Chapter 180: Not enough money

In New York, the world's financial center for money addiction.

Wall Street elites have very different attitudes towards different people.

Of course, it's not about age, race, skin color, etc., it's just about interests.

In the past, Wang gradually was only qualified to contact Lehmann, a low-level partner at Goldman Sachs.

With the blessing of Twitter, he is now directly facing the middle and senior partners of Goldman Sachs.

However, this did not make Wang gradually happy.

Amid the compliments of the manager of the customer service department of Goldman Sachs, he sat in the car with a gloomy face.

"Invitations to the Madoff Fund and Tiger Fund?" Wang gradually pursed the corners of his lips and threw out two exquisite cards.

"Am I still like a person who has money to invest?"

"How's it going, Wang?" said Tom, turning his head, "what are Goldman Sachs' plans?"

"It's going to take a while for them to be valued before they can officially start the Twitter listing process. Wang gradually replied.

"But, Dorsey—" Tom stopped talking.

Wang gradually rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and also felt a headache.

Despite the influence of several film and television dramas and the word-of-mouth of readers, the current monthly income has stabilized at the level of tens of millions of dollars.

Even after deducting the various expenditures, the remaining liquidity each month is probably several million dollars.

But Twitter is like a monster, devouring these funds like crazy.

Moreover, the site had to shell out $1 million to subscribe for a 15% stake in PayPal.

Sure enough, the dollar is never enough.

Wang gradually thought about Goldman Sachs' response, and his brows furrowed deeply.

High user volume and activity bring more than just high valuation.

There is also a multiplication of pressure on servers, as well as a massive shortage of technicians.

So, give up PayPal subscription?

Wang gradually thought for a moment, and quickly shook his head.

Even from your own point of view, Internet payments are promising.

To give up now is to lose a lot of money.

"Tom, try to minimize your site's expenses before Twitter goes public. He muttered, then continued, "And you and Dorsey need to raise some of the money." ”

"We need to prevent Goldman Sachs from using the pressure of website funding to get more equity. ”

"For us, Goldman Sachs is not only a partner, but also an adversary to watch out for. ”

Hearing this, Tom smiled wryly.

"You have licensing fees, subscription fees, etc., but Dorsey and I—" he shook his head helplessly.

"What's more, next month is still tax season, which is another big expense. ”

Tax season?

Wang gradually almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"How much?"

"Three million dollars. Tom handed over a paperwork, "This is after deducting the charitable tax credit." ”

Three million dollars?

Fuck the IRS!

The king closed his eyes and stopped talking.

In his heart, he began to silently calculate the expenses needed for this period of time.

Half an hour later, the car stopped under the office building in Flushing.

Wang and Tom walked quickly to the office.

"Wang, here's Twitter's backend data. Chen Shijun handed over a document.

"This..."Wang gradually smiled bitterly in his heart: "Do you want to spend money again to invite those hackers?"

But when he took the file, he was surprised to find that Twitter's data had not plummeted.

"Aren't those two Hollywood stars already having a tacit understanding?"

"Ahem. Chen Shijun coughed lightly, "The first lady and the real estate tycoon, the argument has become more intense. ”

Belch...

Wang gradually turned on the computer and checked the twitter of the two.

"70 pieces of information? These two people, are they so serious about tearing up on the Internet?"

But after a moment, Wang gradually laughed.

"These two people... It's a big shot. ”

"What's wrong?" asked Tom, confused.

"If you look at the Twitter of these two people, they're changing their rhetoric at any time depending on the political leanings of their fans. ”

"That means they've found something abnormal, but they haven't formed a tacit understanding like Hollywood stars?" asked Chen Shijun.

"Nope. Wang gradually shook his head and picked up his coffee.

"They've formed a tacit understanding, just in a different way. ”

"The more controversial the issue, the more these two big men spoke. ”

"But—" Wang gradually pointed to the screen, "Mr. Donald, I think I'm about to run out of support. ”

"Huh. Tom laughed, "After all, you used feminism to cause "Harem??" Attention of fans of the Poleyn biography. ”

"Book lovers, on Twitter, have a broad base. ”

Hearing this, Wang gradually seemed to have a flash of lightning in his mind.

Book lovers, twitter, hot spots...

He picked up the mouse and went to the backstage.

Sure enough, I found that the "Harem?? The number of paid copies of "The Legend of Pauline" has begun to rise sharply again.

This...

Directing book fans to the hot spots, which can not only keep the hot spots going, but also increase subscriptions in reverse?

His fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop and began to think.

If "Harem?? Pauline's biography, feminism, and Hillary Clinton can barely be linked.

That...

Real estate tycoon Donald, what should he connect with?

Ten minutes later, Wang gradually had finished drinking a cup of coffee.

He thought bitterly, "This kind of hot spot... It doesn't seem like there's a book that can be rubbed on!"

Unless...

According to the experience of the tycoon's bankruptcy, it was stiff and stiff.

Wang gradually opened the paid list of the website and looked at it carefully.

Finally, his attention was on "Prison Break".

As for the comeback after bankruptcy, what does it have to do with the return of the king of special forces.

holy shit!

I'm the boss of Twitter, so I'm stuck on it anyway.

Defy?

bite me!

So, half an hour later.

Users who were watching the debate between the first lady and the real estate tycoon in high spirits spotted an ad in the midst of their successive speeches.

Hillary is a young woman dressed in the costume of a medieval aristocracy.

Next to it was a line that said, "The world is never ruled by a man, even if he is a king!"

As for Donald, it is the image of a strong man.

"Plotted by the enemy, struck by life, but... That man is finally back!"

After the user clicks on the ad, they will jump to the "Harem?? Pauline's House and Prison Break Operatives.

Tom took a group of editors and racked his brains to associate it with Donald in the topic area of "Prison Break".

For this reason, they did not hesitate to make some extremely intellectually degrading and hateful remarks about women's rights.

An editor who has studied the history of various countries also borrows from the remarks of famous people in history.

Among them is Nietzsche's, "Are you going to a woman? Don't forget to bring your whip." ”

There is also what Confucius said, "Only women and villains are difficult to raise." "Wait.

Because "Prison Break", whether it is a TV series or not, is completely masculine.

These remarks have been welcomed by many people.

Tom hurriedly took screenshots of these favorable remarks and posted them to "Harem?? Book review section of The Biography of Pauline.

"Sisters, look at what Donald's supporters really are. ”

"Fans of that movie called "Prison Break Special Forces" actually made such remarks!"
