It turned out to be that lunatic.

Elon Musk is quite famous among many entrepreneurs in the United States.

First, he was a billionaire, but after becoming a billionaire, Musk took the money and turned non-stop to his space dream—he wanted to turn humans into a “interstellar species.”

In order to travel around the universe at the lowest cost, Musk began looking for rockets all over the world.

The price charged in Europe was too high, so he came to Mauritius, where there was an intercontinental missile priced at US$7 million each.

Musk planned to buy three coins with 21 million US dollars, but he did not expect that the Mauryans eventually went back on their word and said that they could only buy one for 21 million US dollars.

Musk left angrily, and then he came up with a surprising idea: he wanted to build his own rocket! This is Musk's third startup company SpaceX.

Many people in the United States call him a lunatic and believe that his ideas are simply unrealistic and that the cost of exploring space cannot be supported by a private company like his.

As for building rockets, it is even more impossible. That is a technology that only NASA has mastered.

Jax frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Let them wait in the reception room. The board of directors is discussing the specific agreement on development cooperation."

The company's business is developing so fast this time that many people are not prepared. Many measures can only be discussed on an ad hoc basis and decisions made urgently.

"The computer engineer named Hawke said he has a plan and wants you to take a look at it before deciding whether to meet with them." The employee handed a computer printout into Jax's hands.

Jax hurriedly scanned a few paragraphs, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Invite them to a separate reception room, I will be with you right away."

The employee quickly left the office.

Jax also tidied up his appearance a little, said hello to the board of directors, and left the computer...

Hawke didn't sleep all night. He felt very tired now, but he still managed to cheer up and sat quietly on the sofa, holding a cup of scalding coffee to refresh himself.

】

Although Elon Musk, who was sitting next to him, was a little sleepy, he still seemed very indifferent overall.

He was once the largest shareholder of Paypal, where Hawke worked, but in October last year, the company was acquired by eBay for US$1.5 billion.

And he also received US$165 million of it.

very few people know.

many years ago.

One summer afternoon in my youth.

He lay on his desk and had a wonderful dream, dreaming that he had become a billionaire. However, when he woke up and mentioned it to others, his classmates laughed at him and said that he was just dreaming.

In South Africa at that time, billionaires were simply out of reach.

However, at the age of thirty-one, he truly realized his childhood dream in the United States and became a veritable billionaire.

Personal assets have reached US$200 million.

Because he was familiar with Hawke, and after learning that he was planning to resign and start a business, Musk was very interested in his plan, so he came to the New York Internet Company with him.

By the way, let’s see if there is any opportunity to reach further cooperation with New York Internet Company.

After all, his Space X company also needs excellent software engineers to help design intelligent identification and guidance modules for their rockets.

The door to the reception room opened and a middle-aged man walked in.

The three people looked at each other, smiled at each other, and all stretched out their hands.

"Jax, general manager of New York Internet Technology Company!"

"Hoke, Computer Network Engineer."

"Musk, CEO of SpaceX."

After they shook hands and saw each other's appearance, they couldn't help but straighten their appearance, and then they laughed at the same time.

"It seems you guys were up all night too!" Jax sat down next to him.

He felt that sitting across from a customer would give him or her a hostile feeling, so when he was working in sales, he liked to sit next to customers.

Everyone is like like-minded friends, and the atmosphere is more harmonious.

"I originally wanted to go to bed early, but I didn't expect you to launch such an unprecedented network and make me addicted to it. I have no choice but to lose sleep!" Musk shrugged and complimented the other party gently.

one time.

Hawke sat aside and nodded, deeply convinced of Musk's words. He was aware of the opportunity, so he wrote a business plan overnight.

Jax laughed loudly: "I saw in the plan that you are going to rent our lines at normal prices, right? I don't understand, how will you make money like this?"

Hawke smiled slyly: "If you follow the previous business methods, you really can't make much money just by providing customers with email addresses. However, you launched this network and made all the impossible possible. It's us.

It is possible for a small individual company to make a lot of money!”

"Can you tell me more about your plan?" Jax also poured himself a cup of coffee, then crossed his legs and said as if chatting with him.

Hawke hesitated for a moment, but when he thought that his plan must get the support of the other party, he said: "Where I live, the residents have relatively high incomes. There are senior employees of large companies and some small and medium-sized companies.

Boss, I have a good relationship with them. Not only can I persuade them to join our network, but I can also provide them with some value-added services."

"Huh?" Jax nodded with interest and encouraged him to continue with his eyes.

"For example, make a commercial website for them..." Hawke smiled and said softly: "So, I would like to ask you to provide technical support, because what I want to build most is a comprehensive e-commerce platform.

"

"Although there are companies like eBay and Amazon in the United States, their business is limited to auctioning and selling online books. I think there are many categories that can be sold online..."

Jax stood up suddenly.

E-commerce platform!

This is a very profitable project!

This engineer actually has such a plan!

Jax himself plans to develop online business operations in the next step, and this e-commerce platform is the focus of his consideration.

Of course, if you want to build an e-commerce platform, you must solve the problem of electronic payment.

But he was not worried about this.

Because at this time, online finance in the United States was relatively mature, and there were many online payment platforms to choose from, such as 2checkout and Paypal.

They only need to send someone to discuss the access issue with the other company.

However, he didn't understand. Since the company's board of directors purchased so much advanced network software from Infinite Company, why didn't it also entrust the business development department to develop it?

He didn't know that Chen Weidong had proposed the concept of commercial development from the very beginning.

However, China's computer network process is still relatively backward.

In the past few years, most banks still used manual accounting methods. Even if you wanted to build an online payment platform, it was not an easy task.

Jingxi Company’s website before launch.

Infinite Company sent people to six or seven departments and communicated many times with the presidents of several major banks, but did not get any specific answers.

The other party is always polite, but when it comes to the core issues, he becomes pretentious.

It doesn’t mean that the risk is too great, it means that the network is not safe.

All in all, it's very troublesome.

Because for banks, third-party payment services will divert their users, and the high-profit and high-monopoly situation in the banking industry will also be broken.

So, how could they let go easily.

In the end, being forced to do nothing, Chen Weidong found Director Zhang and poured out his bitter experience, explaining the pros and cons of various aspects, even mentioning the financial crisis in Hong Kong a few years ago.

In the end, due to human feelings, after several studies and discussions, the person above made the decision to give it a try, but there were still many restrictions.

For example, the amount of a single transaction is limited to 200 yuan.

But in the United States, such restrictions do not exist at all. They already have a complete credit system and electronic payment methods, both in terms of hardware and software, are already mature.
