The day was Monday January 19th Daniel was sitting in a cafe drinking tea. Sitting opposite him was Marisa Weigler, the woman whom the higher ups of Transcorp had charged with acquiring shares in Balerion cigars.
Daniel was glancing through the offer that that was presented to him; §20 bilion for 40% of the shares .
He then gently placed the file on the corner of the table while looking Marisa dead in the eye. " Ma'am, with all due respect your offer is a little insulting. I know Balerion cigars is set to make between 80 and 100 billion in sales by the end of to this year. Here's a counter offer, I'll sell twenty percent for thirty billion and all the shares in JJX construction".
This statement caused Marisa to nearly choke on her coffee. " What you are asking is impossible, you know that right?"
"I don't know if it's impossible but I've made my offer , sleep on it ,pray on it or give me something reasonable. Contact me when you have something reasonable " Daniel, said and left.
In all her years of working for Transcorp this was the first time her offer had been so vehemently rejected, others would find ways to butter her up before they reached a favourable outcome and thw worst part was that Balerion cigars was not listed so there was no way to undermine their stock value.
Daniel on the other hand rushed off to the Bank of Aines ( Aines is the city that Daniel is living in) where he had an account. There he took out a loan for §25 billion at the rate of four percent interest per anum to be repaid in five years. He also used Balerion cigars as collateral and for such low interest rate it only cost him a million in bribes .
The money was immediately transferred to an account under an LLC created by Daniel called KNEIF incorporated and in turn KNEIF purchased fifteen percent of Balerion cigars for §20 billion.
The next day KNEIF incorporated declared their shares in Balerion cigars and within an hour Daniel received a call from Marisa , they had an offer; §20 billion in cash , eighty percent of JJX construction and two percent of Transcorp . It looked like they were planning on keeping him close after all .
Daniel accepted their offer and set up their meeting for Sunday evening.
There was nothing of note for Daniel to do for the rest of the day, he had hired a management team to take care of Balerion cigars but there were things that he had to take care of before things get hectic.
He then drove to a car dealership and began looking around until he saw a majestic looking SUV with dark tinted windows and wasted no time to ask for it . After all the paperwork it cost him §40 million to purchase two of it"
The next day on Wednesday, Daniel took a trip back to command secondary school. After going through the security checkpoints, he drove straight to the administrative office and and requested to see the Major and twenty minutes later he was sitting in the office.
" So my boy tell me what brings you back to these parts" the Major said
" Sir I just came to show my appreciation to you for keeping me straight and also to ask for a favor" Daniel said, placing the briefcase that he came with on the table and opening it. There were stacks of cash in it, amounting to about §2 million.
The Majors eye widened as he saw the money "hmm, so what is it that you want me to do for you, mind you I will not do anything illegal."
" No worries sir" Daniel replied, letting out a little chuckle. " I just need you to connect me with some skilled stand up guys for security."
" If that is all I should be able to get some guys for you by tomorrow ."
" And also if you can help talk to any of your contacts in the police to help me with a gun license it would be much appreciated ". Daniel asked calmly.
The Major without wasting time called his contact in the police and after a few pleasantries he then asked Daniel to just go down to the police precinct that the license was already waiting for him.
After Daniel collected the license he went over to the gun range that he frequently went to, met with the manager and asked if he could now purchase the weapons and before the man could decline he showed the license.
The manager took the license to scrutinize it after all owning a gun without a license was illegal and gun licenses were hard to come by .
After confirming that everything was in order, the manager asked him to pick out the weapons of his choice and after months of coming down to this place he knew exactly what to buy.
He picked out about twenty five rifles,sub machine guns and pistols. He also bought accessories like a holographic scope for the rifles and suppressors. He also bought body armor , extra magazines and bullets. Everything he bought cost about §25 million. He then gave them his address to drop everything off.
The next day five guys arrived at Daniels apartment, they were the guys that the Major had sent for the security job. The Major had already emailed their files to Daniel so all he needed was to connect their faces to their name.
He then made them sign a standard release form that absolves him of any liability that came during the job.
He then brought out a work contract; the contract listed a yearly salary of §10 million , medical expenses and in any case of casualty the next of kin would be compensated with the value of five years salary. There was also a non disclosure agreement in the contract .
After reading the contract the guys happily signed. When they were done Daniel invited them into his home office which was where he stashed the weapons for them to get familiar with them because very soon work would start full time .
Daniel also made a mental note to hire an assistant and an attorney to make his life a bit easier .
