Chapter 61: 61: Dream Big and Grow Strong
Joe Ga was obviously talking nonsense. If Karman's son had heard it, he would have been thrilled, but to Karman, it sounded like a dream.
He was a professional hunting guide and knew some inside details of the industry.
Starting a hunting guide company in Africa was easy—apply for a license from the government, learn the rules for a while, pay the fees, and you could start the business.
However, this kind of industry was not only bothersome but also risky, and importantly, it made less money compared to selling arms.
But Karman didn't know that Joe Ga's sudden idea wasn't just wishful thinking; it was indeed a feasible project.
A global hunting guide company sounded like a badass project. In reality, you just needed a website, an app, and a registered company to go operational.
I won't be responsible for guiding; I'll simply manage the traffic. Then, these local hunting guide companies can serve me in a roundabout way.
This is something that people in my country have overdone, but the principle is the same, as long as it works.
It is difficult to make a lot of money from managing traffic, as hunting guide services are generally classified under tourism, and biting a chunk off the big players would be tough; also, the capital required would be substantial.
But Joe Ga didn't care about that. Starting without capital and traffic didn't matter; weren't fictitious transactions a simple thing in Africa?
Cycle some of the unreliable money I earned through the system; once taxes are paid, it becomes clean money. Where can't I go?
This was Joe Ga's sudden idea, but it was also an issue he had to consider.
The income from recent transactions started with seven figures; always dealing in cash wasn't practical. He definitely needed a reliable channel to launder the money.
This was something that Joe Ga needed a professional to handle, like deciding where to set up the company, how to build the website, how to interface with offline hunting guide companies, and deal with legal and financial issues—tasks Joe Ga couldn't handle himself.
Most importantly, he wanted to completely dissociate himself from this 'global hunting guide company,' so even if his arms business ran into problems later, this company could continue to operate.
A whimsical idea that came up in casual conversation made Joe Ga fall into thought.
It wasn't until the car stopped in front of his house that Joe Ga realized that he might be thinking too much.
Even the best ideas required the right person to execute them, and due to his professional circumstances, he needed someone particularly reliable.
Something like this can't be rushed but has to be approached step by step. Without finding the right person, any rush actions could be self-sabotaging.
Financial projects couldn't be played out in Africa; the company had to be registered elsewhere, and the transfer of funds needed reliable banks. But Joe Ga was in no hurry, believing it was safe until his transactions exceed eight figures.
When Joe Ga got back home, he found Muto was also there.
Entering the kitchen, Joe Ga saw Muto picking about fifteen tomatoes from his own garden, walking towards him with an eager smile on his face.
Joe Ga felt that Muto wanted to tell him something, but he definitely wouldn't go beyond Karman to talk about Muto's future prospects; suggesting a bit was his limit.
After taking the tomatoes Muto handed over, Joe Ga smiled and said, "I'll cook lunch. Haven't had tomato scrambled eggs in a long time.
This morning, the braised beef brisket is almost ready, so let's add a tomato beef brisket dish—that would take at most half an hour before we can eat."
Watching Muto's face beam with a silly grin and seemingly wanting to say something, Joe Ga waved his hand and said, "Go sit outside, chat with your father. We can discuss anything when it's time to eat."
Muto, slender yet handsome, nodded in disappointment, feeling a bit down as he walked out of the kitchen, sat on the sofa, and barely spoke a few words with his biological father, Karman.
Karman was more concerned about Muto's situation and mentioned to him what Joe Ga had said about starting a company in Italy, and he even described Joe Ga's "grand ambitions." To his surprise, Karman noticed a sparkle in his son's eyes.
During the meal, Nis brought Ayu along and the two women quickly noticed something different about Muto, though they couldn't quite pinpoint what it was.
After finishing her meal, and noticing how Muto would glance at Joe Ga after every bite, Nis curiously nudged Joe Ga beside her and asked, "What's up with Muto? What happened?"
Joe Ga shook his head with a chuckle and said, "I never realized I had a talent for being a business godfather.
Believe it or not, if Muto had any money on him right now, and I yelled 'Sign up for the course,' he would wager his entire fortune just to seek my guidance."
Confused, Nis asked, "What do you mean?"
Joe Ga shook his head and responded, "I mean that the kid is easily fooled. Rather than letting someone else deceive him, it's better to let him follow Karman's dreams and seriously study in Europe for a while.
He has passion, though his perspective is too narrow. However, with systematic study, he might actually turn out to be talented!"
Nis was still confused, but she wasn't the type to delve too deeply into issues, and was just happy for Muto...
"Going to Italy is really nice. If possible, it's best to find a good university and seriously study for a while."
Finding someone finally striking up a conversation with him, Muto nodded eagerly and said, "I understand, my Italian student visa had already been approved. I just thought staying here to build a career was feasible, so I was a bit hesitant.
But now I see, I can leave tomorrow and study law at the University of Genova.
I just need a maximum of four years, and then I can be of help to the boss."
Hearing this, Joe Ga nearly choked on his stewed beef. Coughing vigorously, he looked at Muto and exclaimed, "What? University of Genova? You actually got a student visa? Can you stay in Italy after your studies?"
Muto nodded and said, "Sayram mentioned that the intermediary told him, as long as I can find a job in Italy, I can stay there.
Boss, you wanted to start a company in Italy, right? I can manage it for you and then I can stay there." Explore stories at m-v le-mpyr
Joe Ga was amused by Muto's wild ideas, but it wasn't appropriate to discourage him. Instead, he needed to encourage him, as this was what Karman wanted for his son.
Now that Muto had obtained a student visa, although unexpectedly, it was a cause for celebration for everyone.
The only concern for Joe Ga was whether Muto, who was practically illiterate, could really graduate from university?
Looking at the hopeful Muto, Joe Ga smiled and said, "That's easy to handle. You go and study first. Once I free up some time, I'll get a visa or something and go to Italy to start a company. You will definitely be an important member of it."
While speaking, Joe Ga smacked his lips and added, "This intermediary Sayram found seems capable. He managed to get you a student visa. I wonder if he could get a passport too?
My current passport is not very convenient. It would be great if I could get a 'real passport.'"
Upon hearing this, Muto hurriedly said, "Sure, when I was getting my student visa, that same intermediary also helped the finance minister's son of SD get a Greek passport. It seemed pretty straightforward."
Hearing this, Joe Ga immediately called Sayram, conveyed his request, and asked him to contact the intermediary.
What Joe Ga didn't expect was, within a few minutes, the intermediary called Joe Ga's mobile phone, speaking rather boldly!
