what you think!"

Lu Qiu said: "It doesn't matter what I think, the important thing is whether Elon accepts it or not? Help me fulfill this little wish, and the Space Exploration Company will no longer have to worry about the problem of funding, isn't it a win-win situation? As for what purpose to do this, is it important?"

That's the heart of the matter, Musk shook his head, "It's really not that important, because at least the result is good." ”

Lu Qiu admired Musk for being able to figure it out so quickly, and said with a smile: "Yes, there should be lofty ideals, which is not wrong, but not every great progress must be linked to lofty ideals, eating, drinking, falling in love and sleeping is the same driving force for human progress, what do you say?"

Musk was speechless, he just felt that there were thousands of horses galloping in his heart, and the horse was still a grass and mud horse.

"Okay Lu, I guess I have no choice, I just think you are really....really a man like no other!" Musk bit the accent on the word man, and the implication could not be more obvious.

Lu Qiu laughed, "Of course, I've always been different, don't you know now?" Okay Elon, come on and do this well, I get what I want, you get what you want, isn't it perfect!"

Musk can only smile bitterly, he really wants to say that perfection is not like this, only for the lofty ideal crazy forward, the achievements are perfect!

This is the end of the meeting with Musk, no one knows what kind of agreement Lu Qiu and Musk reached, they only know that after that, Pangu became the largest financier of Space Exploration Company, and did not hesitate to invest heavily to support the research and development of Space Exploration Company.

Lu Qiu also returned to the normal track of life, after the heat of the dream faded, began the preparation of Wonder Woman, originally this was just a transaction between him and Warner, but because of the requirements of the women, he had to pay attention to it, after all, those Nizi are not easy to deal with, if they can't let them shine in Wonder Woman and bloom with bright beauty, it is estimated that Lu Qiu will have to eat vegetarian fasting for a long time in the future and be a vegetarian!

The preparation in the early stage is still very simple, Warner attaches great importance to this project, unlike another time and space, the DC universe only entered the big screen after the Marvel Universe fully blossomed, and lost the lead, both the box office and word of mouth were comprehensively suppressed, this world Luqiu adopted a win-win strategy, and pulled Warner in as an ally from the very beginning, after all, there is direct competition between the six majors, if you don't play the set of vertical and horizontal, it is still very troublesome to be isolated, so Wonder Woman's project is basically the same period as the Avengers, and there is also Lu Qiu's promise to direct it personally, with the aftermath of extreme blackjack and Inception's high reputation and high box office, Warner naturally has very high expectations for Wonder Woman, not to mention that the heroine of Wonder Woman is still Luqiu's woman Gal Gadot, and they believe that Luqiu will never let his woman down!

With such expectations, Warner's investment in Wonder Woman is naturally dedicated, and the financial, material and human resources are responsive, so Lu Qiu actually didn't have much to do in the preliminary preparations, which also gave him a lot of leisure time, so he used these free time to go to Caltech to date Dalu.

Yes, dating, the relationship between Luqiu and Dalu has completely swept away the previous haze, Dalu was impressed by his superhuman insight in physics, and her favorability soared, and the relationship became more and more intimate, Nizi became obsessed with the feeling of sitting and talking with Luqiu, and her obsession with physics gradually transferred to Luqiu, Luqiu knew that it was only a matter of time before they broke through the last barrier, and the opportunity for a breakthrough came as scheduled.

It was Dalula Riley's birthday, and Luqiu didn't disappoint Niko and showed up at Caltech to celebrate her birthday.

"Lu, why didn't you prepare a birthday gift for others, people are very disappointed!" Walking on campus, Dalu affectionately took Lu Qiu's arm and complained to him.

Indeed, Lu Qiu didn't give Dalu any surprises this time, just like their previous date, just talking about some academic issues, there was no match, although Dalu was a learner, but at this time she couldn't help but express her little dissatisfaction.

Lu Qiu smiled: "Dalu baby still needs a birthday present, then I give myself to you, twenty-five-year-old virgin, it's a shame to spread it!" He deliberately teased Dalu.

You must know that Dalu is really a strange flower, and her thing was accidentally destroyed by the three daughters of Giselle last time, which means that this Nizi has always been as guarded as jade, which is incredible in an open country.

Dalu suddenly blushed when she thought of that incident, and slapped Lu Qiu hard, "You are necrotic, I won't let you succeed like this, don't think about it!"

Lu Qiu ignored the 'tickling' and continued to stimulate Nizi, "What if I call Candace and the others together?

"I don't listen, you're dead, I'll ignore you!" Dalu was poked in the weak spot, and ran away quickly covering her ears, intending to ignore Luqiu.

Lu Qiu joked enough, knowing that he should get to the point, he chased after him in two steps, grabbed Dalu, and said seriously: "Dalu baby, I have prepared a gift for you that you can't refuse, are you willing to go with me to receive it?"

Dalu was still blushing at what had happened before, her breathing was uneven, and her chest was heaving, but when she heard Lu Qiu's words, she suddenly had anticipation, "Really? I won't be disappointed, right?"

Lu Qiu was categorical, "Absolutely not!" He took Dalu's hand and pulled her out of the campus in stride.

Dalu was full of anticipation, she didn't know what kind of surprise Lu Qiu would give her, but she knew that this man would never disappoint, definitely not!

After boarding a private jet and making a flight to land, Dalu follows Luqiu to a place she never imagined she would come to: the Kennedy Space Center!

"Lu, why is it here? Is your gift for me here?" Dalu was stunned.

The Kennedy Space Center is an important place for NASA to conduct the testing, preparation, and implementation of manned and unmanned spacecraft, and if it is in China, it is absolutely a secret department that is not open to the public, but in the United States, as long as there is money, there is nothing that cannot be opened.

Luqiu didn't explain to Dalu, he just led her into the Kennedy Space Center, where the gifts he had prepared for Dalu were ready, just waiting for him to fire the starting gun at the end!

Elon Musk has been waiting here for a long time, and for him, even at this time, he still feels that Lu Qiu is really too crazy, and he can't accept it at the cost of tens of millions of dollars, just to make a woman happy.

But if you can't accept it, you have to accept it, Musk has done his best to prepare everything and strive to succeed this time, although he knows that such a hasty act is impossible, and then he saw Lu Qiu appear with Dalu.

The moment he saw Dalu, Musk was a little distracted.

This woman is so beautiful!

There is beauty and charm that are immersed in the bones!

And the intellectuality that he admires the most!

Is this the beautiful woman who Lu wants to smile?

Although he was attracted to Dalu Musk at the first sight of another time and space, he still felt that what Lu Qiu did was not worth it, it was too crazy.

Such a woman, smashing two sports cars and buying a few pieces of jewelry, is it done, as for such a fuss?

Musk is not Chinese, I don't know the allusions of the princes of Zhou Youwang, and I don't know that there are words like the country and the city, of course, Lu Qiu is not the king of Zhou You, and he will not really pay everything for women, but here in Dalu, paying the price today and winning the hearts of the beautiful people is still worth it for him!

"Elon, take me and Dalu to see the gifts prepared for her, she'll be happy, right?" Lu Qiu said to Musk with a smile.

Musk could only nod his head, but still muttered, "Then it depends on whether Miss Dalu likes jewelry or something else?" If it's the former, I think this gift will be self-defeating!"

Musk is still making a last-ditch effort to try to get Luqiu to change his mind.

Lu Qiu just shrugged, "Dalu is no ordinary woman, Elon will understand. ”

Musk was speechless, so he had to take Lu Qiu and Da Lu Lu to show his hair.

Sitting on an open-top jeep, the speed of the car was like electricity, and the back of the tires rolled up the sky with smoke and dust, and then from afar, Dalu saw the towering rocket that seemed to be able to reach the sky!

The real rocket, not the image seen on TV, for Dalu, her breathing stopped at that moment, and what made her almost blood boil and gush was that the man next to her was reaching out to the rocket at the same time, and said proudly: "Dalu, this is Dalu's rocket, Dalu baby, this is the birthday gift I want to give you today!"

Musk sighed.

Dalu finally shouted uncontrollably, "Oh my god, Lu, I love you to death, I love you to death!"
