Chapter 1053: Chapter 1052 Collecting Information…
In the rcenary world, there’s a powerful organization that might be better described as a logistics company, except the goods they transport are far from ordinary.
Their orders co from various levels of assassins, rcenaries, wealthy individuals, and so on. The items they deliver all share one characteristic—they’re prohibited!
Whether it’s illegal firearms or contraband animals, as long as you can pay and your identity is adequate, you don’t have to worry. We’ll help you safely deliver to the address you provide!
Over the years, this organization has grown bigger. Every ti Hao Jian goes out, apart from having soone help deliver the goods, he always turns to this organization for assistance.
He’s also not worried about this organization leaking secrets. The re fact that they handle business steadily indicates they’ve invested greatly in their reputation.
Moreover, Hao Jian himself is particularly picky about these matters. Things that et his approval are rare; once they do, it ans the organization is trustworthy.
“Now let’s investigate this guy nad Felix here in San Francisco…”
With two bags in hand, Hao Jian glanced casually at the street outside. The bustling airport was chaotic yet orderly—a scene Hao Jian seldom witnessed back in the country.
Shaking his head, he hailed a taxi casually. After telling the driver the hotel address, Hao Jian closed his eyes to rest; he still needed to adjust to the ti difference.
After returning to the hotel, Hao Jian casually tossed the luggage aside and lay on the bed, not bothering with the ti, and fell asleep imdiately.
Early the next morning, Hao Jian hurriedly finished breakfast and left the hotel.
The ti he had was limited. If news spread that he ca to San Francisco, the people of the Nicholas Consortium would imdiately suspect that he was here to cause trouble.
This way, they’d be on guard, making it difficult for him to find an opportunity to strike. After all, this is the USA, not Hao Jian’s territory. Killing soone here wouldn’t be as easy as leaving casually back in his country.
Walking on the road, he unknowingly arrived at the Nicholas Consortium’s San Francisco branch. Looking at the luxurious building, even as a branch, a faint coldness flickered in Hao Jian’s eyes.
Many tis, Hao Jian approached matters with a mindset of avoiding escalation. He didn’t want to make a fuss, as it wasn’t beneficial for either side. Yet, his attempts to let go were thwarted by the other party’s unwillingness to do so.
Gradually, it led to this juncture. Others thought Hao Jian was easy to bully, but he had to show them that he wasn’t a pushover, not soone easily manipulated!
Throughout this journey, he resolved countless conflicts born from status and identity, often with bloodshed.
This ti, dealing with the Nicholas Consortium also required a bloody approach to make them realize that Hao Jian isn’t soone they can afford to provoke!
“Felix, the number one shareholder of the Nicholas Consortium, holds forty-eight percent of the shares.”
Glancing at the small notebook in his hand, Hao Jian’s lips curved into a slight arc as he murmured, “Madison is one of Nicholas’s councilors and also a shareholder, holding twelve percent of the shares…”
“Moreover, he’s Felix’s subordinate. Together, their shares comprise sixty percent of the Nicholas Consortium’s equity…”
Upon gathering this information, Hao Jian realized why, after Madison’s death, the Nicholas Consortium people still wouldn’t drop the matter. It wasn’t about Nicholas but rather Felix.
From a certain perspective, Madison was Felix’s underling. Their combined sixty percent stake ant significant influence within the company.
Any decision required Felix’s consent to proceed. If Felix wished to implent asures, he’d need board approval. With those shares, he could disregard other shareholders’ opinions and implent asures directly!
Because he holds sixty percent of the company’s shares!
But now, his sixty percent stake went down the drain because of Hao Jian—not for any other reason, just because of Madison’s death!
Madison held twelve percent of the shares, but now he’s dead, turning those shares into inheritance.
If Madison’s son was still alive, Felix wouldn’t worry. However, with Madison’s second heir gone, only the third heir remains, and those individuals are unfamiliar to Felix.
So are even detestable to Felix. Under such circumstances, he can only do his utmost to fight for those shares, but if he wants to contend, others are unlikely to oblige.
Previously, Felix almost had the Nicholas Group under his reign, but now with a chance to defeat him, the other shareholders won’t miss this opportunity!
It’s foreseeable that the upcoming stock battle will be intense. So shareholders may go to any lengths to break free from Felix’s control!
They might not have qualms, but Felix lacks the ability or resources to fight them off completely. After all, Felix isn’t strong enough to challenge them all the way!
Especially when their share differences aren’t vast, confronting them isn’t a wise choice. Felix is just one man, but those people are a group!
Behind everyone, there are different powers at play!
“Heh, since I’ve co, it ans that the Nicholas Consortium will no longer be your domain!” The corner of Hao Jian’s mouth slowly lifted into a cold curve as his eyes gradually turned icy.
This was an opportunity, an opportunity to bring the Nicholas Consortium into his hands. But whether to seize the Nicholas Consortium or not, he needed to look further into it.
At that mont, a group of people suddenly walked out of the branch office’s large door. Seeing this scene, Hao Jian took a step forward, pretending to leave, but his ears were constantly tuned to the people around him.
Calming down, Hao Jian leaned against a Big Tree, watching this group of people pass in front of him…
“Tomorrow is the Nicholas Consortium’s collective eting. After attending, there will be a banquet. Should we prepare a few PPTs to present in front of Mr. Felix tomorrow?”
“Hmm, El is right. This ti the venue has been chosen at our San Francisco branch. We must allocate all human and material resources well.”
“Okay, leader.”
With that, the group left here talking and laughing, completely unaware of Hao Jian behind them, who had received all their conversation content…
“Nicholas Consortium’s collective eting, huh…”
“And a banquet…”
With his eyes flashing, a smile appeared on Hao Jian’s lips. You search high and low only to find it accidentally; just standing at this gateway for a while, he could get this useful information. Hao Jian began to admire himself for his precise timing.
“Let’s go back and plan.”
Since he got the information he wanted, there was no need to linger here. With a glance at the group leaving, Hao Jian hailed a taxi by the roadside and quickly sped toward his hotel!
Originally, he was puzzled as to why most of the information he collected today was related to this banquet. Now he understood why an ordinary banquet was so valued by so many.
It was because, preceding it, there was a Nicholas collective eting!
At this eting, the real senior executives of the Nicholas Consortium would be present, and even though Felix had lost Madison, he still remained a major shareholder of the Nicholas Consortium, and would naturally attend this eting.
Of course, Hao Jian was not concerned with what the eting entailed. What he cared about was the banquet after the eting, which was his main focus!
The banquet was the only event he could sneak into. However, just thinking about infiltrating the banquet, Hao Jian found himself troubled. To attend this banquet, he needed an invitation card, or he would have to be brought in by soone with an invitation card…
After all, the invitation clearly stated that each person with an invitation could bring one other person along.
“What to do? Felix needs to be taken care of…”
In the hotel room, Hao Jian scratched his head, trying all sorts of thods but still couldn’t co up with a feasible plan.
“Do I really have to kidnap soone to take
in?”
Rubbing his chin, it seed there wasn’t a suitable thod other than this. Hao Jian then reached out and grabbed a briefcase from under the couch.
This briefcase was just brought in by the organization he entrusted, and naturally, it contained so firearms such as pistols, sniper rifles, and daggers.
These were his standard equipnt, always prepared. He reached in, pulled out a Desert Eagle, but after a glance, he put it back.
“No, kidnapping can be easily discovered…”
Shaking his head, Hao Jian exhaled heavily.
The banquet was starting tomorrow, but he still couldn’t think of a way to blend in, making him increasingly agitated. Just as he was about to make up his mind…
“Beep beep beep…”
His phone rang.
“Sofia, why are you calling?”
The call was from Sofia, whom Hao Jian had t on the plane. Rembering the incidents on the plane with her, Hao Jian scratched his nose, inadvertently managing to charm such a beautiful woman…
