Due to the jet lag, the two girls slept very late the night before and were reluctant to get up in bed in the morning. Qin Mohan had to change his plan and planned to take them to Stanford University after breakfast.

"Sister, morning!"

"Sister-in-law, morning."

Looking at the two girls walking downstairs with sleepy eyes rubbing their eyes, Qin Mohan felt helpless and had to call them down for breakfast.

"Sister-in-law, where is my brother?" The aroma of the food made the two girls feel a little awake. Jin Yaran couldn't help asking when she saw that Qin Mohan was the only one in the restaurant.

"He asked someone to discuss things in the morning and has already gone out."

When Chen Fang arrived at this cafe, it was already nine:50. He was not used to arranging time with others and deliberately coming late to show his status and capital. In Shen Fang's view, punctuality is a virtue, and this is the minimum etiquette in interactions between people.

Fortunately, Elon Musk was not late either. He arrived at the cafe at 10 o'clock and five o'clock. Seeing Chen Fang who was already waiting in front of the window to taste the coffee, he hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, Mr. Chen, it's late."

"Not too late, I'm coming early." Chen Fang said to Musk: "You can call me Charles. My friends call me that."

"I'm honored to be your friend. Thank you, Charles, you can call me Allen." Musk was very kind.

"Alan, what are you drinking? I'll ask." Chen Fang reached out and called the waiter over.

When Chen Jie sat here, many coffee-drinking customers in the cafe noticed him that the general Asian face-blindness of Westerners made them feel that Chen Jie was familiar, but they didn’t know who it was. There were too many Asians working in Silicon Valley, and maybe they were technicians or managers of a certain company.

But when Elon Musk appeared and sat enthusiastically opposite Shen Fang, looking at his expression as if he was very respectful to the person on the other side, some people really began to pay attention to Chen Fang. Some even took out their phones and started to secretly take a picture and pass it on to their colleagues, asking them to help check who the Asian man was.

"Charles, I'm sorry yesterday. I didn't know you were on your honeymoon. I apologize for my recklessness." Although Elon Musk had already collected the information from Shenfang, he still had to pretend to be an encounter that he didn't know. After all, it is very impolite to disturb others' vacation and leisure abroad.

"It's okay, I don't know if you've learned it. I have at least ten months of rest a year." Chen Fang smiled: "This is famous in Paloato."

"Everyone has their own lifestyle. I am the one I can't spare. If I were allowed to rest for a week, I would be overwhelmed and even doubt the value of my existence."

Although Chen Fang is relatively lazy, he respects hard-working people. People like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk and even Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook are all such people. They will forget to eat and sleep for a project, and they like the joy of success. But what they gain is often personal physical diseases. This is how Jobs died of pancreatic cancer.

But Chen Fang couldn't do it. He worked so hard in his previous life, but he was more busy with small workers on the construction site and at the construction site of advertising installation. Later, he finally transformed into an advertising design company, but he committed suicide due to stomach cancer within two years. There is only one kind of heroism in the world, that is, he still loves life after seeing the truth of life. Chen Fang understood this truth after he was reborn, so he was always enjoying life.

After a simple greeting, Musk said to Chen Fang: "Charles, I wonder what you think of the Starlink plan I proposed?"

Chen Fang put down the cup in his hand, looked at Musk, and sighed: "A bold idea, if it can be implemented, there will be no blind spots in the world. Especially in the aviation field, my wife will never complain about the slow speed of connecting the Internet on the plane."

Hearing Chen Fang's praise, Musk was very excited and said to Chen Fang: "Charles, thank you. I hope I can get the support of Wild Fox Company. With your support, this plan can be implemented smoothly."

"Alan, calm down." Chen Fang reached out to signal him to calm down. Chen Fang's actions made Musk feel a little bad.

Chen Fang continued: "I support your plan, Allen, you also know that Spacex is currently facing huge losses. The recycling of Falcon 9 failed, so your Starlink plan can only stay on PPT. So do you have to calm down?"

"Charles, do you have no hope for the next launch of Falcon 9?" Musk asked in surprise: "You also know that when the board of directors agreed to the Wild Fox Company to invest, it was because you had a high trust in the future of the Falcon 9 Rockets."

"Elon, I still trust the future of Falcon 9. If it can be successful, Nasa's orders can fully support all the business needs of Spacex. But the Starlink plan involves too much, especially from the obstruction of telecommunications giants At&T and Verizon. Because you touched their cake." Chen Fang looked at Musk who was thinking, and continued: "Next year is the year of the change of leadership. Whether it is the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, their campaigners will represent the interests of traditional telecommunications giants. And your Starlink plan will involve the interests of global network operators, and this opposition force is too great."

Spacex's "Starlink" network is actually to use 12,000 satellites to build a space wi-fi covering all corners of the earth, so that all users in the world can use the Internet without barriers. It has to be said that this plan is grand, but there are many problems. First, it is obstruction from telecommunications and network operators, and secondly, obstruction from different national security levels. No country will allow its own citizens to connect to the global network without barriers.

"It seems that Mr. Chen is not optimistic about my plan." After saying that, Musk took a sip of coffee and looked at Chen Fang quietly. He has been starting a business in Silicon Valley for many years. He has seen countless investors' tricks, mostly like Chen Fang. He first attacked and demoted you to nothing, and then appeared in a savior manner.

Elon Musk has made a comprehensive consideration about the Starlink plan. Since he dared to propose this plan, it means that he believes that time will help him solve all problems. When this plan really starts to be implemented, countless investors will definitely follow suit. This is also his confidence as an emerging boss in the Internet industry in Silicon Valley.

"Allen, you probably misunderstood. I'm not optimistic about this plan." Chen Fang looked at Elon Musk without answering his question first, but asked another question: "I don't know how much you know about me?"

"You?" Musk looked at Chen Fang. He didn't know what the question Chen Fang meant.

"Yes, it's me. I know that Silicon Valley has a lot of comments on me. I say that I have a correct vision and never fail to invest. I'm as cunning as a fox." Chen Fang shook his head with a self-deprecating voice: "But you all overlooked one problem, that is, I am a Chinese and a Chinese investor."

"My investment in Apple, Google and Facebook has never exceeded 5%. Do you know why? It's because I'm from China." Chen Fang said with a smile: "I'm also very conscious. I never get involved in core technology issues, nor interfere with company operations, and only enjoy the benefits brought by shares. So Cook, Larry and even Mark are so relieved to me."

Chen Fang's words made Musk a little clear, understanding why the Wild Fox Company abstained at the shareholders' meeting instead of supporting either party. Musk said to Chen Fang: "Charles, I am not considering it well, but I urgently need the voting rights in your hands now, otherwise my Starlink plan will be shelved. We have made a lot of preparations for this plan in the early stage, and the investment has exceeded nearly one billion US dollars. If it is announced to be shelved, I have to apply to resign."

"The Starlink Project involves the United States' aerospace program. Just like what I just said, if I, a Chinese, dare to make a statement on this matter, I guess Cia will launch an investigation on me tomorrow." Chen Fang looked at Musk's somewhat sad expression and continued: "But I can give up the voting rights of this equity and you will hold it on your behalf."

Chen Fang's words shocked Musk. He didn't expect to get this unexpected joy. He knew clearly what 12% of the voting rights meant. He could control the board of directors through this voting rights and complete his plan. But after being excited, he was alert. He looked at Chen Fang and asked: "There will not be pies in the sky, and there is no free lunch. I don't know what I need to pay?"

Chen Fang smiled, and he knew that Musk was moved. The bargaining chips he gave completely moved him. Then Chen Fang made his own request: "Two choices: the first is that I hope to build a factory in China with Tesla. I hold 51% of the shares and Tesla provides all technical authorizations. The second option is that I build a factory independently, but I only need Tesla's new energy technical authorization, including technical support within the next five years."

Chen Fang's demands have always been on Tesla. Spacex is a jealous company, but because of his identity, the US security department will definitely not allow him to continue to hold a large number of shares after Spacex develops, and it is very likely that he will dilute his shares or kick him out directly. Since this possibility is possible, why not replace what he wants in advance. Among them, Tesla's new energy technology is what he wants more.

Chen Fang has greeted Peter and Cai Ruiheng in advance and has prepared a lot of funds. If the negotiations here go smoothly, no matter the two plans, Chen Fang can carry out the next step. As for his analysis, Peter, Cai Ruiheng and others, although Tesla is profitable, it is burdened with the big burden of spacex and cannot provide factory construction funds at present. If spacex's Falcon 9 is successfully launched in 2015, then it will be two things. Now it depends on Elon Musk's attention to the Chinese market.

Elon Musk was also a more determined person. He sat there and thought for about ten minutes. When Shen Fang wanted to refill for the second time, he gave his own answer: "I promise you, but I must get the voting rights for all the equity of Wild Fox Company in Spacex Company, and this is permanently authorized."

This is a closed loop. Only with the support of Wild Fox Company can Musk truly control Spacex Company. At this time, Spacex Company, which holds more than half of Tesla's equity, can decide Tesla's investment direction. Musk is still sure how to convince Tesla's management.
