Chapter 261: Tycoon Group Chat
"What?"
Danielle was shocked: "The Anthony Family is a sponsor of 'I Am a Tycoon'?"
It was well known that investing in 'I Am a Tycoon' was a sure win, with a return rate of at least three times.
Many families, companies, and consortia in Oceanbridge City competed fiercely to invest in this show, but the Edward Family didn't secure a spot.
To become a sponsor of 'I Am a Tycoon', one needed more than just money; connections were also essential.
It was rumored that the chief sponsor of 'I Am a Tycoon' was Shark Live.
This company was extremely mysterious, especially its boss, who was said to be a tycoon.
In less than a month, they had poached top streamers from other major platforms, demonstrating financial power that Danielle believed the Edward Family lacked.
Thus, not only in the live streaming industry but in other sectors as well, any savvy businessman was secretly paying attention to Shark Live's boss, curious about him.
And as the chief sponsor of 'I Am a Tycoon', Shark Live had significant influence over the investment decisions.
"Indeed."
Zack said proudly: "The Anthony Family invested fifty million in 'I Am a Tycoon'! This share was secured because my second uncle knows a high-ranking person in Shark Live."
"Congratulations!" Danielle said enviously.
Investing fifty million would yield at least a hundred million in returns once the show aired.
"But what I want to say is, Noah is one of the ordinary people selected by 'I Am a Tycoon' and given ten million!"
Zack pointed at Noah and said loudly.
"What?"
Anna and the others were stunned.
"His Sprinter was bought with the ten million given by 'I Am a Tycoon'. The Armani he wore yesterday at Royal Gardens was also bought with that ten million!" Zack continued:
"Not only that, the first thing he did after getting the ten million was to give a female streamer gifts worth six hundred thousand!"
Zack's voice grew louder:
"Noah is essentially a poor man, an ordinary person at the bottom of society! He just leveraged 'I Am a Tycoon' to get ten million!"
"Ten million may seem like a lot, but to our four great families, it's nothing!"
The room fell silent as everyone listened to Zack.
Danielle and the others were shocked.
"But Noah pretended to be rich, boasting and deceiving Aunt Riley by claiming to be from Riverton! Noah, look at yourself. Do you deserve to be from the capital?" Zack continued:
"Noah, you're a complete liar! You deceived Anna by claiming not to be a delivery boy. How ridiculous! Gideon saw you delivering food to his hotel, and you still deny it!"
"Evidence! Zack, you need evidence for such claims!" Anna interrupted Zack.
"Evidence? Fine, I'll show you evidence! I'll prove to everyone that Noah is indeed a liar, a poor delivery boy!"
Zack took out his phone and opened Facebook, showing a group chat named "I Am a Tycoon Sponsors" with over forty members.
"This group consists of sponsors of 'I Am a Tycoon' and journalists responsible for selecting and filming the ordinary participants." Zack explained:
"These journalists upload daily summaries of their subjects' activities and information for the sponsors to see."
Zack opened the group details, showing a list of avatars, the first being a shark swimming in the waves.
"The group owner is a high-ranking person in Shark Live, the chief sponsor."
Zack pointed to the shark avatar and introduced it.
Danielle was envious; the Anthony Family was indeed powerful to be in such a group.
Noah glanced at the avatar, recognizing it as the finance director of Shark Live.
He smiled knowingly, not surprised, as the program's main person in charge was indeed the finance director.
Zack then opened the group files, showing many files with similar naming formats.
"Noah—Thomas."
...
"Noah!"
Danielle and the others focused on the file named Noah!
"It must be a coincidence. Noah can't be a liar!" Anna was nervous, unwilling to believe Noah was a liar.
"Noah, I'll give you one last chance. Answer me, was the money for the Sprinter and the Armani your own?" Zack asked.
"The car and clothes were bought with my own money." Noah replied calmly, telling the truth.
"Hahaha! The evidence is right here, and you still deny it!"
Zack laughed: "Fine, I'll expose your last disguise!"
He opened the file.
Danielle and the others crowded around to see.
The file contained photos of Noah, such as him bravely retrieving the bag from the thief and entering Royal Gardens in an Armani suit.
These photos were taken by Thomas.
There were also paragraphs of text.
"Ordinary person Noah, after receiving the money, first gave sixty thousand as gifts to his favorite female streamer..."
"Noah tries to enter high society. After many difficulties, he finally gets an invitation to a high-society event..."
"He also bought an Armani suit, estimated at around two hundred thousand..."
"Noah received ten million... secretly bought a car without informing the program team, likely treating the ten million as his own..."
...
Reading these texts, Anna was dumbfounded.
"Noah, I have a few questions for you." Zack looked at Noah:
"First, did you participate in 'I Am a Tycoon'?"
"I did." Noah replied calmly.
"Second, is Thomas the journalist filming you?" Zack asked.
"Yes."
"Good, my questions are over." Zack said seriously:
"Uncle, Aunt, the evidence is clear. Do you still think Noah is not a liar? Do you still think he bought the Sprinter with his own money?"
