Chapter 527 Trouble Comes Knocking
Midnight, 12 o'clock.
The Witness building was brightly lit!
Everyone was working overtime like crazy!
Meanwhile, across the street in the Twin App building.
The pace was relatively slower.
Alvin held a cup of coffee, sighing as he looked at the Witness building across the way.
Witness had been busy for seven or eight days!
Elbert must have stirred up some trouble!
Looks like Witness is about to take off!
As for Creator and Twin App.
That guy insisted on announcing to the world that they'd pause expansion and wait until a year later!
"Sigh..."
Alvin took a sip of coffee and said to Walter, who had recently been promoted to Group Technical Director, "Walter, these past few months have been so boring for me."
Walter was stunned. "Mr. Weaver, you're the CEO of Creator. Watch your words."
Alvin frowned. "My words? Did I say something wrong?"
Then.
Alvin sat on the sofa with his coffee. "Tell me, these past three months, all I do every day is sign papers! There's nothing else to do!"
Walter chuckled. "Mr. Weaver, if those reports were given to other company bosses to sign, they'd be thrilled to death!"
"Yeah..."
Alvin sighed toward the ceiling. "I'm happy to see those reports too - basically all user growth 8%, user growth 9.3%, revenue growth 10%, Twin App livestream online users breaking 600 million."
"I've signed so many that I'm numb to it. There's no challenge!"
Walter looked helpless. "Mr. Weaver, I strongly condemn this behavior of yours. You're totally just showing off!"
After a moment, Walter also sighed. "But honestly, I'm bored out of my mind too."
Just then.
A commotion suddenly came from outside the office!
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
"Sir, please stop. That's our CEO's office. You can't enter without an appointment!"
"Move aside!"
Then came a girl's startled cry!
The next moment!
A Victoria man wearing a trench coat with a big beard, along with several attendants, walked into Alvin's office!
Behind them was the female secretary from Twin App with a terrified expression!
Alvin frowned and looked at the visitors!
After entering the office, the man in the trench coat brazenly sat down across from Alvin!
Beside him, an attendant placed a business card on the coffee table and pushed it toward Alvin!
At this moment.
Twin App's security personnel also rushed up, surrounding the office. The security director, a B3 cyborg, walked into the room with a grim expression!
But Alvin raised his hand slightly, and the security director immediately stopped.
Alvin slowly picked up the golden business card from the table.
The moment Alvin held the card, he knew it was made of pure gold!
Exquisite hollow carvings, with only one line in the center: Rothschild Family—Fero!
Alvin no longer had the playful demeanor he'd shown with Walter earlier.
His face was stern as he smiled coldly. "So it's the famous Rothschild Family? What brings you to my Twin App?"
Fero across from him gently twisted the gold ring on his finger and said calmly, "To acquire your company, including Twin App and Witness across the street."
"Haha."
Alvin found it ridiculous inside, a thousand curses condensed into two words: "Not selling."
"Haha."
Fero also smiled slightly. "Our family taking interest in your Veridiania Twin App is an honor for you. Of the world's top 10 internet companies, our family already holds stakes in 8!"
He continued twisting the gold ring on his finger. "We only want 51% of your Creator shares. If you don't sell, our family will unite with 8 major international internet companies to enter Veridiania, develop similar products, and crush your Twin App."
"By then, the shares in your hands might very well become zero."
Alvin tried hard to maintain his composure, a thousand curses once again condensing into two words: "Bullshit."
Fero shook his head slightly. "Actually, every CEO I've met has been as difficult as you, but in the end, they all agreed with smiles."
As Fero spoke, he picked up a metal ornament and gently squeezed it in his hand.
Creak, creak.
A harsh grinding sound came as the metal ornament was forcefully compressed and crushed into a ball of scrap metal!
Alvin smiled dismissively.
A cyborg?
"I thought your historic Rothschild Family had deep roots and were all gentlemen. Don't tell me you're all bullies like this?"
"Putting on a show of forced acquisition for me? You think I, Alvin, am timid? Think Twin App is some roadside stall? Did you walk onto the wrong set?"
Alvin's presence surged, fearless!
Fero chuckled again. "Since you know my family has a long history, you should know that my family was a ghost during wartime, the behind-the-scenes force in establishing many nations, the king of capital during economic prosperity!"
"And you, Alvin, I've checked - you have parents and a sister!"
Fero threw the crushed ornament into the trash. "Strangely enough, it's exactly these crude methods of mine, combined with the family's massive capital, that have successfully acquired one major enterprise after another!"
Then.
Fero stood up. "I'll give you one month. You and your team better prepare a detailed price list for me."
"Otherwise."
Fero turned back with a cold smile. "Next time we meet, our conversation won't be this pleasant!"
Watching their backs.
Alvin frowned slightly.
"Mr. Weaver, he just threatened you!"
Walter came over. "Rothschild! They're no ordinary family. I heard this family controls ancient wealth, dealt in weapons during wartime, and has connections with international underground forces!"
"I'm afraid of him?"
Alvin smiled calmly. "I've dealt with hundreds of consortiums wanting to acquire our Twin App. This is just a bigger family!"
"I want to see what tricks he can pull. I've been bored lately anyway!"
