Chapter 123 The Destitute Stepmother

126. Mela in Despair

Mella was also suspicious of Ivanka's early departure and late return in the past few days. So when she went out again, Mela quietly followed her to a familiar place.

"Why is it here?" Mela looked at the heavily guarded villa.

After waiting for a long time by the lake, Ivanka slowly came out and drove away.

"Madam, my master invites you." JA suddenly appeared behind Mela and said.

With doubts, Mela followed JA into the ancient house.

After seeing the people inside clearly, Mela suddenly smiled.

It's easy to talk to people who understand. Two hours later, Mela left with a satisfied smile. (If you like this book, you can join the book club on the homepage.)

The next morning, Mela received a recruitment notice from the Xiaweiyi Model Agency. SK Model Agency will hire her as the company's chief consultant with an annual salary of $100,000.

To put it bluntly, it is just a "nice name."

Ivanka received an invitation from a real estate company under the WF Group, and naturally became the chief CEO of WF Real Estate.

Everyone was very curious about the "comeback" of the two, but because they reached a cooperation. The two kept their mouths shut about it, and tacitly publicized that it was introduced by a friend before.

Although Ivanka's ability is not very good, it is still possible to find an assistant for her. Tang Wen threw this matter to Zhou Xu to do, and he began to think about how to swallow the photo wall.

That is, FX, the largest dating software in the United States.

Unlike China's MQ, FX is now just a small company in Silicon Valley. However, their founder is a bit arrogant, saying that he only accepts 20% of the shares transfer and needs to be valued at 1 billion.

That arrogant tone made Tang Wen very unhappy. Although Tang Wen does not need to control how many shares, just looking at the founder's attitude, he must acquire him.

So the negotiations between the two sides were fruitless.

Tang Wen was so angry that he called Zhou Xu and ordered him.

"Poach all the technicians from FX. Double the salary. If double is not enough, triple it. A small company dares to ask for a sky-high price from me. Poach all the people and see how he runs it."

"Okay, boss."

Tang Wen really likes this way of poaching. Just like Qiao Si, the founder of the Fruit Group.

He cares too much about the rights and execution of the company. What is the result?

The venture capitalists couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him out of the board of directors and arranged him to the after-sales department.

Although Qiao Si later admitted his mistakes humbly and agreed to open the voting of venture capitalists and returned to the company, his prestige had basically been hollowed out by venture capitalists.

The venture capitalists in this world don't care if you burn money. What they care about is whether you can help them make money back. As for unconditional support for you? It depends on the situation.

No matter how strong your ability is, without the support of venture capitalists and capital, you will still be unable to move forward. Moreover, the ultimate goal of venture capital and capital is to make money. If you insist on burning money, you can burn out a good prospect.

If you can't burn out a reason, the money of venture capital and capital is not blown by the wind.

This is why Tang Wen gave up a lot of shares in the first round of WF Group.

Capital and venture capital are profit-seeking. Only when you let them see the benefits will they join you. Otherwise, they don't mind joining forces to kick you out and replace the same person with someone else.

Take Qiao Si of the Fruit Group for example. After he was kicked out, the capital holding the Fruit Company immediately put his deputy up, and the other person did no worse than Qiao Si.

Qiao Si saw that if he let his deputy continue to do it, he would really have no chance to do fruit business in the future. So he humbly found capital and signed a series of unreasonable contracts before regaining control of the Fruit Group this year.

This is the case in the real industry, let alone the financial industry. If you don't cooperate with capital, then you can only watch silently from the sidelines and be a bottom-level person with a basic salary.

If you are willing to cooperate, then capital will take you along. So the reason why Tang Wen poached people so wantonly in the United States and no one dared to stop him was because he himself was capital.

After letting Zhou Xu handle the FX matter, Tang Wen had a rare free time. Recently, he was either accompanying Erin Heatherton or his little witch, Karlie Kloss, and Frieda Gustafsson to go shopping everywhere.

After all, she was his woman, so Tang Wen still had to pamper her.

Just the shopping in the past few days cost Tang Wen more than 50 million US dollars. Anyway, there were cars, jewelry, and even two retired female special forces soldiers for each person.

Bored, Tang Wen took his Puma 2000 helicopter to New York. This time he went back to find the New York Boeing Group to customize a large private jet.

After landing on the helipad of his New York apartment, Tang Wen got on a customized Rolls-Royce and drove towards Boeing's New York office. As for why he came to New York?

That was because he couldn't always "forage" in one place, so he had to change places, so Tang Wen flew to New York.

With a "bang", a Lotus sports car hit the front side of Tang Wen's Rolls-Royce.

The traffic police on the side was just paying attention to which big shot's convoy this was, when suddenly a Lotus sports car crashed into it.

So the traffic police turned on the police lights and drove towards the crash site.

At the first moment of the crash, JA arranged a team member to check the situation. When he found that the traffic police on the opposite side came to deal with it, JA got out of the car to cooperate.

The police walked straight to Christul's car and tapped the window.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Please open the door and put your hands on the steering wheel. Let me see your hands clearly." The police ordered her.

After Christul did so, the police confirmed that she had no weapons and motioned her to get out of the car.

"Ma'am, I need to check your driving license. You hit them who were driving normally, and you need to bear all the responsibility for the accident." The police looked at Christul's driving license, turned to the back of the car to check the brake marks and said.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now." Christul took the driver's license and argued. No matter what, he couldn't say that he was distracted by talking on the phone with his girlfriend.

"Have you bought insurance here? If so, you'd better ask them to handle it." The policeman kindly reminded.

"No, we can solve it privately." Kristol shook his head and rejected the policeman's kindness.

"Well, you can park your car on the side of the road. Don't block traffic." The policeman nodded and signaled both parties to move their cars to the side of the road.

At this time, Tang Wen realized that it was the luminous woman Kristol who hit his car.

"She has a good figure, but unfortunately she is a lesbian." Tang Wen shook his head and said with great regret.

If Kristol had hit Tang Wen's Cadillac, she would probably have suffered. Unfortunately, she hit Tang Wen's newly bought Rolls-Royce. After refusing insurance, she had to pay 50,000 US dollars for repairs.

Kristol was surprised and said, "So expensive?"

"Madam, you hit a customized Rolls-Royce." JA said expressionlessly.

"Okay." Kristol sighed and handed JA a check.

"Leave a phone number, I will arrange someone to verify it when the time comes." JA looked at it and said.

Kristol wanted to yell, "I'm a big star after all, how can I be short of your 50,000 yuan?" But she didn't want to attract paparazzi, so she handed JA a business card with a phone number.

After getting in the Cadillac that came to pick him up, Tang Wen came to the legendary New York University. What a coincidence that she met Kristol again.

At this time, she was complaining to a pair of twin sisters whose names she couldn't tell.

After seeing JA accompanying Tang Wen, she frowned at first.

"What's wrong, Chris?" The two girls said in unison.

"Today is really unlucky. I just hit their car, and I didn't expect to meet them here again." Kristol quietly pointed at JA and the others.

"Chris, you are too bold. Do you know what car that is? That's Presidential No. 1." Twin Dali said enviously.

"Presidential No. 1?" Kristol asked in doubt.

"Oh my God, you don't even know this, do you?" Sister Ellie said with an expression of admiration.

"Is it very famous?" Kristol asked.

"The starting price is 8 million US dollars, what do you think?" Ellie rolled her eyes and said.

"Wow, it's expensive." Kristol responded with astonishment.

Tang Wen didn't take the little episode just now seriously. He came here to see NYU and discover "new prey" by the way.

But for some reason, Tang Wen walked around the school with a mask on for several times and didn't find anyone he liked. The only cheerleaders he liked were those whose skin was tanned by ultraviolet light.

It didn't suit Tang Wen's appetite at all. Tang Wen always thought that foreigners looked better with white skin. That healthy wheat color is more suitable for Latin American people. After all, appearance determines everything.

Disappointed, Tang Wen lost interest in continuing the visit and asked JA to drive to Boeing.

"Let's go back to Hollywood to find food. The movies are all lies." Tang Wen said indignantly.

After arriving at Boeing's New York office, Tang Wen directly stated his requirements. A 747-8 was converted into a luxury villa in the sky, and it must have a swimming pool.

According to Tang Wen's request, Boeing gave a luxurious design plan with a price of up to 30 million US dollars.

"OK, this is it." Tang Wen was too lazy to look at it, and he swiped his card and left.

The price of Boeing 747-8 is as high as 300 million US dollars. With the decoration, the cost of Tang Wen's aircraft has reached 330 million US dollars. Of course, for Tang Wen, money doesn't matter, the main thing is to be happy.

After paying the money, Boeing also signed a contract with Tang Wen, agreeing to deliver it in 3 months.
