A few months had passed since Alex had become the hidden CEO of not one but two companies, yet his life in Lakeside remained remarkably unchanged. He maintained his daily routine—heading to his small crypto office periodically to keep up appearances. The contrast amused him: he was technically working for a company while simultaneously being a silent owner of another, far wealthier enterprise.
As he sat at his desk, reviewing the latest market trends in cryptocurrency, he couldn't help but smile at how easy it had become. The profits he sent to Max were just a byproduct of his time spent in smart mode—a few minutes of strategic trading yielding more returns than he had ever imagined. Each trade felt like a game, the thrill of the market keeping him engaged while his thoughts wandered to grander ambitions.
One quiet afternoon, while sipping coffee and scrolling through articles on energy management, a thought struck him. "What if I could create a program, an improvement to the existing ones recently bought, a program that revolutionizes how PowerGen tracks energy expenditure?" The idea sparked excitement within him, and he could already visualize how it would work: a highly efficient system that far outperformed anything currently on the market.
"This could be my crowning achievement," he mused, his mind racing with possibilities. Alex imagined the program integrating seamlessly with TechWave's existing solutions, providing real-time analytics that would not only track energy consumption but also predict future needs and optimize performance.
To make this vision a reality, he would need the latest and largest server currently available. "I'll need a robust infrastructure to support this," he thought, mentally outlining his plans. Acquiring a top-tier server would also serve as a perfect excuse to justify any expenses, further embedding himself in the operations of PowerGen.
Over the next few days, Alex meticulously researched the most advanced servers on the market, weighing their specifications against his requirements. He immersed himself in technical manuals, data sheets, and user reviews, leveraging his mental prowess to absorb and analyze every piece of information. The process felt exhilarating, fueling his desire to push the boundaries of what was possible.
As he delved deeper, Alex began to sketch out the program's architecture. He envisioned a multi-layered system that would employ advanced algorithms to analyze energy usage patterns. The program would not only track consumption in real-time but also provide predictive analytics to help Max and the team at PowerGen make informed decisions.
"This could lead to major cost savings and efficiency improvements," Alex thought, imagining how the board would react to his proposal. "They'll see me as a visionary, a key player in their success."
Once the conceptual framework was in place, he transitioned into smart mode, feeling the familiar rush of energy as the code flowed from his fingertips. The lines of code danced across the screen, each segment forming a vital part of the larger whole. The beauty of the program took shape, its logic and efficiency standing in stark contrast to the systems already in use.
As the days turned into weeks, Alex devoted himself to perfecting the program, meticulously refining each algorithm and ensuring its functionality. He integrated machine learning capabilities that would allow the system to improve over time, adapting to the changing demands of the power plant and its clients.
Finally, after countless hours of work, the program was ready for testing. He felt a surge of pride as he reviewed his creation, a system that he knew would outshine anything currently in existence. With the right server in place, it would become a cornerstone of PowerGen's operations.
Before reaching out to Max, he decided to present the program to his trusted proxy, ensuring it was user-friendly and met the company's specific needs. He imagined the excitement on Max's face when he revealed this innovative solution, knowing that it would reinforce his own value to the company.
With everything set in motion, Alex prepared to make his pitch. He felt a blend of anticipation and exhilaration, ready to unveil the future of energy management—his future. "This is just the beginning," he thought, embracing the limitless possibilities ahead.
