how i bought the whole world

It’s not once or twice that I said that Brandon is the boss. Both Chris and Tiffany have heard this sentence. Brandon is undoubtedly a good and responsible secretary, but he is particularly stubborn about certain things, so To say he is my boss is an understatement.

I fried the steak, made a fruit salad, and I dug caviar from the refrigerator with eggs as a starter for dinner. Although the steak was a bit raw and the salad dressing was too much, it was paired with $[-] worth of wine. These small mistakes Not worth mentioning, Brandon tried to take a bite, with a relaxed expression on his face, "Much better than I imagined, Mr. Field."

"I'm a stay-at-home type now," I told him. "That's your work, Brandon."

Brandon has worked hard to build momentum for my reputation this year. He arranged a lot of interviews for me, not only professional reports on the financial and business circles, but also sports interviews that housewives love to watch. They all have one thing in common: the magazine they belong to has a huge circulation, and Brandon tries to shape me into a sincere, enthusiastic, approachable new financial celebrity, who loves life and cleanliness, never indulges in pleasure, and his biggest hobby It’s doing charity to give back to the public—Americans like to watch this, they come from ordinary backgrounds but end up in the top place, even if they are prosperous, they never forget their roots, the same as the two major e-commerce websites I own, the ultimate goal is to serve the American people.

Thanks to him, my reputation has risen this year, and I will meet a few strangers who take the initiative to say hello when I walk.Of course, my fortune was snowballing too, unbeknownst to them.

Brandon blinked. "Is that a compliment? I thought you'd be more explicit about thanking me for my efforts."

"Oh, then let me make it clear." I smiled and raised the red wine in my hand. "To my dearest Secretary Brandon."

"To my boss, Mr. William Field."

The two cups touched lightly in mid-air.

We took a sip of wine and then talked about this afternoon, Brandon was still amazed by the 590 million that Robert and I made practicing hands, he sighed, "I didn't expect Twitter to develop so fast now , when it was established, I thought it was just a tool for you to increase your popularity."

I shrugged. "It's still the same sentence Brandon, free business opportunities, this will never change."

In fact, there is a little story here. In 02, I met a man named Mark when I was looking for the top computer talents at Harvard University.A boy from Zuckerberg, he wants to design a website called facemash that allows college students to select beauties online. Although he just proposed an idea and has not started construction yet, I have a hunch that this website will be popular in the entire university. I want to buy this website and change it into a registered social photo sharing website. Anyone who registers can post their own photos on the website and let friends around them comment and leave messages. This idea is similar to Mark.Zuckerberg coincides with each other, but he is a very ambitious person, unwilling to let go of this idea, and there is no shortage of sponsors-one named Eduardo.Saverin's rich Jewish boy is his best friend, for which I had to find the father of blogging, Evan.Williams, tell him my idea, in August 02, we partnered to launch the concept of Twitter.

I took advantage of being in the University of Boston, and within two months passed the tweet from Harvard University to Boston University, New York University, University of Rochester, Stanford University and other famous universities. In the eyes of college students, it seems that you don’t play You are out of date on Twitter, and then this trend spread to all top financial companies, anyone can express their feelings within a few minutes during their lunch break, or share photos for people to repost and comment, finally at the beginning of 03, New York Wall Street has also entered the social age ahead of schedule.

However, Twitter can only send short Weibo with a word count of less than 140 characters at the beginning. The result I want is that it can send multiple pictures and slightly longer text, but Evan.Williams believes that adding these features does not necessarily make the site too complicated, Twitter is characterized by its short and concise, I agreed with his idea after considering his opinion, but at the same time found someone else to do what I originally intended , named imageworld.

And Mark.Zuckerberg followed up with Facebook, and his facemash was completed in August 02, a year earlier than he told me, but facemash was shut down by Harvard a few days after it went online, but Zuckerberg did not give up. He then cleverly improved facemash into Facebook, which is also a social networking site for photo sharing. This time, Facebook went online smoothly.

Then I got bad news and good news, bad news Mark.Zuckerberg was aware of my ambitions, and would rather find other backers to buy shares than let me approach his company. He was afraid that I would take away his rights, and he also wanted to use Facebook and my imageworld to compete.The good news is, he and his best friend, Chief Financial Officer Eduardo.Saverin fell out. If he hadn't appointed two other chief financial officers to suppress Eduardo's power, maybe Facebook would be in a financial turmoil now.

I really like Eduardo, a guy who is kind, loyal, and a little bit arrogant. After he was heartbroken by that idiot Zuckerberg, I warmly invited him to come to Boston to work for me, but Eduardo refused. , he told me that he had made a promise with Mark never to work for another social networking company, and wanted to keep that promise even if they fell out, and I regretted it for days.

"How did you find Evan Williams?" Brandon asked me. "I remember when you came back from Harvard and flew straight to the West Coast to meet him. It was almost predictable."

I shook the red wine, "Brandon, don't think I'm too magical, I can't predict the future, Chris set up an investment advisory team for me, they have gathered a large number of projects waiting for investment and companies ready to sell. I was told that the pyra lab founded by Evan and his collaborator Hulihan, who had developed the first web application called Blogger, that’s why I’m looking for Evan Williams.” I paused to take a sip of my drink, “Actually, Evan was just a candidate before Zuckerberg, but Zuckerberg turned me down, I had to choose Evan, Zuckerberg is too ambitious, and no one is allowed to dictate in his company, and I happen to be the one who likes to dictate."

……

Brandon didn't go home that night, but slept in my guest room. We flew to Singapore early the next morning. After a fourteen-hour flight, we met Philomena at Singapore's international airport.Garcia, this Latin American girl has become more beautiful and mature in this year - she was originally talented and capable in doing things, and now she has a faint general demeanor, which makes me secretly satisfied. The Asian market is right to hand over to her.

"Mr. Field, Mr. Winston, don't you need to go to the hotel to rest?" Philomena asked.

"No, Philomena, just take us to the company, isn't the meeting starting in two hours?" I adjusted my watch to Singapore time.

The purpose of our coming to Singapore is to listen to Philomena's report on the development of WFEC.Asia in this quarter, so I don't intend to waste time on rest, I just took a short nap on the way in the car, in fact, this meeting can be viewed through the network But I have always attached importance to the Asian market, so I decided to come with Brandon in person.Judging from the financial statements and sales submitted by Philomena, e-commerce in Asia is developing very rapidly, especially my home base in Huaguo. With the help of Bunraku Group, almost all the way to the green light, in addition to Japan Compared with Hong Kong, the Japanese have developed purchasing power and are extremely strong against piracy. Therefore, sales of electronic audio-visual, books, and clothing accessories are booming. This is good news for the Atlantic Ocean, and Hong Kong is the same. The only headache is Huaguo. In the market, counterfeit and shoddy products that are hard to detect appear on the cruiser website. There is no law enforcement power to ban them, and they are too rampant. As a result, Huaguo has become the only region where cruiser development has surpassed the Atlantic Ocean.

But fortunately, China has a large population base and high profits. Even if it is attacked by counterfeit products, the profit of Atlantic is far better than that of other countries. We just need to prove that the quality of Atlantic products is the best, because there are still some customers who are Prefer high quality items.

I asked a few questions about the future development of WFEC.Asia, and Philomena gave reasonable answers. She pointed out that some publicity methods are very novel, and I think they can also be used for reference in the European market, especially about the Internet. Regarding the future development of advertising, Philomena believes that advertising will be one of our main income in the future, and I agree with this very much.

"Brandon, is it all recorded?"

"Yes boss, we can discuss it again after we go back."

I was satisfied in my heart, and put the pen in my hand gently on the table. I planned to invite all the senior executives of the Asian branch to dinner after the meeting, including Philomena. During this virtual trip, a problem suddenly appeared in the PPT in the meeting room.

The speaker in front of the projector suddenly released a strange sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked up to see what happened in front of them, and I did the same, so I saw a scene that surprised me.

The picture broadcast on the curtain suddenly changed. It was no longer a data change chart of sales of various product categories displayed on it, but a few unsightly pornographic nudity pictures with a dark background.

And as the picture changes, the scale of these pictures is getting bigger and bigger.

There was no sound in the meeting room for a moment, and several people stared wide-eyed and looked at each other.

"What's going on?" I frowned.

No one answered me.The staff showing the PPT panicked. Looking at Philomena again, she was also shocked. She stepped forward and tried to close the program, but the computer seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and she couldn't close it no matter how hard she tried.

I stood up, put my hands in my trouser pockets, and said coldly, "I need a reasonable explanation."
