MMORPG : Rebirth Of The Strongest Guild Master
Chapter 523: The First ChallengeThe first major challenge that Rudra faced was not in omega but in real life.
With the sixth system update , there was an opportunity to have subsidiary guilds , this new system was beneficial in creating foreign presence and Rudra wanted to merge the Grey international main guild into his banner for this very reason.
Rudra wanted to have a stronger presence in the Ghost kingdom and use its geographical location to launch three pronged attack on the Nineclouds kingdom.
With the war with Nineclouds royal army , just around the corner if Rudra could add the ghost kingdoms front to the equation , then he could potentially launch a three pronged attack on the territory making it very hard to defend.
Rudra was initially confident that Ethan Grey would definitely agree , since he was the sole owner of the grey international guild. However shockingly Ethan refused.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRudra's logic behind this arrangement was that collaborating with the elites there was much to gain for the grey international main guild as well , as technologically , resourcefully and skilled personnel all could be lent to improve the grey international guild to the Elite standards.
Rudra's elites were valued over 15 times more than the grey international main guild making it worthy enough to take the latter under its banner even though both were super guilds ruling supreme over territory.
However Ethan was not interested in such a deal. As for him , if the Grey international main guild went under the elites , it was a slap in the face for the grey international corporation , and a huge loss to him economically.
Ethan said " Listen my friend , let's keep buisness and personal different okay? , I would never refuse you as a brother , however professionally your proposition is shit and i would never even talk about it had it been anyone else but you.
The only way your idea comes to fruition is if you are ready to buy 50% stake in the Grey international guild , at 3 times the market value for 3.6 trillion dollars.
However considering how you are my dear friend , i will round it off at 3 trillion for you . So next time we talk about this , either write me a cheque or let's put this topic aside ".
Rudra was shocked at first , he thought Ethan would be delighted to hear such a proposal , however that was not at all the case.
However what Rudra failed to realize was that along with all the benefits that the Elites brought to the table , they brought a ton of problems as well.
It was unreasonable of Rudra to ask for a guild to become a subsidiary with no gaurantees and only promises of empty words and hopes of a brighter future.
If Rudra wanted to make them a subsidiary then he must pay what Ethan asked which was a very fair price. However the issue for him was that although he technically held a lot of wealth , none of them was liquid and most of it was tied in intangible assets.
Which meant that for him to raise the capital to pay Ethan , he would most likely need to liquidate a lot of his Elites shares.
This was a problem for Rudra as under no condition was he willing to part ways with his precious guild shares , even for acquiring a subsidiary as promising as the Grey international main guild.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis presented Rudra with a problem that he needed to resolve as soon as possible as for rudra opening a new front for his battle against Nineclouds kingdom and the added numerical benefits of the grey international main guild would mean a massive advantage in the battle.
Even in the future having a synergetic guild like the grey international , having the same base and the same logistics department would be beneficial for both guilds in the long run.
For Rudra , Ethan was being unreasonable in his demands , however after Amelia , Karna and Neatwit all thought that Rudra was being the unreasonable one here , Rudra accepted that maybe it was him not understanding how the world worked.
After that Rudra only focused on how to make the acquisition happen and not on the conflict of opinion between him and Ethan , as he looked to liquidate many of the guilds potions and gold reserves to raise capital for his funding.
However just when things looked difficult for him as he could only raise a third of the capital needed even after doing everything necessary , Lita came in like a saviour as she mediated a long term payment plan based on monthly investments for Rudra , keeping the Elite guilds main shares as collateral for failed payment.
When Rudra got the additional option of paying the amount over time without affecting his much needed war gold reserves , he breathed a sigh of releif as he agreed to the arrangement.
Hence after a lot of legalities and compromises from both Ethan and Rudra , the aquisiton of 50% of the grey international main guild was completed by Rudra's true Elites for 3 trillion dollars payable over 30 installments over every month.
After the acquisition the notorious duo hugged and made up as they went for drinks at a bar , and harmony returned to the upside as the news of super guild becoming a subsidiary shocked the entire world.
Naturally the Elite's share price skyrocketed over the next 3 days due to the news , as they saw a 30% rise in their share price , effectively adding trillions of dollars in wealth for both Ethan and Rudra !
However more importantly , since the Ghost kingdom was the base of the grey international main guild it served as a base for Rudra to launch a three pronged assault onto Nineclouds kingdom as the elites and the Russians geared up for the coming showdown!
