“Shepherd Star Group?” Matthew only frowned. “We haven’t had any form of collaboration with them before, am I right?”
Thomas immediately handed the information about Shepherd Star Group to Matthew following that. “This is all I can find about Shepherd Star Group. It was established five years ago. Its headquarters is in Mythpoint, and it has branch offices in Bloomstead.
The owner of Shepherd Star Group is a woman. However, not only is she smart and ruthless, but she also knows what she’s doing when it comes to business. From what I know, she was once an actress before this.”
Matthew looked at the personal information of Eviette while Thomas briefly informed him about the current situation of Shepherd Star Group.
“How does she plan to collaborate with us?” Then, Matthew deducted a conclusion from the information given, and he asked, ‘Is it an artificial intelligence project?”
Thomas nodded. “We’re thinking the same thing. Look, Shepherd Star Group just called and said they would be here in an hour. Should we make some proper preparations for them? Shepherd Star Group is a powerful company. It can be advantageous if we collaborate with them.”
“Even you know that Shepherd Star Group is an influential company. Why did she choose to collaborate with our company then?” Matthew placed the documents on the table as he continued, “How did she find out when we haven’t done any promotion or publicity for our Al projects?”
Spinfluence Group was once the top company in Bloomstead, but there were always others who were even bigger and stronger.. Spinfluence Group still had a long way to go before it could catch up to the major enterprises in Mythpoint.
Moreover, Spinfluence Group was now in the hands of Conrad Kings, and Zac had invested further in the company to make it even stronger. Matthew had little influence over things at the company at the moment.
Dominik Ledger proposed to him a collaborative project after he returned from the hidden clan. But, even launching that project required at least 15 billion in funds.
After all, the distance from the hidden clan to Bloomstead was the major issue of the project. Thus, it would require a massive investment of funds and manpower.
Matthew secretly established connections through money during his visit to the hidden clan and he spent a total of more than 75 billion.
The hidden clan credit had an exchange rate of 5 to 1 with the domestic currency. So, the 75 billion hidden clan credit which he spent was equivalent to just over 15 billion.
The number seemed insignificant. But, it was already a massive blow to Matthew. He didn’t tell Veronica about this matter, nor did he want to. He didn’t want her to worry unnecessarily.
Meanwhile, Conrad took over Spinfluence Group and secured several promising projects in quick succession along with Anthony’s help. Now, Spinfluence Group’s financial projection looked even better, and its stock market value skyrocketed, multiplying several times.
Therefore, Matthew, who had limited financial resources, didn’t dare to confront Conrad Kings looking at his current situation.
He was grateful that Veronica was foresighted and had started the development of the company’s Al projects. Otherwise, Spinfluence Group would be in an even worse spot.
There would be no place for Matthew and Veronica in Bloomstead if that didn’t happen. “I’ve no idea. I’m afraid you’ll have to ask Eviette in person.” Thomas shrugged helplessly.
“Understood. You’re dismissed.” Matthew waved his hand, signaling for Thomas to leave. Thomas only nodded before turning to leave. Just then, Matthew called out, “Wait.”
“What’s wrong, Young Master Matthew?” Matthew leaned back in his chair and spoke in a serious tone, “Do a counting on all the assets under me and Roni’s names and tally up all the money in the account. Keep a low profile while you’re at it.”
“Of course, Young Master Matthew.” Thomas didn’t ask further, and he walked out of the office.
The plan regarding the hidden clan had been in place long before Veronica and Matthew got married, and Thomas was also involved in it. So, he naturally knew the astonishing amount of money spent during that trip, and he had a better idea of Matthew’s current situation now.
He had already anticipated that Matthew would ask him to tally up everything. But, it happened later than he expected.
