Hrithik arched his eyebrows in surprise. This was unexpected. His son, Luther had an ulterior motive to come to his office. To gift him a gadget he made and try to gather capital for its mass production. At heart, Hrithik Rawat is an entrepreneur and investor. Along with being a charismatic public speaker and the top brains of Genesis City helping the city to reach new heights in gene manipulation, he owned many popular companies that earned him large amounts of money. His hobby was to invest his money into interesting and overlooked ventures to increase his money's worth. This was very risky and often he lost his money but he had the capital to continue with his crazy hobby and when it worked, the returns were astronomical. But he loved the satisfaction of a correct gamble the most.
So, he was immediately interested in the gadget his son had made. If it had the potential he would help his son. After all, he liked investing but he wouldn't give me money when there was no chance of getting a return.
"This gadget you have made, tell me more about it.."
"The gadget called 'The Guide' is the ultimate guide anyone could wish for. Its unique application sets it apart from all the other technologies available on the market. The Guide would prick the user to recognize the genetic makeup of the blood., it would be painless and the user wouldn't notice. After running it through the database, it would suggest the best advice. The best technique, the best weapon, the best sect and many more features can be added.
All it is missing is a database with all the required information about techniques, weapons and sects. Which would require a large amount of capital because the sects should be willing to sell their safeguarded information and techniques. There are many more ways to use The Guide the sects could use it to discover hidden talents very suitable for their sect. If presented correctly, it could blow the whole of Genesis City.
These could just be the introductory benefits of purchasing The Guide; later on, it would keep track of their vitals whenever they wished.
Activation of genes is known to be highly volatile and unpredictable and the animal genes awakened make it even more dangerous. But with The Guide, they could get a warning because it keeps track of the users vital. Thus, helping take better action. It could help save many lives.
Also, since I have made the Guide using material found even in supermarkets, they are very cheap to make and could be sold at low cost affordable even to the Lower Category people."
Hrithik grinned, finally looking like a mad scientist, in contrast to his usual polite and handsome appearance. "He's my son. Only someone with my genes could come up with such a great idea. This idea can have so many effects that I can't predict its potential. Once fully flourished it will take the world by storm. I am going to invest a lot, to show confidence in the idea and my son."
Luther had never expected to see such an expression on his father; with surprise, he recalled that he would have the same expression when an idea struck him on how to kill a game. For him, playing the game to its merit was not enough. He had to be the best player in the game, and for that, he killed the game by making himself so overpowered that he could easily destroy the game's storyline or face all the gamers playing the game. In the gaming community, he was known as the Game Killer because once he killed the game everything else was left in dust.
"Luther, it's a brilliant entrepreneurial idea with a lot of potential. I am going to invest 100 million in your project and maybe more later. Also, I will provide you with a small building in the research area to work on your gadget and some projects I will send your way. On top of all of this, some of my hand-picked personnel will help you run the research building and also help to make breakthroughs in the development of 'The Guide'. Make sure to take advantage of this opportunity. "
"Yes."
Hrithik inwardly thought to himself, "It's true that The Guide will be marvellous once it's made but there are risks to investing in it. It is out of my character to invest so much money in risky projects, but Luther is my son and I want to support him. I also hope it will help us improve our bond and maybe he can forgive me for abandoning him."
While Hrithik started sulking, Luther was very surprised, "This went much smoother than I expected. Father is going to provide the funding, a place to work and workers to help him with the manufacturing and production. If other entrepreneurs knew about this they would be so jealous. Being the son of one of the richest people in Genesis City has its perks." Luther wanted to discuss many things but he won't be getting the chance.
Sakura knocked at the office door frantically indicating the emergency. Hrithik immediately opened the door and she rushed in. "A complication has occurred in Sector 6 and an immediate meeting has been called. Your immediate presence is required."
Hrithik's expression didn't change as he looked at Luther. His son looked disappointed, surprisingly even he was. He had to do something about it. "Sakura, check my schedule and give me a date and time when I am available."
Sakura was very efficient and spoke just after a few moments, "3 days from now from 5 - 6 pm."
"Luther, pick a place to meet. We will meet again there to discuss about the future path to develop 'The Guide'."
"Yes."
