Chapter 216 Samad
"You know, different commercial space companies have different goals, our goal is to go to Mars, and artificial intelligence is a very low priority for SpaceX.

In contrast, Tesla has the strongest demand for artificial intelligence.

SpaceX is more like rockets, fuel, engines, the romance and tension of these traditional industries. Artificial intelligence is a very distant thing for SpaceX.

But I understand what Wright is thinking. Their goal is space mining, so they cannot do it without a large amount of artificial intelligence. Relying on humans to do space mining is much more difficult than relying on robots.

Just like Guangjia Aerospace has temporarily surpassed our Falcon 9 in reusable rockets, but they have not invested resources in manned spacecraft.

This is determined by the business model, and everyone invests resources in different directions." Musk said.

Nicholas obviously wanted to make the show more explosive, as such peaceful conversations were a bit too boring:
“Well, that’s one reason.

There are many companies in America dedicated to commercial aerospace. Apart from SpaceX, Bezos' Blue Origin is probably the most famous.

We also interviewed Bezos on our show last time, and he also talked a lot about his space ideals on the show.

He said that he would use the money he earned from Amazon to build infrastructure for the space industry for future generations to use, and perhaps then space entrepreneurs would be born.

He believes that only by building the infrastructure for the space industry can the imagination and creativity of this industry be truly unleashed.

It's obvious that Bezos attaches more importance to Blue Origin than to Amazon.

You, Wright, and Bezos are all entrepreneurs in the commercial aerospace field, but we all know that you are not friendly to Bezos. You often mock Bezos on Twitter and even use insulting words such as "plagiar dog" to describe him.

But you have never described Wright like this. You should know that when Light Armor Aerospace launched Pioneer 1, many people on the Internet believed that their success was due to plagiarizing SpaceX's Falcon 9.

I am curious, why do you have such different attitudes towards these two people? "

Nicholas is the type who won't give up until he adds fuel to the fire.

Musk and Bezos are also quite interesting. In addition to mocking Bezos with words like "plagiarism dog" on Twitter, Musk also said in an interview that Bezos takes himself too seriously.

Bezos tried to act nonchalant. When asked on Nikola's podcast what he thought of Musk, Bezos said that he didn't know much about Musk and only knew about him from the Internet.

After this interview came out, netizens directly refuted it by posting photos of the two of them having dinner together in the early 2000s.

Musk didn't want to answer, but thinking about Bezos's last speech, he felt a little unhappy if he didn't reply. He felt uncomfortable:

"Wright was an outstanding engineer who knew a lot about aerospace. Can you imagine that after several launch failures of the Starship, Wright could find the key problems of the Starship just from media reports?
He is so outstanding in the field of aerospace that it is hard for me to have any ill feelings towards such a person.

Bezos claims that he wants to build space infrastructure and lay a good foundation for future generations. However, he is just a businessman and all he does is to poorly repeat the work of SpaceX.

In addition to reusable rockets, Guangjia Aerospace's next goal is the space station. In addition to reusable rockets, Blue Origin's next project is Starlink. I forgot that their reusable rockets have not been successful yet.

The difference between the two sides could not be more stark.”

"So Wright is better than Bezos?" asked Nikola.

"I don't know about the business world, but in the commercial aerospace world, Wright is a manager who can be compared with me," Musk said.

"I'm still curious as to what's going on between you and Light?"

Musk paused for a moment and then said: "Okay, we're going to work together to build a luxury car brand that's better than Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and other brands.

The car brands mentioned above were all born in the era of fuel vehicles. Even though they are also transforming towards new energy, they are, after all, products of the previous era.

We want to reshape the world’s perception of luxury brands in the new energy era.”

Nicholas took a deep breath. Just hearing the name of this co-founder was enough to make people excited. "It's hard to describe how much I want to invest.

Can you give me some investment share?"

He went on to say: “Elon, you know, the joining of two giants can easily lead to conflicts if there is no lubricant in between.

And I am willing to be the lubricant between you two."

Musk knew exactly how he was going to say no: “I guess I don’t have the final say.

You have to ask Wright if he wants to."

His subtext is that I don't want to give you a piece of my share.

After the podcast was broadcast that day, Tesla's stock price soared 13 percentage points, and the market responded strongly.

There was a lot of heated discussion on the Internet, and some digital bloggers even designed concept drawings.

Everyone agrees that Apple will no longer make cars, and Tesla, which lacks innovation, will find it difficult to surprise consumers.

New energy vehicle companies in the market are innovating very quickly, and often the new car you bought two years ago becomes outdated after two years.

Various radical designs have appeared from time to time, but there has always been a lack of new energy vehicles that can ignite the entire high-end market.

"I have already felt the excitement I had when I saw the Apple concept car. Just thinking about what kind of surprises these two technology geeks will bring us is enough to make me excited."

"What I care about most is how much technology will be added. Appearance is the least important thing for the two of them to jointly build a car. Tesla's appearance is just like a big mouse, and it has not affected its sales."

In fact, the most panicked one is Lotus. After Lin Jia became a director of Lotus, Lotus has been hoping to take advantage of Chen Yuanguang's extensive influence in Greater China to carry out brand marketing.

But he had to give up because he didn't get Chen Yuanguang's nod.

Now that Chen Yuanguang is going to take action himself, Lianhua’s plan has completely fallen apart.

When global public opinion focused on Wright and Musk's cooperation in building cars, Chen Yuanguang's Malaysia strategy had already begun.

Shortly after the wedding, Chen Yuanguang approached Lin Jia and said, "I need some money that I can't find the source of."

Lin Jia knew Chen Yuanguang very well, and he also knew that his life was very monotonous and he had no need for money at all. He still couldn't find the source of such a special request:
"Ah? What's the approximate magnitude?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "There is no upper limit. It depends on how much you can give. It must be at least 100 million US dollars."

Lin Jia was even more surprised, "What are you going to use it for?"

Chen Yuanguang said: "I have a very big plan.

I don’t want to tell anyone about this plan, because it would be dangerous for you if you knew it.”

Although Lin Jia was completely confused, all kinds of speculations popped up in his mind, "You don't want to fund some overseas forces that oppose America, do you?"

Now it was Chen Yuanguang's turn to be surprised, because Lin Jia's guess was almost right: "No, but I'm curious why you thought about it that way."

Lin Jia said: “Because the wedding did not go smoothly, the threat from American was imminent.

This approach might help divert their attention.

Such a large amount of funds is needed, and the unit of payment is US dollars. Isn't this the most likely possibility? "

Chen Yuanguang smiled bitterly: “No.

Anyway, don’t ask me yet, I will tell you one day.” Lin Jia said: “I don’t have it, I have to ask my dad, he must have it.

But if it is to be kept anonymous, the amount will be very small.”

Chen Yuanguang asked: "What about the bearer deposits in Switzerland?

Given its global fame, the amount should be at least several hundred million US dollars, right? "

Lin Jia said: "Yuanguang, Switzerland is no longer as good as it used to be. If it could still provide similar services, virtual currencies such as Bitcoin would not have emerged so suddenly.

You can think of Swiss bearer deposits as medium-term notes issued by Swiss banks, and you can withdraw money with the notes.

Since 14, it has had a quota, and the maximum amount is 10 Swiss francs, which is approximately 10 US dollars.

Its amount is far less than you imagine. In terms of billions, the only thing I can think of is BTC.

But my dad probably doesn’t have much BTC in his antique thing, so I have to go ask.

If you are willing to wait, you can slowly launder the money into virtual currency through some foreign capital in Hong Kong.

Fly to Christie's to buy some antiques and paintings, and then trade them. However, the commission for this operation will be very expensive, about 30%.

Another very important point is motivation. It is difficult for us to go, especially under the current circumstances. Even if it is to Hong Kong, we don’t think we can go there on our own.

What’s more, we were never interested in this before, so it’s even more strange that we’re suddenly going there now.”

Chen Yuanguang said helplessly: "Please ask your father how many BTC he has. Let's start with BTC first."

Chen Yuanguang originally thought that the BTC in Lin Qinghua's hands was at most a few million RMB, but it turned out that the BTC in his hands far exceeded expectations, about 5000 million US dollars.

"How come your dad has so many BTC?" Chen Yuanguang was surprised and happy.

Lin Jia said, “I’m curious too, I’ve never heard him say that before.

When he started to allocate overseas assets in 14, his personal assistant at Goldman Sachs suggested that he might consider allocating some virtual currencies, believing that this would be very valuable in the future.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, and that year BTC fell from $900 to $300.

My father was still feeling lucky that he didn't buy it, because after buying it, he immersed himself in it.

BTC was at a low point throughout 15, hovering between over $500 and $.

Until 17, which was the year when BTC went completely crazy, the price rose to nearly $.

His personal assistant achieved financial freedom through BTC, and before leaving his job, he told my father about the value of BTC and the necessity of its existence.

Another big event that year was that the overall supervision became stricter, and it became increasingly difficult for funds to flow overseas. Overseas investment and overseas asset purchases, even if done in the name of a company, were closely monitored.

Taking these factors into consideration, my father began to slowly allocate BTC. If the overseas business had not been shrinking in recent years and the liquid funds he could operate were less, the number would have been even larger.

But the scale is not what you expected.”

Chen Yuanguang nodded: "Considering the current situation, this can do a lot.

I will exchange my Light Armor Technology shares with you. Considering the cost of cashing out, I will trade $7000 million worth of Light Armor Aerospace shares with you. What do you think?"

Lin Jia shook his head: "There's no need to be so clear between us.

I have something I can trade with my dad.

We are already married, there is no point in transferring money from the left hand to the right hand."

Chen Yuanguang said, "You have to explain to your father, right?"

Lin Jia raised his eyebrows, slightly angry: "What do you want to tell him?
He also wanted to bring the illegitimate son back, saying that my family is rich and powerful and can't care about those bottles and jars, and he wanted to leave some property to the illegitimate son.

I'm not mad at him yet.

Anyway, you take it first. If I don’t take it, it will be left to that illegitimate child.”

With $5000 million worth of BTC, combined with the computing power matrix built by Guangjia Aerospace and the virtual currency prediction model from the future, Chen Yuanguang quickly tripled the market value.

"+10.79%"

"+9.27%"

"+3.02%"

"+0.79%"

Chen Yuanguang registered the name Samad on Twitter. The account, which is located in Malaysia, became an instant hit and has over one million followers.

This account doesn’t post anything else but the transaction chart and account balance every day.

The BTC amount of 5000 million US dollars alone is enough to attract attention. Combined with a large number of short-in and short-out operations and an all-red record, 5000 million US dollars turned into 1 million in just one month.

At first, a lot of people on the Internet said that this was a scam and that the screenshot was photoshopped.

It wasn't until the exchange came out and said that this was true and gave "Samad" the title of Samad God that the entire cryptocurrency circle was in an uproar.

There are many myths in this circle about achieving financial freedom from zero, and they pop up every now and then.

However, starting with such a large trading volume, doubling it in just one month, and not being cut off by others in this mixed market is really the first time I have seen someone who cuts off his opponents instead.

Considering that the current economic situation is unclear, China has just taken action, and the Federation has changed its leader and is also ready to move. Cryptocurrency transactions are uninterrupted 24 hours a day. With so many influencing variables, it is even more difficult to achieve such a record.

While "Samad" has gained a large number of fans on Twitter, the most common question people ask is: "Can you take me with you?"

The second one is: "Have you developed a 100% accurate prediction algorithm for BTC?"

The former is everyone's simple wish, and the latter is the most common guess.

We all play this game, and the more you try it underwater, the more you realize how difficult it is, with densely packed images and prices changing 24 hours a day.

They are unwilling to believe that this can be achieved through human transactions.

"We can clearly see that Samad's trading profit rate is decreasing. If we draw a range, it has dropped significantly this month."

"Isn't this normal?

He has such a big plate and has made so much profit. The funds behind each exchange are following his lead. So his model will definitely change.

With this variable added, his funds are still profitable. What a terrifying model. "
