Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1772 - 1871: Objective

"Haha, Momo, nice job!

Lin Youwei slyly gave Tang Mo a thumbs up: I just saw Ivana’s expression change a bit.

She surely thinks you are just a female student who knows nothing.

No, she wants to take control of the negotiation.

Tang Mo actually saw through Ivana’s intentions immediately. If things were as she said and Tencent

indeed led this acquisition, she would undoubtedly be the main player in this deal, while Tang Mo would just assist.

But Su Zhe’s intentions are very clear; he doesn’t want Tencent to be involved, so he let Tang Mo handle

the online payment aspect personally. The future will involve banks and funds flow, and it cannot fall

into foreign hands, even though Su Zhe is acquiring a foreign company.

Moreover, the sensitivity of funds is a crucial factor.

After Tang Mo finished speaking, Ivana actually understood a bit. After Tang Mo and Lin Youwei visited the company’s

headquarters, they left with the information. Ivana watched Tang Mo’s shadow, although throughout the process

Tang Mo gave her the impression of being reserved, seemingly young; but she is definitely very smart, and emotionally intelligent.

This is somewhat like Su Zhe, both begin unobtrusively, but anyone who underestimates them pays a heavy price.

Indeed, no wonder they are targets of ion green glue, 270 is certainly a potential stock, I’m feeling pressured.

Ivana murmured, turning back to the office.

In the grand dining room of T Hotel, Tang Mo and two others shared a room.

This is a loft-style room, with the second floor being the grand suite, and the first floor for the assistant and bodyguards.

The nightly rate, of course, is not cheap, requiring over a thousand British pounds, but this is Ivana’s family’s property,

thus provided free of charge. Mo Yu finished showering, donned the hotel pajamas, and sat in front of the computer.

She was browsing the information provided by Ivana while searching for details on Musk and others on Google.

Besides Elon Musk as the founder, there was another figure and one—Pique Lauren,

who co-founded this online financial service and email payment company.

Currently, Parker Lauren is the company’s Chief Technology Officer, holding 30% of shares, Musk

has 51%, and another 15% is with a Silicon Valley investor. In this acquisition, he’s actually inconsequential; he just wants X Company to be sold quickly to reap profits.

Many of Silicon Valley’s investment companies operate with this intent. Their goal in investing

in companies is to gain significant profits, rather than making the company larger and stronger; Silicon Valley has tens of thousands of companies,

but very few actually stand out. They treat investment companies as businesses.

Su Zhe and Mo Yu discussed this, and Su Zhe also talked with Tang Mo about Musk and Parker Lauren.

Thus, Tang Mo understands these two individuals quite well.

Musk seeks the future, whereas Parker Lauren cherishes X.com like his child. Tang Mo analyzed the two’s psychology towards X Company and imagined how to persuade them tomorrow.

The night passed quickly.

Tang Mo pondered about the acquisition and some ideas till late at night, then fell asleep deeply. The next morning,

she woke up refreshed, washed up, and opened the bedroom door, seeing that Lin Youwei, the business fanatic, hadn’t gotten up yet.

Today, they will act separately.

Lin Youwei will head to another company—Confinity, the Feifeini Company!

This company would later become the true predecessor of the PayPal Payment Company, with X Company being just an outsider.

Next year, to resolve online rapid transfer business competition, Elon Musk merged with

Confinity, setting up PayPal Company; PayPal is actually an application developed under Confinity,

meaning Musk had the payment website, while Confinity had the payment software; together they formed the real PayPal, like Dual Swords combined.

Alipay initially also encompassed both application and website.

In 1999, it was merely an individual application, unlike the future’s mobile apps.

Without strong backing and a website, it’s hard to convince users, but with the support of a major website,

even the worst application will have downloads.

It’s like a guarantee.

It tackles the quick transfer issue online, achieving online and offline seamless transactions.

Though lukewarm in the industry, it hadn’t taken off.

Iron Man

however needs a core payment software to swiftly complete

payments on their website.

Currently, X Company’s online financial services and email payment business rely on banks and

third parties; users have to use online banking for remittance and transfer to pay, which is quite cumbersome.

PayPal eliminates the need to log into third parties and online banks; a bank card directly enables automatic deduction.

This is the strength of Yuan Fenidi Company.

At present, Musk obviously does not yet know of such a company’s existence; it will be discovered at the end of the year upon shopping on eBay

that this company’s extraordinary nature is revealed.

This sparks his idea for Taiping.

Ultimately, he succeeded.

The merged PayPal became the world’s strongest online payment company, creating

four billionaires besides Musk and Parker, including Confinity’s two founders—Peter Thiel and Max Laff.

These two are undoubtedly elite; the former later earned the title of Silicon Valley’s angel, the thought leader in investment.

His fame doesn’t stem from investing in founding PayPal, but from unearthing fourteen successful tech startups like Face,

LinkedIn, SpaceX rockets, Yelp, etc.

He provided early capital for them and received substantial returns.

Among them, investing $500,000 in Face produced $60 million returns, a classic tech investment case.

These companies were later successfully operated by PayPal colleagues; these people are known as the "PayPal Mafia" in Chain Valley.

Max Laff also should not be underestimated.

He departed PayPal, subsequently joined Google and Yahoo, managing engineering and technology as Vice Presidents.

Regarding this acquisition, Su Zhe not only gains control of future internet finances’ giant crocodile, but also four valuable generals; undeniably a highly profitable deal.

Tang Mo and Bian Mei got into Ivana’s car, while Lin Youwei hailed a cab, heading in another direction. "Where is Lisa going?"

Ivana curiously asked, as she knew Lin Youwei’s identity; "Lisa" is Lin Youwei’s English name.

She went to execute another business!

Tang Mo smiled at Ivana: "Let’s go, we’re heading to X Company!"

Ivana shrugged her shoulders, sensing that this acquisition had Tang Mo confident; could she really be confident?

Ivana had heard of Musk early on; he’s not one lacking money. Just this year, he sold a company to an infamous US computer manufacturing firm, Combo, earning $22 million US Dollars.
