Chapter 170 It is my greatest honor to be Ming Dynasty’s dog

The next day.

Bai Ye was woken up by Han. When he opened his eyes, what he saw was Julia Koch and Elizabeth Koch's sisters-in-law with charming smiles on their faces.

How can I put it, mature women are indeed like little she-wolves that cannot be fed enough.

…

"Bai Ye, you are good at it, how can you take down Koch so quickly?"

At the banquet, Tony held the dinner plate, forked a piece of tender beef with a fork, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and said with a smile.

"I can't help it. Who made those people focus on me? If I don't teach them a lesson, they might think I'm a fool!"

Bai Ye was wearing a tuxedo, holding a red wine glass, taking a sip of wine and said.

"But you used your method well this time. You just took down two women from the Koch family, and you took care of Koch." Tony said with a smile: "I thought you were going to do what you told me last time. We’ve killed all the Kochs, and now we’re going to take over the Kochs!”

"Originally I thought so, but who told me to discover Koch's flaw again?" Bai Ye shrugged and said: "I think taking down Julia Koch and Elizabeth Koch will make Koch The brother ended up in a more painful way, so that’s what he did.”

"Bai Ye, stop being so extreme." Tony sighed helplessly: "Just use commercial methods and don't just kill the whole family at every turn. Modern civilization is not a feudal society! I know, you You have a team of superpowers under your control, and you can hit anyone you don't like, but you are pushing yourself against capital, causing a separation between you and society, even if you can kill all those people. , you may not be the winner. Because you may have caused a catastrophe to the world."

"Recently I was reading the work of a great politician, and there was a theory in it that I found very interesting - make more friends, and make fewer enemies. To do things, we must unite all the forces that can be united and strengthen the united front. , Don’t let the enemy become a hindrance, only then can you do great things, instead of just killing and killing all day long.”

"You have to learn to analyze your enemies, establish a connection of interests, and use your interests to drive them, so as to satisfy their interests and achieve your own goals."

Bai Ye looked at Tony in surprise, what are you talking about? You are one of the largest capitalists in the United States. Is this what you should say?

Mud, this seems to be my line!

"Of course I know." Bai Ye said: "But this friend has many friends, and I must be the main one. Of course, I can't let people with ulterior motives become my friends! The Koch family is not worthy of being my friend! Of course, I I don’t plan to go too far, I just want to bring out the Koch family, scare them, and teach them a lesson.”

During this time, Julia Koch inherited 45% of the shares of Koch Industries after David Koch's death, and Elizabeth Koch also divorced Charles Koch, split the shares, and received 20% Shares of Koch Industries, then White Night is equivalent to relatively controlling Koch Industries. The major shareholders changed, so a new board of directors meeting was held, Charles Koch was kicked out of Koch Industries, and Koch Industries was appointed as the new chairman. Concurrently held by Felicia.

Charles Koch could delay his divorce lawsuit with Elizabeth Koch, but with the equity and property freezes, he could not allocate funds to fight Osborne's invasion. After thinking about it, Charles Koch felt that the end was over. He also chose to accept his fate, keep everything simple, and divorced Elizabeth Koch.

Afterwards, Charles Koch also expressed his intention to surrender to Bai Ye through Norman Osborn, and Koch Industries gave it to Bai Ye so that Bai Ye would not kill him.

Because of the loss of Koch Industries, Charles Koch was already in dire straits. I don’t know how many forces that the Koch family had offended were looking for trouble for him overtly or covertly. At this time, Charles Koch rationally chose to confront Bai Ye. Coward.

As for Bai Ye, he was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see Charles Koch suffer so much, so he added an additional $20 million to the $10 million bounty that the Koch family's victims of the Continental Hotel had collected for Charles Koch. As for the rest of the matter, it has nothing to do with Bai Ye - when Charles Koch still controlled Koch Industries, the Continental Hotel had no bounty on the Koch family. To put it bluntly, no matter how powerful the Black Snake seemed, Basically, they are just the black gloves of a big shot. Without a protective umbrella, how many divisions in the Continental Hotel dare to provoke the United States? The Koch family used to be a member of the big shots, so they would not be included in the hunting list of the Continental Hotel by the big shots. Now that the Koch family has lost its power, all kinds of monsters and monsters have emerged.

"That's right, in business, you can't use murderous methods often, otherwise no one will play with you in the future." Tony said: "Anyway, Koch Industries will let you swallow it, which is enough to make you fat. It seems that Koch Industries is valued at US$100 billion. In fact, once it goes public, the market value will be more than US$300 billion, which should be enough for you to digest for a while.”

Although Tony also knew that David Koch's death probably had a lot to do with Bai Ye, but his death was justified and could not cause much trouble. It would be insignificant compared to Bai Ye actually controlling the super warrior to come and kill people. .

What he is worried about is not the Koch family, or even White Night, but that White Night will destroy social stability and turn the United States into the Greater Middle East.

"Not enough! Not enough!" Bai Ye stretched out his finger, shook it, and said, "I have set a small goal for myself, that is, first make him 10 trillion U.S. dollars, a mere Koch Industries, which is far away from my goal. Still a long way to go!"

Tony: "..."

He feels that Bai Ye is crazy. Do you know what the concept of 10 trillion US dollars is?

With tens of billions of dollars, they are the world's top richest people!

"Hey, Mr. Osborn, Mr. Stark!"

While they were talking, a middle-aged, fair-skinned fat man at the banquet walked over, waving towards Bai Ye and Tony.

None other than Elon Musk.

"Oh, it's Lao Ma, you're here too."

Bai Ye smiled and said hello, and said to Tony:

"This is Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, the new energy vehicle company we both invested in."

"Mr. Stark, I have seen you for a long time." Musk immediately came over, bowed slightly, and greeted Tony warmly: "Last time I came to New York, because my schedule was too busy, I didn't come to see you. It was really rude."

Tony also remembered that this Musk should be the homeless man worth $1 billion that Bai Ye once said.

He and Bai Ye not only invested in Musk's Tesla, but also invested in Musk's SpaceX company. Stark Group provided US$500 million, plus assistance for some of Stark Group's military satellite patents, occupying 20% ​​of SpaceX's shares. , Galaxy Capital invested US$1 billion, accounting for 20% of SpaceX's shares.

This is a man who is deeply bound to his interests and those of Bai Ye.

Tony also had to resist his dislike of dealing with strangers. He smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Musk's hand:

"Nice to meet you. Bai Ye praised you so much. He actually thinks that after me, the next richest man in the world should be you."

"Nonono, Master Osborne praises me too much. How can I afford this?" Musk quickly waved his hand and said, "I think, in the future, the richest man in the world, if not Mr. Stark, should be Master Osborne." .”

At the age of 38, Musk stood like a minion!

Bai Ye looked at the female companion brought by Musk: "Old Ma, as this beauty, who are you?"

"Oh, let me introduce to you, this is Amber Heard, my girlfriend, a Hollywood actress." Mask pulled the blonde beauty and said with a smile: "Amber, this is The two Masters Osborne and Mr. Stark."

"Master Osborne and Mr. Stark."

Amber Heard bowed her head slightly and said hello.

"Oh, Musk, your girlfriend is so beautiful!"

Tony's eyes lit up and he gave Musk a thumbs up.

Bai Ye looked at Amber Heard with a complicated expression.

If you just look at the appearance, this woman looks very beautiful, but... no matter what, Bai Ye can't forget that she actually flew on the boat...

This is a delicious beauty.

Well……

Bai Ye thought of a possibility. Could it be that this woman had been raped too many times, so she couldn't control herself and became incontinent?

In short...Bai Ye has no interest in her.

Seeing Musk's pride that he had found a top-notch beauty as his girlfriend, and Tony's coveting gaze, Bai Ye secretly sighed, life is really lonely as snow.

You two guys, just wait for this woman to be in your bed... so what?

"My dear, the Falcon 1 rocket was launched successfully, right?"

Bai Ye asked.

"Yes." Bai Ye asked this, and Musk immediately became excited and said: "Falcon 1 has finally successfully entered orbit. This is thanks to Master Osborne's financial support and Mr. Stark's patent. Authorization.”

Bai Ye: "That's good. In fact, since I heard about the successful launch of Falcon 1, I have also asked the people below to help you negotiate with NASA. If nothing goes wrong, NASA should sign a contract with you. A contract worth around $2 billion.”

"Really?" Musk said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Master!"

Musk felt that Bai Ye was really kind to him.

During his desperate times, the worst times of his life, he would wake up from nightmares, screaming and close to a nervous breakdown.

At this time, Baiye appeared like a ray of light. It acquired Tesla and injected a large amount of capital into it. It also gave the Ark Reactor a new energy source that could serve as a vehicle energy source for an era. It also injected a large amount of capital into Space The Musk Group's rocket and satellite technology authorization has taken his dream of exploring space a big step forward. After such a deal, Musk is now a rich man with a net worth of nearly 4 billion U.S. dollars. Now the young master has gone to great lengths to find NASA for himself. Pulling in orders... It’s my greatest honor to be the young master’s dog!

"You're welcome. In fact, NASA itself is also looking for new suppliers. I'm just following the trend."

Bai Ye smiled slightly.

NASA's own son is really screwed. Previous launch missions were mainly completed by ULA, a launch alliance composed of companies such as Boeing. According to NASA's own estimates, a rocket costs about US$1.6 billion to US$4 billion, and more What’s more, the archaeological moon landing rocket Ace Pigeon SLS to be launched in 2022 has a two-year research and development cost of nearly 30 billion US dollars, which is a model of cheating. However, Spacex’s research and development cost for the first version of Falcon 9 is only 300 million US dollars. Dollar.

How to compare?

Of course, NASA is not looking for Space Just go with the flow and let Space x successfully get a share of the pie.

"The future development of Space "

"I see!"

Musk nodded heavily.

"In addition, the commercialization of Tesla models must be promoted as soon as possible." Tony also reminded.

Bai Ye looked at Tony: "Why, Stark Group is short of money now?"

"Nonsense!" Tony said: "You all know that the acquisition of Koch Industries will be placed under your Venus Energy to expand the industrial chain. During this time, the Stark Group is also busy acquiring energy and power companies to promote new energy standards. Energy and power companies are asset-heavy, with tens of billions of dollars in capital at every turn. It would be strange to have no shortage of money! If it hadn't been for the fact that Stark Group's defense industry was sold off some time ago and made a lot of quick money, I would now I might be so poor that I need to borrow money from you."

Musk was ashamed to hear that, Bai Ye and Tony were talking about Koch Industries, energy and power companies, and tens of billions of dollars in assets. It really made him, a little Kalami, terrified. He knew that these things are where the real power of the United States lies. , is exclusive to old money people...

After chatting with Bai Ye and Tony for a while, Musk left with his girlfriend Amber Heard. After all, he came to New York specifically to catch up with Bai Ye and Tony, and he also had his own business tasks.

"How is the research on Extremis virus version 2.0 and Extremis virus 3.0 version?"

Bai Ye took a sip of wine and asked again.

"It's still early!" Tony said angrily: "Can you please ask me once in a few days, and again in a few days? Scientific research is not a child's play, it is not a matter of success if you say it will be successful. Yes, you need to be patient! If I get upset by you, I will see when your research can be completed."

"Hehe." Bai Ye smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm worried about you. Your palladium poisoning hasn't gotten better yet!"

"Then thank you." Tony gave Bai Ye a look to let him understand: "In short, for the sake of my own life, I will not slack off in this regard!"

"What about the hearings? What's going on now?" Bai Ye said, "I don't pay much attention to what's happening on Capitol Hill and the White House."

"You have taken down the Koch family among them. What else can you do?" Tony chuckled and said, "I guess there will still be hearings, but they are just a formality. Who is not afraid of being like you?" How to deal with the Koch family."

"You cherish your life when you do big things, but you forget your life when you see small profits, tsk tsk." Bai Ye clicked his tongue: "These are the American plutocrats!"

…

There is no suspense about Venus Energy's takeover of Koch Industries. Koch Industries is too huge. Even if it takes control, it would be an extremely huge workload to straighten it out. Felicia alone People are simply too busy. During this period of time, Andy gave up his job in the Mars military industry and left it to Betty. He came to Venus Energy Company to help Felicia carry out the structural reform of Koch Industries and integrate Koch. Industry is forcibly included in the Venusian energy system.

For example, Koch Industries is the sixth largest electricity supplier in the United States, with power supply business covering all fifty states in the United States. In the past, the power generation methods were basically natural gas, coal and other fossil energy power generation, hydropower generation, photovoltaic power generation, and nuclear power. Now Most of the highly polluting and unscientific discharge methods have been bulldozed. From now on, all power generation will be done with the Ark reactor. This is ultra-low-priced electricity from cold nuclear fusion. Compared with this, even non-polluting photovoltaic power plants will be demolished. Most of it has been lost because the cost is too high. The cost of power generation is dozens of times that of the Ark reactor. That is backward production capacity and there is no need to exist.

The electric energy company that Stark Group is acquiring is basically the same as Venus Energy's transformation of Koch Industrial Power Company. If nothing unexpected happens, Venus Energy and Stark Group will be able to divide the American power market in two and unify it in the future. Jianghu.

At the same time, the company under Bai Ye officially established the Galaxy Group, with Andy as CEO, and reorganized the major companies. However, due to the existence of Koch Industries, a subsidiary of Venus Energy, it became too large and her job was Most of the focus is on helping Felicia control the energy of Venus.

Everything was done by the people below, and Bai Ye took it easy. Apart from keeping in touch with Julia Koch and Elizabeth Koch from time to time, he was also harassing the female directors of his major companies. .

Such as Wendy.

Tianmei Studio's "League of Legends" is in open beta. Although it is not as Bai Ye imagined. It kills everyone as soon as it comes on the scene, rubs "World of Warcraft" on the ground and becomes the world's top player. However, it is still in a good situation and is exerting its strength. It’s very fierce. The number of game users has been surging, and the revenue has also increased sharply. Major venture capital has raised the valuation of Tianmei Studio, reaching 2 billion US dollars. They believe that "League of Legends" has the potential to become a phenomenon-level game. potential, so the valuation of Tianmei Studio doubled all of a sudden, and with the later development of "League of Legends", the valuation is still being adjusted.

I had nothing to do during the night, so I took Wendy to watch the NBA.

It's Lakers versus Cavaliers.

That is Kobe VS James.

"Didn't you say before that watching Kobe Bryant's game once was enough? Do you want to watch Beckham play in the Champions League in the future?" Bai Ye asked doubtfully: "Why do you want to watch Kobe Bryant again now?"

"It's different this time!" Wendy snorted softly and said, "I saw in the circle of friends that my former investment colleague at Lofis, my mortal enemy Na Lan, was going to New York with her boyfriend. Come to watch the NBA game! She used to show off like this in front of me, with all kinds of cocktail parties and all kinds of high-end activities. I felt very unhappy in my heart. She just has a better family background than me, and everything in her family is in the system. He is a big shot and has found a boyfriend who is also the only son of the chairman of a big company. Now I just want to show Nalan that I seized the opportunity and became stronger than her."

"Women have such a boring mentality of comparison."

Bai Ye muttered.

But he didn't refuse to go with Wendy to show off and slap Nalan in the face. How many people in this life are not ordinary people?

There is a saying that goes well, if wealth does not return to its hometown, it is like walking in brocade at night.

Wendy's mentality is probably the same as that of the ancients.

Outside the arena, Bai Ye saw the blue one that Wendy often talked about. Well, yes, that was Yang Tianbao.

As for Na Lan’s boyfriend... tsk tsk.

She really has a good eye for finding a boyfriend.

"Nalan, long time no see!" Wendy went up to hug Nalan with an exaggerated expression: "It's almost half a year ago, right? It feels like a lifetime ago!"

"It's been a long time. Wendy, you are becoming more and more mature." Na Lan smiled and hugged Wendy, and said, "I heard that you have done a good job during this period. You have built a one-man business." Beast Games Company is awesome! I can't compare to you."

"That Lan, you are too humble." Wendy smiled: "While I am not investing in Lofis, I heard that you have invested in two more quasi-unicorns? You are so awesome, I can't compare to you. , if I hadn't changed the track and avoided you, otherwise, I would have been shot to death by you right now."

Nalan: "Haha, isn't that too exaggerated?"

Then, Wendy and Nalan introduced their boyfriends.

"Hello."

Nalan's boyfriend Jincheng seemed to be sleep deprived and reluctantly nodded to Bai Ye. He was the heir to a large company valued at tens of billions of soft sister coins. If it weren't for Nalan, he wouldn't be too lazy to get involved in such nonsense. , do you really think anyone can talk to him?

"Hello."

Bai Ye smiled and nodded slightly.

After introductions were made, both parties took the VIP channel and headed into the arena.

on the way.

Bai Ye asked: "Wendy, neither of them seem to know who I am? Didn't you tell them?"

Wendy: "Of course not. If I tell them everything, what's the surprise? Then Lan probably knows that you are rich through my circle of friends. As for your true identity, I probably don't know. Jincheng is a Ignorant rich man, Nalan has never been to the United States to study... After all, you are not world-famous like Tony Stark. Your fame is only spread among the upper class circles in the United States. Hehe, let me Think about it carefully, how can I repay all the oppression Na Lan has given me over the years? Bai Ye, please help me think about how to deal with her! It is best to make her miserable and desperate, kneeling and begging me for mercy! "

Bai Ye thought for a while and said, "Then I can help you make that blue belly bigger, okay?"
