Chapter 72
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted
Stella smiled with her eyes. âThat wonât be necessary. Itâll be nice if you keep your promise to give me one billion dollars and divorce me after getting The Vinci Rivera Groupâs control.â
Keegan hummed softly, âGo make me a cup of tea.â
Stella was busy removing the tag. âIsnât Aldor outside? Ask him to make it for you.â
Keegan paused for a moment with his fork. âAre you planning to split half of the one billion with Aldor?
Stella froze. Then, she stood up with a fake smile. âNow, Iâll go now! Mr. Kane, please wait a moment.â
Stella cursed quietly after leaving the office. Youâre just paying me some money and treating me like at maid. When Iâm rich, I have to throw money at Keeganâs face and make him succumb to me!
She bumped into Aldor not far away. Aldor was hurrying with the document in his hands. He greeted Stella politely after running into her.
Stella stopped him and asked, âWhere is the break room?â
âThe break room?â Aldor was stunned for a moment and tentatively asked, âYou want some tea, Maâam?â
âItâs Keegan who wants the tea. But, I donât know where the break room is.â
Aldor pursed his lips.
Thereâs a personal assistant in the secretaryâs office who is responsible for serving Keeganâs drinks.
Besides, Keeganâs office is equipped with a water purifier too. Why would Keegan ask his wife to serve him?
He was a little puzzled, but he did not ask much and told Stella the location of the break room. After Stella had left, he turned and went to the Managing Directorâs Office.
When Aldor knocked on the door and entered, Keegan stood beside the couch with his mobile phone.
He was bending over to check the clothes in the bag. His movement was calm, but it felt weird.
âWhat happened?â Keegan did not look up at him but gestured with his mobile phone.
Aldor said, âYour fatherâinâlaw, Mr. Jewell wants to invest in Semiconductor Technology. He asked Mr Zinn of Semiconductor Technology to have dinner several times. Mr. Zinn knew the relationship between Mr Jewell and you. Itâs hard to refuse. So, he called and asked for your opinion.â
The founder of Semiconductor Technology, Mr. Zinn, was Keeganâs senior and a Ph.D. in the Department of Physics at Trinity University. After Mr. Zinn graduated, he gave up a wellâpaid job at the top 100 enterprises and started Semiconductor Technology by himself to do independent research and development of chips.
At that time, all the people he recruited to start a business were his fellow apprentices, a group of youth who were full of enthusiasm and devoted themselves to research and development.
In the end, two core research and development personnel were poached by other companies with an annual salary of 600,000 dollars when the firm just got better. They even took away the achievements at that time The firm suffered a severe setback and was unable to continue Now that he was comered, Mr. Zines contacted Keegan through his classmates. He hoped Keegan could invest in Semiconductor Technology Chip research and development were expensive Small businesses could not perform well, while big companies looked down on the investmentâs return. Therefore even though this industry had exem development prospects, only a few businessmen were willing to invest in research and development.
If there was a breakthrough in research and development, the economic benefits brought by it would increase by a hundred times. However, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year might be in vain if there was no breakthrough.
After careful evaluation and investigation, Keegan bought 60% of Semiconductor Technologyâs shares at 30 million and became the actual controlling shareholder.
At the same time, he recruited many talents in the industry with high salaries and expanded the scale of the entire laboratory. At the beginning of the year, Semiconductor Technology achieved a breakthrough. Many business people sniffed out the opportunities and made offers one after another.
However, these businessmen were considered rivals, and their business sense was sensitive. So, it was unsurprising even though they knew about it. But, Albert was producing lowâend electric appliances. How did he know about this?
âHow much does he want to invest?â
Keegan took a photo but seemed dissatisfied. He adjusted the angle again.
âHe told Mr. Zinn thoroughly. He said at least 80 million.â
Keegan paused. âHis company has less than 80 million turnovers in half a year. Where did he get this much money?â
