Chapter 28: Business Overlord Building
"From this moment on, you're no longer part of the staff of Homescope Properties Limited. Pack up and leave at this moment!" Sabrina's words were stern and decisive. She knew all to well that Jack wasn't someone that could be offended.
After all, purchasing a mansion for over three million, although it wasn't the original price, showed that he had to have assets worth ten million in the list.
To be able to take out that liquid amount of money when most of their wealth was in terms of assets, he sure had to be a wealthy person.
The ladies tried to beg for forgiveness but Sabrina heard none of it. So, they could only try asking Jack for forgiveness. After all, it wasn't something easy for them to get the job as salespersons in a big real estate agency like Homescope Properties Limited.
But no matter how they begged, Jack ignored them. His reasoning was clear, everyone had to bear the consequences of their actions. After all, they were salesladies and they had just tried driving out a client.
That was already out of character for a salesperson. Not to mention the fact that they had slandered him. He could as well sue them, but, he didn't have time to waste on such minor things.
On seeing that Jack had no intention of forgiving them, the ladies could only leave dejectedly. But as they left, they stared daggers at Gloria.
"Gloria, didn't you say that he'd just purchased a small house on hire purchase?"
"I didn't know that he was a big shot. He's wearing simple clothes. So, I guessed that he wasn't rich." Gloria replied with a low and guilty voice.
"You guessed? You were making guesses instead of asking first? You'll have to see how we're going to get food!"
…
"I'll settle the balance in one bulk," Jack stated upon seeing that there would be nobody causing trouble again.
Sabrina was stunned once again. One had to know that the price of prince and princess palace was at least $3.8M. Jack's current balance was $1.8M.
He had previously paid a deposit of $2.0M. Now, he said that he was going to complete the payment. One had to know that Jack had given an estimate that he would finish the payment in a month, which was seen as a short period of time.
Now, not even a week had gone by and he was here to complete the payment for the mansion. Sabrina was both excited and worried. She wondered if Jack had decided to complete the payment at once so that he could cut ties with them.
"Mr. Jack, I hope you can forgive my incompetence in managing my subordinates," Sabrina said sincerely.
Jack was once again surprised. He wondered to himself, 'What's up with people nowadays? Have I not said that this matter is nothing big? Why is she looking at me as if I'm going to punish her?'
"It's okay. In fact, I wanted to buy another building." Jack waved his hand helplessly as he stated these words.
With $100M in his account, he could now afford to buy an office building. In this way, the headquarters would be established. If he could get the building here, there would be no need for him to run around in the city looking for a building to buy.
Jack's words immediately elevated Sabrina's mood. But, she was even more angry at the six ladies. They had almost lost such a big client!
"This way please." Sabrina led Jack to the top floor, where her office was located and several high end mansions, villas and buildings models were.
Jack looked at the buildings and said, "I want the best building present in the city. It doesn't matter how much the price is, I'll take it."
Sabrina smiled sweetly as she said, "We're the best real estate agency in the city. So, we have the best buildings, mansions and villas to be sold or rented out in the city."
Jack nodded. The prince and princess palace was a good example of what Sabrina was saying.
Sabrina gave him several recommendations before she brought him to the masterpiece. It was a thirty-storey building. It was known as the Business Overlord building.
From the model present here, Jack could see that it was good enough to be used as the headquarters of Jackson Enterprise. The parking space was ample enough. That was the surface's. Then, there was an underground parking as well.
There were two different types of elevators present. One that could access all the floors and one that couldn't access the top floor. Furthermore, there was a smart system that was installed in the building.
For example, a person would just need to say the floor that he/she was going to and the elevator would take them there.
The office building itself was located at the very center of the city. It was the tallest building present in Inchoate City. The others around it, the tallest amongst them was only twenty three-storey.
The sides of the building were covered in floor to ceiling glass. These hardened glasses had a special feature, one could look outside from inside but not vice versa.
Jack nodded. This building was modern. This was what he needed currently. So, he had the intention of buying it.
"Currently, the Dante family has the intention of buying it. But, I can give you a priority as they have not yet made a decision in whether to buy it or not." Sabrina said.
"I'm taking it now. What's the price," upon hearing that there was someone already eyeing 'his' building, Jack made a decision. He'll buy the building before they noticed. In this way, he could get the building that was now considered a landmark of Inchoate City.
"The total cost of the building is $70M. This is adding all the costs of processing the certificates, the deeds and licenses." Sabrina said this as she eyed Jack expectantly.
If it was another person, even if they were a member of the big five of Inchoate City, she wouldn't talk about the price so casually. She would definitely talk about the price of a floor in the building.
But, Jack had a mysterious identity. And, he had the surname Alfonso. So, she knew that he might be related to Crystal city's Alfonso family. That family was far bigger than Dante family. If they wanted to purchase that building, they wouldn't have much of a trouble.
"Why is it so…." Jack asked but was interrupted by Sabrina.
"Expensive? That's due to the equipment and the technology found there. Furthermore, it's the landmark of Inchoate City. Any person that will set up his/her business there would have his/her reputation boosted." Sabrina said. Though, the light in her eyes dimmed slightly.
"I meant to say that, it's quite cheaper than I expected." Jack corrected.
The price surprised Jack a lot. He had expected that such a building would be worth at least a hundred million. Who knew that it was only slightly over half a hundred million.
"Ah?!" Sabrina's mouth hung open as her eyes bulged in their sockets. She didn't know how to react in this situation.
One had to know that an office building was expensive than a mansion. After all, the office had more commercial value than a mansion.
This was the reason as to why prince and princess palace, although it wasn't expensive considering its level, but, its commercial value was lower than an office building. Although it could be rented, those who could rent such a mansion were small in number in the city.
"Full payment for both the two, the palace and the office building. Here's the card." Jack said while handing over his card.
Sabrina came out of her stupor as she stared at Jack incredulously. She looked at the normal card as she wondered, 'How rich is he in that such a large sum of money is placed in a normal card?'
One had to know that in a bank, there were different types of cards. There were normal cards that could be used by anyone as long as they had their savings in the bank.
Then, there were VIP cards that could be given only after a certain amount of money was deposited in the account. But still, there were different levels of VIP cards.
There were those for a million deposit, ten million, fifty million, a hundred million, five hundred million being the last one.
As for Jack who was spending $71.8M at once, he had to have a deposit of more than fifty million dollars. For that, he would be given a special card by the bank.
With trembling hands, Sabrina took the card. Although she trusted Jack, she still had to confirm that there was the required amount of money in the card. After all, Jack's card was a normal one.
After swiping the card, she handed the machine to Jack who then inserted his pin before handing it back to her. Upon seeing so many figures, Sabrina's hands trembled even more.
After about a minute, she completed the payment and handed the card back to Jack with both of her hands, as if afraid that the card would fall down.
"Mr. Jack, I've completed the payment for the prince and princess palace. But, for the office building, the amount is so high. So, we will have to go to the bank to get the transaction done or you'll have to get a higher level card." Sabrina said after Jack received the card.
Jack nodded in understanding. It seemed that he could complete what he wanted to do in the bank during this trip. He could open a separate account for the grocery department and Jackson Enterprise.
"Let's head there then," Jack said as he led the way to the elevator. Sabrina followed closely, giving Jack even more respect after seeing the balance. After all, that was all in liquid state, not to mention about the assets. One could only imagine his wealth.
