Chapter 1529: Unprecedented Spectacular

"No, Martin, you should stick to one point of view. Everything should be stripped of the appearance of things and start from the essence," Musk walked down the gangway without looking around, as if he was still in the familiar places such as Los Angeles International Airport or Los Angeles Long Beach Airport.

Martin Eberhard followed Musk and walked out of Musk's Dassault private business jet.

He had no time to listen, nor did he want to listen to Musk's nagging. He had argued all the way here.

He looked up at the scenery of this strange country impatiently.

The buildings and building complexes that were unforgettable when descending were only a flash of surprise. Now I don't know which direction they are in. The airport in front of me is unusually large, unusually modern, and unusually busy.

Behind the two of them, there were six staff members. These six people also came to China for the first time.

While they were moving their hands and feet, which became a little sore due to the long flight, they were curiously looking at this country that was praised and criticized in the media, just like Martin.

"Mr. Musk, Mr. Martin," Zhou Xingyu smiled and walked down from a business car, "I am the vice president of Forex Group, you can call me Zhou, Mr. Feng entrusted me to pick you up, he has been waiting for you at the hotel for a long time,"

"Hello Zhou," Musk was very polite to Feng Yiping's executive, "Whose plane is that?" He looked at a Global Express on the tarmac and asked.

"That's Jirry from Yahoo, he just arrived two hours ago,"

Chief Yang is indeed the most active in domestic travel, his plane is the first to arrive today.

After sitting in a business car with his entourage and finally separated from Musk, Martin felt relaxed and couldn't help stretching his hands and feet.

The journey here is definitely more tiring than working in Silicon Valley. Musk has been discussing Tesla's problems with him and has been promoting his "first principles."

Now, his ears are finally quiet.

"Looking forward to it?" He asked the young man next to him who looked excited.

"Yeah," the man nodded heavily, reluctant to take his eyes away from the window.

Like Martin, this person was very curious about this oriental country.

"So many people?" A person asked in surprise, looking at the dark crowd at the exit.

"It seems that there are reporters among them," Martin said, looking at the equipment in the hands of those people.

Sure enough, the flash lights were flashing, and they were looking at the surrounding scenery, but in the eyes of these reporters, they were also scenery.

The car in front stopped, and Musk, who was very serious just now, got out of the car with a smile - this is a person who is very good at seizing such opportunities.

Or, as a person who has been in Hollywood, he always finds it difficult to resist the temptation of flash lights.

His move made the reporters who were stopped by the police a little excited, and soon, he was pulled back to the car by two security guards with headsets.

"This is Elon Musk," the reporters have compared him with the people on the list, "the founder of SpaceX,"

"Oh, they are so enthusiastic," Musk excitedly waved to the reporters who were chasing the car and taking pictures outside the window.

Seeing his look, Zhou Xingyu couldn't tell him a cruel fact. When Yang Zhiyuan arrived, there were not only reporters waiting to greet him, but also a large number of fans. Some people even sobbed with excitement when they saw him.

"We are a hospitable nation," he said with a smile.

In the temporary dispatch room set up in Jiasheng Building, Feng Yiping immediately learned about this episode. This is indeed very Musk.

…………

Just one hour after Musk and his team arrived, another Global Express, carrying Microsoft's president Steve Ballmer, arrived at the Capital Airport.

A large group of executives from Microsoft China, surrounded their big boss, and hurriedly left the airport.

His arrival naturally caused a commotion among the waiting reporters, but Ballmer was more reserved this time, just rolling down the window and waving to the reporters.

After Charlie from McDonald's and Collins from NAVTEQ, Feng Yiping's Gulfstream arrived with the two founders of Google, which set off a small climax again, because of their success and because of their close relationship with Feng Yiping.

"Do you feel that they look at us as if they were their own people?" Page was a little confused.

"Of course it's because of Yiping," Brin kept looking towards the city at this time.

"You said, every time Yiping returns to China, there are so many reporters to welcome him?"

"Look at Bill from Microsoft, isn't there a lot of reporters watching his every move," Brin said.

Behind them, Bezos sat in the car with a few people, smiling at the warm welcome the two young men in front of him received.

His Amazon is already the largest e-commerce company in the United States, but compared with the Google of the two in front, there is still a huge gap.

…………

Musk's little regret at the airport was soon made up at the Jiasheng Holiday Hotel, where there was no need to worry about affecting public order, so he could calmly accept questions from reporters gathered downstairs.

"No, developing rockets is only our first step. The ultimate goal we pursue is to successfully migrate humans to Mars," he explained his dream to everyone.

"Our advantage is that the current aerospace institutions are all heavily bureaucratic. Bureaucracy has led to a sharp increase in the cost of rockets. This is our opportunity. In theory, there is no limit to making rockets at a lower cost."

This is in response to questions about his SpaceX and the advantages of the aerospace institutions currently established by various countries or groups of countries... .

Reporters are not the only ones who listen to their answers.

On days like today, many Forex employees working in the Forex business district are also distracted from work and have been paying attention to the movements here, because among the big guys who arrived today, several are idols of everyone.

Previously, Jerry Yang, now the two brothers of Google.

When Page and Brin arrived at the hotel, the car could not drive to the door, and they enjoyed a welcome reception.

Page, who doesn't like this, was also infected by the sincerity and enthusiasm of these admirers. Along the way, he was very easy-going and signed no less than 30 times in the notebook and on Google T-shirts at everyone's request.

But compared to Musk's unsatisfied spirit, he was much more low-key. Facing the fanatical supporters and enthusiastic reporters, Page just smiled, said "Thank you for your support," and walked quickly into the hotel.

At the front desk, Feng Yiping was waiting with Jin Ling, smiling.

Brin, who was left behind by him, had to say a few more words, "We believe that some of you will do better than us in the future,"

"I thought I knew enough about China, but what I saw and heard from the airport to here completely refreshed my understanding and made me realize that my understanding of China is far from enough,"

Inside, Feng Yiping was already hugging Page, "Welcome to China, how do you feel?"

"Very good, this is a country that has a good foundation and is still developing rapidly. The construction projects going on along the way, from public works to private projects, are simply more than the construction carried out in the San Francisco Bay Area in so many years,"

"Feng, I think our investment in Chinese search should be greatly increased,"

Brin walked in with a few people, and did not forget to wave to the enthusiastic cheering people outside, "Feng, this is really a charming city, there are so many historical buildings at first glance, and so many modern skyscrapers,"

"But why are we staying here? Doesn't that building over there belong to Google? Let's go and have a look now,"

…………

By three o'clock in the afternoon, only one guest on the list had not arrived, but there were still many reporters squatting at the airport.

Because that person is Steve Jobs.

In fact, at this time, Steve Jobs was far from reaching the heights that he would later achieve in the hearts of domestic consumers, which can be seen from the sales of iPod.

At this time, in the minds of Chinese people, Steve Jobs was not at the same level as Bill Gates of Microsoft.

Although the launch of iPod has greatly improved Apple's strength and image, Apple at this time cannot be compared with Microsoft in terms of comprehensive strength or corporate image.

More importantly, Apple at this time has not been able to successfully integrate into the lives of Chinese people like Microsoft or IBM.

It's just that our country's cultural traditions particularly like entrepreneurs with such tortuous experiences.

Steve Jobs was successful at a young age. When his company went public at the age of 25, he became a billionaire, but the good times did not last long. He was expelled from the company he founded at the age of 30, and finally staged a king's return at the age of 40...

Such a legendary experience is simply the favorite of Chinese people. It doesn't need to be polished, it's just a good show.

Even more respectful than the reporters were Fang Xing and his colleagues at Apple China.

The general executives were fine, they were full of expectations, but Fang Xing and his core members were not expecting anything at all.

They knew very well that the founder's temper was as great as his fame.

As long as he set foot on Chinese soil, he would soon have an intuitive understanding of China and a general understanding of China's consumer market. After that, there was no doubt that his team would be subjected to his stormy attacks - this was still an ideal situation.

As the head of the China region, he knew very well that the problems of his team were not all in the final sales results.

Therefore, he was a little afraid to think about the unsatisfactory situation.

If it wasn't for the lack of time, if he had known that Feng Yiping would bring him to China this month, Fang Xing would definitely resign in advance without hesitation.

At this time, Fang Xing couldn't even control his expression, and his face was always cloudy.

"Mr. Fang, the chairman's plane has landed,"
