Chapter 8: The Birth of a Tech Giant
The deal with Nexus Dynamics had been finalized. Ethan now controlled 51% of one of the most advanced AI companies in the world.
But buying a company was easy. Turning it into a juggernaut? That was where the real challenge began.
System Upgrade: Unlocked
Ding!
[System Alert: AI Technology Unlocked]
Advanced AI Development Capabilities
Military-Grade Cybersecurity Algorithms
Cutting-Edge Machine Learning Models
Exclusive "Sentinel" AI Prototype
Ethan's eyes flickered with excitement.
"Sentinel AI?"
The system's interface displayed an in-depth blueprint of a next-gen autonomous AI—capable of handling finances, cybersecurity, and even strategic planning.
An AI assistant beyond anything in the world.
This wasn't just about business anymore.
This was war.
Fixing Nexus Dynamics
Ethan wasted no time.
He called a board meeting the next morning, walking into Nexus HQ like he owned the place—because now, he did.
James Sinclair, the CEO, sat with his remaining executives, all of whom expected a clueless rich kid.
Ethan let them talk.
They complained about the market.
They whined about investors pulling out.
They feared competition from tech giants like Tesla and Google.
Ethan simply smirked.
Then, he dropped the bombshell.
"We're no longer fighting for survival," he said, standing up. "We're fighting for dominance."
The room fell silent.
Ethan continued.
"We're implementing a three-stage revival plan for Nexus Dynamics."
He tapped on the projector screen.
1. Cutting Non-Essential Projects
Useless divisions? Gone.
Inefficient departments? Restructured.
R&D? Prioritized.
2. Securing High-Value Contracts
AI security for billion-dollar firms
Government defense projects
Exclusive AI automation for major banks
3. Revolutionizing AI with 'Sentinel'
The world's first AI financial strategist
Unbreakable cybersecurity defenses
AI-driven stock market predictions
The executives stared, shocked.
Sinclair finally spoke. "This… this is insane."
Ethan smirked. "It's necessary."
No one objected.
Because deep down, they knew… this kid was right.
Power Moves
The very next week, Ethan made his next move.
Through Nexus Dynamics, he secured a contract with a high-profile hedge fund to develop an AI that could analyze global market trends.
Within 48 hours, the AI provided its first insights.
Stock Alert: [Evercore Capital] – Predicted 60% increase in stock value in 2 months.
Ethan didn't hesitate.
He poured $100 million into Evercore Capital shares.
The news leaked.
Investors noticed. The market reacted.
Evercore's stock skyrocketed.
By the end of the week, Ethan's $100 million had turned into $160 million.
The Shockwave
The financial world was stunned.
"A nobody just made $60 million in days?"
"Who the hell is Ethan Cole?"
"Nexus Dynamics is back from the dead?"
Some called it luck.
Ethan knew better.
It was just the beginning.
