Chapter 402 A Big Investment
Alex laughed. “The plan to defeat Ivy Media is confidential, I’m afraid I can’t disclose it.”
He then raised his cup and said, “Come, let’s drink.”

Evans and Bryan smiled faintly and did not pursue the matter. The four of them clinked their glasses and downed their drinks in one shot.
Putting down his glass, Bryan asked again,” Mr. Jefferson, that big investment that you mentioned earlier, what is it about? We’re really curious about that.”
Evans nodded. In his position, he was most interested in politics.
This concerned whether or not he would be able to join the decision–making group in Lumenopolis.
“President Sawyer, I’ll let you explain this to them,” Alex said to Jack as he placed his glass down.
Jack nodded and said, “Actually, I had discussed this with Mr. Jefferson two months ago. Right now, our domestic market lacks high–end microchips. We plan to form a technology company that aims to do research and develop such chips. We are also prepared to invest and build generators in the future.”
He paused before continuing, “Of course, we will first focus on the research and development of high–end microchips. Our first investment budget will be 100 billion. Once the high–end microchips show good results or gain profit, we will make our second investment and mainly produce top–notch generators.”
“That sounds good. Currently, high–end microchips are constantly monopolized by the Westmarch region. Once sanctioned, our domestic phone and technology companies become seriously affected. Furthermore, our country does not have much energy in developing such high–end microchips at the moment. If you are really able to invest hundreds of billions to further this project, it would definitely benefit the people and bring pride to our nation. You don’t need to wait for approval from Lumenopolis either; I’ll give you the green light,” Evans said delightedly.
An investment of more than 100 billion – this was huge. If Alex were really able to pull it off, it would reap great returns, be it to the country, domestic phone or technology companies, or to himself.
“Mr. Jefferson, if I may ask, are you really able to invest 100 billion? I hope you’re not making false claims?” Bryan asked, wary.
From what he knew, it was impossible for Four Seas Corporation to be able to fork out so much money. If it were just 20 or 30 billion, he would have believed him.
Evans was stunned. He, too, felt that Bryan’s question was valid. There was a high chance that Alex just wanted to buy them over for them to support Four Seas Corporation in the fight with Ivy Media Group.
After all, even if it were Penguin Group, they would not have forked out 100 billion to engage in investment at a place like Nebula City. Moreover, they were investing in a technology company that could likely cause them to lose everything.
Alex smiled and said confidently, “The preliminary plan will be released in a week. As for the source of 100 billion, I’m contributing 50 billion myself, President Sawyer will be contributing 15 billion, and the remaining 35 billion will be in place within a week.”
Evans‘ eyes twinkled. “If you and President Sawyer are truly able to put out 65 billion, I can help you out to convince the banks in Nebula City to give you a 10 billion loan.”

Alex nodded. “A bank loan works. However, I would like to wait till the next week. ‘ll get a loan only if I’m still unable to get hold of the 35 billion by then.”
