American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Real estate?" Mike played with the girl's long legs, his expression somewhat absent-minded.

It has now been almost six months since the King Group began its business expansion, and during this time, various King Group products have entered people's lives in all aspects.

Overall, the group's business expansion has been very successful.

After the initial three months of aggressive expansion, Mike's assets were being recovered at a visible pace.

Therefore, more than two months ago, Mike made the decision to build himself a King's Tower.

There are no other requirements; the main point is to make it flashy and eye-catching.

In his plan, this building, along with himself, will become a "benchmark" for the future of the United States.

The mention of the King's Building immediately brings to mind its owner.

It was precisely because of this consideration that the location of the King's Building was so important. Ultimately, to build this building, Mike bought a large plot of land between Wall Street and Broadway.

Centered around the original luxury villa, they built their own King's Building.

His main purpose in coming to Apple City was to inspect the construction progress of the building; meeting Caroline was just a side matter.

The budget for building the King's Building will require at least several billion dollars in working capital, and this is just the beginning.

This is why King's Group has been making money all along, yet Channing still thinks Mike is short of money.

“It’s not real estate.” Caroline shook her head at Mike’s guess and said, “Housing prices are already inflated. My dad stopped doing that business a long time ago. He’s now involved in the virtual economy, which involves pooling resources and investing them in more profitable industries…”

"It's still in its early stages. If you invest now, you're guaranteed to make a fortune!"

Having spent more than two years together, Caroline had long since become like Mike, so she was very willing to help him.

Moreover, although Caroline, who grew up in a wealthy family, is not interested in making money, she actually has a considerable business acumen.

Even with her keen eye, she could see that Apple City's real estate market was about to collapse.

The girl made a mistake: the current state of the real estate market was created by Qian Ning and his group, so how could they possibly get rid of it so easily?

Mike was certain that the Channing family was already heavily in debt.

As for Mr. Qian Ning, he is now raising funds frantically without regard for the interests of banks, which is clearly a dead end for him.

In other words, Qian Ningjia's current pyramid scheme-like way of making money is unsustainable.

Given Caroline's impoverished situation after graduation, Mr. Channing's frantic fundraising and subsequent bankruptcy only had a year left.

"I'm now involved in the real economy and people's livelihood, and I'm no longer interested in the virtual industry." Having seen through everything, Mike rejected the girl's kindness.

He even had reason to suspect that the desperate Mr. Qian Ning had his eye on his business and wanted to drag him down with him.

"Okay~" Seeing Mike's resistant expression, Caroline didn't try to persuade him anymore. Instead, she said, "Although you didn't invest in the Qian Ning family's business, if you really need money to make ends meet, you can tell me. I can ask my dad to lend you some money."

Girls are outgoing, and that's not just a saying.

Unfortunately, Caroline was not attentive to business operations and was unaware of her family's current situation; otherwise, she wouldn't have said such naive things.

"By the way, you can reconsider my suggestion about you going into business. The King Group has many niche projects that would suit you." The Channing family was beyond saving, so Mike decided to give Caroline another push.

“I’d love to invest in you, but I don’t have much cash on hand. How about I ask my dad and then give you an answer…” Caroline looked conflicted and a little embarrassed at being invited again.

This little princess of the Qian Ning family is never short of money. Similarly, she loves shopping for luxury goods and can't hold onto her money.

Although she really wants to help Mike, she feels powerless to do so.

Just then, the cold-faced Nydy walked in and reminded Mike that it was time to go to the site to check on the construction progress of the King's Tower.

"I still think you should leave your family and start your own small business, even if it's just for training," Mike reminded the girl again before leaving.

"Wait..." Caroline wasn't too surprised by the cold-faced woman's arrival. She just wanted to stay with Mike a little longer since he was about to leave.

She was feeling weak all over after the strenuous exercise and could only watch Mike and her bodyguard leave.

"Doing business?... Forget it, too much trouble. Mike should be staying in Apple City for a few days this time, I can go see him tonight..." After she was left alone, Caroline finally remembered Mike's reminder.

Having absolutely no need for it, she quickly forgot the reminder. She started thinking about what to wear that evening to attract Mike's attention.

Of course, this cannot be said that Caroline was love-struck; the main "responsibility" lies with Mike.

Two months ago, after deciding to build the King's Tower, Mike sent most of the girls from his previous luxury villa to Genovia for a vacation, and then he spent most of his time there as well.

Caroline, who had finally managed to see him once, naturally wanted to dress up beautifully and leave some wonderful memories for the two of them.

Meanwhile, Mike, who had just left the Channing family villa, saw Jesse and Lina by the roadside.

The girls' expressions made him feel slightly like he'd been caught red-handed.

"Why didn't you tell me that Jesse and the others were here?" Mike turned to look at the expressionless, cold-faced woman. "Never mind, it's pointless to ask."

Logically, with the King Group's expansion business back on track, Jesse, as a manager, should be quite busy.

Now that they were there, Mike greeted them with a smile, embracing the two girls and warmly saying, "Jesse, Lina, long time no see! You two seem even more charming!"

For the past two months, Mike has been enjoying the company of three girls from the "Devilish Figures" group and Princess Mia, among others, in Genovia. He's so engrossed in his company that he's had little time to think about Jesse and the other girls who are staying in Apple City.

"Is she even more charming than the eldest daughter of the Qian Ning family?" Jessie, who had gradually developed the temperament of a strong woman, rarely revealed a "resentful woman" expression.

"Haha, of course you guys are more charming..." Mike laughed and said, "It's decided, I'll take you and Tina and the others out for a big meal tonight."

Besides Jessie and Lina, the girls who stayed in Apple City to work included Tina and Collins, who was still in school.

These girls who had "fought" together have now vaguely formed a more stable sisterhood, and the group seems to be quite exclusive.

Of course, it could also be because they share a common goal: to keep an eye on Mike and prevent him from having affairs.

People like Caroline are their main targets.

This time, Jessie and Lina's arrival is likely as representatives of the sisterhood.

In front of Channing's villa, after Mike "backed down" and made a statement, the two girls naturally stopped making things difficult for him.

The main point is to get it right.

……

A little later, the group arrived at the site of Mike's former luxurious villa.

Charlie, the architect and chief engineer, led his team on a tour of the King's Building, which was under construction. Finally, he pulled out two blueprints and said, "Boss, the construction plan for the building is complete. The only thing left to decide on is the building's 'landmark'..."

One of the drawings is a sketch of a huge crown, which belongs to the same series as the King Group's logo.

The other image is a portrait of Mike, who is depicted with his arms outstretched, embracing the world. The image is detailed and fully showcases Mike's charisma and charisma.

“Your King’s Tower will definitely become very famous in the future, so I think it needs a logo to increase its recognizability.” Charlie explained his intention in designing the two drawings while Mike was looking at the blueprints.

As for Charlie, although he is a well-known architect in the United States, he felt like he had met a great talent when he met a client like Mike who was willing to spend any amount of money.

Therefore, he really wanted to build the King's Building well.

This would not only satisfy his own vanity but also enhance his reputation and brand recognition within the industry.

Because he was indirectly asking for a favor, Charlie appeared very humble when facing Mike.

"If we're going to do it, we'll do it to the best of our ability. I'll take care of the costs," Mike said confidently. "So, I want the crown, and I want the statue too!"

"Please wait a moment," Charlie said with a smile, "I have another design drawing over there, I'll get it for you right away..."

Not long after, a drawing of a statue with a crown on its head was delivered to Mike again.

The crown is specifically marked as being inlaid with dazzling crystals and gemstones.

The main focus is on a glamorous...

“Very good, I’m very satisfied with this backup plan.” Mike glanced at Charlie knowingly.

This is truly a talented individual!

……

Chapter 488 Dinner Party

Even though Mike was satisfied with the design of the King's Building, the building had only recently started construction, and only the construction plan and part of the foundation had been completed.

It will take at least a year to see what the final product will look like.

Therefore, after giving Charlie a few more words of encouragement to work hard, Mike left the construction site with the cold-faced woman and the others.

Unexpectedly, Mike met Alexander at the exit of the construction site.

Judging from their appearance, they must have been waiting for a while.

"Wait, is the company really that free right now?" Mike muttered under his breath, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally sweeping over Jesse.

Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Mike smiled and got out of the car, walking towards Alexander.

“Long time no see~”

"Yes, it's been almost half a year!"

Amid the greetings, Alexander emphasized the word "six months".

In order to find his second son, this elderly man, who is thousands of years old, has been working diligently for the King Group for the past six months.

Calling them "oxen and horses" wouldn't be an exaggeration.

The King Group owes at least one-tenth of its current situation to this old man.

"Can we talk about William?" After exchanging pleasantries, Alexander stated his purpose.

At the same time, the old man straightened his appearance, looking very formal.

"Of course~" Even if he hadn't done anything particularly meritorious, he had still put in a lot of effort, so Mike readily agreed to the other party's request.

Afterwards, Mike asked Jesse and Lina to prepare for the evening's dinner party, and then he and the cold-faced woman drove off and followed Alexander's car.

Not long after, the two cars stopped in front of a coffee shop on Wall Street.

“I’ve fulfilled my promise. How about you?” In a coffee shop booth, Alexander started talking after the waiter brought him coffee.

Clearly, enduring this for so long has reached the limit for the elderly.

“You know, I have connections with the angels in America…” Mike took a small sip of his coffee and said slowly, “but I haven’t found a werewolf named William among them…”

Seeing that Alexander's expression was becoming increasingly anxious and that he was about to say something, Mike gestured for him to calm down and continued, "So, your second son is either being hidden very well, or he's not in the United States at all."

In either case, it greatly increased the difficulty for Mike to find the person.

Increased difficulty means increased time cost.

Therefore, Mike wasn't lying to the other party because he couldn't complete the task.

He had indeed been very attentive during the past six months. Apart from vacationing in Genovia, he would occasionally use his teleportation ability to inquire about news from the angels in the United States.

Among them are Bruce, the intern angel from Apple City, and Kramer, the new angel from Washington State.

I met a total of eight or nine angels, and the remaining three or four angels were all, unsurprisingly, abroad.

It should be noted that angels exist not only in the United States but also in Europe.

"This..." Alexander hadn't expected his second son to be so difficult to find. His expression changed several times before he finally spoke, "You mean you need more time?"

Later, the old man answered his own question: "I can extend the deadline, but I hope that day will not be later than next summer."

What else can I do?

After joining the King's Group, Alexander gained a more comprehensive understanding of Mike's power. Mike was not only the owner of one of America's top 100 companies, but also had the backing of the Men in Black.

If even this force can't find William, then it proves that the progenitor of werewolves is really hard to find.

Alexander, who had placed most of his hopes of finding his second son on Mike, had no choice but to extend the deadline after careful consideration.

From the end of this year to next summer, there are still about half a year left.

"It won't take that long, I'll give you an explanation as soon as possible." The other party's sincerity made Mike a little embarrassed.

Moreover, with half a month left until the agreed six-month period, Mike decided to give it another try.

After gesturing for the aloof woman to pay for the coffee, Mike said goodbye to Alexander and headed towards Fifth Avenue.

As agreed, Jesse and Lina would bring other girls here for a meal.

The atmosphere inside the five-star seafood restaurant, which had been booked out, was somewhat tense.

“We’ve already booked this place in advance, please leave.” Jesse, along with a group of girls who were “united in their hatred,” glared at Caroline, who was dressed in designer brands like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

Yes, that young lady from the Qianning family somehow found out about Mike's dinner party and even located the exact location.

“But I’ve already paid for the whole venue!” Caroline deliberately dragged out her words, a smug expression on her face.
