Chapter 46 Laurence Finn And Morgan Stan

?

"This is your car?" Lydio asked his son in surprise. Anaflor also stared at the Subaru Forester with her eyes open wide. 

Arlan sweated when he saw the inquisitive look of his parents. "Ah... this car was given by the hotel as part of my compensation package. My position in the hotel is quite special so they said that it is only right for me to have one." He said while forcing out a smile.

"Really? That's too generous of them!" Anaflor muttered while looking at her son suspiciously. 

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Just as Arlan was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang. "You guys get inside first. I have to take this call." He quickly told his parents. The call came at the right time for him.

"Hello! This is Arlan Dominic Roa speaking." He was in a good mood since he managed to evade his parents' inquiry. 

"Good afternoon, Mr. Roa! This is Laurence Finn of Blackrock Incorporated. Morgan Stan of Morgan Stanley Investment Management is also here with me. We'd like to know if your schedule is free for tonight." The person over the phone spoke in English. His voice was calm and Arlan could feel the dignity in his tone. 

'Laurence Finn and Morgan Stan? Who are these two?' Arlan thought to himself with furrowed eyebrows. He didn't know who these people are. 

"Good afternoon, Mr. Finn. Please convey my greetings to Mr. Stan as well. Before I answer your inquiry, is this about the transfer of Starbucks shares?" Arlan asked hesitantly. He recalled that he claimed 7% shares of Starbucks from one of the red packets. 

"Yes, Mr. Roa. We are about to board a private jet. We should be in Ninoy Aquino International Airport before 9 in the evening." Laurence replied while looking at the time on his watch. He was walking side by side with an old man with graying hair. 

"Oh! I wish you two a pleasant journey! I will be waiting for you here in Maharlika! I will make sure to pick you two up with a grand convoy befitting your status!" Arlan's reply made Laurence smile. He then gave a thumbs up to the old man walking beside him. 

"Hahaha! Great! See you soon, Mr. Roa!" Laurence disconnected the call with a hearty laugh.

Recently, a big change happened in Starbucks. Blackrock Incorporated and Morgan Stanley Investment Management sold a huge portion of their shares to an unknown individual. This event caused a major stir among the shareholders. After all, both Blackrock Incorporated and Morgan Stanley were among the largest shareholders of Starbucks. According to their statement, the mysterious individual purchased a total of 7% shares worth $8.4 billion from the both of them, making him the new second-largest shareholder of Starbucks! 

"What did he say?" The old man in a business suit, Morgan Stan, asked. 

Laurence smiled and replied. "A grand convoy is waiting for us in Maharlika." He grabbed the old man's shoulder and laughed heartily. The two of them were paid a huge amount of money to transfer their shares to Arlan. As the CEO of Blackrock Incorporated, Laurence sold 5.5% of their Starbucks shares to Arlan. While Morgan Stan sold 1.5% of their shares. I think you should take a look at

Upon entering the private jet, Laurence turned his head to the old man and asked. "Morgan, what do you think of Mr. Roa? Have you heard of him?" There were over two thousand billionaires around the world and he knew quite a lot of them. However, he had never heard of Arlan Dominic Roa. 

Morgan shook his head. "I haven't heard of this person. However, he managed to take out over 8 billion dollars in cash to purchase our shares. Not anyone can do this. He should be one of those secret billionaires." Some billionaires are famous for building their business empires, but there were also a few billionaires who chose to hide their identities in public. Morgan believed that Arlan was one of those secret billionaires. 

Laurence nodded his head in agreement.

Arlan dialed Krizia's number and informed her about his conversation with Laurence. 

"Boss, you mean you purchased 7% shares of Starbucks?" Krizia's surprised voice could be heard over the phone.

"That's right. I want you to prepare a grand convoy for Laurence and Morgan. They will be in the airport around 9 p.m." Arlan didn't want to neglect his visitors since they were very important people. He learned from Krizia that both men were actually owners of multi-investment companies worth billions in dollars! He would be an idiot if he neglected them! 

"Alright. I'll inform our people to prepare everything before their arrival. You can rest assured, boss." Krizia also knew the importance of this matter. If they managed to form a connection with Laurence and Morgan, there would be a lot of benefits for them in the future! 

"Good! I'll leave the rest to you." Arlan disconnected the call and entered the car. He was feeling a bit nervous since he would be meeting with two billionaires in the evening. Although he was already a rich man, he still haven't fully acclimated himself to his new identity. 

"Son, who called you earlier?" Anaflor asked her son after Arlan entered the car. 

"It's someone from the hotel. I'll introduce you guys to her soon." Arlan replied with a smile. He planned to bring his parents to Pegasus Hotel. He couldn't bring them to the Lake View Villa at the moment. Leandro's men were spread around the Royal Territory. He couldn't put his parents at risk so he could only let them stay in Pegasus Hotel temporarily. The hotel had professional security personnel so their safety would be guaranteed there. 

Anaflor and Lydio no longer asked when they saw Arlan leaning on his seat with his eyes closed. They could sense that their son was acting abnormally since their reunion. They wondered what he was hiding from them. 

The journey from San Benito to Makati was quite long because of the heavy traffic. They only arrived after over three hours.
