The Hero

Chapter 96 An Aggressive Youth

Although Zayn has now managed to lure Doug into his plans, he is now faced with another problem…

This fool will be easily fooled. But if Javier joins him, things will get complicated.

'Looking at the dispute between Javier and myself, it would be a miracle if he really decided to sell to me. He would probably take the opportunity to raise his selling price.'

Zayn carefully pondered over the matter after leaving the restaurant and returning to his office chair.

'Based on the capabilities of the Darton Group, it's not difficult for me to understand what 'commands from superiors' are'. Plus, there are other players in the competition, so the fossil fuel business is sure to sell well.

'Well, it's impossible for me to approach Javier directly and have him sell it to me, but what if I ask someone else to do it for me?'

In addition, Zayn also wants to know exactly how much the Darton Group is willing to spend on this fossil fuel business.

Still thinking about the matter, Zayn began to write down all his conditions on a piece of paper and would mark the ones he managed to solve as he left. When he finally met all the requirements, it meant that it was time for him to execute his plan.

When he finished, Zayn made a call to Doug, the first and second calls not being raised by Doug.

When Doug finally answered on the third, his speech sounded a little unclear.

“... How much did you say? The chairman seems willing to go as high as 52.5 million dollars but I think 57 million dollars is also acceptable. ”

“The old fart knows all! Once the policy is set and executed, we will..blergh..”.

Doug really fell unconscious. Zayn even felt that he could smell the alcohol from Doug despite being on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Zayn wrote down 57 million dollars on a piece of paper.

Then, he called the finance department and asked them to rate how much the Reivaj Group's fossil fuel business was worth.

'God! No wonder these big companies are growing so fast! They have really sucked money from the citizens, haven't they?!'

Dumbfounded, Zayn's anger slowly builds up inside him.

“There is an overall profit of 19.5 million dollars that I can make from the original 37.5 million dollars, so why don't I look for something to try and earn a little side money?'

After some consideration, Zayn finally called Kaecilius Morde, his best friend…

That very afternoon, while Javier was checking some documents in his office, his secretary suddenly knocked on his door.

"Trs. Kersey, there's a guy named Kaecilius outside. He said that he came up with a business proposal.”

Javier agrees and tells the secretary to let the man in.

Just as he finished signing the documents in front of him and put down his pen, Kaecilius was taken to Javier's office. He then walked forward and began to introduce himself.

Kaecilius states that he was from the country of Merzia. His family has long been in the coal business and wants to establish a partnership with Javier.

When it comes to coal, Javier thinks this is all very strange. “Reivaj Group is not involved in coal business. Are you likely ... Ask us to invest in your business? If that is the case, I can tell you, that the business is not currently of interest to us. ”

Many people run around running Ponzi Schemes. They will go around getting money from others when they find out that someone has the potential to get a letter of approval to open a mine. Then, after receiving the money, they would establish themselves as the chairman of the company and distribute 40% of the total to everyone who had helped him as a commission, while they kept 60% for themselves.

In fact, it doesn't matter if they lose because they didn't invest anything at all into the scheme, and they can easily wash their hands of anything that might connect them to the scheme. The worst case scenario for them is to lose all their hard work and have to start over.

Obviously, Kaecilius also knew such people, so he hurriedly waved his hand while laughing. “You misunderstood me, Mr. Kersey. I'm not like any of those who try to scam you out of your money. Instead, I am here today I came with cash as proof of my sincerity.”

Javier is a little confused, but Kaecilius quickly explains himself.

“But we are different! We focus on opening up opportunities for development, which is why I am preparing to acquire a fossil fuel plant.”

Javier understood exactly what was happening. "I understand. You want to get our fossil fuel plant. You can then lower the cost by using your family's coal, while the energy produced can be used domestically, where you will then charge the user directly.

“So, it will be a low-cost business with stable returns. Most importantly, guaranteed to succeed!”

A smile appeared on Kaecilius' face. "Fuckin' thick! I know you're a sharp man, Mr. Kersey. You instantly understand where I come from!”

Javier chuckled and accepted Kaecilius' flattery. But as for the fossil fuel generation that has just been proposed, the answer is….

“Sorry, but we have no plans to sell the factory at this time. Plus, you are also not the first person to offer to acquire my company. Actually, someone came here two days ago. But, the same story - I refuse to sell. However, if you are interested in this business, you can invest well in us, Mr. Trump. Mordes. We can be rich together!”

Kaecilius' heart sank when he heard this. He had heard Zayn mention that someone else was trying to acquire the fossil fuel company Javier. But at the same time, he didn't believe it.

'My goal today is not to invest in his company, but to force him to sell his fossil fuel plant!

In the end, seeing how hard Javier was, Kaecilius had no choice but to take out his ace. "Trs. Kersey, I've had someone assess your fossil fuel plant before coming here. They find that your production equipment is old and its production capacity is low. So your company is worth about 33 million dollars. I'm willing to offer you 36 million dollars to-”

"Get out!"

Javier pointed at the door even before Kaecilius could finish.

"Trs. Morde, I've only been willing to talk to you all this time because I think you're a sincere person. Especially we are both the same age. However, for you to actually claim upfront that my factory is only worth 33 million dollars ... do you consider me a fool? Do you think I don't realize how much my own company is worth?!

“In fact, the last person who came here offered me 42 million dollars, but I ended up sending him away too. However, you tell me that my company is worth 33 million dollars?

“True, don't waste any more time. The elevator is on your right after you exit my office. Take your 33 million dollars elsewhere. We don't need it!”

Kaecilius hurriedly tried to calm Javier down when he saw how angry he was at the man. However, he also felt that the situation was now a little complicated after hearing the information Javier had just revealed to him.

Kaecilius quickly searched for an excuse to leave his office so he could call Zayn.

Meanwhile, Zayn only nodded his head when he heard about the 42 million dollar bill.

'It looks like Doug's information is accurate, not just one company understands what these orders from superiors are ...'

Therefore, Zayn gave Kaecilius his ultimatum. “I will only offer 49.5 million dollars at most. And after the deal is sealed, I want the handover done immediately!”

Kaecilius now had ammunition in his rifle thanks to this ultimatum.

When he returned to Javier's office, he came up with all sorts of excuses and inducements until—

Javier became frustrated with his efforts.

'What are you trying to do now? I've already told you that I'm not selling my company, yet you're now raising your bid price? Does that not make you angry?"

Kaecilius maintained his pure expression without looking frustrated in the slightest.

“To be honest, My father never saw me as a competent person. He thought that my older brother was much more suited to take over the family business because of his conservative personality. So I need to prove to my Dad that I am competent enough to surpass my brother!”

Surprisingly, Javier seemed to admire Kaecilius for his aggressiveness and ambition.

“Again, I really have no intention to sell my fossil fuel company. Even though you already offered me 48 million dollars, I still..”.

“F * ck this, I will cut directly to the chase! 49.5 Million dollars. That was my last offer! Either we immediately resume the handover, or I go!”
