Global Treasure Hunting: From Penniless to Billionaire

Phils laughed and said: "Don't be nervous, it's useless to say anything after the matter has come to this point, it's true to think about how to deal with it."

Musk snorted, sat across from him, leaned heavily on the back of the chair and said, "Then tell me, what's going on?"

Phils took a sip of his cigar, and after getting intoxicated for a while, he said, "Think about it, what happened when the Starlink satellite lost contact, the whole world thinks about it."

Musk's mind turned, and soon he thought of something, and he said with an uncertain tone: "Yanhuang returned to Earth?"

Chapter 856 Shocking and inexplicable

Musk immediately thought of a possibility, and asked excitedly: "Is the loss of contact with the Starlink satellite related to the return of the Yanhuang to Earth?"

He stood up again, looked at Lieutenant General Firth with a calm expression, and said, "The Starlink satellites began to lose contact at around [-]:[-] central time this morning. By around [-]:[-], Yanhuang successfully returned."

His eyes became more and more certain: "In other words, during the period when Yanhuang was circling in low earth orbit, it was he who was collecting our Starlink satellites!!!"

Musk is a smart man, otherwise it would not be his turn to be the richest man in the world. The speculation he said is not far from the truth.

Lieutenant General Firth snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Bingo, you guessed the right direction."

He took another sip of the Castro Cuban cigar and said, "Think about the list of members on the Yanhuang!"

This Musk has really paid attention to it. For him who also has great ambitions for the aerospace industry, everything about Yanhuang is worthy of attention.

But he still couldn't figure out what the crew of the Yanhuang had to do with the loss of contact with his own Starlink satellite.

Firth looked at his pensive look, put down the cigar he couldn't put it down, and said, "Last month, Joseph Bilano used the Starlink satellite to monitor a new farm in Mauritania."

"There is one last thing you may not know. He used the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier formation and nearly a hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles..."

These are actually top-secret files of the Pentagon, but Phils explained it thoroughly to Musk indifferently.

"He used such a lot of power just to kill a person, but in the end this person was still intact to participate in the Yanhuang mission to the moon..."

Musk now understood who he was talking about. He opened his mouth wide to express his shock, and said inexplicably: "An aircraft carrier formation, with nearly a hundred rounds of Tomahawk cruise missiles, can't kill a single person?"

"The richest man in China, surnamed Zhao, is so powerful?"

Phils laughed and said, "The richest man in China?"

"You underestimate him too..."

Musk: "How?"

Fiers still smiled and said, "That person originally had a cash deposit of 300 billion yuan in a Swiss bank. Although it was transferred away later, it was only a matter of last year."

"Beginning this year, he asked people to register a Coinbase account, and basically shipped a large number of them before the trading day. Maybe you bought a lot of bitcoins you invested in a while ago from him."

"At a high level, even more than 7 US dollars, accepted by you, he made profits from the Bitcoin platform, exceeding 1000 billion US dollars in cash."

"So I want to ask you, the titular richest man in the world, do you have as much cash as him?"

Musk said angrily: "Naturally, there is no such thing. Who would deposit so much cash in the bank these days, wouldn't it be good to take it out and make some investments?"

"If I have so much cash flow when I'm on the horse, do I still need to borrow money when I buy Twitter?"

Lieutenant General Firth took a puff on his cigar again, and said in a puffy voice: "What you said just now subconsciously means that you have more assets than him, right..."

Musk drooped his shoulders and said, "I didn't say that."

Phils was too lazy to argue with him on this, but continued to analyze Zhao An's assets and said: "This Zhao An now owns 35 mines all over the world,"

"In addition, he owns a huge company in Jiangcheng. Wall Street once valued his company. Once it goes public, the value of Zhao Mining under him will be around US$580 billion. He owns more than 90.00% of the shares."

"This is just on the surface..."

Musk was silent, as if listening attentively.

Phils smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, and continued: "In addition, he also owns 20.00% of the shares in Huaxia's Northwest Electric Power Company."

"Northwest Power Company owns 2 nuclear fusion power plants in operation, and 5000 fusion power plants under construction. In addition to their domestic ones, there are also one in France, one in the United Kingdom, and one in Algeria. Once these power plants are completed, the The value of Northwest Power will approach the $[-] billion mark."

"Now you still think that you have more assets than him?"

Musk's face became extremely ugly, and he murmured: "I also heard that the group of people in California are also arguing to apply for the establishment of a fusion power station in California. At that time, I thought it was a good thing."

Phils laughed and said, "This is a good thing in the first place. Once the fusion power station in California starts construction, your Tesla stock will definitely soar, which shows that your new energy strategy is correct."

Then he added: "Although your assets will be further separated from him by then."

However, Musk didn't worry about who is the world's richest man, but instead asked: "Then the loss of our Starlink satellite has something to do with this Zhao An?"

"Probably right..."

Lieutenant General Firth said frankly: "The Pentagon did receive your request for help in the morning, but at that time they had no good way to deal with it, and they could only watch the satellite lose contact. I will tell you the reason why."

What's the use of knowing the cause, I mean how to remedy...

Musk complained in his heart and asked: "Then we will just watch this bad ending, will we still launch satellites in the future?"

Phils said: "That person hates your Starlink satellite to the core, let him go bankrupt in the future Starlink project..."

As if struck by lightning, Musk froze on the spot and couldn't say a word.

The star chain project he pinned on his huge ambitions, the star chain project he pinned on to become the king of the world, was rejected like this?

"How is it possible, I will not give up the Starlink project, I will never give up!"

Musk's face twisted, his veins protruded and he roared at Phils: "With his surname Zhao, can he stop the Starlink project we jointly built?"

"Why???"

Firth's expression was also a bit depressed, and he said, "This is not a request, but an order for you."

"Musk, my old friend, if you hadn't given me a lot of money, I wouldn't have told you this news."

Musk also realized the difference in identity between himself and the other party, and said with a slightly sullen expression: "What news?"

Lieutenant General Phils said lightly: "The aircraft carrier formation headed by the Carl Vinson that participated in the attack on him some time ago, two aircraft carriers, more than a dozen frigates, and destroyers, all engines were damaged and stopped in the Atlantic Ocean."

"In the end, these aircraft carriers and ships, together with the aircraft and soldiers in the formation, all sank in the Atlantic Ocean..."

Chapter 857

Phils said with a sinking face: "At that time, two aircraft carriers in the aircraft carrier formation, several guided missile frigates and destroyers, more than 100 aircraft of various types, and more than 1 officers and soldiers all sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The naval base can't even do a rescue!"

Musk had an unbelievable look on his face, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

After a long time, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Why hasn't any news been released on such a big matter?"

"Not right!"

Musk seems to have thought of something: "It was revealed on the oil pipe some time ago that the mysterious coordinates on the Atlantic Ocean may be where the Carl Vinson and the others are located."

Lieutenant General Firth sneered and said: "You are not slow, of course all of this is true, but the military forcibly suppressed the matter, I don't know more reasons, but I know one thing The thing is that the people above are also afraid of death..."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed upward.

"I have another question!"

Musk said again.

"Tell me, I will try my best to tell you what I know, and please forgive me if I can't." Phils said.

Musk sat down again and asked: "Even if the aircraft carrier loses power and cannot move, there are no restrictions on aircraft, right? Why didn't aircraft and aviation escape from the scene?"

Phils looked bitter: "You think they don't want to?"

"The situation at that time was that almost all the officers and soldiers on the two aircraft carriers were infected with anthrax virus from the military laboratory, and the medical team who rescued them plunged into the sea directly."

"When the Carl Vinson was about to sink, some aviation personnel were also preparing to fly the F35 to take off and escape. Guess what happened?"

"How could I guess..." Musk looked innocent as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights.

Phils: "Nearly all the planes on the ship have no fuel..."

"Even the kayaks they put down when they escaped were all leaking..."

Musk couldn't help shivering, and got goosebumps all over his body: "That Zhao guy is so strong?"

Phils said: "I heard them describe that it may be stronger than you imagined, so let me tell you, your Starlink project, stop here, you are still alive now, maybe the other party didn't take you Looking at it, killing you is no burden for him at all, and it doesn't take much effort."

Having said so much, Lieutenant General Firth actually has one meaning, the opponent is very powerful, you can't afford it, and I can't afford it, so let's forget about it.

You are not afraid of death, I am still afraid of death...

Musk punched Phils' desk with a fist, causing all the documents on it to bounce, but Phils said calmly, "That's it!"

"No, I'm not reconciled, I spent so much money, so much energy..."

Musk said with a look of unwillingness.

Firth snorted coldly and said, "Don't be stupid, and don't even think about hanging yourself from a tree. Right now, the president, the Pentagon, and the CIA are all on the same page... that's to compromise with each other. "

"What's the use of being unwilling?"

He stood up, walked around the table and walked in front of Musk and said: "Everyone is not reconciled, but the fact is that no matter how many satellites you launch, the other party will lose contact with you again."

"You have also seen the super performance of the Yanhuang..."

Among other things, Yanhuang can continuously output more than Mach 12 horsepower, and it only takes more than an hour to fly directly to the moon. The performance is enough to make them far behind.

"Then we'll..."

Musk said excitedly and inexplicably: "Then we just watch them catch up with us in the aerospace field, and leave us far behind."

"Fils, my old friend, you know that our future lies in space. In the vast universe, once we fall behind, it's not as simple as being beaten."

Phils nodded and said: "I know, to tell you the truth, Congress has submitted a stimulus bill, which is expected to provide NASA and your space exploration company with $1000 billion in funding for your space exploration. Explore business."

"If you pass, you will get the greatest opportunity and room for development."

"1000!?!"

None of the news Musk received today was simple, and all of them were so startled that he didn't let him have a moment to breathe.

"Can Congress pass such a big deal?"

Phils laughed and said: "1000 billion is difficult, but 500 billion to 700 billion is very possible, and it is in batches."

"We have to fight this space race started by the opponent. Fortunately, as long as it is within the scope of fair competition, the opponent will be more disciplined."

Musk closed his eyes and thought about the gains and losses, and finally said: "I hope so..."

......

Zhao An had a good night's rest in Cuiping Villa, and sent Li Zhiyuan to work at the police station the next morning. Xiao Yuqi asked her to be taken by Lu Xiufen at home, and rushed to the company herself.

After a while, Zhao An didn't come to the company for another month, but Zhao An went to his private museum immediately.

He wants to put some interesting rocks brought back from the moon into the collection.

A few pieces are the star core left by the asteroid fragments hitting the moon, and some are ores containing special materials, and these materials are really rare on the earth, and they are also considered rare species.

After putting away the things, Zhao An admired it for himself, and finally walked into the Zhao's Building.

"Ah, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao is good!"

"Hi Mr. Zhao!"

When the front desk lady saw Zhao An's figure, she was both surprised and pleased.

Other people in the building who saw Zhao An also greeted him warmly.

Zhao An nodded slightly, as a response to them, took the special elevator to the top floor, and Zhao An walked into his office.

"Mr. Zhao, does Zhao always need tea or coffee?"

Secretary Hu Zhiyan arrived immediately and greeted him with a smile.

Although I haven't been here for a long time, the office is still clean and spotless.

It's better to go back to the company, everyone is turning around...

Zhao An felt emotional in his heart, and said: "Tea bar, just the ancient tree tea newly produced in Chashan this year!"

Hu Zhiyan had just left, and Zhao An had just sat down in his seat, when someone knocked on the office door again, Ai Qingrou was all smiles, and walked in with lotus steps.

"Welcome Mr. Zhao to return from Quest..."

Chapter 858 Private Brand

Zhao An heard the meaning of her words.
