After dinner, Musk did not go to the hotel. There were many guest rooms in his new home, so he could just stay there.
Xia Yu invited him to visit his private library. There were many functional buildings independent of the house, but most of them were garages and sunrooms. Libraries were not common, especially when built on the basis of a century-old villa.
The two opened a bottle of Tesla Tequila, a gift from Musk on the trip.
“How does it taste? I plan to release this wine next year.”
Musk asked, he had made many cross-border products such as flamethrowers and surfboards, but this was his first time to get involved in the wine industry.
"It feels good. How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Xia Yu took a sip and said that he didn't drink much tequila, but he could still taste the good ones.
"It's expected to be $250 a bottle. It seems that Chinese people don't like this number."
"Yes, but scalpers will drive up the price. You might have to pay $2,500 to buy it."
The supply is limited but not too expensive, so in the end, the only ones who get the cheapest products are scalpers. Xia Yu doesn't like scalpers, and he doesn't need to go through scalpers. The manufacturer will deliver the things he likes to his door, regardless of whether the supply is limited or not.
Musk gave him a whole box of tequila, and Xia Yu also gave him a gift in return.
"This is for you."
A bright orange "gold bar" was pushed in front of Musk.
"Could it be..."
Musk recalled a scene on the Invincible class.
"Yes, this is a copper ingot made from Tiger 88mm armor-piercing shells. I brought it back and polished it."
Giving gold bars as gifts is so tacky. Melting shell casings from engine tail flames to cast copper ingots is no more meaningful than gold bars. Xia Yu brought back a box this time, all of which were hand-polished and stamped by him. It was full of ritual sense and its value could not be measured by money.
"It's a very nice gift. I will send it into space when I travel around the moon."
Musk accepted the gift and said, the money he spent on this trip is probably more expensive than the gold bars of the same size, but money can't buy his happiness. Musk is also a straightforward and free-spirited person.
The two of them drank and chatted in the library, and time soon came to 9:30 in the evening. At this time, the stock market in Magnesium, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, also officially opened.
Tesla saw a big surge as soon as the market opened. What happened in China during the day has already affected the other side of the earth, or it may be that Chinese investors are buying.
The stock price, which had rebounded to around $200 in the past two days, climbed again, reaching $223 in just one hour, an increase of more than 10%.
Investors who drove up the stock price were betting that Tesla and Jierui Power would join hands and announce a partnership, and Musk's appearance at Xia Yu's graduation ceremony was the clearest signal.
In addition, Tesla's stock price has been fluctuating over the past year, and it has hit bottom after falling below $200. Even if you buy the dip now, you won't be able to catch the first wave of the market. If you don't act now, it will be too late.
Xia Yu and Musk had already anticipated the stock market turmoil, but they only learned the specific details the next day.
"Stock investors are like sharks that smell blood. They rush in whenever they see something profitable."
Musk commented that his stock repurchase plan started before he met Xia Yu, and he was confident that Tesla's stock price could rise back to $400.
(PS: The previous operation seems to involve insider trading. The situation in Magnesium is different from that in China. We can only set the system funds to have special characteristics to avoid related investigations...)
Similarly, Larry Sr. and Xia Yu are also optimistic about Tesla's future.
"Originally, I only planned to make a quick buck in the short term, but now I think Tesla's stock is suitable for long-term holding. Maybe it will break $1,000 next year."
Xia Yu is more confident than Musk, or he is more confident in his own battery technology. It will be a major benefit no matter who he cooperates with.
Before he acquired Jierui Power, Xia Capital had already begun to lay out its plans in the new energy industry, and is now reaping the rewards.
The first thing is that Xia Yu has vision, and the second thing is Gu Jia's credit. She left the investment industry after marriage, and only after returning after divorce did she truly display her talents.
Gu Jia Gu Jia, the homonym of which is Gu family and stock price, is a lucky charm for her husband. Unfortunately, a scumbag named Xu betrayed her and she suffered a terrible backlash.
Xia Yu was different. He had never promised anything, so how could he betray? Instead, he knew how to appoint the right people and gained Gu Jia's absolute loyalty. He fought this battle beautifully.
"I don't even dare to think about it. The best outcome would be for the price to rise back to $400 before the end of the year."
"Elon, you have to have confidence in yourself and in me. Let's go to JETRO after breakfast."
After saying this, Xia Yu drank the milk in the cup.
"Really? I can't wait."
Musk also quickened his eating speed as he spoke.
Half an hour later, Zeppelin drove out of the garden path, merged into the traffic on Yuyuan Road, and turned onto the elevated road towards the suburbs.
Musk has walked this road. Tesla's Shanghai factory is located in Lingang and is also passed through this road, but the site of Jierui Power is closer to the city.
"I have a farm in the suburbs of Fudong. We can have dinner there when we get back from the factory."
As the host, Xia Yu took the initiative to arrange the itinerary. Musk had never seen a farm in China, but he was very interested in it. However, he was most interested in the 2.0 battery cell.
This polymer battery cell will bring a qualitative leap to the subsequent development of electric vehicles. He wishes that this is a battery developed by Tesla itself. Unfortunately, SpaceX's continuous good luck did not pass on to Tesla's battery self-research department.
If you can't research it yourself, the best way is to cooperate. Tesla needs to cooperate with Jierui Power on batteries, and Xia Yu's space mining also needs to cooperate with SpaceX. Cooperation is the best solution when each party has its own strengths.
