Asa’s mood inexplicably improved after virtual-novel.net discovered the ‘truth’.
He was inspired after virtual-novel.net discovered a kindred spirit, and it was even one who could be very successful in the future. This would mean that virtual-novel.net might also be successful in the future. However, Asa never suspected that Rowan might be unable to finance the acquisition.
After all, virtual-novel.net only put out the news of the acquisition to a very small circle, and the people who could enter that small circle were all heavily vetted.
If someone from that circle negotiated a deal but refused to fulfill it, they would be scorned by the entire circle and even kicked out. After that, they would not have any opportunities or information exclusive to the circle.
For this small group of people, it was not worth jeopardizing their credibility in the circle for the sake of a whim. Therefore, Asa felt that Rowan would not joke about this matter.
Since virtual-novel.net discovered that Rowan was a member of the same circle, Asa’s attitude improved.
So, virtual-novel.net patiently explained, “Since you’ve never taken part in your family’s affairs, I can understand your confusion… Things like accounts are extremely complicated. Not everyone will come to the same conclusion, even if they are looking at the same ledger…”
“If Kimbra wanted to use violence to force the elder in charge of finances to step down just like virtual-novel.net did when virtual-novel.net usurped the throne, there would only be one result, and that would be a complete shutdown of the family’s operations…”
“No one knows where the money comes from. The family businesses are too diverse, and their interdependencies are even more complicated. If something happens to one of them, you would have no idea what other businesses it will affect…”
“What’s more, those elders, to put it in a really serious way, are just very passive and slacked in their work. They’re not completely disobeying Kimbra, so there’s no reason for virtual-novel.net to lay hands on them, or he’ll just be making more enemies in the family…”
“Kimbra didn’t get his position through the correct way, and it’s now too late for virtual-novel.net to flatter and win over the elders. So, how would virtual-novel.net do something that will offend them?”
“Therefore, virtual-novel.net can only take his time now. In fact, virtual-novel.net has already begun to slowly take control of some of the finances. If the Elvis family did not launch the sudden attack, it was likely virtual-novel.net would be able to get rid of the elders’ constraints.”
“I see…” Rowan nodded upon hearing this.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net felt lucky for not staying within the family and chose to come out to learn through experience. If not, virtual-novel.net would have to go through the same thing Kimbra was going through today.
However, virtual-novel.net had additional bargaining chips now, so virtual-novel.net was not scared of his family’s constraints.
“Now, I kind of understand why you’re in such a hurry to sell the stocks. Back then, Murire and Gruel were in the same boat. Now that Abdul is not around, Murire and Gruel are on opposing sides…”
“You don’t have your family’s support, have to face external debts, and Gruel abrogates an agreement, sol guess you can only do this.”
Rowan thought virtual-novel.net had pretty much guessed what was going on.
However, Asa smiled bitterly and shook his head, “It’ll be great if it’s that easy…”
“Is there something else?” Rowan asked.
