Well, the public membership channel held by Miranda Kerr is very expensive. Even Malay Heshen can only afford one year's membership fee.
"And as soon as I saw Evan Spiegel's expression, I knew he couldn't control Miranda Kerr, a hottie. Sooner or later, he would be labeled as a badass. I don't know what he was thinking. With Snap, he can be considered a wealthy man. Why would he want to go into the entertainment industry and work with female models? Isn't she the campus belle of Stanford University attractive?"
Wendy shook her head.
"This kind of thing is like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold. Maybe he is just burning with anger because of Miranda Kerr?"
Bai Ye shrugged.
Honestly speaking, if Bai Ye were in Evan Spiegel's position, it would be better for him not to get married. A woman like Miranda Kerr is fine to play with, but how can he really marry her?
Look at Ma and Musk, they choose girlfriends that are all the most beautiful female stars. When they get tired of playing with them for two years, they just change to another one. How can rich people still hang themselves on a tree?
Wendy rolled her eyes at Bai Ye and said, "Just don't go looking for them, just give them the injection secretly."
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Bai Ye said confidently, "I'm not that kind of person. Ahem, speaking of the general operating model of Snap, do you understand it?"
"Of course I understand. It's so simple, but I still don't understand? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Wendy said, "When I invested in Lofis, I was investing in China's Internet venture capital! Snap is a new Internet social platform that focuses on private social networking and quickly attracts users by skirting the rules."
There is nothing much to say about things like skirting the rules, but almost all companies in the Internet industry started out by skirting the rules, because food, sex and nature are part of human nature.
Bai Ye: "Then I will set up a Mercury Network Technology Company, put both Tianmei Studio and Snap in it, and register them under the Mercury Media. You will be the CEO of Mercury Network Technology Company."
Internet companies like to brag that they are technology companies, but in Bai Ye's opinion, Internet companies are actually more like a new type of media company, at least before the 6G and 7G era. Calling themselves technology companies should be more of a reflection of the strong support of countries around the world for high-tech, so that technology companies can more easily get subsidies.
So why do Internet companies basically rely on advertising fees to survive? If a company relies on advertising fees, what else is it but media? Why do people talk about "Internet +"? This is because media companies can naturally combine with any industry, because all industries need publicity.
This is what Bai Ye thought and defined it this way. Although the new company was named Mercury Network Technology, it was essentially defined as Internet media, which complemented the traditional media in Ikana's hands.
At least a real technology company, Bai Ye felt, should be one like Pym Technologies.
Bai Ye was planning to establish Neptune Technology, with the goal of acquiring a real technology company like Pym Technology. Oh, Pym Technology's current name should be Kraus Technology. Kraus Technology's current CEO, Darren Kraus, was once Hank Pym's apprentice in the early days of the company. However, Darren and Hank eventually parted ways, and Darren usurped control of Hank Pym's company and became the company's CEO.
- Hank Pym felt that the Pym particles were too dangerous after his wife the Wasp fell into the quantum world during a mission, so he decided to shelve the Pym particle technology. This was seriously contrary to the ideas of Darren Krauss and the shareholders of Pym Technologies, so Hank Pym was out and Darren Krauss continued to study the Pym particles in depth and tried to uncover the secrets of the quantum world day and night.
"The company is affiliated with Mercury Media?" Wendy pursed her lips and said, "Doesn't that mean I have to stay under your Ikana forever?"
"Oh, it's just a title now. You don't have to really listen to what she says. The company is in its pioneering stage now. Both of you are developing at a high speed. It's important to grab the market in time." Bai Ye said, "When both of you have completed your business, you two will be the rotating CEOs of Mercury Media, and your status will be equal."
"Wendy, think about it. When your Internet media reaches its limit and Ikana's traditional media reaches its limit, and they are merged together, they will be a behemoth with a market value of at least $100 billion. Moreover, the various companies are classified into various categories and are complicated. There are at least hundreds of branches under them. If you are alone and have no one to cooperate with you, can you really manage such a huge media giant?"
"Okay..." Wendy said reluctantly.
"Look at your little face, it's almost wrinkled. Let me tell you another good news." Bai Ye said, "I have planned to acquire Twitter and merge it with Snap to form an Internet giant. It was only because Stark Group sold its F22 manufacturing department and the people from Koch Industries held me back that I temporarily put the plan aside. Now, I have more spare money, so it's time to start the plan to acquire Twitter."
"Acquiring Twitter?" Wendy asked in surprise, "Am I also responsible for this?"
Twitter is now a small Internet giant with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars, while the combined market value of Snap and Tianmei Studios is estimated to be around 50 billion US dollars, which is only a quarter of the size of Twitter.
If Wendy could take charge of Twitter, it would be a great opportunity to rise to the top.
"What else?" Bai Ye spread his hands and said, "Didn't I tell you that I'll leave everything in the Internet media business to you."
Bai Ye also set his sights on Twitter very early on and prepared to acquire it. After all, after the acquisition, he could ban anyone he wanted. How cool!
……
back home.
Bai Ye and Wendy found that Na Lan had returned home from get off work and was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"You two are back?" Na Lan heard the sound of the door opening, turned around to look at Bai Ye and Wendy, and immediately asked curiously: "Wendy, you are smiling so hard that your face is about to break. What good thing happened? Did you pick up some money on the way back?"
"Tsk, Nalan, you are so vulgar. Do you have to be happy because you found money? Can't it be because your career has reached a new level?" Wendy said arrogantly: "Nalan, do you know Twitter?"
"I know." Na Lan blinked and nodded: "It's the American version of Weibo!"
"Wrong!" Wendy corrected, "Weibo is the Chinese version of Twitter, don't get it wrong."
If it were in the past, Wendy would not have refuted Lan's statement at all, but now Twitter is not hers, so of course she has to be responsible for Twitter's reputation.
It's just like if you have 1 million you can donate to society, but if you have 10,000 you don't donate, why? Because you really have 10,000!
Seeing Wendy's extremely excited look, Na Lan was too lazy to refute: "So what? I know Twitter, so what? Did you reach 100 million Twitter followers of Tianmei Studio?"
"Haha, is there anything worth being happy about? Guess again."
"Forget it. I won't guess anymore!"
Lan would never tolerate Wendy's smug look.
"Okay, okay, since you asked sincerely, I will be merciful and tell you." Wendy said, "Twitter is mine!"
"What? It's yours?" Na Lan was confused. "Twitter is such a big company, how come it's yours?"
"My company is going to acquire Twitter and establish a large-scale Internet media company. Twitter will then be mine!" Wendy said arrogantly.
"Ah?" Na Lan looked at Wendy, then at Bai Ye, and immediately understood: "Master Osborne, you are really willing to buy Twitter as a toy for Wendy?"
Her Jupiter Agriculture assets are only 10 billion US dollars, and Wendy is about to acquire a small Internet giant with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars, a gap of 20 times!
This gap is too big.
"It's not that I'm biased, but this is my strategy. I wanted to buy Twitter before, but Osborne lacked sufficient channels to express his opinions!" Bai Ye said, "Although I could maintain good relationships with those media giants before, I think nothing is better than having it in my own hands."
"Okay, stop arguing. Do you want to have dinner? If you want to have dinner, come and help me pick some vegetables. I will cook for you tonight."
Na Lan had no choice but to temporarily put aside her envy, jealousy and hatred towards Wendy and help Bai Ye cook dinner together with Wendy.
Dinner was also very simple. The three of them got together to make pickled fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, cola chicken wings, stir-fried beef, stir-fried king oyster mushrooms, and stir-fried broccoli with black fungus.
Wendy and Na Lan are Chinese, and Bai Ye also has a Chinese soul, so it is just right for them to eat these things.
The dinner table.
Bai Ye took out a document, handed it to Wendy, and said:
"This is the plan we prepared for the acquisition of Twitter. You can take a look at it and study it carefully. In addition, the time is different, so some adjustments must be made to the above content. It depends on your ability."
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Wendy took the plan with confidence.
Na Lan: "Master, this is not fair, I want one too!"
"Hmm?" Bai Ye looked at Lan in confusion: "What do you want?"
"You spent $200 billion to help Wendy's acquire Twitter, I want one too." Na Lan said, "How about we use Jupiter Agriculture to acquire Cargill?"
"Dream on!" Bai Ye knocked Lan's head with chopsticks: "Dreams can bring anything!"
Cargill is the "C" among the four major grain traders ABCD. Cargill is also the world's largest privately held company, the world's largest grain trading company, the world's largest livestock breeding company, the largest corn feed processor in the United States, the third largest flour processor in the United States, and the third largest grain exporter in France. Its market value is at least $100 billion. Like Koch Industries, it is a rising star among America's private companies.
Bai Ye had just taken over Koch Industries and had not yet had time to digest it. At this time, Andy and Felicia were still busy adjusting the organizational structure of Venus Energy. If Bai Ye acquired Cargill at this time, not to mention whether other American capitalists would be furious, Bai Ye himself did not have enough talent reserves to support the Galaxy Group in digesting Cargill.
"Humph!"
That Lan snorted softly.
Well, actually, she didn’t think that Bai Ye would acquire Cargill just by listening to her words. As the saying goes, only the crying child gets the milk.
While Wendy and Na Lan were concentrating on their meal, Bai Ye took out his mobile phone and checked Twitter while eating.
The video of the evil ghost vs. the blue devil was very popular and circulated wildly on major websites. The public strongly condemned the government's inaction on the super villain incident.
A small number of extremists demanded the death penalty for the evil spirits.
It’s just that there are now a lot of Virgin Marys in America, and the abolitionist faction has an overwhelming advantage over the extreme death penalty faction.
The abolitionists say that the death penalty will cause irreparable injustice, that two-thirds of the countries in the world have abolished the death penalty, and that the death penalty has no deterrent effect.
Those who insist on the death penalty also have corresponding views, such as there are still unjust, false and wrong cases without the death penalty, we should be cautious in killing and presume innocence, rather than not killing; 2/3 of the countries in the world have abolished the death penalty is a very general statement, the abolitionists have included countries that have the death penalty but rarely use it, they are so shameless. Even so, there are countries with 2/3 of the world's population that have not abolished the death penalty; Brazil and Mexico: you see, we abolished the death penalty, but only a hundred or so mayors died, don't mention the police to me, they are in cahoots with drug dealers, oh, actually we are too, hahahaha.
Bai Ye watched with great interest as both sides held their own opinions and argued fiercely, enjoying the discussion very much. It was so interesting.
After eating the melon, Bai Ye read some news about the Doom Group.
Victor Doom has been having a miserable time recently, extremely miserable!
Because of the investment in Reed Richards' space program, $10 billion, a full $10 billion was wasted. You know, even the total market value of the Doom Group is only more than $20 billion.
Of the $10 billion, half is the Doom Group's free funds, and the other half is bank loans. After being manipulated by Reed, the Doom Group is now in a dead end with both its stocks and bonds suffering.
Victor von Doom was born in Latveria, a small country in Eastern Europe. His mother was a gypsy witch. When Doom's mother was seeking magical power, her soul was taken away by the great evil Mephisto. Doom was determined to free his mother's soul from Mephisto since he was a child.
He came to study at Empire State College in New York. During his college career, Doom maintained a competitive relationship with Reed Richards. Finally, he graduated with excellent grades second only to Reed Richards. After graduation, he started his own business. Relying on his own intelligence and superb management skills, he brought the Doom Group to its current market value of more than 20 billion US dollars. It is one of NASA's contract contractors.
When his future seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, he met Reed, a jerk who brought him back to his original form in an instant.
In addition to the bankruptcy of the Doom Group, he also discovered that his current girlfriend, Susan Storm, had reconciled with Reed Richards during this space trip.
In other words, not only did Reed cheat him of his money, he also stole his girlfriend and plundered everything that belonged to him. He simply tortured Doom to death.
Bai Ye paid special attention to Victor Doom because he was about to become Doctor Doom and he could earn some points.
"Has any shareholder of Doom Corporation died of electrocution?"
Bai Ye touched his chin and said.
He knew that Victor Doom had gone into space with Reed Richards and Johnny and had also acquired extraordinary powers, electric current control, and body metalization.
This is almost like Johnny Torch's abilities combined with the Thing's abilities.
So Johnny and the rest of the Fantastic Four, in a 4VS1, were almost beaten to death by Doom, because Doom's dual powers were really awesome, but they were no match for the intelligence and aura of the protagonist of D'Angelohi.
Even so, Doom's life form was evolving towards a higher dimension. Even if Reed burned him into carbon, it could not stop Victor Doom from resurrecting and coming back again.
"Doom Group?" Na Lan saw the content on Bai Ye's phone and asked curiously, "Is it the company related to the Fantastic Four?"
"Yeah, you know that too?"
"Of course I know. Who in New York doesn't know the Fantastic Four? They are so popular now!" The blue god said mysteriously, "I also downloaded a rare video of the Fantastic Four and the Human Torch into my USB drive! I'll show it to you after dinner."
"Johnny's out-of-print video?" Bai Ye blinked and said, "You mean the action movie he shot with Kim Kardashian?"
"Uh, you knew that too?"
Wendy: "What nonsense! Lan and Bai Ye are Johnny's good friends!"
Na Lan: "So you have seen that video?"
Bai Ye: "Not only have I seen it, I also have the latest version, the 1VS action movie he filmed with Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian. I'll show it to you after dinner!"
"Okay, okay!"*2
Next, after dinner, the three of them sat in front of the TV and watched the action movie shot by New York superhero Johnny that Bai Ye played.
When Wendy and Na Lan saw this large-scale, big-scene action movie, they were so excited... They were so excited that they imitated Bai Ye based on what they knew from the movie!
Chapter 183: The people you can’t let go of have already been put in by others.
The next day.
It was Wendy who woke up first.
When she woke up, she found herself lying on the floor with her head resting on Bai Ye's chest.
And Lan slept opposite her.
The two were hugged by Bai Ye on both sides.
Because of Wendy's action, Na Lan also woke up. She looked at Wendy in confusion and kissed her casually:
"Morning, Wendy."
"What are you doing!"
Wendy suddenly screamed, which scared Lan.
Even Bai Ye was frightened by Wendy and sat up: "What happened?"
The blue head came to his senses, but he remembered what happened and looked embarrassed.
Last night, Na Lan and Wendy Baiye watched the love action movie shot by Johnny, Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian. They were so excited by the movie that they started to learn it.
In addition to the two of them sticking their butts out in front of Bai Ye, Wendy and Na Lan also imitated Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian and kissed each other.
Na Lan, who had just woken up, was still groggy and had not yet recovered from the imitation show last night. When he woke up, he looked at Wendy's face in a daze and kissed her.
Who would have expected Wendy to react so strongly?
It almost scared her to death.
Wendy's pretty face flushed red. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, gave Na Lan a fierce look, and hurried to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and brush her teeth.
Na Lan was so embarrassed that he ran back to his room.
