Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

ter what.
Fortunately, the highest word count requirement was only 500,000 words.
It would definitely be completed in at most three months without any delay.

As for Ma Yiqun, Zhu Xingan, and the other editors of Zhongdian Chinese Network, they followed Boss Pei’s instructions and let them do whatever they wanted.

Cui Geng did not care about that.
It did not matter to him whether the other authors wanted to go back to writing on a royalty contract or continue with the fixed-rate contract.

He wanted to write the story of ‘Successor’ in peace now.

It would still be a good experience for him even if no one liked it.

Cui Geng had already written the beginning of ‘Successor’ last weekend.

Cui Geng had almost completed the outline of ‘Successor’ within a week.
He had to perfect the details of every plot.

…

Playboy, rich second-generation heir Phil Simmons, who did not have any special talents, decided to become a superhero.
He also obtained a lot of support from his rich father and could use two billion US dollars to realize his dream of becoming a superhero.

Phil had also conducted a very detailed investigation and knew four steps for ordinary people to become superheroes in this era:

Find a way to become a superhero apprentice and debut successfully;

Be careful with his words and actions during observation period, and accumulate supporters;

Participate in the Superhero election and become the spokesperson of a certain group;

Become the top superhero, become the most powerful and influential person in Hope City and even the entire country.

Phil knew very well that it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to walk this path.

Tens of millions of people in the United States had dreams of becoming superheroes, but only a few hundred people could complete the first step; only a few dozen people could complete the second step; only a dozen or so people could complete the third step; and only three to five people could really stand at the top of the pyramid.

Moreover, Phil was not the first rich person who wanted to become a superhero by throwing money.

There were at least dozens of super-rich people who were richer than his father, Ryan Simmons in Hope City.
However, most of them had not become superheroes.

Most of them would choose another path: to indirectly exert influence by hosting a Superhero talent show, providing campaign funds for Superheroes, or investing before they debuted.

When a large financial group became the sugar daddy of many superheroes, these superheroes might not be his lackeys, but they would still give him enough face in most cases.

However, the problem was that such influence could not be achieved just by giving money.

Ryan Simmons was also considered a very famous tycoon in Hope City.
However, Phil had not reached the level where he could do whatever he wanted because he did not have much control over the superheroes.

The Simmons family could only control some weaker superheroes.

The citizens of the United States would not allow superheroes to become lackeys of the large financial group.
Thus, there were many restrictions in the system.

For example: The large financial group could provide campaign funds to superheroes, but it had to be voluntary and indirect.
It could exert influence but could not be completely controlled;

A powerful superhero definitely did not only have one huge financial group behind him.
Instead, it was a community of interests formed by many large financial groups.
These large financial groups would also form checks and balances.
What’s more, superheroes could reject the requests of a certain large financial group on the basis of the ‘wishes of the people’.

If something were to happen to a large financial group, the superhero would cut it off immediately.
He might even “place righteousness before family” and deal with the large financial group personally.

To summarize, the entire plutocrat class controlled the superheroes, but they could also be fish on the chopping board when tycoons were considered individually.

The superheroes at the top had huge combat power and huge influence.
They even had huge amounts of money in their hands.
They had become invisible tycoons and corporations.
They could already reverse their positions with the tycoons.

Rich people like the Simmons family were nothing in the eyes of the top superheroes.

The corporations would also fight openly and covertly for the superheroes, and the Simmons family obviously had no advantage in this aspect.

That was why Ryan Simmons was willing to bet half of his net worth on the future of the Simmons family and support Phil Simmons as a superhero.
