“Mr. Novak, can you please be straight to the point?” Zachary Janell grumbled.
“Mr. Janell, before the incident, my wife took the elevator to the upper floors of the mall. The up and down elevators are located in different places. How did your daughter run into my wife?”
“She almost pushed my wife down the stairs. It was me who caught my wife in time. Could you take responsibility if anything had happened?”
“Your daughter almost fell down the stairs too. I pulled her back, indeed pulling some of her hair in the process. But, between physical injury and hair, which is more important, do I even need to point that out?”
“Your daughter didn’t even express gratitude and instead charged like a lunatic at me unexpectedly. I pushed her away and she fell down the stairs.”
“Mr. Janell, it’s understandable that parents are concerned about their children, but one must also be reasonable. Initially, I was ready to let this issue pass, but now your daughter’s agent wants compensation from me?”
“If you, Mr. Janell, really believe I should compensate your daughter, then take it with ease.” Yigol Novak calmly stated.
Linda Janell on the other end of the phone drew a cold breath. If her daughter really did injure this tycoon’s wife, the consequences…
“Mr. Novak, would this be acceptable? Besides your 1 billion dollars, I will give another 1 million as an apology from me for my daughter’s lack of understanding.”
“1 million? Mr. Janell, are you joking? What is 1 million to you?” Yigol Novak spoke softly.
There’s no way around it, he’s rich, and that’s his biggest bargaining chip.
“Then what does Mr. Novak suggest?” Zachary Janell said while restraining his anger.
“A hundred million. Your daughter’s agent mentioned a hundred million straight away, so let’s settle with a hundred million then. If you have any objections, you can choose not to pay.” Yigol Novak said with indifference.
A hundred million?
The entire market value of Garkin Media is just about 10 million dollars, and this hundred million is astronomical for Zachary Janell.
“Mr. Novak, despite being rich, you can’t just bully people like this.”
“Me, bullying people? My wife might not have been hurt, but she was frightened. Shouldn’t I go over this bill with you?”
“So, you’re saying that it’s impossible for us to reconcile?” Zachary Janell said angrily.
“Mr. Janell, I won’t waste any more words. Next time we discuss, it won’t be the same price, it’ll be double. Just a reminder for you, you might want to pay attention to the affairs of Garkin.”
“If the market situation worsens and collapses, that would be quite a pity, don’t you think?”
Zachary Janell was silent for quite a while, then said, “Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Novak, but the prospects of Garkin are promising. We don’t need your concern.”
Yigol Novak didn’t say anything else and hung up the phone.
He had previously mentioned to Sana Woods about how to reclaim the 1 billion dollars once it had been given away.
Now, if Zachary Janell wasn’t going to willingly pay the interest, Yigol would have to employ certain tactics.
Calling the police or such would be too dull.
After all, Suri Drew was not injured, and at most, Zachary Janell would have to return the 1 billion to him. This wouldn’t be much of a blow to Zachary Janell.
Yigol had already thought about how to handle this. If those behind Linda were not taking account for propriety, then he would utilize his stock-market skills.
However, it was quite a surprise to find out that Linda’s father was a shareholder of Garkin.
That was a good thing, at least he didn’t have to worry about injuring the innocent.
He looked up some information about Zachary Janell online. He was indeed a Garkin shareholder, holding 20% of its shares.
Although the market value of Garkin Media was only 10 million, in the entertainment circle, people shouldn’t belittle it.
With his twenty percent stake, it seemed that Zachary Janell had great power in Garkin. No wonder he was so arrogant.
“Alright, let’s test and see how capable I am.” Yigol Novak laughed.
“Ding, System has detected that the host intends to avenge Suri Drew. System will reward you with all of Garkin Media’s scandals. The information is already on your computer for you to view.”
AS tne system’s voice stoppecl, Ylgol INOVaK 100Kea at ms computer ana round an additional folder titled ‘Garkin Media Scandals’.
“System, does this mean that I… I am just a toolman for my wife?” Yigol Novak said helplessly.
The System did not respond.
Yigol originally planned to retaliate against Zachary Janell a little in the stock market. As long as he took action, he could easily destroy Garkin.
That would be quite time-consuming, but the results would not disappoint him.
Although the System didn’t directly give him experience, he remembered the lessons he learned from making money in the stock market. Using that memory, he figured out some strategies in the past two days.
Now that he had Garkin’s scandals to leak, he wouldn’t need to go through as much trouble. He could easily bring Garkin down.
After Yigol studied the stock market, he took all his investments out from the foreign stock market.
Even though he has a lot of capital, it’s a drop in the ocean on an international scale. Therefore, even if he pulled out, it would not stir any waves.
Then, after some research, he put his money into the account he opened domestically.
After that, he looked at the black material about Garkin and started to leak the scandals gradually.
Yigol didn’t have the resources for this. If he released the information himself, Garkin could easily suppress it with a bit of strategy, so he decided not to play all his cards at once.
To play a game, it’s more interesting to play slowly.
As the saying goes, the enemy’s enemy is a friend. Yigol looked up who had been Garkin’s biggest competitors over the years. After checking, he realized that Garkin itself was a subsidiary and there was a larger company above it.
So, to have built their business to this level, they were actually quite remarkable.
Yigol suddenly got an idea. If you were going to play, might as well play big.
He first leaked some of Garkin’s scandals, then handed over information about their tax evasion to the relevant departments.
Just as Yigol had expected, Garkin’s first reaction was to suppress the information. But when they were just about to succeed in their efforts, the relevant investigatory departments arrived unexpectedly.
All of Garkin’s previous actions proved futile.
Once Garkin was under investigation, various dark secrets were revealed, catching Garkin off guard.
While Garkin was overwhelmingly busy, Yigol Novak stepped into the stock market.
Yigol started trapping money in Garkin’s stock market, causing Garkin’s top boss to invest money in a rescue mission.
Indeed, if it were only ordinary turbulence and investigation issues, Garkin could be saved.
If Yigol hadn’t interfered, Garkin’s prospects would still be quite considerable.
But with Yigol’s involvement, the situation was different. While they were busy dealing with the relevant investigatory departments and the online scandals, Yigol took his actions in the stock market..
