At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Shicheng arrived at the hotel.
When he walked in, his expression was a little more solemn than usual, holding a folder in his hand.
"Mr. Zhao, there are two news. One good news, one not so good news."
Zhao Chen pointed to the sofa and motioned for him to sit down. "Let me tell you the good news first."
Lin Shicheng sat down and opened the folder.
"SpaceX's legal team has confirmed that the invitation letter will be out on Monday morning.
If you enter the country with the invitation letter, the customs will give you a sufficient period of stay, no problem for more than one month."
Zhao Chen nodded. "Where's the second news?"
Lin Shicheng said, "Your visa--today is the last day. Sunday, March 18th.
You must leave the country today, otherwise you will be considered overstayed."
The room was quiet for a moment.
Zhao Chen leaned on the sofa and said nothing.
Of course he knew that the visa's stay period was until March 18. When Toronto re-entered the country, the customs only gave him seven days.
He thought seven days was enough, but the SpaceX incident disrupted all plans.
The invitation letter plan mentioned by Lin Shicheng is indeed feasible, but the invitation letter will not be available until Monday, and he must leave today.
Zhang Qingxue frowned. "What if you don't leave the country today?"
Lin Shicheng shook his head.
"Not recommended. The consequences of overstaying are very serious. Even if you overstay for just one day, your entry to United States in the next three years will be affected.
If you exceed the deadline by more than 180 days, you will not be allowed to enter the country for ten years. This risk is not worth taking."
Zhao Chen stood up, walked to the window, was silent for a while, and then turned around.
"Then we will return to China as originally planned. We will leave today."
Su Wantang said softly, "What should we do about SpaceX?"
Zhao Chen said, "Come back in two days. After the invitation comes out, Lawyer Lin will send it to my email."
I'll handle Henglong's matter in the country and I'll be back in three or four days."
Lin Shicheng nodded. "This plan is feasible. After you return to China, I will prepare the invitation letter and related documents.
When you re-enter the country, take these documents to the customs and they will give you a sufficient period of stay."
Zhao Chen looked at Zhang Qingxue. "Aunt Zhang, help me confirm the flight. For tonight, go back to Shan City."
Zhang Qingxue nodded, picked up the phone and started making a call.
Zhao Chen looked at Lin Shicheng again.
"Lawyer Lin, please help me lock in the quota for new shares from SpaceX.
100 million US Dollar cannot be thrown away. Existing Shares Things over there in the east will be advanced after I come back."
Lin Shicheng Write down these items in your notebook.
"Understood. I will first confirm with SpaceX legal affairs that the new share quota is locked, and the invitation letter will be sent to your email address on Monday.
Existing Shares Over there, I will make preliminary contact first, and we will discuss it in depth when you come back."
Zhao Chen nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Lawyer Lin."
In the afternoon, the three people packed their luggage and left the hotel.
Zhao Chen sat in the car, watching the street scene of Manhattan slowly receding outside the window.
He stayed at New York for nearly a month - bought 7.6 million shares of Tesla, met with Elon Musk, and negotiated an investment in SpaceX.
I did everything I should do and nothing I shouldn't.
The only regret is that there was not enough time for the visa and the SpaceX matter could not be completed in one go.
But it doesn't matter, I'll be back in a few days.
When the car drove past Queens Bridge, he looked back at the skyline of Manhattan.
The skyscrapers sparkled in the afternoon sun like a forest of glass and steel.
Arriving at Kennedy Airport, the three of them passed the security check and sat down in the terminal.
The flight to Shan City will take off in two hours. Zhao Chen sat at the window seat and looked at the plane on the tarmac.
Su Wantang sat next to him and handed him a cup of coffee. "What are you thinking about?"
Zhao Chen took the coffee. "I'm thinking about SpaceX. I have to come back in two days."
Su Wantang looked at him. "How long do you plan to stay when you go back this time?"
Zhao Chen thought for a while. "In three or four days, arrange things for Henglong and Bubble Mary, and then come back."
SpaceX cannot delay, Existing Shares East needs to contact us as soon as possible. The window of opportunity is very short, if you miss it, it will be gone."
Su Wantang nodded and did not ask any more questions.
Zhao Chen took out the phone and turned to the Twitter of Elon Musk.
Hundreds of thousands of retweets and hundreds of thousands of likes.
In the comment area, someone shouted "Tesla to the moon", someone was counting the losses of "Era Vanguard", and someone asked "What will Era Vanguard buy next?"
He smiled and put the phone away.
The boarding announcement rang.
The three people stood up and walked into the corridor. Zhao Chen walked at the back and looked back at Floor-to-Ceiling Window in the terminal.
The skyline of Manhattan is faintly visible in the distance, like a piece of gold scattered on the horizon.
He turned around and walked into the plane.
New York, farewell for now. He will come back in a few days.
More than ten hours later, the plane landed at Chongqing Jiangbei Airport.
Beijing It is already the evening of March 19th.
Zhao Chen When the three of them walked out of the arrival hall, Shan City the dusk was getting thicker.
The cruise ship on the Yangtze River has its lights on, and the shadows of the mountains in the distance are looming in the fog.
He took a deep breath, and there was a smell of Hot Pot mixed with river water in the air.
The phone rang. Chen Xi sent a message:
"Zhao Zong, I heard that you are coming back today? Yunnan Agriculture There is a document over there that needs you to sign. Bubble Mary's Existing Share Acquisition is about to be finished. Will there be a meeting tomorrow?"
Zhao Chen replied, "Tomorrow morning, at nine o'clock, call Chen Qiming and Song Zhongping as well."
Chen Xi replied in seconds, "Received."
Zhao Chen put the phone away and got in the car.
Zhang Qingxue took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat, leaving the back seat for Zhao Chen and Su Wantang.
Liu Haitao drove out of the airport and merged into the traffic flow.
He leaned on his seat and looked at the Shan City night scene outside the window.
At the intersection of the Yangtze River and Jialing River, the light draws a long strip of light on the water.
He stayed at New York for nearly a month, but Shan City is still the same.
The sky is foggy, the air is cold and humid, and the streets are full of Hot Pot stores.
Zhao Chen closed his eyes, thinking about the arrangements for the next few days.
There will be a Executive Meeting meeting tomorrow morning to deal with the Henglong backlog of matters.
In the afternoon, I met with Bubble Mary's legal affairs and finished the work of Existing Share Acquisition.
Go take a look at Yunnan Agriculture the day after tomorrow and meet Mr. Cheng.
The day after tomorrow, I'll go and spend some time with Shen Zhiyi.
Then, fly back to New York on Thursday or Friday.
SpaceX's new share quota must be locked, Existing Shares's premium acquisition must be promoted, and Tesla's position must be continued to be held.
None of these things can be left behind.
The car drove over the long Jiang University bridge. Zhao Chen opened his eyes and looked at the river outside the window.
He remembered what Elon Musk said - "Aren't you afraid of losing?" He replied, "Afraid. But I am more afraid of missing out."
This is the truth. Previous Life He missed a lot of opportunities.
Now, he has the opportunity to get back all that he missed. Not just a little bit, but all of it.
Liu Haitao parked the car at the door of the Villa.
After returning home, Zhao Chen glanced at himself in the mirror - twenty-two years old, Chairman of Henglong Group, the actual controller of Era Vanguard.
Holding 9.88% of Tesla's shares, SpaceX's investment is advancing, and Henglong's debt ratio target is approaching step by step.
The road is still long, but he is in no hurry.
If you take it step by step, you will always finish the journey.
Zhao Chen picked up the phone and sent a message to Lin Shicheng:
"Lawyer Lin, it's safe. Please continue to advance the SpaceX matter. Send the invitation letter to my email."
Lin Shicheng replied instantly, "Received. Mr. Zhao, have a good rest. See you in a few days."
Zhao Chen replied with one word, "Okay."
