Chapter 131 Oliver
For Oliver, life had been very smooth.
In this world where money could buy anything, Oliver's life had been very comfortable since childhood, with everything he could ever want in terms of material possessions.
However, Oliver studied abroad from a young age. Although his classmates and friends were not as wealthy as he was, they all came from upper-class families. As a result, young Oliver naively believed that everyone in the world lived in big mansions and could buy whatever they wanted without considering financial issues.
It wasn't until many years later that Oliver realized his family was extremely wealthy, not just ordinarily rich. He then confronted his father, Ken. Ken said to him, "So you figured it out," essentially admitting their affluent background.
Oliver had been studying abroad for many years. After returning to the country, he leveraged his identity as Ken's son but chose a unique path by becoming an internet celebrity, making bold statements online.
However, he was very measured and never dared to provoke truly powerful figures; he only criticized celebrities, most of whom didn't dare to respond. After all, Oliver's family controlled the largest cinema chain in Golden Valley, so which celebrity would dare to offend Oliver?
He wasn't afraid of any celebrity, he dared to criticize any of them.
In fact, Oliver was just like the celebrities, using his persona to attract attention!
His persona was that of a wealthy second-generation heir. When the audience discovered that their tastes, preferences, and lifestyle choices were similar to Oliver's, they felt honored and developed a liking for him.
This was actually because they were attracted to his persona.
Criticizing celebrities and playing video games were also parts of his persona.
Through this persona, Oliver attracted a large amount of attention, becoming the most well-known wealthy second-generation heir in the country, bar none.
Some might wonder, Oliver wasn't an entertainment star, so what good was all this attention?
In fact, attention was valuable not only to entertainment stars but also to business people.
Take Erin, for example. He was well-known worldwide. Wherever he went to do business, the moment people heard he was Erin, they immediately trusted in his abilities.
Adam, Ken, and Esme deliberately created their huge reputations for the same reason. Attention was money! For entertainment stars, attention was money, and for business people, attention was also money!
Oliver was a well-known, wealthy, second-generation heir, the son of Ken. With such a reputation, Oliver's actions became even smoother!
This was the invisible wealth that came with a good reputation.
Moreover, 90% of Oliver's persona was based on his true nature.
This was partly due to the power of money and the well-crafted persona.
The biggest taboo for public figures was a perfect persona; the best persona was one that was full of flaws.
And Oliver had a good persona.
Having a good reputation like Oliver actually posed significant challenges. His struggle was similar to Skyview's - how to prove he was qualified to carry on Ken's company and inherit the Cascade Group!
Cascade Group, with a market value of billions, could not be inherited without demonstrating sufficient capability! Because this wealth, amounting to billions or even trillions, involved the interests of countless people. If not managed well, it could all go up in smoke.
Ken himself admitted that while he wanted to pass the torch to his son if his son lacked the ability, he would have to hire a professional manager to run the company.
To prove his capability, Oliver started his own business.
It was well known that the most important thing in starting a business was the first successful earnings.
This process was extremely difficult.
