The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 308
In terms of funds, Musk is not short of money. With his past experience, it is not difficult to attract investment from Silicon Valley.
When recruiting people to invest in Tesla, he is not looking at the capital, but the platform. Whether Tesla can grow and develop rapidly from the two aspects of business and technology.
Musk sincerely sent an invitation: “Hawk, Mary, it’s time to invest in Tesla, the sunrise company, the sunrise industry!”
Mary gave Hawke a look and said, “We have not seen Tesla’s detailed introduction, product planning, market prospects, development plans, etc..”
Hawke was not in a hurry and didn’t say anything.
According to his inference, Musk wanted to make a big fuss on Twitter, but he is not famous enough now.
Musk needs Twitter.
Hawke whispered Peter Thiel: “You intend to participate in the investment.”
Peter Thiel nodded: “It’s confirmed.”
Musk made a phone call, and in a few minutes, a beautiful blonde assistant drove a four-wheeled electric car and sent detailed information.
These materials were handed over to Hawke and Mary respectively.
Hawke put it away and handed it over to Edward, who was sitting on the other side.
The four then continued to play the unfinished innings.
By the time he left, Mary and Hawke walked all the way.
The two of them saved their golf clubs and walked out of the club.
Mary asked as she walked: “In the past, most of the areas that Pacific Investment Company focused on were concentrated on traditional industries. Since the new century, her attention has only slightly turned to emerging industries. What is the prospect of this electric vehicle project?”
Hawke said: “When we held the board meeting in January, I focused on the interconnection and interaction between AI, the Internet, smart terminals, hacker protection and other industries. Smart terminal devices can be fully integrated into electric vehicles, and autonomous driving is also a future. direction.”
He changed his voice: “But if this industry wants to make a profit, it will take five or six years or even longer.”
Mary understood, so she didn’t say more.
The two of them drove to the club department one after another.
When I was about to get on the bus, the car from the other direction directly blocked the road downwards of the lane in front of the door.
It was a black modern Yakos.
The rear doors on both sides of the car opened, and two people were black and white.
The black man walking in front, Hawke recognized the famous golf superstar Tiger Woods.
The man behind him has a blank face.
When the two saw Hawke and Mary, Tiger Woods entered the club directly. The white man seemed to know Mary, and his eyes were slightly stopped on her, but he had no intention of saying hello and went straight into the door.
Hawke asked with his eyes.
Mary briefly said: “Johnny Edwards, a federal senator, announced last year that the donkey party nomination will compete for this year’s election. I heard that he came to California a few days ago, and it should be for the support here.”
Hawke asked, “It seems that he is very familiar with Tiger Woods.”
“Maybe I want to learn golf.” Mary got into her car and left the country club first.
Hawke got in the car, too, and asked Edward to drive.
The car drove off the road in front of the country club department and turned onto Santa Monica Avenue.
Hawke asked, “Are the people from Butterfly Company still following Tiger Woods?”
Edward thought for a while and said, “It should be that there have been people following him and want to capture the big news about Tiger Woods.”
Hawke asked again, “Has Tiger Woods held his wedding?”
“Not yet.” Because this was one of the three major goals in the sports circle that Hawke had set at the beginning, Edward has been paying attention: “Tiger Woods got married last year with Swedish model Erin Nordglin and held a huge event. The engagement ceremony, the wedding of the two of them is scheduled for this year, and it may be September.”
“Look back and call Campos and let those who are staring at Tiger Woods be careful, especially when Tiger Woods is with Johnny Edwards.”
Once Johnny Edwards becomes a candidate, he will inevitably be protected by the Secret Service, and his specifications are not much different from those of the president.
However, the other party is still in the stage of striving for a party nomination.
Back at the company, Hawke handled the work and carefully looked at the information and plans provided by Musk.
Tesla’s entire company now has less than 30 people, and chooses the Elise of the British Lotus Automobile as its development basis.
In Musk’s development plan, he believed that instead of its uncharacteristic modification, it would be better to knock it down and make a brand new design, which would become a hit.
Hawke doesn’t know how to build cars, but he also feels that the possibility of failure is even greater when he is rushing to launch a car without any characteristics.
At least color TVs, refrigerators and large sofas must be arranged.
Tesla’s investment must be done, and its investment invitation amount is only US$5 million.
Musk invested in Tesla in February and obtained a controlling stake, spending $6.3 million.
Hawke knew very well that Musk wanted Twitter traffic in addition to investing.
In his previous life, this person was so successful that he almost made himself a great deal of marketing, and developed a large number of brainless fans all over the world.
As for the shares and equity invested, Hawke needs to discuss it later. The next day, Mary Ferguson called and Pacific Investment Company basically confirmed its investment, after all, the amount was only a few million US dollars.
Hawke also talked about his decision.
When Musk called to inquire in the afternoon, Hawke agreed to the investment and the two sides quickly started negotiations.
Musk also registered his Twitter account and began promoting his electric car and rocket plans.
During a negotiation, Musk even claimed that he would go to Mars with Hawk in the future.
Hawke felt that the moon’s chances were even greater.
Having said that, the data in the American technology and military fields frequently occurred in previous lives, which was exactly the same as the godson.
It makes people subconsciously doubt the authenticity of the moon landing.
…
Kovinna, Central Street.
In the temporary campaign office, Brian walked back and forth and asked the campaign manager Becken: “Is the news sure?”
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
“It’s OK, it’s not wrong.” Becken looked serious: “We are in the city hall and have seen both parties sign a contract with their own eyes, so we took the photo.”
Brian couldn’t help laughing: “Very good, very good. Stewart Resnick was willing to drain the water resources in the Los Angeles area in order to ensure water use on his farm.”
“Wandefford has expanded its planting this year, especially pistachios and large almonds,” said Becken.
Brian nodded, glanced at his watch and asked, “Hauck hasn’t arrived yet?”
Becken calculated the time and said, “I called Edward twenty minutes ago, and Hawk should be coming soon.”
The two waited for less than ten minutes, and a Mercedes-Benz sedan was parked in front of the temporary election office.
Hawke got out of the car, entered the door and came to the reception room.
Bacon stepped forward to say hello, Hawke shook his hand, and found a smile on his face, and asked, “It seems that there is good news.”
Brian took out the printed photo and handed it to Hawke: “Let’s take a look.”
The photo was full of small words, and Hawk took it and put it aside: “You’d better tell me.”
Brian said: “As soon as the Gua Fish Protection Act was released, the Wanderford and the Resnick family felt the pressure. Their plantations are mainly distributed in Southern California. Once they encounter drought, it will be difficult to transfer water from the north. come over.”
“The biggest function of this bill is to prevent north-south water transfer,” Hawke said.
“The forecasts of meteorological experts, coupled with the introduction of the bill, have recently brought Stewart Resnick to the scene, starting a new round of consultations with the Los Angeles City Hall.”
Having said that, his voice unconsciously raised: “Just a few days ago, Stuttgart, representing Wanderford, reached an agreement with Antonio, representing the municipality of Los Angeles, about the Los Angeles Canal, Las Veergenes Reservoir and St. Iine. Si Reservoir signed a further agreement, and Wandefu’s share of priority use rights increased to 78%. “
Hawke exclaimed: “Los Angeles municipality is still very reliable, leaving at least 22%.
“Because this 22% requires the priority use of water in the super rich area.” Brian said the truth: “Save as much as possible in other aspects.”
Hawke asked, “Has the city council passed?”
“Of course, the formal review was officially approved yesterday, and the agreement officially took effect on April 1,” Brian said.
The three preparations promoted by Hawke in the early stage have already undergone a chain reaction, with the meteorological forecast drought and the “Guardiola Protection Program” which will aggravate the concentration of water resources in the Los Angeles area.
Brian is also preparing for the reports on firefighters.
Not to mention anything else, just after the 9/11 incident is over, the treatment suffered by firefighters will profoundly change the firefighting industry.
Hawke came to the Los Angeles map hanging on the wall, looked for a while and said, “I hope the American experts have no problem with their predictions.”
If this is the dry season, it will rain in Los Angeles every few days, and no matter how good the plan is, it will be ruined.
“This won’t change when it’s clear in Los Angeles for more than 300 days a year,” Brian said.
Now he has completed the transition from a rich man in Los Angeles to a politician, and has made the worst plans in his mind. If there are differences in the planning, then choose the most suitable time period and let someone set the fire .
There are tens of thousands of homeless people in Poor Street and Hollywood, and $10,000 can hire hundreds of people to light fires everywhere.
Some of these homeless men were eager to go to prison.
…
Pasanadi, outdoor shooting range.
Campos was training with his company people, and gunfire kept ringing on the field, and a personal target fell down after being hit by a bullet.
These people have never interrupted tracking and shooting training, thinking that one day they will return to Mexico to avenge their friends and relatives killed by former colleagues or dealers.
At the safety entrance of the shooting range, Juan hurried over and waved to Campos.
Campos saw it at Garcia’s reminder, packed up his guns, and walked over quickly.
The gunfire was constantly here, and the three of them simply entered the lounge with good sound insulation effect.
Juan said: “Follow the Tiger Woods people who have just met Sean Ackerman of the Ackerman family.”
Campos heard these two names and said, “They are all objects that the boss requires to observe, increase the manpower, and follow them carefully.” (End of this chapter)
