Rather...

At this critical moment, he was fired by the Osborne Group.

Sitting in his office, Connors stroked these cold instruments. These were the fruits of his nearly twenty years of hard work!

But everything in the cross-species genetic experiment office belonged to the Osborn Group, and he could take nothing away.

I clearly saw hope, but why did I have to let myself fall into despair again at this time...

"What should I do? What should I do?"

……

in the room.

Bai Ye walked out wearing a white bath towel, holding a towel in his hand and wiping his wet hair.

Later, Andy also came out wearing a bathrobe, with her long black hair hanging down over her shoulders.

The bathrobe fluttered, revealing a pair of long, round and straight legs, which was quite tempting.

"Let me help you dry your hair!"

Bai Ye smiled and picked up the hair dryer to help Andy dry her hair. After about three minutes, the buzzing sound disappeared and her hair was dry.

"All right."

Bai Ye let Andy go.

Andy smoothed his hair, which was soft and silky.

Bai Ye started to blow dry his hair: "You want to leave now? Don't you want to thank me?"

Andy gave Bai Ye an expression that said "I can't do anything about you" and kissed him on the cheek:

"Okay?"

In the living room, Andy snuggled in Bai Ye's arms, and the two watched TV together.

"Who lives in the big pineapple in the deep sea..."

But under the incandescent light of the living room, you can clearly see that Andy's pair of slender and strong legs have turned from wheat color to red at the knees for some reason. Maybe he fell.

After a while, Bai Ye received a message from Giorgi Casas: "Master Bai Ye, everything is done."

A smile appeared on Bai Ye's lips.

Andy complained: "Bai Ye, you are so childish. You are already so grown up, but you still like to watch SpongeBob SquarePants?"

"Hey, what you said, is it okay for me to have a childlike heart?" Bai Ye put his hand into Andy's collar very skillfully and said, "And you are also enjoying it, right?"

I don't quite understand why some people empathize with Connors and say that my writing is disgusting? It makes me very confused. I never wrote that the protagonist is a good person, right? He is an ancestor, he can do whatever he wants, he is not a superman, don't put the superman label of truth, goodness and beauty on the protagonist! ! ! If you look closely at the Amazing Spider 2, you will find that this person is not innocent. It is very likely that Connors betrayed the Richards. He is now leading the experiment himself, but later he found that he was not talented enough, so he was desperate and did not dare to face Parker... In addition, in Chapter 100, didn't someone say that if you dare to blackmail, you will have a back-up plan and you are not afraid of the protagonist's revenge? The whole logic is wrong, and the number of likes is very high, so I wrote it? Why did you madly scold me for being a mess after writing it, and rewrite a chapter? But did you really reread it? There is only the beginning, and there are only two points. The latter part is about Wendy's fear and Morgan's back-up plan. As for the large part of the latter part, it is about the impact of the whole big event. Did I rewrite 80% of the whole chapter? I'm not Sister Li. If I check for plagiarism, the rate of plagiarism will not exceed %. I spent the same amount of time writing both chapters... And if I encounter this kind of thing again, should I explain it or not? You guys are making me so confused!

Chapter 104 I’m going to be frank. I won’t pretend anymore. I’m an ancestor!

"It's okay to have a childlike heart..." But Andy felt that Bai Ye's most coquettish thing was: "Why do you have to watch SpongeBob SquarePants with Chinese dubbing?"

Bai Ye laughed playfully: "Don't you think the Chinese dubbing, plus SpongeBob, makes it even more magical?"

"It seems... too."

Andy was watching the SpongeBob SquarePants video on TV, where Patrick put his butt on the fishhook...

Nothing to say.

I feel like the Chinese version of SpongeBob is more sexy.

"Although SpongeBob looks childish, he actually has a lot of thought-provoking words, right?" Bai Ye said, "Just like what Mr. Krabs said - if you always let others step on your head, you will never get what you want."

Andy nodded too.

Because SpongeBob SquarePants is not a cartoon for children. Instead, it has grown along with its former audience, and with the mixture of various elements and even some signs of Cthulhu mythology, it is almost becoming a cartoon that is not suitable for children to watch.

"Hahahahaha!"

Bai Ye hugged Andy, looked at SpongeBob and laughed, while playing with the big white pearls with his hands.

"How are your preparations for acquiring several game studios going?"

Bai Ye asked lazily.

"We are in the process of contacting them," Andy said. "Because the price we offer is high enough, I guess many of them are willing to be acquired by us. After all, there are only a few independent game studios that can make it, and most of them don't do well. When a quasi-unicorn like Snap is willing to extend an olive branch, how many people can refuse?"

"That's good." Bai Ye said, "It's too slow for Snap to rely solely on traffic promotion to gain users. It still needs to be more clever to take a different approach. So of course it would be better to let Snap develop a few popular social games to find another way and take advantage of the opportunity."

Thanks to the existence of Tianmei Studio, Andy no longer doubts Bai Ye's ability to design games. As long as it is Bai Ye's idea, even if the design seems shitty to others, Andy will resolutely implement it, because it can make money. "Minecraft" has made a game company that was established not long ago become a quasi-unicorn enterprise. It's amazing, right?

"You gave me two games, Plants vs. Zombies and Angry Birds. Which one should be released first?"

Andy asked.

"Can't we develop two games at the same time?" Bai Ye scratched his head and said, "The production costs of these two games shouldn't be very high!"

Bai Ye himself still remembers that "Plants vs. Zombies" is a free game. The production team PopCap claimed that they only spent a small amount of money to develop the game. Later it was revealed that they spent about 150 million US dollars.

Specifically, PopCap's founders used very little money to create a prototype of the game and released it to the App Store for free. The game's design, art, music, and programming staff all worked for PopCap for free, and their salaries and development time were waived. Therefore, the total cost of game production is relatively low, which is also an important reason why PopCap hopes to allow more people to participate in game production.

After its release, Plants vs. Zombies sold more than 1.35 million copies worldwide and brought hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue to the developer PopCap. In the end, Plants vs. Zombies was acquired by EA for $7.5 million. If it had not been acquired and continued to operate, it would have made at least more than $10 billion.

The production cost of Angry Birds is not high. According to reports, the production cost of the Angry Birds game is less than 70000 pounds. The development team Rovio Entertainment also said that the production cost of the Angry Birds game is only about 10 euros.

Rovio Entertainment has soared to fame thanks to the game Angry Birds, which has continued to grow in sales and reached a record high of $2018 million in 2.823. According to estimates by some analysts, the total revenue from the Angry Birds game may have exceeded $10 billion. Rovio Entertainment's overall valuation has reached $40 billion.

"Are you a fool?" Andy looked at Bai Ye speechlessly and said, "The production costs of these two games are not high, but the publicity and promotion costs are not necessarily the same! Good wine needs no bush, so we must invest heavily in publicity resources. As for Snap, it has just emerged and is not strong enough. At most, it can promote one game with all its strength to ensure the success rate of a hit. And... even if Snap has the ability to promote two games at the same time, but... is it fun to fight against each other? If two hit games collide with each other, it will distract players' attention. Originally, both of them had the potential to become hits, but in the end, maybe neither of them could become a hit? So there must be a focus, seize one to promote first, and then see how the next one goes."

"That's it..."

Bai Ye pondered for a moment and said:

"Then we should start by producing and promoting Angry Birds."

Because the production cost of "Angry Birds" seems to be much lower than that of "Plants vs. Zombies", and its ability to make money is even higher than that of "Plants vs. Zombies". Otherwise, why could the manufacturer of "Angry Birds" finally get a valuation of 40 billion US dollars, while the manufacturer of "Plants vs. Zombies" sold itself completely for 7.5 million US dollars?

"It's all up to you."

Andy nodded. She was not an expert in games, so she decided to listen to Bai Ye, because Bai Ye seemed to have never failed in this area so far.

Bai Ye also continued:

"In addition, if the Angry Birds game wants to be successful, it should not only consider the design and entertainment of the game itself, but also pay attention to marketing strategies, build brand awareness, and strive to build this game into a global brand. In this way, it can obtain long-tail effects and bring long-term and considerable commercial benefits to Snap..."

Just like that, Bai Ye and Andy began chatting and discussing the commercial operation of Snap.

As for Kurt Connors...

Bai Ye won't care anymore.

He and Kurt Connors had no friendship, and Kurt Connors had never provided him with any value. They were complete strangers, and Bai Ye had no moral burden towards Kurt Connors.

Osborn and Kurt Connors are partners, not vassals with life-related relationships. Osborn provided Connors with 20 years of time and $20 billion in funding, but did not achieve any results. It was a real achievement, so Osborn's dismissal of Kurt Connors was a normal business behavior. No matter how hard you try, you can't find any fault with it. Bai Ye has never understood a logic. Why does a master adopt an apprentice, raise him like his own son, and teach him martial arts? In the end, the master has to risk his life to save the apprentice because the apprentice got into trouble, and let the apprentice live a life of love with a beautiful woman? Isn't this a humiliation? The apprentice owes the master, the grace of raising him and teaching him martial arts. The master never owes the apprentice anything...

As for whether Connors's lizard serum will eventually succeed, Bai Ye doesn't know, but Bai Ye already has a better choice, the Extremis virus, so why should he play with the youth version of the lizard serum? Whether it is the strengthening effect or the final success of the research and development, the advantages of the Extremis virus are far superior to the lizard serum. He must be mentally ill to continue to invest heavily in supporting Connors's lizard serum. The two sera are invested in duplication, which is a huge waste of resources.

Even if the Extremis virus is successful and commercialized, the output value will be at most a few billion dollars, and it is impossible to be more, because the cost of these things is doomed, and it is impossible to popularize it and let everyone use it. Only a very small number of people can use it. Just like the strongest military industry in the United States in Bai Ye's previous life, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, researched firecrackers and F22, which are actually ten times or a hundred times more powerful than the Extremis virus, but the market value is only close to billion US dollars. Why? The cost is too expensive. How can you make a lot of money from something that can't be civilianized! Tony's Ark Reactor is an exception. It is an energy source, a new energy source with the potential to overturn oil capital...

Even if Connors's lizard serum can create value and bring profits to Osborn, as Bai Ye said to Wendy, the interests of the American financial tycoons are not the same as Osborn's interests, because the biggest beneficiaries of America's war are financial capital, oil capital and the military-industrial complex, and medical capital like Osborn does not make much profit. Osborn's interests are not the same as Bai Ye's interests, because the Osborn family only holds 26.93% of the shares of the Osborn Group, not 100% control.

——When Facebook and Google were growing rapidly, more than half of their profits were used to acquire many very promising startups each year. They were not used to develop them, but were thrown into the warehouse after being bought, and the projects were closed to kill competitors... From the perspective of maximizing benefits, the Osborn family can get 100% of the profits from Bai Ye's AIM enhanced human project, while the Osborn Group's enhanced human project can only get 26% of the profits. Even if Norman Osborn knew what Bai Ye did, he would probably just scold Bai Ye for being a traitor. He would probably be relieved that Bai Ye has become a qualified capitalist! Because the Osborn family has long been no lack of money, even if the Osborn Group explodes on the spot, Norman Osborn will not be poor, because even if the shares of the Osborn Group are not counted, the money in the Osborn Family Foundation has tens of billions of dollars, which is enough for Bai Ye and Harry to squander for several lifetimes. The issue that Norman Osborn is more concerned about should still be whether Bai Ye and Harry have become useful.

So, Bai Ye kicked Kurt Connors out. As for what Kurt Connors planned to do afterwards, it had nothing to do with Bai Ye. Whether he wanted to give up the research on lizard serum and concentrate on becoming a biology professor at a prestigious university and a social elite, or whether he wanted to continue the research on lizard serum and steal some of the data and instruments belonging to Osborn, evade the patents in Osborn's hands, and violate the regulations to conduct secret experiments on his own, it was all Kurt Connors' own business, his own choice, and he was responsible for it.

Of course, Bai Ye also admitted that he had a tendency to lead Connors towards evil, and he was not a good person. Therefore, Bai Ye said... Let's be frank, I won't pretend anymore, I am the kind of man who can do whatever I want!

If you are not a good person, but if you are not even a bad person... how can you survive in society like this? In the end, you will become a useless waste?

Bai Ye had a very miserable life in his previous life, and now he has to be bound by so many rules and regulations in this life. Isn’t it tiring?

This is not Northern Europe. Being a saint is a career. Is there money to be made? Do you really think that the Nordic countries are born with so much truth, goodness and beauty? Wrong. They have private interests, so there are so many saints. If there is no interest, no idiot would become a saint.

At least Bai Ye had a bottom line. He didn't just inject the semi-finished lizard serum into Kurt Connors's veins. He simply... fired him. What's the big deal? As for Connors' future life, unless it involves Bai Ye's interests again, Bai Ye will not pay attention, interfere, or comment. It's none of his business!

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Bai Ye was having breakfast with Andy when Johnny called.

"Hey?"

Bai Ye was eating fruit after dinner, chewing a peach. He took a bite and it was so juicy and sweet. Then he answered the phone.

"Where are you?"

Johnny asked.

"I'm at home, what's wrong?" Bai Ye asked casually, "Are you going to borrow money again?"

"This time it's not about borrowing money, it's about paying it back." Johnny said, "Since you're at home, come out and have fun, and I'll pay you back while you're at it."

"How can you possibly pay me back so quickly? Are you not going to pay the fine?"

Bai Ye said in surprise.

The last time Johnny came to Bai Ye to borrow $1000, Bai Ye knew what it was about right away. It must be because the New York City Police Department accidentally caught Johnny during a sweep and asked him to pay a fine!

Before, Bai Ye asked Johnny how much was the largest sum of money he had ever spent on his beloved woman. He said $599. Bai Ye knew that this guy must be a regular at the massage parlor, and he gave him the title of Bath Emperor in his notes - as the saying goes, technician No. 5 dances on my body, just because I drive a CT.

"Who am I? Do I need to pay any fine? Bai Ye, you underestimate me. Not only did I not pay their fines, but they even had to give me money!" Johnny said arrogantly, "It's hard to explain over the phone. Let's talk face to face and you'll know. It's just a bunch of NYPD. I can handle it easily."

"Then you are awesome!"

Bai Ye smiled and shook his head:

"Wait, give me another hour. I'll come to see you after I finish my morning exercise."

"Then hurry up!" Johnny chuckled, "Don't dawdle all day long!"

"That's better than you." Bai Ye retorted, "You're always whining!"

Johnny: “…”

"Bye."

Johnny stopped arguing with Bai Ye because Bai Ye was too eloquent and he couldn't win the argument.

after an hour.

Bai Ye walked out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe, and came to the sofa in the living room. He sat down with his legs crossed, picked up the remote control and turned on the LCD TV, then took a big sip of the warm water next to him.

On the other side, Andy was busy changing his clothes.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Bai Ye looked at Andy's outfit and praised with a smile.

Andy was seen wearing a black suspender top, a skirt, and a small suit jacket. The overall color was black, but it also showed a sense of layering.

For the top, she chose a shorter style, which can create a better body proportion visually and also help to highlight her temperament. In addition, Andy has a slender figure, so her overall temperament is also better.

A pair of silver-white high-heeled sandals can not only lengthen the lines of her legs, but also highlight her elegant temperament.

As for accessories, she chose delicate and small earrings. The silver-white earrings not only contrast with the black, but also enhance her temperament and complexion, making Andy look more elegant.

"How dare you say such sarcastic things here? I must be late for work!" Andy was ashamed and angry: "Damn it, I'll bite you to death!"

As she spoke, Andy's pretty face still had a residual blush on it, and she really pounced on Bai Ye with a fierce look in her eyes. She pressed Bai Ye down on the sofa and bit Bai Ye's neck hard several times.

"Alright, alright, I was wrong. Is that not enough?" Bai Ye raised his hands in surrender and said, "If you continue to argue with me, the whole morning might be wasted!"

Andy was still thinking about his career after all, and he put away his sharp teeth with the remaining anger:

"Wait until I come back tonight and I'll deal with you."

Andy buttoned up his clothes, glared at Bai Ye fiercely, then turned and left the house.

"Tsk, when you come back at night, it's not certain who will take care of whom."

Bai Ye sneered.

Andy is also known as "Teacher Bai", but in fact her actual fighting ability is no match for Teacher Bai and she is easily defeated by Bai Ye.

Bai Ye took another big sip of warm water and watched TV. Suddenly, Johnny called again:

"When are you coming out? I've been waiting for you for a long time! Damn, it's almost noon, isn't it?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Bai Ye said, "I just took a break and drank some water, and you're rushing me. Are you trying to hurry me? Okay, I'll be right out."
