Chapter 209 Chapter 334 Chapter 335 The Real Winner

"What did you say?"

Victor von Doom's eyes widened as he glared at Ned Cessel in anger. "I founded the Doom Group myself. I will not allow anyone else to interfere!"

"Oh, Victor, I don't want this either..."

Ned Cecil shrugged smugly and said pretentiously:

"But you should understand that this is by no means a personal grudge. I made this difficult decision only to protect the interests of all major shareholders."

"Of course, if you can personally help us solve the problems of the [Quantum Gate Project], then we are still willing to let you continue to serve as chairman..."

At the end, he sneered and threatened: "Otherwise, you might really have to go back to your hometown [Latvia] and start all over again!"

After saying that, he put on an attitude of "I've got you already", staring at Victor von Doom and laughing.

"You... you..."

Victor von Doom had never imagined that one day these greedy guys would actually target the company he founded.

You know, these people have already made a fortune from the stock market miracles that the [Dum Group] created in the past?
They are still not satisfied?

But if you think about it carefully, Ned Cecil and others' actions of "forcing the emperor to abdicate" are by no means without any trace.

Or perhaps this outcome was already predetermined from the very beginning...

Because over the years, Victor von Doom has used the power and relationships of the capital behind these people to overcome all obstacles, defeat and acquire countless companies. It can be said that he created the magnificent scale of the [Doom Group] today by stepping on the corpses of countless peers.

But what makes people sad is that in the end, he himself ended up with the same fate as those companies.

It really proves the old saying: evil hearts will be punished, and evildoers will eventually suffer the consequences!

Although Victor von Doom felt angry in his heart, he wanted to eat alive these old bastards present.

But he has poured too much energy and effort into the [Doom Group] over the years, so it is naturally impossible for him to give it up easily.

These people must have known his weak spot, which is why they were so presumptuous and arrogant.

"Oh... never mind. A real man can bend and stretch. I'll just have to bear with it for now."

"After I redeem my mother's soul from hell, I'll settle the score with you bastards!"

Besides, Victor von Doom was actually a little curious. The [Quantum Gate Project] was originally working well, so why did it suddenly malfunction and become unable to anchor [Holy Terra]?
however.

Just as Victor von Doom was about to compromise, he heard Ned Cessel on the other side sneer and add:
"Oh, by the way, that 'book' you brought back from that [Holy Terra] must also be handed over to the board of directors for safekeeping."

"We will hire professional philologists and archaeologists to conduct a comprehensive interpretation of it. Even if we cannot decipher the text and content, it can still be used to boost the group's share price."

"Don't think about it!"

Victor von Doom gave the answer without thinking, and at the same time turned his cold eyes to his assistant Matt standing behind him.

Needless to say, his personal assistant must have been bribed by the board of directors, otherwise they would never know so many details.

as predicted.

The latter smiled and spread his hands towards him, as if to say: Don't blame my boss, I really have no choice, who can help it? They gave me too much!
Ned Cecil, who was sitting with his legs crossed, seemed to have guessed the other party would give such an answer and reminded him disdainfully:
"Victor, I'm not negotiating with you, I'm giving you an ultimatum..."

"You must hand in that 'book' before the end of tomorrow's workday, or you will face more than just dismissal."

The corners of Victor von Doom's mouth trembled with anger.

But he also knew in his heart that the other party's threat was definitely not groundless.

Although he founded the Doom Corporation and was also its chairman, it did not mean that he could privately possess the Terra Journal without the consent of the board of directors.

These inhumane capitalists in front of him can openly confiscate all his personal property and send him to prison in the name of misappropriation of company property and occupational embezzlement.

However, this time, Victor von Doom could not give in and compromise no matter what.

Even though he lost the company, he was able to make a comeback with his own intelligence and talent.

But if the [Terra Journal] that records the [Demon Alchemy Formula] is lost, then his plan to fight his way through hell to rescue his mother's soul will be completely ruined.

But the problem is that time is running out, and he doesn't know what he should do to forcibly keep the [Terra Log]?
Escape directly back to my hometown [Latvia]?
This is a solution.

But the key point is that if he does this, he will inevitably become an internationally wanted criminal.

At that time, Latvia was still an unknown small monarchy.

Those emperors and nobles who only knew how to exploit the lower classes would not do anything for him... No, it should be said that they simply did not dare to confront international capital like Citibank head-on.

Therefore, the final outcome is likely to be that he is forcibly extradited back to the United States to stand trial!
Damn, how can we find a way to compete with these capital oligarchs?

Victor von Doom originally thought that his [Doom Group] was strong enough.

But it was not until now that he realized how ridiculous his idea was.

In front of those old capital empires, he is nothing.

Eh?
Wait!
Maybe that company can do it?!
Suddenly, Victor von Doom had an idea and came up with an extreme solution.

Aren't you fucking forcing me?
Don’t you want to take away my company?
Well then, let’s just fight to the death!
Let's see who suffers greater losses then.

After quickly adjusting his anger, Victor von Doom's face once again showed his usual confident smile.

His eyes swept over several board members one by one, finally landing on the leader, Ned Cessel.

"Okay, I'll give you a 'satisfactory' answer tomorrow!!"

When he said the word "satisfied", he deliberately emphasized it, and to Ned Cecil's ears, it seemed like his final helpless act.

"very good."

Ned Cessel glanced at the other party with some surprise. He originally thought that Victor von Doom would be furious and make a scene, but he didn't expect that he would compromise without any backbone.

But this is normal.

Over the years, he has seen too many talented entrepreneurs who want to climb to the top of the "capital pyramid" on their own.

But in the end, without exception, they were all manipulated by professional investors like him.

In the end, he was defeated and left in disgrace...

Compared to those stubborn guys, Victor von Doom is quite sensible.

This would at least leave him enough wealth to spend for the rest of his life.

He is a smart man!
Ned Cecil nodded with satisfaction and said eloquently:
"Victor, there's an old saying in the East: He who understands the times is a hero... Appropriate compromise and submission are at least much better than returning to that backward country and starting all over again."

compromise?

Bow down?

It’s still uncertain who will have the last laugh.

Then we’ll see!
Victor von Doom ignored these smug old bastards and turned away.

…………

……

The next day. In the conference room.

The board members, led by Ned Cessel, gathered here early.

But who would have thought that Victor von Doom arrived earlier than them, and sat directly in the main seat. He ignored everyone and just sat there leisurely with his eyes closed to rest.

"What's going on here?"

Ned Cessel looked at Victor von Doom with a puzzled look on his face, but did not rush to urge him.

Because the deadline they set previously has not yet arrived.

They can still afford to wait this time.

Boy, don’t you want to play?
Well then, we'll play with you one more time!
So all the board members in the room started glaring at Victor von Doom.

I do not know how long it has been.

There was a sudden commotion outside the meeting room.

"Who are you?"

"An important meeting is being held inside. No one is allowed to enter without Mr. Cecil's approval... Bang, bang, bang!!!"

The next second, several bodyguards in black suits broke open the door and flew in.

Σ(⊙▽⊙“a???

Ned Cecil and others were shocked when they saw this.

You have to know that all the members of the security teams that they hired at a high price are, without exception, former special forces cadets and are tough guys who have seen blood.

Pick any one of them at random, and they can beat ten people at once!
Can……

Wait a moment?
Could it be that this guy is going to cause trouble?

Ned Cessel suddenly came to his senses and turned to look fiercely at Victor von Doom who was sitting in the main seat.

But before he could say anything, a middle-aged man with short, neat hair, wearing an expensive suit and with an elegant temperament walked in from outside the meeting room with two [First-Phase Thunder Warriors].

"Good afternoon everybody."

Zemo had a gentle smile on his face, giving people the feeling that he was easy to bully and gentle.

"You...who are you?"

Ned Cecil spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

Under normal circumstances, if someone dared to disturb his meeting, no matter who the other person was, he would probably have been furious.

The reason why he didn't lose his temper right now was not because he was in a good mood today or had good self-control.

But it’s because... those two [Thunder Warriors] look so damn strong.

Compared to him, the bodyguards who were just beaten and sent flying suddenly looked like effeminate men with delicate features!
And, somehow, when the strange man opposite him glanced at his cheek, although it was only for a brief moment, he subconsciously felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

This is enough to show how dangerous the other party is!

Besides that, he always felt as if he had seen this man somewhere, but he couldn't remember where for a moment.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself."

Zemo said politely, "My name is Helmut Zemo, and I'm the CEO of Subspace Corporation."

"[Subspace Group]?"

Ned Cecil and the others were bewildered.

The name sounds a little familiar, but not familiar enough for them to remember it immediately?

At this moment, Victor von Doom, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly stood up from the main seat, and then enthusiastically stepped forward to shake hands with Zemo.

"Mr. Zemo, I didn't expect you to come all the way here in person for this matter."

"Never mind, Mr. Doom, let's get down to business."

Zemo went straight to the point and took a contract from a Thunder Warrior and handed it over.

"Please first review the terms of the equity transfer and see if they are consistent with what you discussed yesterday... If there are no problems, just sign them."

Do you see what professionalism is?
Victor von Doom took the contract, quickly scanned the paper text, and nodded continuously. The content on it was completely consistent with what he said yesterday.

Even the price of acquiring equity was not taken advantage of to lower the price.

Instead, it offered a price that was only slightly lower than the current market value of [Dum Group].

This is normal.

Who made him so anxious to cash out?
"Subspace Group really values ​​integrity!"

Victor von Doom secretly praised in his heart.

That's right.

This was the solution he had come up with on a whim yesterday… driving the tiger to devour the wolf!!

Since the [Doom Group] will sooner or later be taken over by those capital giants, it would be better to sell it directly to the [Subspace Group] now.

In the brief few contacts he had with the company before, this "little-known" company left a deep impression on him.

Especially after seeing the battle of Greenwich.

Victor von Doom believed that if there was any company that dared to confront these capital giants head-on, Subspace Group would definitely be one of them.

When he was negotiating with Zemo yesterday, the request he put forward was very simple... There was even only one necessary condition, that is, the [Terra Log] must belong to him.

Regarding the Terra Log, Victor von Doom did not intentionally conceal anything... Of course, he also did not say that he could already understand the text and content on it.

He just said that this was a book he found in the ruins of an alien civilization and he wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Apart from that, everything else was fine!

The reason why he was so "frank" was because he believed that since even Ned Sissel could find clues, the people from the Subspace Group would definitely be able to find them as well.

If you hide something now, you might get into bigger trouble in the future.

Therefore, honesty is the first step and cornerstone of cooperation!
Facts have proved that he was right!
[Subspace Group] doesn't care about this so-called "mechanical book" at all.

Even the [Quantum Gate Project] is dispensable to him...

Zemo: There's nothing I can do, since all of this was arranged by my boss!
Therefore, the negotiations between the two parties went extremely smoothly, and this is what happened today.

As for why the equity transfer contract had to be signed in front of all board members?

Of course, Victor von Doom wanted to deliberately disgust those old bastards on the board of directors! !

But just as he was about to sign his name on the contract, he suddenly heard Ned Cecil ask in a sharp voice that was almost breaking:

"Wait a minute, Victor, what are you doing?!"
