Chapter 541
When Leonard recalled how he had boasted about himself in front of Jack, he felt embarrassed beyond belief. He wondered how a young man from Zargonia had managed to earn such a respectful welcome from the mayor of New Vork. Not only that, but Francisco had also prepared a dinner banquet just for him.
Was it as Jack had said? Did an earth-shattering change happen in Zargonia over the past few years?
Benji and Ruth had also witnessed the entire scene unfold. They had watched as Jack was ushered into the Rolls-Royce by the bodyguards. The police cars had cleared a path on the road, allowing the Rolls-Royce to speed away into the distance. Their faces felt hot as if they had been slapped.
Ruth's eyes were sparkling with excitement. She never expected to be so surprised by the man she had coincidentally met on the plane.
The bald man exclaimed, "That chubby man is the mayor of New Vork, isn't he?"
Ruth answered proudly, "The man that was with the mayor is my friend. He just arrived from Zargonia and hasn't moved here yet."
"That's amazing!"
Anyone who had immigrated from overseas to Federia was aware of how difficult it was to adjust to their new life. However, the young man had garnered the care and attention of the mayor of New Vork upon his arrival. It was truly an amazing feat.
Francisco and Claude had become fast friends after getting to know each other. If Genesis wanted to become a public-listed company on the Masdaq Stock Exchange, not only did they need financial support, but they also needed political support.
Of course, to obtain such support, they needed to produce a certain amount of financial compensation. Franscico was more than willing to acquaint himself with Jack, who was still young but was already a billionaire.
In New Vork, politicians were easily and rapidly replaced. However, a capitalist had a stable and immovable position. A politician might be booted out of his position after a few years since it was still a job at the end of the day.
Meanwhile, a capitalist had a long and stable future. To put it in simple terms, a capitalist who was worth billions could work in any position. They could even work as the president of a company if they wanted to. Read complete version only at find~novel~net
On the other hand, a politician wanting to become a capitalist that was worth billions wasn't so easy in comparison. Francisco had considered the possibility of joining Genesis as a high-ranking official once he resigned from his position of mayor of New Vork.
That night, Jack, Claude, and Francisco had dinner together while also engaging in lively conversation. The next day, with recommendations from Francisco and Claude, the capital giants of New Vork developed a keen interest toward Genesis. They even hosted an extravagant welcoming party for Jack, who they've already predicted to be the next billionaire.
During the party, Jack made friends with a few capitalists. One of them was an alumni who also hailed from Zargonia-Alexi Bloomsfield, who was worth billions. Alexi was interested in Genesis and had expressed his desire to use the funds he had to purchase a large amount of Genesis' stocks once it became a public-listed company.
The reality was that any high-tech company that had a high market value was spearheaded by a lucky and ambitious youngster. The success of the company was oftentimes put into motion when the person was struck by a moment of inspiration
Jack and Alexi became friends when they realized they were both from Alnewgo University. In fact, Alexi could be considered as Jack's senior. Although Alexi was already in his early-40s and had found success, he still remembered the four years he had spent in Alnewgo University clearly and fondly.
As they were chatting about the university, Alexi suddenly asked, "Did you know?
Alnewgo University will host its centenary celebration soon."
Jack nodded in response. "I've heard. The university has already started preparations for it."
He had first heard about the celebration during Clarice's dinner banquet. Since Clarice was a successful person in her own right, the guests had speculated that she would definitely receive an invitation for the celebration. As more time passed, news of Alnewgo University's centennial celebration had also spread far and wide. Alexi continued, "The university has sent out invitations to all the successful alumni all over the globe."
As a successful businessman who had made his fortune in Fall Street, naturally Alexi had also received an invitation a long time ago.
