Chapter 489 Crazy Man
"You jerk!"
"You still think you can push me around?"
"You think I’m gonna put up with you here?"
"Bodyguards!"
"Get him..."
Finnegan exploded, cursing and pointing furiously at Elbert!
But Elbert's eyes turned icy.
In a heartbeat, he grabbed Finnegan's finger!
With a swift move, Elbert hurled Finnegan into the air!
Finnegan crashed through the glass behind him, screaming as he plummeted out the window!
All of this happened in just two seconds!
Elowen was completely stunned. "Mr. Perry, this is the 60th floor!"
A loud thud echoed from outside the window, followed by panicked screams!
"Mr. Perry, he's not just some regular guy!"
Elowen was frantic, quickly getting up and rushing to the broken window to look down!
What she saw left her speechless!
Two floors below, there was a suspended platform with two workers cleaning the building's exterior!
And Finnegan had landed right on it!
His forehead was swollen, likely from hitting his head, but he was otherwise unharmed. He was now curled up in a corner, shivering in fear!
Elowen, still shaken, turned back to Elbert. "Mr. Perry! If it weren't for that platform, you'd have a death on your hands!"
Elbert took a sip of his tea. "That would have been too easy for him."
"What?"
Elowen looked at Elbert's calm expression, feeling as if he had planned everything in advance!
Then she shook her head, thinking it was just an illusion.
It didn't seem realistic.
He only had one eye; he couldn't have seen all that!
Crash.
Two of Finnegan's bodyguards burst through the door, stunned by the scene!
Elowen gave them a peculiar look. "Your boss is on the 58th floor..."
The bodyguards ran out in a panic.
"This is insane!"
Elowen's chest heaved as she sat down in front of Elbert.
Elbert grinned. "Elowen, I'm here to discuss expanding our smart stores. You'll need to prepare some funds."
Elowen calmed herself. "Mr. Perry, you're finally getting down to business. How many new stores are we talking about?"
Elbert thought for a moment. "Twenty-three in three months."
Elowen was taken aback. "That's not many."
Elbert added a word. "States."
Elowen's hand shook, spilling her coffee all over the table!
"Mr. Perry, did I hear you right?"
"In three months, you want to open smart stores across all of Veridiania?"
Elowen's blue eyes stared intently at Elbert.
Elbert nodded seriously. "Time is tight. Building new stores from scratch won't be feasible. We'll opt for acquisitions—existing chain hotels, coffee shops, restaurants, bookstores—buy as many as we can!"
Elowen pursed her lips, her mouth twitching. "Mr. Perry, are you saying we should buy everything we see?"
Elbert replied, "To save time on renovations, the acquisitions need to be swift."Elowen was stunned. "You mean no negotiating on prices?"
Elbert thought for a moment. "Veridiania has an average of 29 cities per state."
"Each city needs 300 stores to make an impact."
"That's 20,000 stores."
"Witness can deploy 100 agents."
"With a 12-hour workday, that gives us 21.6 minutes per store."
Elbert mused, "So, haggling over prices isn't practical."
660 cities!
20,000 stores!
In two months!
To make an impact.
And only 21.6 minutes per store?
Elowen was overwhelmed by the numbers!
"Mr. Perry, isn't this plan a bit rushed?"
Elowen's eyes sparkled as she looked at Elbert, who was leisurely sipping his tea.
She suddenly realized something!
This man was incredibly dull, with no sense of 'fun' in life!
Was he just messing with her?
Elowen smiled. "Mr. Perry, I think your plan is a bit slow."
"Hmm."
"Indeed, it's slow!"
Elbert nodded to himself. "Back when I launched the Gemini app, we hit 900 million users in 14 days!"
"Compared to that, this is indeed slow!"
Elowen was shocked!
He didn't seem to be joking!
Elowen probed further. "Mr. Perry, this time you're dealing with physical stores, not the internet!"
Elbert's eyes gleamed. "Of course, it's different! This time, we're using technology to change the entire era!"
"Like the birth of fire, the industrial revolution, the advent of the internet!"
"This time, humanity will enter the age of smart living!"
"Pioneer Company will lead the way, creating an insurmountable fortress!"
Elowen was stunned by Elbert's powerful words.
Elbert's grand vision was to quickly build scale!
If this plan succeeded, it wouldn't just be a business!
It would be an unshakable commercial empire!
At that moment.
Cursing was heard from outside the window!
Finnegan had been rescued by his bodyguards and was shakily standing up!
"Elbert!"
"Just you wait!"
"I'm going to contact people right now and steal all your business, bankrupting you!"
Elbert completely ignored the fool.
"Elowen, you see, there will always be people trying to steal my ideas."
"So, this plan is still too slow."
"After all, Veridiania is just one country in the world; we have a lot of work to do."
Elbert's eyes sparkled. "We need to become giants, and at the fastest speed, so that even if our opponents want to take us down, they can't even reach our feet!"
"This... is insane!"
Elowen's eyes widened, her hair standing on end!
She never expected that behind Elbert's casual words was such a grand vision!
Creating a new era!
Becoming the dominant force!
This audacious plan must have been in the works for a long time!
Elowen felt a bit dazed.
They say crazy men are attractive!
And Elbert, his charm was overwhelming!
