The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Musk has no shortage of funds. Based on his past experience, it is not difficult for him to attract investment from Silicon Valley.

When attracting people to invest in Tesla, he does not look at the money but the platform, and whether it can enable Tesla to grow and develop rapidly from both a business and technological perspective.

Musk extended a sincere invitation: "Hawk, Mary, it's time to invest in Tesla, a sunrise company and sunrise industry!"

Mary gave Hawke a look and said, "We have not yet seen Tesla's detailed introduction, product planning, market prospects, development plans, etc."

Hawke was not in a hurry and did not speak.

According to his inference, Musk wants to make a big splash on Twitter, but he is not famous enough right now.

Musk needs Twitter.

Hawke whispered to Peter Thiel: "Are you going to invest?"

Peter Thiel nodded: "It's confirmed."

Musk made a phone call, and within a few minutes, a beautiful blonde assistant drove a four-wheel electric vehicle and delivered detailed information.

These documents were made in duplicate and given to Hawke and Mary respectively.

Hawke put it away and handed it to Edward who was sitting on the other side.

The four men then continued to play their unfinished innings.

When it was time to leave, Mary walked all the way with Hawke.

The two men stored their golf clubs and walked out of the clubhouse.

As they walked, Mary asked, "In the past, Pacific Investment Company focused on traditional industries. Since the beginning of the new century, it has shifted its focus to emerging industries. What is the prospect of this electric vehicle project?"

Hawke said: "When we held the board meeting in January, I emphasized the interconnection and interaction between AI, the Internet, smart terminals, hacker protection and other industries. Smart terminal devices can be fully integrated into electric vehicles, and autonomous driving is also a future direction."

He changed the subject: “But I feel it will take five or six years or even longer for this industry to become profitable.”

Mary understood and said no more.

The two men's cars drove to the entrance of the club one after another.

When I was about to get in the car, a car coming from the other direction directly blocked the downward road in front of the door.

It was a black Hyundai Equus.

The rear doors on both sides of the car opened, and two men, one in black and one in white, got out.

Hawke recognized the black man walking in front of him as the famous golf star Tiger Woods.

The person behind was a stranger.

When the two men saw Hawke and Mary, Tiger Woods went straight into the club. The white man seemed to know Mary. His eyes lingered on her for a moment, but he didn't say hello and went straight into the door.

Hawke asked with his eyes.

Mary said simply, "Johnny Edwards, a federal senator, announced last year that he would run for the Democratic nomination in this year's election. I heard that he came to California a few days ago. He should be trying to gain support here."

Hawke asked, "It seems like he is familiar with Tiger Woods."

"Maybe I want to learn how to play golf." Mary got into her car and was the first to leave the country club.

Hawke also got in the car and let Edward drive.

The car drove out of the road in front of the country club and turned onto Santa Monica Boulevard.

Hawke asked, "Are the people from Butterfly still following Tiger Woods?"

Edward thought for a moment and said, "Someone must have been following him, trying to capture some big news about Tiger Woods."

Hawke then asked, "Did Tiger Woods have a wedding?"

"Not yet." Because this was one of Hawke's three major sports goals, Edward has been following it: "Tiger Woods got engaged to Swedish model Elin Nordegren last year and held a grand engagement ceremony. Their wedding is scheduled for this year, probably in September."

Hawke said, "Call Campos later and tell people who are watching Tiger Woods to be careful, especially when Tiger Woods is with Johnny Edwards."

If Johnny Edwards becomes a candidate, he will inevitably be protected by the Secret Service, the specifications of which are not much different from those of the president.

However, the other party is still in the stage of seeking party nomination.

Back at the company, Hawke handled the work and carefully looked at the information and plans provided by Musk.

Tesla's entire company now has less than 30 people, and chose the Elise from British Lotus as the basis for development.

In Musk's development plan, he believed that instead of making modifications without any characteristics, it would be better to tear down the car and make a completely new design to make it a hit.

Hawke didn't know how to build cars, but he felt that hastily pushing a featureless car to market would be more likely to fail.

At least a color TV, a refrigerator and a large sofa should be arranged.

The investment in Tesla must be made, and the investment invitation amount is only US$500 million.

Musk invested in Tesla in February and acquired a controlling stake for $2 million.

Hawke knew very well that in addition to investing, Musk wanted more traffic from Twitter.

In his previous life, this person was so skilled in manipulating Internet traffic that he almost marketed himself as a god, and developed a large number of crazy fans all over the world.

As for the shares and rights of the investment, Hawke would need to discuss it later. The next day, Mary Ferguson called and Pacific Investment Company basically confirmed the investment, after all, the amount was only a few million dollars.

Hawke also talked about his decision.

When Musk called in the afternoon to inquire, Hawke agreed to invest, and the two sides quickly began negotiations.

Musk also registered a Twitter account and began to promote his electric car and rocket plans.

During a negotiation, Musk even claimed that he wanted to go to Mars with Hawke in the future.

Hawke thinks the chances are better on the moon.

Having said that, in the past life, data falsification in the American technology and military fields was frequent, just like the little devil's godson.

It makes people subconsciously doubt the authenticity of the moon landing.

Center Street, Covina.

In the temporary campaign office, Brian walked back and forth and asked campaign manager Bacon: "Is the news confirmed?"

"Yes, it's correct." Bacon said seriously, "We at the City Hall saw the two parties sign the contract with our own eyes, and that's why we took the photo."

Brian couldn't help laughing. "Very good, very good. Stuart Resnick is willing to drain the water resources in the Los Angeles area to ensure water for his farm."

"Wonderful has expanded its planting this year, especially for pistachios and almonds," Bacon said.

Brian nodded, glanced at his watch, and asked, "Has Hawk not arrived yet?"

Bacon calculated the time and said, "I called Edward twenty minutes ago. Hawke should be here soon."

The two waited for less than ten minutes before a Mercedes-Benz sedan stopped in front of the temporary campaign office.

Hawke got out of the car and went straight into the reception room.

Bacon came forward to say hello, Hawke shook his hand, and found that his face was full of smiles, so he asked, "It looks like there is good news."

Brian took out the printed photo and handed it to Hawke: "Take a look."

The photo was covered with dense small words. Hawke took it and put it aside: "You should tell me about it."

Brian said: "Once the Smelt Protection Act came out, Wonderful and the Resnick family felt the pressure. Their plantations are mainly located in Southern California. Once they encounter drought, it is difficult to transfer water from the north."

Hawke said: "The biggest effect of this bill is to prevent the transfer of water from the north to the south."

Brian continued: "The forecasts of weather experts, coupled with the introduction of the bill, have recently prompted Stuart Resnick to go around and start a new round of negotiations with Los Angeles City Hall."

At this point, his voice unconsciously rose: "Just a few days ago, Stuttgart, representing Wonderful Company, reached an agreement with Antonio, representing the Los Angeles municipal government, and signed a supplementary agreement on the Los Angeles Canal, Las Virgenes Reservoir, and Santa Ynez Reservoir. Wonderful Company's priority use rights share increased to 78%."

Hawke praised: "The Los Angeles municipal government is still very reliable. At least 22% was retained."

"Because this 22% is used to ensure various priority water use in super-rich areas." Brian said the truth: "In other areas, we can save as much as possible."

Hawke asked, "Did the city council approve it?"

Brian said: "Of course, it was officially reviewed and approved yesterday, and this agreement will officially take effect on April 4st."

The three preparations that Hawke promoted earlier have already produced a chain reaction. The weather forecast drought and the Smelt Conservation Plan will aggravate the concentration of water resources in the Los Angeles area.

As for the report on firefighters, Brian is also making preparations.

If nothing else, the treatment that firefighters received after the 911/ incident alone will profoundly change the firefighting industry.

Hawke came to the map of Los Angeles hanging on the wall, looked at it for a while and said, "I hope the predictions of American experts are correct."

If it's the dry season, it will rain every other day in Los Angeles, and even the best plans will be ruined.

Brian said: "Los Angeles has more than 300 sunny days a year, and this will not change."

Now he has completed the transformation from a wealthy man in Los Angeles to a politician, and he has prepared for the worst. If there is any discrepancy in the plan, he will choose the most appropriate time period and have someone set the fire.

There are tens of thousands of homeless people in Skid Row and Hollywood, and $1 can at least hire hundreds of people to set fires everywhere.

Some of these homeless people would rather go to jail.

Pasanadi, at the outdoor shooting range.

Campos was training with his company's people. Gunshots were heard on the field, and human-shaped targets fell down after being hit by bullets.

These people have never stopped their tracking and shooting training, hoping to return to Mexico one day to avenge their friends and relatives who were killed by their former colleagues or traffickers.

At the secure entrance of the shooting range, Juan hurried over and waved to Campos.

Campos saw it after being reminded by Garcia, packed up his gun, and walked over quickly.

There was constant gunfire here, so the three of them simply went into the lounge which had good sound insulation.

Juan said: "The people following Tiger Woods reported that Woods had just met with Sean Ackerman of the Ackerman family."

When Campos heard these two names, he said, "They are the ones that the boss asked us to focus on. We need to increase manpower and track them carefully." (End of this chapter)
