"Didn't you say you enjoyed chatting with him?"
"I don't know, I used to be so kind, how could I have become like this?"
John stroked his chin, thoughtfully glancing around the bedroom. Zatana realized...
Maybe.
"Very likely"
John muttered to himself, "Such a strange creature shouldn't have been born."
Bang
Zatana pushed him away: "Of course he's not yours, it's none of your business. Talented children need more careful guidance. If they're taught well, they can become superheroes, understand?"
"What if you can't teach it well?"
Zatanna: ""
Yesterday's incident did not cause much of a stir. Wu Yue personally intervened and used some less-than-honorable methods to "appease" the families of the doctors and nurses, and announced the mission of the Special Service to the public.
As for her children, this power-hungry First Lady actually gave up her high position and chose to settle in a sparsely populated town so that her children could grow up healthily.
I don't know what they were thinking, but the combination of this child's innate ability to control the dead and the frequent supernatural activities in the city is just too awesome.
On the third day after the child's birth, the twelve apostles brought gifts, and the seventh, ninth, and eleventh apostles visited him, their words filled with joy as if they were seeing their own child.
Xu Fu didn't know what they were thinking. After all, there was no blood on them, so why were they so worried?
After it ended, life returned to normal.
Xu Fu shed his "mysterious man" image, went to work on time every day, and worked hard to develop his two companies.
Entering the new century, with the popularization of laptops, ShowMe has developed faster and faster, occupying 70% of the domestic market and having more than 8 million overseas users. If China is included, the total number of users can reach 12 billion.
For social media platforms, users equal market value, which differs from Tesla's less-than-successful development.
Thanks to Lex Luthor's brilliant management, power armor has become a hot topic in society: the upper-middle class and above are very interested in it, while the lower class despises it, and news of citizen demonstrations can be heard from time to time.
In this context, developing powered armor is clearly inappropriate.
Xu Fu had no choice but to reluctantly downsize the power armor division and focus all his efforts on developing new energy businesses.
In July 2007, a bombshell was suddenly dropped on the otherwise calm financial world.
ShowMe is a four-year-old tech startup specializing in social media, preparing for an IPO.
The news caused a huge sensation and sparked heated discussions online, with many bullish and bearish opinions. Unlike traditional companies, ShowMe is a completely new business model. It has no products, only resources. As a large company with over a billion users, its users are the capital it relies on for survival.
This model is unknown; no one knows how far it can go, and the risks are too high, leading many financial institutions to be pessimistic about it.
Ignoring the advice of his "in-circle" friends and financial "experts," Xu Fu prepared a near-perfect financial report and rang the world-shaking bell at the ShowMe headquarters in the Metropolis.
For the company's elders, going public is like leaping over the carp gate and emerging into the world, from which they can roam freely and unrestrained. If they can't get over it, they can only keep struggling in shallow puddles.
Charlie Werner, Sachsberger, Robert Downs, Philip Arthur, Cindy, and other executives with large stock holdings all stared intently at the screen, watching the stock market's movements.
Xu Fu, however, appeared very calm. He poured a glass of thirty-year-old vintage wine into his glass and savored it slowly.
ShowMe's stock was priced at $47 and issued 33 billion shares. It has since surged to $572, raising $330 billion and giving the company a total market capitalization of approximately $1900 billion.
The shouts and screams erupting from the headquarters building nearly caused the roof to collapse.
This figure shocked the world: a company founded four years ago immediately had a market value of nearly $2000 billion after going public, something that had never happened before.
The stock price movements have proven many experts wrong and left many financial institutions dumbfounded.
Overnight, the world has changed beyond recognition: yet another giant tech company and yet another super-young world's richest person.
A 21-year-old with a fortune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
His birth turned the world upside down. Media outlets, radio stations, and magazines around the world went crazy over the news, eagerly turning on their radios and bombarding the world with news 24 hours a day.
The internet was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked to discover that four years ago, Xu Fu was still an unknown "little guy," and Young Master Xiao's name was only known on the west coast of the United States. Who in the big cities knew him! However, in just four years, he accomplished what others could not do in ten lifetimes.
From 17 to 21, from 0 to 1000 billion!
Xu Fu realized his dream; no, he transcended the dream itself and reached a higher realm.
After the news spread, Xiao Manor and the entire Chinatown were overjoyed. Relatives and friends sent congratulatory telegrams immediately, and the Young Master Gang even paraded around with gongs and drums.
Major media outlets and radio stations have extended interview invitations with a global focus.
Xu Fu naturally disagreed: he doesn't need the power of traditional media now, and even if he gives an interview, it should be published on the ShowMe official website.
In the evening, a grand festival party was held at the headquarters building. The officers sang and danced, expressing their feelings to the fullest amidst music and fine wine. The banquet lasted until 1 a.m.
As night deepened, Xu Fu did not go home, but instead took the opportunity to cross the Pacific Ocean and arrive at a remote forest area in Longguo Lake Province.
The Aisha Village of my memory is gone, replaced by a grassy slope.
A dream from a thousand years ago, everything is different now.
Xu Fu opened a bottle of 50-year-old vintage wine and slowly poured it onto the floor.
"In your past life, you said you would become famous and known to countless people," but then you fell ill.
"You are resentful and deeply hate the injustice of fate, but fortunately, Heaven is merciful and has given you a second chance."
"Now I've done it for you."
"The richest person in the world, nothing more."
Chapter 1513 The Power of the Richest Man!
Overnight, Xu Fu seemed to have become a different person. Before, he was at most a talented young man and a prominent figure, but now it was different. Becoming the richest man brought not only a change in status, but also influence.
The world system is driven by money, and those who possess the most wealth naturally become the object of people's pursuit and aspiration, which is why the world is so prosperous.
Now, every word Xu Fu says becomes a golden quote, and his occasional comments can change stock price dynamics and even influence an entire industry.
This is the power of the richest person!
Dragon Kingdom, a magical city.
Qin Ya sat in front of the computer, carefully looking at the news on ShowMe. He would take a screenshot of every article related to Xu Fu and copy it into a folder.
Seeing her worried expression, Chu Yi couldn't help but shake his head.
"Right now you just look like a brainwashed fan."
"Did you know this is Xu Fuxiao? ~ The world's richest man at 21 years old!"
"What does the world's richest man have to do with you?" Chu Yi took out a notebook and threw it on the table: "Do the questions in this book and try to improve your math score to 130 in the college entrance exam."
Qin Ya clenched his fists in despair, then, as if remembering something, suddenly asked nervously.
"Hey, I heard there's a girl at your school who's Xu Fu-Xiao's secret girlfriend, is that true?"
Of course not.
"That's a lie. There are photos of them together online. I've seen them. That girl is really pretty."
"Don't believe what's written online; it's all fake."
Qin Ya snorted: "You talk like you know it all too well."
“I know some inside information,” Chu Yi said casually. “The girl you mentioned is called Qiu Yuran. She and Xiao Zhiguo aren’t even ordinary friends, let alone lovers.”
"how do you know?"
"Because she's my girlfriend."
Qin Ya:
Chu Yi packed his things, stood up and walked out. As soon as he stepped out of the residential area, he saw a white figure flash by. The girl in the sunlight was as ethereal as ever, but the scar on her left cheek had become an indelible shadow.
Every time Chu Yi saw this scar, he felt a deep sense of guilt: the scar appeared because of his mistakes, because of his obsession and desires.
On July 16, ShowMe headquarters hosted a world-renowned interviewer.
World-renowned presenter Anders Tester was invited by George Shaw, the world's new richest man, to conduct this interview.
Unlike humorous talk show hosts who entertain audiences while offering warm greetings, Anderst maintains a low-key yet sharp style, always subtly raising thought-provoking questions.
This is why Xu Fu sought him out: everyone has their own image, and the richest man is no exception. He wanted the outside world to see Xu Fu-Xiao as an innovator with amazing talent and a unique style, and to use that talent for change, rather than as a playboy and gangster boss spreading information on the internet.
Young Master Xiao became a burden and could no longer be remembered.
Once everything was ready, Xu Fu, dressed in a suit, strode onto the podium. With his strong physique, handsome appearance, and the unforgettable light reflected in his green eyes, the boy seemed like a prince who had stepped out of a fairy tale.
Andersen sighed.
"If I hadn't seen the photo beforehand, I would have thought it was some Hollywood actor standing up."
"Hello, Mr. Richie Richie"
Anders stood up and extended his right hand, while Xu Fu smiled and shook his head.
"Just call me Xu Fu. Richie-Rich is such an awful name."
"You don't like it"
“It’s like being wrapped in cake at your first birthday party,” Xu Fu shrugged. “It feels weird.”
"I think the audience wants to experience this process."
