"We are all Bai Ye's ex-girlfriends? Really, I didn't know this before!" Ikana glanced at Bai Ye and said, "But this is normal. In the whole of New York, Bai Ye's ex-girlfriends, if not thousands, there must be hundreds, right?"

"Yeah, it's normal."

Amanda also glanced at Bai Ye, and she seemed to be gritting her teeth when she spoke.

Depend on!

You two were arguing, why are you suddenly bringing me into this?

"Ikana, um... I heard that you founded a jewelry company and created your own brand, and the valuation has reached 3000 million US dollars?"

Bai Ye quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, I am the designer myself, taking the light luxury route, and also planning to expand into perfume, clothing, shoes, bags and accessories!" Ikana smiled and said, "You know, I worked as a model for a while and accumulated a lot of popularity. It would be a pity to leave it unused, so I created a personal brand to monetize the traffic and earn some pocket money. Who knew that it would gradually grow bigger and bigger? It's really a headache!"

"But I heard that the lead investor in Ikana Jewelry's Series A investment was your father's company?"

Amanda said mercilessly.

"That's right, family background is also a kind of strength!" Ikana shrugged and admitted it without hesitation, saying, "After all, I'm not like Bai Ye, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and can control a huge giant company just by joining his family's company without doing anything."

This is obviously talking about Bai Ye, but the person he is actually talking about is clearly Amanda.

Amanda's chest rose and fell. This little bitch was obviously saying that although she relied on her family background, it was not much, while she relied entirely on her family background...

Humph, as a direct descendant of a large family, I have no chance to go out and make a living. I can only inherit the family business honestly. Do you think the Hearst family is as free as your family?

If I were to go out and make my way in the world, I would definitely be much better than you!

No!

When arguing, you must not follow the other person's rhythm.

A world-renowned military strategist once said, "There is nothing mysterious about fighting. If you can win, fight. If you can't win, retreat. You fight yours and I fight mine. All strategies and tactics, in the end, are nothing more than these four sentences."

Amanda rolled her eyes and decided to open a new battlefield: "Ikana, I remember that you are doing very well in the modeling circle. You are a supermodel who has appeared in major magazines. You must be knowledgeable. I heard that the modeling circle is very chaotic. Do you have any inside information to share with us? I am very curious!"

Ikana's eyes narrowed.

Amanda's move is very dark.

It is true that the modeling industry is very chaotic, and it is also true that she has seen a lot. However, if she reveals some of the inside stories of the modeling industry in front of Bai Ye, then even if she does nothing, it will inevitably cause Bai Ye to have many unwanted associations and damage her image in Bai Ye's heart.

Ikana wants to play a perfect female role in Bai Ye's heart.

Otherwise, ordinary women would at most become playthings, so how could they be qualified to marry into the Osborne family?

"Maybe there are insider information or something, but I only want to make money. I'm not an ordinary naive girl. How can I have the mind to listen to gossip?"

Ikana said lightly.

The pressure is put on Amanda again. Is Ikana saying that Amanda is a childish little girl who likes gossip?

Bai Ye listened for a while and felt the flashing of swords and the murderous aura coming towards him.

too frightening.

Is this the world that belongs to the truly strong?

Although there are no real swords or guns, the murderous aura is even more fierce!

The two of them became angrier and angrier as they talked, and they moved closer and closer. Bai Ye was afraid that they would start fighting on the spot, so he quickly stood between them, separated them, and said:

"Amanda, there are more guests coming, go greet them."

Looking in the direction Bai Ye pointed, he saw Barron Hilton, the head of the Hilton family, coming over.

Even though Amanda was filled with anger, she could only look at Ikana with hatred, and walked to greet the guests in her high heels.

"Oh, you delicate little princess, you want to fight me, who's afraid of who?"

There was a hint of smug smile in Ikana's eyes.

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief after watching Amanda leave. Compared to Ikana who had kept him in suspense, Amanda's crazy personality was even more unbearable.

"Bai Ye, don't get too close to Amanda. This woman is too emotionally unstable. Being with her is like sitting on a powder keg that's about to explode. Who knows when this kind of woman will go crazy?"

Ikana started to criticize Amanda without hesitation.

But we can't say that Ikana is brainless in her criticism, because madness and rebellion are rooted in the deepest genes of the Hearst family.

The founder of the Hearst Group, William Hearst, was an extremely crazy guy who would do anything to make money. Pulitzer, the ancestor of modern journalists, was driven to his death by him and almost went bankrupt. He also instigated the Cuban War between the United States and Cuba and promoted the explosion of the USS Maine. Even the assassination of US President McKinley was said by many to be related to him.

Of course, the most famous person in the Hearst family is Amanda's aunt, Patty Hearst, who was once kidnapped by a left-wing radical organization. Later, events took a dramatic turn. Patty announced that she would join the organization, breaking with her family and class, and fell in love with a member of the organization.

Later, she was caught on camera participating in a bank robbery in San Francisco. She was arrested in September 1974 and sentenced to seven years in prison for her involvement in the bank robbery, but was later pardoned by US President Jimmy Carter and served only 9 months in prison.

"Stop it. If Amanda hears you saying this, she will fight you right there and then."

Bai Ye sighed and gave her a look, letting her experience it herself:

"Do you think you are a pushover?"

At that time, Ikana clearly used the high-level prostitute skills she had just learned on Bai Ye, trying to make Bai Ye her bootlicker.

But who is Bai Ye? He is used to seeing the romantic places, and he can see Ikana's mind at a glance. Can he indulge her? So he is too lazy to entangle with her and ignores her directly.

Do you think he is the singer Pan and is so easy to fool?

To be honest, when Bai Ye smelled that scent on Ikana, he wondered if Ikana had studied in Sister Amy's socialite class.

Well, Bai Ye has also seen Principal Wang’s circle of friends: “Oh my god, Sister Amy is still amazing. She has two great generals around her. One is married to the king of pop Guo, and the other is married to the singer Pan. She is so talented.”

"Then I'm better than Amanda!" Ikana said: "Hey, Bai Ye, can we make up? You haven't talked to me for several years! How many years can a girl's youth last? Play again If I go down, I'll be old."

Well, ever since breaking up with Ikana, Bai Ye has been avoiding her.

After all, there are so many beautiful women in the world. Even without Ikana, there are still many women throwing themselves at Bai Ye.

Goodbye, bye, the next one will be better.

"Well... okay, I won't hide from you anymore."

Bai Ye blinked and said.

If Ikana didn't want to use her high-class prostitution skills on him as she did in the past, he would still be very happy to get along with Ikana. After all, Ikana's figure was absolutely impeccable.

Moreover, her figure seems to have undergone a secondary development in the past two years, becoming even hotter than before.

This body... slurp, it’s not impossible for him to try licking it again.

"I knew you would still be reluctant to part with me."

Ikana chuckled.

This woman's ambition is similar to Wendy's. She will never be content to marry an ordinary man and live a dull life. What she wants is a magnificent life, a life of holding power and decisive killing.

In the eyes of ordinary people, she is already a winner in life as she was born to inherit billions of dollars. However, Ikana knows that in the eyes of the real upper class in America, her family is nothing but a joke. Any financial turmoil can cause the Trebron family to go bankrupt.

So if Ikana wanted to cross the class barrier, the best way she could think of was to marry a particularly powerful man, and the Osborne family was the best choice.

As the strongest medical complex in the United States, the birth, aging, illness and death of many dignitaries are all related to Osborn. Therefore, Osborn can be regarded as one of the top dignitaries in the United States. As long as she marries Bai Ye, she will be immediately promoted from a kingdom noble who kneels to welcome the Celestial Dragons to a world noble Celestial Dragon. She can also try to see if she can take over Osborn's power. If she can inherit the Osborn Group and be promoted to one of the most powerful people in the United States, Ikana feels that she has become a real winner in life!

It is precisely because of this that Ivanka has remained single and has never had a boyfriend in the years that Bai Ye ignored her. Having seen the scenery on the top of the mountain, how could she look down on those rotten fish and shrimps?

"I can't bear to part with you. After all, you are a well-known perfect goddess in the circle!"

Bai Ye smiled.

He didn't really abandon Ikana and stop playing with her. He just wanted to give her some time to get used to her. Anyway, as the eldest son of the Osborn family, Bai Ye was not in a hurry. They could play with her as long as they wanted. Whoever was in a hurry should humble himself.

It seems that after the social beatings in the past few years, Ikana has learned a lot and no longer has the pungent smell of the past.

"Ah, what's perfect? ​​Just like Amanda said, the A round of investment for Ikana Jewelry was led by my father's Tebrown Group!" Ikana said with a headache: "I'm having a headache now. How can I complete the B round of investment for Ikana Jewelry?"

"You're nothing like me, Bai Ye. It's spread all over the circle that your game company has been doing really well recently." Ikana changed the subject and said, "You first made a small game called "Sheep", which made over 1000 million US dollars. Recently, you made a sandbox game called "Minecraft", which has made at least 5000 million US dollars, right? I heard that the venture capital circle has valued your game company at 3 million US dollars."

"$3 million? Wow, they really think highly of my game company."

Bai Ye said with interest.

"Then are you willing to accept the investment?" Ikana asked curiously: "Actually, if you are willing to accept the investment, we Tebron Group are also willing to invest in your Tianmei studio!"

"So you've been messing with me for so long, and you're waiting for me here?" Bai Ye glanced at Ikana and said speechlessly, "Just because your father wants to invest in Tianmei Studio, you come to me to get close to me?"

"Bai Ye, has my image always been so bad in your heart?" Ikana said angrily, "I thought you should understand the relationship between us. Yes, my father hinted at it to me, but is this the main purpose of my meeting with you? Was everything that happened between us fake?"

"We were born in a family like this. Can we avoid talking about money when doing anything? It's impossible, right? If you don't want to accept the investment, then don't accept it. Can I force you to do something you don't want to do? The eldest son of the Osborne family!"

"OK, my bad." Bai Ye raised his hands in surrender and said, "Okay, let me be clear. I have high expectations for Tianmei Studios. It is impossible for me to accept investment for the time being. 3 million US dollars is too far away. Even if the valuation is 10 billion US dollars, I will not accept it."

"Secondly... your family is running a real estate company, so why are you interfering in this matter? Tianmei Studio has sufficient cash flow. Even if they want to accept investment, it can't be a simple financial investment. There must be resources that Tianmei Studio needs to exchange interests."

"It's just a small matter, can't we just talk it out?" Ikana nodded and said, "I'm just bringing a message. It's not like I want to invest. I just want to build my personal brand. That's what I'll rely on for the rest of my life."

After reconciling with Bai Ye, Ikana also decided to go home and delete the contact information of the several backup people she had cultivated so as not to let Bai Ye see them.

Well, Ikana is a very smart girl. She definitely won't hang herself on Bai Ye's crooked tree. In the past few years when Bai Ye ignored her, although she has not given up on Bai Ye, she has left a way out for herself and kept several high-quality backups.

Block him!

"Ikana, many people in your family are in the real estate business. I have thought of a new real estate business model. Do you think it will work?"

"Oh?" Ikana became interested and said, "Besides games, when did you learn about real estate?"

"I know a lot of things. Listen carefully. This is what I think..."

Bai Ye took a sip of wine to moisten his throat, then continued:

"I call this the high-tech real estate model. It is to use the special preferential policies of high-tech enterprises to obtain land from the New York City government for free, build houses at 0 yuan per square meter, and sell them to new employees at 2000 yuan per square meter as welfare housing. After the employees buy the houses, they will be fired."

"They hold employees in breach of contract because they are fired and no longer enjoy benefits. They require the fired employees to pay the difference and fines at the highest market price of 1 yuan per square meter, and they are not allowed to return the house. Then they recruit the next batch of employees to repeat the cycle."

"It can be said that this profit model can completely beat the world, and of course it can also beat most real estate companies in the United States. It is very advanced."

Ikana was shocked.

Her family has a long history of being engaged in the real estate industry for nearly a hundred years. Ikana has always thought that as long as she sticks to the real estate industry, she will soon be able to become a qualified real estate developer. But after hearing what Bai Ye said...

She has low self-esteem.

No wonder the Osborne family has become so big. The family assets of 600 billion US dollars did not come out of thin air. So why is her family so poor?

It turns out that the gap lies in this area!

You know, Bai Ye has never been engaged in real estate-related industries, but his casual remark directly killed all American real estate companies. If he entered the American real estate industry, the other real estate developers would have to be wiped out by Bai Ye.

but……

It’s dark! It’s really dark!

Compared to Osborne's approach, DuPont, who made his competitors ride in homemade planes, and Rockefeller, who created the infamous "Ludlow Incident", are nothing!

but……

Ikana hesitated for a moment and advised:

"Bai Ye, making money is indeed a very important thing, but we cannot have nothing else in our lives. Although you can make money by doing this, it is too conscienceless. I may not be able to sleep at night. It is not a good idea to do this. And it is very easy to make a big fuss and it will be impossible to resolve it. I advise you to give up this business model."

According to Bai Ye's business model of doing real estate, making money will definitely be very profitable, but she is worried that she will have the life to make money but not the life to spend it!

You know, when it comes to making money, who can compare to Rockefeller? Rockefeller unified the oil empire and became the richest man in American history. However, because his means of making money were too dark and he cheated countless people, Rockefeller's reputation soon became a bad one. People in America knew that he was despicable, shameless, and not a human being. There were even workers who surrounded Rockefeller's house, ready to make trouble.

Faced with the threat to his family's lives and property, Rockefeller was forced to change his way of thinking and started doing charity. He first donated to medical institutions, then began to pay attention to the suffering of black people, and later entered the education industry. For example, two of the top universities in the United States: the University of Chicago and Rockefeller University were founded by him.

——China is the country second only to the United States in terms of receiving Rockefeller funding, which participated in the investment and construction of Chinese universities and hospitals. For example, Peking Union Medical College was funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, which invested 1921 million US dollars in 4800.

It can be said that Rockefeller only did one thing in his last forty years, which was to donate money and to make the American people stop scolding him!

Rockefeller later gave people advice: Be nicer to others on your way up, because you will meet them on your way down.

"That's such a shame."

Byakuya shrugged.

Well, even a standard capitalist like Ikana was frightened by Bai Ye’s shady money-making methods!

"The unemployment rate in the United States is very high now, and many college students cannot find jobs, which is a huge waste of social resources. In fact, I think we can also let college students pay to work, and college students pay companies, and companies train work experience. In this way, companies gain cash flow, and college students also solve employment problems. Isn't it a good thing to have the best of both worlds?"

Bai Ye continued.

Ikana looked at Bai Ye in horror.

This business model seems outrageous at first glance, and even more outrageous upon closer inspection.

Sure enough, the assets of the capitalists are directly proportional to the degree of their evil-heartedness.

She was completely shocked by Bai Ye's words.
