A check of 15 million US dollars, and the recipient was Peter Parker. To be honest, Little Spider had never seen so much money in his life. He never thought that he would have such a large amount of wealth.
He researched Parker Particles at the Horizon Foundation, and each experiment cost tens of millions of US dollars. That could easily burn through tens of millions of Tony's funds in a month.
But that kind of expenditure wasn't something that could be experienced personally. Most of the time, Peter would write a list of the materials he needed, and Pei Bo would arrange for someone to buy them.
Peter knew that some things were expensive, but he didn't take the money out of his own pocket. He didn't have a personal experience.
But when he received the 15 million US dollar check, his hands couldn't help but tremble. Because what Li Jie just said was very obvious.
This wasn't an experiment fund or a public fund. It was for Peter Parker's personal use, and Peter could use it freely.
What could he do with 15 million US dollars? He could buy all the games on Steam (without discounts). Then he could buy all the game consoles from Sony and Microsoft, including the motion sensor suits and games.
Then he could buy a large apartment and renovate a dedicated game room. Then he could put all the consoles and games in it. Then he could buy a large refrigerator filled with cola, potato chips, chocolate, pizza, hamburgers, fries, and other semi-finished food.
Also, he could buy a long cat pillow and a couch. That way, he could happily stay at home for as long as he wanted!
If he got tired of games, he could buy all kinds of Lego and assemble it. For example, the Spider-man hero suit series.
For a moment, Peter Parker seemed to be able to transform into a dried up Chaps.
While Peter was thinking, Gwen repeatedly checked the authenticity of the check and asked Li Jie, "So the question is, who gave Peter such a large amount of money? Where did he get it from? "
This had to be asked. Although Li Jie and Peter had always been good friends. Gwen also believed that Li Jie wouldn't harm Peter, but it was fifteen million dollars! Also, Li Jie said that there might be a huge income of more than 100 million USD in the future.
How did Peter Parker get so much money? Even if he sold the lifetime copyright of Spider-man, he wouldn't be able to earn that much! Look at Hawkeye. He only got one million USD after selling all the copyrights for ten years.
Spider-man gets 300 million a year for his copyright? That was the same amount of money that a Hawkeye could earn after working for three thousand years, or three hundred Hawkeye s working for ten years.
Captain Rogers was now the most valuable Hero spokesperson, while Iron Man was the king of making money. No matter what, the Spider-man would never have the chance to get so much money.
So it was normal for Gwen to have such doubts. Peter also recovered from his fantasies. He looked at Li Jie and said, "Don't tell me that you need me to help you rob a bank or something. I won't do that. "
Peter's tone was joking, but he was really a little afraid of where the money came from.
Facing the couple who didn't know what to do, Li Jie spread his hands and said, "Rob a bank? That's nothing. Whether it's drug trafficking, bank robbery, or selling arms, the profits of these businesses are nothing compared to what we're going to do in the future. "
Peter and Gwen, "Huh?"
Peter asked with a little worry, "You're not really going to ask me to do something criminal, are you? I won't do that! "
Li Jie pointed to the header on the check and said, "Open your dog eyes and see who the invoice person is."
It was then that Peter and Gwen suddenly remembered that the cheque was made payable to the person who made the invoice. This check was issued by Shuguang Technology Ltd.
"Shuguang Technology? Is it the company under Tony that specializes in cosmetics? "Gwen asked curiously.
"Yes, that's the company. It specializes in producing hair tonic and skin toner. Now it's also extending its tentacles to whitening products and orthodontics. " Li Jie nodded and said, "Shuguang Technology Ltd is now Tony's most profitable business."
"In terms of the company's social influence and importance to the world, Shuguang Technology is far inferior to Stark Corporation. But in terms of the speed of making money and the explosive profit margin, Shuguang Technology is already making money that no one dares to underestimate. "
Li Jie pointed to Peter. "Do you know what's the most uneconomical but necessary investment in the world?"
Peter thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"It's arms." Li Jie gave the answer. "All countries are making all kinds of advanced weapons, but no sane person wants these advanced weapons to be used one day. The meaning of their existence is more of a deterrent. Because the cost of using them is too high. "
Li Jie pointed to Gwen again and patted Lan's hand. "What do you think is the most beneficial investment for an individual?"
Lan answered without hesitation, "Knowledge."
Gwen wanted to say this, but Lan beat her to it. She could only say, "And appearance. Well, that makes me sound like a very shallow woman."
Li Jie replied with a smile, "We probably can't give others knowledge, but things like appearance can. That's why there are so many plastic surgery hospitals and all kinds of cosmetics in the world. That's what Shuguang Technology does. "
"Tony bluntly said that the company's profits are higher than drug trafficking, and it's completely legal without any burden. I think Gwen is also using Shuguang Technology's products, right? Skin toner and so on. "Li Jie was right. In fact, Gwen and Lan were both users of Shuguang Technology's products.
And they gave Shuguang Technology's products 32 likes. They were much better than the various cosmetics produced by other companies. They were not on the same level at all.
At this time, Peter interrupted, "But what does this have to do with me? I don't study cosmetics. Why should Tony give me so much money? "
"In fact, he really didn't intend to give you so much money." Li Jie shrugged and said, "Because he is planning and designing a new project, and this project is related to mutants. His research will use the Parker particle that you are working on. "
"He really didn't intend to pay at first, because you don't know anyway." Because you don't know anyway. "Li Jie's words made Gwen curse in a low voice, but Li Jie didn't hear what she was cursing.
"But I have a good relationship with mutants, so I know some things." That's why I know some things. "Li Jie pointed outside the door. The female mutant president, Katie, had just left.
"When I found out about this, I went to talk to Tony. In the end, I helped you get a more appropriate patent fee. And this is part of the patent fee. The rest will be given to you after the product is launched on a large scale. "Li Jie couldn't help but laugh when he said this.
"But I think you already know how to use the money, don't you? Do you need me to help you find a suitable fund manager to operate this public welfare fund? "
Peter opened his mouth. He really wanted to say, "Can the amount be a little less?" But how could he take back what he just said? Especially when Gwen looked at him with admiration.
Li Jie finally explained the origin of the money. Peter and Gwen finally understood the whole story.
Only Gwen asked curiously, "Does this mean that Shuguang Technology is going to release a new product?"
Li Jie touched his chin and said, "It may not necessarily be released by Shuguang Technology, but it does have something to do with Shuguang. This matter is currently top-secret, so you'd better not say anything about it. This is a trade secret. "
Gwen nodded and then asked in a gossipy manner, "So can you tell me what the new product is?"
