Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Yingdie set off overnight.

Before leaving, she repeatedly told Meng Chuan not to leave the school until she returned.

After all, her mission was to protect Meng Chuan's safety.

Although she obeyed orders to go to England, she was still worried about Meng Chuan's safety.

Because she knew very well how important Meng Chuan's life was to her, now that he had the ring.

After Yingdie left, Meng Chuan lay on his bed in the dormitory. It was already midnight.

However, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Yingdie's few words had a profound impact on him.

First, there's that thumb ring.

It can actually command millions of people!

Meng Chuan always thought that Fifth Master was just a small-time gang leader in Shanghai.

However, Yingdie once mentioned that most of the power behind Fifth Master was overseas.

In other words, these millions of people could be spread all over the world.

What kind of organization can have such a huge influence?

"By the way, Alice must know something."

Meng Chuan suddenly thought of her.

Alice calls Fifth Master "Fifth Uncle".

This is the only person Meng Chuan has known since he met Fifth Master who doesn't address him as "Fifth Master".

Moreover, Fifth Master also mentioned that he had a past relationship with Alice's father.

Therefore, Alice must know Fifth Master.

And Alice must have known the symbolic meaning of this ring.

Back at Warburg Manor, Alice had warned him: Don't show this ring to anyone easily.

At the time, Meng Chuan didn't understand what she meant, but now, looking back, she clearly knew something.

Furthermore, Alice once said that her union with Meng Chuan was the most suitable, as they could complement each other perfectly.

At the time, Meng Chuan couldn't understand it.

In retrospect, what she meant by "mutual success" may have had nothing to do with her own abilities, but rather with this thumb ring.

"have you slept?"

Meng Chuan took out his phone and sent a message to Alice.

The only way to find out the answer is to ask Alice yourself.

"Sleep."

Alice replied almost instantly.

But from those two words, Meng Chuan could sense her dissatisfaction.

In fact, Meng Chuan was right.

Since Meng Chuan returned from England, he has either spent his time studying in the library or locked himself in his dormitory to trade stocks.

He barely paid any attention to Alice.

Sometimes, even when Alice sends him a message, Meng Chuan almost never replies.

Huo Wanxi also frequently sent messages to Meng Chuan, but Meng Chuan ignored them as well.

In Meng Chuan's view, a good man should not give any woman room for fantasy.

He did it.

He just couldn't understand why a "good man" like himself was never understood by women.

Does he have to be a scumbag to satisfy them?

Ah, life! The feeling of not being understood is as lonely as snow.

"I have some questions I'd like to ask you."

Undeterred, Meng Chuan sent another message.

"No time."

It still boils down to two words: crisp and efficient.

Meng Chuan paused for a few seconds, then reluctantly put down his phone.

Forget it, I won't ask. Do you think I'd hang myself on your tree? I'll find out for myself later.

Meng Chuan is actually a proud and arrogant person at heart.

He never wanted to fawn over anyone who was cold to him... except for Liu Qian.

However, just as Meng Chuan was getting ready to go to sleep, his phone suddenly rang.

Meng Chuan sat up abruptly, secretly delighted.

I knew it! Alice was just putting on airs. Every time I need her, she's always there, all eager to help.

Women! Hmph! Nothing special.

However, when Meng Chuan picked up his phone, he was stunned—the caller ID did not show Alice.

"Elon Ma? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night?"

Meng Chuan frowned and asked in broken English.

He really didn't expect it to be Elon Marsh calling. Luckily, he wasn't asleep yet, or he would have given him a good scolding.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Mr. Meng Chuan, I forgot about the time difference."

Across the ocean, Elon Ma grabbed his messy hair, his voice full of apology.

Elonma was not in good condition at this time.

Since returning from England, he has been living and working at the company, working almost day and night.

Because his rocket company was facing a life-or-death situation.

At that moment, it was noon on the other side of the ocean, and he did not intentionally disturb Meng Chuan at this time.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Meng Chuan asked patiently.

He's destined to be the world's richest man, even if that title is only nominal.

In reality, there are many people who are richer and more powerful than him, such as the reclusive tycoon Ollie.

On the surface, Ollie is just a social idler, but in reality, he has connections and influence.

Even so, Elon Ma is still a remarkable person.

"My rocket company is having its final test launch next week. If it fails, the company will go bankrupt. You said before that if we couldn't get investment, we'd come to you. Is that true?"

Elonma's voice trembled slightly, clearly indicating that he had reached a dead end.

He really can't attract investment.

Rocketry has always been a national-level project, and no private enterprise has ever dared to play such a high-risk game.

Almost no one or any investors had faith in him; everyone thought he was doomed to fail.

If it's a game destined to fail, who would be willing to invest?

This is also why Elon Ma's hair has almost turned white from staying up so long.

However, Meng Chuan was well-versed in history.

He knew that Elonma's test shot would be a great success.

It was this success that gave capital hope.

From then on, Elon Ma's life was like a dream come true, and all kinds of capital regarded him as a hot commodity.

It was from this point that he uttered that famous quote:

Talk to me about money, talk to me about power, I can't be bothered with you...

But at this point, Elonma had no other choice.

He was afraid of failure, afraid that he couldn't create a miracle.

These days, Meng Chuan's words to him in England keep replaying in his mind: If you can't get investment, you can come to me.

In a state of anxiety and uncertainty, he inexplicably dialed Meng Chuan's number.

"Why not real? I can give you any amount of money you need."

Meng Chuan said magnanimously.

Actually, Meng Chuan originally said, "If you still can't secure investment by March, come to me."

Because Meng Chuan expected that he would be able to make a lot of money on the stock of Company 02 by then.

But his intervention changed history.

Once a person has money, they naturally have more confidence when they speak.

Meng Chuan has now secured his wealth and is now at the peak of his financial power.

“Mr. Meng Chuan, are you sure you're not lying to me? I need at least $20 billion. You really…”

Elon Ma was breathing rapidly, but he managed to suppress his excitement.

He feared that the greater his expectations, the greater his disappointment would be.

After all, Meng Chuan is still so young.

If he hadn't been desperate, he probably would never have dialed that number in his entire life.

"As far as I know, it's not just Rocket Company that needs money; Tesla needs money too."

Meng Chuan mentally estimated for a moment and said:

"How about this, Rocket Company, I'll invest $30 billion in you, and Tesla, I'll invest $20 billion. That's $50 billion in total. What do you think?"
