Chapter Eighty-Five: Lyman

Amid the cheers of the readers, "Extreme Heavenly Demon" has been updated with two chapters, about 20,000 words.

The plot is stuck at the moment when Odin wants to launch "Ragnarok" to kill the protagonist's maid Athena.

Athena looked at Odin in despair, and was about to close her eyes and wait for death, when the protagonist suddenly appeared out of thin air and said to Athena: "Athena, let you buy a maid outfit and black stockings, you don't have to run, right?"

Then, "Ragnarok" hits the protagonist on the back.

The protagonist slowly turned around, looked at Odin, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing on my back?"

After Wang gradually finished the code, he looked at the lamenting messages of readers and laughed.

Then, I turned off my computer and prepared to go back to my apartment for the party.

It has to be said that there is a huge difference between a rich man's party and a rich man's party.

The party in the Bronx is loose beer, bagged snacks.

The party in Manhattan, on the other hand, is all about high-end champagne and craft beer.

But there is one thing in common, and that is that they are all filled with the smell of leaves.

Wang gradually frowned in disgust, and walked into the neighbor's apartment.

I only saw that under the strong melody music, men and women were all kinds of wandering.

From time to time, a pair of men and women, men and women, leave the living room and go into other rooms.

Soon, a middle-aged man noticed Wang's arrival.

He first signaled for the music to pause, and then introduced to the people in the hall: "This is our new neighbor, the best-selling author, Wang!"

While applauding, everyone in the venue let out a burst of ghost crying wolf howls.

Wang gradually looked at the men and women in front of him, and even wondered if these people had heard the introduction just now.

However, out of politeness, he announced his apartment number.

Then, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.

But the middle-aged neighbor pulled a middle-aged man and introduced to Wang Yan: "This is Lehman Brothers' partner, Ted." ”

"Hello. Ted looked like a middle-aged gentleman and said politely to Wang Jian: "You are not only a best-selling author, but also a scientific and technological elite." ”

Wang gradually looked at the other party suspiciously.

I was introduced as a best-selling author, and I have experienced it many times.

It is the first time that he can say that he is a scientific and technological elite.

"Hello. Wang gradually shook hands with the other party, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"If you don't bother, can you talk?" Ted asked.

And just like that, the two of them came to a quieter corner of the party.

Ted got straight to the point: "Lehman Brothers is interested in investing in your website, I wonder what you mean?"

"Investment, investment, investment?" Wang gradually pretended to be stupid, while thinking quickly about the pros and cons in his heart.

Wall Street's investment in technology companies is a win-win partnership.

Wall Street relies on investment to reap the dividends of technological development.

Technology companies, on the other hand, rely on investment to satisfy their own thirst for capital.

But its own website is different from other technology companies.

It relies on paid reading and is currently completely self-sufficient.

What can a lot of money do?

Is it possible to buy a computer and give it away for free to people who have not yet touched the Internet?

You must know that what currently restricts the development of the website is not the hunger for funds. Rather, the speed at which the web is growing and spreading.

Thinking of this, Wang gradually shook his head with a smile and said, "The website is not particularly hungry in terms of funds at present. ”

"Still, thank you Lehman Brothers for your attention. ”

Ted smiled as if he wasn't surprised, "Don't you want to hear the offer?"

"What if you just had to give up control of the website and become a real multi-millionaire?"

Multimillionaire?

At this moment, Wang gradually was really a little moved.

But after considering his own financial situation and future earnings, he still shook his head.

"I Am an Archmage" and "Arcane Throne" brought themselves millions of dollars.

And "Extreme Heavenly Demon", the number of people paying is growing steadily.

In addition, the copyright of other works on the website.

Multimillionaires, it's not difficult to do it yourself.

"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Ted shook his head with a smile and said to Wang Yan, "Young man, don't be so ambitious. The power of capital cannot be underestimated by others. ”

"I've heard that you're seeking tax-exempt status from the Literature Lovers' Charity Fund, and I have to say that it's a genius idea. ”

"But have you ever thought about it, if a new website comes along, it has everything from the old website and the creation fund from the philanthropic foundation. ”

"Can your website still attract a large number of authors?"

Hearing this, Wang gradually felt a tightening in his heart.

This is indeed a trick to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle.

Most of the writers on the site are poor.

A few hundred dollars in creative funds have an unimaginable appeal to these people.

However, just giving up the dominance of the website, Wang gradually felt a little angry in his heart.

He stared at Ted and said slowly, "Literary websites are not so easy to build. ”

"It relies on the work to attract readers. ”

"Hehe, as far as I know, the verdict of plagiarism is very difficult. Ted took the incense cake and filled the king's glass.

"And the process of claiming compensation needs to go through several rounds of litigation. ”

"Lehman Brothers can hold on, I don't know if you can hold it?"

"It's a good way to pay big companies and bully emerging companies. ”

Suddenly, a young voice sounded in Wang Yan's ears.

I saw a young white man with blond hair coming to the two of them with a wine glass.

"You Lehman Brothers are still as domineering as ever. The young man said to Ted, "To invest in a business is to control the company. ”

"I never knew that the most important thing for a company is the original management team. ”

"We, Goldman Sachs, are completely different. ”

After that, the young man turned to face Wang Yan and said, "Introduce yourself, Lyman from Goldman Sachs." ”

"We are also very interested in investing. ”

However, Goldman Sachs is about a win-win situation and will not seek to dominate the website. ”

And, if Mr. Wang is reluctant to accept a cash investment, he could accept share swaps for some other companies that Goldman Sachs has evaluated. ”

"Of course, Goldman Sachs' requirement is to own at least 30% of the shares that have the right to vote on the board of directors. ”

Wang gradually looked at the young man in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.

Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs Investment...

It's a behemoth that can't be messed with.

How did his own website suddenly attract the attention of such a capital giant?

Lyman looked at Wang Yan, gently pulled out a piece of paper, and said, "These are all exchange joint-stock companies that Goldman Sachs can accept." ”

"I hope Mr. Wang, think about it carefully. ”

Goldman Sachs Investment can also play a role in the creation of charitable funds. And we're not afraid of long-lasting lawsuits. ”

After that, he turned to look at Ted and said with a smile: "In terms of the number of lawsuits, Lehman Brothers seems to be less than one-third of Goldman Sachs, right?"
