Musk left Modu and went to Beijing to pay his respects.
"This trip to China, talking to Lu Liang, has been the happiest thing for me, bar none."
Before he left, he gave an interview to numerous media, praising Lu Liang to the skies, inside and out.
As for the past when Lu Liang shorted Tesla, nearly driving them to their wit's end, he diplomatically referred to it as normal market behavior.
"Mr. Lu, what did you guys talk about?" Li Bing hurried into Lu Liang's office.
Yesterday afternoon, Lu Liang entered the hotel around four o'clock and didn't leave until after nine at night.
For five hours, no one knew what they discussed, but Musk seemed inspired. Otherwise, he wouldn't have showered Lu Liang with such overflowing praise, as if he were an enlightening mentor.
"Just chit-chat."
Lu Liang chuckled lightly, not discussing any specifics.
Musk himself is a person of strong subjectivity; his words only made Lu Liang more certain of the direction he was heading.
