Because Chen Fan had a last-minute appointment, everyone's flight had to be delayed for another day.
The next day, Chen Fan drove alone to the appointment.
The meeting place is at a hotel.
"Chen. This way!"
Old William saw Chen Fan coming out of the elevator and waved with a smile.
Chen Fan also walked over with a smile and waved.
"Mr. William, I arrived early."
"Haha, it seems you are also interested in my friend."
"After listening to you talk so much that night, to be honest, even I was a little affected."
"I think you're absolutely right. If we can go to the moon in the future, whether it's walking on the moon or having our ashes scattered there after death, it will be a very romantic thing."
After hearing this, old William laughed.
"I can actually tell, Chen, you and I are the same type of people."
"They are all adventurous people at heart."
Old William glanced towards the elevator and spoke with a smile.
"My friend has arrived."
Chen Fan quickly turned around.
Seeing the young foreigner in a casual suit walking over, Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Who else could this guy be but Elon Musk.
It’s actually not difficult to guess.
These days, there are only a handful of people in the world who have the ability to run the private space business.
Musk is definitely the most well-known one.
But it's a pity.
In recent years, Musk founded SpaceX, and several of the rockets he launched ended in failure.
The first Falcon 1 launch in 2006 failed.
In 2007, the second launch of Falcon 1 failed.
The third failure came in 2008. It was not until the first launch of Falcon 1 in September 2008 that it successfully entered orbit for the first time.
Although this success allowed him to obtain some funds from private investors, space research and development was too expensive.
Moreover, the extremely low launch success rate makes people completely lose hope.
Even if they are optimistic about the future of this field, many investors have already made it clear that they will no longer invest in this guy.
And many people believe that personal research and development of space launch vehicles is a wrong approach.
People invest in the hope of reaping rich rewards in the future, not to waste their money.
It is also because of this that Musk has not had a good time recently.
The funds will soon be exhausted. Once there is no money, all research and development will come to a standstill.
Therefore, during this period, Musk has been traveling around to major investment institutions and individual investors, hoping to attract investment.
But aerospace is something that sounds vague and illusory, and many people are not optimistic about it.
So Musk ran into obstacles everywhere, failed to get any investment, and became very depressed.
Old William was a friend he had known for a long time and was also one of the first partners to support his aerospace research and development.
But the family that old William belongs to is not decided by him alone.
It’s quite a gesture to be able to persist in investing in Musk so many times.
During this time, Musk has been soliciting investment for a rocket launch.
Yesterday, Musk called William Sr. with a try-it-out attitude, but William Sr. invited Musk to meet him in Los Angeles, saying that he wanted to introduce a friend to him.
To be honest, Musk didn't expect that the friend introduced to him by old William would be a Chinese.
And still so young.
But he doesn't care about these things. As long as the other party has money and is willing to invest in him, he can accept it.
Because he is really going crazy because of money now.
The three of them met, introduced themselves briefly, and then sat down and started chatting.
After a few pleasantries, the topic naturally turned to the aerospace field.
Musk asked Chen Fan, "Mr. Chen, are you also interested in the aerospace field?"
Chen Fan glanced at Old William and said with a smile, "To be honest, I'm personally very interested in the aerospace field, but I don't have a very deep understanding of it."
"I had a chat with Mr. William the night before, and one of his words left a deep impression on me."
"Oh?" Musk glanced at old William.
"What did he say?"
"He said it would be very interesting if he had the chance to be buried on the moon after his death."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I think the same as him. If in the future I have the opportunity to fly into outer space on a spacecraft, or walk on the moon with my wife, I think it will definitely be an unforgettable experience."
Hearing this, Musk laughed.
"It seems that Mr. Chen is also an entrepreneur who understands romance very well."
At this time, old William said just right: "In fact, Elon currently runs a private airline."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded.
"I see. I've seen reports about your company online before."
Musk was a little embarrassed.
"The media must be making a big fuss about my spaceship failing."
Chen Fan shook his head and said seriously.
"You are undertaking a cause that is extremely meaningful to the future of humanity. Therefore, early failures are not failures, but rather accumulations for future successes."
"It's like humanity's charge into the universe. Every attempt cannot be considered a failure."
"That's a hymn of courage."
"Hymn of courage!" Musk murmured again, his eyes lighting up instantly.
"Mr. Chen, what you said is very good. I will remember it and use it to motivate myself."
Old William looked at Chen Fan with a smile.
"Elon's company is currently facing financial difficulties. The company is preparing for a spacecraft launch and urgently needs financial support."
"Chen, are you interested in investing?"
Chen Fan smiled, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Because he knew very well that the launch six months ago was a success.
After that, Musk's company's valuation soared, and he no longer had to worry about investment, because at that time there would be countless investment institutions willing to invest in him.
But now, the spacecraft has not been launched yet, and everything is unknown.
So, for me, it is the best time to enter the market.
Chen Fan pretended to ponder for a few seconds.
"To be honest, I don't have a deep understanding of the aerospace field."
"However, I admire entrepreneurs who explore future areas."
"Besides, Mr. William and I hit it off right away."
"Mr. Elon, if you really have financial difficulties, I can help you."
"real?"
Musk sat up straight in excitement.
"Really? That's really great."
William reminded with a smile.
"Chen, won't you think about it carefully for a while?"
"Although we are good friends, when it comes to investing, we still need to think carefully before making a decision."
Chen Fan smiled.
"I won't consider it anymore."
"Mr. William, if there is a chance in the future, I also hope to take Mr. Elon's spaceship with you to go to outer space and see the scenery outside."
Upon hearing this, old William burst into laughter.
He raised his glass towards Chen Fan.
"Chen, you are a very interesting person."
"We have a deal!"
