Chapter 146: Give Musk a Little American Shock

Bai Ye took a rainbow fart for Ivan Vanke, but in fact, Bai Ye thought from the bottom of his heart that Ivan Vanke could not surpass Tony's in terms of upgrading the technology of the steel armor.

His talent in mechanics is still half a chip behind Tony.

Not to mention, Ivan Vanke's talent in software is even further than Tony's, at least Jarvis's strong artificial intelligence is by no means something he can develop by himself.

Jarvis is not only able to help Tony in the control of the Iron Armor, but also plays a very important role for Tony in the field of scientific research, reducing most of the tedious and repetitive work in scientific research experiments, so that Tony can focus more on developing his brain.

It can be said that the significance of strong artificial intelligence is not inferior to the Ark reactor.

Therefore, Ivan Vanke does not have the cooperation of top-level software like Jarvis, it is too difficult to surpass Tony, and the further he goes, Tony's scientific research progress will only get faster and faster, and it will develop geometrically, just like riding on a supersonic fighter, while Ivan Vanke is still running a marathon in a decent manner.

Of course, White Night doesn't need Ivan Vanko to make a better steel armor than Tony, but he must have steel armor technology!

For the sake of ......

Give me the price of the Iron Warframe!

Moreover, this is just a personal comparison between Ivan Vanke and Tony, as long as Ivan Vanke accepts it with an open mind, integrates the wisdom of others, and works together with the crowd, he will not necessarily be crushed by Tony.

For example, the technology of the steel armor cannot be integrated with the Green Goblin armor, and the medical cabin technology of the Green Goblin armor, neural link technology and other bio-oriented technologies are very good, maybe Ivan Vanke can integrate them and create a biological mechanical armor?

If Tony's steel armor had the medical capsule technology of the Green Goblin armor, he would not have been scared out of the psychological shadow when he carried the nuclear bomb to blow up the Zetarians, and he wouldn't even dare to sleep.

Besides, almost all of the battles in the steel armor are fought by Jarvis, which looks amazing, but when you actually wear it like a living coffin, you can't feel the coolness of the battle, what is the difference between playing the game with a remote control? The Green Goblin armor with neural link technology is different, the armor is a derivative of your limbs, and it is you who controls it autonomously, similar to virtual reality.

Well, to use the most popular metaphor, the mechanical steel armor is the kind that wears a condom, and the biological green goblin armor is not condomed, which one is more enjoyable to use?

"In order to celebrate the success of the research and development of the Ark reactor, tonight, I invite everyone to have an IM party."

After chatting with Ivan Vanke, Bai Ye clapped his palms and announced the matter to the employees.

"Oh Ho !!"

The employees at the scene immediately exploded.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Long live the boss!"

"I love you boss!"

Countless science and engineering men took off their shirts and threw them wildly, blushing with excitement and having thick necks.

Don't think that science and engineering men are honest people, in fact, it is not uncommon for Silicon Valley executives to have a party.

Most of the people who work in Silicon Valley are high-tech people, they all earn a lot of money, many are corporate executives, there is no shortage of millionaires with an annual salary of millions of dollars, there is so much money, they don't go to prostitution, and live an ascetic life, so don't they make this money for nothing?

The Tenderloin area near San Francisco's Chinatown is the famous Silicon Valley Red Light District, which sustains the city's thriving folklore industry.

For the high-income group in Silicon Valley, spending more money and enjoying better service is their goal, so the income level of seafood merchants here is also very high, some people start with a service fee of $500, and there are many people who serve at a time of $1,000. There are also high-end seafood merchants who have made $1 million in 10 years.

……

After taking care of the matter here of Venus Energy, Bai Ye came to Galaxy Capital.

He also made an appointment with David Solomon of Goldman Sachs.

"Little Mr. Osborne, see you again."

On the building of Galaxy Capital, David Solomon, smiling, came up to greet White Night.

"Mr. David, during this time, the cooperation with Goldman Sachs has been very pleasant, and maybe we can continue to cooperate."

Bai Ye stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, and shook David Solomon's hand gently.

During this period, Sun Bank acquired many small banks because of its cooperation with Goldman Sachs, and today, Sun Bank is a medium-sized bank with more than $4 billion in assets under its own and more than $30 billion in assets under custody.

If it weren't for the fact that White Night wanted to acquire the Martian military industry and withdraw more than $10 billion in cash from Galaxy Capital, now, Sun Bank would probably have acquired a medium-sized bank with its own assets of about $5 billion with the help of Goldman Sachs, and its scale has been further expanded.

Now, Galaxy Capital's cash flow is a little short, although there is still $20 billion paid by Zheng Xian to buy F22 technology in Bai Ye's overseas account, but that money can't be used indiscriminately, and it must be laundered.

For a big chaebol like Bai Ye, black money is not a big problem, and tax avoidance is not a problem, but when it comes to Zheng Xian and their assets, the problem is easy to get bigger, and once the specter of McCarthyism revives, maybe the Osborne family will have to be hung up and lit sky lanterns.

Oh, and maybe Osborne I, the founding emperor of the Edenian Empire, arriving in his loyal DC district?

Therefore, not to mention the action of Sun Bank to buy the rest of the banks, even the action of Bai Ye to buy Twitter, we have to pause for a while, and wait until the 20 billion dollars are washed and the rumors are over.

"It is an honor for us at Goldman Sachs to serve Mr. Osborne Jr."

David Solomon bowed and said.

Goldman Sachs helped Sun Bank acquire the rest of the banks, and they themselves did not make less money, not to mention that Bai Ye's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more companies are being acquired, this is a big fat piece in their Goldman Sachs mouth, as long as he can coax Bai Ye well and hand over those businesses to Goldman Sachs to do, he can even pout his ass towards Bai Ye.

"We've been working together for so long, and it's no longer a hypothesis." Bai Ye said with a smile: "I have a batch of new companies to acquire, and I have had a good time cooperating with Goldman Sachs before, and I hope Goldman Sachs will not let me down this time." ”

As he spoke, Bai Ye handed the note given by Ivan Vanke to David Solomon.

David Solomon took one look and said with a wry smile:

"Young Master Osborne, you have found us a batch of hard bones to gnaw."

"And the hard bones that you Goldman Sachs can't gnaw on?"

Jordan laughed.

"It's not that you can't bite it, it's that it's too hard to bite." David Solomon pointed to Boston Dynamics' name and said: "For example, this company is a company where conservatism prevails, they refuse any form of academic sharing, they don't disclose any experimental data, they don't accept international, especially Chinese employees, even if they are naturalized, it's useless, they exclude all non-native Americans, and the military has a lot of cooperation projects, but they also make their company like a secret department, can you imagine how difficult it is to forcibly buy this company?" ”

David Solomon said these things, of course White Night knew, Google was tortured by Boston Dynamics to the point of almost having a nervous breakdown. In 1992, Boston Dynamics was spun off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and became a private company, before being acquired by Google, it "survived" in military contracts for a long time, Boston Dynamics is clearly a military enterprise, and Google obviously spent $3 billion to acquire Boston Dynamics, in the end, wasted 4 years, had to be sold to SoftBank for $165 million.

High Emotional Intelligence: Boston Dynamics' corporate culture is too different from Google.

Low EQ: We can't command military enterprises.

Because this is not a commercial company at all, they don't hang your business logic, they want your supercomputing, your technology, and your capital to be confident, and you want technology from him? Don't give! Want data? Don't give! Want to plan? No! To obey the company's strategy? Think beautifully! Can I send you a technical team? No way! What about finances? This person must be a native of the United States, the personal resume must be detailed to the grandparents, and the paternal and maternal lines must be native Americans.

Where is this acquisition, it is to invite an ancestor back for himself.

"If it's a soft persimmon, why should I entrust this task to Goldman Sachs?" Bai Ye said bluntly: "You just say that Goldman Sachs can take this business, right?" If I can't, I'll find someone else to do it. ”

"Yes." David Solomon groaned a little and said, "But Goldman Sachs may have to share this business with other investment banks, because these companies almost touch some sensitive sectors, and we need other people to share the pressure." ”

There is no way, in general, the real advanced technology almost always blossoms and bears fruit in the military field first, and then slowly transitions to the civilian field, and the more than 20 companies that Ivan Vanke let Bai Ye acquire are almost like this.

Perhaps because of Bai Ye's background, no one has reviewed Bai Ye's qualifications for acquiring these companies, but there are many cumbersome things, and it is difficult for Goldman Sachs to help Bai Ye complete the acquisition of these companies, resulting in them having to share some of the fruits with their peers.

"Yes!" Bai Ye nodded: "I just want the result, as for the process, it doesn't matter, it's up to you Goldman Sachs to consider." In short, the cost of business consulting will not be less than your Goldman Sachs. ”

After finishing Bai Ye, he added: "Sun Bank's preparations to acquire other banks will not stop, just because the capital chain is a little tense now, and it will be postponed for a while." ”

David Solomon's eyes lit up when he heard this, buying companies like Boston Dynamics is troublesome and can't make a lot of money, but if you buy a bank, you can easily make a lot of money, and it's the fattest beef tenderloin.

Bai Ye is to use the carrot of acquiring the banking business to hang Goldman Sachs, so that they can work faster, Bai Ye himself doesn't care, but Ivan Vanke is not like a patient person.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Witnessed by the lawyer, White Night and Goldman Sachs signed a commission business.

After the Goldman Sachs people left, Bai Ye lit a cigarette and said to Jordan: "One more thing, let me tell you, next Stark Group will send people to form a business negotiation delegation with you to go to Silicon Valley to negotiate a business." ”

"What business?"

Jordan asked.

"A new energy vehicle company called 'Tesla', the acquisition plan, we take 40% of the shares, Stark Group takes 40% of the shares, leave 20% of the shares for the founder, and give it a valuation of ......" Bai Ye thought for a while: "Be generous, 600 million US dollars." ”

"No problem." Jordan nodded and said, "But young master, Galaxy Capital hasn't made any big moves for a long time, why don't we do something next?" ”

"Hmm......" Bai Ye pondered for a moment and said: "Recently, we have been a bit short of money, and we need a lot of money in all directions, so it seems that it is time to do it again." In this way, you should pay more attention to the Japanese side during this time, and if nothing else, we will short the Japanese index next. ”

"Young master, the direction your sword is pointing at is my battlefield!"

Jordan patted his chest excitedly and promised to the white night:

"I'll be sure to take care of it for you!"

As the scale of the various companies under Bai Ye's hands is getting bigger and bigger, now Jordan's courage is getting bigger and bigger, before he was worried that Bai Ye went to Japan, whether there would be any big incidents, but now, he is not afraid at all, isn't it just a small Japan, that's what he does!

Essentially, Japan is also the kind of dog raised in the United States, when the owner's home is famine, he slaughters the dog meat at any time.

Why, the United States eats dog meat, and we Osborne can't eat it?

……

Night.

White Night arrives at Betty's house.

As for the IM party of the engineers of Venus Energy, Bai Ye definitely has no interest in having fun with the people, he just gave his card to the executives for them to swipe.

Because White Night had already played a high-end game with Tony before, on Tony's "Stark" yacht, those women were worth at least $100,000, and the engineers' IM party was estimated to start at $1,000, and they didn't know how to build it if they gave them money.

A $1,000 seafood merchant may look the same as a $100,000 seafood merchant, or even be prettier, but the feeling is different.

One is the world's unknown practitioners, and the other is a well-known Hollywood actor, supermodel, and goddess of the public, can it be the same?

The $100,000 seafood merchant has long been beyond the physical stuff and has more spiritual enjoyment.

"What do you want to do?"

Betty opened the door and saw that it was a white night, and suddenly the good mood of the day was gone.

"It hurts my heart so much if you talk like that."

Bai Ye held the gift box in his hand and said:

"I'm here to give you a gift."

"Gifts?"

Betty looked at the white night suspiciously:

"What else can you give me?"

"Can't you just open it and see it?"

White Night put the large gift box in Betty's hand, and then he entered Betty's house as if he had returned to his home.

He didn't think of himself as an outsider, and took a bottle of 2000 Hermann Lace semi-dry white from Betty's small wine cabinet.

Bai Ye sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, drank the red wine in the goblet in his hand, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, looked at Betty with bright eyes, and slowly opened the gift box.

"Wedding dress? Why did you give me a wedding dress? Betty looked at Bai Ye with a question mark: "Do you mean to propose to me?" ”

"Of course not!"

"That's the best!" Betty couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad and said, "Anyway, don't dream, I can't choose to marry you!" ”

Bai Ye smiled slightly and continued: "This is the Pronovias I specially ordered for you, didn't you say that you and your ex-boyfriend Bruce Banner are true love?" I'm here to let you try it out in advance and put on a wedding dress for him. ”

Pronovias is the world's No. 1 brand in the field of wedding dresses, is a Barcelona brand, the world's No. 1 hand-sewn wedding dress, loved by many European royal families, and has the title of the king of lace.

A wedding dress costs between 600 and 12,000 euros.

White Night's order for Betty cost him 20,000 euros.

"Isn't there something wrong with your head?" Betty looked at Bai Ye strangely and said, "I remember that you men are not very possessive? Just don't ask me to cut off contact with Bruce, and be kind enough to help me buy a wedding dress with him? ”

"Because I'm a good person, can't I?" Bai Ye is a serious nonsense, referred to as a book: "I am not the kind of selfish paranoid, if I love someone, I don't have to possess her, on the contrary, if I love her, I will give her freedom...... How can I bear to blame you for making a mistake? I'm the one who gave you freedom and went overboard! ”

"I don't believe you're the kind of person!" Betty looked at Bai Ye vigilantly: "You can't have any bad ideas, right?" ”

"What bad intentions can I have?" Bai Ye laughed and said, "I specially spent a lot of money to order a wedding dress for you!" You put it on first, if it's not suitable, I'll ask someone to change it for you, anyway, I think you will wear it beautifully. ”

Betty was urged by the white night to change into this wedding dress.

The wedding dress glows white, as pure and immaculate as the first snow in winter.

Betty's snow-like skin shines through the crystal tassels on the wedding dress, and in the light, her eyes shine like stars, and her hair hangs like a black waterfall.

There is a smell of pure and flawless bridehood.

"How?"

Betty showed it in front of White Night unconfidently.

"Very beautiful!"

Bai Ye nodded in affirmation:

"If it weren't for the fact that the man you really love is Bruce Banner, I would have wanted to marry you."

"That's impossible, I already have a heart."

Betty snorted and said.

"Alas, what you say is ...... to the purple sauce" Bai Ye sighed: "Then my heart is cold!" ”

"Don't talk about it, come, have two drinks with me."

White Night poured Betty a glass of wine as well.

Betty hesitated for a moment, seeing Bai Ye's sad appearance, she still looked like a lady, sat down in the other corner of the sofa, and drank two glasses with Bai Ye.

In fact, if Bai Ye didn't do so many bastard things, in Betty's eyes, he would still be a very attractive man.

He looks very handsome, at least much more handsome than Bruce Banner, and in terms of talent...... During this period of in-depth contact with Bai Ye, Betty also discovered that Bai Ye does not seem to be a useless fool in the eyes of many people, at least Bai Ye's business talent is there, and he is about to create a business matrix, Galaxy Capital, Sun Bank, Mars Military Industry, Venus Energy...... In addition to his bad personality, he seems to be a very good man.

The two just drank wine and chatted a few words.

Just drinking like this, Betty didn't know when she drank herself to the ground.

She heard White Night's excited laughter: See the photo of you and Bruce Banner here? Aren't you two true love? Let him save you. Let him take you out of my clutches?

Cosplay?

Betty, who was wearing a wedding dress, felt as if she had also entered the play under the "earnest teaching" of the white night, and cried loudly: "Woo woo...... Bruce, are you going to save me? White Night, this bastard is always trying to bully me! You can help me beat him! ”

Well, I played with Aunt Mei last time, and it made Bai Ye feel a little addicted, so I'm going to play with Betty again, I have to say, it's really fun!

It's so exciting!

White Night and Betty were having fun when his phone rang again.

"Damn, I forgot to turn off my phone again, who? Always bothering me at times like this? ”

Bai Ye complained.

But there was an experience before when Ivan Vanke made the second-generation Ark reactor and reported to him, he was busy pedaling other people's bicycles, and his mobile phone was really bad to turn off directly.

"Hey, what's the matter?"

Jordan said: "Young master, this afternoon, our business delegation contacted Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, and now Tesla is also very short of money, Elon Musk welcomes our financial investment in Tesla, but he does not accept the transfer of control of Tesla. ”

In the original universe of White Nights, 08 is also the year of Musk's water reversal, encountering problems such as the failure of SpaceX's first three rocket launches, Tesla's insufficient financing, and marriage hitting the rocks, and if you are not careful, you may go bankrupt.

And the Marvel world is now 08 years, Tesla also encountered similar problems, due to the wrong estimation of the cost of Tesla's new car, in urgent need of funds, Musk put his last 40 million US dollars into Tesla, it is far from enough, if it is not for Daimler to reach out and help Musk, it is really hard to say, Tesla can still exist.

Now is the time when Tesla has not yet found Daimler, the white knight.

Bai Ye said impatiently: "In other words, this person has rejected our kindness? ”

"Uh......" Jordan said, "in a sense, yes. ”

"So what else is there to say? him for me! Bai Ye sneered and said, "When you left, didn't I let Tianyang follow you?" At this point, it's time for him to play his role. Find a horse, cut off the horse's head, and send it to Musk's bed, I'm going to let him feel it a little, the shock from the United States. Otherwise, he might really think that America is a paradise of freedom and democracy, a beacon of humanity. ”

You, a North African, want to make money in the United States, and dare not pay protection money to the big financiers? Then we're going to have to give you a little American shock.
