"What, Musk came to the Daqian!" Boss Jia was very surprised when he saw the information.
Boss Jia's intelligence department was very concerned about some famous people in the future, and Musk was also on the list. Boss Jia didn't like Tesla at all, so he deliberately targeted Musk. Unfortunately, his business failed.
Of course, Musk started a business by making payment tools, which completely overlapped with Boss Jia's business territory. Boss Jia certainly wouldn't give Musk a chance to grow.
However, Boss Jia didn't expect that Musk would come to the Daqian to work. What was even more incredible was that Musk applied for the position of the Daqian's business secretary.
The dignified double doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, the greatest inventor of the 21st century, the king of technology, the redefinition of the electric car, the richest man in the world in the future, destined to be the first human to land on Mars, and so on.
Well, although these titles came from another world, Musk was undoubtedly still Musk. Such a proud and irritable guy actually came to the Daqian to apply for the position of a business secretary. Boss Jia felt that it was a bit unreal.
"What do you think?" Boss Jia smiled and asked the person next to him.
"This behavior looks very normal, but it's actually not normal!" The person who spoke was the director of the Daqian's daily affairs department. It sounded like a very ordinary department, and the ordinary employees in the department also went to work normally. However, only some of the higher-ups heard that this daily affairs department didn't care about daily affairs at all. Otherwise, there was no need for the administrative department to exist.
This daily affairs department was actually the Daqian's ears, nose, and eyes. It was responsible for collecting all kinds of information for the Daqian Group. Moreover, the Daqian was very willing to spend money on this department, and even hired some people who retired from special organizations.
Anyway, as long as the daily affairs department wanted to know, there was nothing that couldn't be investigated.
For the Daqian Group, a foreigner applying for the position of a business secretary was actually a rare and ordinary thing for the Daqian Group. Because secretaries naturally had to help their leaders collect all kinds of information and information, handle all kinds of daily affairs, and so on, which involved all kinds of business activities around the world.
It was difficult for a single secretary to handle these matters. Generally, there were full-time secretaries in charge of foreign affairs, and foreigners were the best candidates for secretaries.
For example, Boss Jia now had as many as 36 employees in his secretariat. More than half of them were foreigners who were proficient in Chinese and were responsible for handling various foreign affairs.
As for those frightening titles, they all came from the distant future of another world. The current Musk was just an ordinary person without a single penny. It was very easy for him to apply for a secretary position.
Finally, there was his academic qualifications. It seemed very unreasonable for him to apply for a secretary position with such a high academic qualification. However, don't forget that the Daqian Company was the world's number one company. To be a secretary for a senior executive of the Daqian Company, a doctorate was actually just the threshold. Although a double doctorate was excellent, it was actually just so-so.
Therefore, although Musk's behavior seemed unreasonable, it was actually very reasonable. It was Boss Jia's fault for being too interested in Musk. When he had just graduated, he had already been targeted by the Daqian Company.
"After Musk failed to start his business, he often expressed his dissatisfaction with the Daqian Company on various occasions and social media. This time, he used the loophole in the mechanism of our mobile phone to make profits and gained a lot of money. It is reasonable to say that he should regroup and start his business again. Instead, he wants to join the Daqian Company. This is very unreasonable. I suspect that he has other schemes!" The person in charge of the daily affairs department said faintly.
"Very good, this sensitivity is not bad!" Boss Jia nodded.
"Then, do you want me to stop this person from joining?"
"No, you let him in, but replace the people around him with our people. In addition, keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. I want to see what tricks he wants to play!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Yes!" The person in charge actually didn't quite understand why the boss treated Musk so differently, but since it was the boss's intention, he wouldn't go against it. Therefore, our classmate Musk didn't know that he was being closely monitored from the moment he entered the Daqian Company.

"Crazy, completely crazy!" This was the overall impression of the entire mobile phone industry towards 2009. In their eyes, 2009 was almost a crazy year.
This was because the MPHONE5 had sold more than 12 million units in the past year.
One had to know that this was a phone that cost 2,999 USD per unit. 12 million units meant 36 billion USD in sales, and all of this was created by one phone model. All of the mobile phone manufacturers were extremely envious and jealous of this.
How much money they made was secondary. The sales of 12 million units would completely stabilize the market for the Mphone series. At the same time, the Mphone was directly promoted to the altar.
In fact, the Mphone was on the altar before, but many people were unwilling to admit it. They used the sales of the latest Mphone model as an excuse. As a result, they were slapped in the face this time.
As a result, the sales of the latest Mphone 5 exceeded 10 million USD. This was a mobile phone that cost 2,999 USD per unit. This made the Mphone completely stand in the position of the highest B-level mobile phone in the world. It was even bigger than Apple in the past.
Therefore, except for the Mphone 5, the rest of the Mphones were selling very well. The sales were definitely more than 100 billion USD. People couldn't help but sigh. The Mphone was indeed worthy of being the king of the industry. The era of the Mphone had arrived.
On the other side, Elon Musk was also doing his final work.
In October 2009, he finally succeeded in joining the Daqian Company and became a business secretary of the Daqian Company. He was one of the secretaries directly under the Daqian Company's president, Cook.
This gave Musk a lot of opportunities to get in touch with the inside story of the mobile phone industry. Through these opportunities, Musk finally figured out a lot of mobile phone production problems. At the same time, Musk came to a conclusion that it was impossible to beat or replace the Daqian Company.
Because the Daqian Company had formed a de facto integrated industrial chain. 98% of the products of a mobile phone were all imported from Hua Xia. Moreover, the Daqian Company's own production cost was far lower than other foreign mobile phone manufacturers.
Take the Mphone 5 for example. According to the information collected by Musk, the actual cost of an Mphone 5 may be less than 500 USD. In other words, if an Mphone 5 was sold in the Daqian Company's stores, the profit was as high as 2,499 USD. This made Musk stunned, and his eyes were full of desire.
But it was also very desperate.
