《Multiverse of Marvel》8. Acquiring companies
Advertisement
November 28, 2002
It was Thanksgiving Day. John and Jameson were supposed to have a sumptuous dinner at home. But John insisted on going to California on this day. Jameson and Valentina accepted his insistence and took John to California.
John came to California only for one purpose and that is to buy companies. Even though John didn't say anything to his father but he did ask him to contact a local business lawyer so that he could make contracts easily and fast. After landing in San Francisco they went to Silicon Valley.
After coming into this world John wasn't sure of what happened but he soon realized that the internet has not evolved as the same as in his world. Even though there is Google in this world but it hadn't evolved the way it should have. Well it didn't matter as there was the company of Google in Silicon valley and he could inject some ideas onto Larry Page, the current CEO of Google.
After coming to the office which by the standards of Silicon Valley was a small one, he had already asked the lawyers before to arrange up a meeting with Larry in the afternoon.
J Jonah Jameson, John, Larry and the lawyer sat in the meeting room sipping coffee.
"Mr. Jameson it is my honor to meet you and Mr. John, the avid creator of The lion king." Larry said smiling.
"Huh! Has the story of me being the creator reached here too? I don't think I have done such a huge work to gather the praise of an IT company's CEO." John replied.
"You must be joking Mr. John. Even though your career path doesn't coincide the path of our company but just the fact that you could create such an awesome masterpiece with such high imagination, you Mr. John is worthy of respect." Larry said.

"Thank you Mr. Page but you do forget that I am just an 12 year old kid." John said.
"Well if you want to be a big company like the other IT companies here then I can take your companies to new heights. The heights that even you can't imagine in your life." John added with a smirk.
Now it was the turn of Jameson and Larry's expression to change. Jameson felt surprised because he knew this smile of John. It meant he had a wonderful idea and it might bring a huge change and Larry was surprised that John could even say such thing because he felt that a kid of 12 year old shouldn't know much of IT even if he is famous all over the world. All Larry cared about is if Jameson could invest money in his company and help the company become bigger.
"Mr. Larry, I have a proposal for you. I would buy your comapny's 70% stock and inject an amount of 200 million USD based on the fact that you will follow my ideas and execute it accordingly." John said with solemness.
Jameson and Larry were again astonished by this statement because Jameson felt that such a small company shouldn't be evaluated so highly and Larry felt that it was like a angel serving him a golden platter. Even though Larry wasn't sure of why John came to him with such extravagant proposals. As long as he could get the money and do nothing illegal he would be fine with it even if the ideas proposed by John were total bogus.
"But Mr. John why did you come to me? We are just a small website creators and don't have such high value." Larry asked hesitatingly.
"Because Mr. Larry in this whole world only you have the knowledge to execute my ideas. Don't get astonished Mr. Larry. This is the truth. I have a bunch of ideas in my head and only your company can execute it efficiently. But I wish to settle the contract before we further advance into the negotiation." John said.

After much thought, Larry asked to excuse himself as he had to ask the co-owners of the company. After about half an hour of discussion while John and the others took a walk around the office they came to the meeting room again.
"Mr. Jameson, we would like to accept the proposal of Mr. John. I hope it would be possible." Larry said as he knew the last word in this whole negotiation were the words of Jameson. Jameson looked at John who was smiling at him. He shook his head in reluctance and said, "Sure Mr. Larry. Shall we sign the contracts?"
The contracts were drawn upon and soon the all the required procedures were processed. It was said that the whole process could take quite a few days and John had no idea of the company's ownership. It was better to leave it to his father.

WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...

Spell Bound
“It wouldn’t be a lie to say that many of us want to change our lives for one reason or another. Power, money, lust, love, acceptance… loneliness. Empty endless screaming loneliness; that was my reason. Loneliness that just didn’t go away no matter what I did or how hard I tried. Maybe some of you can imagine how I felt, perhaps even felt it yourself or still do. It is a terrible feeling isn’t it? It can be maddening beyond belief. I remember sitting on the floor in the corner of my room staring at the endless white walls hating myself. The loneliness had gotten so bad I would just sit there and cry. I felt so alone, so isolated, so inadequate. Would you run away from it all if this was your life? Would you try to change things? What my dear reader would you do? This is the story of how I ran, how I lived, how I tried to change things and how I finally died. Dear reader this book is the story of my life and those around me. The knowledge I’ve gained, the wisdom I have acquired, my triumphs, my failures, those I loved and those I hated. This book is all that I am and hoped to be. It is yours now, may it serve you well and guide you to a happier future than mine.” Excerpt taken from the journal of Kaden Vos also known as, “The Butcher of Rakan” -- I have been a long time reader and have always wanted to create something myself. I hope you all find this world I am creating fun and enjoyable. As I am new to this, any advice or feedback you have will be greatly appreciated and I will do my best to improve. My goal is a chapter a week, but sometimes it can be a bit tough with work and taking care of the family. Thank you all for reading. -- PS: I take no credit for the new cover, you are an amazing artist whoever you are. I am only using it for a temp cover till I can make something myself.

The Spider's Lair (Vomit Draft)
A group calling themselves ‘The Starlight Spear’ ventures into a dungeon known as ‘The Spider’s Lair’ in the hopes to recover the treasure it possesses. Along with their newest member Morana, what could possibly go wrong? This 'Novella' -ha Novel* will follow the stories of a few main characters centering around a coherent plot. Theo Wood is an elf who joins a new criminal guild in the city of Leeside known as the 'Webbed Children', Sabrina Black is a young orphan girl developing strange new abilities, and Saurus, a Lord Commander put in charge for the recapture of Wetbrook--a town consumed by giant spiders! There will also be some interludes surrounding supporting characters. I'm using Royal Road to publish my first drafts, like throwing paint 'or shit' at a canvas to see what sticks. The writing quality will be the main focus in draft two (You've been warned), and I'm using the first draft mainly as a loose outline for the plot. I will also try and 'show, not tell' in draft two. This is my first attempt at a novel! Any help or advice is much appreciated! If you want to support me! Please follow, rate and comment, as this really helps me understand what to focus on in draft two. Thank you.
