Chapter 132 Willful Breakup
In short, earning the first fortune for these first-generation entrepreneurs was very difficult.
But for someone like Oliver, a second-generation rich man, it was much easier. To support Oliver's startup, Ken directly provided him with seventy million dollars as seed capital. Money wasn't the most important part; the most crucial aspect was that Ken shared all his information and connections with Oliver, starting a business under such circumstances!
Even Skyview didn't have such a good opportunity. Skyview had to work hard on a shared locker project to gain Erin's favor and borrowed seventy million dollars from Heavencrest Bank. The gap was indeed quite large compared to Oliver!
With this seventy million, Oliver started his business. Since he liked playing games and was deeply influenced by the internet, much like today's young people, he immediately set his sights on the live-streaming industry.
Ready to go, Oliver founded LiveWave. With his status and wealth, he easily recruited many top streamers. They joined LiveWave without much thought upon hearing Oliver's name, not realizing that the hardest money to earn in this world is from the rich.
LiveWave experienced frequent technical issues right from the start, and they couldn't even solve the technical problems!
It took LiveWave a month to resolve the technical issues and start operating. However, no matter how hard Oliver tried, LiveWave only managed to achieve a mid-level position in the live-streaming industry, with Shark Live being its biggest competitor.
The best LiveWave could achieve was becoming the second in the live-streaming industry, but it still couldn't surpass Shark Live. Now that the initial excitement of recruiting streamers had passed, LiveWave was even less competitive compared to Shark Live.
Overall, Oliver's startup didn't lose money. LiveWave's success could definitely increase his wealth. However, compared to Oliver's starting point, LiveWave's achievements were hardly praiseworthy.
On the other hand, the gaming teams Oliver invested in achieved good results, indicating that he had a better understanding of the gaming industry.
But Oliver wasn't worried or anxious. Ken was in excellent health and had no plans to retire. Cascade Group wouldn't urgently need him to take over for at least another ten years.
When Oliver was young and naive, he was once a passionate and innocent boy. Unfortunately, passionate and innocent boys often encounter bad women who teach them a lesson in life.
Thinking he had seen through women, Oliver became a playboy, and his taste was quite unique. All his girlfriends were internet celebrities, and the women he liked were actresses.
At this moment, another part of Oliver's relationships had ended.
"I'm no longer interested in you!" Oliver said coldly to the internet celebrity, "We can break up now!"
The internet celebrity, though not upset, was still a bit surprised, saying, "We've only been dating for three months!"
However, the internet celebrity was not sentimental but rather very practical; she was with Oliver for the money. So, after love was out of the picture, she talked about moneybecause she understood that she could never be accepted by the Parker family; Oliver would only marry a woman who matched his status, and the internet celebrity was far from qualified..
"Oliver, since you say time is money, I've been with you for three months. How much money do you plan to compensate me?" The internet celebrity started asking for a breakup fee. To put it nicely, it was a breakup fee; to put it bluntly, it was money for prostitution.
"One hundred thousand dollars!" Oliver said indifferently.
The internet celebrity replied, "Okay!"
The internet celebrity wasn't angry. She smiled, picked up the check from the floor, nodded to Oliver, and said, "Thank you!" With that, she swayed her hips seductively and left.
He let out a meaningful, cold laugh.
At that moment, Oliver's assistant, a beautiful woman in a business suit, approached him. This assistant was Odette Roberts. Odette graduated from a prestigious university and was hired by Ken to assist Oliver. Her price for hire was very expensive.
Because Odette not only had to help Oliver with some business matters but also had to maintain his reputation, so she had to use both her intelligence and herself as a resource. This was costly.
"Didn't I tell you not to come in unless necessary?" Oliver frowned at her. "I just broke up with my girlfriend, and I'm in a bad mood."
