Chapter 182

In reality, people who often read books will gradually form their own fixed aesthetic.

Those who love the count of Monte Cristo are more likely to choose "the Three Musketeers" than "Pride and Prejudice" when they choose the next book in the bookstore.

Moreover, under the deliberate guidance of Wang Jian, the tendency and theme of novels on the website are more clear.

Some people scoff at the same work, while others regard it as a classic.

But one day, someone took Wuthering Heights to accuse Robinson Crusoe of not being delicate enough.

So, what will be the reaction of the fans of Robinson Crusoe who suffered from the disaster?

"Ha, so many male users go to see the story of harem paulin, and female users go to see the devil of heaven?" Wang Jian shook his head with a smile. "It's hard for them."

"Well," Tom replied casually, sipping his coffee, "arguments have to be made, don't they?"

"I don't know what these people think. Someone has been arguing on twitter for three days."

"As long as they still have money to subscribe, they can make as much noise as they like." Wang Jian replied.

"But the authors, the feedback is more intense."

“？” Wang Jian raised his head in doubt and looked at each other.

"In the book review section of the American gods, a lot of people are asking why there is no African American among the gods."

"In the book review section of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone, there are many women asking why the protagonists in novels written by female authors are still men."

"Don't you support Feminism?"

"Neil Gayman and JK Rowling are responding to the editors."

Er...

Wang Jian took a sip of coffee in consternation and switched to the backstage of the website by the way.

"Then send the subscription data, dollars... Should be able to heal the trauma of these writers?"

Tom nodded and handed in another newspaper.

"What about this one? Do you need a lawyer's letter? "

Wang Jian took it inexplicably and saw that it was two newspapers.

"The first lady joined the feminist movement, and she is the symbol of the rise of American women!"

"Donald, a real estate tycoon, has been named" leader "

"These tabloids..." Wang Jian threw them on the table and tapped his fingers.

"In the past, we reprinted the news of large newspapers. Now, we copy it directly on twitter."

"Drinking coffee, playing computer, you can get news." Tom's tone, with a little sarcasm, "these reporters, should be very happy."

Wang Jian pondered for a moment and looked at each other, "we just need to get rid of our legal responsibilities. "

" these newspapers should also help maintain further popularity. "

"By the way, let Dorothy put" this remark only represents the position of the parties, and has nothing to do with Twitter "on the front page of the website."

"Others..." Wang Jian shrugged his shoulders and said, "after all, it's Democratic America. We must protect freedom of speech!"

At this time, Chen Shijun walked into the office quickly.

"Wang, it's almost time for PayPal's final negotiation."

Wang Jian nodded, looked at the background data of the website, and stood up with a smile.

"We want to thank the first lady and the real estate tycoon for their cooperation."

"This PayPal..." he put on his coat and went to the door. "Basically, it's a gift from these two big people."

Tom and Chen Shijun looked at each other and raised their mouths.

Three people talking and laughing out of the office building, even the eight floors of the stairs, are not so long.

...

Manhattan, in the reception room of Da mo.

Elon Musk is thinking quietly with his eyes closed.

After today's final negotiation, PayPal, as an online payment tool, can complete the cycle of banks, insurance companies and terminals.

However, as the founder himself, can only get 10% of the shares?

He picked up the coffee and took a sip.

Citibank can get through to financial institutions, while the project leader of Damo promised to let its investment companies, eBay and Amazon, support PayPal payment.

So... What about literary websites wangwen.com Is there any need to please?

Musk's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought about the results of his communication with Citigroup and Damo.

"Wang, thank you for introducing me to Goldman Sachs and other financial institutions."

"But now, please be like the angel investor of Bell Labs, and get out quietly."

"The energy of Goldman Sachs is really great, but under the attack of Citibank and Damo, probably it can only keep its own interests?""Mr. musk, it's time to go to the conference room." A service personnel, in his ear gently remind.

He gave the young woman a smile and went to the conference room with pride.

...

while sitting in the conference room, Wang Jian looked around with a little doubt.

Tim Cook, Apple's negotiator, didn't show up in the conference room?

"Wang, Apple has sold 10% of PayPal to Citibank." Lehmann whispered.

Well...

it seems that Apple computer has been strangled out by Wall Street.

Wang Jian nodded to Lyman.

"Ha ha, don't worry." Lehmann patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and said, "behind you, it's Goldman Sachs."

A few minutes later, PayPal founder Elon Musk moved to the center of the room.

"It's clear that he was dismembered. How could he come back from the fight?" Tom whispered.

"We will do the same in the future." Wang Jian said to Tom, "the listing of twitter also needs to be cut to Wall Street."

"The same?" Chen Shijun also joined in the fun.

"Didn't you say that Twitter doesn't have a clear profit model, we need to pull financial institutions to lose money together?"

Hearing this, Wang Jian almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Indeed, there is a big difference between Twitter as an online media and paypal as an online bank.

What media organizations highlight is their influence. As for profits...

apart from the famous playboy, which media organization has never lost money?

So Wang Jian's response to twitter, and his response to wangwen.com The attitude is also different.

But... How can you say that here?

Wang Jian looked at the representatives of the financial giants around him and made a silent gesture to Chen Shijun.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after a few days of deliberation, PayPal made the final decision." Musk took out a stack of papers and handed them to the service staff.

The service staff distributed the documents to the people present.

Wang Jian took the document and read it.

Then he rubbed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, No wangwen.com ？

So... I was fooled!

He had the papers in his hand and looked at Lehmann.

See, Lyman is also a face shocked expression.

"You are violating the interests of Goldman Sachs!" Lyman got up and yelled.

"As far as I know, Goldman Sachs is wangwen.com Do you have shares in the company? "

"We can see the potential of PayPal." The representative of Huaqi bank said: "we three have contributed to the channel construction of PayPal."

"Don't you think Goldman took a little too much?"

"Indeed, if the website as a terminal can become a shareholder, can eBay and Amazon also share the benefits?"

A representative of Damo added: "if Goldman agrees to let eBay, Amazon get and wangwen.com In the same interest. "

He shrugged. "That big Mo, too wangwen.com I've asked for more shares. "

Musk looks at everything in front of him and smiles.

"As an Internet elite, why can this Asian American writer squeeze profits from himself?"

"In the last moment of a sudden attack, even if Goldman Sachs has more means, it should be too late to use it."

Lehmann looked at representatives of Citibank and daimo, and then at Elon Musk.

"You have been communicating for a long time?"

"Ha ha." The representative of Citibank laughed. "On Wall Street, if you don't sign the final document, then you can't be sure about this part of interest."

"Lyman, go back and ask your father if that's right!"

"Why do you think that part of the benefit has been obtained?"

"Just because you're a partner at Goldman Sachs?"

The representative of Da Mo coughed and began to make ends meet.

"At present, PayPal's payment channels for banks have been completed. You know how much we have paid for these."

"Lehmann, we recognize Goldman's interests and want to be respected by Goldman."

"If you reject this offer on behalf of Goldman Sachs." He stood up and looked directly at Lehmann.

"That is, it has violated the interests of Citibank and Damo."

So, is it to kick yourself out?

Looking at the scene in the conference room, Wang Jian had his own insight.Looking at the tangled look on Lehmann's face, he remembered that he was going to be promoted to an intermediate partner of Goldman Sachs recently.

About two or three minutes later, Lehmann's face began to fade.

At this time, Elon Musk gave the last blow.

"Mr. Lehmann, if wangwen.com If it can't be a shareholder, then the 15% shares agreed by it. "

"It will be divided equally among the four of us."

After hearing this, Lyman calculated in his mind.

15% divided by 4 is 3% of PayPal shares?

If it is controlled by the website, 15% of PayPal shares and 30% of website shares...

then can Goldman's interests be protected?

Lyman turned to look at Wang Jian, looking a little ashamed, "Wang, I'm sorry."

"Judas!" Tom looked at Lyman and gritted his teeth to say a word.

Chen Shijun looked at the audience, his eyes were a little dim.

Fuck, hyenas!

Wang Jian also gritted his teeth in his heart.

In order to acquire 15% of PayPal's shares and cope with the coming tax season, how much effort did you spend to make money quickly!

To this end, even increase the pressure of twitter server to manipulate the public opinion of the first lady and real estate tycoon!

No, manipulating public opinion?

In Wang Jian's mind, it was like a flash of lightning.

The contradiction between Wall Street and Hollywood, and the past events that Wall Street had always wanted to control public opinion but could not achieve, began to appear in Wang Jian's mind.

For financial giants, which is more desirable, money or public opinion?

As for twitter, the capital of the website is not enough, and it is urgent to introduce a large amount of money.

So, what is twitter for yourself?

It's a tool for manipulating public opinion!

Wang Jian stood up and said with a smile, "since we are not welcome, we have to leave."

"After all, Twitter has attracted a lot of groups and opinions recently, which is still a headache."

"By the way," Wang Jian said casually, patting Lehmann on the shoulder, "the valuation of twitter needs to be strengthened. We are all looking forward to its listing."

"Also, there are financial elites here. May I ask you a question?"

"If a financial institution is one of the shareholders of another enterprise, does it have to be the underwriter of its listing?"

"What's more, I see that some enterprises have two or even three underwriters. How does this work?"

"In front of you, I am a financial idiot." Wang Jian gave a wry smile and shook his head. "I always feel that the power of underwriters is too great!"

"It can not only value the enterprise, but also control part of the equity of the enterprise."

"This problem is really a headache."

"Oh, yes." He stopped talking to himself.

"Today is PayPal's investment negotiation. I'm a little off topic."

"Finally, I wish you all a smooth cooperation and a strong development of PayPal."

Looking at Wang Jian's back as he left, there was a moment of silence in the conference room.

“twitter？” The project representative of Damo whispered to himself.

"Public opinion?" The representative of Citibank has a thoughtful face.

Lyman's face, however, became more ugly.

Elon Musk looked at the atmosphere of the conference room, a little nervous for a moment.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's sign the contract first. PayPal has to face the online users."

"Er," the representative of Da Mo stood up, "I forgot to inform you that there are still some technical problems with eBay and Amazon."

"For the time being, PayPal payment should not be supported."

"Yes." The representative of Citigroup added: "we... Have to sign an understanding agreement with visa."

"After all, PayPal infringes on the interests of this partner in a sense."

Lyman stood up and looked at the crowd with a gloomy face.

"I really need to discuss the current situation with the senior management."

"Ha ha, it's mainly the partners. It's too dishonest."

"So..." the representative of Citibank made a concluding speech, "we'll talk about it another day?"

"Mr. musk, I'm very sorry to ask you to come to New York from Silicon Valley." Da Mo's representative seemed sincere and said, "Da Mo will bear all your expenses in New York."

This...

I...

"what I lack is such a little capital?" Musk took a look at the crowd and walked out of the conference room with a black face.Sitting in the car to flushing, the faces of Wang Jian and his party were not much better than those of Elon Musk.

"Wang, do you really want to break with Goldman Sachs?" Tom asked in a low voice.

"Break?" Wang Jian shook his head. "Why should we?"

"It's just that musk gave me a little inspiration."

"If Twitter is entirely underwritten by Goldman Sachs, it's open to question whether it belongs to Goldman Sachs or the website."

"Take a look at Apple. A single major shareholder can drive out the founders."

"Twitter, on the other hand, has no stable profit model."

"Tom, do you want to be Steve Jobs?"
