Chapter 898 (1/2)
Elon Musk's flight landed at 2 a.m. Yanjing time at Yanjing capital airport.
This time, along with Elon Musk came to China, there was only one Chinese female translator. Besides, Elon Musk did not bring any PayPal staff.
A driver from Muye technology's team, a business man and a public relations man picked up at the airport and sent Elon Musk and his translator to his pre booked hotel.
When I settled down in the hotel room, it was a quarter past three in the morning. Because of sleeping on the plane, Elon Musk was full of energy. So he connected the hotel network with his laptop, and chatted with his partner Peter Thiel in Silicon Valley through YY video.
It was at 12:15 p.m. San Francisco time. Peter til didn't even have a meal, so he first called Elon Musk via video to communicate the details of the ”friendship meets porcelain”.
”After you got on the plane, I started to release the news to the outside world. This morning, there were many Internet media to release the news. Now the whole Silicon Valley knows that you have gone to China and that you are going to see Li Mu,” said Peter thier
Elon Musk asked him, ”did eBay contact you?”
”Not yet, I think they're paying close attention, but they shouldn't speak up until they have the exact information,” said Peter Thiel
Elon Musk looked at the time and said, ”my meeting time with Li muyue is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and I have an open lunch and a private dinner. I just heard the business personnel of Muye technology say that there should be an interview with Chinese media for lunch tomorrow.”
Peter Teer immediately asked excitedly, ”is it?! Li Mu invited Chinese media? ”
Elon Musk nodded: ”this is what the business people of Makino technology said. It should not be wrong.”
”Great!” Peter Teer laughed and said: ”if Li Mu takes the initiative to release the meeting with you, it will be more beneficial to us! At that time, I will let the domestic media report, coupled with the media report of China, to push the momentum of your two meeting to a higher level. At that time, I believe eBay will feel unprecedented pressure! This is great news! ”
Elon Musk said with a smile, ”Yeah, I didn't expect that Li Mu would invite the media to come, so you and eBay will have to deal with the rest. It's better to raise our valuation by 15-20%!”
Peter Teer nodded and said with a warning: ”by the way, when you meet with Li Mu, you must try to be modest. Although you are rushing to use Li Mu to stimulate eBay to offer higher prices this time, don't let Li Mu see it, otherwise we may have another enemy in the future.”
”Don't worry, I'll take care of it,” Elon Musk said at once
”That's good.” Peter Thiel said with a smile: ”it's less than seven hours before you meet. I think you should take the time to rest and refresh yourself, and then meet with Li Mu. Although it's impossible for him to buy PayPal, it's also good for us to keep a good personal relationship with him in the future.”
Elon Musk said with a smile, ”that's for sure. Hurry to dinner. I'll take a bath and lie down for a while.”
“OK！”
……
At 9:30 the next morning, Li Mu arrived at Muye technology on time. When he arrived at Muye technology, the team of Muye technology had just started. He went to Elon Musk's hotel to meet him with Li Mu.
Before Elon Musk arrived, Li Mu called Lin Qingya and Wang Nan, the editor in chief of yy.com, to his office and confirmed their work arrangement with them in advance.
First of all, Lin Qingya. Li Mu asked her to communicate with all invited media, interview and shooting. But how to write and how to send the press release is still up to Muye technology to set the tone. If any media issues the press release without permission, the cooperation will be terminated permanently in the future.
Next is Wang Nan's side. Yynet will start tracking and reporting Elon Musk's visit to China this morning. No matter how the report is written, the keynote must be: Elon Musk will go to China and pay a visit to Muye technology in advance.
In addition, Li Mu also asked Lin Qingya to get in touch with eBay's headquarters in advance. Once he had a talk with Elon Musk, Elon Musk was not willing to let Muye technology and eBay co invest in PayPal. Then Lin Qingya directly contacted eBay and told them clearly that he did not have any idea of purchasing PayPal, so that they would not misjudge.
In a word, if Li Mu can't get on PayPal's car this time, he won't let Elon Musk directly or indirectly get any benefits from himself. The ultimate goal is to make him promise to work together with himself to promote eBay and Muye technology to share PayPal's plan.
The team of Muye technology came to Muye technology with Elon Musk and his accompanying translator in strict accordance with the scheduled time.Instead of going out to meet him, Li Mu sat upright in his office and waited for Elon Musk to visit.
