Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

"On what grounds did he dismiss me?"

Elon Ma found this completely unacceptable.

Because he founded the rocket company.

Although it was thanks to Meng Chuan that his several companies were able to develop rapidly.

It can be said that Meng Chuan was his mentor.

He was even amazed by some of Meng Chuan's ideas.

She has always regarded Meng Chuan as a kindred spirit.

That is why he is now increasingly unable to accept the fact that he has been dismissed by Meng Chuan.

"Based on his 70% shareholding, Article 12 of the company's articles of association, and a resolution signed by most of the senior management."

The person in charge of the handover stated in a businesslike manner:

"Mr. Elon Ma, please sign here and pack your personal belongings as soon as possible! Make room for the chairman's office."

"According to President Meng, you can still become a shareholder of the company, but you cannot participate in management."

"Or if you want to withdraw your investment, Mr. Meng is willing to buy back your shares at a price 30% higher than the market price."

Meng Chuan is not short of money.

Elon Ma cannot satisfy Meng Chuan, so Meng Chuan will definitely dismiss him.

However, Meng Chuan did not go too far.

Elon Ma was given two paths.

They can either remain shareholders, but only as phantom shares and not participate in decision-making.

Alternatively, he could withdraw his investment directly, and Meng Chuan would not lose his share of the compensation.

After all, Elon Ma has certainly put in a lot of hard work over the years, if not some great achievement.

Elon Ma slumped in his chair, watching the sky outside the window gradually darken.

Only then did I belatedly recall Meng Chuan's words from last night: "Don't disappoint me."

He originally thought he was betting on the future of a "space king".

But he didn't expect that Meng Chuan wouldn't give him a chance to "turn back after losing the gamble".

They didn't even give him a chance to talk to Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan has now blocked him.

At that moment, Meng Chuan was watching the distraught Elon Ma through the company's surveillance video.

Elon Ma is still considered decent.

He didn't make a scene as Meng Chuan had expected.

However, he did not sign it.

He simply took the recall warrant, turned around, and left.

Meng Chuan didn't care what Elon Ma thought or did.

As soon as Elon Ma left the company, someone immediately reported to Meng Chuan:

"President Meng, all departments have completed the handover. The technical team says that as long as we adjust and proceed according to your plan, the manned Mars mission next month can proceed as scheduled."

Meng Chuan nodded and hung up the phone.

Actually, Meng Chuan wasn't feeling too good either.

Although Elon Ma's betrayal was not a significant loss, it at most meant he lost a "troublesome executor".

However, Meng Chuan and Elon Ma still had some connection.

He had done a lot for Meng Chuan in the past.

The two have now completely broken up.

It's not that Meng Chuan was heartless.

He's in his early thirties now; his life shouldn't just fade into obscurity.

Mars will be the starting point of his next journey.

But from today onwards, he will be the only one walking this road.

"Come on! The first person to set foot on Mars is destined to be etched in history, and I, who drove all of this, should also stand at the highest position."

Meng Chuan murmured to himself.

At this moment, Meng Chuan's resolve became even stronger.

Meng Chuan took out his phone and dialed Ying Die's number:

"Shadow Butterfly, you're going to the US tonight. From now on, you'll be the executive director of the rocket company. Also, send word that there will be a technical tackling meeting tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."

Meng Chuan's voice was devoid of any anger, only filled with certainty:

"Tell everyone, the Mars project waits for no one."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan walked to the window and looked up at the night sky.

Although he couldn't see Mars, he could almost picture what the red planet looked like.

There is no noisy politics there, no complicated interpersonal relationships.

There is only endless unknown and vast space.

Perhaps, it is the true future headquarters of the Green Gang.

In the days that followed, Meng Chuan began preparations for the Mars mission.

However, the news of Monchuan taking over the rocket company was like a thunderbolt, once again igniting global public opinion.

This news dominated the front pages of all major media outlets.

The financial channel provides continuous analysis of the impact behind the equity change.

The science and technology forums are full of speculation about the future of the Mars mission.

After all, this rocket company is no ordinary enterprise.

It holds in its hand the key to humanity's journey into deep space.

Every little thing that happens affects the entire world.

The most bustling place is the United States.

On television, the "King of Knowledge" was spitting as he spoke to the camera, his finger almost poking the lens.

"Look at this! This is outright robbery! Why should an outsider take away the company that Mr. Elon Ma built with his wisdom and hard work?"

He slammed his fist on the table, his voice suddenly rising in pitch:

"Meng Chuan is a thief! He stole Elon Ma's achievements, stole American technology, and is stealing the future of all mankind! He is the enemy of humanity!"

It must be said that Trump is quite adept at manipulating people's hearts.

The words spoken have a tremendous impact on those who are unaware of the truth.

He then abruptly changed his tone, adopting a pained and remorseful expression, and made a promise to the voters in front of the camera:

"If you elect me, I will thoroughly investigate this matter on my first day in office! I will definitely help Mr. Elon Ma reclaim the glory that belongs to him—which is also the glory of our United States! We must never allow the dominance of space to fall into the hands of outsiders!"

These words were like water poured into a frying pan, causing a great uproar among many Americans.

Many people already harbored reservations about "foreigners controlling top rocket companies".

Even though I had previously praised Meng Chuan's Mars mission as "great".

But when terms like "geographical" and "national interest" were brought up, patriotic sentiment instantly overwhelmed the admiration for Meng Chuan.

Slogans supporting "King Trump" have been posted throughout the streets and alleys.

The topic of protecting space for the United States is trending on social media.

At the heart of all this, Meng Chuan was sitting at home, quietly watching news and videos on his phone.

Liu Qian stayed by Meng Chuan's side with some concern:

"Trump's campaign is very aggressive. The regulatory authorities in the United States have already sent an inquiry letter, saying that they want to 'examine the compliance of the equity change,' which is probably an attempt to put pressure on him."

Meng Chuan didn't look up, continuing to calmly look at the news on his phone, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"It seems it's time to teach Trump a lesson. Otherwise, he'll forget who I am as the class leader."

"Meng Chuan, that..."

Liu Qian wanted to give Meng Chuan some advice.

Liu Qian is already very satisfied with her current life.

If she could, she really wished that such days could last forever.

It would be best if Meng Chuan didn't get involved in those things.

She's really not interested in things like the Mars program or immigration.

He's known as the "King of Knowledge" after all.

The former US president has now returned in triumph.

His approval ratings soared.

There is a high probability that he will regain power.

After all, Old Bai is really too old.

He is almost incomparable to Trump.

If Meng Chuan and Trump were to go to war, it would be playing with fire.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing. You should go and get some rest!"

Meng Chuan patted Liu Qian's hand reassuringly.

Liu Qian hesitated for a moment, but eventually left Meng Chuan's study silently.
