Chapter 6: When in hell look for someone who is worst.

We went through the Casino and then through the strip club and to the elevator. Then we went up 20 floors to her office. We then stepped into a penthouse and as we walked in the curtains went up.

A security guard, in a black suit, and a woman waited. I whistled as the television screens came on showing stock options.

"Welcome to my home/office. This will be your space for the next week," replied Jane to me.

I then said, "Yea! This place is tight! I guess we can throw a party up in here. And have some fun."

"No wild parties, No guests including boyfriends, no smoking or drugs. And most of all you have to be here 24/7 to keep an eye on my business. You have access to a bank account with US$ 100 Million in it.

The information is in the draw. Spend it as you deem fit and correct all problems you see. The work will be overwhelming so this penthouse is my goddaughter's and yours for a week," she quickly told me.

I then said, "I got it. So who are they?"

"That is Simon, head of security at Red Garden Complex, and Rachael, my assistant. They will aid you in all your decisions. Now my bags are already packed," replied Jane as two security personnel pushed out her four pink suitcases.

I then said, "Hold up! You said I would manage the Red Garden Strip Club, not the entire Red Garden Complex."

"Well I hate you living in the motel and I had to do something to get you here. And now you will have a job and I get a kid to live with.

Now before you say anything I am negotiating a distribution deal with Red Tube for my pornographic material and sex movies.

Now all goes well I will be traveling a lot. And Richard Entertainment Group is headquartered in downtown Seattle. So I will require a Managing Director of Red Garden Limited.

It pays 80 grand a week. So get a test of it and when I returned on Saturday you give me your answer. Any questions" asked Jane me.

"Can't I have a few friends over? I promised I won't keep a party," I quickly told her.

She exhaled and said, "Fine. I will suspend that rule for now. You can have anyone over, but if you invite a man over stay out of my room.

And I have a housekeeper. Now your voice was loaded in the system. So..."

"We will be fine," replied Claire, my former Secretary, as she and three securities wheeled in our six suitcases.

Jane then asked, "Claire? What are you doing here?"

"I needed a secretary and she was out of a job. With that I now have two," I quickly told her.

Claire dragged in one with a traveling bag on it.

As I looked puzzled Jane said, "I had your stuff at the motel moved her. And your piece of the scrap car is at the motel. Now my staff is at your disposal.

And you have a white Bentley. It comes with the job. See you."

She then hugged Simon and Rachael then left. Claire headed to her bedroom with my bags.

I then said, "Simon I will need you to give me the names of the blacklisted people from the Club, Casino, and Bar.

In addition, Security should cover every inch of the building."

"Ok, I can get you a list of it. But we only have 400 security guards to cover this 5 acres complex. We already have men covering more places already.

One of the Warehouses has a lot of security due to the contents in it. The Casino floors only have 10 guards," replied Simon to me.

"That is too little. A Casino floor should have a minimum of 30 armed guards. Plus the security team should work in shifts of 8 hours. That way they are always ready. It is not about cutting their shifts but about getting what you pay for.

To increase the team to 500 and I will need a team around the clock watching the CCTV Network covering the property. And increased the number of cameras on the property.

I don't need anyone popping up unauthorized here. Plus I need access to it in my office. Don't worry about the software will be handled by my daughter's company will program it," I quickly told him.

He nodded and said, "I will make the call to Moore Security Group. So have a representative from your mother's company here.

They will send us additional security and install the additional CCTV cameras. I believe it will take less than 4 hours to set up."

"Ok," he then walked away.

I then dialed SurTech Limited's business phone and it went to Davis Rollins, COO of SurTech Limited, secretary.

She answered saying, "Pleasant Morning. Thank you for calling SurTech Enterprises. Technology and software are our game. How may I assist you?"

"Good Morning. My name is Celia Anderson and I am calling for Mr. Davis Rollins," I quickly told her and she asked, "Can I take a message?"

"You are new. So I will assume my daughter hired you," I quickly told her and she said, "Mam! I am the Corporate Communications Officer of SurTech Enterprises. You will show me some respect," she quickly blurted out

"And I own 25% of the company. Plus I am an investor for the beginning. In addition, my daughter is the founder and CEO.

Don't put me through and I will come to beat your ass," I quickly told her and Claire laughed.

She then said, "Please hold."

Davis and Sharon were checking out a loft downtown, with Rosita, when his phone rang.

He looked at it and said, "It's my secretary."

Sharon chuckled and he answered saying, "Karen! What's up?"

"Sir I have a Celia Anderson on the line for you. I'm sorry but she insisted," replied Karen to him.

Davis put the phone on speaker and I connected.

Then I said, "Davis I need a technician to come to the Red Garden Complex. I will need some problems fixed and then I will pay you."

He looked at Sharon, she shocks her head to say no and he said, "I am sorry mam. But the CEO insisted that no one assist you. I would but she signs my paycheque now."

I chuckled and said, "Davis I know she is loaded because she found her rich daddy. But before there were Moore Communications Group big dollars. There were Celia Anderson’s loans. And I own 25%.

Plus you guys owe me $ 400 grand! Now I am going to pay you $250 K for this job. You have one hour to be here or I come to get you. And you don't want that."

I then hang up and Claire said, "You still full-on gangster."

"You have to be when it comes to my daughter. What's next Rachael," I quickly asked her.

Rachael then opened her tablet and said, "Ok so you have meetings with the staff supervisor and accountant in 10. It is a meet and greets. They are gathered in the conference room."

"Ok let's go," I replied as I walked off.

Davis in the meantime was leaving and Sharon asked, "Where are you going?"

"To the Red Garden," replied Davis and she quickly asked, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I did! But your mom is an investor/Shareholder. And she got paper on us. She will and I quote call the cops on us. Just to prove a point," replied Davis to her.

"I can afford a lawyer. My cousin is a business lawyer and she represents us. She can back us up," Sharon quickly told him.

"Yea! And your mom is a gangster. The last thing I need is her popping up with a 9 mm. I love you and I got you. But the last thing I need is you getting shot," replied Davis to her.

Sharon then kissed him and he said, "I love you. And I am going to go make that money."

She smiled and he walked away. As he did Gail Moore, Richmond Moore's daughter, walked in with her briefcase.

As she passed Sharon she said, "He is hot. Let him knocked you up."

Sharon laughed and followed her in.

Michael in the meantime reached inside and he looked around at the desks with the computers. There was also the APEC Technologies Logo on the wall. Samantha Davis, Director of Acquisition & New Accounts, was seated on one of the desks.

Michael then asked, "Why am I here?"

"Well, this building is a part of APEC Security Group, Llc. property holdings. And it came as part of the acquisition. Sandals International Inc. sold us their Seattle Residential and Industrial Holdings but they gave us APEC as part of the acquisition," replied Samantha to him.

"What do you mean gave us APEC as part of the Acquisition," Michael asked as he walked through the halls.

"Well APEC filed for bankruptcy a few months ago after their Quad Communicator watch fails. Now to replay investors it sold its holdings to Sandal International Inc.

According to Sandal's board, it is unprofitable. So they shut it down. It has 3 Internet Cafes (APEC Internet Cafe), a print house (APEC Printers Limited), 12 data banks (APEC Storage Co. Limited), 3 electronics Manufacturing Centers (APEC Electronics), and 25 stores locations (APEC Smart Stores).

In addition, the company has a stock portfolio of 400 grand in 2 drone companies, an electrical company, and a Telephone provider.

This building was its HQ. The taxes, light, internet, and Water have been paid for a year. And the best part is that they sold us the building and company for 5 million.

I checked the market we can't sell the entire company for 1 million and the building is valued less than 100 grand even in its current state," replied Samantha to him.

Michael then asked, "Why would you buy this for 5 million? We acquired their 100 residential properties for 1 million a one and the Industrial Holdings at half a million a one."

"You told me to get you Sandal Seattle Limited at whatever cost as the residential properties will aid in bringing Moore Apartments & Real Company on the map. And they dropped the industrial holdings on us and you pumped more money in

So when they said 5 million more and close the deal today I signed it off. And we got the APEC Technologies as an added subsidiary," replied Samantha to him.

Michael then asked, "What the hell is this place?"

"Well, it belonged to APEC. With that, the building has served and a lot of computer equipment. Plus it has equipment for a fully equipped print house and the building has its website and online platform.

And the internet is strong here. The main thing APEC did in its day was Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, and Security tech features," replied Samantha to him.

Michael then nodded and said, "We can't sell it and I am not in software so this building is useless to me. But the Store locations and the manufacturing arm are good for Moore Technologies Inc."

"Not necessarily," replied Samantha to him and Michael said, "I don't follow."

"Moore Technologies Inc. has a 25% stake in SurTech Enterprise Limited. Which is an up software and online company," replied Samantha to him.

"Yes, my daughter owns it. But I can't have a useless investment at Moore Corporations," replied Michael to her.

"You won't have it there. You see. I proposed you put APEC Security Group under the SurTech umbrella as a subsidiary. It manufactures hardware and its resources would pump into SurTech Enterprises.

That way it grows faster. And the best part is that it has 1000 employees currently on leave. We reinstate them and SurTech starts growing. This could be their Security division. And with this Moore Technologies can make twice as much Technology and Electronics.

If we manufacture our own technology Moore Communications would grow faster as we save a lot by doing it yourself.

And Moore Mobile would have a more powerful network and apps. We could outrun Sprint, Digicel, Virgin, Flow, and all the major telecommunications providers. Just think it through," replied Samantha to him.

Michael exhaled and said, "I am proposing to my daughter to take over Moore Communications Group and letting her boyfriend run SurTech Enterprises. So this with my satellite buy out it would be good."

"We are buying a satellite company," Samantha quickly asked.

"Yea! We are buying 10 satellites to form a grid around the earth. It will help with our: Television, Radio, and Internet networks. Plus we want to put in a lot of poles to never drop a call on our network," replied Michael to her.

"That is great from the CTO's office even though we don't have one," replied Samantha as they walked out.

"I am working on it. But transfer the company to SurTech Enterprises and have Gail send you US$ 5 Million to you," replied Michael to her as Carmen, his secretary walked in.

Samantha nodded and said, "Ok boss I will let her know."

She then walked away and Michael said, "Carmen have Franco look into this building and possible redecorate it. Plus have HR. contact all employees of APEC. Put them back on 5-year contracts with their original salaries.

I want APEC reopened by Monday at 9 am as Cybersecurity and Security technology manufacture.

Tell Moore Online's manager to check out the data banks. Bring APEC storage holdings and its employees to Moore Online. Plus tell legal to draft the contract about making Sharon Moore the CEO of Moore Communications Group."

As Michael saw her writing he asked, "Did you get all that?"

"Have Francis look into this building for redecoration. Has HR called APEC Employees to come to sign a 5-year contract on their original salaries?

Also, APEC Security Group is to be reopened by Monday at 9 am offering the services of cybersecurity and Security Technology manufacturing. So hence HR needs to hire and call quickly.

APEC Data Storage will be absorbed into Moore Online as well as its employees. So that is HR and legal. And that means a restructuring of the company.

Plus have Legal draft up the contract for Miss Sharon Moore to become the CEO of Moore Communications Group."

Michael whistled and said, "You got all of that from what I just said? And you understand? How?"

"Yea! I grew up with four brothers on a 500 acres Vineyard. I had to do the bookkeeping and interaction with clients. Plus I was my father's second. Taking notes and working quickly is in my nature," replied Carmen to him.

"Hold up! Your last name is Pascal. So Jeremiah Pascal of Pascal Wines is your father," asked Michael to her.

"Yea! I grew on the Pascal Plantation in Arizona. I went to Phoenix University to study Business & Marketing management. But I ended up working there. When my father died a year ago my brothers and their families took over.

I decided to hit the road. I own 20% and I gave Pascal Wines 28 years of my life. But my family feels it is time I became my own. So I bounced around until I got a 4 months temp Job as your secretary," replied Carmen to him.

Michael nodded and said, "I like you."

"I'm sorry sir. I not that kind of girl," Carmen quickly told him.
