Hundred Times Income Multiplier System

Chapter 56 Is It That Cheap?

?Jack immediately made a call.

Not long after that, the call was received and an enquiring heavy male voice came through. "Hello, who's this?"

"Hello, I'm Jack. Mr Edwin, I was referred to you by Mr Haman." Jack replied.

"Oh, that guy?! Anyway, he told me about you. Are you sure that you're interested in my company?" Edwin asked.

Although Haman had already told him about Jack not long ago, he still had some doubts about it. After all, the owner of the voice that he was talking to was so young.

Although his company was only a middle sized one, that didn't imply that it was cheap. After all, one had to consider the fact that he was selling the company alongside the assets, the employees and the contracts that they had already signed.

In other words, as long as Jack took over the company, he would continue running it the way it was. He could decide to make changes on it but, that wouldn't affect the company that much as long as the changes weren't major.

"To be honest with you, it's not that I'm interested in your company. The truth is that I wanted to enter the security industry and was looking for a company that I could buy. In the end, yours was the one that was recommended to me by Mr Haman." Jack replied honestly.

….

Inside an office, Edwin's brows furrowed the moment that he heard Jack's words. Then, he thought to himself, 'If you're not interested, then why are you calling me? Aren't you interested in buying it? That's called interest alright!'

After calming himself down, he immediately replied, "It's good that you're sincere Mr Jack. So, are you sure that you want to buy it or is it that you're just asking?"

On the other side, Jack could hear that there was a hint of impatience in the other party's voice. He wondered to himself about what he'd said wrong to make the other party's impression of him to drop.

Leaving that aside, he replied, "I want to buy it. And, I mean buy it. So, I think that we can discuss the contract, right?" Jack asked.

Upon hearing Jack's words, Edwin's expression eased for a moment. But, the issue concerning a big company like his wasn't something that could be discussed on the phone. So, it would be good if they could meet face to face.

In this way, they could come to an agreement and sign the transfer contract at that exact moment. So, he asked, "Can we meet to discuss about this?"

"Where can we meet? You can decide on the location as well as time." Jack asked in reply.

After thinking for a moment, Edwin replied, "Can you come to Venture city?"

Jack thought for a moment and agreed to it. He had a eurocopter that was in parking. He could use it to get there. Although he could not fly it, he could still get someone that could do that.

After agreeing on the time of the meeting, Jack ended the call. He then sat there while thinking to himself, wondering what he was going to do next.

After a moment of thinking, he decided to check out the data concerning this security company. He had no laptop at all. The one that he had been having before broke down. Of course, there was no way that it would simply 'break down', right?

This was the handy work of his half-siblings. The good thing was that there was nothing important that was saved in the laptop. But even if there was, he would have a backup.

Since the laptop stopped working, he decided not to buy another one to save money. After all, at the end of the day, back then, there was no use of the laptop at all.

But now that he was going to have an enterprise, it would be important to have one. So, he entered an online shop and placed an order for the best laptop that he could find.

Of course, the 'best' that he knew was the most expensive one. That was his only method of finding the best product. After placing the order, he was informed that it would be delivered by evening.

After that, he entered the internet and began searching for information about Safety Enforcers. Although it was not a listed company, it was obvious that the information concerning it would be found in the internet considering the fact that it was a middle-sized security company.

After searching, there were several results that were revealed. There was the information about the date that it was started and so on. But Jack wasn't interested in that at all.

He looked at its net worth currently. This would make him know what amount of money he had to prepare when he went to meet with Edwin the following day.

While looking at the information that was given, Jack frowned for a moment. According to what he could see, this company was worth two billion dollars. If they discussed about the purchasing price and so on, he was sure that he would end up spending more than that.

But, he thought to himself, 'Are the companies this cheap nowadays?' Of course, that was simply due to the fact that he had money in his account. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to say that.

Furthermore, such a company that was started from scratch didn't start with it being worth billions. This company had began over a decade ago. It had been growing ever since for it to reach its current level.

After all, not everyone had a system with him. It was just that Jack had a system and that was the reason as to why he wasn't afraid of risks in business. Others would have to consider all the factors that could be considered before they could invest into something.

Just like Edwin, although he was changing from one industry to another, it wasn't that he was going to start from scratch. He had already joined the industry but it was just that he wasn't focusing on it. But now, he wanted money so that he could put all of his efforts there.

In other words, he had already tested the industry for a period of time before deciding to expand. But even so, he still maintained his cautiousness.

After checking the information about the security company, Jack was impressed by it. Although it wasn't that big, it still was good as even he had heard of it before today.

Now that he knew all the basic information that he needed to know, Jack decided to check if there was another company that could interest him. After looking through the security companies for a period of time, Jack lost his interest.

It wasn't that there were no companies that could be bought by him. It was just that these companies were either expensive for the current him, not for sell or maybe they were at a lower level as compared to Safety Enforcers.

He thought if there was anything that he needed to do at the moment. After thinking for a long moment, he felt that although he had many things to do, they all had a specific day that could be done.

Grace, the following day. Edwin, the following day. Ben, he wasn't sure about the specific date as Ben had said that it would be done in three days.

Oh, there was something that he had almost forgot about after surfing in the internet for a period of time. That was, finding a pilot that could fly the eurocopter.

Although the eurocopter that was given to him by the system was customized and differed from the others, with Eko, the eurocopter's Ai, he was sure that as long as one was a professional pilot, he would be able to fly it.

He immediately looked for a company from where he could hire a pilot. He found one that was called SkyFlight Charters. This organization was well known as it had a good reputation.

Of course, all of this was known to Jack through the internet. Otherwise, how was he supposed to interact with pilots before today?

After looking at the information, he found one pilot that was to his liking. It was a middle aged man with five years of experience. According to the information about him, it was said that he was good in flying helicopters the most, as most of the people that hired helicopters or pilots were mainly for helicopters.

If one had a private plane or jet, why would he hire a pilot for a short period of time? He would simply find one that would be permanent.

The reason for choosing this man was simple. Apart from his experience, he thought that the middle aged man wouldn't be too chatty, or so he hoped.

After confirming everything, Jack immediately made a call.

…..

In the Alfonso mansion, the atmosphere was quite lively. The reason behind this was due to the fact that there was a member of a big family that was visiting them on this day.

The other family was far bigger than Alfonso family and was situated in the capital. So, of course, the members of Alfonso family had to be meticulous in their preparations to receive them.

At this moment, not just the current CEO of Fonso group was standing at the entrance, even Jack's grandfather, Victor Alfonso was also present. They were not the only ones there as there were several others that were present here as well.

In other words, all the members of Alfonso family, as long as they were nearby, they had been called back, with the exception of Jack, to welcome the special guests.

"Dad, do you know why they are talking about engagement all of a sudden?" Jack's father, Dalton, asked Victor.

"What's there to be worried about? This is a good thing for our family. Maybe, we may rise and be able to compete with some families in the capital." Victor replied with a smile plastered on his face.
