BXBX NOVEL Chapter 214 You Bastard!
[You\'ve received 10% shares of Kalmond Entertainment Company. Multiplier Applied. You receive 90% shares of Kalmond Entertainment Company.]
[You receive 88% shares of The Rose Entertainment Company.]
Seeing the two system prompts that had appeared before his eyes, Jack was completely ecstatic. He had been expecting that there was a chance that the shares that he had received would not be multiplied.
But, the surprise that he had received was bigger than he had expected. Not only had the shares been multiplied, but he had also been given something that he had never expected before.
Instead of owning 10% shares of Kalmond Entertainment Company, he now owned 100% shares of it. In other words, the company was now fully under his control.
Then, the part that excited him the most was the fact that he had received 88% shares of The Rose Entertainment Company.
The Rose was a company that was bigger than Kalmond. And so, it was obvious that the 88% shares that he had received had a greater value than the 90% shares that came from Kalmond.
But, what made Jack\'s expression weird was the fact that he had only received 88% shares of The Rose. He was wondering why he had not acquired all of it.
But on the second note, could it be that the 12% shares that were not in his hands were the ones that Celine was having? If that was so, then Jack could say that the system was very considerate. But still, he would have to ask Celine about it to confirm.
But, there was another thing that Jack wasn\'t understanding at all. He had received 10% shares from Johnathan. These 10% shares were worth $7B. That meant that, if the multiplier effect were to take place, he was supposed to get something that was worth $700B.
eαglesnᴏνel But, no matter how he looked at it, the shares that he had received, even if he added the shares of the two companies that were in his hands, they would not be able to reach $200B, let alone $700B.
So, where was the rest of the over $500B worth of shares that he was supposed to receive?!
As if reading his mind, another system prompt appeared in front of his eyes followed by Angel\'s voice.
[The 10% shares that you received were not only something that you got due to coercion, but also because you never worked for it. So, the multiplier effect wasn\'t at 100 times.]
[Just like the income that you received from betting, there is a limit to the number of times the multiplier effect would take place when you receive money or any other income from the others as presents and so on. The current number of times remaining is 5.]
Jack was left speechless. What did the system mean by saying that he didn\'t work for it? He had literally made Anita forget about asking Johnathan about where he had been during the one year that he had disappeared.
So, that was considered as work. As coercion, that was something that he didn\'t do, right? He had only asked for payment so that he could work for him.
And although he only introduced himself, he had made sure that Anita didn\'t focus on where Johnathan was during that one year. In other words, he didn\'t use the normal means to complete the work that he had been asked to complete.
And what the heck was this limit thing again? Why was the system always looking for ways to make sure that he won\'t make a quick buck? Now, this was getting onto his nerves.
Johnathan who was watching Jack from the side was stunned when he saw that Jack was simply looking in front of him, without saying or doing anything.
It was like he was in a daze. Johnathan then saw a smile appearing on Jack\'s face, what followed next was that he frowned. And from the way that his face was turning ugly, Johnathan was stunned further. He was wondering if Jack had gone insane or something like that.
He waved his hand in front of Jack\'s face. But, the moment that his hand appeared in front of Jack\'s face, Jack who was just in a daze regained his focus and grabbed the hand that was in front of him.
The force that Jack had applied made Johnathan flinch in pain. "Let go will you? You were acting like a lunatic or something, changing your expression from being happy to being angry."
Hearing Johnathan\'s words, Jack finally realized that perhaps he had lost himself to the system prompts. It seemed that he had to learn to control his expression in front of other people.
With a slight cough, he released Johnathan\'s hand. Then, he looked at Johnathan and began smiling.
This action surprised Johnathan. "What are you smiling about? Have you become a fool after signing the document and gaining control of 10% shares?" Johnathan asked.
"Wait for it, I\'m sure that you will know about it soon." Jack continued smiling as he replied.
Johnathan got even more confused about what Jack was talking about. In the end, he shook his head and decided to leave Jack alone.
Just as he turned around, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it. It was the secretary of the board of directors of Kalmond. He wondered what was going on.
According to what he could remember, he had already informed them that he would be transferring 10% shares from his 20% shares to another person. So, he wasn\'t sure why the secretary was calling in the first place.
But all the same, he picked up the call. "Hey Halton, what is it?" He asked.
"Hello Mr. Johnathan, I wanted to inform you that all the procedures for the transfer of shares have been completed and the money has been transferred into your account." Halton stated.
"Oh, that\'s okay." Johnathan nodded his head. He had just had Jack signing the transfer contract. So, it wasn\'t surprising that the company would have already done that in the database.
But on the second note, Johnathan frowned. He asked, "What money are you talking about? I said I was going to transfer my shares to someone else. So, where is this money thing that you are talking about?"
"Oh, I wasn\'t talking about the 10% shares that you had decided to transfer. I\'m talking about the remaining 10% shares that were in your hands. These are the shares that I was telling you that we have already completed the transfer. As for the money, it has already been transferred to your account." Halton explained.
Johnathan\'s expression turned weird. "Halton, I\'m failing to understand what you are trying to imply here. I\'m supposed to give away 10% shares. Then, I\'m supposed to remain with 10% shares. So, what the hell is this about me selling my shares?"
"Oh, didn\'t you say that you were going to sell all the shares in your hands? Every other member of the board that had shares of the company has also sold the shares that are in their hands." Halton stated. But this time, he too was confused by the way that Johnathan was reacting.
Johnathan on the other hand was fuming. He was working hard so that he could get more shares. Since when did he even decide that he wanted to sell the shares that he owned?
Now, he was being told that he had agreed to that? This was completely illogical. Could it be that the other members of the board agreed to that and thought that he had also agreed?
But then, where on earth did they get his signature? After all, there was no way that the transfer would be completed if he did not sign the transfer contract.
"When did we agree on selling the shares? I think I have forgotten about that. I have been having a lot on my mind recently." Johnathan asked. He knew that if he continued saying that he didn\'t agree to this, the other party might think of him as a lunatic.
Halton finally understood why Johnathan had forgotten about this. So, he replied. "I understand Mr. Johnathan. You rich people have so many shares that you even forget about others that you own. So, I understand."
\'Understand your head! When did I have so many shares? I only have a few of them and I\'m absolutely not willing to sell them! Forget about them? I always think about them every time that I can!\' Johnathan yelled in his mind.
"It was yesterday that you signed the documents that stated that you agreed to sell your shares." Halton reminded.
It was then that Johnathan remembered that the previous day, he had been indeed in a meeting with the other share holders. At that time, he didn\'t pay much attention to what they were talking about.
In the end of the meeting, they passed around a document that each and every of the shareholder signed. He followed the flow and signed the document but he had never read the contents of the document.
Johnathan\'s eyes widened in disbelief as he recalled that. Now, he didn\'t know what to say about this. He was never forced to sign it, he was never stopped from reading the document and he was never told not to listen to what the others were saying.
Now, even if he wanted to complain, to whom was he going to complain to? He wasn\'t coerced or something. He did it according to his own will.
In the end, he could only shake his head as he let out a sigh of frustration. He then thought of something and asked, "By the way, who is the one that is buying the shares?"
He wanted to know this so that perhaps, he could convince the other party to sell him the shares. Perhaps he can even buy more shares from the other party.
"Eh, the one that bought the shares should be Mr. Jackson…yeah, Mr. Jackson, that\'s it." Halton replied.
"Mr. Jackson?" As Johnathan said that name, he turned around and looked at Jack who was still having a smile on his face. At that moment, Johnathan understood who this Jackson was.
Although there was no surname of the person that had bought the shares, the way that Jack was smiling at him was enough to tell him that Jack was the Jackson that they were talking about.
"You bastard!" Johnathan shouted loudly.
