Finding Out The Billionaire

Chapter 19

Chapter 19 I Will Call The Security

The board meeting focused on gaining market share went smoothly.

At that moment, Alex had planned to invest ten billion to sway the loyalty of the customers from their three other competitors.

Among the shareholders, five of the smaller ones could not fork out such a large sum, so they sold their shares to Alex, amounting to ten percent in total.

Consequently, Alex held sixty-one percent of the shares and invested six billion and one hundred million. The next largest shareholder, Jack, contributed two billion, while the other shareholders pooled together one billion and nine hundred thousand.

Of course, not all of the ten billion would be used to gain market share.

Alex understood the situation and suggested buying a large-scale online novel platform to compensate for the company’s weakness of not having enough local works. This would allow the Four Seas Corporation to expand into the pan entertainment industry.

It would be called Four Seas Entertainment for short.

Alex’s aim was clear – if he wanted to do something, he would do his best.

After the meeting ended, Alex called Jack into his office.

There, they discussed the plans for Four Seas Entertainment’s future.

Jack nodded through most of it. The idea of pan entertainment had already been mentioned by two major firms a year back.

However, one of them gave up after half a year, whereas the other one did not manage to achieve much.

He had also explored the idea of pan entertainment but eventually gave up on it.

Now that Alex had brought this up again, he had mentioned a lot of details and crucial points that Jack had not considered previously. It was as though he was listening to a revelation.

Just then, someone knocked on the door to the office. Alex allowed them to enter, only to see a thirty- year-old beautiful lady enter with a file in her hands.

She was the overall manager of this project, Melanie Lewis.

She greeted them, “Mr. Jefferson, President Sawyer.”

She then proceeded to her agenda, “Audi’s regional manager has asked us when we are going to sign the contract for them to be the sponsors for Flair of the City. That way, they can start working on their advertisement.”

Flair of the City was a movie adaptation of a web-novel. It would be aired under Volcano Videos, a streaming site under Four Seas Entertainment, two months later. Many companies had fought to be its sponsor, but because Jack was on good terms with Audi’s CEO, he sold the best advertising slot to Audi for one billion.

However, both sides had yet to sign the contract.

“Tell them that I’ll meet them at two in the afternoon to discuss the details of the contract. I’ll be buying a car in the afternoon anyway,” Alex instructed.

“Alright, here’s the contract,” Melanie replied as she placed the file on Alex’s desk and left.

Alex did not look at the contract. Instead, he lit a cigarette and continued discussing pan entertainment with Jack.

In the midst of their discussion, Jack even poured two cups of tea for Alex.

The two of them continued chatting until noon and had come up with the framework for the proposal.

“Mr. Jefferson, let’s have lunch together,” Jack invited Alex excitedly.

After chatting with Alex for a few hours, he realized that Alex’s mind for business was one of the best he had seen.

Alex’s forecast of the market and his plans for the future were something he would never be able to achieve even if he worked for his entire life.

Initially, when he heard that Alex had intended to invest ten billion into pan entertainment, he was worried that his two billion would go down the drain.

Three of the shareholders had pulled out because they did not trust Alex.

After all, the two firms that tried pan entertainment previously had both ended in failure.

After chatting with Alex, he was filled with hope.

Alex nodded and joined him for lunch.

After having lunch with Jack at a five-star hotel, Alex returned to his office.

He then stood by the window and looked down upon the busy streets and bustling cities, lost in thought.

It’s about time they arrived.

He knew that from the moment he activated his bank card, the Jefferson family would start to investigate what he was doing.

With the power and influence of the Jefferson family, they would be able to locate him within five to ten days.

The influence of the Jeffersons was beyond what many had imagined, but he had not regretted his choice.

He had had enough of living in fear and hiding. It was time he got up on his feet.

“Bring it on. Show me how much you’ve improved these six years!”

A glint flashed across Alex’s eyes as he reclined against the back of his seat. He then closed his eyes to rest.

At half past one, Alex took the contract and left.

He rode on his electric scooter as usual. However, after Madison rammed against it earlier in the morning, the back tire had become slightly deformed. If he were not an experienced rider, he would not be able to control the vehicle at all.

Twenty minutes later, he finally arrived at Audi’s main branch in Nebula City.

When the dealers saw that Alex was dressed plainly and arrived in an electric scooter that was nearly breaking apart, none of them approached him.

Anyone who could afford a car here would be able to drive here or at least call a cab.

No one had come in an electric scooter before, much less a broken one.

“Hold it! Where do you think you’re going?” a beautiful car dealer stopped Alex.

That woman was beautiful and a hundred and sixty-five centimeters in height. She had fair skin, and even though she was wearing a blazer, one could tell that she was well-endowed.

“I’m buying a car,” Alex replied. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Scram! I know exactly what you’re here for!” the lady snapped.

“What else can I do here other than buying a car?” Alex asked in confusion.

“Tch, who do you think you are? A street rat like you will never be able to afford a car here!” the lady scoffed. “The cheapest car here will cost you three hundred grand! Even if you opt for installments, the down payment will be over a hundred thousand. Can you afford it? I’ve seen many people like you before. You come in pretending to buy a car so that you can take a selfie to show off on your social media!”

Alex burst into laughter. Isn’t that being a bit too judgmental?

“What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?” the lady scrutinized Alex and sneered. “Someone like you won’t even be able to afford a tire here!”

A few other dealers sniggered and glanced at Alex in contempt.

“Is Audi really that great? I didn’t know that clients aren’t even allowed to smile here,” Alex spat in rage. This dealer must be mad!

“I don’t care if you’re laughing or not, but you have no right to set foot in this building. So if you don’t leave now, I’ll be calling security on you,” the lady threatened.

Mr. Stanton had instructed them time and again that the new chairman of the Four Seas Corporation would be arriving soon to discuss a contract with them. Hence, they had been stationed here to welcome him later on.

If we let this street rat put off the chairman of Four Seas Corporation, we’ll be fired the next day!

Just as Alex was about to burst out in anger, Heather walked over with a man dressed in a suit.

When Alex saw the two of them chuckling happily, his blood started boiling.
