Fang Daddy is in hand, I have the world

Chapter 740 Technology Upgrade
Hope left SpaceX, and no one knows what deal he ended up with Musk.

One afternoon, one night, time passed.

Early in the morning, in Menlo Park, California, at the headquarters of Sequoia Capital, CEO Johnny was frowning and thinking about things in the office.

As soon as I got to work today, I received three calls. Without exception, they were all calls from projects invested by Sequoia Capital asking for financing. Moreover, they all reached agreements with other shareholders, and only Sequoia Capital remained.

If Sequoia Capital does not make additional investments, it can only dilute its shares.

Johnny did not reply directly, but only said that the final decision would be made at noon, and immediately turned on the computer to call up the information of the three companies, and after reading it, he looked at the internal rating.

All belong to projects with great potential for future returns.

But if you don't give up, the three companies will need to invest 27 billion US dollars in total. It will be difficult for Sequoia Capital to withdraw so much cash in a while.

What to do, this problem is on the CEO Johnny.

"Ding ding ding" The phone on the table rang, but Johnny didn't move. At this moment, an electronic voice came from the phone, "Master, it's Musk calling."

Hearing this sentence, Johnny picked up the phone and pressed the answer button, and said politely, "Hey, Musk, why are you calling me at this time".

"Johnny, SpaceX's funds will soon bottom out. I communicated with other shareholders and must raise funds." Musk said this very calmly.

Johnny rubbed his head, and said with a displeased face, "Musk, I remember the last time we had a meeting, we had decided to maintain a stable development in the recent period, and SpaceX's funds will last for six months, no problem at all."

"Isn't it a bit too sudden for you to propose financing now?"

Johnny spoke very tactfully, and the meaning he expressed was very simple. You must abide by the agreement we reached last week. That is the opinion of all the directors.

You must not fool around!
"I got the news that the Starlight Space Company under the Protoss Group will send people into space at the end of this month. You know exactly what this means"

"When the Protoss Group has obtained enough manned space technology, it will definitely start a new space vehicle project, and continue to develop one after another"

"Time waits for no one, I can't waste six months in vain!"

Musk began to put pressure on Johnny, or in other words, transferred the pressure brought by the Protoss Group to these shareholders, and paid for it if he didn't want to bear the pressure.

It's not my responsibility to lose this competition if I don't pay!

Hearing this sentence, Johnny narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to cover the phone and cursed "Fack!".

"Musk, I can't give you an answer today. I'll call you tonight. I want to see the fund use report for this month."

Johnny neither agreed nor refused, giving an ambiguous answer.

"Well, I hope you give me good news tonight"

"By the way, three consortiums have contacted me. They want to invest in SpaceX. I think the current equity allocation of SpaceX is a bit unreasonable."

"Including today, I invite you to attend the board of directors in three days. If you can't come, it will be deemed as agreeing to the decision of the board of directors!"

"I hope the board of directors will introduce new funds to allow the company to make great strides in development."

Musk hung up the phone after saying this, looked at the phone and smiled, turned around and picked up the tablet to start busy with other tasks.

Hearing the sound of disconnection, Johnny threw the phone on the table with a "snap" and cursed "Fuck!".

I don't know if this sentence is scolding Musk or scolding these fucking things.

Starlight Space Company really wants to launch a manned rocket, and has submitted it to the relevant departments and obtained approval. It can choose an opportunity to launch within the next [-] days.

At the same time as the astronauts, there are 56 kinds of plants and 27 medicines. Let these plants and medicines receive cosmic radiation to see if they can produce the desired results.

Plants are hyperoxic plants, and genetic changes have been carried out in the laboratory. Once these plants are planted and grow, they will produce more oxygen during photosynthesis.

Compared with normal plants, the oxygen production rate has increased by [-]%.

Don't underestimate the six percent, it is definitely a huge improvement for botany.

At present, a number of species have been transplanted to the large biosphere test site for growth. This time they are sent to space to see if they can continue to improve.

Gao Jin is very clear that if he wants to establish a permanent base on other planets, the plan for the large biosphere is the key. Only a complete large ecological circle can be self-sufficient.

Just counting on transporting materials from the earth, even the United States, can't bear it.

Just today, Gao Jin did not go to the inner ring to inspect the project, but stayed alone in the villa, communicating with the protoss in his mind.

The 12 yuan crystal board has been fully deciphered by Protoss, and there are many black technologies in it.

After learning about these technologies, Gao Jin's eyes brightened, and he realized that the era of changing the world had come.

At noon, Jane started calling according to Gao Jin's arrangement.

Let these people go to Dorenado Island for a meeting within a week. They are not allowed to ask for leave and must be present. The meeting time is about a week!
It is necessary to bring all the project research and development progress reports, staffing reports, expense reports, etc. of the research institute in charge.

All scientific research projects of Protoss Group must be comprehensively sorted out and adjusted.

To carry out technology upgrades!

The people who received the call did not dare to be careless, and each of them said that they would arrive on time, and immediately started to arrange after hanging up the phone.

Time passed day by day, and three days passed without knowing it.

The United States, SpaceX headquarters, all directors came here today to participate in the emergency board meeting.

I have received calls from Musk in the past few days, and everyone knows what they are doing here.

In the huge conference room, even though the door is closed, the security guards standing at the door can hear the quarrels and roars of the big figures inside!
It can be seen how fierce the board of directors is this time.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, with a break of 10 minutes to ease the tense atmosphere.

After 10 minutes, the meeting restarted, and Hope was invited by Musk to join the board of directors.

The meeting only went on for more than 20 minutes, and the emergency light at the door of the meeting room was turned on. After seeing it, the security guards rushed into the meeting room immediately.

The huge conference room has already staged martial arts, and the directors have started fighting.

Hope’s participation in the board of directors today is not unprepared. Several major shareholders of SpaceX have been settled by Hope, and they cooperate with Musk to forcefully promote a financing plan of up to 2000 billion U.S. dollars.

If you can’t pay, you will dilute your shares, or Musk and Hope can buy your shares.

To put it bluntly, it is to rely on capital to grab!
Don't look at Musk as a tech maniac, in terms of business, he can still turn his face and deny others with great proficiency!

When it was time to turn around, he was not soft at all.

The security guard came in and separated the two groups of people. Musk waved his hand and pulled the seven small shareholders out. He turned around and said a few words in the ear of the bodyguard next to him. The bodyguard nodded and followed the security guard out.

The rest of the staff continued to meet, and this time it went very smoothly, and the US$2000 billion financing plan was passed smoothly.

After confirming the time when the funds will arrive in the account, the meeting is adjourned.

Musk and Hope came to the small meeting room and started arguing with the seven small shareholders. They didn't eat lunch, and the stalemate lasted until after two o'clock in the afternoon.

The seven minority shareholders succumbed and sold their shares to Musk and Hope.

After the goal was achieved, Musk discussed with Hope, and Hope left in the car. Marcus looked at Hope's car and narrowed his eyes slowly.

Turning around, Musk's face regained its calmness, and it became as calm as before, which was heart-wrenching.

"Notify the heads of all departments to hold a meeting, and ask the cafeteria to deliver a standard food." Musk explained to the assistant before entering the office, and then walked into the office.

The assistant rubbed his head, picked up the phone and first notified the cafeteria to deliver food, and then began to notify the directors of various departments of the company about the meeting.

Time passed little by little. Musk had eaten food in the office and looked at the time. It was already past four o'clock. He went to the lounge to wash his face and tidy himself up. He picked up his clothes and left the office.

Head straight to the conference room to host the meeting.

With 2000 billion funds in place, many plans can be launched, and tasks must be assigned, and the sooner we act, the sooner we will succeed.

With a bang, the door of the conference room was pushed open, Musk walked into the conference room quickly, everyone stopped talking, and the huge conference room became quiet.

"Guys, I'm announcing something, if you have any questions, please record them, and ask questions after I finish speaking"

"During my announcement, all questions are prohibited!"

After Musk finished speaking, he shot a circle of people, everyone nodded, picked up their pens and opened their notebooks, so that they could record questions,

I am used to Musk's work style.

"Rocket research and development department, the two Falcon [-] rocket research and development departments are currently combined into one, with Dr. Harleko as the project leader, responsible for the development of a new generation of Falcon rocket"

"Dr. Templeda set up another R&D team, which can take five people away from the original team, and additionally recruit personnel to set up a Mars rocket (quantum level) R&D team"

"The design department, start the design of the Mars spacecraft, upgrade it on the first-generation Mars blueprint, and must meet the characteristics"

(Note: The drawings of the first generation of Mars spacecraft have been designed, but they have not been built)
"Personnel Department, start recruiting from today."

"The new spacesuit department will immediately start the design of a new generation of spacesuits. The real thing must be produced by the end of this year. Compared with the original, the weight must be reduced by more than ten kilograms!"

"Food department"

Musk took his notebook and began to issue orders one by one. All the departments in the meeting below were involved, and everyone was shocked.

To start so many projects suddenly, the cost is astronomical. Is Musk crazy?
