United States. California. June 2 at 9 a.m. San Francisco time.

In an old house, a man in his thirties shaves his beard in the mirror, and there is a knock on the door. One wonders if the shoddy door is enough to withstand such a tremendous force.

"Sheridan, damn it, answer me quickly. You haven't given me last month's rent yet, I know you're at home......" A grumpy woman's voice came from outside the door.

The man who was shaving was called Matthew Sheridan. Thirty-one years old. Unmarried. Unemployed. University degree. He was once imprisoned for three years for commercial espionage. After being released from prison, he traveled to San Francisco in search of job opportunities.

But work is often not very satisfying. After two years from prison, he was still poor. They often need to rely on government handouts to survive. But the turnaround is coming today.

Matthew Sheridan tilted his head, carefully took care of his appearance, turned a deaf ear to the roar of the "Tyrannosaurus Rex" outside the door, and nodded in satisfaction as he looked in the mirror at the handsome face that resembled Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter movie. Then he cherished it and changed into the black suit he bought when he was working in Silicon Valley.

A few minutes later, Matthew Sheridan pulled open the door with a flattering smile on his face, "Miss Hill, I've got a job..."

Matthew Sheridan's words were interrupted by a shrill voice, "Sheridan, this is the fifth time you've said this to me. Take the money..."

Standing at the doorway was a forty-year-old woman with a rather imposing waist of a bucket, pointing at Matthew Sheridan's nose and scolding.

Matthew Sheridan put it mildly, mortgaged the watch left by his father on his wrist to get out. All the way downstairs. Closed the door heavily, and looked back at the old apartment. His face gradually became gloomy, "Damn old virgin." ”

…

…

In a café in the slums of San Francisco. In the dim light of the morning, there were not many guests. At the long dining table sat a guest in a hat. Rectangular face with beard.

"Mr. Bauer?" Matthew Sheridan asked tentatively, across from his beard.

"It's me." The bearded man said in a low voice, taking out a vellum paper bag and handing it to Matthew Sheridan, "Everything is in here." Do what you planned. Your remuneration, we trade after the fact. ”

Matthew Sheridan nodded and swallowed hard.

There was a thick stack of dollars in the bag, no less than $10,000. It's been a long time since he's seen so much money.

After Matthew Sheridan's departure. The bearded man sat in the car. He ripped off his beard and dialed a number to go out, "Mr. Yu, the matter is done." "It's different from the English just now, I speak authentic Chinese.

…

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Matthew Sheridan walked into eBay's headquarters building. Flat wooden floors, bright windows with green plants. The neat desks are busy with greenery. Among them, there are many white-collar beauties.

This made Matthew Sheridan a bit in a trance. It's like going back to the old days of work. The income is not high, but it is stable. It's just that there is no way for him to turn back. Once there is a criminal record. It's extremely difficult to find another good job.

"From now on I am a successful businessman. Internet investors. Matthew Sheridan kept hinting at himself in his heart, and followed the eBay staff to the office of Ford Cooper, eBay's global vice president.

The bright and spacious office is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides, providing excellent transparency. Ford Cooper is sipping afternoon tea.

Ford Cooper, in his fifties, with glasses on his emaciated face, put his coffee cup down in his hand. looked at Sheridan curiously, "You are Matthew Sheridan introduced by Liu?" ”

He is friends with Liu Yiping, CEO of F6 Music, the world's largest paid music website.

Matthew Sheridan nodded. "Yes, Mr. Cooper." Very calm and calm.

The information in the bag shows Ford Cooper's hobbies. He even knew that the coffee variety in Ford-Cooper's cup at the moment was Mocha.

Ford Cooper waved. Let the clerk who led Matthew Sheridan in leave, and said with a smile, "Do you see anything wrong with me?" ”

Matthew Sheridan got straight to the point: "Mr. Cooper, I know eBay is preparing to split PayPal. I want to buy shares in PayPal. ”

"It can't be." Ford-Cooper said no. Ebay has really been under pressure internally lately to prepare to split PayPal.

But Sheridan's desire to buy a stake in PayPal is a dream. After the spin-off, Ebay will still control PayPal. Shares are not offered to the public.

Matthew Sheridan smiled confidently and said, "Mr. Cooper, I believe you have a way, right?" I have $120 million at my disposal. This amount of money is insignificant to PayPal's overall stake. However, I am grateful to the friends who have helped me. ”

Ford-Cooper's eyes narrowed slightly, "Young man, sit down and talk." He was going to hear about the plan in detail.

As the global vice president of eBay, he earns millions of dollars a year. But he was moved by the $120 million in funding.

The American rule: Exploit the loopholes of the law as much as possible. He wants to legally swallow the rookie's $120 million.

…

…

Three days later, one evening, it was raining lightly. Matthew Sheridan rushed back to his rented apartment in a stormy manner.

Miss Hill, a Tyrannosaurus rex, was looking at the Ford parked outside the apartment, taking a closer look, rubbing her eyes to make sure she wasn't dazzled, and smiling and turning upstairs to knock on Matthew Sheridan's door.

It was still very late to open the door. Matthew Sheridan opened the door dragging his luggage and shoved a stack of money into Hill's neckline, "Here's a tip, Miss Hill, and we can talk about the rent and the watch I mortgaged to you." ”

Hill was unhappy with Matthew Sheridan's frivolous moves, but by the time she got her hands on the money, it was worth several thousand dollars. Restrained his temper, a smile appeared on his fat face: "Oh. Dear Matthew, are you ready to leave? ”

Look at Ciel's expression. Matthew Sheridan is in a very good mood, and the action of stuffing money into the neckline of a woman's dress is refreshing. It turns out that the Tyrannosaurus rex is nothing more than that. replied nonchalantly, "Yes..."

An hour later, Matthew Sheridan, who had settled the bill, asked for his father's belongings and drove his Ford through the rain in the rain amid Hill's hint of "I'm free tonight." The mood seems to be flying up to the clouds.

Yes, he is rich now. The reward for this was $500,000. This is enough for him to live comfortably in a small country in Latin America.

In a Ford, a copy of the Wall Street Journal fluttered. The headlines: eBay global vice president Ford Cooper is under police investigation for setting up a rat warehouse on the eve of eBay's PayPal spin-off.

…

…

"Mr. Liu is still talking to people?" Liu Qianwen, vice president of F6 Music Network, called to ask Liu Yiping's assistant.

She was a little anxious and needed to report to Liu Yiping, but Liu Yiping was still talking secretly with the delicate and elegant young woman from Los Angeles. It's been two hours. It really made her a little depressed.

Liu Yiping's assistant said: "Mr. Liu, not yet." ”

"Okay. Wait for Mr. Liu to inform me when he is free, I have work here to discuss with Mr. Liu. Liu Qianwen confessed and hung up the phone, muttering a little in his heart.

Liu Yiping's office is very simple, with a yellow wall that looks calm and quiet, a small conference table and a few chairs, very much in the commercial style of an Internet company.

"Greed is the original sin of mankind.," Liu Yiping sighed.

I just chatted with Qi Jingyao about the news of the arrest of Ford Cooper, the global vice president of eBay. A lot of the information was provided by him. Of course, Qi Jingyao may not have known that this was an incident planned by Lu Jing's assistant Yu Le.

In March, Ford Cooper cooperated with Daniel Warren to provide false information to Lu Jing. almost made Lu Jing disgusted by Andy Morgan. If you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

"Who's to say it's not?" Qi Jingyao said with a smile, elegantly sipping warm water. The fair face is slightly powdered. Coquettish and glamorous.

She heard Liu Yiping talk about Ford Cooper's greed for $120 million from a businessman named Matthew Sheridan, but she didn't expect Matthew Sheridan to fall out with him. Betrayed him to the media. It then vanished.

The so-called $120 million is naturally nothing. No matter how you look at it, it's like the rhythm of an immortal jump.

Liu Yiping asked with a smile: "Miss Qi, the F6 music website is listed, you have made a lot of money, right?" ”

Qi Jingyao nodded. smiled: "Thank you for your fortune, my assets are already tens of millions of dollars." She put $1 million into the F6 music website. According to the current stock price of the F6 music website, it has made a full profit of $40 million.

When in the Yellow Sea. She spoke to Lu Jing about how desperately she needed money to expand her influence in Los Angeles. Therefore, entering the investment field makes their funds grow rapidly legally.

Qi Jingyao said again: "Mr. Liu, what field should I invest in next?" ”

Liu Yiping smiled: "Oil futures." I'll arrange for the operations team to give it to you. "Fuyue Industrial Investment Fund predicts that oil prices will rise to $70 a barrel this year. Qi Jingyao can take a ride.

Qi Jingyao was slightly surprised.

She is keen on her career, but her political level is not good. He has enough talent in business, but he is only proficient in management and industry. Financial products are not available. If the futures are liquidated, it is not just a loss of principal.

Thinking about it, Qi Jingyao immediately smiled. If you lose everything, forget it, anyway, it's Lu Jing's. What do you have to worry about?

In the final analysis, her wealth in the United States was used by Lu Jing to fund the legislators to expand their influence in China.

…

…

London, United Kingdom.

Daniel Warren received the news from the United States, stood by the window, and did not speak for a long time. Others don't know, isn't he still clear?

Ford Cooper was deliberately framed.

And eight out of ten people behind the scenes are Lu Jing. After enduring it for 3 months, Lu Jing still made a move. If there is really revenge, it will be avenged.

Daniel Warren has some headaches, and characters like Lu Jing make him quite uncomfortable. Let's take a look, the influence of the Warren consortium is not enough to influence the Far East. Even under Lu Jing's counterattack, the gains outweigh the losses.

Standard Chartered Bank is an example. As a result, he led the order of heirs to decline.

Ignoring Lu Jing, I really couldn't swallow this breath.

Looking at the rain outside the window, Daniel Warren was inexplicably irritable, and he no longer had the pride he had when he met old Fu Linming a few days ago. (To be continued......)
