Chapter 183: Invitation

Never underestimate Wall Street's information-gathering capabilities, especially when these bloodthirsty monsters see benefits.

Soon, Twitter details were on the desks of these financial institutions.

"Best-selling author Wang, South African Elon?? Musk?" Da Mo's vice president held the file in his hand and compared it with PayPal's information.

From his professional point of view, PayPal, as a payment tool, is definitely very potential in the tide of rapid technological development.

In comparison, the profitability of Twitter and the sum of them is not at all a level.

"But this is the media industry!" the vice president rubbed his temples and sighed softly.

After a series of failed investments in film companies and television stations, Wall Street has learned that this industry is different from other industries.

The West Coast's media giants are the ones who make the rules of the game.

In the process of the transfer of Columbia Media Group, they would rather accept an injection of capital from the book Sony than accept an offer from a local financial institution.

For Wall Street, the media industry can be called the Achilles heel.

If this is another industry, Da Mo doesn't mind joining forces with other investment banks to imitate and copy.

Just like when Sears refused to accept investment from Wall Street, it would be better to support a Wal-Mart.

"But, imitating Twitter?" Vice President Da Mo took a sip of coffee and thought quietly.

If it can be successful, it will be the best.

But if it fails, will it completely annihilate Twitter's good development momentum?

"It's an opportunity to really get involved in the media industry without having to follow the old rules. ”

"This opportunity cannot be measured in money. ”

He put his PayPal profile down and began to focus on Twitter's data.

And at the same time, inside the office of Goldman Sachs.

CEO Henry?? Paulson stared at Lyman with a blank face and said calmly, "You made a stupid mistake, you know?"

"But PayPal's profitability is far greater than Twitter!" Lyman countered.

Goldman Sachs has a stake in the Federal Reserve that is close to 10 percent. Paulson tapped his finger on the table, "Is PayPal's profit comparable to harvesting the world with dollars?"

"What we need is influence, it's the media!"

"If we can control the three major radio networks, then with money," Paulson said, gesturing in Washington's direction.

"It should be up to us to decide who should be in charge there. ”

"Then..."Lyman pondered for a moment, "according to the unspoken rule that the media can only be in the hands of 'our own people', can we use the issue of skin color to force Wang gradually to hand over Twitter?"

Paulson threw a document in front of Lyman, "It's how Twitter evolved, and how can you be sure that it's going to go from strength to strength after the Asian writer is replaced?"

"What's more," he muttered, his gaze seeming to penetrate Lyman and see into the distance.

"This is an emerging way to intervene in the media industry, do you want Goldman Sachs to be the enemy of Wall Street?"

"Okay, let's go get in touch with the Asian writer. ”

"We, Goldman Sachs, are willing to defend the interests of our partners. Paulson withdrew his gaze and looked at Lyman, "We'd rather lose some of our own interests as a last resort." ”

On this small street, stand the office buildings of world-renowned consortia such as Citibank, Lehman Brothers, and Beth Yaman.

At this time, the most luxurious offices in each building are discussing Twitter.

As the center of the storm, Wang gradually did not know that he and Twitter had been used by Wall Street as the fulcrum to leverage the media industry with capital because of the emerging information dissemination model.

Wang gradually knew that financial giants were very interested in the media, but for deeper reasons, he really didn't think much about it.

"Wang, which financial institution are you going to choose as an underwriter for Twitter?" asked Tom.

"In addition to Goldman Sachs, whichever has the highest valuation and the best guaranteed sales conditions, choose whichever one. Wang gradually looked at the backstage of the website and replied casually.

"However, we also need to make up for our relationship with Goldman Sachs. ”

"After all, according to Larry?? According to Page, in Silicon Valley, it has been widely regarded as the Goldman Sachs system. ”

"Mr. Wang, there is a gentleman who wants to see you. The front desk of the company walked into the office and said quickly, "The other party claims to be your friend." ”

Sir?Friend?

Myself... I don't have any male friends.

Wang gradually responded with some confusion: "Please invite the other party in." ”

Soon, a typical young man of German descent walked into the office.

"Long time no see, King. The other party greeted him warmly.

Wang gradually recalled in his mind for a few seconds, "Jeff?? Mr. Bush?"

However, his heart was even more confused.

How could this second-generation top official appear in his own small company?

Jeff?? Bush looked at Wang and smiled, and handed over a beautiful card.

"New York City Mayor Giuliani will host a charity dinner. He winked at Wang, "He used to express concern about the situation of literature lovers." ”

Literature lovers, worried?

In other words, when the website set up a charitable fund, the other party also contributed?

At the very least, there were no obstacles?

But the charity dinner... What's going on?

"By the way, my brother will be in attendance. "Jeff?? Bush added with a smile, "After all, in this year's election, the New York mayoral election is an appetizer!"

Hell the charity dinner, it's obviously a fundraising dinner!

Wang gradually smiled and accepted the invitation, but he already knew in his heart: this is to repay.

"All right, King. "Jeff?? Bush took out a few invitations and shook them, "I still have to personally send invitations to some important people." ”

"At the dinner, I introduced George to you. ”

Looking at Jeff?? As Bush left, Wang gradually cursed in a low voice: "Vampire!"

"Tom, go and ask how many dollars we need to donate in a typical case like ours. ”

Tom nodded and walked away quickly.

Wang gradually sat back in his office chair and carefully studied the invitation card in his hand.

"Fortunately, it is not indicated, and you need to bring a female companion. ”

"Otherwise, you'll have another headache. ”

Moments later, Tom returned to his office.

"Wang, according to Matthew's law firm, if there is nothing to be asked for in Giuliani's next term. ”

"$50,000, then, is an appropriate number. ”

Fifty thousand dollars?

It's not expensive.

Wang gradually pulled out the cheque folder and wrote on it with a pen.

"It's only fifty thousand dollars, Jeff?? Bush, the second-generation top official, doesn't seem to be very valuable. ”

"Or does he really regard himself as a good friend?"
