Chapter 503 Secret Project
Normal world…Azima…
Not long after the Jackson Enterprise was founded, Jonathan took over the position as the CEO. After that, he immediately began making big moves from the beginning.
Since he currently possessed the connections of both the companies that Jack had created or bought, together with the connections that the Jesda family possessed, he was able to stabilize his position as the next family head of the Jesda family.
There was no competition. After all, even the assets that the entire Jesda family possessed could not match the Jackson Enterprise at all. So, although he did not have much competition previously, even all those that were planning to try and compete against him had already given up on that.
As for the family elders that were thinking about helping the children of their own lineage in order to be able to get the position of the family head, they immediately gave up on that. After all, it did not seem that Jonathan required the influence of the family that match. He could ignore everything in the family, but still, he would be holding an important position.
Other than that, it seemed that the economy of the country had begun falling. Jonathan was not sure about the reason, but still, it was as if the funds that came from the government had suddenly disappeared out of nowhere.
Additionally, without any important reason, the taxes had been increased. And since Jonathan did not know that there was the existence of the hundred times income multiplier system, he really cared about the profits of the company.
So, after realizing that the profit had drastically reduced, Jonathan immediately decided that he was going to begin investing in the other countries. Although it might be a little difficult to be able to gain a foothold there, but, that was not a problem as of now.
Currently, they were already monopolizing five industries in the country. And, they did not monopolize the industries using underhanded tricks. Each and every of the five industries that was dominated by the Jackson Enterprise was something that could not be duplicated.
That implied that, although it might take some effort, but still, it was definitely not impossible for the Jackson Enterprise to be able to enter into several other countries. Of course, all that he had to deal with was the regulations that the governments of the several countries that he was intending to invest in had put in.
If there was a country that put in some regulations that seemed too unreasonable, Jonathan would immediately cancel the investment plan that he was having.
But of course, the majority of the countries had already accepted that. That was especially so for The Future Techs, and The Rose Entertainment Company. These two were capable of creating a lot of job opportunities in their countries, and other than that, they were going to promote transportation, reduce the costs that were spent in using the fuel, and at the same time, provide a platform where the youths would be able to showcase their talents.
Since Jack had already informed all the managers of all the companies that were under the Jackson Enterprise, each and every one of them cooperated with Jonathan. Of course, they wanted to see the rise of the companies that they were in charge of, enabling them to reach a height that they had never dreamt of.
Benjamin on the other hand who was a little stressed. After the visit from Jack previously, he had decided to increase his efforts in order to look for his daughter.
It was just that, It was a little difficult to be able to enter the stronghold domain. Additionally, although they themselves were actually possessing a group of people that was present inside the stronghold domain, but, it was not as if they were all-powerful.
The number of strongholds that they could access was small, and, accessing the stronghold was not everything. After all, after accessing the stronghold, they had to deal with the organizations that were present within the stronghold.
That was something that was giving him a headache. Previously, he had just been asking for information about Anne's whereabouts. But now, he had decided to be serious. So, he was intending to use some spies in order to try and see if there was any information about his daughter.
This was not just for the sake of his grandson who did not seem to take him as his grandfather, but, this was also the love of a father. There was no way that he was going to continue staying idle, while his daughter was missing.
But so far, all his efforts had not borne any fruits. This was something that was frustrating him the most. He was wondering just where Anne had disappeared to.
It was true that he himself had never stepped inside the stronghold domain. After all, although there was a group of people inside there, and they had even began an organization of their own, but still, they were not capable of making them, the entire Jesda family to be able to move freely within the stronghold domain.
…
Azima, Kartu city.
Inside a deep forest, there was a facility that was located here. And, although it was true that the forest was not that thick considering that this was the central province, but, the facility was not located on the ground, but, it was located underground.
The facility Itself was modern, possessing a lot of equipment that were way above the normal equipment that could be found within the normal world.
Several people wearing lab coats could be seen moving from place to place, some of them carrying reports that they had written, ready for presentation.
Intensive research was being carried inside this facility. There were several strange plants and animals that could be found inside here, locked inside a cell that was fully surrounded by white walls.
Currently, inside a meeting, there was a group of five that was discussing. Four of them were wearing lab coats, implying that they were scientists. As for the other one, he was wearing meticulously, a black suit, a white shirt, and a blue tie.
His medium length hair was combed backwards. He was a middle-aged man, with well-trimmed beard on his chin. Currently, his expression was not looking good at all.
He looked at the four scientists and said with a stern voice, "You have been delaying the results. Do you know that I'm getting impatient right now. I have already begun utilizing the funds of the country, but they were not enough. Then, I went ahead and increased the talks that they are supposed to be paying, but, the funds are still not enough. Are you trying to mess around with me?"
This person was none other than the president of Azima, Newton Deli. Initially, he was a good president with a good vision. Since the time that he took over as the president of Azima, he had improved the central province.
His plan was simple, he was going to improve the central province first. And, after the central province was well improved, he was going to begin focusing on the other provinces as well.
But suddenly, nobody understood the reason why he suddenly stopped all the projects that were still running. The funds that were supposed to be used in developing the country had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Some people decided to make some follow-ups, but, nobody knew the reason why there were no results at all. It was as if the people who had decided to follow up on the matter had suddenly become dumb, not capable of speaking anymore.
What the public did not know was that, Newton was actually investing all that amount of money that he had gotten in a project. The project began a few years ago, but still, he had not gotten the results that he was looking for.
"Mr. President, we are sorry to disappoint you. We have tried all that we can, but still, the results are all coming out negative." One of the scientists managed to speak.
Newton's expression did not change. But still, he was not happy about what he had been told. He looked at the man and asked, "Are you trying to tell me that all the funds that I have spent in this project are going to be wasted? If you knew that you were not going to be able to complete this project, then, why are you accepting for the public to be able to recognize you as the best scientists within the country?"
The lips of the four people could not help but twitch a little. 'First of all, this is a research, not something that has already been developed. So, it is a risk that we are taking, so, it is inevitable that losses might occur. Additionally, who knows that they are not going to be capable of completing the project even before beginning?
Other than that, there is still a fact that you are the one that actually forced us to come over to work for you. Did we request for this? As for being recognized as the best scientists in the country, is that wrong? We are the best in the country, but, who said that being the best implies that we are capable of dealing with every problem?'
Of course, those were the thoughts that ran through the minds of the four people. But, none of them was able to say it out loud, unless they did not value their lives anymore.
"How long has it been? The project has not been successful. I want her to wake up. If she does not wake up, then I'm going to make sure that I kill all of you." Newton stated with killing intent coming from his body.
'What is wrong with the president this time? Just because his wife has been unconscious for several years, he has decided to use all the funds in the country to sponsor this project, just to wake her up?' The scientist who were already trembling could not help but question themselves.
