The American Kill Line: I Can Predict the Future

Chapter 102 My Daddy, I'm Going to Fly Away!

the next day.

Musk arrived at the hotel to meet Ron with the share transfer agreement.

After Tesla's stock was released from lock-up, many shareholders cashed out and ran away.

Even the institutions that are cooperating with them are reducing their holdings.

These were all pre-ordered by Musk.

11%, based on the current market value of $23 billion, the total price is $2.53 million.

As a result, Hunter Capital became Tesla's largest shareholder after Musk.

It is 5.6% higher than Fidelity Investments.

On the day the news broke, the entire Wall Street community focused its attention on this new energy vehicle company.

The Wall Street Journal dedicated its front page to this story.

Analysts from Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley published positive analyses of the new energy sector on Bloomberg.

On that day, Nasdaq's new energy sector stocks surged by more than 10%, and clean energy sector stocks surged by 6%.

Tesla's market value surged by more than 30% at its peak.

For the first time, Ron demonstrated the terrifying influence befitting the king of hedge funds in the US stock market.

Silicon Valley's top internet giants immediately felt the pressure from Wall Street's top predators.

In the following days, Silicon Valley internet technology giants invited Ron to dinner and parties one by one.

Everyone knows he likes celebrities and models.

The companions were either Hollywood actresses or top models.

In short, take good care of this person and send them off happily.

Even Bill Gates of Microsoft invited him to his estate.

No wonder he was once the world's richest man; his estate even has a horse farm.

The weather was sunny and the breeze was gentle.

Seeing the dashing figures on the field, Ron couldn't resist the urge to join in.

His marksmanship declined after leaving Texas.

But I'm fairly good at riding.

In the end, he actually lost to a 15-year-old girl.

This was unacceptable to Ron.

Jennifer rode over, beaming. "You're Dad's friend? Your horsemanship is pretty good; I can tell you used to ride horses often."

"Thank you!" Ron forced a smile, feeling even more depressed at being comforted by a little girl.

The two rode their horses side by side back home.

The little girl confidently extended her hand, her smile carrying a touch of youthful exuberance: "My name is Jennifer."

"Ron."

Ron gave it a perfunctory shake and then withdrew it.

Jennifer raised an eyebrow: "You're not satisfied? How about... another round?"

"No, a loss is a loss. I won't try to save face."

Ron isn't a sore loser, even though it's really embarrassing.

Once outside the riding arena, Ron handed the reins and whip to the approaching assistant coach.

Gates walked over with a smile.

"Dad, I won!" Jennifer ran over and grabbed her father's arm, holding her chin high and giving Ron a triumphant smug look.

The little girl's provocation was both direct and childish.

Ron simply looked away, pretending he hadn't seen it.

Just then, a very light footstep sound came from beside me, mixed with a faint scent of citrus and cedar, which overpowered the smell of hay and the stench of horses in the stable.

Ron raised his gaze slightly and saw a sweet-looking girl walking over with two bottles of iced mineral water.

She wore a light camel-colored trench coat with the belt loosely tied, and a section of the pointed collar of a white shirt peeked out from the neckline. Her dark brown hair cascaded out from under a beret.

Her skin was a cool-toned porcelain white, and under the dazzling California sun, her cheeks and the tip of her nose had a natural pinkish glow.

Here, have some water.

She handed two bottles of water to Ron and Jennifer.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was English with a slight British accent, and the last syllable rose slightly.

"Thanks."

Jennifer thanked her politely, took a sip of water, and then asked curiously, "Lily, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like Audrey Hepburn?"

"Thank you!" Lily Collins said, her lips slightly pursed.

She tilted her head, her gaze landing on Ron's face, and smiled mischievously: "Lost?"

Ron paused in his drinking, glanced at her sideways, and gave a soft "hmm".

Lily Collins finally giggled, not forgetting to give Jennifer, who was smugly pleased with herself, an admiring look.

She met Ron the night before last through an introduction by Elon Musk's wife, Talulah Riley.

Unlike Musk, a workaholic, Talulah is a big fan of celebrity parties.

These past few days, I've been by my husband's side and attended several dinners hosted by internet giants, and only then did I truly realize what level Ron belongs to.

In Musk's words, Ron earns enough in a month to buy several Teslas.

Upon learning that her husband was going to throw a welcome party for Ron, Talulah volunteered to invite Lily Collins, also a British actress, to join them.

Ron stayed at Gates’ estate for a whole day before returning to his hotel.

The two reached a consensus on cooperation.

Gates is a moderate Democrat and an advisor to Lucian’s private council.

In exchange, he would secure special funding from the Lucian era for the Ron Eagle Beach Shale project, plus at least 30%.

Tax incentives.

Moreover, Gates' family office, Fallstreet, is one of the largest private alternative investment firms in the United States.

It involves multiple sectors including global farmland, energy, and real estate.

It has a comprehensive global macro-level de-identified intelligence system.

This overlaps with Murdoch's intelligence system.

This can be considered as adding double insurance to his "precognition".

More importantly, although Gates stepped down as Microsoft CEO, he remained chairman.

Microsoft can provide an Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) smart mining system for the Eagle Beach oilfield project.

This effectively increases the mining rate and further reduces mining costs.

Ron even thought further ahead, believing that once he acquired Nvidia's shares, he could then facilitate a partnership.

In addition to these, there is also the fact that Ron’s family charitable foundation and Gates’ charitable foundation have reached a global strategic partnership.

He joined Buffett in the Giving Pledge.

This is an initiative launched by Gates and Buffett, aiming to encourage billionaires around the world to donate more than half of their wealth to charity during their lifetime or after their death.

Of course, no one would actually donate their wealth.

Even Gates wouldn't.

Whether it's Gates or Buffett, almost all the super-rich have countless ways to circumvent these restrictions.

Moreover, this oath is a moral commitment, without any legal constraints or institutional oversight.

This also means that participating in it represents not a legal obligation, but rather a social circle and a sense of awareness.

To put it bluntly, this is a top-tier tool for farming reputation.

These are all hidden assets, though Ron didn't think much of them.

But I couldn't refuse.

The main reason for choosing Gates to join was to balance the two parties.

This trip to Silicon Valley has come to a perfect end.

Ron also left Silicon Valley on a new plane.

Lily Collins was also with them.

Although this girl doesn't have a bowling ball.

But as Gates' eldest daughter said, Lily looks a bit like Hepburn.

It's hard to imagine how captivating Audrey Hepburn must have been in the 1940s and 50s, that someone who looked somewhat similar could almost make him fall in love with her.

"Oh my God! Daddy, are you sure this is an airplane and not a luxury villa?"

Lily Collins exclaimed in surprise, let go of his hand, and ran to see the sights.

Ron nodded in satisfaction.

It was worth the $1.8 million he spent.

The luxurious Boeing 747-400, which was ordered more than half a year ago, was finally delivered a few days ago.

They drove straight to Silicon Valley.

The entire interior of the aircraft was designed to resemble a five-star presidential suite.

It features a luxurious bedroom, living room, study, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and even a movie theater.

The crew has more than 10 service personnel.

They were all young and beautiful flight attendants.

As the plane flew through the air, Ron led Lily Collins to the bedroom.

As soon as he came in, he pinned her against the wall: "Want to try what it feels like to be in the air?"

Will I be able to fly?

Lily hooked her arms around his neck and gently bit the corner of her lower lip.

"Yes! I promise!"

Ron reached his large hand inside the clothes.

Lily suddenly arched her back and kissed him.

After a while.

The flight attendants outside the door heard a captivating sound.

It wasn't until more than half an hour later that it ended with a loud shout.

A flight attendant with an impressive figure licked her lips slightly: "47 minutes and 03 seconds."

"What?"

The flight attendants around them were taken aback for a moment, then instantly understood, a similar yet intriguing expression appearing on their lips.
