Chapter 2090 - 2090:

Mark was, of course, the founder of Tesla electric cars, constantly devoted to launching Star Chain satellites, to artificial intelligence and space development, the richest man in the United States.

When the U.S. presidential election was going on, he firmly stood on Plant's side, even used cash to buy votes, helping the old guy into office.

After he got into office, or rather after he succeeded, Plant would definitely thank him, like the government placing orders with his companies, or letting him come out and take some official post.

Indeed, Mark kept blasting the U.S. government for being bloated, saying they should lay people off and set up some kind of government efficiency department or whatever.

This actually had a certain market within Plant's political philosophy.

The two of them teaming up really did pull off a success.

Anyway, the pair of them, before and after the election, before and after victory, kept flirting with each other on Twitter, doing the straight-man-and-funny-man routine, which was quite eye‑catching.

After all, Mark had once been the world's richest man; the influence of his tweets was still pretty huge.

Especially when he once told the Great East Pot to treat its own people well—those words were really great at setting the tone.

Sometimes, you might not care about a rich man's character, but you have to care about his influence. Any of his words or actions can trigger a massive chain reaction.

But you can't deny that Mark's influence and status in the tech world are enormous.

This guy wanting to be an official is actually quite possible.

But this guy has a dream—and his dream really is the sea of stars!

Tesla, as one of the world's top electric car developers, really does have its unique strengths.

But you know what?

Tesla is just a side product of Mark's company; his main business is still: Star Chain and space products!

Liu Zhizhong had always been thinking about Mark, analyzing Mark, and at the same time having his think tank study this man and study the possibility of working with him.

Right on the eve of Plant's election victory, Liu Zhizhong's plan on his side had already taken shape, so he sent Mark an email.

Of course, it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

However, after Liu Zhizhong rolled out his global layout and after Plant called him, Liu Zhizhong really did receive Mark's reply.

As expected, Mark wasn't a man of many words, but his thinking was very clear, so his way of speaking was very direct.

His reply was: I will arrange a trip to the Wale Republic as soon as possible to meet in person with Mr. Chi Zhongshui and his colleagues about the relevant matters!

Just that simple?

Yes!

Not a shred of polite fluff!

Liu Zhizhong was very satisfied!

Dealing with someone like this is actually as simple as it gets.

At the same time, Mark also attached a file to the email, listing the conditions he was putting on the table.

For the Wale Republic, none of these conditions were a big deal.

In other words, as long as Mark came for a visit to the Wale Republic, the two sides were certain to reach an agreement!

So, Liu Zhizhong replied to Mark and confirmed the time of his trip to Valle.

At the same time, Liu Zhizhong also had to arrange related matters and personally host Mark's arrival—this was a must.

Thus, three days later, an event that shook the whole world took place.

When Mark was on his private jet, he posted a tweet, very simple: Hello, Valle!

Just that simple!

The attached photo showed him on his private jet, by the window, with the landmark building of the Wale Republic outside—the new International Finance Tower by the Kachin River.

He really isn't a complicated person!

And less than five minutes after the tweet went out, he was already preparing to land at Kachin International Airport.

In that brief window, Tesla's stock price shot up!

Capital's sense of smell is truly sharp.

The boss of a global leading electric car company went to Valle, went to Valle, the new global capital highland!

So how could Tesla's stock not surge?

This one simple tweet racked up a hundred million likes and about thirty million retweets—scary, right?

Meanwhile, the Valle stock market also responded enthusiastically; military-industrial stocks related to automobiles and aerospace technology were rocketing upward, hitting new highs again.

Right at this moment, Plant also responded enthusiastically, posting a very telling tweet, also very simple, and every single word had an exclamation mark!

"Oh! My lovely betrayer! Are you really this straightforward?!"

That was Plant's entire tweet, simple enough, right?

But you can tell the old man's emotions weren't exactly stable!

Mark didn't respond to him—this was the first time he didn't reply or even give him a like.

Because by then, Mark was already wearing his usual jacket and baseball cap, looking completely laid‑back as he walked down from his private jet.

Greeting him there was no red carpet, just Liu Zhizhong and the accompanying staff, plus the necessary security and press corps.

And at this moment, the Valle Presidential Mansion's live‑streaming team had already started a global live broadcast!

The heat on that stream shot up in a whoosh; the number of online viewers hit ten million in just a few seconds.

Watching the stream came with tipping too—that is, sending virtual gifts.

Anyway, the Valle Presidential Mansion's live‑streaming team was outsourced; the contractor was a company team under Wada Capital, whose big boss behind the scenes was Yang Bingbing, with the Zheng Family as beneficiaries!

After deducting necessary operating costs and profit‑sharing, all the remaining revenue from live‑stream virtual gifts was, in the name of the Wale Republic, donated to the Valle national welfare account, to the international Red Cross, and to the Kekistan War Women‑Children‑Soldiers Relief Fund.

So you see, under capital operations there's profit to be made, and there's humanitarian good to be done—why not?

Isn't the prosperity of the Wale Republic justified?

Isn't its status as a new high ground in the global economy and culture justified?

At this moment, what the entire world was watching was: Mark, this young business titan, meeting Liu Zhizhong, this young political big shot!

Too hype!

Mark, casual yet graceful, tall and straight, very easy‑going.

Liu Zhizhong, calm and refined, with eyes shining with the light of wisdom. That textbook‑standard physique, fit and masculine.

Liu Zhizhong was two or three centimeters shorter than Mark, but his build was even better.

In the hearts of women worldwide, Liu Zhizhong's physique could probably only be compared to Arnie back in the day, right? Under that Valle‑style national suit, the cut of that body was simply jaw‑dropping!

The two shook hands, hugged—what a combined aura, enough to send countless people into a trance!

Some women watching the stream went crazy, filling the screen with words in all sorts of languages—husband, darling, male god, my God—heat off the charts.

But women were watching the here and now, while men were watching the future. Leaders of all major countries around the world put down what they were doing and quickly tuned in and focused on this meeting between young titans from different fields!

When it comes to surfing hot topics and traffic, both Mark and Liu Zhizhong are masters…
