104: Long-term special rewards
Jiang Yuan's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly.
This time, he was genuinely a bit surprised.
Paradise Extreme.
The world's largest extreme sports club and media giant.
It monopolized 80% of the broadcast rights for top-tier extreme sports events globally and had tens of thousands of daredevil top experts signed under its banner.
The market value of this company was at least 300 billion USD.
"I have watched your documentaries."
Jiang Yuan nodded, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.
"Did you found it?"
"Not exactly."
Alisa shrugged, enjoying the look of surprise on Jiang Yuan's face at that moment.
"It was created by my father, but he is old now, and I am currently the Chairwoman of the Board and CEO."
"How is it? Do you think I'm cool?"
She finally saw emotional fluctuations on the face of this man who had always been calm, and the desire to win in her heart was greatly satisfied.
"It is indeed cool."
Jiang Yuan rubbed his chin, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.
He had now unlocked the Third-Order Gene Lock, and both his physical fitness and reaction speed were at a superhuman level.
Such extreme sports were practically a playground tailor-made for him.
"Does your company... still need any investors who bring their own capital?"
He asked this out of the blue.
If he could buy a stake, it would be convenient for playing in the future.
"Buy a stake?"
Alisa giggled as if she had heard a joke, the scenery on her chest trembling.
"My dear Jiang, this company is wholly owned by me."
"The current valuation given by Wall Street is very high; even a 0.1% stake would cost several hundred million USD."
She extended her finger, drawing circles on Jiang Yuan's chest, her tone seductive:
"Although you are rich, this entry ticket is very expensive."
"However..."
"If you are willing to marry me, I don't mind giving you a few percentage points of shares as a dowry."
The true intention was revealed.
This woman's intention to covet his body was no longer concealed.
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly.
It wasn't because of her teasing.
But because he suddenly realized a problem.
0.1% would cost several hundred million USD.
Then 100% would be several hundred billion.
The one hundred billion USD in his hands sounded like a lot, enough to rival a nation.
But in front of this true commercial empire, he didn't even have the qualifications to make a takeover bid.
He couldn't even get the controlling interest.
This caused his recently inflated "Divine Magnate heart" to be suddenly doused with a bucket of cold water.
So that was it.
He was still far from the point where he could do whatever he wanted on this planet.
Seeing Jiang Yuan frowning and silent, Alisa thought he had been scared by that astronomical figure.
She didn't mean to mock him; instead, she felt this man was more real and cute.
After all, who could casually take out several hundred billion USD to buy a company?
"I'm just joking." Alisa laughed to smooth things over, picking up her wine glass.
"Although I can't sell shares, if you like extreme sports, I can give you a top-level black card membership."
"In the future, whatever you want to play, whether it's skydiving or racing, my team will be at your beck and call."
Jiang Yuan looked at the somewhat smug woman in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, a emotionless electronic voice suddenly exploded in his mind.
Seemingly sensing the Host's "financial embarrassment" from just a moment ago, the system was angry.
【Ding!】
【Detected that the Host has been looked down upon by capital.】
【Hint: In a world ruled by capital, a Divine Magnate is the truth. The dignity of a Divine Magnate cannot be desecrated by anyone!】
【Triggered special chain long-term mission: Conquer the Surface, Transcend the Limits.】
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
A series of light blue mission lists scrolled across his retina.
【Mission 1: No-Limit Freediving.】
Target: Surpass the current world record of 253 meters.
Reward: 300 billion USD.
【Mission 2: Stratospheric Skydiving.】
Target: Surpass the current world record of 39,045 meters.
Reward: 300 billion USD.
【Mission 3: Wingsuit Flying Through...】
Jiang Yuan looked at the long string of zeros behind that, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
This wasn't a mission list; it was clearly the system starting to print money.
Moreover, this was a long-term challenge without a mandatory time limit; it was essentially just giving him money to play with.
Before he could even finish reading, the system dealt another blow.
【Ding! Detected that the Host has previously completed the "Fastest Solo Oxygen-Free Summit of Mount Everest" achievement.】
【Distributing historical rewards...】
【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the "Mount Everest Conqueror" reward: 300 billion USD (already credited).】
Boom!
Adding the previous 100+ billion, Jiang Yuan's personal account balance instantly soared to over 400 billion USD.
And it was in cash.
What kind of concept was this?
If converted into the smallest denomination banknotes, it could bury this Central Park building.
Jiang Yuan, who had just been frowning about "not having enough money to buy shares," now had a relaxed brow, and a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
That annoyance caused by poverty instantly vanished into thin air.
Confidence, wasn't this it?
He raised his head and looked at Alisa, who was still waiting for his response, and his eyes changed.
It was no longer the tentative look of someone wanting to buy a stake, but the composure of someone looking at prey.
"Alisa."
Jiang Yuan interrupted her.
"260 billion."
He stated a number, his tone calm.
"I want 67% of Paradise Extreme's shares, which means absolute controlling interest."
"How about it?"
The air suddenly went quiet.
The smile on Alisa's face froze.
She put down her wine glass, and the admiration in her eyes instantly turned into confusion, even carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Jiang, this joke is not funny at all."
She frowned slightly, leaned back, and increased the distance between them.
"Do you know what the concept of 260 billion USD is?"
"Even for Apple or Microsoft, wanting to mobilize so much cash in a short time would lead to a broken capital chain."
"Although my company has a market value of 300 billion, that is market value, not numbers in a bank card."
"You open your mouth and say 260 billion? No one in this world can take that out in a week."
Although she liked Handsome Guys, she was more of a rational businesswoman.
In her view, Jiang Yuan was just stimulated by what she said earlier and was bragging for the sake of face.
This behavior of puffing up one's face to look fat was very low-class to her.
"Whether it's a joke."
Jiang Yuan didn't explain; he simply took out his phone from his pocket and casually opened that black Swiss Bank Supreme Edition app.
Fingerprint unlock.
Then he turned the screen around and gently pushed it in front of Alisa.
"Count the zeros, and you'll know."
Alisa looked at the phone pushed in front of her and originally wanted to refuse.
But out of curiosity, she lowered her head and glanced at it.
With this one glance, her gaze could no longer move away.
Her pupils contracted violently, as if she had seen God.
That long string of numbers. Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... hundred millions... ten billions... hundred billions. 435,000,000,000.00 USD.
