Chapter 547
Gareth picked up the phone.
"Mr. Gust..."
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Spencer. I was busy with work, so I couldn't answer your call."
Yuriel showed Gareth plenty of respect as he explained himself.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Gareth laughed and replied, "It's fine. You've probably seen my message just now, right?"
Yuriel chuckled.
"I saw it. Had I known that you had invested in Alumni Network, I wouldn't have wasted my time meeting with Mr. Zahn to discuss the acquisition."
Gareth chuckled in return and said, "It's not too late. Alumni Network is a networking platform meant for youths. I think that a young person understands another young person better.
"I believe Alumni Network will go far under Carlisle's leadership. So, Mr. Gust, don't snatch this opportunity from me, alright?"
Yuriel quickly replied, "Your words are very logical. It seems that I didn't think this through.
He froze immediately after he said those words.
He realized that Dragonaire Studio was Carlisle's as well and that Gareth had invested two billion in it.
Back then, there was even a signing ceremony at Imperial Hotel where the governor of Riverland was invited to officiate. Ever since the signing ceremony, Dragonaire Studio had disappeared from the public eye. It seemed the business world had almost forgotten the
company.
In other words, Dragonaire Studio, which was currently under Carlisle's control, was worth a few billion. On top of that, he had Alumni Network that was very popular with universities.
Yuriel took a deep breath. The two industries within Carlisle's management would surely disrupt the business world of Riverland in the future.
After a moment of silence, Yuriel added, "Carlisle has such strong business acumen at such a young age. It truly is worth the investment.
"Besides, I view Alumni Network favorably. I wonder if there's still an opportunity to invest in it."
He suddenly found himself fearing Carlisle a little. Even if he were to defeat Shein in the future, Carlisle would be another threat to him.
He was inconvenienced by Gareth's investment in Carlisle's company. Since he couldn't afford to offend Gareth, he figured that he might as well invest in the company, too.
"Well, Mr. Gust, you might be disappointed... but we're not short on funds right now!" Gareth replied smilingly.
If Carlisle were truly short on funds, Gareth would have to suck it up and ask his father for money.
Even if it were just one percent, the shares would become insanely valuable in the future.
Yuriel sounded slightly disappointed.
"That's really unfortunate. The youths are the future, so I'm very willing to invest in them."
After exchanging some pleasantries, Gareth ended the call. From the conversation, he sensed that Yuriel had started to fear Carlisle.
He couldn't help but say in awe, "Oh, Carlisle. I'm really looking forward to realizing your dream now!"
He couldn't help but think Carlisle was a madman for aiming to be the world's wealthiest man.
Carlisle's businesses were booming especially his smartphone business. Gareth could hardly imagine the global impact it would have if it succeeded.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
"Hi, Mr. Spencer..."
Gareth turned to look at the owner of the voice. His dark eyes lit up with recognition.
"Why are you here, Luna Brooke?"
"It's Saturday. I'm here to shop with Queenie."
Gareth did not see Queenie.
"Where is she?"
"She went to park her car," answered Luna.
"Oh."
Gareth opened his car door and got out. He then walked toward the mall with his hands in
his pockets.
Luna's brows furrowed.
"Hey, don't you have any manners?"
However, Gareth didn't even bother looking at her.
He wondered why he should mind his manners when they weren't familiar with one another.
Luna stomped her foot in frustration. Queenie, who had parked her car, walked over at that moment.
"What's wrong?"
Luna pouted and clung to Queenie's arm.
"I was ignored by a jerk..."
Queenie looked surprised.
"Really? Someone ignored you?"
After all, Luna was the famous campus belle of Riverland University.
