Chapter 1185 Investing in Musk

Musk's expression made Zang Hong and Anna understand that he just wanted to make online payments.

The two of them were not surprised. Xia Chuan was really not very knowledgeable about the Internet, not to mention that they had been talking for so long.

But Musk was completely shocked. This was even more shocking than the accelerating expansion of the universe. This proves it.

Xia Chuan said with a smile: "Don't think that if I control 80% of Yahoo, you will definitely control it when I invest. You know Huawei, right?"

Musk's heart moved, "I know. You invested tens of billions in Huawei, only accounting for 20% of the equity. The other two Internet companies you invested in only accounted for 49%. But your investment in the United States , are all holdings.”

Anna and Zang Hong finally understood that Musk did not want to be controlled by Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "That's just a superficial phenomenon. I also have a lot of holdings in China, and I don't have to hold a controlling share in the United States. For example, why did Valentine take over Cisco, kick out the founder, and then easily give it to I?"

Musk suddenly understood, "I understand. This is determined by ability."

"That's right. Yang Zhiyuan is incomparable to you. I will quit Yahoo within five years."

Musk was shocked: "99 years? Do you really think the United States will decline?"

Xia Chuan Wan'er: "Can you give me an example of telling lies?"

"Well, it's not a matter of lies. You must be right?" Musk was very doubtful. This is so unbelievable. The status of the world's hegemon can actually decline in just five years?

Xia Chuan smiled and said: "Just think that I am wrong. In fact, it has no impact on you. Let's talk about business. I will give you 10 million US dollars for only 20% of the shares."

Anna and Zang Hong's hearts moved. This was exactly the same as Yang Zhiyuan's start.

Musk also noticed it and said with a smile: "Don't invest 100 million in one year and hold 80% of the shares."

"No. I will invest ten million. When you sell it to make rockets, I will sell it to whoever buys it and sell it to him as well." Xia Chuan said.

Musk was immediately relieved. In fact, what he was really worried about was Xia Chuan's control of the American Internet. But now it seems that he obviously does not have this intention. Even in such a key link as online payment, Xia Chuan has no intention of controlling it.

It’s not that you can’t see this step, it’s that you don’t do it.

"I agree. But I still want to ask, do you think online payment is not the commanding heights?" Musk asked.

Xia Chuan smiled: "It is true in China, but not in the United States. The banks in the United States are too developed and the market is much smaller than that in China. You can't cure anyone, but you can definitely make money."

Musk finally felt the huge gap, "Okay, let's do it first and then talk about it."

Anna immediately took out a contract.

……

The news of Xia Chuan's investment in Musk made the capital market excited. Xia Chuan is indeed optimistic about the American Internet, which is exactly the same as Yang Zhiyuan's routine.

But those applicants were at a loss. Xia Chuan had been busy for a day, but he didn't recruit any of them, but invested in one. What does this mean?

If you are here just for investment, just say so. Silicon Valley has no shortage of entrepreneurs.

Sure enough, entrepreneurs arrived like clouds the next day.

If there are dates or no dates, the investment plan is still not simple?

As a result, Xia Chuan walked into the conference room in the morning and said clearly:

"Entrepreneurs, please don't waste any more time. I am here for recruitment. The moment you walk in with your investment plan, you are already unqualified. Recruitment will begin next. If you are not applying, please stop asking."

Everyone was stunned.

They suddenly discovered that they had missed a key link. Xia Chuan didn't need any resume when looking at people, so why did he still read your plan?

Musk has absolutely no plan and has never communicated with Xia Chuan in the conference room.

So how can we get Xia Chuan's approval?

A venture capital manager asked for them, and Musk's answer was: "I don't need recognition. I just went to Xia Chuan for dinner, and Xia Chuan insisted on giving me money."

When the VC asked what they were talking about, Mask said pyramid.

Making countless venture capital managers messy.

When the recruitment ended in the morning, there was still no qualified person. The main reason was that the big names didn’t want to go to Yanjing, so all the people who came were ordinary scientific and technological talents.

But at noon, more than twenty people wanted to have dinner with Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan refused them all.

These people chattered away and retreated. Indeed, their wit and wisdom made people laugh at them.

In the afternoon, a big shot finally came.

This was a thin middle-aged man. After walking into the conference room and observing for a while, he walked directly to Xia Chuan.

"Hello Xia Chuan, my name is Yao Qizhi." He deliberately didn't say what he was doing, just to see Xia Chuan's reaction.

Xia Chuan smiled: "Professor of computer engineering at Princeton University?"

Yao Qizhi was stunned. It turned out that Xia Chuan relied on knowing talents well.

He never imagined that his fame would be skyrocketing. He was a top expert in at least three fields. He had just completed a theoretical breakthrough in quantum communication in 93, and his subsequent achievements were even more dazzling, winning four academician titles in China and the United States. Xia Chuan was like thunder in his previous life.

Professor Yao smiled and said, "That's right. Do you think I'm qualified?"

Xia Chuan stood up and shook hands with a smile on his face. When all the applicants took a look, it turned out that Xia Chuan wanted talents of this level.

"Professor Yao is willing to go home. I give him a warm welcome. The monthly salary is one dollar lower than the severe winter, a fully decorated house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, an Audi, and unlimited research and development funds. You can make any other requests."

Yao Qizhi was shocked by Xia Chuan's courage and developed unlimited support?

But he asked interestingly: "Why can't it be the same as the severe winter?"

"That's the banner. It's the confidence of students who study hard. As long as they are talented, they will not be buried. So no one's monthly salary can exceed him. If you need a monthly salary of 100,000, I will give him 110,000." Xia Chuan Say it frankly.

Professor Yao was awe-inspiring. Xia Chuan's respect for talents is definitely a person worth following. An entrepreneur has an extremely terrifying foresight in science and an unparalleled judgment. If you work with such a person, your future will be brilliant. ?

Although the R&D environment in Yanjing is very poor, Xia Chuan's company is definitely an exception. He knows Zhong Duanling and knows it very well. With Xia Chuan doing this, with reserves of dozens of buildings and unlimited support for R&D at every turn, the talents of Chuanyun Technology should How thick is it?

"Okay. I will resign and work with you." Professor Yao said firmly.

Xia Chuan immediately said: "I will ask Zang Hong to escort you back."

Professor Yao knew that this was not redundant. He wanted to resign and return to China. The United States did not know how to stop him. It was possible that there would be an accident halfway. What's more, the country was not in peace and prosperity. Only Chuanyun Technology was a paradise.

"Okay. Let's leave now." Professor Yao said simply.

He left his family and no one could keep him, it was meaningless.

Xia Chuan signaled to Zang Hong: "No accidents are allowed."

The implication must be sent back, and all those who obstruct it will be destroyed.

Zang Hong nodded seriously: "Don't worry."
