Chapter 186: Heaven is coming

Bidding farewell to the two old men, Chen Bo continued his ride in the villa, and he saw a lot of acquaintances.

Ellison's foul temper wouldn't come to a place like this, and maybe he'd have a fight when he saw Gates. But Jobs and Laurena came together, one to represent Apple, and the other to represent Ant Public Welfare and the Emerson Foundation, which she founded with several strong women.

Where there are rich people, there is naturally public charity, but Chen Bo's purpose this time has nothing to do with charity, so he didn't play this deck.

Chen Jinyu has received her gift at home, a Welsh pony, she is having fun and she did not choose to come with the couple, she really forgot her father when she had a toy.

Others such as Amazon's Bezos, eBay's Whitman, Hewlett-Packard's Carly, IBM's Peng Mingsheng, etc., have all taken a picture.

Although it is not a close acquaintance, it is a business partner, and they are all mutually beneficial financial relationships, of course, they are not too angry, and they are not so familiar.

The media circle is not without acquaintances, media tycoon Murdoch will naturally be present, as long as he comes, the wife who is used to franchises will naturally appear around, after all, there is a high hat worth $2 billion on his head.

New York Mayor Bloomberg, the owner of Bloomberg, also appeared here. Don't look at Herbert Allen II's statement, but the energy of the circle of friends in politics and business cannot be underestimated. As for the presidents and directors of other large companies, there are countless of them, and this matter of courting business is naturally handled by Hoffman, and Chen Bo is more like an idle spectator.

"Vincent! Vincent! An abrupt voice came from the side, at least in the IT circle, this name is not called much, the most common is Steve, counting on his fingers can at least make a football team.

Of course, there are many people named Larry, such as the old hooligan Ellison, and the founder of Google, Peppa who appears in his sight.

The owner of this voice was definitely not him, but a white fat man sitting next to him, fat was only slightly fat, at least the face plate was not small.

"Elon Musk?" Chen Bo got off the bike, pushed it over and parked on the side of the road, nodded to Page and said, "Hello, Page." ”

"We're talking about ideas, listen to it!"

The owner who spoke was Elon Musk, one of the co-founders of PayPal, and Hoffman also worked with him, but the company was formed by the merger of the two companies, and later became known as the gangster of the IT circle.

It's not that this company is evil, but everyone who has come out of this has become a cow, and the Whampoa Military Academy in the IT circle is not an exaggeration.

But Musk's personality is somewhat similar to Ellison's, he is perverse, unruly, likes extreme sports and can toss at the same time, and even the speed of changing wives is not too much.

After PayPal was acquired by eBay, Musk, who holds 11.6% of the shares, received $165 million, but also lost in PayPal's management infighting and left. It's not clear who is right and who is wrong, but Hoffman doesn't think too highly of him.

This is the second time Chen Bo has met him, the first time was at Penn last year's school anniversary, but he didn't even say hello.

What Musk wants to introduce to him is what he has been planning for several years, Space X, what is it doing? In the initial stage, the rocket is recycled and reused, reducing the cost of satellite launch, and then it will be sent to the sky.

He's going to heaven! Yes, he really wants to go to heaven.

There is also a project that he has just invested in Tesla, clean energy, electric vehicles, the concept is quite novel and attractive.

Why pull the owner of Google and ant search?

This kid has no money, SpaceX directly threw out 100 million US dollars, and now he hasn't seen it. Tesla didn't pay much, paying less than $7 million. But since he is a gentleman and a genius, it is impossible to just earn and not spend, plus he needs to pay 35% personal income tax, how much is left? He had squandered the proceeds from the sale of PayPal.

After Google went public, Larry Page became a billionaire. And although Ant Search is not listed, it is not short of silver, although it is immeasurable, but he can donate more than 200 million US dollars in one breath, and his wealth can be less?

"Elon, your idea is very advanced, this will be a cross-generational scientific achievement. I'm sticking with you! Paige didn't speak in a high pitch, but he spoke quickly.

"SpaceX: This project is very good." Chen Bo met Musk's expectant gaze, but he could only refuse, "But I don't plan to invest." ”

"Why? Isn't that perfect enough? ”

"The issue of identity, you ignore the political factor." Chen Bo had no choice but to say, "I am Chinese, not Jewish. The United States now maintains a ban on the rocket transport market in China, and if I invest, this company will certainly not get orders from NASA. ”

Embarrassing not? Larry Page touched his nose, a little stupid.

Elon Musk shook his head helplessly, the political factors are the most uncontrollable, and no American-made satellite components can be launched using Huaxia's rockets, which indirectly casts a shadow on the domestic aerospace industry and loses a large amount of orders.

This is also a bad debt, dating back to 96, and it was not a problem to communicate at that time. After the big explosion of Changsanyi, Laura and Hughes helped solve a small problem about the gyroscope chip, and there was no problem when it was fired again.

Originally, it was a happy thing, but some people don't see it that way, you are indirectly helping the opponent to develop intercontinental missiles, and the theory of the Chinese threat has begun to stir up from the mouth of the US media under the impetus of some people. In the future, it's like a dog skin plaster, and there is an excuse for not even being able to pull out the, so you will throw the pot to Huaxia, and you don't have to discuss it!

"However, I'm still quite optimistic about Tesla, let's invest $5 million first." Chen Bo didn't completely deny it, at least I can still invest in electric cars, and I don't need too much, after all, it's a small company that has just started, how many shares are appropriate for you to throw too much?

Musk invested more than 6 million to get a chairman, if you vote more than this, do you want to go to the sky?

"Then I'll vote for SpaceX." Larry Page didn't say much, but it was certainly not too little, patted him on the shoulder and left, and the response to Chen Bo was only a nod.

This can't be regarded as indifference and hostility, the thinking habits and personalities of the two people are different, and the more engineers who come into contact with it, can have an intuitive understanding of this kind of person. Although they have heaven and earth in their hearts, they are often slightly inferior in language and social skills.

Although it was the first time I had met Paige, his tone of voice was noticeably different from that of normal Americans, he spoke quickly and softly, and he lacked breath, requiring a lot of attention to distinguish the pronunciation of the words.

But it's a little regrettable that he hasn't had time to greet Marissa, why did you run away? Could it be that Lao Tzu can eat people!

There are only two people left at the scene, although they are half alumni, but they don't have a deep friendship, so they can't pull him to talk about gossip, right? Putting aside the identity of the same technology entrepreneur, without speculating for more than half a sentence, the agreed investment matters are separated.

Since this place is called Sun Valley, the sunshine is naturally picturesque, and Chen Bo will occasionally watch the speech during the five-day summit, and the rest will be enjoyed. But everyone who came here to attend the meeting was busy, and they took this opportunity to hurry up and finalize the business that had not been negotiated at the negotiating table.

With Herbert Allen's company mediating it, the odds of a deal are greatly increased.

Since it is a vanity fair, there is naturally big news, the most notable of which is that Steve Jobs and Disney President Eisner choked again.

Eisner single-handedly built Disney from an animation kingdom into a comprehensive entertainment media group, which can be said to be indispensable. But no one is perfect, and Katzenberg, the former right-hand man, was squeezed out of the game by him to found DreamWorks, and the long-time Pixar studio is now facing the problem of renewing his contract.

Pixar is no longer a small workshop that needed to watch Disney's face and act in the past, it has developed into a monument to computer animation, with high-grossing, high-income, and high-profit works appearing frequently, and it is destined to be unwilling to just play the role of a little brother.

Although the two companies have cooperated for a long time, they are divided between five and a half, Disney not only owns the copyright of the story but also the right to the sequel, and even the distribution fee needs Pixar to pay for it. All the terms were in Disney's favor, and Pixar was Hollywood's most profitable company, and in the renewal negotiations, Jobs demanded that a simple production and distribution relationship be established.

But Eisner was also an extremely powerful figure, which led to a fierce conflict between the two sides, and Jobs's blacklist added a cursed nemesis, even Herbert Allen II himself did not quell the anger of both sides.

Chen Bo is a lively person, he is not familiar with Disney, but his ABC TV network is not less black him. Jobs's Pixar he also wants, but it's not necessary, because he already has DreamWorks, and it's not a good habit to eat in a bowl and look at the pot.

"Steve, Pixar has wasted too much of your energy, let's get back to Apple's daily routine." As a friend, this advice should still be given, and his wisdom should not be wasted on useless work, either let the professional manager take full responsibility, or sell it for more profit.

"You think so, too? The Disney board of directors has expressed interest in buying Pixar, but I have refused! Jobs whispered with a look of resentment, "Even if it rots in my hands, I will never give Eisner that villain, hypocrite!" ”

"Calm." Chen Bo patted him on the shoulder, no matter how old he was, he was still so irritable, "Since you hate Eisner so much, why don't you let him go?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"Eisner only needs to be at Disney for one day, and he doesn't want to get Pixar." Chen Bo smiled evilly, "Apple is your own son, Pixar is just a business for you, but it is a fate for Disney, the era of traditional animation has passed." ”

"What if Disney goes to buy DreamWorks?"

"That's impossible, don't forget that Katzenberg is also my friend, and he and Eisner have more grievances than you." Chen Bo still hasn't said a word, that is, the big head is all in his hands, and he won't sell it.
