18 Venture II
"Eve, we're changing plans..."
And with that a lot of things are changed, Eve immediately conveys the changes to Dianna and Tiffa as for Biggs and Wedge they don't need to know, as their job is simply for protection...
"Eve, about the plan on the warehouse, do we need to change it as well?" asked Arc.
"No boss there's no need,"
He didn't ask more he trusted Eve. if she said no problem then there will be no problem.
Ring, ring!
"eh, Anne what's up?"
"Big bro there's a package for you here I already accepted it, what is it anyway?"
"oh, that.." He asks Eve about it in secret. "Oh, that is the new computer system I would need for trading. using just my phone is inefficient.. just leave it there, I'll take care of it when I get back, I'm on my way back anyways.."
"Okey! oh me and Amy we're going out for a bit."
"where are you two going?"
"we're going to buy new clothes and shoes hehe."
"Ah ok, no problem be careful."
"Ok, big bro."
"Eve sends 5k credits each to my sisters."
"No problem boss."
Ding! new message received
"Thanks, big bro."
Amy and Anne both send a message.
He looks at the message and smiles...
Back in the Rowling trading agency.
Hmm, Mill looks at the lists of the new company he did this once in a while ever since he received the warning from Jake to stop looking at Mr. Grand.
And sure enough, there is no Mr. Grand on the list of traders, but he knew the name was there and it was just hidden.
As he browsed through the list of new companies one company name got his attention to Grand Trading Corp.
He clicks the name, it was just established a few hours ago. there are not many details in it, it just says trading of materials from the wasteland.. as he continues to read eh, Cardinal building 160flr.
Rowling trading agency is also in Cardinal building they occupied floor 172-175
in other words, they were in the same building.. are Grand Trading Corp.. related to Mr. Grand? I wonder He didn't notify Jake about it as there's no point anyway.
He made a mental note to keep an eye on this company.
When Arc got home he noticed five boxes in the living room and he didn't open them yet. First, he needed to fix his room.
3 hours later everything was set up.. he underestimated the amount of junk he had in his room.. it took him two and a half hours to clean his bedroom.. and another 30minutes to set up the computer, it would have taken him more without the help of the ever-capable Eve.
Eve guided him step by step.
Like an idiot, at first, he tried to do it himself but 10 minutes later he gave up. These things are nothing like a regular computer, just the wiring and proper placements of the devices gave him a headache.
He boots it up.. and watches as Eve sets up everything, he looks at the screen in astonishment as windows keep popping in and out, different apps and programs are being installed in quick succession, he can also see Eve optimizing everything.. a few minutes later everything is ready.
Well, actually he didn't need to do anything. Everything is automated.. three different screens displayed different things like Graft and stats, on the other he can see stocks being traded and on the last, he can see his history of transaction and the current balance of 1.3 million credit.. in just a few days Eve has earned more than a million credits.
How insane is that.. he has more than 200 million in cash in his storage ring but that's like dirty money. He can't just use it whenever he wants.. he can also see that Eve upgraded his account into a business account. It used to be an open savings account.
But in just a few days his 20000 credit has turned into a million.
He really didn't expect it to be like that.. he was speechless.. he stood there watching the automated trading that Eve setup like an idiot.. he stayed like that for over 30 minutes.
Ding! hmm.. he woke up from his stupor.. and saw a message from Anne.
"Big bro, we're on our way home... "
He looks at the time it's 6 pm. right! it's time to prepare dinner. I'll take a quick shower first.
âââââââ
And just like that 10 days has passed...
For the past 10 days, Mia was so busy coordinating and managing the construction of the warehouse for Arc. The construction business has come a long way since 500 years ago, work that needs a few months can be completed in a few days, industrial grade 3d printer has advanced to the point that every industry uses it for producing items, from clothing to making battleships 3d printings application are endless
Mia meticulously supervised the printing of materials to be used on the warehouse project. She doesn't want any mistakes to happen, for some reason she doesn't want Arc to be disappointed in her and at the same time, she wants to impress Arc as she had a feeling that the Warehouse project is just the beginning.
Over the past 10 Days, Diana and Tiffa tirelessly completed many things, 5 days ago the first transaction of Grand Trading Corp was made and it never stopped till then.
Only Arc has found himself nothing to do for the last 10 days with the arrival of Dianna and Tiffa, he found that there's nothing for him to do except for occasionally signing some documents, he has lots of free time so he finds some gym and starts training.
Arc just woke up, he was excited because today the warehouse will finally be completed 5 days ago Grand Trading Corp made its first transaction with Hunters and it hasn't stopped till now.. over the past 5 days, Grand Trading Corp was able to accumulate quite a huge amount of materials from the Hunter's, they rented a temporary warehouse to store it...
Grand Trading has managed to hire 5 hunter groups with the help of Barry, Bart, and Jenna who become Grand Trading representatives in supervising the contracted hunter groups everything's going smoothly.
Arc took a shower ate some breakfast and went outside, outside he can see a black SUV waiting for him, on the driver seat he saw Biggs, next to him is Tiffa, "good morning boss" greeted Tiffa,
Biggs didn't say anything and just started driving, today is the official handover of the warehouse that's been on construction for the last 10 days,
Tiffa doesn't need to inform him of anything since Eve does that in real-time.
"Boss, the owner of Diamond Builders will be waiting for you at the warehouse. She insisted that she will be the one to hand over the keys to the warehouse to you, hehe I think she likes you, Boss."
"You're thinking too much Tiffa, she's just being professional about the work, nothing more.."
"No, I think she likes you, boss, she keeps on asking about you whenever I go there to check the construction.. believe me boss it's a woman's intuition."
"Woman's intuition huh.. what do you think Biggs is that reliable?"
"Eh ahh, I'm not sure boss, I'm not a woman."
"hahaha, I didn't know you had a sense of humor Biggs, laughed Arc.."
"Haha our boss is so handsome, it's not weird for Miss Mia to be attracted to you boss."
"haha is that so," said Arc feeling good inside.
Who doesn't want to be complimented and to be honest he did become handsome in the past 10 days, his facial features have become sharp, even his sisters keep harassing him for his beauty secret.
They joked around for about 15mins and soon enough they arrived at their destination.
"Boss we're here," said Tiffa
"Right, let's go," said Arc
He stepped outside the car and saw the warehouse gate. Honestly, it's his first time here, even when he purchased it he has never been here in person. Eve showed him some pictures and videos but it's different when you see it in person.
He saw that at the huge gate Mia and probably her subordinates are with her, Diana was there as well she's talking to Mia and Wedge was behind her still looking menacing, they stopped talking when they saw Arc getting off the SUV they stopped talking and look at Arc.
Arc walk towards them with a smile on his face,
"Good morning guys!"
"Miss Mia Good morning it's been a while. how are you?" said Arc with a smile on his face.
He nodded and greeted Diana who greeted him as well, "Arc I told you to stop being formal." greeted Mia,
"Right, right sorry bout that Mia I can see that you made a wonderful job thank you,"
Mia smiles and nodded she too was proud of what she accomplished in just 10 days.
Mia handed him the key he took it, and walk in front of the black door with the words GRAND TRADING etched in gold front of the gate, he opens the door and he was greeted with a wide road, wide enough for 6 trucks to go side by side and on each side of the street six warehouse door that can easily fit any huge trucks three warehouse on each side of the road with black roof and silver walls it looks good.
"Perfect he said.."
When he said it a huge smile was seen on Mia's face.
He walked on one of the warehouses the crowd was following him from behind on his right was Mia explaining things to him on his left was Diana and Tiffa and behind him was Biggs and Wedge.. when He was with them their priority changed from protecting Diana and Tiffa to protecting him.
It took 2 to 3 hours for the ceremony to be completed. A small party was arranged with food and drinks on the table, everyone who worked at the construction was invited, he chatted with Mia the whole time.. and promised her that Grand Trading Corps future construction projects will be handed to her first.
After the party Arc, Diana, and Tiffa on the side was Biggs and Wedge, they are in the back of the warehouse this is the secured building that only authorized person can enter, the security here is no joke,
Eve ordered the most secured and advanced technology available, it's all military-grade Arc have no idea how and where Eve manages to get it from he didn't care anyway. It was then upgraded by Biggs and Wedge with Eve's instructions.
The reason for this is because the energy factory from the system will be placed here.
Arc didn't waste time. He first chooses the 2 lowest energy factories worth 45en he clicks build. Suddenly 2 black Rubix cubes appeared in front of him just like the first time he built the paper currency factory.
2 black Rubix cube-like things keep turning and rolling, after a few seconds, 2 huge cylinder-like object appears before him. It's jet black in color with a diameter of 5 meters and 15 meters tall with 3 golden rings moving up and down its cylindrical body.
"it's bigger than I thought.."
With that his energy reserved is 103 he originally had 185en 10days ago, and after 10 days he got an additional 5 for his ring and 3 more for the system. adding to 193, minus 90 for both energy factories. leaving him with 103en.
"Yosh with this my energy gain is 38en every 10 days. it's a good start.."
Next, they moved to another secured building, this is going to be the heart of Grand Trading Corp.
