Chapter 124: celebrity effect

White shook his head when he heard the words: "What Buffett said is correct. The technology stock itself is a stock with uncertain future. You never know that a company with a market value of tens of millions of dollars yesterday has fallen to nowhere in Siberia today. I went. But I have such confidence. First of all, I can assure you that this will be a very popular industry in the future."
It was White who knew the application and importance of Internet technology in the future that he dared to say these words. However, at this time, Emery, who knew nothing about the future, saw these as White's ambitions. It's just high ambition.
But Emery is full of admiration for such a confident young man, which is why he promised Dad Philip to come here and have an interview with White.
At this time, the grand scene of champagne dancing was unfolding in the hall. The people who were originally talking here turned their heads to look at the scene. Champagne slowly rose in the pool and then flowed down again, like a fountain. Spectacular, when the golden champagne color and the transparent light of the glass are refracted together, it produces a brilliance similar to glare.
Melodious and soothing music flowed slowly in the background. When the music sounded, the people who had stopped turned their heads one after another, continuing the topic they were talking about.
In the hall, White and Emery are also two of this group of representative figures.
They leaned on the railing of the champagne pool and discussed with each other about LUMLBAR and its funding.
Emery came for this. He asked White to understand the current internal financial structure of Lumblar. These have been managed by White in request of Iverson. At this time Iverson came in handy. He knew everything about it. , And talked about Emery.
It is worth mentioning that after this night, Emery not only had a look at White, but when Iverson was talking about the funding system, Emery also had an eye on this young man who was almost the same age as White.
Emery asked with interest: "What's your name?"
"Iverson." Iverson replied.
Then there was someone passing by, maybe it was a reporter from a newspaper, and they seemed to have a good relationship. Emery and the bald reporter hugged each other, and both sides looked enthusiastic. After they exchanged a few words, Emery turned the topic to White and Iverson.
"Help the three of us take a picture together."
Emery put the wine glass aside, then patted the reporter and said something like this.
Although White and Iverson standing behind were unclear, they followed suit and put down their wine glasses together. Then they stood with Emery. The three of them stood upright and smiled, facing the camera.

After the camera's lights went dark, Iverson asked White, "Are we going to report the rhythm?"
White said, "No, you think too much."
But when White finished speaking, Emery, who was talking to Mr. reporter over there, heard it. Instead, they turned their heads unexpectedly: "No, I just want to leave a memorial."
They are not celebrities, what kind of memorial do they want to leave...
But from Emery's eyes, one can also see his recognition of the two young men, White and Iverson.
Emery has more than just this friendly side. In the subsequent negotiations, Emery fully demonstrated his side as a shrewd investor.
Emery did not discuss the market situation with Whitedo, but gave White a very straightforward condition: "First of all, you need to show me the potential of LUMBLAR, which is what I said before. Blog’s winning rate. During this time, I will invest one million dollars in Lumblar. If I can’t succeed, I’m sorry, and I will stop further investment.
One million dollars is more than enough for general procedures, but both White and Iverson know that a LB that has reached this level is far from enough with an investment of one million dollars, but with their deposits, they cannot achieve this. Numerical value, so currently only accept Emery’s conditions.
Because Emery later said: "White, and White’s companion, Iverson. You have to understand a truth, investors including me, we will not invest because of the innovative value of your product. We have to look at it. To your vitality and potential in the market, this is true for everyone."
Emery made it very clear that even if another investor comes to the door, the result will not be better. Every investor is the same. They only want to make money. This is the same as White’s goal. of.
Perhaps it was because I was afraid that the two college students of White and Iverson would be dissatisfied with such conditions. Emery later added an article unhurriedly: "One million dollars I can just use it as a test. It’s not a big deal, so just let me see your achievements."
Emery's words are very clear. He chose a one-time profit return, and White agreed happily. He knew what this opportunity was for him. After Emery left, Iverson secretly pulled White aside. Iverson warned him: "No one will invest in us for no reason, not to mention this is a shrewd venture capitalist. He must want to raise funds. To share the profit pie."
White said: "I considered this aspect, but LB has only experienced more than a month so far. I can't consider financing. This is a major thing, isn't it?"
Currently only accepting Emery’s one million US dollars investment, but this must be far from enough, not to mention that LB has not been running for a long time. White did not think too much about financing. He only needs to show investors Just reach the potential of LB.
The opponent is the blog. In addition to the attractiveness of its own novel and innovative content, White also thought of other measures. For example, star effect. If you can pull the stars registered on the blog, that would be the best thing. The reason is very simple, because the blog did not pay for the endorsement, just because it is the dominant one, so the celebrity has no way to attract fans to choose such a website.
If it's the other way around, it just happens to attract fans. After White thought of this approach, his first target was the X artist registered on the Blog of Brooklyn BSB.
