18 Venture II
"Eve, we're changing plans..."
As soon as Arc gave the order, Eve immediately took action she began to inform Dianna and Tiffa about the changes so that they can adapt to the new plan, for a 1-star Rank like Dianna and Tiffa, it is very easy for them to do so. And they can also make their own decision on how to better implement the plan. Dianna is certainly better than Eve at running a business since it's her specialty, and Tiffa can easily adapt to whatever changes they make. As for Biggs and Wedge, well they are just there to scare any potential troublemaker. Even though Dianna and Tiffa are perfectly capable of defending themselves, it is still better to snip the trouble before it starts.
"Eve, about the plan on the warehouse, do we need to change it as well?" asked Arc curiously.
"No Boss, there's no need," Eve answered
He didn't need to ask more, he trusted Eve. If she said no problem, then there will be no problem.
Ring ring!
Arc checks his phone to see who is calling him, as it turns out Anne is calling him about the package that was delivered to his house.
"Big bro there's a package for you here, I already accepted it, what is it anyway?" said Anne on the phone.
"Oh, that… he asks Eve about it in secret, oh that is the new computer system I would need for trading. Using just my phone is inefficient just leave it there, I'll take care of it when I get back, I'm on my way back anyway" answered Arc to his sister
"Sure! Oh, me and Amy, we're going out for a bit."
"Where are you two going?" Asked Arc
"We're going to buy new clothes and shoes" Anne answered happily
"Sure, no problem, be careful," Arc said in a happy voice
"ok, big bro," said Anne
"Eve sends 5k credits each to my sisters." Arc said
"No problem Boss," Eve answered
ding! New message received
"Thanks, big bro."
Amy and Anne both send a message.
He looks at the message and smiles...
Back in the Rowling trading agency.
Hmm, Mill looks at the lists of the new company, he did this once in a while, to see if there are any new companies worth investing in.
He noticed the company called Grand Trading Corporation. And it reminded him of the name Mr. Grand, just a few days ago He and Jake are talking about him. So now he was wondering if this Grand Trading Corporation is related to enigmatic Mr. Grand.
He clicks the company name, it was just established a few hours ago. There are not many details in it, it just says trading of materials from the wasteland. As he continues to read eh, Cardinal building 160flr.
Rowling trading agency is also in Cardinal building, they occupied floor 172-175
in other words, they were in the same building. "Is Grand Trading Corp. related to Mr. Grand? I wonder," he said in his mind he didn't notify Jake about it and there's no point anyway.
He made a mental note to keep an eye on this company.
When Arc got home, he noticed five boxes in the living room, he didn't open them yet. First, he needed to fix his room.
Three hours later, everything was set up. He underestimated the amount of junk he had in his room. It took him two and a half hours to clean his bedroom. And another 30 minutes to set up the computer, it would have taken him more without the help of the ever-capable Eve.
Eve guided him step by step like an idiot, at first he tried to do it himself, but 10 minutes later he gave up. These things are nothing like a regular computer, just the wiring and proper placements of the devices gave him a headache.
He boots it up. And watches as Eve sets up everything, he looks at the screen in astonishment as windows pop in and out, different apps and programs are being installed in quick succession, and he can also see Eve optimizing everything. A few minutes later, everything is ready.
Well, actually he didn't need to do anything. Everything is automated. There are several screens displaying different things like Graphs and stats, on the other he can see stocks being traded and on the last, he can see his history of transactions and current balance of 1.3 million credits. In just a few days, Eve has earned more than a million credits.
How insane is that? He has more than 200 million in cash in his storage ring, but that's like dirty money. He can't just use it whenever he wants. Not only that, but he can also see that Eve upgraded his account into a business account. It used to be an open savings account.
But in just a few days his, 20000 credit has turned into a million.
He really didn't expect it to be like that. He was speechless. Arc stood there watching the automated trading that Eve set up like an idiot. He stayed like that for about 30 minutes.
Ding! Hmm, He woke up from his stupor and saw a message from Anne.
"Big bro, we're on our way home... "
He looks at the time, it's 6 pm. right, It's time to prepare dinner. "I'll take a quick shower first," he mumbles
And just like that, 10 days have passed…
***
For the past 10 days, Mia was so busy coordinating and managing the construction of the warehouse for Arc. The construction business has come a long way since 500 years ago, work that needs a few months can be completed in a few days, 3d printing has advanced to the point that every industry uses it for producing items, from clothing to making battleships 3d printings application are endless
Mia meticulously supervised the printing of materials to be used on the warehouse project. She doesn't want any mistakes to happen, and for some reason, she doesn't want Arc to be disappointed in her at the same time, she wants to impress Arc as she had a feeling that the Warehouse project is just the beginning.
Mia was standing on the observation deck and from here she can see everything on the construction site, she can see trucks lining up and delivering supplies for the 3d printer. Construction drones and people can be seen everywhere. She smiles, she really loves seeing this kind of thing, it is one of the reasons he decided to open a construction business.
Over the past 10 Days, Diana and Tiffa tirelessly completed many things, 5 days ago the first transaction of Grand Trading Corp was made, and it never stopped till then.
Only Arc has found himself nothing to do for the last 10 days, and with the arrival of Dianna and Tiffa, he found that there's nothing for him to do except for occasionally signing some documents, he has lots of free time, so he finds some gym and starts training.
Waking up, he checks the time and smiles. He was excited because today the warehouse will finally be completed.
Five days ago Grand Trading Corp made its first transaction with the Hunters, and it has been continuing since then during that time Grand Trading Corp was able to accumulate quite a huge amount of materials from the Hunters, they rented a temporary warehouse to store it
Grand Trading has managed to hire 5 hunter groups with the help of Barry, Bart, and Jenna who become Grand Trading representatives in supervising the contracted hunter groups.
Arc took a shower ate some breakfast and went outside, outside he can see a black SUV waiting for him and on the driver's seat he saw Biggs, next to him is Tiffa, "good morning Boss" greeted Tiffa with a beaming smile on her face.
Biggs didn't say anything and just started driving, today is the official handover of the warehouse that's been on construction for the last 10 days,
Tiffa doesn't need to inform him of anything since Eve does that in real-time.
"Boss, the owner of diamond builders will be waiting for you at the warehouse. She insisted that she will be the one to hand over the keys to the warehouse to you, hehe I think she likes you Boss."
"You're thinking too much Tiffa, she's just being professional about the work, nothing more" Arc replied with a smile
"No, I think she likes you, Boss, she keeps on asking about you whenever I go there to check the construction. Believe me Boss, it's a woman's intuition." Tiffa insisted
"Woman's intuition huh, What do you think Biggs, is it reliable?" Ask are teasing
"ehh ahh, I'm not sure boss, I'm not a woman." Biggs replied with a straight face
"Hahaha, I didn't know you had a sense of humor Biggs", laughed Arc
"haha, our boss is so handsome, it's not weird for Ms. Mia to be attracted to you, Boss."
"haha is that so," said Arc not responding anymore, but he has a huge smile on his face.
Who doesn't want to be complimented, to be honest, he did become handsome in the past 10 days, his facial features have become sharp, and even his sisters keep harassing him about his beauty secret
They joked around for about 15 minutes and soon enough they arrived at their destination.
"Boss we're here," said Tiffa smiling
"right, let's go," Arc answered
He stepped outside the car and saw the warehouse gate. Honestly, it's his first time here, even when he purchased it he has never been here in person. Eve showed him some pictures and videos, but it's different when you see them in person.
He saw that at the huge gate Mia and probably her subordinates are with her, Diana was there as well she was talking to Mia, and Wedge was behind her still looking menacing, they stopped talking when they saw Arc getting off the SUV.
Arc walked toward them with a smile on his face,
"Good morning guys, I hope I'm not late," Arc said with a slight smile on his face
"Ms. Mia Good morning it's been a while, how are you?" asked Arc while looking at Mia who looks like a movie star. Despite looking professional, she can't hide the sexiness of her body even next to another beauty like Dianna who is a 1-star rank, she didn't lose out.
He nodded and greeted Diana who greeted him as well, "Arc I told you to stop being formal." greeted Mia,
"Right, right sorry bout that Mia I can see that you made a wonderful job thank you," Arc said with a slight grin.
Mia handed him the key, and he took it, the key is nothing more than a symbolic formality since it has facial and biometric recognition features and there are actually no keyholes. But he accepted the key nonetheless. He shook Mia's hand and walk in front of the gate.
The Gate is painted Black with a very elegant gold trimming with Grand Trading etched in front of the gate, as soon as he approached the gate the security features activated Mia or rather Eve already set it into an open house setting just for this occasion in order not to activate any lethal security device installed in the warehouse, and with this many people waiting to go inside it would be dangerous.
As soon as the gate opened Arc sees a scene he only sees in movies, a wide road that can fit 8 huge trucks side by side. On the side of the road is a huge warehouse with heavy-looking doors, the warehouse is empty, so Arc can feel how huge the place is the door to the warehouse is big enough to drive two jumbo jet side by side. It is one thing to see the pictures and videos, it is another to see them in person.
"Perfect" Arc said
When he said it, a huge and proud smile was seen on Mia's face.
He walked into one of the warehouses the crowd was following him behind on his right was Mia explaining things to him, on his left were Diana and Tiffa and behind him were Biggs and Wedge. When he was here, their priority changed from protecting Diana and Tiffa to protecting him.
It took 2 to 3 hours for the ceremony to be completed. A small party was arranged with food and Drinks for everyone who participated in the construction. He chatted with Mia the whole time and promised her that Grand Trading Corp's future construction projects will be handed to her first.
After the party Arc, Diana, Tiffa and with Biggs, and Wedge on the back, went to the back of the warehouse this is the secured building that only authorized people can enter, the security here is no joke,
Eve ordered the most secured and advanced technology available, it's all military-grade Arc has no idea how and where Eve manages to get it from, but he didn't care anyway. It was then upgraded by Biggs and Wedge with Eve's instructions.
The reason for this is that Arc plans to place the Energy gathering Factory here.
Arc didn't waste time. He first chooses the 2 lowest energy factories worth 45en Arc clicks the build button in his mind and chooses where to place them and Suddenly 2 black Rubix cubes appeared in front of him just like the first time he built the paper currency factory.
Two black Rubix cube-like things keep turning and rolling, after a few seconds, two huge cylinder-like objects appear before him. It's jet black in color with a diameter of 5 meters and 15 meters tall with 3 golden rings moving up and down its cylindrical body.
"It's bigger than I thought," Arc said in his mind
With that, his energy reserve is 103 he originally had 185en ten days ago, and after 10 days he got an additional five because of his ring and three more from the system. Adding to 193, minus 90 for both energy factories, leaving him with 103en.
"Yosh, with this my energy gain is 38en every 10 days. It's a good start" Arc said
Next, they moved to another secured building, which is going to be the heart of Grand Trading Corp.
