Chapter 225 Verbal thank you?
Bai Ye looked at this unsatisfactory thing speechlessly.
I want you to be ruthless, not to make you absolutely desperate.
"I can't carry it, I can't carry it at all!"
Bai Ye shook his head, the mecha started and took off:
"You can go play by yourself. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you."
【Ding! You defeated the super villain Electro and guarded the peace of New York. 】
[Rewards are being settled...]
[Reward: 3500 points. 】
"Not bad. The shocking price of 7 yuan is not a wasted trip."
Bai Ye was satisfied.
Riding the Green Goblin mecha, he went to Wendy's house, hugged her from left to right, and slept with Wendy and Nalan all night.
midnight.
Unfortunately, Japan encountered another attack. An explosion occurred outside the toilet of their home. This time, the attack took place at their yellow worker.
…
The next day.
While Bai Ye was having breakfast with Wendy and Nalan, Bai Ye was scrolling through Twitter and discovered the news.
"Wow, Japan is a country with too many disasters, isn't it?" Bai Ye said regretfully: "I really don't know where they offended those lawless terrorists, and they actually carried out bombings in their country one after another. Tsk tsk, It’s so… pitiful!”
Lan couldn't help but feel very sad: "Oh my god, how could this happen? It's so scary. What if...what if there is still someone alive inside Huang Gong?"
Wendy is also praying for the disaster-stricken Japan: "I hope there will be no casualties."
"Well, although Japan has done so many things, we shouldn't gloat at this time. After all, it's life. Please treat it rationally. I hope the Japanese don't... ahem, things will be fine."
Bai Ye choked and coughed.
"By the way Wendy." Bai Ye took a sip of milk and said: "During this period, Galaxy Capital has conducted another capital operation, which will probably earn more than 20 billion US dollars. You have the funds to acquire Twitter, and the acquisition plan is also You can get started.”
"So fast?"
Wendy blinked and asked:
"What did Galaxy Capital do to make more than 20 billion US dollars?"
"secret."
Byakuya shrugged.
Originally, Bai Ye had planned to rob all the cultural relics in the British Museum, return them to their original countries, and then blow up the British Museum. He could also take the opportunity to harvest the London stock market and use the money to Wendy's acquired Twitter to form the Galaxy Group's Internet media matrix.
But didn't Bai Ye find better investment and operation opportunities along the way? Then let Daying wait a little longer.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore." Wendy said: "According to the plan we discussed, we must first acquire at least 10% of Twitter's shares and become Twitter's largest shareholder. According to Twitter's current US$23.5 billion Market value, you have to at least give me $2.35 billion in Mercury Internet Media Company’s account first.”
"Little case."
Bai Ye made an OK gesture.
Wendy: "Also, let me remind you that if you acquire 5% of a company's shares, you must make an announcement. This is very detrimental to us. You have to find a way to solve the regulatory problem."
Bai Ye nodded: "Don't worry, those regulatory rules are to restrict new money and will not apply to us. If you acquire 10% of the shares and then announce it, there will be no problem."
In fact, when Musk, Bai Ye’s current younger brother, acquired Twitter, he acquired 9.5% of the shares and became Twitter’s largest shareholder in one fell swoop before making an announcement - this shows that some things are rules, but they are not It does not apply to everyone. Some people are born specifically to break the rules.
Baiye’s plan to acquire Twitter is also preparing to imitate Musk’s process——
1. He secretly bought 9.5% of the shares and became the largest shareholder.
2. Take advantage of the situation and launch a tender offer.
3. Play hard to get, shareholders object to the stock price falling and withdraw the offer plan.
4. Taking advantage of the situation and taking down Twitter half-heartedly during the court battle.
5. By changing the pillars, Twitter expanded uncontrollably and transformed into the American version of WeChat.
Of course, Bai Ye's process is just imitation, not copying, because some conditions are different.
For example, when Musk acquired Twitter, Twitter had already reached its limit and was on the decline. It was better to sell it at a better price. At this time, Twitter had not yet seen its limit.
But Bai Ye also has advantages that Musk does not have. For example, the Osborne family belongs to the old American plutocrats. Compared with new money like Musk, it has an unparalleled network advantage in the political and business circles; and Bai Ye also has The artificial intelligence "White Queen", after acquiring Twitter, can help Twitter take off. On the contrary, it can suppress Twitter to death, etc.
"That would be great." Wendy geared up excitedly: "Acquiring a social giant is an exciting thing to think about."
When Wendy and Nalan were investing in Lofes, the funds they could control were less than 10 million US dollars at most, but Bai Ye now gave her the opportunity to control more than 20 billion US dollars.
This alone is enough to give Wendy a qualitative leap in her status and influence in the venture capital circle. Even if Bai Ye doesn't want her anymore, with her qualifications, she can still become a big boss in the venture capital circle. .
"It's not fair." Na Lan was jealous: "We are all doing things for you. Wendy can do such a big business, but I can only work slowly and do fine work?"
Bai Ye smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll approve another US$1 billion in funds for you, okay?"
"$2 billion."
"Okay."
Seeing Bai Ye agreeing so happily, Lan immediately regretted it. The price she bid was too low. It seemed that Bai Ye had really made a lot of money this time, and 2 billion US dollars was not considered money.
Galaxy Capital.
"How much money did you make in total this time?"
Bai Ye asked, jumping on his legs and smoking a cigar.
"$24.873 billion."
Jordan sniffed the cigar handed over by Bai Ye and grinned:
"Young master, you are really amazing. You had predicted in advance that the Japanese stock market would fall, and asked us to short the Japanese index. By accident, we made tens of billions of dollars."
"Buffett now has the nerve to use his name as the god of stocks to show off and cheat? What the hell, you are the real god of stocks!"
"Hey, it's passed, it's passed." Bai Ye waved his hand and said: "Buffett is a senior after all, and his value investment philosophy is still good."
"Young master, you are too humble. What kind of value investment is this? It's just that Buffett relied on his strong capital to crush his opponents to death with money, and then harvested them. There is no technical content at all. He just reduced his skills to ten." Jordan said : "But Master, you are different. You can predict the trend of the global stock market with absolute accuracy, and you can make tens of billions of dollars in a short period of time. This is the real technology flow. In other words, Master, you keep a low profile and are not willing to steal the limelight, otherwise If so, old man Buffett would be so ashamed that he would commit suicide."
"Haha, okay, stop flattering me." Bai Ye smiled and said, "The employees have worked hard too, and the reward plan must be done well. If you mess with me, I eat meat, and I can't miss a mouthful of soup from them."
"Don't worry, it's been done a long time ago."
"In addition, don't forget to pay attention to the London stock market. There may be opportunities in the future."
Bai Ye warned.
The money for the acquisition of Twitter this time was helped by the Japanese stock market. Next time Byakuya plans to let Ikana acquire NBC Universal, let the London stock market help it.
Jordan: "Yes, I understand."
Bai Ye read Galaxy Capital's financial report and ordered Jordan to send money to Wendy's Mercury Internet Media and Nalan's Jupiter Agriculture.
After settling the matter with Galaxy Capital, Baiye went to Saturn Bio.
After swallowing up the Brand Group and the Life Foundation, it also launched version 2.0 of the Extremis Virus. Now Saturn Bio has become a huge behemoth, second only to Osborne's medical complex.
The resources at hand are quite huge, and many projects are being carried out at the same time.
For example, the research on symbionts and the research on Hulk serum-Hulk serum comes from the blood that Bai Ye took from Hulk when Hulk and Abomination were fighting.
"Master Stern, how does it feel to be back in New York?"
Bai Ye asked with a smile.
"It's not bad." Serior Stern said while eating a hamburger: "I had a pretty good time in Hengsan. Maybe it's because I'm an American. The people there almost all regard us as Nobles will treat me. But there are two things that torture me very much. One is their unhygienic food, and the other is the lack of toilets."
"They also have burgers there, but I saw their production process... After paying the money, I threw it into the trash can and didn't dare to eat it."
"Haha, Heng San, that's it."
Bai Ye laughed.
After chatting about daily life, Bai Ye asked about work issues: "Master Stern, do you have any specific ideas about the research on symbionts?"
——Extremis Virus 2.0 and Extremis Virus 3.0 versions have been successfully developed. There is no need for Serol Stern, an S-class biological scientist, to do the next work. It is enough to leave it to the engineers to do the follow-up work. , so in order not to waste Serol Stern's talent, Bai Ye developed all the research on Saturn's biology for Serol Stern, allowing him to choose the projects he was interested in at will, and then S Stern picked two projects that he was interested in: symbiotes and Hulk serum.
"Symbiosis, this is really a very magical creature." When he talked about this, Serge Stern became interested: "I have never seen such a non-carbon-based, thoughtful, alien creature. Star organic life symbiont..."
He began to tell Bai Ye endlessly how magical the biological structure of the symbiote was.
Bai Ye interrupted him with a smile:
"Master Stern, you know... it's hard for ordinary people to understand so much of your professional knowledge. I just want to know, is there a way to transform the symbiote into a reproductive armor?"
Just like what Bai Ye said to Harry last night, the steel armor only has the function of physics. Facing the elementalization ability of Electro, Harry almost overturned. Fortunately, he also has the physical strengthening ability of Extremis Virus, and the steel armor Combined with the Extremis virus, it is not that safe. There are also mental attacks and soul attacks that will work.
So for this, the forced breeding armor based on symbiote is very necessary.
Because symbionts have strong soul resistance, they are alien single-celled organisms and naturally do not have souls. However, because of this, their matrix can resist soul attacks, such as the attack by Ghost Rider against Venom. Even though the Eye of Judgment was used, it had no effect on the venom.
Moreover, the symbionts are also resistant to magic. Because the symbionts' physical structure and genetic relationship allow them to avoid a large amount of magic damage, they are just not completely immune to magic attacks.
So Bai Ye thought about erasing the symbiote's mind and using it to make a strong breeding armor. This would not only have a huge effect on people around Bai Ye like Harry, but Bai Ye himself would also need it.
Because Bai Ye's Patriot template is based on Superman, he probably has the same weakness as Superman - magic resistance.
——Of course, Superman is not completely without magic. He just has low magic resistance. It is sky-high compared to ordinary people. After all, ordinary people have suffered so much and are gone. Superman has thick blood and is just weak for a while. That’s all.
If Bai Ye doesn't want to end up like Superman, being beaten by magic, he must find a way to increase his magic resistance - in Super Batman V1, Batman in the future wizard king timeline easily knocked down Superman with magic props; In another tampered timeline of Super Batman V1, Superman was possessed by the dead until Batman used Zatanna's gem to imprison the dead; Superman was directly controlled by magic by the witch; Superman's super vision cannot see through buildings blessed with magic. ; DC magicians themselves believe that magic is one of the ways to defeat Superman besides kryptonite.
"In the time since I came back, I have only conducted a preliminary test on the symbiote. I don't know enough yet, so I can't guarantee this. I can only say that there is still a possibility." Serior Stern did not dare Too full of words: "I need to study it in depth for a period of time before I can make an accurate judgment."
"No problem!" Bai Ye said with a smile: "Master Stern, your research funds will be quite abundant in the future. As long as you don't deliberately want to bankrupt me, a creature from Saturn, I will give you as much funds as you want. "
"I don't dare, I don't dare, it will be enough." Serior Stern waved his hand and said: "However, rather than immediately studying the possibility of whether the symbiote can be used as a reproductive armor, I think we should Focus on the research on the division and reproduction of symbionts. After all, there are only three symbionts in total on the earth now. If there is an accident in the research, there will be no substitute."
"Of course, even if the forced breeding armor cannot be made, the symbiote still has very outstanding value. Naturally, it is impossible for the symbiote to become extinct like this." Bai Ye nodded and said: "Then Master Stern, you first study how to breed. Symbiote."
Bai Ye is not particularly eager to research the forced breeding armor, as long as it can be done before Dormammu, Thanos and other heavenly father-level bosses run rampant on the earth.
Bai Ye really likes the various abilities of the symbiote. In addition to soul resistance and magic resistance, the symbiote can also copy the power of others and convert it into its own power. Among the Toby spiders, Spider-Man's spider sense is copied - —If Byakuya gets the Strong Breeding Armor, he would also like to copy it on Gwen, her spider sense ability, which is a very useful skill.
But Bai Ye definitely doesn't want a second consciousness to exist in his body. This would make him very awkward and uncomfortable, as if he might be taken over or replaced by someone at any time.
After having the toxin in Mary Jane's body, Bai Ye was a little weak and did what everyone loved to do with Mary Jane.
Fortunately, Mary Jane explained to Bai Ye that because the birth conditions of the toxin are very special, the toxin obtained is like a newly born child with a weak self-awareness, mainly Mary Jane, and Mary Jane He was also able to block his own mental connections about toxins, which made Bai Ye feel more relieved.
…
Bai Ye and Tony met at a club.
"Hey, have you heard? There seems to be a problem at the Japanese nuclear power plant recently."
Tony put his arm around the waist of a beautiful woman, drank wine, and talked to Bai Ye.
"Why are you following what others say? I think we should look at the problem rationally and not be led astray by public opinion. In fact, the problem with Japan's nuclear power plants is not that serious..." Bai Ye shrugged and said, "How do you know I know? I just bought it. I caught a fish, and the fish pinched my neck and told me so!”
Tony: "..."
He glanced at Bai Ye speechlessly and said:
"I think Japan is indeed very wrong about the whole story, but we'd better find a way to solve the problem instead of just gloating over it."
"You know the ins and outs of Japan's entire nuclear power plant problem, and you still sympathize with them?" Bai Ye curled his lips and said: "Japan is a nation that has small etiquette but no great righteousness, seeks self-interest without benevolence, and pulls the whole world into war. Japan made the mistake of footing the bill...tsk, tsk, it is indeed something they can do."
"Fortunately, the United States sits on two oceans. We don't know when the problem will develop here. Tony, have you ever thought about a problem - that is, our Arab friends can only drink desalinated seawater. What will they do in the future? Survive?"
Tony was stunned.
Indeed, Japan's approach will only cause limited damage to the United States, but for Arab friends... it will be a sure blow.
Seawater desalination equipment cannot filter radioactive elements.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Bai Ye lit a cigarette and said, "Last night, my stupid Oudou Harry put on a mecha to fight against a super villain. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he overturned. .”
"What's wrong? Did you lose the battle?" Tony also became interested: "Let me just say that your Ivan Vanke's skills are not good. Copy I made a mecha. If you don't show up, you will kneel down and show your true colors. Right? How about I help you upgrade and modify the mechas you use in the future?"
"It's not the problem of the mecha itself, but the problem of the enemy." Bai Ye sighed and said: "The opponent he met last night was a villain codenamed Electric Man. His ability is electric, although it is not as strong as Destruction. Doctor, his body can be transformed into energy, and he directly broke through the defense of the steel armor and attacked the driver inside the armor."
"What?"
The wine in Tony's mouth spurted out. He didn't have time to wipe his mouth and asked hurriedly:
"Then your brother is not dead, right?"
"He's not dead." Bai Ye said: "His body has also been strengthened by the Extremis virus and is not so easy to kill. However, the weakness of the steel armor technology is presented in front of us. We must not leave it alone, Tony. We need to stand up and figure out how to deal with the invasion of the steel armor by the elemental super villains."
Tony pondered for a moment and said: "I know this, how to upgrade it, and I also have an idea. Give me some time, I should be able to develop technology to resist elementalization, um... I can use electromagnetic protection."
"As long as you have an idea." Bai Ye took a sip of ice wine and said: "There are also some problems, because Harry's experience made me think that in addition to the elemental ability, the steel armor also has to defend against mental attacks. Like the old bald man from Xavier College, his mental power is extremely powerful. He doesn't need to defeat your armor, he can penetrate matter with his thoughts and act directly on your brain."
"OK, let me think about how to carry out mental defense..."
"By the way, there is also Magneto, the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants. His power acts directly on metal. If your steel armor encounters it, it will be delivering food, so you must invent anti-magnetic technology."
"this……"
"Also, as I talked to you before, there are magicians in this world. Your steel armor has no magic resistance. What should you do if you encounter a magician? You also have to find a way to invent magic resistance technology. Think about it, a magician can use a spell to turn you into an animal, a tree, or stop your time. No matter how powerful your steel armor is, will it be useful?"
"I'll go fuck your sister!" Tony was a dog-faced person, and he fell out on the spot: "What did you think of me? I'm a donkey. You have created so many things, let me solve them for you at the same time. ? Even if you are exhausted, I can't do it! You can figure it out on your own, I won't accompany you anymore!"
His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, he put on his clothes and left in a hurry.
"Tsk, you are so arrogant!"
Bai Ye swayed the wine glass leisurely, not in a hurry.
Because he knew that the person who should be anxious was Tony himself.
With this guy's pride, he suddenly learned that the steel armor that he was most proud of in his life had so many things that could restrain him. It was no wonder that he wasn't uncomfortable.
He said he would let Bai Ye find a solution on his own, but how could he possibly want to rely on Bai Ye to solve the problem?
Next, this guy will probably have to go home and work overtime to come up with ways to deal with mental attacks, soul attacks, and magic attacks.
Bai Ye did not place all hope of solving the magic resistance and mental resistance on the symbiote's force-reproducing armor. He could also give it a try and see if Tony could use scientific methods to solve the problem.
After parting ways with Tony, the time came to dusk. Seeing the off-duty time, Baiye went to the office building of Tianmei Studio to pick up Wendy after get off work.
In the car.
"Have the funds arrived in the account?"
"Already arrived."
Wendy was so excited in the car that she rushed towards Bai Ye, hugged Bai Ye and kissed her fiercely:
"Thanks."
"Just a verbal thank you?"
Wendy smiled charmingly: "Isn't this enough?"
"Well... barely enough."
Bai Ye touched Wendy's undulating hair and smiled lightly. Sure enough, hard work will not be let down, and hard work will eventually pay off.
