This time, it wasn't like Luke had come up with the name F2F.
A certain person who had been reborn smugly said FB before he was instantly killed.
The reason was that a certain university's alumni had registered the domain name FB a few months ago.
Not only was this alumni website developing rapidly, it had also expanded to many Ivy League schools, and was well received by college students.
What was even more painful was that the first university wasn't to be trifled with. There were a lot of political figures in the alumni list.
Jenny didn't want to get into trouble over a website name.
Luke could only secretly complain about the format of the name F2F. It seemed to be the same as a certain Big Boss Ma's.
Back to the X Hall incident. Apart from the pressure on the celebrities involved, the Titanium phones and F2F were completely unscathed, and even took the opportunity to promote them.
The celebrities didn't lose anything.
The worst news for celebrities was no news at all.
It wasn't easy to get a chance to show one's face in front of the entire country and boost one's reputation.
They apologized and donated. On the surface, they appeared to be in fear and trepidation, but it was hard to say whether they were happy or sad in private.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jenny increased the supply of Titanium phones, and unknowingly sold 50,000 more Titanium phones, which were in a state of hunger and thirst.
There were too many people who wanted to buy Titanium phones, and they were sold out in less than two days, which only made people even more eager to buy them.
Scalpers with a keen sense of smell also joined the rush, making the supply of Titanium phones even more difficult to meet the demand.
In Los Angeles, for example, the standard 1G RAM model, which had originally cost 299 dollars, was now being sold for 500 dollars.
The top-end 2G RAM model, which cost 499 dollars, was being sold for almost a thousand dollars.
There was no other reason.
The celebrities who participated in the benefit performances had been given the top-end Titanium phones.
Those who could afford the top-end version didn't care about spending another 500 dollars.
Jenny ran into a lot of problems with the hot sales of the phones and a lot of topics.
There were a lot of companies that wanted to buy shares or even buy them. Unfortunately, most of the people who made a move were just trying to take advantage of the situation.
There were also some people with dirty backgrounds who came to discuss with Jenny and directly threatened her with words, wanting Jenny to sell her shares.
Luke silently took out his little black notebook and wrote down the names of these people who dared to threaten Jenny.
With such dirty methods, he must have done a lot of bad things.
In the future, as long as he met them, he could do whatever he wanted.
Of course, Titanium Cell Phone Company was not afraid of these ordinary goods. Their partner, Weyland Corporation, was not simple either.
Even if Jenny wanted to sell her shares, her partner would have to give up the preemptive rights.
However, Titanium Phone Company's current valuation had increased significantly with the sales of its phones.
The valuation of a company that had entered the profit-producing period was not comparable to the previous shell company that only had ideas.
At first, Jenny had estimated the phone company to be worth two billion dollars on paper, but now, it was real money that could be turned into cash at any time.
And with the hot sales and popularity of the Titanium phone, this number was still growing wildly.
Once the 500,000 Titanium phones were sold this year, the valuation would at least triple.
Of course, that was Jenny's business. Luke didn't want to get involved in the company's management, which was too annoying.
However, he still called Old Man Weyland to test the old man's intentions.
But on the phone, the old man was very satisfied with his recommendation of Wade.
Luke didn't ask exactly what Wade had helped Weyland do in the Amazon jungle.
Since he hadn't accepted the mission, it would be best if he didn't care about the details.
Weyland, on the other hand, gave him another 500,000 dollars as thanks for recommending Wade.
Luke thought for a moment, then accepted the gift.
After hanging up, he murmured, "I'm afraid Weyland got a lot out of it this time."
Although it was Luke who had recommended Wade to Weyland, Luke wasn't a headhunter.
This additional thank-you fee could only mean that Weyland was very satisfied with the outcome of the mission.
Secondly, Weyland was also doing this to maintain their relationship.
After the exploration of the underground ruins in the South Pole, he had listed Luke as a special professional.
It was one thing that Luke was capable, but the fact that he had completed Weyland's mission by "randomly" recommending Wade meant that Luke had his own circle of people who were very capable.
With this "intermediary fee" of 500,000 dollars, Weyland could continue to ask Luke for suitable candidates for other professional missions in the future.
This time, he had paid and Luke had accepted the money, which meant that both parties had tacitly agreed to this "intermediary model."
Weyland was in a very good mood after encountering such a good thing.
When he saw that he had spent 100 million dollars in exchange for 12% of Titanium Phone Company's shares, which had doubled the company's valuation, the old man felt that the future was bright, not just bright.
With a wave of his hand, Weyland personally urged the company to speed up its cooperation with Titanium Phone Company, and to promote the renovation and construction of wireless networks in major cities across the country.
Weyland Corporation wasn't Weyland's alone. He was only a major shareholder with 23% of the shares, and had been the chairman for many years thanks to his outstanding ability and prestige.
If he wanted to use Weyland Corporation's funds, he had to explain it to the company's board of directors.
He, on the other hand, had a private stake in Titanium Phone Company.
Weyland now needed a lot of money to invest in a certain highly confidential private research project. This research project would bring him unparalleled benefits, and the old man didn't want to share it with anyone.
This was all the more reason why he couldn't let Weyland Corporation's funds enter the research project.
If he pushed Titanium Phone Company up, whether he sold the shares or used them for loans, it would all be his personal gain.
He wouldn't have to explain this project to anyone at all.
In the process of promoting the Titanium cell phone, Weyland would also reap great benefits. Just entering the market first and harvesting a batch of regular customers would generate a huge profit.
As one of the largest multinational telecommunications companies and one of the largest network operators in America, Weyland Corporation's efforts caused the sales of the Titanium phones to explode even more.
At the end of August, Jenny had no choice but to call Luke and ask, "Can we adjust our hunger marketing plan?"
Luke didn't think too much of it. "Can't you just adjust it?"
Jenny said, "According to our research, there's currently a demand for at least half a million phones on the market, which is equivalent to our total sales this year. Our sales plan for September is only a hundred thousand phones."
Luke thought for a moment. "You want to increase the number of phones?"
Jenny said, "That's right. Your hunger marketing idea has indeed been very successful, but if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it'll have even more negative effects. Some of our peers are already saying that we're selling phones at a high price. "
