The moment that he was sure that the shares were no longer under Jack, and he no longer had to care about Jack threatening him about the damage that could be dealt to his family hotel, Simon felt relieved.
At the same time, he felt that the thing that was bounding him, preventing him from speaking freely had finally been removed.
He looked at Jack with a vicious gaze and said, "You think that you have won? But let me tell you something. You might have won this battle, but you have not won the war. You are going to face the real me, in just a few days. You just wait and see. I will make sure that you pay for all the humiliation that you have made me go through."
Jack simply waved him off as he said, "Don't waste time. Transfer the money already. You have already signed the agreement. You have to fulfill your end of the deal."
Simon gritted his teeth as he looked at Jack. If possible, he really wanted to go against the transfer agreement that they had signed. After all, the amount that Jack wanted was not a small one at all.
He thought that If he actually decided not to pay Jack the money, and considering that Jack had already signed the form, indicating that he had already transferred the shares back to him, there was a possibility that his father would actually thank him later on.
After all, not only would he have managed to recover the shares that had been lost to Jack, but he would have also prevented the hotel from losing a very large amount of money.
But when he thought much about it, it was impossible. After all, they had signed the agreement in duplicate. Even though he had only signed the document once, it was duplicated.
So, he was currently holding only a single agreement. Unless he managed to get the other form that Jack possessed, only then would he be able to prove that he did not need to pay Jack money, considering that Jack would not have any evidence.
But that would make things difficult. After all, without any form of proof that Jack had transferred back the shares to him, it would indicate that the shares were still under Jack.
And if he managed to get all the share transfer agreements, managed to destroy all of them, Jack could as well go back to where they had signed the initial agreement, where they had placed the bet. He could go there and complain that Simon had failed to fulfill his end of the deal.
For the first time, Simon was using his brain quite well. So, after thinking through everything, he realized that it was going to be impossible for the family hotel to be able to escape this calamity.
They would have to undergo a lot of pressure in the next few years, but it was not as if the hotel was going to collapse. So, it was better for him to not invite anymore trouble for the hotel or the family.
"My father told me that he is going to gather the money, and he will be transferring the money to you by tomorrow morning. I hope that is okay with you." Simon said after a moment of silence.
"Sure. There is no problem with that. The account number is already included in the agreement. Make sure that the money is transferred to that account by tomorrow noon. Otherwise, I will have to take action." Jack said.
After that, he left together with Henry. The two of them did not need to be here anymore, and so, they decided to leave. They still had to handle another matter related to the new company that Jack had managed to acquire from the system.
When they got back to the car, Henry immediately asked, "About the company, what company is it?"
Even though he had been curious about this company that Jack had received from his system, Henry did not ask about that during the time that they were inside the restaurant. After all, the matters related to the system was something that they were intent in keeping it a secret.
For that reason, he had been holding back his curiosity, waiting until the time that they came back to the car, before asking.
"This is a company that deals with technological items. Currently, it is mainly focusing on things such as Bluetooth speakers, together with other entertainment devices and accessories. But, we can expand it using the capital that we currently possess, and the one that we are going to get the following day, in order to be able to increase the influence of the company." Jack responded as he casually drove the car.
Henry did not say anything in return. Instead, he took out his phone, went to the internet, and immediately researched about the company. But, he had only opened the internet only to realize that he did not even know the name of the company.
"What is the name of the company again?" Henry asked while looking at Jack who was driving.
Jack could not help but shake his head, a little speechless at Henry's actions. Nonetheless, he responded, "Harmony technologies."
Henry immediately typed the name of the company, before looking at the information that was brought back by the internet. He could not help but be slightly surprised by the company.
At the same time, he was amazed by the power of Jack's system. After all, it was capable of giving Jack a company that was worth about $600 million.
"Have you acquired all the shares of the company, or are you just part of the owners, the shareholders of the company?" Henry asked curiously.
"I actually hold 99% of the shares. As for the remaining 1% of the shares, I'm going to buy them right now. I don't want any form of disruption during the time that I will be making the decisions for the company." Jack responded.
Henry on the other hand was surprised when he heard that. He had not expected that Jack was actually going to own 99% of the shares of the company. Previously, he thought that perhaps when Jack said that they had gotten another company, he thought that perhaps they were just the major shareholders of the company.
But it was completely unexpected for them to own 99% of the shares. At the same time, he could not help but think that Jack's system was quite a joker. After all, why did it give Jack 99% of the shares instead of the entire 100%?
But it was at this moment that he suddenly realized something. There was 1% of the shares that was missing from the shares that Jack had received. And according to the information that he possessed, he understood that Jumbo hotel had a net worth of about $600 million.
As for this Harmony technologies, its worth also arranged along those lines. And, if one really wanted to know where the 1% of the shares had gone to, Henry could immediately tell now after thinking for quite a while.
He believed that there was a possibility that Jack's system could only give Henry 99% of something, in case Henry possessed 1%. That implied that just like the money that was being multiplied by 100 times, even the shares that Jack received would be multiplied by 100 times.
Just thinking about that, Henry could not help but feel that this was just outrageous. Did that not imply that if Jack wanted to own the biggest company in the world, all that he needed to do was to find a way of earning that 1% share of the entire company.
And just like that, he would be able to own the entire company. Well, this theory was not quite right though. Anyway, even if Jack was not going to own the biggest company in the world, he was obviously going to be able to own at least the second largest company in the world, right?
While all those thoughts went through his mind, Jack did not say anything. Instead, he drove the car towards the center of the city. That was where Harmony technologies was located.
Jack wanted to purchase the remaining 1% of the shares of the company. He could not allow another person to be involved in the decision making of the company. Additionally, things that were going to happen within the company are going to be quite a big secret.
For that reason, Jack had to ensure that there was not going to be any form of interferences in the decisions that he was going to make. As for the employees of the company, he was not going to lay them off. Instead, he was going to give them new contracts.
But before all of that, Jack had to meet with the shareholder or shareholders that remained. He was not sure if it was only one person or several people that had divided between themselves that 1% share, but he had to make sure that he took it from their hands.
A little bit over 1 hour later, Jack arrived in front of a building. This building was located in the busy part of the city, where it was not that far away from the mall that he had visited together with Charlotte and the other girls.
It was a building that possessed 30 floors. Even though it possessed 30 floors, it only used the topmost 15. As for the other 15 floors, they were rented out to other businesses.
