Daily life of an American TV drama agent

Masik was not as angry as Ron imagined, but instead had a look of interest in his eyes.

"Then I guess you must have some chips that you think are worth it. Why don't you show me your chips? I mean what's in your briefcase. Show it to me. Maybe I can give it a price?"

Ron stopped pretending and put the children's notebook in his briefcase on Musk's desk.

"Although this notebook looks a bit old, I believe the contents inside will surprise you. I think it is reasonable to exchange this for your company shares."

I want to exchange my company’s stock for just such a notebook, and it’s a children’s notebook! Are you kidding me? Musk has a saying about MMP that he doesn’t know whether to take seriously or not.

However, he was very self-restrained and picked up the notebook and flipped through it. Unexpectedly, he couldn't take his eyes away after flipping through it.

Ron was not in a hurry and sat quietly waiting.

This notebook was used by Sheldon when he was 9 years old. That year he asked a question: "Since the aerospace industry is very expensive, why not recycle rockets?"

However, NASA's publicist just wanted to fool him with a sticker. The furious Sheldon spent a month sleepless and hard on the calculations, and finally completed all the calculations of the rocket from launch to recovery.

In other words, what is recorded in this book is a completely feasible recyclable rocket plan!

It was the Falcon 9 built by the Basque Space Exploration Company before Ron traveled through time. Although Musk cannot think of this genius and bold idea now, it does not prevent him from liking this plan equally.

As for the ownership of this book~

Sheldon had originally left it at NASA when George Sr. took his family to NASA, but Ron took it into consideration and went back to take it out.

By the way, when Sheldon encountered trouble, he got the complete ownership of this notebook in exchange for solving the trouble.

Therefore, Ron can say without hesitation that this book now completely belongs to him!

"Tell me, good boy, who came up with this genius idea! It's so great! If the rocket is designed exactly according to this idea, the cost of each launch will be reduced to an incredible level!"

Musk exclaimed.

"It doesn't matter whose idea it is, the key to the question now is that it belongs entirely to me, so, dear Mr. Musk, how many shares do you think it is worth?"

Ron asked with a normal expression, it looked like he was asking you what you had for lunch, but in fact, he was extremely excited.

Are you kidding? This is a share of Space Exploration Company. By 2020, the company's valuation will reach 40 billion US dollars. Even if Ron does nothing in the future, he can just sell the shares at the right time. Earn more money than your family can spend in a lifetime.

Thanks Sheldon!

However, Musk did not rush to quote, but closed the book and pushed it back to Ron.

"I admit it's a genius idea, but who told you I was going to buy it? Maybe you don't know, but actually, there are a lot of scientists working for me.

And the idea itself wasn't very difficult, and it didn't take long for me to replicate it. "

As a capitalist, of course, I consider maximizing profits. Since I already know the idea, I can just do it myself. Why should I pay for something I copied based on my ability?

I have to say that this reason is very powerful.

Ron didn't see any panic on his face, but asked instead: "What you said makes sense, but I want to ask you a question."

Musk made a gesture to ask.

"You know, what I provide you is a very complete plan that has been verified. Maybe you can copy my idea, but I guess it will take a long time to complete all the technical calculations, right?"

"Yes, it will take about one to two months, but I can definitely afford to wait." Musk said arrogantly, but it seemed that he still had no intention of compromising.

Ron continued: "That's right, but I think if I sell it to Mr. Bezos, maybe he can save a month or two of his time, what do you think?"

After saying that, Ron put the notebook back into his briefcase, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he continued to sit, enjoying the coffee brought by the beautiful secretary just now and playing with Musk's cigar.

Musk is of course not the only company engaged in space exploration in the United States. In fact, Blue Origin, which also focuses on space exploration, was founded earlier than Musk's space exploration company.

That company belongs to Amazon President Jeff Bezos, and the two companies are now competing for orders from NASA to launch missions in the next decade.

This is a rich deal! Musk is currently at a disadvantage.

Musk's face was filled with gloomy expressions due to Ron's dirty tricks, and he didn't say a word, not knowing what he was thinking, but Ron was getting a little bored waiting.

In this damn era without smartphones, he can't even play a mobile game to kill time now.

Why do the protagonists of other time-travel novels adapt to their new environment all of a sudden? God knows how long it took me to adapt to life without smartphones!

Fortunately, next year Apple will release the first iPhone, ushering mobile phones into the smartphone era, and the next year, the first Android mobile phone will be released. From then on, mobile phones will fully enter the competition between the two powers, and the Nokia in my hand will also Withdrew from the stage of history.

Thinking about it this way, Ron is no longer obsessed with Musk's shares in Space Exploration Company and Tesla. He can accept it if part of the shares can be cashed in.

At this time, it seems that if you buy some stocks of Apple and Google, you can make a lot of money?

"Okay, you win, how many shares do you want?" After a long time, Musk finally responded: "I still want to maintain control of the company, so if you plan to accept some cash, I would be very grateful."

"Of course, Elon, I'm sorry, can I call you that?" Ron stood up proudly, and Musk nodded indifferently to his new name: "Also, although I don't know how long it will take, the deal between us can be done quickly. One point done?

I'd be willing to take more cash if it was faster. "

At that moment, he had the idea of ​​agreeing first, holding off, and then privately asking scientists to help him come up with the plan before the deal between Ron and Bezos.

Ron blinked, and Musk smiled helplessly. He knew that another of his schemes had been discovered. As expected, no one who can be an agent is a fuel-efficient person.

"At first Tao Xi told me that you were the most outstanding young man he had ever seen. I still didn't believe it, but now I do."

Ron smiled: "Not only Mr. Tausi, but also Mr. Buffett said the same. Believe me, Elon, you made a wise decision."
