Building a Business Empire with my Technological System

Chapter 232: The New Enterprise of the Two Giants

September 30th, 2027.

"Hahahahahaha…." Viktor laughed out loud after hearing the story between Elena and Reyes.

"You seem to be enjoying yourself," Elena said, her eyes twitching in annoyance.

"That is because it was funny," Viktor said, still couldn't control his laughter. "Like, he already knew that you were screwing him over and he used that opportunity to demand one percent of your company as hush money. Brilliant move, really."

Elena's jaw tightened. "Yes, it was a brilliant move from them. I didn't expect they'd be that smart."

"Of course, they'd be that smart, they have invented a plethora of revolutionary technologies after all," Viktor stated. "Anyways, speaking of their inventions, I have been thinking, how can a single person come up with all of that revolutionary technology? Like isn't it suspicious?

I mean most of the technology he introduced is perfect, like it has never been tested on a large scale before, yet it works flawlessly. It's almost as if he has access to something we don't."

Elena nodded, her frustration giving way to contemplation. "I've thought about that too. Michael Reyes is either a genius beyond measure or he has some sort of advantage we're not aware of."

"It's like he knew the future," Viktor continued, leaning forward with a serious expression.

Elena looked at him thoughtfully. "What are you suggesting? That he has some kind of secret technology or insider information that gives him this edge?"

"Okay, let's not even consider that he is some sort from the future," Viktor chuckled.

"What are you going to do, Mr. Gravsen? As far as I am concerned your enterprise is in clash with Mr. Reyes's solar panels."

"The hype surrounding his high-efficiency solar panels is starting to dwindle down, and the stocks of my company are slowly recovering. I'm not threatened by his solar panels anymore."

"You are quite confident," Elena observed.

"I am. But I didn't come here to talk about Mr. Reyes, Mrs. Skies, I came here because I want you to get on with me on this company that has been working for over 7 years to revolutionize the gaming industry."

"Gaming industry? How come a person like you who owns the largest oil company in the world be interested in venturing into the gaming industry?" Elena asked, genuinely curious.

Viktor leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips. "Diversification, Elena. The world is changing, and I see an opportunity in the gaming industry. It's not just about games; it's about virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive experiences. This is the future."

Elena raised an eyebrow. "And you think I can help you with this?"

"Yes, it requires massive funding. I believe in their potential, but I need a partner with the technological expertise and vision to bring it to life," Viktor explained.

Elena considered his words. "Viktor, I don't think Aegis Pharmaceutical would complement that company you are talking about."

"It doesn't have to complement it directly," Viktor said, leaning forward. "Your company's expertise in cutting-edge technology and innovation is exactly what we need. Think about it—healthcare and gaming might seem worlds apart, but they both rely on advanced technology and user experience. There's a huge potential for crossover, especially with virtual and augmented reality."

Elena frowned, still skeptical. "I need to see the specifics. What exactly are you proposing?"

"I'll have my team send over a detailed plan," Viktor replied smoothly. "We're looking at creating immersive experiences that can revolutionize both industries. Imagine VR therapy sessions for patients or interactive educational games that make learning about health engaging and fun. The possibilities are endless."

Elena nodded slowly. "Alright, I'll take a look at your proposal. But I'm not making any promises until I see the numbers and the potential ROI."

"Fair enough," Viktor agreed.

"What is the name of the company?" Elena asked.

Viktor smiled. "The company is called VirtuReal Innovations. They've been quietly developing some of the most advanced VR and AR technologies on the market. They just need the right push to become a major player."

Elena made a note of the name. "VirtuReal Innovations. Who are the founders?"

"VirtuReal Innovations. Who are the founders?" Elena asked, pen poised over her notepad.

Viktor leaned back, a hint of pride in his eyes. "The company was founded by three brilliant minds. Let me introduce you to them."

"First, there's Dr. Emily Harper. She's an MIT graduate with a Ph.D. in Computer Science. She specialized in artificial intelligence and machine learning. She's been at the forefront of VR technology development for years."

Elena jotted down the name and background. "Impressive. Who else?"

"Next, we have Dr. Rajesh Patel. He's an expert in biomedical engineering with a doctorate from Stanford University. His work on integrating biological systems with advanced technology is groundbreaking. He's the one driving the healthcare applications of our VR technology."

"Dr. Patel sounds like a valuable asset," Elena commented, writing his name down.

"And finally, there's Sarah Johnson. She's the creative genius behind our immersive experiences. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a focus on interactive media and game design. She's been leading projects that blend art and technology in ways that captivate users."

Elena finished her notes. "You've assembled quite the team. Their backgrounds are impressive, and I can see how they complement each other's skills."

"Exactly," Viktor said. "Together, they've created a synergy that's pushing the boundaries of what's possible in VR and AR. With your help, we can take VirtuReal Innovations to the next level."

Elena leaned back, considering the information. "Alright, Viktor. I'll review the proposal when it arrives. If it's as promising as you say, we might have a deal."

Viktor extended his hand. "I look forward to our collaboration, Elena."

Elena shook his hand, sealing the preliminary agreement. "So do I, Viktor. Let's see what VirtuReal Innovations can achieve."

Two weeks later, at Elena's office, Viktor arrived carrying a stack of full documentation. He was greeted by Elena's assistant and led to her office.

"Good to see you again, Viktor," Elena said, standing to shake his hand.

"Likewise, Elena. I've brought all the details we discussed. The proposal, financial projections, and technical specifications," Viktor said, placing the documents on her desk.

Elena sat back down and started flipping through the documents. "I must say, your team has done an impressive job with this proposal. The financial projections look solid, and the technical specifications are quite advanced."

"Thank you, Elena. They have worked tirelessly to ensure every detail is covered," Viktor replied.

Elena nodded, continuing to read. "I see the potential for this to revolutionize not just gaming, but also healthcare, education, and various other sectors."

"That's exactly what we aim to achieve," Viktor said and added. "Of course, money also."

"Alright, I'm in."
