Many evaluation agencies had already raised the valuation of Titanium Phone Company to more than 100 billion yuan.
It was also one of the fastest companies to reach a valuation of 100 billion yuan by relying on its own development.
At the same time, F2F and QQ Software, the two separately operated Internet companies, had the same controller as Titanium Phone Company – President Jenny Gwenis.
On the other hand, the market valuation of the two internet companies had already exceeded ten billion yuan and was still rising rapidly.
They were likely to become the second and third companies under Jenny's control that were valued at more than a hundred billion.
As a result, Jenny's influence in America grew day by day.
There were more and more people plotting against her, and the number of commercial spies and scouts sent to several companies increased day by day.
But some of these spies had been discovered by Luke's regular investigations, and the rest had been investigated by Bobby Max, the original owner of Mental Communication. They had almost no chance to play any tricks.
But money was tempting, and in the end, even Jenny's bodyguards were taken care of by Luke.
These security guards had passed Luke's test in the beginning, but they couldn't withstand the various methods later on, and eventually chose to betray Jenny.
Jenny didn't hold back either. She would sue them as soon as she got the evidence, and the law would decide whatever price they had to pay.
The salary she offered was the price of a top-notch security guard, so naturally, the penalty for breach of contract was also top-notch.
After more than ten times, the security team finally stabilized.
It wasn't that these security guards no longer had any weaknesses, but that the forces that used to threaten them with their families had disappeared.
After a few times, there were rumors in the top circle that Jenny Gwenis wasn't easy to deal with.
While there weren't many good people in the top circle, Jenny was still an ordinary young lady a year ago. Some people thought that she was a nouveau riche who didn't have the time to turn her money into strength.
Mercenaries and assassins were only temporary workers. They could never be relied on and could not be used for important personal matters.
Moreover, the dark side forces that targeted her disappeared overnight, which made people understand that this young lady also had her own trump card.
As the news spread, those who wanted to play dirty immediately gave up on the idea.
As long as Jenny had a trump card, she couldn't be dealt with quickly.
Given enough time to use her official connections, she could crush most of the forces in the Darkside World.
Jenny, who had a hundred billion yuan in assets, really had the ability to do that.
Naturally, it was Luke who dealt with those dark forces.
Money was indeed not very important to him, but not having money was extremely important.
He didn't care about normal business methods. Jenny could handle herself.
But if anyone wanted to play black to touch his money bag, he didn't mind playing a darker game.
Of course, it was because Jenny's company was too profitable that many people had ulterior motives.
Mobile phone companies are completely cash cows, while F2F and QQ are emerging online media giants.
For Jenny, a smartphone, internet, and software was obviously more interesting than a simple phone manufacturer, and there were more ways to play.
The CEO, who was busy with his new business, wasn't as idle as Luke. Otherwise, Luke would've been in trouble a long time ago if he showed up every ten to fifteen days.
The war in New York was a huge disaster for the citizens, but it was a huge opportunity for the three companies controlled by Jenny.
As other big players entered the market and used low and mid-end mobile phone companies to rake in money, smartphones quickly became popular.
Industries related to smartphones formed interest groups to further promote the construction of mobile networks.
In major cities in the United States, the restrictions on cell phone networks were getting smaller and smaller.
In New York, you could connect to public wifi almost anywhere, or use the mobile network.
When the war began, people hiding everywhere would rely on the mobile network to contact each other, spread the news, and post pictures.
They could hide in hiding, but they could know what was going on outside at any time. There were also all kinds of emergency alerts to check, and they could learn and use them now to increase their chances of safety.
This further demonstrated the value of F2F and QQ.
In terms of the timeliness and convenience of information dissemination, they were far superior to ordinary media.
When the war began, it was certainly safer to hide and watch the news on your phone than to find a TV.
Besides, they could only see fixed programs on TV, and all kinds of content on the Internet could be searched for, which allowed them to learn the information they needed faster.
After the war in New York, Jenny had tried her best, but she could only drag it out until now.
Many big shots had already seen the huge value of F2F and QQ — which was far greater than it had been a few months ago.
They weren't the first software to do this kind of network service, but they were the first to form an absolute scale in the industry.
Just the fact that Titanium could directly receive a common F2F and QQ account was countless times higher than the starting point of other software.
Jenny's problem now was that she needed to choose business allies who shared the same interests, and then spend the large sum of money that was coming.
Ever since the phone sales started, the three companies hadn't been short of money. Jenny had been working hard to spend money.
She couldn't waste money at will; she had to choose the most beneficial aspect for the company's development.
Jenny had originally thought of buying a building in New York for the company as an office, but Luke had firmly rejected it.
Thinking about it now, she felt a chill run down her spine.
That was because the building she had her eyes on wasn't too far from Stark Building. It had been hit by a big bug warship during the war, and was now in danger.
Although the building was insured, it wasn't certain when the insurance company would have the money to pay for it.
The company was already burning with money, but they still had to face the big shots who were waving money and shares to get a stake in the company.
Jenny had to seek the opinion of Luke, a major shareholder, to decide the company's future path.
Luke thought for a moment. "Then let's do charity. We'll set up a foundation and donate to the New York authorities, NYPD, the municipal emergency department, the fire department, and other related organizations. Hm, we can also buy some auction items from Batman's foundation. We can buy them at a premium. "
Jenny was stunned. "You … are a fan of Batman?"
Luke shook his head with a serious expression. "No. But he saved my life in the Wall Street subway explosion. "
Jenny's mouth moved, but she didn't say anything else.
The lives of tycoons were both valuable and worthless.
For example, if someone accidentally saved Jenny's life, she would help them solve a lot of problems, and even make sure that they didn't have to worry about living for the rest of their lives, but she would never directly give them tens of millions of dollars.
There were many reasons for this. Simply put, it wasn't necessary.
Too much money wouldn't make people feel grateful. Instead, it would only breed insatiable greed.
Giving too much money to someone who had saved them wasn't worth it.
Besides, capitalists had to work hard to earn their money. Few people were willing to do something so stupid.
Looking at her expression, Luke had a rough idea what she was thinking. He said with a smile, "It's all good deeds. The money isn't directly going to Batman. Everyone knows that it's the company's goodwill, and it can help Batman maintain his good reputation. Why wouldn't I do it? "
