Chapter 224 Advertisement Plan
"You see, the news anchor just a moment ago, he was fired seven days ago. But, he's still broadcasting live." Jack stated with a smile.
Celine looked at him with her mouth agape. She wasn't sure if she was supposed to believe what Jack was saying or not. After all, this didn't make any sense to her at all.
"What did he do to get fired? No, how do you even know that he was fired on the very same day that he had broadcasted this news?" Celine asked as she looked at Jack, confusion clear in her eyes.
Jack chuckled at that and said, "Just like how I can access their servers, it's not something impossible for me to know that they had fired someone here. In fact, this was the easiest to keep a tab on."
Celine was silent for a while as she looked at Jack. Then, she spoke. "Now there we are, although I'm not sure as to why they fired him, with that smile on your face, I'm pretty sure that he was fired because of you."
Jack looked at Celine with a pained expression on his face. He then asked, "Am I like that?"
"A lot." Celine replied bluntly.
Jack dramatically held his chest where his heart was located and said, "Oh! I'm hurt!"
"Get lost will you?" Celine chuckled at his expression. She then gained a serious expression on her face as she asked again, "What did he do to get fired? Although I'm sure that it has some relationship with you, I'm curious about it."
Jack also stopped his pretense and said, "You should have heard the content of his broadcast. Instead of only focusing on the information about the Tin Preservationists, he talked about how the experts of different servers were unable to catch the hacker."
"I stayed in control of all the servers that I had hacked for about two hours. Then, I returned it to them. This was the information that only the staff members of there respective platforms were supposed to know. After all, this was all about their reputation."
"In the end, this guy let out the information to the public. And the moment that he finished broadcasting, he was fired immediately."
Celine was surprised. This was something that she too had realized. She had actually been wondering if the broadcaster was someone that was against that channel or something.
But at the end of the day, she had seen this guy hosting BNL severally and this should be his sixth or seventh year. By now, he should have developed a sense of belonging.
But now, she saw that there had to be another reason to that. But all the same, it was obvious that his superiors didn't like what he had done and as a result, they had dismissed him off duty.
"But all the same, had you not hacked the servers, this guy wouldn't have reported the news and as such, he would still be having his job by now." Celine stated.
"I told that I would only affect the shareholders, a little of course. As for the employees, there is nothing that is going their way." Jack stated with a smile.
Seeing that Celine was waiting for his explanation, Jack continued. "I'm about to start a social media platform. Furthermore, there will be a TV channel and so on. This guy was laid off but I hired him. He should be back on duty by the beginning of next month."
Celine blinked her eyes both in surprise and surprise. She couldn't help but ask, "Just how many industries are you involved in?"
She had been coming to Jack's villa for training for a while week now. So, she knew that the villas that were present in the serenity residential area belonged to Jack. Additionally, she came to know that he was the one that had acquired the 88% shares of The Rose, making him the only shareholder other than him.
In other words, she had realized that Jack was involved in several industries. The more she was with him the more that she found out. Although she was always surprised, she was also happy to know that her man was so powerful.
"Believe me when I say that I'm going to dominate all the industries. But, that is something that will happen a little later. Although it's later, that doesn't mean that it's too far. Perhaps I can surprise you with a few companies as your bride price." Jack chuckled as he responded.
Celine blushed at the mention of the bride price. At the same time, she felt sweet in her heart because the moment that Jack said bride price, he was showing his intention to marry her. How could she not be excited at that? Being married to the man that she loved the most.
"Anyway, you should know that there is nothing that I did that was overboard. All the hype that I have created so far is not just anything. I have created all this hype to help you." Jack stated after a moment of enjoying Celine's cute side.
"Huh? For me? The hype or ruining the reputation of Collins' family's company?" Celine asked in confusion.
"The hype. Dealing with that family is something that needs special attention from me." Jack cleared her confusion only to create another.
Knowing that she didn't get his point, Jack decided to elaborate. "That hype is all part of my advertisement plan. Although now it is spreading with negative impact, by the time that it would be under you, it should have already gained quite the reputation."
"The only thing that I would have to do at that time would be to shift the reputation of that company. And of course, that is something simple for me. Not to mention that the company isn't that big. That means that the current number of people that were affected isn't high."
Celine looked at Jack blankly for a while before asking, "For me? How would that company be under me?"
"This is part of the compensation that Collins will have to pay. I'm planning on acquiring the company at the lowest price possible. And if I'm not wrong, the company should be acquired by the end of tomorrow."
"But, the company will be under you as this is something that was supposed to be given to you." Jack stated seriously as he fixed his gaze on Celine's.
Celine blinked once, then twice. She was quite confused. She knew that Jack wouldn't let Collins go. But, what did this have to do with her gaining control over the company?
"Don't think much of it. Just know that this is not the last one. There are a few more companies that will be under you. So, better be prepared for a lot of work." Jack snickered as he said this.
"Mmh!" In the end, Celine could only nod her head. It seemed that she would need to get a lot of information from Jack slowly as he continued training her.
….
Valnaro was now standing in front of the major. The major, his direct superior, had called for him. It had already been a week since the time that the major had stated that he was going to have a discussion with the colonel.
Jack had already delivered that week's batch of body strengthening solution, which was already used up by giving out to the soldiers that were having the highest merits and we're injured.
But of course there were those that received the body strengthening solution although they were not injured. These were mainly those that participated in the most risky missions and we're confirmed to be loyal to the country.
"Valnaro, I would like you to make contact with that Jack. It would be good if he could come here as soon as possible. The earlier that we recruit him, the better for us." The major, who was seated on his chair behind a desk stated.
"Yes sir!" Valnaro agreed immediately. This was an order that he had received and he didn't have the authority to disagree. But, if one looked at his eyes, one could clearly see that there was a hint of doubt in it.
And of course, the major also noticed that doubt that was present in Valnaro's eyes. He wasn't sure what it was that Valnaro was doubting. So, he decided to ask. "Can you make your doubts clear?"
Valnaro coughed a little in embarrassment. He was supposed to have a grip on his emotions and expression. This was one of the basics that a soldier was supposed to have, more so for him as a captain.
If he showed a panicked expression in front of the other soldiers when they were under an attack, this would definitely disturb the mentality of these soldiers that were under him. At the end of the day, he was considered as the pillar in the eyes of these soldiers.
Still, it was only because he was quite free with this easygoing major that he had let go of his emotions at that moment. Still, he managed to rein the embarrassment that had swarmed him and gave his reply.
"Major, I would like to know if the colonel had accepted to your proposal." Valnaro put forward part of his doubts.
The major raised his brows a little at the question. In the end, he still gave an honest answer. "Although he hasn't accepted the proposal, he is quite positive about this. So, he has decided that he would have to meet this Jack personally so that he can test him."
"If Jack passes the test that he has set for him, then there would be no problem for him to be granted a position in the military."
Valnaro was surprised that the Colonel was quite positive about the idea. But still, "But major, you know, it's another thing for Jack to agree to come over here. It might be a difficult task to make him come over."
"What did I say before? I said that we would give him the benefits that he wouldn't be able to refuse. So, as long as he gets here, you can leave everything to me." The major stated.
"Furthermore, you said that it would be a difficult to make him come over, but not impossible. So, I would like to believe that you will be able to get him here?" The major continued.
"Yes Major!" Nodded.
"Then get out of here and complete the task as soon as possible." Major stated.
"Yes Major!" Valnaro gave a salute before he left the office.
