Chapter 411: Assisting Dreams
"Mr. Musk, it's a pleasure to see you again!!"
David stood up eagerly and shook hands with the other party.
To be honest, he had not anticipated that Trump's acquaintance would turn out to be Musk.
Ever since the Offshore Tax Avoidance Bill passed, he had been looking for Musk for quite some time. When today he heard from Kepel that Musk seemed to be avoiding him, he felt even more troubled; but he hadn't expected Musk to come to him voluntarily now.
However, putting that aside, he now understood the confidence underlying the words Trump had spoken before.
If Musk was willing to bring his capital into the mix, then not only the stock market task assigned to Trump but also assisting other families wouldn't be a problem.
After all, he had at least claimed the title of the world's richest man in public. With his controlled capital and influence, saying he could directly determine the outcome might be an exaggeration, but to bring a new vigor to their camp was definitely not an issue.
"That's right, Chief Inspector David, after friendly negotiation between both parties, Mr. Musk has agreed to join the financial rescue operation. Of course, in addition to that..."
Seeing the two had exchanged pleasantries, Trump immediately stepped forward but hesitated towards the end.
"Now that we're all here, we're no strangers, just speak your mind Mr. Trump!"
The reason David had called for this meeting today was to inquire about the situation of The Big Three Groups and also to make some arrangements.
But Musk's presence was an unexpected joy; if he could be involved in the rescue operation, it would save David a lot of trouble.
"That's the situation, Chief Inspector David, Mr. Musk had once initiated a plan called 'BFR,' but due to the intervention of President Biden and some people from the Freemasonry Group, the project was shelved. Now his dream is to reinitiate this plan, you see..."
After finishing, Trump and his daughter looked anxiously at David.
Although their prior plans were sound, human hearts are unpredictable, and no one knew whether David would be angered by their initiative.
Fortunately, upon hearing this, David showed no sign of discontent, much to their relief.
And upon hearing David's next words, father and daughter were secretly delighted.
"Is that so..."
David turned to Musk and said, "In that case, Mr. Musk, I will talk to President Biden about this matter, and I will help you get the approval of Congress. I will take care of any other problems for you so that you can restart this project. How does that sound?"
As a global star, David was quite familiar with Musk's achievements and had heard a bit about this project.
Of course, the reason he so readily agreed was that the project wasn't a big deal, certainly not like pushing through a bill. With his current control over Congress, the project wasn't an arduous task for him.
To exchange this favor for Musk's 'joining,' thereby helping him take care of the stock market problem first, seemed like a hugely beneficial deal!
"Thank you very much, Chief Inspector David!"
Musk appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was already filled with immense joy.
This was his dream, after all, and the ease with which David had agreed suggested strong assurance.
Musk had made up his mind at that moment that he would go all in on this financial rescue.
Destroying The Big Three Groups' current scheming would leave them significantly weakened after another blow, and even if they sought revenge later, they would barely pose a threat.
Not defeating them now, allowing them to make a comeback, could lead to troublesome retaliation in the future.
"By the way, Mr. Musk, this BFR plan, it's that Mars colonization project, right?"
David asked with keen interest, as if he had just remembered something.
"That's right! In the future, I plan to launch a super-sized rocket that will carry people, food, air, living supplies, and more..."
"To allow our fellow Earthlings to migrate and live on Mars..."
Once Musk started talking about his dream, he became inexhaustibly eloquent.
He got so involved in his narrative that he completely forgot the representatives of The Big Three Groups and people like Trump.
Finally, after listening patiently for nearly ten minutes, David regained his composure and quickly interjected, "Wait a moment, Mr. Musk, I'm quite interested in your plan, but let's discuss it later!"
Realizing he had digressed, Musk quickly nodded in agreement.
But then he seemed to remember something else and said, "Oh yes, Chief Inspector David, there's one more thing. The incident where The Big Three Groups, driven to desperation, targeted the family members of the Senators, is what I am most concerned about. So if possible, I would like you to use the channels of the FBI, CIA, and NSA to ensure the safety of my family..."
"That's no problem, I will inform them right away."
"That's wonderful, thank you so much..."
Hearing David readily agree again, Musk was naturally filled with gratitude, even his form of address became more respectful.
