[Chapter 234]
East League International's unscrupulous spending in Springfield naturally offended some people.
Originally, some investors were still undercutting the price of promising companies in hopes o f obtaining greater benefits at a lower price.
However, as soon as East League International stepped in, they swallowed up all the shares at a higher price, which enraged a lot of the investors.
This act united a lot of people, who then used their connections to block out East League International from the Springfield investment community.
This led to some restrictions on the development of East League International. After all, an individual could not invest in a company alone. The boss was not a fool either, so they would not let East League International hold too many shares. If that was the case, wouldn't they be handing the entire company to others on a silver platter?
Therefore, under the blockade of countless investors, many companies started to stop interacting with East League International.
Pearl also reported the matter to David.
David thought about it and decided that they could not allow this.
If East League International's development was restricted, he would not be able to spend his money. If he could not spend his money, he would not be able to get lavish points. If he could not get lavish points, how would he improve his strength?
He had to figure out a way to resolve this.
In the end, David decided to release the news of the Daniels' fall from grace after going against East League International. That way, he might be able to intimidate the weak.
This was his original intention behind destroying the Daniels, but in the end, the matter was blocked by the Zimmermans because Clinton was the one who helped him finish it.
David was going to put the news out. Of course, he would say that it was wholly done by East League International.
However, he could not tell everyone himself. If he tried, he would only be tooting his own horn and the credibility of the matter would be greatly reduced. Hence, he needed to find a powerful person to help him with this.
After thinking about it, David thought of one person, and that was Rhonda.
In the past few days, he had nothing better to do so he started researching about the powerful forces in Springfield online.
The Rogers was known as one of the top four families of Springfield while a family like the Daniels had no chance in Springfield at all.
Rhonda was probably one of the Rogers from Springfield and her status was probably nothing to scoff at.
Thus, he called Rhonda to explain his intentions, hoping she would do him a favor.
Rhonda agreed to help David after consulting her brother Tony.
Less than an afternoon after the Rogers released the news, the dozen or so people in the group that had been working together to block East League International all quit.
Moreover, the first to exit the group was the organizer and also the admin of the group.
The Daniels were destroyed, and they still wanted to block out East League International? This would be courting death!
The organizer, in particular, moved the company to another city as soon as he quit the group.
He could not stay in Springfield anymore because he might one day be destroyed without even realizing it.
The Daniels were a family with a history in Springfield, and if such a powerful family could disappear in less than a day, then small fries like them would not be able to escape.
With that, East League International finally gained a strong foothold in Springfield.
Meanwhile, David was also preparing to leave Springfield and go to Capital City to complete the formalities for the Special Task Force and Falcon.
At this time, David received a call from Oliver, the chancellor of South River University.
"Mr. Carson, hello," David answered the phone.
"Hello, David," Oliver replied politely.
He did not put on the airs of a chancellor in front of this student who had donated 100 million t o the university.
"May I know why you're looking for me, Mr. Carson?" David asked.
He was also curious why Oliver called him. He could not be here to ask David to go back to the university, right? He had just donated 100 million to the school.
Was it because of Sarah?
He should not be the one responsible for that, right? Leo was the real culprit, okay?
"David, our school will send several students to Greenwood University in Capital city this week for exchange and study. Given your outstanding performance, we are going to let you join as well. Do you have the time?" Oliver asked.
The quota to go to Greenwood University in Capital City for an academic exchange program was decided by the heads of the university at a meeting.
Those who could go were the top students of South River University. After all, they would represent the entire South River University by going there.
Although David performed well in school, he still had a long way to go compared with the real top students.
As for why he got this spot, it was entirely because of the 100 million he donated to the university as well as his mysterious and unknown identity.
None of the heads of the university wanted to offend this cash cow right now.
If he could donate 100 million while he was still studying, who knew if he would donate again i n the future? And if he donated 100 million the first time, the next donation would definitely b e at least 100 million too.
Therefore, Oliver proposed to give David a spot at the meeting, which was then passed with a unanimous votes.
David was also a little surprised when he heard that Oliver was asking him to go to the exchange at Greenwood University. However, he quickly felt at ease.
He was no longer the David he used to be.
Furthermore, this kind of exchange and learning opportunity was not available to everyone. Those who could go were the best of the best in the university. Besides, this would also be a high point in their academic life.
David had heard of it before, but it had nothing to do with him. In high school, he was still the top student in the school, but when he came to South River University, a top-ten institution in the country, he was completely defeated by everyone else.
If it were somewhere else, David definitely would not go because he still had a lot of matters to handle, and these things were meaningless to him now.
However, he could still join in if they were going to Capital City since he himself was going to Capital City to take care some business anyway.
"Okay, I happen to need to go on a business trip to Capital City anyway," David said.
"That's good, it's decided then. Are you going on your own or are you going with us? I will be leading the team this time," Oliver asked.
"I'll go by myself." "Alright, just call me when you're in Capital City."
"Sure, thanks, Mr. Carson."
"You're welcome."
After hanging up the phone, David called Pearl and told her that he was about to leave. If there was anything she needed, she should just call him.
Naturally, Pearl did not want David to leave, but the problem in Springfield had been resolved and she did not have a reason to stop him.
Therefore, she could only wish David a safe journey.
David got on a plane to Capital City that afternoon.
He only called Pearl and did not tell anyone else.
Pearl originally wanted to send him off but was stopped by him.
Her identity was a little sensitive right now, and she had gained a little fame in Springfield. After all, the money that flowed out of her hands had reached more than 100 billion. If the media found out about this trip, David's identity might be exposed.
He had gotten a lot of returns from his trip to Springfield this time. Not only did East League International enjoy a huge improvement in its development, but his ability also improved by leaps and bounds.
Additionally, his lavish points were also increasing at a steady rate. He believed that he could soon increase his mind power too.
