Chapter 490: Encounter on the Stadium(1/2)

For an international auto show like this, Li Yuan definitely doesn't need to work at the show. He has so many subordinates, and he only needs to listen to reports every night.

And these days, he also has some social activities. For example, now, he came to Auburn Hills to watch a regular NBA game.

In fact, when it comes to the Pistons, they are a veteran team in the NBA. They are famous for being the bad boy team in history.

We should not see teams like this anymore. The players all seem to be gentlemen, speaking diplomatic language and acting like diplomats.

In the 1980s, the Pistons coach at the time decided to build a tough defensive team, so Detroit's "bad boys" set off a defensive whirlwind in the league. Almost every opponent hated their brutal scrambling and countless

However, the Bad Boys Legion relied on these tricks that their opponents hated to win again and again. Especially, the newly debuted Air Jordan was so excited that he was in a state of ecstasy.

Among the bad boys, the more famous one is Rodman.

But the most evil one among them is Laimbeer. It can be said that it is too many to list, and it is hated by almost all NBA teams.

And Laimbeer is still a very interesting character. He was born in a millionaire family (a very rich family at that time), and he has always hated playing basketball. Unexpectedly, he finally "degenerated" and became an NBA player?

This is the standard template for the rich second generation - if you can't play football well, you can only go home and inherit a huge family fortune! (laughing and crying)

And Laimbeer has had live fights with almost all NBA stars of his generation. In his mind, isn't the NBA just a place for group fights? Why do we need multiple basketballs? (laughing and crying)

As for Rodman, he was actually Laimbeer's "good student", and he became the same person anyway.

Also, when Laimbeer retired, one of his championship rings was given to a stripper, and the other was thrown directly into the toilet?

It can be said that his bad character has been revealed!

But having said that, the opponents can still hate the Bad Boys to the core, but the fans love to watch it? And they can still win the championship!

Therefore, the Auburn Hills stadium is quite fanatical. Although this game is a regular season game, it is still full.

Leading Jiang Qingqing into the VIP passage: "Huh?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but exclaimed because he saw a very familiar face.

The white young man also turned around, was stunned for a moment, and then took the initiative to greet: "Hi, Li."

"Haha, I didn't expect to see you, Mr. Musk."

Yes! It’s that Musk.

However, Musk is not that famous now, and the world is still dominated by the second generation Yang Zhiyuan.

Today, Musk is still one of the "ordinary" technology upstarts in Silicon Valley. In 1999, Zip2, which he founded, was acquired and made a profit of US$22 million.

Musk immediately spent 10 million to start

It should be said that Musk has achieved financial freedom. And the blonde girl accompanying him should be one of his ex-wives or ex-girlfriends!

Seeing that Li Yuan could recognize him, Musk seemed very happy: "Li, are you also coming to watch the Pistons game today?"

Li Yuan smiled and nodded: "I am cheering for the away team, the Nuggets. I have already purchased the Nuggets."

"Oh!" Musk didn't seem to know about this. He probably came here to join in the fun and was one of those fake fans.

During this period, Musk had sold all of the company and basically lived a life of "idleness" and enjoyment.

Of course, many people later learned that this man was actually an idealist. He had successively invested in many unicorn companies and held a large stake in them. He was also a business genius.

Li Yuan took the initiative to invite: "Musk, if it's convenient, can you come to my box?"

"It's an honor!" Musk also seemed very polite. In fact, he has a high emotional intelligence and is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. The main reason why he later commented on his personality is that he didn't take you seriously at all.

.

After all, the NBA is a business league, and everything here is business!

Therefore, in Auburn Hills, Li Yuan, the owner of the Nuggets, still has a reputation. The Pistons owner personally arranged it and gave him a box with a good location.

However, after inviting Musk to the box, Li Yuan felt a little dumbfounded.

It seems that all the things I make will compete with Musk in the future, right? So this is my lifelong enemy, right?

While both teams were warming up, the two started chatting:

"Li, among the companies in Silicon Valley now, which company do you like the most? Exclude your parallel lines."

"Of course Apple. I particularly like Steve Jobs."

"Oh? Have you personally invested in Apple stocks?"

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I just established Xiaolu Mobile. Maybe it will become a competitor of Apple in the future."

Realizing that Musk was a little confused, Li Yuan explained: "In terms of technical reserves, even my parallel lines are far behind, and there is no way I can compete with Apple. But our digital product OEM industry in China is very developed and can bring down the price."

To an incredible extent. So in the low-end market, I believe that my Xiaolu phone still has certain advantages."

"Oh?" Musk was immediately interested, and he took the initiative to ask about the domestic digital OEM supply chain.

Li Yuan answers all questions, and this is not a confidential matter. Seeing Musk in high spirits makes it a little funny. It seems that this person is not willing to be lonely?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan suddenly had an idea and couldn't help being surprised.

Silicon Valley is on the West Coast, while Detroit belongs to the East Coast. Musk is not from here, and even the place where he lives and works is completely different. Why did he come to Detroit? Could it be...?

"Musk, are you here to see the auto show too?"

Musk nodded: "I happen to have some free time, and I wanted to find out if there are any investment opportunities."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Yuan was stunned, this...? Maybe the investment in Tesla happened at this auto show, right?

So do you want to step in? How about buying Tesla yourself? It will take away Musk’s luck. He is not Chinese anyway.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel happy.

Forget it, you can’t be so wicked as a human being, let’s leave a way for others to survive!

If you keep such a lifelong enemy, then some life will be challenging. If you keep going like this, there won't be that kind of excitement...

Of course, this idea is just that Li Yuan seeks comfort for himself.

In reality, the rise of Musk's several high-tech companies is behind the strong promotion of the US government, which not only provides technology, funds, and even laws and policies. It is no exaggeration to say that if Musk wants a

For an imperial edict, their White House can directly write him one!

For example, for the Starship project, how much technology and talent has NASA transferred?

One thing to say here is that no matter how you evaluate it, NASA's technical foundation is quite powerful, especially a group of very powerful aerospace scientists.

If top talents in the field of engineering like this switch to other private companies, their income will definitely increase greatly. The reason why these talents do not change jobs is indeed for their ideals and their love for space!

So Starship has such a strong engineering team? No matter how rich Musk is, he can't possibly recruit people from NASA. It's nothing more than a "package gift" from NASA.

Imagine, what kind of support is this?

To be fair, the same is true for Li Yuan. Hasn't he always been the good baby of the motherland? He has also been given a lot of conveniences and policies.

Therefore, an acquisition like this will definitely become a useless effort in the end. Is Yingjiang full of food? How can it be possible to use capital and technology to support a certain Chinese Yuan brother?

To put it bluntly, even if Li Yuan started it, he would be forced to sell it in the end. There would be no benefit...

The game finally started, and the two teams started fighting fiercely.

However, the Nuggets are still a weak team at this time, basically the kind of bad team that can't even make the playoffs. The Pistons are a strong team in the Eastern Conference, and are basically one of the favorites for the championship.

Therefore, after persisting for a while, the score gradually opened up, and soon it became a one-sided situation.

Musk was a little curious: "Lee, why don't you strengthen your team? You shouldn't be short of money, right? Like Allen's Trail Blazers or Cuban's Mavericks? What they want is a championship."

The two above are also upstarts in technology, and Allen is also one of the co-founders of Microsoft. After they acquired the NBA team, they began spending huge sums of money with only one goal - a championship!

Li Yuan smiled and shook his head: "I have given the club a lot of support. The Nuggets' advertising revenue can reach the top three. But I don't understand team building, so I'd better trust those professionals!"

"Then you should change managers and coaches. I still like to use KPIs to speak."

"Haha." Sure enough, Musk has this kind of style. When it comes to work, he is the kind of person who can't get rid of the sand in his eyes. "Let's see! I can give them a few more seasons of patience."

In fact, Li Yuan doesn't care about this at all. Now that we have excellent advertising effects, what more bicycles do we need?

Anyway, Musk will understand this truth in the future. He goes on shows everywhere and often tweets, isn’t it just to promote his products?

Although Musk's approach is quite effective, Li Yuan is not willing to show up in public like this, as it would be too tiring.

In addition, there are differences between cultures and regions. Some things that you don’t care about in China become very sensitive abroad. For example, those who are politically correct may get into trouble out of nowhere by speaking out.

It’s better to just troll people directly, that’s how fun it will be!

Halfway through the game, it was time for halftime. As expected, the Nuggets were already trailing by 16 points.

Having said that, the halftime break in the NBA is still very beneficial. A group of cheerleaders are dancing, which is exciting to watch.

Finally, when the performance was completed, there was actually a live lottery. Three lucky spectators stood in the center circle, and they were going to throw a super long three-pointer here. If they could make the shot, they would receive a bonus of 10,000 US dollars.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, none of the three lucky ones made a hit. Amidst the laughter, there were sighs of regret everywhere.

The on-site DJ was very good at warming up the show. When they saw that there was still time, they started to play a classic program, a classic game in the NBA - the live camera was projected on a man and a woman next to each other. Whether they knew each other or not, they wanted to come.

A sweet kiss?

Amid laughter, pairs of pairs appeared one after another... lucky ones!

At first they were lovers, father and daughter or mother and son, but later they started to prank, and it was obvious that several groups of unknown men and women appeared...

Amidst the laughter, another couple appeared on the big screen... a boy and a boy? They are really good at pranking, and they actually projected it directly into the box, putting Li Yuan and Musk on it?
To be continued...
