On Christmas Eve, George came to London again. In addition to bringing coffee, sugar, beef and other supplies to the Razor Party and making a fortune, he also had another matter to deal with.
However, as soon as he arrived at Stana's place, he was immediately entangled by the goblin.
There was no choice but to put aside the business temporarily. How could he have time to ask about other things?
As for George, that was... two months without meat.
For a while, it was earth-shattering.
When everything was over, George looked quite proud.
How could George, as a great wizard, not be proud? However, his victory did not last long.
No wronged souls were left under the demon-suppressing wand.
A fierce battle, from afternoon to evening, from evening to late night, from late night to early morning.
Who was the winner?
It's hard to say, but the next morning, both Stana and Jili were full of rosy glow, and their well-nourished faces were particularly beautiful. However, George's mind was not on this at this time, but went directly to the company.
Of course, the two of them went to the company together. After all, one of them was a manager and the other was a secretary. When the real boss came, they were both secretaries. This is the true meaning of a secretary. When it's busy, the secretary does it, and when it's idle, the secretary does it...
When the three of them arrived at the company, the company's lawyer Ian Thorpe was waiting in the office.
"Hello, George, long time no see."
"Hello, Ian."
When George came to the office, Thorpe followed him in.
"What did you get?"
He asked when he took off his camel hair coat and hung it in the closet attached to the wall. Thorpe first took out a report from his briefcase and handed it over, then took out a notebook from his pocket, opened it, and told about his recent work results.
"Just as we planned, our lawsuit for creditor's rights was supported by the court. In order to avoid being pursued for debt, those small shareholders sold their shares one after another, but how could they sell those shares? So, we bought about 47% of the shares at an extremely low price."
Looking through the report of Ian Thorpe, the Royal Counsel, George asked.
"That means we now hold 95% of the shares of North Borneo?"
"Yes, the remaining 5% belongs to an old widow. If the old widow can still breathe, she should be 85 years old. Now she lives in a lifeless old house in Kensington, accompanied by a personal maid who has served her for many years."
Thinking for a moment, George said.
"But why does she still hold on to those shares?"
"Just because she doesn't want to sell, the elderly often have some ridiculous ideas, maybe just because this is the property left to her by her husband."
"It's just nostalgia..."
George thought for a while and said.
"Ian, go find out about the old widow, find out her background, what she thinks, what she loves, what she hates, what she likes to eat, and most importantly, find out her weaknesses. There must be something that suits her taste anyway. Go find out and take her shares."
For George, who is determined to be a local emperor in North Borneo, what he wants is 100%. If he wants it, he wants it all!
Only by buying all the shares can he be the real local emperor of that land, and he can do whatever he wants.
"Of course, I have sent investigators, and I believe there will be results soon."
Then Ian said again.
"George, there is one more thing I need to remind you. According to the British Corporate Law, anyone who wants to buy 10% of a company's shares announced by the stock exchange, or more than this number, must prove his identity to the company's board of directors within two weeks. The purpose of this law is to enable the public to know the identity of the buyer, how many shares he bought, and which company he bought from. Soon, everyone will know your identity, which requires you to make some preparations."
"What exactly?"
George asked back.
"At the beginning, I hid my identity to avoid alerting others and letting them intercept me. Now... whatever, I'm just a young millionaire from China."
Shrugged his shoulders, George looked indifferent. Now he is also well-known in New York, not because he bought a factory with zero dollars, but because Hedy Lamarr moved into his home.
Although the two people did not live together at all, they were cohabiting lovers in the eyes of the outside world.
In fact, the two people did not even hold hands.
George was helpless about this unjust accusation!
"It's no big deal that your identity is exposed. The affairs of the North Borneo Company can proceed as planned. I need you to do something when I come here this time."
"It's not just your identity that is exposed, George."
Ian said.
"The North Borneo Company is not an ordinary company. It is a company that owns colonies, and many of its affairs are managed by the Colonial Department. Now its board of directors or holders have changed. The colonies may not intervene. You need to be prepared."
That is to say, the official intervention. This does require some preparation. After all, the British are not necessarily happy to see their territory taken away by foreigners. Especially in this special period, it was bought by foreigners at a low price for machines.
If the colonies intervene, what will they do? This is unpredictable.
But it seems that he can't do anything at the moment. In fact, the British are the same. After all, North Borneo is now under the occupation of the Japanese.
After a moment of silence. George said.
"We can only take one step at a time. Let's go do another thing first."
"Whatever you need, just tell me."
"Have you heard of Flying Refueling Co., Ltd."
"I don't seem to have any impression."
Ian said.
"But I can send someone to investigate first."
"Well, it's like this. This company was founded by pilot Allen John Cobham. He specializes in the production and manufacturing of aerial refueling equipment. I need to buy their aerial refueling technology. Well, it's okay to directly acquire the company."
"Aerial refueling technology?"
"Yes, this technology can be used in war to refuel bombers in the air and increase their range. Maybe this technology is not needed for bombing Germany, but it can definitely be used for bombing Japan. Although it's a little late, if we hurry up, we can definitely catch up with this war."
When saying the word "catch up", George waved his hand to emphasize his tone.
"With this technology, the range of bombers can even be doubled. At that time, distance will no longer be a protective umbrella for Japan, and bombers can easily drop bombs on the heads of the Japanese. George continued.
"So, I need this technology. How about it? Is there a way to acquire this company?"
"George, my friend,"
Ian said with a smile.
"In this world, there is nothing that can't be solved with money. You just need to wait for my good news. "
