Hearing Xu Chuan's words, Musk was directly stunned.

Neuralink, graduation gift.

When these two words appeared in his brain, the whole person almost went down directly.

If he remembers correctly, Neuralink's current market value has exceeded 5 billion meters of gold, and now when converted into soft sister coins, it will exceed 27 billion!

Nearly 30 billion graduation gifts

It's so arrogant!

Fake, he really wants a brother like that!

As a person with a personal asset of nearly 200 billion meters, he will actually start to envy a doctoral student who has not yet graduated.

Although he was shocked by Xu Chuan's reason, Musk did not lose his mind.

For him, Neuralink is a company with great potential for growth.

Although it has not been established for a long time, it has not been around for eight years so far, and it has even been losing money on technology research and development.

However, the number of achievements of Neuralink is not small, such as brain-computer chip, neural network N1, chip implantable device Link V0.9, surgical robot V2 and so on.

Although most of these products and technologies still exist only in laboratories and research institutes, they are too basic to be basic.

But the promise of neural interaction technology is palpable.

Of course, more importantly, the famous Professor Xu wanted Neuralink.

This can't help but make Musk think carefully.

After all, in contemporary academia, the person in front of him can be said to be a 'god'-like existence.

He has created too many miracles, from mathematics to physics, from chemistry to materials, from controlled nuclear fusion to aerospace

He did everything that everyone else thought impossible.

And in Neuralink, maybe there is some technology or direction hidden that he hasn't even noticed?

Tangled, embarrassed. Passing through various complex eyes, Musk lowered his head and pondered.

On the face of it, it would be worth it to trade Neuralink for a production license for lithium-sulfur batteries.

After all, Neuralink wasn't indispensable to him.

It's not just that Neuralink is still in its 'infancy' and its value isn't huge.

Although the valuation of financing has reached the scale of five or six billion meters, the valuation is only a valuation when the brain-computer interface technology is not fully mature.

On the other hand, even if Neuralink is traded, it will not be difficult for him to rebuild a brain-computer interface company.

Despite the stereotypical impression of him as a 'super-rich', his other favorite identity is that of an 'engineer'.

Whether it's at SpaceX or at Neuralink, he's held key leadership positions.

So he was well aware of the technology in Neuralink, and it wasn't difficult for him to rehire people to form a brain-computer interface company.

The only thing that made him hesitate was that in the current Neuralink, those products that have been developed or are being developed, there may be key technologies that cannot be replaced.

After all, I am afraid that no one will deny the vision of Professor Xu in front of him, especially in the development of science and technology.

For Xu Chuan, he was not in a hurry.

After saying what he wanted, he took a shallow sip of the tea in the cup with his teacup.

Trading Neuralink is actually not simply a graduation theory for Xu Xiao.

Although he had previously invested 200 million yuan in Xu Xiao to set up a virtual reality company called 'Starlight', that company as a whole actually only supported her 'bioelectrode chip' researched in Mizuki University.

If you really want to enter this industry, an investment of 200 million yuan may not be enough for even a fraction.

The transaction of Neuralink not only supports Xu Xiao's research and career, but also has the idea of entering this field.

In addition, as Musk has carefully considered, Neuralink does have some 'powerful' technology in its hands.

But its power lies not in virtual reality or VR headsets.

As a reborn, although he can't remember everything in detail, some big changes in the future are quite clear.

Neuralink brain-computer interface company is barely a company with a 'crooked' technology tree. Well. If you really want to say it, it's actually not a little crooked.

After all, in virtual reality technology, the use of such technology to solve patients' diseases in some medical fields is one of its research directions.

It's just that the virtual reality technology that Musk originally wanted to develop at the beginning was not of this kind.

Musk wants to do more brainwave reading and writing support for the whole system, and even upload human consciousness to the computer to form a 'crazy' virtual world.

In this regard, Neuralink BCI has not done much.

But the technology is there, and in the medical field, it has developed products that have helped thousands of people around the world with Parkinson's, memory loss, cervical spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders.

It did not fully support the reading and writing of brain waves to achieve Musk's goal. However, it is ahead of other such medical research institutions in some niches.

Let's just say, fate plays man.

Sometimes you can't imagine what industry your opponent is from.

The technology in the hands of Neuralink is used to help countless patients in China, which is also the purpose of Xu Chuan's desire to trade Neuralink brain-computer interface company.

He knows very well that the medical products in the future 1Neuralink company are based on the "Link" brain-computer interface device developed by Neuralink.

And the key to this is a patent in the "Link" brain-computer interface device, and if you get this irreplaceable patent, then even if you don't have Neuralink, it doesn't matter.

However, he can't directly say the patent, after all, after naming this, Musk will inevitably keep an eye on it.

As for Neuralink, it doesn't matter, there are a lot of products and technologies in Neuralink, and it's hard for anyone to figure out his true intentions.

Drinking the tea in the cup, Xu Chuan waited for a while, and seeing that Musk had not made a decision for a long time, he said with a smile:

"If Mr. Musk will have difficulty making a decision for a while, he can go back and think about it before replying. After all, Neuralink's market capitalization is not low, if I'm not mistaken, you just completed the D round of financing some time ago, and the market value has exceeded 5 billion meters. ”

Hearing this, Musk's cautious thinking was alleviated a little.

If Xu Chuan allowed him to go back and think about it and investigate Neuralink's product technology, does that mean that he really doesn't value Neuralink that much?

Just need a brain-computer interface company as a graduation gift for his sister?

Although this graduation gift is unimaginably expensive, it is not unacceptable to him.

After all, Xu Xiao's specialty is virtual reality, and getting a company to do research and management for her, even if it is worth as much as five billion meters of gold, it doesn't seem to be a big deal for this Professor Xu.

Not to mention the rest, if the wealth in his hands is fully realized, he will definitely have a place in the top ten of the world's richest list.

Even Musk thinks that the wealth in Xu Chuan's hands may not be much less than him, but it is not well known to the world.

The solemnity on his face relaxed, Musk took a deep breath, shook his head and replied: "No need, I agree to use Neuralink as a transaction object to complete the cooperation on lithium-sulfur battery technology." ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although many details have not yet been discussed, for people like them, as long as the two of them reach a consensus, then the rest will be much easier.

On the other side of the sofa, Musk had a smile on his face and continued: "But when it comes to such a huge cooperation, especially between China and Mimi, it is quite difficult." ”

"Not to mention the rest, it is unknown whether the business manager will approve and agree to this cooperation."

Hearing Musk's words, Xu Chuan nodded without surprise.

Although Neuralink is not a well-known company, it is ultimately involved in high-tech companies in the United States.

If it is an acquisition by other Western countries, the business of the United States will probably not be so much.

But for them, the old adversary has always been seriously biased.

No matter which aspect it is, as long as a Chinese company wants to enter the United States, or wants to acquire a company in the United States, there is a high probability that it will be stuck.

Especially in terms of high-tech enterprises, Mi Guoyan can be said to be afraid that his own 'high-tech' technology or equipment will flow into China.

Xu Chuan also knows this, but for people at the level of him and Musk, although it is difficult to deal with this matter, it is not impossible.

He smiled, looked at Musk and said: "Since Mr. Musk has raised this question, he must have naturally thought of a solution, you might as well talk about it, if your idea is more suitable, you can do it." ”

Musk nodded and said with a smile: "I currently own about 80% of the shares of Neuralink, and the remaining 20% is in the hands of Founders Fund and some of my personal friends. ”

"And Professor Xu, what you want should be 100% controlled, right?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuan nodded.

For Neuralink, if he can, he naturally wants to be 100% controlled, even if he can't do this, he must control all the voice of Neuralink.

Musk laughed and continued: "Actually, I don't recommend that you take a 100% stake in the Neuralink brain-computer interface, because this is equivalent to a direct acquisition." ”

"And for Congress and business, it's a very difficult job to get through Congress. That group of old men would not want to see a high-tech enterprise in the United States fully flow out of the United States. ”

"So my suggestion is that I sell 80 percent of my shares to conclude this partnership with you, and I choose to reclaim 20 percent of the shares held by Founders Fund and others and hold it myself."

"That way, as long as I'm still in the company, there's no problem getting it done before the deal happens. It also gave Congress a complete excuse and justification. ”

After a pause, he looked at Xu Chuan and sincerely suggested, "In addition, I suggest that Professor Xu find an agent to complete this cooperation." ”

"After all, your identity is too special in the United States. If you had come forward in person, I'm afraid that this deal would not have passed the congressional review anyway. ”

"You should be very clear about your influence, and it can be said that any direction or technology you are optimistic about, no matter which country you are optimistic about, I am afraid that you will not give up easily."

"Even if your goal is to buy your sister a company as a graduation gift, no one will believe it."

The index finger tapped lightly on the porcelain cup in his hand, Xu Chuan thought for a moment, and said, "It's no problem to find someone to act as an agent." ”

"Still."

After a slight pause, he looked at Musk and continued: "Eighty percent of the shares is too little, I want at least ninety percent." ”

Musk frowned and couldn't help but say: "Ten percent is too low, and it is difficult to pass the review of Congress." ”

Xu Chuan said lightly: "This is a problem you need to solve, not mine." ”

"In addition, you reminded me that the remaining 10 percent of the shares can only be controlled by you and cannot be traded for at least 30 years."

"In other words, you control 10 percent of the shares, and you only have the right to dividends."

Hearing this harsh request, the corners of Musk's mouth moved, and he wanted to smash the table a little.

Shet!

This guy who looks harmless to humans and animals, with a faint smile on his face, is simply a demon!

Twenty percent of the shares were reduced to 10 percent, and it was strictly forbidden to sell transactions and participate in the company's control.

If it weren't for the fact that lithium-sulfur batteries were the technology that Tesla and he had to fight for, he would really want to smash the table and leave.

He dignified Musk, when did the Iron Man of Silicon Valley fall to this kind of grievance?

Taking a deep breath, Musk's eyes kept struggling, and finally nodded 'aggrieved'.

Compared to the sale of Neuralink in its entirety, this condition is nothing.

Ten percent is ten percent, if you can't sell it, you can't sell it, and as for the management rights, let's sell Neuralink as a whole.

The remaining ten percent is not bad, what if this Professor Xu creates another miracle?

He can still have a 10% profit, anyway, this is supposed to be used to trade lithium-sulfur battery technology.

After sighing in his heart and comforting himself a few words, Musk finally turned around his own level and nodded in agreement.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

He has no initiative, no bargaining power, if he needs to fight for lithium-sulfur battery technology.

Xu Chuan smiled, stood up and shook Musk's hand: "I will arrange for someone else to do the rest of the contract details on my behalf." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Musk also stood up and held out his hand.

No matter how aggrieved he was in the process, he still had a smile on his face at this moment.

After all, for him, this cooperation and transaction is not a loss.

In exchange for the production license of lithium-sulfur battery technology, Neuralink brain-computer interface company, as it stands, he earned.

As for the technology in Neuralink, if there is really a breakthrough that he didn't see, then there is no way.

Lithium-sulfur batteries are more important to him than those unknowns.

He only hopes that his decision today is the right one.

I also hope that one day in the future, I will not regret today's decision......
