Chapter 152 on the definition of waste

Musk is a talent, no matter from any angle he measures, he is a talent. He has the passion of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and the ability of top engineers. He also has few talkative and funny stories among the "Silicon Valley Elites".

His speech is very interesting, full of all kinds of "jokes". Even if the jokes are not well-written and are embarrassed, he can cleverly resolve them. He will never feel bored when talking to him. He is good at using his advantageous resources and gaining favor from others through conversation skills.

In contrast, Liu Yi didn't say much. In fact, he was never a chatterer. Before coming to Korea, when he talked the most, he would hold meetings, arrange various tasks for his subordinates and urge them to complete them. In private, he either wrote a diary or played games, and his life was no different from an otaku.

Liu Yi rarely talks like Musk. He will never think that Musk said that he is the person who changed the world and made the world a better place, and how the world will be like in many years. His thinking about things is not like this. Simply put, this is the difference in thinking between the East and the West.

Musk is a person who likes to "overdraw". He overdraws people's imagination. When he doesn't even understand the principles of the Rockets, he can use a lie that only fools will believe in "let you travel in space in ten years". He turns investors into a fool and believes that he can do it. After getting the money, he starts doing it.

Liu Yi is the opposite. He is a person who has room for room. Of course, he is desperate to take advantage of his efforts, but he will leave a bottom line for himself. For example, the last "Great Miracle Day" seemed to have no way out, but in fact he still had one move. Even if the company group collapsed, he would not be unable to afford to support his wife.

The so-called failure will at most seriously hurt him, but it will not cause him to fall. In terms of risk, he does not want such great ups and downs.

The basic concepts of the two people are different, so Musk wears out his mouth and instills in him, but in fact he doesn't listen to anything.

Musk also saw it and was a little frustrated. But to his ability to bear it in his heart, this is nothing. He didn't know how many opponents he had experienced than Liu Yi's, but in the end he was the one who laughed to the end. He was not discouraged at all, but instead thought it was a wonderful challenge.

The parts so far are all in his expectation, and he has made some preparations for this, and he thinks it will be very useful.

In Musk's theory, there is no one in this world who cannot be convinced. It is important to find the weakness of the person you want to convince and satisfy his ** according to her needs. If you meet his real needs, he will definitely be convinced.

In his eyes, Liu Yi is a person with typical weaknesses.

After lunch and dessert, Liu Yi planned to say goodbye.

"Thank you for the hospitality. It's getting late. You're going back to the United States tomorrow. I think we should say goodbye." Liu Yi grabbed Jes's hand and stood up, signaled slightly and said.

"Goodbye?" Musk grabbed Liu Yi and shook his head, "No, no, no, now is not the time to say goodbye. You can't pretend to be stupid. This is not the way for smart people."

"But I'm not interested. You invite me to dinner, I'll come and have dinner. Today's things are that simple for me."

Musk made a 'relax' gesture and said, "I know you have the advantage now, but listen, Liu Yi, I know why you will come to see me, and I will not let you down. In fact, I invited Karl Lagerfeld for your girlfriend. I think she must be very interested in meeting him."

Liu Yi looked at Jess privately, and Jess privately shook his head, but the hope in his eyes could not be fake.

"Uh... I'm sorry, what is this Karl Lagerfeld for?"

"oh!" Musk looked seriously injured and screamed exaggeratedly. Jes privately a man who knew nothing about Carl Lagerfeld and hurriedly explained: "He is a famous designer. He is the highest-ranking person in the fashion world. He is known as the Caesar in the fashion world. All people in the fashion world are proud to be able to meet him. He has been in Korea for a few days and I have made an appointment with him many times, but... he doesn't see me."

"It sounds very powerful." Liu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "But I don't think there will be any practical significance when meeting him. Musk, since you have already made the words so clear, you should know that this is not enough."

"Ok, I've convinced him to help your girlfriend, and say that, even if she doesn't have anything. With the help of Karl Lagerfeld, she can have a place in the fashion world."

"He is so powerful?" Liu Yi was a little disbelief and looked at Jespiana. Jespiana nodded vigorously to show that what Musk said was true.

"Okay, I'll stay here, you go and talk to him and see what he can help." He said to Musk: "How long we can talk, it depends on how long they chat, how much help I can give you, how much help he can give my girlfriend. Is this transaction fair?"

"It's very fair, it will definitely satisfy you." Musk said, feeling depressed. He suddenly felt that his "funny and humor" on the dining table just now seemed like a joke. The man in front of him had obviously set a realistic condition. If he didn't have this preparation and did not meet his requirements, he would not convince him without his eloquence.

"Davis, call Hannah over and ask her to accompany Miss Jess to meet Lagerfeld!" Musk obviously thought very well. Although Carl Lagerfeld was eighty-four years old, he still did not let him be alone with Jesss.

"Please wait, contact Hannah Simpson, the voice sending is over."

Soon there was a knock at the door, and a blonde woman in her thirties walked in, nodded to Musk and Liu, and then said to Jes privately: "Please come with me, Mr. Lagerphael is waiting for you."

He sent Jes to the door and kept watching her turn around and couldn't see her, so Liu Yi withdrew his gaze.

Musk frowned when he looked at him.

"Liu Yi, do you know what I think in my heart when I look at you now?"

"I don't know." Liu Yi sat back on the sofa and said, "I know your purpose. If you want me to give up other partners and only cooperate with you, then don't speak up because it's impossible."

Musk shouted: "You just said that I will give you as much help as I can to your girlfriend!"

"You wouldn't think that this kind of help is calculated by percentage, right?" Liu Yi smiled and said, "You gave her 99% of the help, but the value of these help is only tens of millions of dollars at the most. Do you think this value is proportional to the help I can give you?"

"..." Musk knew that he had met an opponent, took a breath, sat next to Liu Yi, and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Do you know what I was thinking about when I looked at you just now?"

"I said it all, I don't know."

"My thought is that you are wasting your energy." Musk looked at Liu Yi with heartache and said, "You have an incomparable talent, a brain given by God. You could have become a person like Leonardo da Vinci. But now you are giving up yourself."

"What's the meaning?"

"You are wasting your talent, you are a person who can truly change the world." Musk stared at Liu Yi's eyes, and his eyes accurately conveyed a meaning. Yes, it is you, you are theone, you are the savior.

This is a standard "Silicon Valley-style" encouragement, which is suitable for almost all young people who think they are good at it. In Silicon Valley, almost every company has to come to the CEO several times a year. Although Musk is relatively tactful, he still keeps his true nature. When he fooled previous investors, this sentence pattern was often used.

This feeling is subtle. In the media propaganda, he was made into the image of the person who changed the world. He was the person who changed the world. He thought you were also his kind of person. Changing the world sounded high-end, and it would make people feel that "being with him" was very high-end. Then the point was, "You are doing something that changed the world". If you don't help, then the world is because you haven't become better, and you are a sinner.

This kind of overbearing logic is essentially capitalism. Of course, this is not Liu Yi's theory. This was taught by his teacher Marxism-Leninistan when he was in college.

"I don't think so. If you are going to fool me like a rookie, we are really wasting our time."

"That's not what it means." Musk was a little anxious. Why is this kid not soaked in water and fire? Musk has "fooled" countless people of Liu Yi in his life, and has never seen him like him. People are arrogant and hope to be appreciated. Does this kid, he doesn't think it's a very honorable thing to be appreciated by the "Real Iron Man of Steel" at all, or does he have a mature age beyond his age, or does he have his own clear goals?

Musk analyzed, but it was too hasty. He didn't have enough information in the flash, and could only get an answer like he was facing a multiple-choice question that he didn't know at all.

"I want to know what you want to do, in other words, what is your ideal?" Musk looked at Liu Yi and smiled: "Don't tell me that your ideal is to make money. I think you should have experienced this feeling. When people at our level, making money is not a problem. Money is just a resource to achieve our goals, and the same resource as steel, technology, science, and the same resource. If you aim to make money, then you are no different from a businessman like Bill Gates."

"Haha, you seem to have an opinion on Bill Gates?"

"Opinion?" Musk shook his head and said, "I don't think of him. In fact, I don't think of him at all. A code dog who only plagiarizes other people's creativity and makes money. He wrote the Ba private C language, but after Microsoft made a profit, he never typed a line of code again. Such a person is completely unrespected. Do you know why his reputation is not as good as Jobs? Because he is so low."

"This is the first time I heard of this statement." Liu Yi smiled and said, "So can I ask you a question? Do you think you are a Bill Gates-like person or a Jobs-like person? As far as I know, Jobs is not good at typing codes, but he is better at marketing. Apple's industrial design is not his own hands, and every business has its own team. In my eyes, he is famous, but he is not the one who does things."

"What you said... makes sense," Musk frowned, "But I still think Bill Gates is more low-key. As a person who has the ability to change the world, he chose to be with money. Jobs was not a programmer, he was better at selling because he was also a CEO-like character."

After hearing Musk's words, Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "Actually, I know what you want to say. You think you are doing something to change the world, and you have publicly stated that you invest in Tesla because of your hobbies and beliefs that benefit all mankind. I believe you are telling the truth, but you need to know that not everyone wants to change the world. And this world is not something that can be changed by changing."

"You asked me just now, what I want to do." Liu Yi continued: "I don't have the idea of ​​changing this world. If you have a similar idea, I want to make this world better through my efforts. You like to give an example, so I'll give an example too. If you compare this world to a program full of bugs, I don't want to rewrite this program. I just want to find one of the bugs and fix it. If I can do it, I think I'm worthy of the three words "all humanity."

"You can do better. You have the ability, why not do it?" Musk couldn't understand, saying, "Because women? ohmygod! I know you have several girlfriends, and I have them, but I don't care. What are women? Women are tools, giving birth to children, relieving boredom, filling the emptiness of my youthful recklessness, but they can't interfere with my ideals. They are not worth mentioning compared to what I want to do. When I found out that they have affected me, you know how I did it, ut! Divorce, clean them out of my life!"

"And what?" Liu Yi looked at Musk, and he couldn't understand Musk's thoughts at all: "What have you got? What are you doing now? Is there anything you have done that has been completely successful? You work for 100 hours a week, where is your super car? You still need my help, and you still can't solve all the problems!"

"I don't think I am the savior, and I have no idea of ​​changing the world. How many years can I live? Even if I devote my life, what can I get? The respect of all mankind for me after I die? I don't care! There are 7 billion people on the earth, and I can only live for decades. I don't owe them anything. When the savior's idea does not exist, even if I spend my whole life, what I can do is very, very limited. In my lifetime, I will never see humans immigrate to Mars. Maybe humans can do it in a few hundred years, but I was dead at that time. Who compensates me for the life I spent on this? You think it's a waste for me to enjoy life now, but I think your thoughts are a waste!"
