Chapter 205 Not Much
"Over 10 billion dollars?"
"That’s not much?"
Everyone present froze, inhaling sharply in disbelief. Having over 10 billion dollars was not much? What was a lot, then?
He had over 10 billion dollars!
An ordinary person would never be able to earn that much money in a hundred lifetimes, a thousand, or ten thousand lifetimes!
But Noah said that over 10 billion dollars was not much!
It was better to never compare yourself to the rich!
At this moment, Noah gazed at the financial director.
"If I invested 6 billion dollars, would that be enough to recruit the ten top American live streamers? Including some marketing costs."
6 billion dollars was twice the amount of 3 billion, and Noah believed it would be enough.
The entire audience was in a stupor.
Noah had just spent 100 million dollars acquiring Facebook Live, and now he wanted to spend 6 billion dollars?
He really was that rich!
"If it's not enough, then I'll invest the entire 10 billion dollars." When Noah saw that no one was responding, he thought that the money wasn't enough.
"If 10 billion dollars is still not enough, I'll ask my family for more, 20 billion, 30 billion, 50 billion... In any case, I want to turn Facebook Live into a publicly traded company within a year!"
"That's enough, that's enough! Noah, 6 billion dollars is enough!" the financial manager hurriedly said, his heart pounding. Noah was just too rich!
He was a tycoon!
He was as wealthy as a country!
"That'll do." Noah nodded. "Compile the information on the top American live streamers within a week and note down the approximate amount of money we need to recruit them. Show me the information, and after I've reviewed it, we can start investing in recruiting talents!"
"Great!"
Everyone immediately became excited.
If they could recruit several top American live streamers, Facebook Live would definitely become stronger!
It might not be impossible to be an IPO on NASDAQ! They might not be able to do it in one year, but they might do it in two years.
"Oh, one more thing," Noah spoke up, remembering something he had just thought of.
"All those recent college graduate streamers who were forced to sign those tyrannical contracts with the company, make their contracts invalid. If they want to stay, they can stay. If they don't want to stay, they can leave."
Grace had signed a tyrannical contract with Facebook Live and had to pay off her debt before she could leave Facebook Live.
"Great! I'll take care of it right away Noah!" the head of the human resources department said immediately.
After discussing future development for a while, Noah left the company.
...
Two days later.
During these two days, Noah received news that a heart specialist from the province had successfully performed a bypass surgery on Daniel.
The surgery went smoothly and Daniel regained consciousness.
However, he was still weak and needed to stay in the hospital for observation for a period of time.
Noah's relatives went to visit Daniel, but Noah, as the son-in-law, seemed completely unaware of the situation. He slept until he woke up naturally every day, and didn't go to the hospital to visit.
Noah's reputation among his relatives grew worse because of this.
He was originally considered a worthless loser who simply mooched off others, but he was now being labeled as an unfilial son-in-law.
But Noah didn't care about that gossip from his relatives at all.
One evening, he was on the rooftop of his villa, enjoying the evening breeze and watching the sunset when suddenly, his phone rang. It was Xavier.
"Hello, Xavier."
"Noah."
Xavier's said, "The Desert Continent mining accident has been resolved. Someone was behind it, trying to deceive us for compensation. The culprit was the Aurionian tribe chief.
"Thanks you, Noah, for providing the information in a timely manner. We recovered the compensation, and all the mining sites have been awarded to the Lin Family by the court, earning us several billions of dollars. As for the chief, he's already in jail."
Xavier was very happy.
"But Noah, I'm curious, how did you know that someone was behind the mining accident and trying to deceive us for compensation?"
"It was just something I overheard by chance," Noah replied indifferently.
"I see." Xavier didn't ask any further questions and continued, "Noah, you did a great job. The family head is very pleased and said you truly deserve to be his son."
"Pleased? Why didn't he call me himself? He had to ask you to pass on the message." Noah rolled his eyes.
"Cough, the family head is busy dealing with business every day, and he simply doesn't have time to make phone calls. So, he had to ask me to pass on the message." Xavier laughed.
"But after praising you, the family head has assigned you two more tasks."
"What are they?" Noah asked.
"Firstly, you need to establish two listed companies in Oceanbridge City within a year, whether they are listed domestically or on NASDAQ or NYSE. The Lin family will only provide financial support, and other relationships, such as Starlight City and Noah Capital, will not be accessible to you.
"Secondly, the family head has recently been expanding into global e-commerce logistics, including air and sea freight. And you happen to be in Oceanbridge City, where the Wang family is a leader in e-commerce logistics. Your second task is to establish a logistics partnership with the Wang family."
"The Wang family?" Noah's gaze flickered, involuntarily thinking of Gideon, with whom he had dined at The Majestic Suite. Gideon's family had made their fortune in e-commerce, and most likely, the Wang family Xavier had mentioned was probably his family.
"What benefits will I gain from completing these two tasks?" Noah calmly asked, without directly accepting. "If there are no benefits, I will refuse these tasks."
Xavier was taken aback, took a deep breath, and said, "Noah, this is a great opportunity to gain entrepreneurial experience. You’ll have massive financial support from your family, so even if you fail, it won't matter. That is the biggest benefit, isn't it?"
