The Bodyguard System

Chapter 233: Long-term Plan

Jaden could have easily transferred the money to the accounts of the previous shareholders of the company, but he was waiting for a while. At this moment, he was communicating with the system, inquiring about something.

'System, if I decide to use the 100 times rebate card, can it be applied on the money that I would be using to purchase the shares from these other shareholders, and investing in the company at the same time? After all, all of it would be aimed at my investment into the company.' Jaden asked in his mind.

[It is impossible for the rebate card to be used in such a way. The host will have to choose between using the card on the money spent on purchasing the shares, or on investing in the company.]

Upon getting the system's response, Jaden could not help but contemplate for a while. He was wondering what he was supposed to do. Should he use the card at this moment, or should he keep it, so that he could use it later, when he got a substantial amount of money?

After thinking this through, Jaden thought that it was better for him to save the card. He could use it later on, and get a large amount of money. It was definitely a waste for him to use it at this moment.

Having already made a decision, Jaden went ahead and began transferring the money to the accounts of the former shareholders of the company. One by one, after they received the notification that the money had been transferred into their accounts, they left with happy smiles on their faces, except for the short tempered man.

With all of them leaving, only Jaden and Matthew were left inside the conference room. Matthew did not seem excited at all. Instead, he seemed completely depressed, as if he was contemplating something.

Jaden had already noticed this, and he could already guess what it was that was disturbing Matthew. And so, after everybody had left, he finally focused on Matthew.

"I know that you are worried about the future of the company. But you don't have to. Just like I had told you before, there was just a small delay when it came to the money that I wanted to invest somewhere. But now, the money is in." Jaden stated.

Jaden's words made Matthew to come back to his senses. He looked at Jaden, wondering what Jaden was trying to imply.

"I have already done my investigation about this company, and I know that the majority of the success of this company is related to your management. So, since I want this company to continue performing the same way, I would like you to continue holding the position of the CEO." Jaden continued.

Matthew was stunned. He had not expected that Jaden was going to give him such an offer. Initially, he thought that Jaden was just purchasing the shares, simply because he thought that it was fun to have such a company.

But from his words, it was clear that, that was not the case. Jaden had investigated about the company, and he already understood that the reason for the success of the company was the CEO who made everything happen due to his ability to manage the company.

Just as he was wondering, Jaden continued, "Previously, I withdrew $103 million from the company accounts, and borrowing the loans. This time, I'm going to deposit into the company's account $400 million."

Matthew opened his mouth wide, failing to cover his reaction even with all his years of experience. At this moment, Matthew was wondering if he had heard what Jaden had said correctly.

Could it be that he was just hallucinating? It was possible for that to happen. After all, for the past few days, he had not gotten the chance of resting, considering that he was being pressurized by the other shareholders about the issue concerning Jaden taking the money from the company's account.

It was true, that what he had done was a wrong decision. He was supposed to consult the other shareholders about the matter, before approving for Jaden to take the money. But, not only did he not ask, but he went ahead and approved, transferring to Jaden $103 million.

Even Matthew did not understand what had really gotten to him that he had made such a decision. This was something that he ended up regretting just a few hours after he had accepted Jaden's request.

But since he had already made a promise, he had to fulfill it. And after that, the pressure that he was facing kept on increasing, with him being questioned about the company's finances.

As for how the other shareholders had gotten to know about this matter even before Matthew reported to them, it was because one of them had applied to withdraw $1 million from the company accounts. But, he had given something else that could be used as security for the company, in case he failed to repay the money that he would have taken.

In the end, considering that there was no money in the account, to the extent that they had already borrowed loans in the name of the company, it was impossible for him to get anything. And that was something that made things escalate.

"Are you serious Mr. Moore? This is definitely not a joking matter." Matthew asked with a shaky voice, wanting to confirm that what Jaden had said was actually true.

"Of course I am serious about it. You can use this money to repay the loan that you had taken, and fill in the blanks that I had left after I took the money from the company. As for the rest, I do believe that you will be able to manage that money well. I want to see the company improving, and in case there is a problem with the funds, just let me know." Jaden responded calmly.

Matthew went silent for a while as he digested what Jaden had just said. It was clear that Jaden was giving him authority over all the money that he was transferring into the company's account.

From the $400 million, deducting the $103 million, he would be left with $297 million. With that, the development of the company would definitely reach a level that was beyond what he had ever dreamed of.

Jaden did not disturb Matthew, as he allowed him to think about it. Jaden was not that surprised by the reaction that Matthew was having. In any case, it could be seen that injecting over $200 million in a company whose net worth was only $500 million was something big.

It could be said that he had directly increased the liquid cash that the company possessed by almost half the company's net worth. One had to understand that the net worth of the company was measured not only in terms of liquid cash, but it was mainly based on the assets that the company possessed.

A few moments later, Matthew was finally able to regain his composure. With confidence clear on his face, he stood up from his seat and said, "Mr. Moore, you can be rest assured. I will not fail you. In less than a year, I should be able to improve the level of this company, making it the top company within this entire city, and the other 2nd tier cities."

Of course, Matthew was not naïve enough to believe that he was capable of competing against those companies that could be found within the first tier cities. After all, just a branch of a mall that could be found within the first tier city, was enough to be able to become the top mall present within the city.

Even though he possessed the confidence in his own abilities, and in Jaden's financial capabilities, he did not believe that they were capable of improving a company in a very short time to be able to compete against those giant companies.

But of course, it was not impossible. As long as they got enough time, it was possible for them to be able to compete with those big companies in the first tier cities.

"If that is the case, then I can be rest assured. Make sure that it happens soon. Money is not a problem at all. Try to make sure that you can acquire whatever is needed to make the company reach the top as soon as possible, in any possible means, even if it means that you will have to spend more." Jaden responded.

He was not just recklessly spending money on this company. Instead, he was having a plan of his own. He was a bodyguard. And, the missions that he received from the system were related to him ensuring the safety of his client.

There was a certain project that this company was starting, but it was yet to be put in place. That was an AI that was being constructed by this company's top technicians, so that it could be able to gain real time information on the clients that would be working with the company.

In this way, in case there was an enemy, they would be able to know how to deal with them, while making sure that the client was satisfied. At the same time, this AI could be used to obtain the information on the enemies, enabling the company to be able to destroy them.

Of course, this project was kept as a secret. And, Jaden had only come to know of it from the information provided by Steven. Still, according to Steven's report, it was clear that many people did not think that this project of theirs was going to succeed.

But, it was here that Jaden was going to come in. He would depend on the system, to see if he could get a technology upgrade card that could be used in order to upgrade the AI after it had been completed. With that, it should not be impossible for it to do more than just what the technicians were thinking about.
