Chapter 266

In the office building of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments located in Cavern City.

Dane Warren, the chairman of Sena, and William, the president of the Terra regional branch of Colossal Investments, each signed their respective agreements.

Dane laughed as both of them shook hands. “William, I hope that Colossal Investments can help us achieve our plan of getting publicly listed as soon as possible,” he said.

William chuckled in return. “Now that we’ve signed a contract, we’re even more eager than you are to get Sena publicly listed. We can only cash in our investment and earn money after Sena gets listed,” he said.

Dane snickered and said, “I am in urgent need of funds to acquire Terizone as well. During this period of time, I have been carrying out the relevant preparations required for the acquisition of Terizone.”

William shrugged. “Warren, I don’t actually understand why you’re being so insistent on taking down Terizone. You need to know that Sena’s public listing is our top priority right now,” he said.

Dane laughed. “There’s something you don’t know. Sena’s public listing is already set in stone. However, Sena is merely one of the four major Internet portals right now. What would happen if I also acquired Terizone and managed to get my hands on the largest online chatting software in the domestic market?” he explained.

William’s gaze perked up in interest when he heard this. “There will definitely be a major spike in Sena’s stock price,” he said.

Dane grinned in satisfaction. “That’s right. One of the reasons I intend to do so is to get back at Terizone for defeating Sena Chat with their platform, but this is a relatively minor point. My true goal is to acquire their company after defeating them,” he said.

“You’re indeed the best Internet merchant in your country, Warren,” William praised him.

Chuckling, Dane replied, “Those few young men are still way too inexperienced and naive to found a start-up company. They don’t know anything about the harshness of the business world. It’s only natural for them to experience such an outcome.”

William asked his secretary to open a bottle of champagne. Handing a flute of champagne to Dane, William raised his glass and made a toast. “To your wealth and prosperity,” he said.

Dane and William clinked their glasses together. “To our wealth and prosperity,” they laughed while making a toast.

Half an hour later, below the office building.

Dane narrowed his eyes and looked at the magnificent office building. He snorted coldly, seeming extremely unhappy.

“Mr. Warren, you don’t seem too happy. Isn’t it a good thing that the contract has been signed?” His secretary walked forward and asked him.

Dane’s expression darkened. “These people are vampires. They want to acquire 25% of Sena’s shares in exchange for helping us list the company on the Nasdaq. They’re scoring a huge bargain!”

His secretary shrunk into himself. He did not dare to interrupt Dane when he was talking about important affairs. “Mr. Warren, are we going back right now?” he asked cautiously.

“Go back? Since we’re already in Cavern City, we can’t miss out on the opportunity to pay a visit to our former competitor,” Dane said. His lips twisted into a cold sneer as he ordered, “Let’s head to Terizone!” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

……

Everyone in Terizone received the news about Dane Warren’s visit immediately.

Hudson and Logan were sitting in the meeting room with troubled looks on their faces while Jasper stood by the side.

Jasper looked at the solemn expressions on their faces and let out an inward laugh. It seemed as if they were preparing for a battle. “Relax, guys. Dane Warren is just paying us a visit. Do you guys intend to beat him up once you see him?” he asked.

“Zaine and the others are still in the operations room. If they were here, they may really beat up Warren,” Logan said in distaste.

Hudson glared at Logan. “Can the problem be resolved through fighting? We are businessmen now. We should focus on business alone. Everyone will treat us as a joke if we start a brawl,” he said in annoyance.

Logan scratched his head and huffed in anger. “I simply can’t get over it. How dare he greet us and tell us that he’s coming over to get acquainted with us? Acquaintance, my *ss! Why is he acting so courteously toward us? Don’t we all know that he’s the one who brought all this sh*t upon us?”

“Those in the business world have their own way of solving problems. Being expressive of your emotions will only allow people see through you at a glance. As Hudson said, everyone here is an adult. Don’t act in a childish manner,” Jasper said in a calm and controlled tone.

Logan nodded and fell quiet after hearing what Jasper said.

Not long after, the door to the meeting room opened and Dane Warren walked in with his secretary following closely behind.
