Chapter 81: Billionaire, Full Acquisition

Martin took out his phone, went through the contacts, and found the contact of the chairperson.

Instead of contacting the other shareholders, Martin thought that it would be more efficient to contact the chairperson directly.

Tuuut! Tuuut!

There was quite some tension within the office, as Martin waited for the call to connect.

“Hey, Martin, is there anything amiss? Or do you need any assistance anywhere?” An old voice came from the other end as soon as the call connected.

“Oh, there is no problem actually. And, at the moment, I don’t need any assistance. I just would like to inquire about something.” Martin responded.

“Are you curious about this new shareholder?” The old voice asked back.

“Yeah. It is currently a critical moment for the company. So, I’m quite concerned about this new shareholder, and their intentions at acquiring the company’s shares.

Additionally, it would be quite good if I would know about their personality and temperament, so that if they pop up in front of me, I should know how to handle them.” Martin explained the reason behind his call.

“Sigh!” The old voice simply sighed in response to Martin’s words. After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the call said, “Actually, even I myself don’t know much about this person.

But what I know, their background is not something that either you or myself can mess with. And, if they have the intention of destroying our company, they can just do it easily, no need for small schemes.

So, you don’t need to worry much about this person acquiring the shares affecting the company negatively. In fact, you should be prepared, as there might be benefits that would be brought in later on.”

Martin was slightly dumbfounded when he heard the words of the old man. He had not expected that even the chairman did not know about the identity of this person called Michael.

And from his words, it was clear that this Michael was from a mysterious background. And whatever background it was, it was not something that a small company like theirs could mess with.

In actual sense, it was not as though this company was small. After all, it was the biggest technology company within the Eastern province, and had some market shares even within the central province, no matter how small.

But, in front of the real giants that could be found within the central province, Sky Technologies was just a tiny ant that could be easily crushed.

“Okay then. I won’t bother you for the time being. And when we are ready to launch the new product, I will inform you in advance.” Martin stated, before ending the call.

Several minutes later after the call ended, Martin was still sitting at his desk, in contemplation. He just found it unbelievable about what the chairman had told him.

If this person was from a big background, why would they need to acquire the shares of such a small company?

There were quite a few giants in the technology industry, and if this person’s background was big, it should not be a problem for them to be able to acquire the shares of those companies, right?

In the end, Martin could not come up with a possible reason why this person had acquired the shares of this company.

And since that was the case, he decided not to think much about it. Instead, it would be better to find a way of dealing with this person if they popped up some day in the future.

As for the previous idea of contacting this person, Martin decided to dismiss it for the time being. He might decide to contact this person during the time of the new product launch.

Since he had made this decision, he looked at Clara and instructed, “You go ahead with your thing. Don’t bother much about this new shareholder. Just focus on doing your duty, and let’s complete what is required of us.

As long as this person does not affect anything in the company in the negative way, there is no need to worry.

Anyway, even if this person somehow affects the company, those shareholders are the ones that are supposed to be worried the most.”

“Okay, boss. I will get to it.” Clara responded before she left the office.

Martin took a deep breath, before he finally concentrated on what he was doing before he received the information of the acquisition of the shares.

….

It had already been 12 days since Michael began trying to advance his chef skills to the expert level.

Lucky for him, just as he had anticipated, on the following day, during the morning hours, he was able to advance the chef skills to the expert level without any form of limitations.

Immediately after the expert level chef skills, Michael went ahead and advanced all the other skills that he possessed, apart from the driving skills and the unarmed combat skills, to the expert level.

Previously, the skills that Michael had included; chef skills at the beginner level, mathematics at beginner level, language mastery at beginner level, unarmed combat skill at the advanced level, accounting at beginner level, driving skills at the advanced level, and cyber security and information assurance at Expert level.

But after these 12 days, he had been able to advance all these skills, apart from the unarmed combat skill and driving skills to the expert level.

But of course, apart from this, Michael had been able to obtain 8 more skills. Each one of them was at the expert level.

The eight new skills that he had obtained included programming, photography, animation/ motion graphics, videography, acting, dancing, fashion design, and finally, songwriting.

Each of these eight skills that he had acquired had all been pushed to the expert level. And since he did not have any of them before, for each skill, he obtained 6,011 SP.

As for the first four, he obtained 6,010 SP for each skill, as he had already acquired one SP for the beginner level.

Now, sitting on a rocking chair in the balcony, enjoying the night view of the district, Michael was finally able to view his current SP.

Added to the previous 1,395 SP, currently, Michael had a total of 73,523 SP!

This was quite a shocking number, and if it was converted into cash, it would be equivalent to $7.3523 billion! This amount of money, it was already beyond the level of Sky Technologies.

During the past 12 days, most of the time, Adrian had been focusing on compiling the information from different skills for Michael.

This obviously affected Adrian in some ways, preventing him from obtaining even more skills. But even then, it would only be a matter of time before Adrian possessed much more skills.

In the skills that he had obtained so far, Michael made sure not to include those skills that required him to include physical exertion.

Of course, something like dancing involved physical exertion, but, it was not as though it required him to do some crazy things like when he was driving or fighting.

Regardless, with the current number of skills that he possessed, numbering to 15, Michael would be able to make a living, even without the system.

But of course, that was if the system, if it disappeared, did not make him lose those skills.

In his life, Michael had never thought that they would come a day that he would be this wealthy. With over 70,000 SP, which was equivalent to over $7 billion, it could be said that he had already achieved the highest position within this city.

On the evening of the day that he had raced against Alex and the others, Michael had obtained all the information on the powers within this city.

And, according to the information that Adrian provided, the net worth of the biggest family in this city was at $7 billion.

At the moment, with his money already exceeding $7 billion, he was obviously above the Morgan family. But, if he acquired a few more skills, he would be able to be at an even higher level.

Of course, at the moment, if Michael wished, the over 70,000 SP could be converted into something more valuable than just $7 billion.

A piece of technology, if brought out, would have a very high value. After all, the technology sold by the system was at a lower price, as compared to the real world.

After all, in the real world, factors such as rarity, efficiency and so on, all mattered when it came to the pricing of the technology.

But, without any influence, Michael had no any intention of acquiring the technologies, especially the most advanced ones, and bringing them into the real world.

If he did something like this, would he not just be asking for trouble? So, he thought, why not start by acquiring Sky Technologies first?

After fully acquiring this company, it would be the time for him to start his plan. He could acquire one or two scientists from the system store (bio humans), then have them start some research.

And in the case where he needed a fast breakthrough, he could just directly purchase the technology from the system store.

Without any further hesitation, Michael accessed the system store, before he focused on Sky Technologies.

At the moment, the shares that he had not acquired were 85.4958%. This required him to spend $5,129,486,160. This was equivalent to 51,294.8616 SP.

Michael did not hesitate to make the purchase, leading to his SP balance dropping to 22,228.1384. Without any thought, the extra SP was converted into $13,840.

Completely different from before when he acquired the shares of Sky Technologies, this time, Michael received a document from the system just a few seconds after he completed the purchase.
