Chapter 130 Adam
"Sending a 200-million gift to a streamer?" Benjamin, who had seen a lot, was still shocked by the Boring Surf incident. "Is there really such a fool in the world?"
Hilda smiled slightly and said, "Yes, there is."
Benjamin looked at Hilda suspiciously and said, "Isn't this a stunt by your Shark platform? This Boring Surf isn't one of your people, is he?"
"Of course not!" Hilda said confidently, "We can write this into the contract. If Boring Surf is indeed one of our people, we will compensate your company 1.2 billion. After all, once your company buys 25% of our shares, you'll be the largest shareholder of our Shark platform. You won't miss any of our accounts! If this Boring Surf is really a marketing ploy by Shark Live, your company will naturally find the evidence and make us pay! I'm so confident because this super-rich Boring Surf is real, and so is NovaGaze, who competed with Boring Surf in wealth!"
Seeing Hilda speak so confidently, Benjamin began to believe a little and sighed. "You guys are really lucky!"
Originally, a project that could be taken down with 800 million might now require 2 billion.
It was because of Boring Surf's appearance that the commercial value of Shark Live increased significantly, giving Hilda the confidence to raise the price.
Benjamin also felt that Hilda had the right to raise the price.
If Benjamin were in Hilda's shoes, he would also raise the price after the Boring Surf incident. This was the behavior of a mature businessman. The only immature thing about Hilda was her arrogance, but she was young after all, and young people were always arrogant, which was understandable.
"We are very lucky!" Hilda said proudly, "This Boring Surf is practically my good friend. I could have sold for 1 billion, but he allows me to sell for 2 billion. I really have to thank him!"
"Hilda, you are truly accomplished at a young age, very enviable," Benjamin said, "But Hilda, your sudden price increase is beyond my authority. I must consult Adam!"
Hilda said, "Sure. Please send my regards to Adam. Adam is one of the idols for all young Internet entrepreneurs, the other being Erin."
Benjamin nodded silently and went to the next office to call Adam from Penguin Company.
Adam was no longer young.
The position of the richest person in Golden Valley rotated among Adam, Erin, and Ken, with occasional others taking the top spot.
From a high vantage point, one saw far.
Adam now not only hoped his Penguin Company would continue to grow and sell well overseas but also wanted to build another network ecosystem outside of Evalia. He hoped his company would always be successful.
The spirited Adam was now practicing calligraphy.
Adam, being refined, liked famous calligraphy and paintings.
After finishing a piece of writing, his phone rang.
In his view, Penguin Company should be an entertainment company, from basic literary works like web novels to comics, animations, movies, TV series, online games, single-player games, instant messaging, and celebrity cultivation. Penguin Company's ambitions were very large.
Before Adam could act, his considerate assistant had already connected the call and respectfully handed the phone to Adam.
"What? Hilda wants to raise the price? Boring Surf? I see. Give me ten minutes," Adam said, turning to another assistant. "Go get me all the information on Boring Surf!"
The assistant was efficient, and within two minutes, Boring Surf's detailed information was in front of Adam.
'This seems like a hacker's doing. Interesting. Funny!' Looking at the details of the Boring Surf incident, Adam keenly noticed some discrepancies and showed a curious smile.
"I know about the Boring Surf situation!" Adam began talking to Benjamin again. "I bet Hilda is very arrogant right now, isn't she?"
Benjamin smiled wryly and said, "Hilda is extremely arrogant right now! Adam, what should we do?"
Adam said, "Stall for time, do you understand?"
Benjamin was surprised and asked, "Adam, what do you mean?"
"I just have a feeling that this Boring Surf isn't that simple. This whole thing is very strange," Adam smiled slightly. "So I just want to see what this is all about."
