The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 575 The Legendary Killing Technique
The unusual competition, featuring two tech entrepreneurs and a famously argumentative internet celebrity engaging in a unique exchange of attacks, silenced the tens of thousands of spectators present.
Inside the box, Brian looked at Musk and Zuckerberg, who were lying flat on the platform receiving a doctor's examination, and asked Hawke, "Is the game being broadcast live worldwide?"
“Yes, it was live on Twitter worldwide.” Hawke could feel the pain even from that distance.
Any normal man would feel a chill down there right now.
He shook his head: "Those two bastards have no sense of martial ethics!"
Brian agreed: "Go straight for the vitals..."
Edward, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject, "This is the legendary killing technique!"
Hawk and Brian both laughed. Attacking the eyes, throat, and groin is pretty much the same in all kinds of fighting around the world.
After a brief moment of calm in the stands, a storm was brewing.
Supporters on both sides launched a furious exchange of insults, accusing the other of being immoral, shameless, and without any moral compass.
The two sides, separated by riot police, kept throwing cups and posters at each other.
Musk's fervent supporters even shouted that they wanted to snatch a few Sugar Babies.
But as Musk and Zuckerberg stood up, clutching their crotches, the tense atmosphere vanished.
I don't know who started laughing first, but the entire venue was soon filled with laughter.
Everybody was laughing.
There's no way around it; in this match, these two people attacking each other in this way is just too much to bear.
The only ones in the entire venue who could maintain a serious demeanor were the referees.
The referee stopped the match and, after a brief discussion with the referee team below, decided to end the match thereafter.
He put on the microphone and announced the result of the match on the spot: "Given that both Musk and Zuckerberg used offensive methods that violated the rules of the game and were unsportsmanlike, on behalf of the referee team, I hereby announce that both players are disqualified from the match!"
An uproar erupted in the stadium; no one had expected the match to end in this way.
Everyone considered that the two sides might end in a draw.
Even professional bookmakers in Las Vegas have offered odds for a draw.
But no one expected that Musk and Zuckerberg would both be disqualified from the competition.
The competition began as a farce and ended as an even bigger farce.
Musk, who had recovered slightly, stared at Zuckerberg, both regretting not having used more force to crush their opponent's egg.
The competition had no winner or loser, but it was an unusual format.
Musk is a master of self-promotion, and he quickly turned his attention away from Zuckerberg, thinking about how to use this special competition to continue to promote himself and Tesla.
Denigrating competitors to promote oneself and one's brand.
Musk isn't the only one thinking this way; Zuckerberg on the other side shares the same idea.
The game on the field has ended, but the game off the field continues.
As Musk and Zuckerberg left the stage surrounded by their respective supporters, the audience gradually dispersed and departed.
Hawke and Brian went to the two players' lounges and visited Musk and Zuckerberg one after the other.
The two returned to the lounge and, on the doctor's advice, immediately applied ice packs to their respective genital areas.
"I'm going to cut off that pimp's brother!" Musk was furious, feeling that his brother wouldn't be able to fight for the next week. He complained to Hawke, "I'm going to send him to Sugar's transvestite section!"
Hawke closed the door and reminded him, "You can't say things like that outside."
Musk, aware of the social movement, covered his crotch with an ice pack and said with a mournful face, "I'm going to post on the internet and call on the world to condemn pimps."
As a key figure in facilitating this competition, Hawke cut to the heart of the matter: "This competition is sure to be a global sensation."
When it came to publicity and hype, Musk automatically ignored the pain in his crotch and said, "I've already notified the PR team. I'll hold a meeting with them on the way to the hospital."
Hawke gave him a thumbs up: "This is the Elon I know."
On the other hand, Zuckerberg was not to be outdone; he had already called and communicated with the marketing team while Hawke and Brian were there.
In the era of internet social media, information changes at an astonishing speed.
Less than two hours after the match ended, news of the Maza battle had already topped the trending news lists on websites such as Twitter, Google, and Yahoo.
On Twitter, videos of Musk and Zuckerberg attacking and blaming each other are pinned to the top.
Supporters of the two men engaged in a heated exchange on Twitter.
"Zuckerberg is despicable and shameless; when he can't win a fight, he attacks the person's most vulnerable spot!"
"Tell me, has Musk done the same thing?"
"Musk even brought a wrench to the stage, saying he was a researcher. Does he know anything about car manufacturing and rocket development? If he wants to cheat, he should just say so!"
"Indeed, Musk brought a wrench, but it's still better than Zuckerberg having a bull-shaped cup in his ass!"
"I suggest Elon quickly register a patent for the pimp's special bull cup, and apply for a brand name, preferably Mark!"
"The person upstairs is trying to kill him out of his spirit; they want to nail Zuckerberg to the pillar of shame for the rest of his life!"
Compared to Musk's massive number of die-hard fans on the internet, Zuckerberg inevitably lost out in this war of words.
However, the number of registered users on the Sugarbaby website quadrupled, and the number of Sugarbaby users willing to pay money increased by nearly two times.
This battle made more people aware of the Tangbao website.
Many young women in Europe and Latin America, in particular, have fully understood what "sugar baby" is through the "Maza Battle," learned how to quickly monetize their youth and beauty, and mastered a business path for personal entrepreneurship without losses.
Suddenly, the number of sugar babies surged, especially in Eastern Europe and Latin America, where the economic environment was relatively poor, but there were many young and beautiful girls.
In the past, they had to go west or north, enduring layers of exploitation by gangs and violent institutions in various countries in order to earn the income they dreamed of. The risks involved were enormous, and countless people went missing.
None of these compare to registering as a Sugar Treasure.
Zuckerberg spent a few days in the hospital before arriving at the Coast Building with Neville and Butt. He met with Hawke and said, "We have reached an agreement with Merrill Lynch to handle the entire process of Sugarball's IPO and financing. We expect it to be listed on NASDAQ in June 2010."
Neville added, "The relevant proposals have been submitted to the investment fund." Roger Keane of the West Coast Investment Fund has already sent them over, and Hawke has reviewed them carefully, saying, "Go ahead and do it according to the plan."
Compared to Sugarbao, Tesla's IPO process was slower, after all, the two companies are completely different in nature.
Bart then said, "A website called P has appeared on the market, and its business model is somewhat similar to Tangbao. We are looking for an opportunity to acquire this website."
This is standard practice for social media companies. After Sugarballs' huge success, many similar websites emerged in North America, with P being arguably the largest of them.
Many websites, once they reach a certain size, wait for their competitors to acquire them.
Hawke also approved the acquisition.
In addition, Sugar Baby is constantly poaching talent from Saint Valley to attract more artists to join.
The list Hawke saw included not only Kaden, but also Snow White, Tony Black, Beebe Jones, and someone whose makeup and styling were strikingly similar to Avril Lavigne.
These things reminded him of something.
Hawke asked, "Have you had any contact with Stormy Daniels?"
Zuckerberg chimed in, "She's over thirty, which doesn't fit our strategy of keeping Sugar Baby young."
Neville said, "I've been in contact with her. She's very popular. A few years ago, she even claimed she was going to run for senator in Louisiana for publicity."
Bart was very curious: "Is this person very interested in politics?"
“Like some people in Hollywood, politics can elevate one’s image and increase one’s fame.” Neville, who clearly knows Stormi well, said, “Stormy frequently uses politics as a backdrop for his publicity, just to attract customers.”
Zuckerberg understood: "She's cultivated a lot of sugar daddies in the political arena?"
Neville nodded: "The quantity is said to be quite large."
Hawke said, "You should continue to associate with her, and it would be best if you could become even closer."
Neville was particularly interested in women with large frames and immediately said, "Boss, you can rest assured, I have absolutely no problem with this."
Hawke vaguely remembered that there seemed to be some special relationship between President Dong and Stormi.
Now that Tom Emmer is firmly in power and the promised policies and subsidies are being implemented, this election is a thing of the past for Twitter and the West Coast faction led by Hawke.
The next step, naturally, is to settle scores with the enemies and prepare for the future.
The former mainly refers to Silla and the Laugh Tale couple, while the latter is naturally Brian's future rival.
The situation with the Donkey Party remains uncertain, but Dong Zong, a competitor within the Elephant Party, cannot be ignored.
The following day, Musk also visited the Coast Building.
But Musk didn't mention the Mazah battle again, after all, he has always held an absolute advantage in public opinion.
During this visit, Musk specifically mentioned one thing: "Tesla is conducting research on building a factory overseas. I plan to push it forward after the New Year. It may take four or five years before we can build the factory, but from research to site selection to securing funding, we need to start preparing in advance."
Hawke is well aware that building a physical industrial enterprise is far more complex than building an internet business. In addition to what Musk has mentioned, training skilled industrial workers also takes time.
He said, "Let's do this: Tesla should assemble a professional team as soon as possible, and I will have the West Coast branch assist them in taking the first step."
Investing in and building a factory is difficult at the beginning, and even more difficult later on. Musk did not dare to take it lightly and said, "In the beginning, we will still need your help in this regard."
Hawke picked up the phone and called Henderson on the West Coast. After hanging up, he said, "Go directly to the West Coast."
As Musk was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Recently, an Indian design team was recommended to Tesla by the North American India Business Alliance. India's population and market are enormous..."
Hawke interrupted him directly: "Elon, don't consider the Indian market. Ordinary people can't afford Teslas, and rich people only buy imported goods. Besides, Teslas are electric cars. You can have someone do a survey on India's power situation and how many people die from heatstroke every summer due to power outages."
Musk paused for a moment, then said, "You know more about overseas markets than I do. I'll have someone investigate the Indian market."
Besides the two of them, there was only Edward in the office. Hawke was very direct: "By the way, have someone investigate India's manufacturing industry, such as the most demanding military industry. You'll understand what I mean."
"For example, the Tejas fighter jet and the Arjun tank?" Musk had also heard of these two main combat aircraft that India was heavily promoting.
Hawke nodded slightly: "Go and find out."
Musk listened to Hawke's advice and said, "I will send people to India tomorrow to get a full understanding of the situation there."
Because this involves not only Tesla, but also SpaceX.
At Hawke's suggestion, neither company had any Indian employees.
However, in the current social trend in the United States, Indian-American tech talents are highly sought after by mainstream media.
"Behind India's rapid development lies a massive explosion of high-tech talent!"
"Indian employees who cannot be ignored—the backbone of Silicon Valley's rapid development!"
"The rapid development of the American semiconductor and electronics industry, as well as the internet and software industry, has been greatly contributed by people of Indian descent."
From The New York Times to The Washington Post, from NBC and CNN to Fox News, from Yahoo and Google to Twitter and LinkedIn, both new and old mainstream media are full of voices praising India.
In the era Hawke lived through, India was once regarded as a model of freedom, democracy, and civilization in Asia.
Even across the Pacific, a large number of Indian public intellectuals have emerged.
People can understand it if they praise Europe and America.
But praising India...
Ahead of the New Year, Boeing held a press conference to announce a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Indian authorities. Boeing will establish a factory in India, some parts will be supplied by the Indian factory, and the software for Boeing's commercial passenger aircraft will be fully outsourced to Indian companies.
Other companies like Microsoft, Oracle, and Nvidia all have Indians in senior management positions.
On Hawke's side, just before Christmas, the West Coast Investment Foundation signed an agreement with Indian tycoon Anil Ambani to finalize a cooperation plan involving 16 top international schools.
The land for the first Ganges International School in Los Angeles has already been approved. Located in the relatively prosperous West Los Angeles, it covers an area of nearly 50 acres and is expected to invest $22 billion to create a world-class integrated primary and secondary international school.
As agreed by both parties, Ganges International School is to reserve one-third of its places for Indian students.
The other six schools have also entered the preliminary preparation stage.
Therefore, Anil's funds need to be in place quickly.
As India's most famous and extravagant second-generation rich kid, Anil is no pushover. Apart from a small portion of bank loans, his funds mainly come from private financing in India.
While extracting wealth from America, Hawke also began to undermine India's wealth. (End of Chapter)
