Chapter 156 First Step Towards Being A Monopoly
His father them told him that he would need at least four days to get the money. Having gotten the confirmation, Arthur looked at the young man and said, "I'm going to take the building in four days."
"Oh, okay sir." The young man nodded. Since the building could be sold, he would definitely be promoted. Not only that, the commission that he would receive would be in millions. He would make it in a single step.
He was just about to lead the way back to the real estate office when Jack spoke. "You want to acquire a building and you have yet to prepare the money?" As he spoke, Jack shook his head before gazing at the young man.
"I'm taking the building today. I want all the necessary procedures to be carried out today." Jack stated.
The young man was completely stunned. He had thought that Jack couldn't afford the building. But, he was now saying that he was actually going to take it? He couldn't believe it.
"Hehe, who are you trying to joke with? You can't afford that amount of money. I have the help of my father, he can give me the money. But even he himself will need four days before he can collect that huge amount of money." Arthur sneered as he looked at Jack with contempt clear in his eyes.
Jack didn't say any other word and directly took out a card. It was the platinum card that only those with their accounts having a deposit of $10B could have.
The moment that the two saw it, they were surprised. This was one of the rare cards from Flyers bank. And, the young man had only heard of it.
On the other hand, Arthur had seen one like this. That was the one that his grandfather had. Even his father didn't have one because most of the money and assets under him belonged to the family and were not counted as his.
"Impossible. How can you have that card? Even my father doesn't have one. There's only one explanation, it must be a fake one." Arthur accused Jack.
Jack looked at him and said, "If your father is poor, don't go around thinking that everyone is just as poor." Then, he looked at the young man who was now doubtful as well. "Let's go back. You can try out the authenticity of the card once we are there."
The young man agreed. Then, the group left the building. Arthur of course followed them as he wanted to make sure that the card that Jack had was a fake one. There was no way that he could agree that Jack could actually have one.
It was true that Johnathan didn't have such a card. But, who said that Jack was Johnathan? Jack was richer than Arthur's father. After all, while Arthur and his father managed the Jesda family business, Jack was independent. Everything that he owned belonged to him.
When they got back, the young man hurried to confirm if the card was real. Once he confirmed that it was true, he gazed at Jack with great respect. This time, he completely ignored Arthur.
He had just noticed that although the two of them were cousins, they were not on the same side. Since that was the case, he too would only care about Jack. Jack was going to buy the building immediately while Arthur could only buy it after four days.
Seeing that Jack was really buying the building, Arthur felt humiliated. He had just boasted in front of Jack that he could buy the building only to have Jack buying it instead.
Although he would really have liked to buy it, there was no way that he could get all the $2.3B in just a few minutes. What's more, why would Jack give him the time to collect the money?
Seeing that there was nothing that he could do about the situation, he decided to leave. He would have to find a way to pay him back later.
Jack didn't care whether he left or not as that didn't affect him the least. He just continued waiting for the young man to contact the developer and inform him that there was a person that was willing to buy the building.
About twenty minutes later, a middle aged man came in. He was the developer of the building. When he saw that Jack was actually the one that was going to buy the building, he was surprised that he was this young. Although he was doubtful, once he saw the platinum card, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Mr Johnathan, the contract has been prepared. But I still need your ID as well as a few of your details." The young man came to Jack and asked.
Jack looked at him and said seriously, "I'm Jack, not Johnathan. Haven't you read the name on the card?"
"Oh, that was your card?" The young man was surprised. He had thought that Jack had simply gotten someone else's card and came to buy the building. So, although the contract was ready, it was still a soft copy and still required the details of the buyer.
Jack didn't say much. He took out his ID and gave it to the young man. When he saw the name added together with the image on it, he had no choice but to believe what Jack was saying.
And at this point, he respected Jack even further. He then thought of something and asked, "About that guy…"
He didn't need to finish his statement as Jack cut in. "That guy is an idiot. Just forget about him and get the things done as soon as possible."
"Got it sir." The young man agreed and hurriedly left to complete the procedures.
In just thirty minutes, Jack finally signed the transfer contract. With the building bought, Jack left. He wanted to leave things to Denali. Once he completed the requirements for the system upgrade, he would have to register the enterprise.
Driving the Lamborghini Urus on the road, Jack was in a good mood. He wanted to go around the city and look around just like he had planned before he came to the real estate agency.
He went around for several hours before he went back to the hotel. This then became his daily routine, wanting to make sure that he knew things in the city.
The second batch of pills were produced two days after Jack left Brightway Medical Research Centre.
It turned out that they had only taken so long to produce the pills in the first batch because they were trying to get familiar with the procedure. Now that they had already gotten familiar with it, they could easily complete the production.
Since Denali had yet to come back, Jack only asked them to produce the third batch. But all the same, he told them that he had yet to find the solution. He was working 'hard' to get the solution.
…
A week had already gone by since Jack came to Kartu city. The twenty had already began their training. Denali had completed all the purchases that she could, of the Alfonso family property.
She had already come to Kartu city and this was the day that they were going to look at the guy that was from the army.
When they arrived at the headquarters, they headed straight for the training grounds. The headquarters of Good Vision Security Limited was located near the outskirts of the city so that they could get enough space for the training.
When they got there, Jack found that there were a lot of guards who were currently training. This was by far different since the last time that he had been here. This was definitely due to the changes that had taken place as Jack had asked them to spend the money.
The high salary had definitely attracted a lot of people and had made Good Vision Security Limited poach many from other security companies. This led to them being marked as an enemy by several security companies that had come together to resist them.
All the same, Jack thought that there was nothing that they could do. After all, in terms of money, Jack was ready to spend. So, the issue like salaries, that was something that he was the least worried about.
Additionally, the company itself was going to use all the revenue that had been earned to improve the conditions of the company. They had bought a lot of equipment and had given a lot of benefits.
And this was the way that Tracy and Ayush had been working recently. They had attracted several trainers that were now training the guards. This was one of the requirements that Jack had made. These guys were going to undergo two months of training before they could be given an opportunity to go and work.
But although they were training, they would still receive allowance during the two months. It was just that the amount would be lower as compared to those that were already working.
With the training program added, the guards from Good Vision Security Limited became more and more professional. This in turn attracted a lot of clients who were willing to pay a good sum of money to have a contract with the company.
Although Jack knew that the competitors wouldn't stay idle and might actually resort to using underhanded tricks, Jack was ready to play with them as long as they dared to do that.
He himself had asked Ayush and Tracy to clean any kind of dirt in the company. If there was a person that was using the company for personal gain, that person would not only be dismissed, but the company would sue them.
The reason as to why Jack did this was because he didn't want others to find dirt that would then be used to pull down the company's reputation. He wanted everything to be clean, leaving no loopholes that the competitors could exploit.
The merging had now been completed and the two small Safety Enforcers and Amber Securities had already been made into branches of the Good Vision Security Limited.
They were expanded further as the capital was injected. The merging of the two companies into Good Vision Security Limited had boosted Jack's goal of making him the monopoly in the security sector in the country. Those two had already spread their influence to several cities in the western province.
So, Jack could already use their influence there to expand a branch there.
