363. Acquisition

"Sulu Potter?"

Orchi chewed on the name fiercely, as if he wished he could bite the other person to death.

"He... I want to report him. He's a shameless thief who stole classified information from Green Tree Castle..."

His eyes lit up, and he shouted.

What he received in return were somewhat surprised and pitying looks from those around him, as if he were a fool.

"Feel sorry..."

The emcee flashed a wide, eight-toothed smile, "I am Green Tree Castle's spokesperson in White Eagle City, and I hereby testify that Mr. Sulu Potter is an outstanding scientist who has not done anything to harm Green Tree Castle. On the contrary, it is Mr. Orchi Francis who, by so blatantly insulting a researcher's reputation and given his previous misconduct, has been unanimously stripped of his researcher status by the Green Tree Castle council..."

"What..."

Orchi was almost dumbfounded.

He couldn't believe things had turned out this way.

Why would Green Tree Castle bow down to a thief?

But now, without a doubt, all the testimonies are against him, and if this were a trial, he could have already lost the case on the spot.

"No... no... why is this happening?"

Orchi stumbled to his feet, seeing the many disdainful, sneerful, and mocking glances around him.

Just moments ago, they were fawning over me, trying their best to please me.

Everything changed too quickly.

"You wait and see, I won't admit defeat... The family won't stand by and watch the Wired Telegraph Company go bankrupt!"

He stood up, his gaze cold, regaining a semblance of calm, and turned to walk away.

This is to contact the family as soon as possible, gain their support, and do everything in their power to suppress the newly established Wireless Telegraph company.

Given the strength of the Francis Consortium and the extraordinary powers they possess, this is still feasible if they are willing to pay a significant price.

However, he, who ruined everything, is bound to meet a tragic end, but that's better than death.

"Sulu... I won't let you have it so easily..."

With red eyes, Orchi rushed into the securities hall and found a wired Telegraph machine.

He even specially installed a Telegraph line for today's 'performance'.

Tap tap! Tap tap!

He quickly contacted his family and anxiously awaited their reply.

The family responded quickly, printing out a bunch of ' Potter Cipher '. Orchi pulled the operator aside; he understood it too and didn't need a translator.

But the next moment, his pupils contracted.

"Boss?"

Andrew, the operator, and everyone around saw that the light in Orchi's eyes had completely disappeared, and he seemed to have become a walking corpse.

'Has my family... abandoned me?'

'Why? It's just a newly established Telegraph Company...'

Orchi's mind was a complete blank; he knew he was doomed.

He will definitely go bankrupt and be burdened with terrible debts.

His family will not protect him; this is the price he paid for being pushed into the position of apparent power.

With honor on their shoulders, responsibility follows one after another!

'It seems that Sulu and Professor William have won this battle? What should I do? Should I continue to go to Mentor Spa? Or...'

This tragicomedy unfolded so suddenly that Andrew's head was still spinning.

After a long while, he walked out of the stock exchange, looked at the roadshow over the Emperor Building, and sighed deeply.

Suddenly, Andrew's pupils contracted as he saw someone leap from the top floor of the Emperor Building...

Green Tree Castle City.

Inner Circle.

Sulu was reading a book in the White Tower, while also gaining some experience points.

Slayden Walter slowly ascended the stairs. "Sir, we have the latest results from White Eagle City..."

For Sulu to deal with Orchi himself would be beneath him. He simply submitted a paper and a company proposal, then asked Green Tree Castle to put on a press conference, and is now waiting for the results.

"Oh? And the result?"

"Our press conference was a great success... because the exchange predicted a sharp drop in Wired Telegraph Company's stock price, it urgently halted Wired Telegraph Company's IPO plans..."

Slayden paused, then continued, "Also... Orchi jumped from a building and has been confirmed dead! Andrew will be fired... Spa will also be reassigned."

Sulu continued flipping through the books, "Jumped off a building? It seems he was truly desperate after his family abandoned him?"

He didn't directly take action by visiting the fifth-tier professional from the Francis Consortium; instead, he had Dunstan and his group issue a warning.

In terms of strength, the Inner Circle of Green Tree Castle is even superior to the Francis Consortium!

Furthermore, this isn't about overturning the table; it's simply an agreement not to interfere and to let the two companies compete.

It's laughable, really.

If an unknown young man were to use Wireless Telegraph at this time, he would likely be beaten to death on the roadside, his body burned, and his foundation poured with cement!

Only when equal or nearly equal forces step forward to provide support can there be 'fairness' in competing under the same rules!

While Green Tree Castle still played by the rules, the Francis Consortium couldn't overturn the table.

Otherwise, they will be the ones who suffer in the end.

Therefore, abandoning Orchi and cutting losses in time is the only option.

Having gone bankrupt, owing huge debts, and having his only hope abandoned, it's understandable that Orchi would contemplate suicide in despair.

Given his professional level and abilities, the outcome of his undefended jump from the Emperor Building was obvious.

"The Orchi Telegraph Company is in dire straits; I've heard they've started chasing debtors and will most likely declare bankruptcy... Meanwhile, a new Wireless Telegraph company has been established. What are your plans next?"

Slayden asked another question.

"Acquire it!"

Sulu waved his hand. "Use the shares of the Wireless Telegraph company as collateral to get a loan from the bank and acquire the Wired Telegraph Company, whose value has now plummeted to rock bottom."

"What?"

Slayden looked up, his azure eyes filled with surprise.

"I only have a grudge against Orchi, not the Francis Consortium. Since they've extended an olive branch, shouldn't we accept it?"

Sulu countered with, "And... the Wired Telegraph Company still has some value."

This world is different after all; it contains many dangerous places.

Wireless Telegraph waves might not pose much of a problem transmitting over the Federation, but what if they crossed oceans, or even the Dark Continent?

Sulu knew that there were several exceptionally large thunderstorm magnetic fields at sea.

In addition, there's confidentiality!

In terms of secrecy, wired Telegraph has an advantage over Wireless Telegraph.

Therefore, buying cable Telegraph now while its value is plummeting can still yield expected returns in the future.

"Okay." Although he didn't know what Sulu was really thinking, Slayden nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it.

"These matters can be handled by professional managers. Since you also have shares, just keep an eye on things for me."

Sulu shrugged.

In this regard, he was happy to be a hands-off manager. After all, since he controlled the power, he wasn't afraid of ordinary people plotting against him. Otherwise, a single curse could easily sever their bloodline.
