“It’s like this. My wife wants a star, but because the legitimate process takes too long, I want to buy her a satellite. Is it convenient for you to arrange for thi
Lu Ming asked tentatively.
“So Mr. Lu is already married? But I saw on the news that you’re still single, right? Your wife must not be an ordinary person, right? Which family’s missy is she? Or is she the boss of a company? I think it should be the former. I feel that Mr. Lu likes to rely on himself.
Speaking of which, have you held a wedding? If not, can you send me an invitation? I’m quite interested in meeting you. Perhaps we can reach an agreement? Oh right, I almost forgot to introduce myself. I’m Brown Wain from the Brown Corporation.”
Why does the topic change every time? Lu Ming thought.
He rubbed his temples. He had heard of the Brown family. They were a prestigious family overseas. Most of the businesses under their names were in the fashion design and entertainment industry. He heard that they had started developing their businesses on the Internet.
“My wife is the person in charge of Jingchen Company. The wedding will be held in a month. I’ll send you an invitation, so…”
“Oh! My god! So your wife is Qianjing’s daughter?! I’ve met Qianjing a few times before. She’s a charming Asian woman and very interesting to talk to. She attracted my attention back then! Unfortunately, she’s not interested in me at all.”
He was here to buy artificial satellites, not to listen to people talk about their lives.
Before Lu Ming could say anything, Brown continued, “Since you know Qianjing, I’ll help you ask the professor if he’s willing to sell you a satellite. I happen to be at the research institute.”
So he had said a lot just now to make me retreat, Lu Ming thought.
He sighed inwardly. This showed the benefits of having connections. However, it was normal. After all, He Xiaopeng was not his boss. Brown Wain was indeed a standard businessman.
Immediately after, a voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Dr. Johnson, the boss of Star Creation wants to buy a satellite. Are you willing to talk to him?”
“How many times has it been this month? There are so many people queuing up to buy! I don’t lack buyers! Does he really think this is a wholesale mall? How could our team’s hard work be sold to others so easily? Hurry up and make him give up!”
“Are you really not going to reconsider? This is his gift to his wife
“Idon’t care who he’s giving it to! I don’t have any spare artificial satellites to sell. Let’s leave it at that. Don’t disturb me during this perio
It seemed that he had failed.
Brown moved closer to the phone and said, “That’s it. I’m sorry I can’t help you. Perhaps there have been too many people recently, so the professor is a little irritable.”
“Alright, I understand. Thank you for your help. I’ll get someone to give you the invitation.”
After a few pleasantries, the call ended. Lu Ming spun his fountain pen unconsciously. Is there anyone important who can establish ties with that place?he wondered.
He suddenly thought of a good candidate!
He immediately called the other party and said, “Hello, Mr. Musk. Are you free now? I want to ask you a favor.”
“If Ican help.”
“Twant to buy a satellite for my wife as a wedding gift. I looked for Dr. Johnson just now, but he turned down my request. Can you help me find a way? The price doesn’t matter. I can afford it no matter how high it is.”
Musk, who had returned to his country, paused for a few seconds before saying, “I happen to know Dr. Johnson, and we have a good relationship. I’ll help you talk to him now. Don’t worry, leave this to me.”
He did not mind doing Lu Ming a favor just like that. In any case, he had a bright future ahead of him. He might even be able to help him.
After hanging up, he looked at his secretary and said, “Get the car ready. I want to go to Dr. Johnson’s research institute!”
At the research institute.
‘When someone reminded Dr. Johnson that another guest was coming, he walked into the reception room impatiently. After seeing who it was, his brows relaxed. “Mr. Musk, why are you here?”
“Tm looking for you.”
The two of them hugged for a few seconds before sitting on the sofa.
Dr. Johnson relaxed and said, “Are you looking for me to ask about the rocket? Or about the materials? I heard you’ve made some progress recently?”
Their relationship was like that of a teacher and a friend. If Musk encountered any problems, they would try to solve them together. So over time, the two of them got along better and better.
“That was because I went to China and made a new friend. His idea is very novel to me. It’s Lu Ming Corporation, the company that reached an agreement with me a while ago.”
Musk naturally followed the topic.
Johnson nodded thoughtfully and smiled. “Looks like he’s a genius too. If I can meet him, I might be able to make some progress in my research. Are you interested in introducing him to me?”
“Didn’t he just come to look for you?”
Musk asked curiously, “The one who wanted to buy a satellite for his wife. Didn’t you know?”
22?
“But Brown said he’s the boss of Star Creation?”
The two of them looked at each other.
Musk didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he explained, “You didn’t see the recent news, right? Star Creation has been integrated into Lu Ming Corporation. Brown said this because he thinks Star Creation is more famous, right?”
Star Creation is now Lu Ming Corporation’s property?
Only then did Johnson realize what was going on. He said, “So you came to me to help him do this?”
“My relationship with him is not bad. We plan to build a rocket together. The general idea is almost there.”
Musk knew that the other party was a research fan who admired talented young people. He did not believe that Johnson would disagree.
‘As expected, Johnson said in surprise, “Really? You didn’t shelve it because you encountered a bottleneck? I thought you wouldn’t pick it up again in your lifetime!”
“Because I think Lu Ming is a real genius! Be it his outlook or knowledge, they surprise me!”
Hearing his praise, Johnson pondered for a moment and said, “I really give it to you. What else can I do? For your sake, I’ll sell him a satellite! But you have to introduce him to me later. How about that?”
“No problem!”
