Chapter 362: Acquisition (Subscription Requested)


    “Su Lu Pottery?”


    Orchi savored the name as if he wished to bite it to death.


    “He…I’m going to report him, he is a shameless thief, he once stole confidential information from Green Tree Castle…”


    A gleam in his eyes, he began to shout.


    However, the only response he received were confused looks mixed with sympathy, as if looking at a fool.


    “I’m sorry…”


    The host shed a bright white smile, revealing all eight of his teeth: “I am the spokesperson for Green Tree Castle in White Eagle City. I am here to confirm that Mr. Su Lu Pottery is an exceptional scientist and has notmitted any harmful acts against Green Tree Castle. On the contrary, it is you, Mr. Orchi Francis, who has been insulting a researcher’s reputation, and your countless inappropriate actions have led the joint council of Green Tree Castle to revoke your researcher’s status…”


    “What…?”


    Orchi was nearly stupefied.


    He could not understand how things had turned out this way.


    Why would Green Tree Castle bow down to a thief?


    By now, it was without a doubt that all the testimonies were against him. If this were a court trial, he would have already been sentenced to defeat.


    “No… no… why did this happen?”


    With a deep sigh, Orchi struggled to his feet, met with the scornful, ridiculing gazes of those around him.


    Just a moment ago, these people were fawning over him, trying their best to tter.


    Everything had changed too swiftly.


    “Just you wait, I will never admit defeat…my family won’t stand by and let the Telegraph Company go bankrupt!”


    Lifting to his feet, his gaze hardened, restoring a bit of calm as he turned to leave.


    He was preparing to contact his family as soon as possible, to gain their support to counterattack the newly established Wireless Telegraph Company.


    With the wealth and Transcendent Power belonging to the Francis Group, this was feasible if they were willing to pay a significant price.


    Even though, as the one who screwed everything up, his oue would bementable, it was still better than dying.


    “Su Lu… I won’t let you have it easy…”


    With bloodshot eyes, Orchi rushed into the stock exchange hall and found a telegraph machine.


    This was all set up for his ‘performance’ today, he specially pulled a telegraph cable line here.


    Dah-dah! Dah-dah!


    He quickly got in touch with his family and anxiously waited for a reply.


    The family’s response came swiftly. A batch of ‘Pottery Ciphers’ were printed out, and Orchi pushed aside the telephone operator. He understood the cipher and didn’t need it tranted.


    But in the next moment, his pupils constricted.


    “Boss?”


    Andrew, the telephone operator, and everyone around were met with the sight of the spark disappearing from Orchi’s eyes, leaving them resembling those of a walking corpse.


    ‘The family… has abandoned me?’


    ‘Why? It’s just a start-up telegraphpany…’


    Orchi’s mind was in disarray, already knowing that it was over.


    There was no doubt he would be bankrupt and tied down by ominous debts.


    The family would not shield him, this was the price he paid when he was ced openly in power.


    Honor was his, but responsibility followed close behind!


    ‘It seems this battle was won by Su Lu and Professor William? What should I do? Continue to go to Spa Tutor? Or…’


    This tragedy took ce so suddenly, that Andrew’s head was still in a daze.


    After a long while, he left the stock exchange and gazed towards the roadshow at the Emperor’s Building, letting out a sigh.


    Suddenly, Andrew’s pupils constricted as he saw a figure leap from the top of the Emperor’s Building…


    Green Tree Castle City.


    The Inner Circle.


    Su Lu was reading a book in the White Tower, casually gaining some experience in the process.


    Sleydon Watt’s figure slowly approached from downstairs: “Sir, we have thetest results from White Eagle City…”


    To deal with an Orchi, Su Lu himself going would practically be a loss. He only submitted a research paper and apany n, then enlisted Green Tree Castle to host a press conference, and just waited for the results here.


    “Oh? What’s the result?”


    “Our press conference was very sessful… because it was judged that the stock price of the Telegraph Company would plunge, the stock exchange urgently halted its listing n…”


    Sleydon paused, then continued: “Also… Orchi jumped off a building, confirmed dead on the spot! Andrew will be expelled… and Spa will be reassigned.”


    Su Lu didn’t stop flipping the pages of his book: “Jumped off a building? It seems that after his family also abandoned him, he truly fell into despair?”


    He didn’t make a move directly, nor did he visit the Fifth Level Professional of the Francis Group, he just let Dunstan issue a warning.


    In terms of strength, Green Tree Castle’s Inner Circle was still above the Francis Group!


    And besides, it was not a matter of toppling the table, it was merely that they agreed to not make a move and allow the twopanies topete.


    It was almostical.


    If an unheard-of individual revealed the technology of the wireless telegraph now, the oue awaiting him would likely involve being killed on the side of the road, his body incinerated and poured into the cement forming the foundation of a building!


    Only when a power of equal or near equales out to offer support, can there be ‘fairness’ in thepetition under the same rules!


    While Green Tree Castle was still ying by the rules, the Francis Group couldn’t topple the table.


    Otherwise, in the end, they would suffer the most loss.


    Therefore, abandoning Orchi and mitigating the losses while they can is the only option.


    He was inplete bankruptcy, drowned in massive debts and his only hope also abandoned him, it was normal for Orchi to be engulfed by despair and seek death.


    Given his professional level and abilities, if he willingly jumps off from the Emperor’s Building without any defense, the oue is clear.


    “The Telegraph Company is in a bad state, I heard they have already started to receive debt collection notices, there’s a high probability that they will dere bankruptcy… and the emerging Wireless Telegraph Company has already been established, what are you nning to do next sir?”


    Sleydon asked another question.


    “Acquisition!”


    Su Lu gestured: “Use the stock shares of the Wireless Telegraph Company as coteral to loan from the bank, then acquire the Telegraph Company whose value has plummeted to the price of cabbage.”


    “What?”


    Sleydon looked up, his azure eyes filled with surprise.


    “I only have a problem with Orchi, not the Francis Group. Since they have extended an olive branch, we should ept it, shouldn’t we?”


    Su Lu counter-questioned: “And also… the Telegraph Company still has some value.”


    This world was different after all, harboring vast dangerous territories.


    Electromaic waves from wireless telegraphs may not pose many problems in the skies of Federation, but what if it crosses oceans, or even the Dark Continent?


    Su Lu knew that there were several exceptionallyrge thunderstorm maic fields in the sea.


    Other than that, there was the factor of confidentiality!


    In terms of confidentiality, telegraphs had an advantage over wireless telegraphs.


    Therefore, at the current moment when the value of the Telegraph Company had drastically dropped, buying it up would prove profitable in the future.


    “Alright.” Even though he didn’t know Su Lu’s real thoughts, Sleydon still nodded, indicating that he had memorized it.


    “These matters can be handled by professional managers. You guys also have shares, just help me keep an eye on it.”


    Su Lu shrugged. In this matter, he was more than happy to be a hands-off boss. After all, with his power, he needn’t be afraid of being cheated by ordinary people. Otherwise, a single curse would be enough to end their bloodline.
