In reality, people who read books often will gradually form their own fixed aesthetics.

Lovers of The Count of Monte Cristo are more likely to choose The Three Musketeers than Pride and Prejudice when choosing their next book in a bookstore.

What's more, under the deliberate guidance of Wang Gradual, the tendencies and themes on the website are more clear.

Some people scoff at the same work, while others will dismiss it as a classic.

But one day, someone took "Wuthering Heights" to accuse "Robinson Crusoe" of not being delicate enough.

So, how will the fans of Robinson Crusoe who have suffered from the unprovoked disaster react?

"Ha, so many male users go to watch "Harem?? The Legend of Poleyn", female users go to see "Extreme Heavenly Demon"?" Wang gradually smiled and shook his head, "It's hard for them." ”

"Oh," replied Tom casually, sipping his coffee, "arguments have to be found, right?"

"I really don't know what these people think, but someone has been arguing on Twitter for three days. ”

"As long as they still have the money to subscribe, they can make any noise they want. The king replied.

But the authors, the feedback is more intense. ”

Wang gradually raised his head in confusion and looked at the other party.

"In the book review section of American Gods, many people are asking why there are no African Americans among the gods. ”

In the book review section of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", many women also questioned: why the protagonist of the female author's creation is still male. ”

"Don't you support the feminist movement?"

"Neil?? Gaiman and JK?? Rowling, they're all reacting to the editors. ”

Belch...

Wang gradually took a sip of coffee in a bit of astonishment, and switched to the background of the website by the way.

"Then send the subscription data over, dollars... It should heal the wounds of these writers, right?"

Tom nodded, and handed over another newspaper.

"What about this, do I need to send a lawyer's letter?"

Wang gradually took it inexplicably, only to see that they were two newspapers.

"The first lady is involved in the feminist movement, and she is a symbol of the rise of women in the United States!"

"Real estate tycoon Donald has been named a 'leader'?"

"These gossip tabloids—" Wang gradually threw the newspaper on the table, tapping his fingers lightly.

"I used to reprint news from major newspapers, but now, I can copy it directly on Twitter. ”

"Drinking coffee, playing on the computer, you can get the news. Tom's tone was a little sarcastic, "These reporters, they should be very happy." ”

The king groaned and looked at the other party, "We... Just leave the legal responsibilities aside. “

"These newspapers should also help maintain further popularity. ”

"By the way, let Dorsey put 'this statement only represents the position of the person concerned and has nothing to do with Twitter' on the homepage of the website. ”

"Others..."Wang gradually shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "After all, it is a democratic United States, and freedom of speech must be protected!"

At this time, Chen Shijun walked into the office quickly.

"Wang, PayPal's final negotiations, the time is almost up. ”

Wang gradually nodded, glanced at the background data of the website again, and stood up with a smile.

"We want to thank the first lady and the real estate tycoon for their cooperation. ”

"This PayPal," he put on his coat and walked to the door, "basically, it can be said that it is a gift from these two big people." ”

Tom and Chen Shijun glanced at each other and curled the corners of their mouths at the same time.

The three of them walked out of the office building with a smile and a smile, and even the eight-story staircase seemed not so long.

......

Manhattan, Da Mo's reception room.

Elon?? Musk is closing his eyes, quietly thinking about things.

After today's final negotiations, PayPal, as an online payment tool, can complete the cycle of banks, insurance companies, and terminals.

However, as the founder, he can only get 10% of the shares?

He picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Citibank can open up financial institutions, and the project leader of Da Mo promised to let eBay and Amazon, which he invested, support PayPal payment.

So... Is it necessary to please literary websites?

Musk thought about the results of the communication with Citigroup and Da Mo, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Wang, thank you for introducing me to Goldman Sachs and other financial institutions. ”

"But now, please be like the angel investors at Bell Labs and get out of the business. ”

"Goldman Sachs' energy is indeed very large, but under the attack of Citibank and Da Mo, it can probably only protect its own interests, right?"

"Mr. Musk, it's time to head to the conference room. A waiter, whispering in his ear.

He smiled at the young woman and walked towards the conference room in a smug manner.

......

Wang Yan, who was sitting in the conference room, looked around a little puzzled.

Apple's negotiator, Tim?? Cook didn't show up in the room?

"Wang, Apple has sold 10% of its PayPal stake to Citibank. Lyman whispered.

All right...

It seems that Apple has been strangled out of Wall Street.

Wang gradually nodded at Lyman.

"Hehe, rest assured. Lyman patted Wang Jian on the shoulder and comforted, "Behind you, it's Goldman Sachs Investment that stands." ”

A few minutes later, PayPal founder Elon?? Musk walked to the center of the conference room.

"How did he get out of the feeling of returning from a gladiatorial fight, even though he had been dismembered?" Tom muttered quietly.

"We're going to do the same in the future. Wang gradually said to Tom: "Twitter's listing also needs to be cut to Wall Street." ”

"Is it the same?" Chen Shijun also came to join in the fun.

"Didn't you say that Twitter doesn't have a clear profit model, and we need to pull financial institutions to lose money together?"

Hearing this, Wang gradually almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Indeed, there is a considerable difference between Twitter as an online media and PayPal as an online bank.

Media organizations highlight influence, and as for profit...

Aside from the famous Playboy, is there any media organization that hasn't lost money?

Therefore, Wang gradually has a different attitude towards Twitter and towards Twitter.

Can... How can this be said here?

Wang gradually looked at the representatives of the financial giants around him and made a silent gesture to Chen Shijun.

"Guys, after a few days of consideration, PayPal has made a final decision. Musk took out a stack of documents and handed them to the service staff.

The service staff also distributed the documents to everyone present.

Wang gradually took the document and looked at it.

Then he rubbed his eyes.

Actually, no?

So... I've been tricked!

He held the papers in his hand and looked at Lyman.

I saw that Lyman also had a shocked expression on his face.

"You're infringing on Goldman Sachs' interests!" Lyman stood up and shouted at him.

"As far as I know, Goldman Sachs is in it, and it also has shares, right?"

"Everyone can see the potential of PayPal. The representative of Blossom Bank said quietly: "The three of us have contributed to the construction of PayPal's channels. ”

"Don't you think Goldman Sachs is taking a little too much?"

"Indeed, if the website as a terminal can be shared, then eBay and Amazon, which are invested by Da Mo, can also share the benefits?"

The representative of Da Mo added: "If Goldman Sachs agrees that eBay and Amazon get the same benefits." ”

He shrugged his shoulders, "That Da Mo also supports the request for shareholding." ”

Musk looked at everything in front of him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"As an Internet elite, why can this Asian writer squeeze benefits from himself?"

"At the last moment, Goldman Sachs suddenly attacked, even if it had more means, it should be too late to use it. ”

Lyman looked at the representatives of Citibank, Da Mo, and then at Elon?? Elon Musk.

"You've been communicating for a long time?"

"Huh. The representative of Citibank laughed, "On Wall Street, if you don't sign the final document, then this part of the interest cannot be determined." ”

"Lyman, go back and ask your father if this sentence is correct!"

"Why do you think that this part of the benefits has already been obtained?"

"Just because you're a partner at Goldman Sachs?"

The representative of Da Mo coughed lightly and began to play a round.

"Now that PayPal's payment channels on the banking side have been built, you know how much we paid for that. ”

"Lehman, we recognize Goldman Sachs' interests and want Goldman's respect. ”

"If you represent Goldman Sachs and reject this offer. He stood up and looked directly at Lyman.

"That is, the interests of Citibank and Da Mo have been violated. ”

So, is this about kicking yourself out?

Wang gradually looked at the scene in the conference room and had his own understanding.

He looked at the tangled look on Lyman's face, and remembered the other party, who was recently promoted to a mid-level partner at Goldman Sachs.

After about two or three minutes, Lyman's expression began to darken.

And at this time, Elon?? Musk delivered the final blow.

"Mr. Lehmann, if he cannot take a stake, then he has agreed to a 15 per cent stake. ”

"It will be divided equally between the four of us. ”

After hearing this, Lyman calculated in his heart.

15% divided by 4 is 3% of PayPal shares?

And if it is controlled by the website, 15% of the PayPal shares, and 30% of the website shares...

So, Goldman Sachs' interests can also be safeguarded?

Lyman turned his head to look at Wang Yan, looking a little ashamed, "Wang, I'm sorry. ”

"Judas!" Tom said a word as he looked at Lyman and gritted his teeth.

Chen Shijun looked at everyone present, and his eyes dimmed a little.

fuck, these hyenas!

Wang gradually gritted his teeth in his heart.

In order to acquire a 15% stake in PayPal and cope with the upcoming tax season, how much effort did it take to make money quickly!

For this reason, they even did not hesitate to increase the pressure on the Twitter server to manipulate the public opinion of the first lady and the real estate tycoon!

No, manipulating public opinion?

In Wang Yan's mind, it was like a lightning bolt.

The contradiction between Wall Street and Hollywood, the past that Wall Street has always wanted to control public opinion but could not realize, began to appear in Wang Yan's heart one by one.

For financial giants, money or public opinion, which makes them crave more?

For Twitter, the website is no longer enough to burn, and it urgently needs to bring in a large amount of money.

So, what is Twitter to yourself?

It is a tool for manipulating public opinion!

Wang gradually stood up and smiled, "Since everyone doesn't welcome us, then we can only leave." ”

"After all, Twitter has attracted various groups and mixed public opinion recently, which is still a headache. ”

"That's right," Wang gradually patted Lyman on the shoulder, and said casually, "Twitter's valuation is going to be tightened, and we are all looking forward to its listing." ”

"Also, there are financial elites here, can I ask you a question?"

"If a financial institution is one of the shareholders of another company, does it have to become an underwriter for its listing?"

"Also, I've seen some companies have two or even three underwriters, how does that work?"

"I'm a financial idiot in front of you. Wang gradually smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I always feel that the power of the underwriter is too great!"

"Not only can it value the company, but it can also control a part of the company's equity. ”

"It's a real headache. ”

"Oh, yes. He stopped talking to himself.

"Today is an investment negotiation with PayPal, and I'm a little off topic. ”

"Finally, I wish you all a smooth cooperation and PayPal growth and growth. ”

Looking at the back of Wang gradually leaving, the conference room was silent for a while.

"Twitter?" said the project representative of Da Mo, whispering to himself.

"Public opinion?" said the representative of Citibank, with a thoughtful expression.

Lyman's face became even more difficult to look at.

Elon?? Musk looked at the atmosphere in the conference room, and his heart was a little tense for a while.

"Guys, let's sign the contract first, and PayPal has to be for online users." ”

"Uh," the representative of Da Mo stood up, "I forgot to inform everyone, eBay and Amazon, there are still some technical issues. ”

"For the time being, PayPal payment should not be supported. ”

"Yes. The representative of Citi added: "We... You have to sign an understanding agreement with VISA. ”

"After all, in a sense, PayPal is infringing on this partner's interests. ”

Lyman stood up and looked at the crowd with a gloomy face.

"I really need to talk to the top about the current situation. ”

"Hehe, it's mainly the partners, it's too untrustworthy. ”

"That," the representative of Citibank made a concluding remarks, "and we'll talk about it another day?"

"Mr. Musk, I'm sorry to let you come to New York from Silicon Valley. The representative of Da Mo said sincerely: "Da Mo, I will bear all your expenses in New York." ”

This...

I...

"Is there such a small amount of money that I lack?" Musk glanced at everyone and walked out of the conference room with a grim face.

And sitting in the car bound for Flushing, the faces of Wang gradually and his party were no better than Elon's. How much better Musk looks.

"Wang, are you really going to break with Goldman Sachs?" asked Tom in a whisper.

"Break?" Wang gradually shook his head, "why should we?"

"It's just that Musk gave me a little bit of inspiration. ”

"If Twitter is fully underwritten by Goldman Sachs, then whether this thing is Goldman Sachs or a website is debatable. ”

"Look at Apple, a single institutional major shareholder can completely drive out the founders of the company. ”

"Twitter, on the other hand, doesn't have a stable profit model. ”

"Tom, you want to be Steve?? Jobs?"
