Building The Strongest Family-Chapter 49: No Lose Ends : Securing The Chain

Time flies and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and for the Osborn Family, this has been one of their busiest periods yet!

Each family member has been hustling to get things done.

Even Arthur, usually the calm in the storm, found himself with an incredibly tight schedule.

He was hands-on, overseeing Julian and the others to ensure everything ran smoothly.

In a bold move that left everyone reeling, Arthur transferred a staggering 200 trillion Unicreds into the Osborn Holding account.

When Margaret first laid eyes on such an astronomical sum, her jaw dropped, shock and fear washed over her as she wondered if Arthur had crossed some legal line to amass such wealth.

After all, even during his father's reign, the Osborns had never seen figures like these! Margaret had never encountered so much money in her life; it was mind-boggling!

Yet Arthur simply brushed off her concerns with vague excuses and reassured her not to worry about anything.

To keep their operations under wraps and avoid drawing attention from prying eyes, Arthur made a strategic decision: he recruited over 300 talented individuals from the system mall's talent category.

These business prodigies were allocated among his uncles, aunts, and cousins, especially George, Edward, William, and Oscar, to bolster their efforts in various industries.

George and William took charge of the Osborn Mining and Resource Group; Edward oversaw Osborn Transportation Group; while Oscar managed Osborn Heavy Industries.

Although they were still gaining experience under Julian and Nathaniel's mentorship, time was of the essence.

With urgency pressing down on them to establish their respective industries before things spiraled out of control, Arthur ended their training early.

He strategically bought high-level business talents who would not only expedite their progress but also share invaluable knowledge.

As for Ashley? She was already well-versed in business management but still received additional support personnel to ensure nothing fell through the cracks.

Beyond just business acumen, Arthur expanded his recruitment efforts across various fields, scientific research talents, programmers and AI technology talens, engineering and manufacturing experts, medical and biotech professionals etc....!

He bought thousands of exceptional talents tailored for each industry they planned to tackle.

However impressive this expansion was for operational efficiency came at a cost, literally!

After transferring 200 trillion Unicreds into Osborn Holdings and investing heavily in talent acquisition across 15 different industries (with seven already assigned), Arthur found himself with only 200 trillion left in his account.

His first uncle Julian led Osborn Technology; Nathaniel headed up Real Estate and Construction; Emily took charge of Media and Entertainment; Ashley directed Fashion and Cosmetics; while George & William focused on Mining Resources; Edward managed Transportation; Oscar supervised Heavy Industries.

The remaining eight industries required substantial manpower, and that's where all those newly acquired talents came into play!

Of course, Arthur wasn't just going to rely on his own skills; he also brought in some seasoned family members who excel in business and management to fill key positions.

However, when Julian and the others started questioning where all these talented individuals came from, especially since Arthur had purchased so many from the system mall, he quickly spun a tale about poaching them from other companies with lucrative salaries.

Thankfully, any talent he acquired through the system mall came with their identities fully managed by the system itself, sparing him from any headaches.

But what really put a dent in Arthur's finances was when he stumbled upon an entire construction company for sale in the system mall.

He had no idea such thing existed in the system mall at all!

It was pure luck that he found it while browsing through the system mall before his meeting with the Urban Development and Construction Bureau.

Otherwise, how could he have confidently told Head Bureau Derrick that he could complete a mega-scale commercial plaza spanning 10,000 square kilometers in just one year?

The infrastructure company he discovered was categorized into five levels, each with its own pricing and completion timelines:

Level 1 - Small-Scale Construction (Starter Level)

Workforce: 10-50 employees (basic laborers, masons, carpenters)

Construction Speed: 10 Years

Cost: 10 Million Unicreds

Level 2 - Medium-Scale Construction (Local Dominance )

Workforce: 100-500 employees

Construction Speed: 3 Years

Cost: 100 Million Unicreds

Level 3 - Large-Scale Construction (City-Level Influence)

Workforce: 1,000-5,000 employees

Construction Speed: 1 Year

Cost: 100 Billion Unicreds

Level 4 - Mega-Construction (Nation-Shaping Projects)

Workforce: 10,000-80,000 employ

Construction Speed: 6 Months

Cost: 500 Billion Unicreds

Level 5 - Hyper-Construction (World-Defying Feats)

Workforce: Over 500,000 employees (self-replicating nano-bots and alien-tech engineers)

Construction Speed: Just 1 Month!

Cost: A staggering 100 Trillion Unicreds!

Arthur didn't even glance at Level 1; instead, he dove straight into purchasing three Level 2 companies, two Level 3 companies, and one Level 4 company. The price tag for a Level 5 company was simply overwhelming!

What truly thrilled him was that he can

merge the infrastructure companies he bought from the system mall into one whole.

With this merger, not only did their capabilities expand, but their efficiency skyrocketed!

Now, they could tackle any construction project on the planet in just six months to a year.

Plus, the infrastructure company came fully equipped with all the construction tools and machinery needed, no extra hassle for Arthur at all!

He seamlessly integrated the infrastructure company into the Osborn Real Estate and Construction Group's existing subsidiary.

Rather than laying off the existing employees, Arthur decided to keep them on board; after all, they could assist with minor projects without stepping on anyone's toes from the newly infrastructure company he bought from the system mall.

But that wasn't all, Arthur also ramped up security for his family.

Each member of the Osborn clan now has at least five elite bodyguards keeping watch over them.

The higher-ups like Julian enjoy even more protection, boasting five special forces-grade guards along with ten elite bodyguards by their sides.

Even the kids still in school have discreet protection; every family member is covered!

The mansion's security received a significant boost too.

After everything that went down with the Sterling Family, Arthur learned that it's better to be safe than sorry.

He ensured that even their cars are military-grade, complete with bulletproof glass and top-notch materials, nothing but the best for his family!

He specifically instructed Oscar to customize vehicles for each important family member, including a designated bus-like ride for the children going to school.

In fact because of the an innovative idea struck him: he asked

Evolon to designed unique bus like car so that the children in the family can take to school.

With all the strategic maneuvers underway, the Osborn family was making remarkable strides in solidifying their industrial chain,almost halfway to completion!

Arthur had his eyes set on several key sectors: Osborn Real Estate and Construction Group, Osborn Technology, Osborn Mining and Resource Group, and Osborn Heavy Industries.

Among these, Osborn Technology and Heavy Industries stood out as critical players in his ambitious projects.

Why are these industries so pivotal? Well, for Arthur's two major projects to succeed, they depended heavily on these sectors.

The Real Estate and Construction Group would oversee the development of the projects, while the Mining and Resource Group would ensure a steady supply of essential materials like steel and aluminum.

But it didn't stop there; Osborn Technology was crucial for producing advanced components like chips for the HyperRail-X and HyperRail-X Express.

Arthur took decisive action by having Julian acquire companies specializing in chip manufacturing.

He even traced back to their material sources, semiconductors, silicon, photolithography materials, the works!

While he could purchase some technologies from system malls, he knew that having control over raw materials was non-negotiable; they couldn't afford to rely on anyone else.

Osborn Heavy Industries played a vital role too, they were responsible for manufacturing the HyperRail-X Express trains.

To bolster this division, Oscar was tasked with acquiring more than ten train manufacturing companies while also securing their material sources.

In Arthur's eyes, leaving any loose ends could spell disaster; he wanted to eliminate any chance for competitors or adversaries to sabotage their efforts.

The goal? A tightly-knit industrial chain under the firm grasp of the Osborn family, no outsourcing materials or dependencies on external suppliers allowed!

And all of this was executed discreetly; after all, if others caught wind of their plans, they might do everything possible to thwart them.

As time passed and with relentless effort from everyone involved, the vision began to take shape: the industrial chain of the Osborn Family was finally secured!

They no longer needed outside suppliers; every link in their supply chain was firmly established.

For instance: The Osborn Media and Entertainment Group acquired cinemas across major cities in the Aurelian Federation, at least ten to fifteen cinemas per city!

Even smaller towns weren't left out; they ensured cinema access everywhere.

Their presence extended beyond just entertainment, they established flagship stores, 4S shops (for automotive sales), convenience stores, and supermarkets throughout the country!

In short, the Osborn Family now boasts an unbreakable supply chain with comprehensive sales channels across various industries.

Arthur left no stone unturned, no dead ends or loopholes remained!
