The Wolf of Los Angeles

Chapter 283: First-mover advantage

"The news about Beckham and Victoria is still very popular."

In the conference room, Caroline switched the screen on the projection screen, and the official notice from Real Madrid appeared on it: "Real Madrid informed the media and fans on the grounds of handling family affairs that Beckham would miss the next two reports. .”

Hawke was not interested in these things and asked directly: "We have invested a lot in this matter, what is the data?"

Technical Director Haaland said: "The increase in overseas users' registration has been significant. As of yesterday, during the Beckham cheating incident, 6.17 million new registered users worldwide were added, of which 178% were from outside North America. .”

Caroline also adjusted the projection screen to the data statistics column.

"During this period, Twitter has more than 45 million registered users worldwide and nearly 35 million active users, and the data has been showing a growing trend."

Hawke nodded slightly and asked, "Where is our competitor?"

Caroline said: "The current social networking website is ranked second in LinkedIn, a social platform for the workplace. It was founded in the first half of the year and now has 2.24 million users. Originally, Red Hoffman wanted to invest in it. But we have restricted terms for him and Peter Thiel in the investment negotiations, and they cannot invest in similar companies."

"Keep your attention to LinkedIn," Hawke said.

Not only LinkedIn, he also sent people to Harvard University in private and found Zuckerberg, and was putting pressure on him through some means.

Twitter's lead is expanding.

The hot news has attracted users. The user's convenient interaction and usage functions have cultivated the habit of using it.

As long as you don’t die by yourself, Twitter can maintain a good development momentum in a short period of time.

...

San Francisco Bay Area, long-term capital management company.

In the office, Peter Thiel looked through Twitter, and Beckham and Victoria made up their minds and left Los Angeles together.

In the hospitality area, Red Hoffman was savoring coffee and said, "It turns out that you have a good vision."

He said another thing: "I have received several calls recently and someone has put pressure on me. Where is your side?"

"I received it too." Peter Thiel didn't care: "In the next five years, there may be a asset appreciation of tens of billions of dollars. Will you give up?"

Red Hoffman said directly: "I will choose to withstand the pressure and continue our investment. If they dare to break the rules first, I will take out $500 million from it and fight them directly."

Peter Thiel's view is consistent with Red Hoffman, such opportunities are extremely scarce even in Silicon Valley.

It is useless to draw a big pie in empty words. It is actually very simple to want them to cooperate. They also have a good opportunity to increase their assets by 10 billion US dollars.

Red Hoffman said at this time: "Twitter rejected the initial valuation of $5 billion, believing that Twitter has a higher market value."

Peter Thiel sighed: "The 36.7 million active users are really a bit amazing."

Red Hoffman said: "This company is growing at an amazing speed, and users mean huge market value, Tom Cruise's ice bucket challenge, David Beckham's cheating door, these are the key points. It has brought huge traffic and has also cultivated user habits."

"Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch have also been on the spot." Peter Thiel is well-informed: "And Bill Gates, who mentioned the name of Twitter at Microsoft's latest board meeting."

Red Hoffman also heard: "Pacific Investment Group is also raising funds."

Peter Thiel was silent for a few seconds and said, "It's hard to say that it's too long. With Hawke Osmon's age and ability, Twitter will maintain an upward trend within the next fifteen years, and will even Become the new Yahoo before 2001. "

“AB equity structure, although we can get a board seat, Hawke Osmon holds absolute power.” Red Hoffman also has concerns: “He can bring Twitter to the fast lane of development, but It is also possible to push the company into the abyss.”

Peter Thiel said: "But judging from the past year, Hawke Oscar is no less weak than his strategic planning business in terms of Internet operations."

Red Hoffman thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Without Hawk Osmon, there would be no Twitter today."

Peter Thiel stood up: “Revalue and speed up negotiations.”

The development of Internet companies is often astonishingly fast, and the development of Twitter is at the forefront of Internet companies.

...

Malibu, in a separate villa that occupies an entire cliff.

Private theater, the latest Harry Potter movie is being screened.

Sean Ackerman hugged a blonde woman, kneaded the softest position on the other person's body, looked at Hermione Granger on the screen, and said, "If you can get her, the movie investment you want , it's not a problem."

The blonde woman was coquettish: “Isn’t it enough to have me?”

"Different, different." Sean thought of the Venice Beach Club and looked at Hermione Granger, and some of the thoughts in his mind became stronger: "You are not tender enough."

The blonde woman reminded: "This Hermione was born in 1990."

Sean smiled happily: "13 years old? 13 years old is the best, I like it."

The assistant Fernando Crane, who came in, happened to hear the next two sentences and said to himself: "I like 13-year-old Hermione, too." But he knew very well that those who came from Latin America could enjoy it.

Those who become famous like Emma Watson are all things that are in the pocket of big shots.

As for age, age has never been a problem for Hollywood, based on what Fernando Crane has seen and heard in the Ackerman family over the years.

So many Hollywood child stars have fallen into being like being neither human nor ghost, which is not just the influence of fame and fortune and the greed of the guardian.

Everything they experienced was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Those who can fight out of it and still turn purple when they become adults are one with the care of the big guys, and the other must have experienced the hard work of thousands of hard work.

Fernando quickly came to Sean and said, "Boss, the people outside are back."

Sean let go of the blonde woman, trying to imitate her daddy Buddy Ackerman, and patted the woman on the shoulder: "Get Hermione over early, my check will be waiting."

The blonde woman had a collaboration with Warner Bros., and gritted her teeth and said, "I can only give it a try."

She is not stupid either. She wants to go to Warner first to find out which executive Hermione belongs to Warner.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

If it is producer David Heyman, you can think of a way.

Sean followed Fernando away from the cinema, took the elevator up, came to the second floor, and entered the study room on the side of the sea.

Fernando stopped automatically and guarded the entrance of the study.

In the study, Sean looked at Vaugnes who was waiting here and asked, "Have you met Barack Bernan in Rosario?"

"I met and talked a few times." Vaunes quickly organized the language and said, "Barack has no evil feelings towards the kindness we release, and is quite friendly to me."

Sean laughed, "Without Melissa, he always has to choose someone else."

Vaunes responded: "And you are the best choice."

Sean smiled even more happily.

Compared to his sister Melissa, Sean is much inferior in ability and cunning, and there is no reason why Buddy looks down on him.

Sean asked again: "Barack was in Rosario for so long, is there any clues to Melissa's disappearance?"

"Some have been found." Vaunes has learned a lot: "The clues trace a valley outside Rosario where there are burnt cars. The cars are the most common type in Mexico, with both engine numbers and frame numbers. Excluded, weapons and people were not found."

"It's good not to find it!" Sean hoped that Melissa would never be found.

Vaunes continued: "There are many people near Rosario, and the wilderness is everywhere, and the order is chaotic. It is too difficult for the attackers to leave the city and find them again. Barack hired professionals from Pinkerton, but still Unable to find the clue, the Pinkerton detective believed that the attacker had extremely strong anti-reconnaissance ability and was a professional like them."

Sean asked, “Are Barack still looking for it?”

"He hasn't given up yet, and is still looking for clues to find Melissa," Vaughans said.

Sean thought for a moment and said, "You go back to Mexico and keep staring at Barack Bernan and keep in touch with him."

There are some things he can imagine: "As Melissa disappears, Barack will gradually lose confidence, and he has no choice but to support me."

Vaunes immediately said: "I'll book a flight now, go back to Rosario immediately, and take people to follow Barack Bernan's team 24 hours a day to grasp their first-hand dynamics."

Sean said, “Go.”

Vaughans left the beach villa faster than he had been there.

Sean sat at the desk and suddenly felt the urge to call Buddy Ackerman.

But thinking about the old father who was angry yesterday because there was no news about Melissa, it is better to stay away from it for the time being.

Melissa is missing in the chaotic and backward Mexico. She has not found any useful clues for so many days, and she has not even had a single blackmail phone number. I think there is a lot of danger.

Now there is only one direct descendant of Buddy Ackerman.

Sean believes that even if his father had an organ transplant, he would not have had a few years of life. At that time, all the family legacy would be his only choice.

Fernando opened the door and entered the study at this time.

"Continue to recruit people, we must move and be prepared to take over the Ackerman Charity Foundation in all aspects."

Fernando replied: "As long as you give enough money, the manpower is not a problem."

Sean suddenly thought of one thing: "If you have the chance, find the blood bag and organ bank that the family raises." (End of this chapter)
