THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 126's. My World 8's
Three months later, all the investment funds have come in. With the investment brought by colleague Artur Jovovich, the combined valuation of my company in the USA should even exceed the combined value of the Sergie company in Western Europe.
I don't know if I feel right, the year-end report hasn't come out, it's only early in the year, maybe it's only known by mid-February, which is clear before Malesnitsa, all companies have completed their annual reports.
"You got an investor from Artur Jovovich?" I gave Dad a surprise when he got a report of a large valuation increase from Uncle overseeing the company outside Russia, he immediately called me after the report got to his hands.
"Yes." Yeah."
"How?"
"He's paying me to shut up for what happened to Sergie's cousin."
"Pay you to shut up?" I told him what he was doing because I was getting close to his political opponent. Now he doesn't have to worry about me leaking his "sins".
I don't want you to laugh.
"You're good at taking advantage of situations."
"He didn't tell you."
"No, maybe he did want to keep your mouth shut. That's both of you're business."
I was thinking how Sergie felt knowing that I could beat him because of his Uncle who gave me money.
And finally this February we and the family got together again. Sergie still thinks he's winning from me of course, this time he's taking his girlfriend like I took Monica last year.
"Ohh Candice, Monica and I are getting married this spring in Montreal if you have time to come. Monica will call you personally to invite you." I invited him personally, inviting Candice also means inviting Sergie.
"really? Spring, it's not it?"
"Next month actually, we're gonna have a baby in late summer."
"Good God, you're gonna have a baby, congratulations. You must be looking forward to it."
"Do you know her gender?" Now that Margarita's in talks she's supportive now, it's like she doesn't want to get into trouble anymore. He congratulated me before.
"No, I think next month will be known."
"Congratulations to you." This time it was Sergie who congratulated. Everyone's trying to be nice at dinner tonight.
"Thank you."
Everyone is being nice tonight but tomorrow is a family meeting. Determining who will win the majority of your shares in the future.
"I won't envy you. I have the most generous investor in the world." Sergie talked to me a little bit as we finished dinner.
"I see, you do have the kindest investor. That's good luck to you."
"And if noticed I manage a much larger group of companies than you. So I won't envy you even if you win this game." He was also right last year before I merged and got a very generous investor from Artur Jovovich, the value of his valuation is still greater almost half of that of mine.
"Hmm.yeah you're right." I do not argue for anyhow three years ago the valuation of the US group of companies was only 17%, but this year I can't wait to see the last report of the figures of my hard work.
"You don't seem to be bothered with that, why? You have no problem holding the smallest value continuously, or are you more interested in family life now? Wants to live peacefully." He's still trying to heat me up even though he knows I must have won my shareholding bet.
"You're right, a little bit of my focus has changed, but about the smallest. Maybe not even." Sergie looked at me immediately with a curious expression.
"You're not the smallest? You kidding? You know how much I'm going up."
"Yes I know." I put on a confident expression with my words making Sergie wonder now.
"Your wife injects capital too?" I laughed immediately.
"My wife isn't as rich as your wife, she doesn't have so much idle money on her hands even though she has an amazing family background."
