"Mr. Musk is still waiting for you in the conference room, the plan he proposed is no smaller than Poseidon Company, and it is all long-term investment projects, are you sure he can complete it?" Singh has a thorough understanding of Hong Tao's shamelessness, and if he doesn't do a few things that sound, look, and feel shameless one day, he is basically dead.

"Eco-friendly cars and low-cost recyclable launch vehicles are the trend of the future, and we don't have the ability to develop these things ourselves, it's too professional and too laborious, but someone has to do these things. Now that this person is here, he is willing to do it and has the ability to do it, and we help him, not to take a risk, but to explore it beneficially. As for whether you can succeed or not, God knows, didn't you pray every day that someone would suddenly appear to save you, and when there was no time, you would definitely not believe in any Buddha, but you still prayed every day, what is this? This is no longer a religious belief, this is hope, people must have hope to persevere, I hope to see the moment of his success. Hong Tao had just finished shamelessly, and after only a few seconds, he immediately became a life coach again, giving Singh a life lesson.

"I'm not sure if you were the one who prayed at the time!" Although Singh was used to Hong Tao, he still couldn't adapt to his neurotic mental jump, which was contagious and made everyone around him chatter.

Elon Musk also received an invitation from Hong Tao this time to participate in this industry seminar that he was not qualified to attend, this time not relying on David Ferro's recommendation, but Hong Tao's specially approved invitation to him. After months of deliberation, the genius finally did not suppress the impulse in his heart. I was still hungry by Hong Tao's big carrots. He already intends to end PayPal's attempt to go public and sell the company to eBay. Then relying on the funds on hand and Hong Tao's support, he started to do what he really wanted to do. It's to send humans to Mars to live.

But to achieve this goal, it is necessary to reduce the cost of launching launch vehicles, otherwise the cost of transporting the materials needed for human life on Mars will crush the richest country on the planet, let alone a private company. In addition to improving manufacturing technology and fuel technology, Poseidon's efforts can also be regarded as an attempt. However, these attempts are far from enough, and Musk has proposed a final solution that sounds very crazy, but also very reasonable, to recover the launch vehicle and use it many times!

Whether it's launching a manned spacecraft or a satellite. The vast majority of this cost is not fuel, but the rocket itself. The cost of building a launch vehicle alone is much higher than the cost of satellites and manned spacecraft, which is equivalent to using a Ferrari sports car to pull sand on a construction site, which is neither efficient nor economical. However, the current science and technology make it impossible for earthlings to explore space in a more economical and efficient way, and if the launch vehicle itself can be recycled, even if it is only a part of it, it can immediately reduce the launch cost by 50% or more.

If the cost of each launch is only a few million dollars, will the pace of mankind's exploration of space be much faster? Will it be possible to try out projects that were previously afraid to be tested casually because of the cost problem? Who may try out a new epoch-making method at any time? What is called scientific discovery, in fact, sometimes the method used in scientific discovery is very stupid, it is nothing more than an attempt again and again. The more in uncharted territory of humanity, the more common this approach becomes.

For two people who are both full of whimsical ideas, it is very reliable to discuss a particularly unreliable thing together. Musk and Hong Tao didn't talk a few words about the specific rocket launch company, and soon moved to how humans should live on Mars, whether they can build floating cars, whether they can build mecha like Gundam fighters, and so on. If you don't look at the location, don't look at the environment, don't look at the specific person. Just if you record this conversation and listen to it to ten people, ten people will think that this is two street homeless people getting together and talking nonsense. Or two homeless people who like to watch sci-fi and cartoons are talking nonsense.

But when it comes to Hong Tao, the nonsense is actually worth 9 years and 900 million US dollars. Or don't return the investment. To put it bluntly, the $900 million was thrown away for nothing, just for the sake of experimenting. As long as a breakthrough can be made to prove that this path is not in the wrong direction. And this contract is not as simple as 900 million US dollars, the company that joined Musk has really reached the level of technology that can manufacture recyclable launch vehicles, then Hong Tao promised him that he would take out at least 5 billion US dollars and invest it in this company called SpaceX to financially support Musk to put his dream into reality. Of course, this money is not given in vain, in SpaceX, Hong Tao will own 45% of the shares, and the other 55% will be given to Musk, whether he is willing to use these shares to attract new investment, or he will control it himself, Hong Tao does not care.

According to the plan Musk brought, he only intends to account for about 15% of the shares, and the remaining 85% of the shares can be bought with the 9-year $900 million investment provided by Hong Tao in advance. However, Hong Tao did not ask for these shares, he suggested that Musk should not hang himself from his own tree, the world not only has this kind of vision, but more people who are willing to support this cause can join in, so that SpaceX can be stronger and easier to survive.

"Knowledge should always be more important than money! You have knowledge, I have money, so you are more important than me." You call the shots, I'll be a supporting role!" Whether Hong Tao is pretending to be forced or telling the truth, Musk, a young man, was finally fooled by Hong Tao, just like meeting Bole's Maxima, he got on Hong Tao's private jet with four hooves, and couldn't wait to run back to Los Angeles to realize his dream.

"In Chinese, he is Maxima, you are Bole, if he can really succeed." Singh didn't understand Hong Tao's virtue of casually throwing out a lot of money and being beautiful, and from time to time he had to remind Hong Tao not to live in a dream.

"Bole? It seems that you have learned Chinese really well, but you only understand the surface meaning, and you do not fully understand the deeper meaning of this sentence. Why did Bole choose Maxima, have you considered this question? Could it be that he eats too much and doesn't digest it, and he has to spend time with a group of horses if he has a comfortable life?" Hong Tao looked at Singh with contempt, don't look at her, she can read classical Chinese, but the realm is still far behind.

"Why? What other allusions?" Singh was very studious, and she felt that the question asked by Hong Tao was indeed a problem.

"Because it's his job to choose Maxima, and it's also his means of making money, he won't do anything else, only this, and if he doesn't do this, he won't make money!" Hong Tao ended the conversation with a key word that Singh could understand and understand.

“…… The theories you say are always so profound...... "Singer was completely speechless, and a good allusion made him explain it like this, and it was immediately full of philistine flavor. And this is not the first time, everything that is beautiful will eventually become unrecognizable when it reaches Hong Tao's mouth.

"We'll talk about literature later, it's May now, let them clean the cabins on the ship, don't leave anything that shouldn't be left behind, I don't want my kids to find something under the mattress that shouldn't be found at their age. Then start informing their mothers, it's time for the annual dad's summer camp, are the statistics out, how many school-age children are coming this year?"

"There are 41 children over the age of two and a half, 16 boys and 25 girls, and if you add nannies, I'm afraid we can't arrange so many people here. "Singh is still very meticulous in her work, and every task given to her by Hong Tao can be completed on time, although it is not brilliant, but it is never delayed.

"Then don't have a nanny for every child, there's no need, I think it's okay to have one for five children. There is no need to let the children live alone, 3 or 4 people in a room, and in each room there is a child who participated in the summer camp last time as the team leader, so it should save them a lot of trouble to help their younger siblings. In addition, I went to call back the female crew members who were training in the escort team, and by the way, informed Melinda that she would have to go with me this time and come back at the end of August, so that she could arrange her work. You and Rada have one of you and Rada who needs to stay here to deal with things in my absence, and you two will discuss for yourselves whether you should stay or she will stay. Hong Tao turned the period from May to September into his family's summer camp for his father, and by this time, his children from all over the world had to come to him for training as soon as they were two years old.

Last year, only 12 children were trained, which shows that his production efficiency in 95 years is a bit low, but he forgives himself, after all, it is the first year of the global cloth program, and many things are still being explored. No, production quadrupled in '96 and '97, and the further you go at this pace, the more efficient it becomes, especially in the past two years, there are no less than 50 female crew members who have left pregnant on the Mouse Superman alone. Regardless of whether they give birth to boys or girls, in the new millennium, the number of their own children will definitely exceed 200, thinking about the scene of taking a battalion of children to the street when it is okay, as soon as you enter the shopping mall, there are several columns, and when you enter the cinema, it is basically a chartered scene, Hong Tao can't help but want to laugh.
