《Multiverse of Marvel》8. Acquiring companies
Advertisement
November 28, 2002
It was Thanksgiving Day. John and Jameson were supposed to have a sumptuous dinner at home. But John insisted on going to California on this day. Jameson and Valentina accepted his insistence and took John to California.
John came to California only for one purpose and that is to buy companies. Even though John didn't say anything to his father but he did ask him to contact a local business lawyer so that he could make contracts easily and fast. After landing in San Francisco they went to Silicon Valley.
After coming into this world John wasn't sure of what happened but he soon realized that the internet has not evolved as the same as in his world. Even though there is Google in this world but it hadn't evolved the way it should have. Well it didn't matter as there was the company of Google in Silicon valley and he could inject some ideas onto Larry Page, the current CEO of Google.
After coming to the office which by the standards of Silicon Valley was a small one, he had already asked the lawyers before to arrange up a meeting with Larry in the afternoon.
J Jonah Jameson, John, Larry and the lawyer sat in the meeting room sipping coffee.
"Mr. Jameson it is my honor to meet you and Mr. John, the avid creator of The lion king." Larry said smiling.
"Huh! Has the story of me being the creator reached here too? I don't think I have done such a huge work to gather the praise of an IT company's CEO." John replied.
"You must be joking Mr. John. Even though your career path doesn't coincide the path of our company but just the fact that you could create such an awesome masterpiece with such high imagination, you Mr. John is worthy of respect." Larry said.

"Thank you Mr. Page but you do forget that I am just an 12 year old kid." John said.
"Well if you want to be a big company like the other IT companies here then I can take your companies to new heights. The heights that even you can't imagine in your life." John added with a smirk.
Now it was the turn of Jameson and Larry's expression to change. Jameson felt surprised because he knew this smile of John. It meant he had a wonderful idea and it might bring a huge change and Larry was surprised that John could even say such thing because he felt that a kid of 12 year old shouldn't know much of IT even if he is famous all over the world. All Larry cared about is if Jameson could invest money in his company and help the company become bigger.
"Mr. Larry, I have a proposal for you. I would buy your comapny's 70% stock and inject an amount of 200 million USD based on the fact that you will follow my ideas and execute it accordingly." John said with solemness.
Jameson and Larry were again astonished by this statement because Jameson felt that such a small company shouldn't be evaluated so highly and Larry felt that it was like a angel serving him a golden platter. Even though Larry wasn't sure of why John came to him with such extravagant proposals. As long as he could get the money and do nothing illegal he would be fine with it even if the ideas proposed by John were total bogus.
"But Mr. John why did you come to me? We are just a small website creators and don't have such high value." Larry asked hesitatingly.
"Because Mr. Larry in this whole world only you have the knowledge to execute my ideas. Don't get astonished Mr. Larry. This is the truth. I have a bunch of ideas in my head and only your company can execute it efficiently. But I wish to settle the contract before we further advance into the negotiation." John said.

After much thought, Larry asked to excuse himself as he had to ask the co-owners of the company. After about half an hour of discussion while John and the others took a walk around the office they came to the meeting room again.
"Mr. Jameson, we would like to accept the proposal of Mr. John. I hope it would be possible." Larry said as he knew the last word in this whole negotiation were the words of Jameson. Jameson looked at John who was smiling at him. He shook his head in reluctance and said, "Sure Mr. Larry. Shall we sign the contracts?"
The contracts were drawn upon and soon the all the required procedures were processed. It was said that the whole process could take quite a few days and John had no idea of the company's ownership. It was better to leave it to his father.

Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.
