Chapter 113 Declare war on Meta Platforms Company
You don't need to worry!" a classmate suddenly whispered. "This is a huge opportunity for the Creator!"
Everyone turned to look at him.
The classmate chuckled. "Alvin and Elbert's startup has already succeeded! As long as they accept Meta Platforms Company's acquisition, they'll get a huge payout. The company will merge into the Meta Platforms Company system, receiving support and soaring to new heights!"
'So that's how it is!' Everyone suddenly understood.
Another classmate added. "Who are Elbert and Alvin? They're extremely smart! Naturally, they wouldn't go against Meta Platforms Company! They'll definitely sell the company and then enjoy life with the money!"
Everyone sighed. "They are so young and already financially free!"
Then, they looked back at the open field in the distance. They saw Elbert standing firm, smiling as he asked, "Mr. Russell, what happened to those countless companies you mentioned before?"
Jacob, with his hands behind his back, said, "They went bankrupt!"
"Well, it won't happen to us." Elbert's expression flickered.
Jacob frowned and thought, 'They declared war on my Meta Platforms Company?'
Elbert sighed slightly. "Meta Platforms Company is indeed incredibly strong! A giant that has been unshakable for many years, but that was in the past! Even dynasties rise and fall, let alone a company! Today, I officially declare war on your Meta Platforms Company on behalf of Creator!"
After these words, a commotion broke out.
"Did I hear that right? Elbert declared war on Meta Platforms Company?"
"Isn't he a bit too arrogant? Fighting them won't end well."
"Yes, the Creator company might end up completely destroyed!"
The classmates were instantly in disbelief! They even doubted their ears!
Even Alvin trembled in fear. Alvin stared blankly at Elbert, but only for a few seconds. Then, his gaze was filled with passion and extreme trust in the figure in front of him! Alvin was not someone who would willingly admit defeat! Since Elbert had decided, Alvin would follow him to the end!
Jacob was also suddenly stunned!
'This kid has guts!' thought he.
Then, his expression softened, and he smiled. "Elbert, you might be misunderstanding. I'm not here to pressure you or to persuade you to surrender!"
"I know that, of course!" Elbert also smiled faintly. "To deal with a small company like ours, you don't need to take action personally! With your esteemed position, you're just here to watch the show. Moreover, you never saw me as a threat! I'm not targeting you today."
Elbert proudly continued. "To be honest, since the creation of Creator, we have regarded Meta Platforms Company as our opponent! This battle is inevitable!"
"Very good! Just for that belief, you are already outstanding! Then I'll enjoy watching this drama!" Jacob glanced at Cassius in the helicopter.
Cassius finally steeled his resolve and jumped out of the helicopter!
Jacob shook his head. "Elbert, I advise you not to underestimate my subordinates. They are young and aggressive, unlike me, who is more amicable! If you confront them, you will be crushed!"
Elbert coldly smiled. "A bunch of cowards, I don't think much of them!"
Jacob frowned, looking at the panting Cassius, who had run over.
Elbert continued, "Mr. Russell, why don't we make a bet?"
"What bet?" Jacob looked at Elbert with great interest.
"Since the war between us is inevitable. Let's bet on the outcome of the war!" Elbert said playfully. "If your Meta Platforms Company admits defeat, please register an account on my Gemini app platform and publicly admit defeat! As for me, if I lose—"
"Enough!" Jacob interrupted Elbert with an arrogant smile.
"It's okay for young people to be arrogant, but you don't have to pay for every instance of arrogance! Your failure is inevitable, but I won't let you bear any consequences! If the Creator fails, you can come to my company and work for me!"
Elbert hesitated for just a moment.
'He indeed has high-level tactics! Coming personally was clearly to apply pressure! But he did it without leaving any traces, leaving all the confrontation to his subordinates while maintaining a senior stance!' he thought.
'After defeating Creator, he wants to take me under his wing! Unfortunately, he is a bit overconfident!'
After thinking for a while, Elbert started to speak.
"Thank you, Mr. Russell, for thinking highly of me, but the day you hope for will never come!" Elbert said seriously. "If I lose, I will hand over the core code of the app!"
"Very well!" Jacob finished speaking, swung his sleeve, and turned towards the helicopter.
He tacitly agreed to the declaration of war! Since peace talks were not possible, a heavy blow must be dealt first! In his mind, the result would be the same: The Creator would inevitably submit!
At this moment, Cassius had already arrived. First, he looked confused, then glared at Elbert, and said, "Are you the person behind Creator? Did you declare war on our Mr. Russell?"
Elbert nodded slightly.
"You are truly arrogant and overconfident! Defying Mr. Russell, you won't have good days ahead!" Cassius said, looking anxiously at Jacob, who had already reached the helicopter.
Jacob remained calm and composed. With one step, he crossed the vast gap and boarded the helicopter! Cassius hadn't even caught his breath and quickly ran back! But he looked at the one-meter distance for a long time, not daring to step forward!
The plane roared to life and took off! Leaving behind a resentful Cassius!
At this moment, Benjamin and Cynthia also approached Elbert.
Benjamin was furious! His finger tremblingly pointed at Elbert. "You are actually the founder of Creator. Are you deliberately making a fool of me?"
Elbert sneered. "I told you we won't sell our company!"
"You!" Benjamin was speechless! In an instant, he angrily said, "You even dare to declare war on my group! Your arrogance will be your downfall!"
Cynthia frowned and shook her head. "Elbert, you are actually the boss behind Creator, and you have some skills! I originally thought highly of you and wanted to match you with Emily again! Now it seems you're digging your own grave! You just achieved some success and already lost yourself! Emily was right to stay away from you, and you are too arrogant! With your little assets declaring war on Meta Platforms Company, wait to lose everything!" she said with a furious expression, staring at Elbert.
Cassius gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, you're doomed; your company is finished! I will make sure you go bankrupt within a month! We will go back now to study countermeasures!"
Elbert shrugged and smiled, "The stairs are over there; go ahead!"
