Chapter 843 Another company
Chapter 843 Another company
It already happened, so there was no need to think too much about it.
Instead, it was better to focus on what to do from now on.
That meant fixing all of the companies that had been taken care of during this time.
So I asked, "What are you planning to do now?"
The prime minister and Haley looked at each other before revealing relieved looks.
It was as if as long as I didn't keep pushing on the fact that they had taken down all those companies. As long as I agreed to it and focused on rebuilding them, then it was all fine.
The prime minister and Haley didn't hesitate to present me with another plan that they had prepared.
It seemed like they would be using several proxies to buy up those companies and then consolidate them all into a single company. That company would give jobs back to the people that had lost their jobs and would take over the shares of the markets that the companies that they destroyed had.
In short, they would be turning all of those companies into a company that they owned.
They were going to turn it into a company that belonged to the royal family.
However, I was a bit concerned about this.
After all, this meant that it would be decreasing the amount of competition in the kingdom.
This was going against the plan that the prime minister had before where he would be trying to balance the number of competitors that we controlled to give the illusion of choice.
The prime minister naturally knew that as well, so he said, "There are enough competitors that we don't control that it won't turn into a monopoly. There are enough other companies that they would still have the option of choices."
Then in a different tone, he said, "These are markets that we've never dipped our toes in before, so it'll be our first time in them. So there's no need to worry about us controlling it completely."
I was surprised to hear this, but I looked at the plan that they gave me.
When I read it, I found that there were the names of the companies that would be considered rivals after we took control of these companies.
However, there was one company name that caught my attention the most.
That was because this company was one that showed up as a rival for all of our companies.
It seemed that this company would become our main competitor.
I wasn't worried about this company becoming our main competitor since it wasn't as if there was a company that could match the power that the royal family had. Even if they were backed by all the nobles in the kingdom, it would be hard to match the current royal family.
Rather I was surprised since the name of this company was one that I recognized...
It was the Zephyr Company.
It was the company that Haley's father was the chairman of.
It seemed that the new company that Haley was planning to create would be a direct competitor against the Zephyr Company.
I knew that the relationship between Haley and her father wasn't good, but to create a company just to compete against her father's company…that didn't seem like a good way to deal with it.
It seemed like it was a very toxic and dangerous way to cope with this problem…
It seemed like it would just make their relationship worse and worse until it reached a point where it couldn't be fixed anymore.
So this was not something that I wanted to see from Haley.
While the prime minister and Haley were still laying out the key points of their plan for me, I suddenly raised my hand to cut them off.
The two of them were confused why I did this, but I didn't mind the prime minister as I looked at Haley and said, "We need to have a private talk."
The prime minister was surprised to hear this, but he could hear the tone of my voice and could tell that it was serious.
As such, he gave a nod and walked out of the room.
Once it was just the two of us, Haley still had a confused look on her face as she didn't know what I wanted to talk to her about. However, the moment that I pointed out the Zephyr Company on the plan layout that she gave me, there was a look of understanding that appeared on her face.
Even though there was a look of understanding, she just looked at me as if she didn't think that she did anything wrong.
With the way that she looked at me, it was almost as if she felt that she had done nothing wrong.
I couldn't help slightly knitting my brows when I saw this, but I still asked, "Are you sure that you want to do this?"
There was a look of surprise that appeared on Haley's face when she heard this.
She looked at me as if she was trying to figure out what I meant by this, but I just looked at her with a serious look like I meant what I said.
When she saw this, she just gave a small nod as she said, "This is what needs to be done."
"He's your father." I said right after she said this.
I didn't give her a moment of thought as I pressed this matter.
But this time I was surprised as she just calmly said, "Yes, he is. That is why I have to do this."
I looked at her as if I couldn't understand her words even though I understood the individual words that she said. When they were combined together, it was as if I couldn't understand what she had just said.
Seeing the way that I looked at her, Haley just said, "I know my father and I know that this is what I have to do."
I was even more confused when I heard this, but I slowly gave a nod.
