MBD | Chapter 10

Just like the terms Industrial Revolution and IT Revolution, the Magic Stone Tech Revolution in this reincarnated world will also become a pivotal moment in history.

“If it really happens, the world will change. No, the way we make money itself will change. Especially in the military…”

The dynamics of war will change. My ultimate goal was war, but Graf would see the profits and numbers resulting from it. For now, that was enough.

“It’s an absurd story, but I must be crazy for not thinking it’s absurd.”

“You must have invested quite a bit in Magic Stone Tech too, right?”

“I thought it would work, but I didn’t expect it to be this much. This shakes the very foundation of industry.”

If things went as Everhart said, it would be an enormous event that could affect not just industries but entire countries or continents.

“What will you do if I refuse?”

“It would be unfortunate, but I’d have to find someone else just as talented.”

Recruiting Graf was the best option, but Everhart’s plan wouldn’t fall apart without him. Graf was slightly taken aback by Everhart’s feigned nonchalance.

Soon, Graf realized that Everhart was confident about something.

“I have one question.”

“What is it?”

“Your plan is certainly groundbreaking. But that’s all it is.”

Usually, when presenting a vision, people tend to boast about the next steps. And those plans are mostly absurd hopes.

Everhart deliberately only shared the necessary information for Graf to notice. Graf strongly felt that Everhart was hiding something.

Instead of answering, Everhart just smirked. It was as if he was saying, “It’s up to you to figure it out.”

Graf took it as a positive sign.

“I only share my next steps with my people.”

At the right moment, Everhart threw in a line, and Graf spoke up, feeling provoked.

“I’ll do it. Let’s sign the contract. What should I call you from now on?”

“For now, just call me CEO.”

“Eventually, you’ll be Chairman.”

Of course, I don’t plan to be satisfied with just one company, EberTech. Do you know how massive the money and resources needed for war are?

This won’t be enough to handle a money-eating monster.

‘This is where Karl Heinrich’s biggest flaw comes out.’

To weaken the power of the five great families, he tore the industry apart too much. You can’t do that if you want to wage war.

‘Eventually, I’ll absorb all the institutional industries run by the five great families into the Friedrich family.’

By then, the Everhart family won’t be just a family; it’ll be the Everhart conglomerate.

‘Heh, if I hold all the institutional industries, Karl Heinrich won’t be able to kill me easily.’

And if I offer it to him and secure a position by his side, and then win the war, wouldn’t it be a happy ending for everyone?

Leonard Graf signed the contract without a moment’s hesitation.

“Congratulations on becoming the CEO of EberTech.”

“Thank you.”

Everhart ordered the most expensive champagne via room service and shared it with Graf.

“It may be modest now, but it’ll be different later.”

“Champagne from the CEO is more than enough. What more do I need? By the way, can I see the materials related to EberTech?”

“Of course.”

Everhart handed over all the materials and future plans related to EberTech to Graf, as he had anticipated.

How well could Kang Woojin, a military man, write a general report?

Graf reviewed the documents and discussed various things, including what needed to be revised. As expected, he was undoubtedly a workaholic, diving straight into work discussions.

“I understand. I can handle everything else, but there’s a major flaw in this plan.”

“A flaw?”

“Capital.”

“What? It’s 20 million gold.”

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

This 20 million gold was the money that could barely be raised by disposing of the shares of Adelheid Textiles, the shares Everhart owned in companies under the Friedrich family, and all the land and assets in his name.

20 million gold meant an initial capital of 6 billion, and now it’s not enough? Really?

“Yes. It’s far from enough to execute the plan.”

“Roughly how much more?”

Everhart asked Graf, sweating nervously. This was unexpected.

“I need to calculate it precisely, but roughly 10 million Ardenrian Gold should be the minimum.”

10 million Ardenrian Gold?

He’s talking recklessly about someone else’s money.

Where am I supposed to suddenly get 3 billion?

I can’t even borrow…

Should I try borrowing?

A thought crossed Everhart’s mind.

Around this time, there’s an incident where young Bergent and the nobles are extorted for a massive amount of money.

The so-called ‘Dawn’s Light Cult Incident.’

Since they haven’t started their activities in earnest yet, I thought maybe I could use it to get 10 million gold.

To be precise, it’s not extortion, but support, but in any case, it’s borrowing in a good way.

Of course, 20 million gold didn’t just spring up from the ground. Everhart had already maxed out loans from the Eisenwald Central Bank and the Continental Bank, using shares and assets as collateral to raise this money.

No joke, there’s no more money to be found.

“With 20 million gold, how much of this plan can be executed?”

“About 70% seems possible. However, the profits will decrease accordingly.”

“Would it be difficult to raise it within a year?”

“As you know, investment is about timing. If you miss this opportunity, it might be difficult to achieve the expected profits.”

It wasn’t a small amount, but Graf explained that it was insufficient for achieving the goals outlined in the plan and for initial maintenance.

‘I didn’t expect this.’

When I anticipated 20 million gold, I didn’t think it would be lacking, or at most, it would be more than enough.

Even though Kang Woojin was an expert in the military field, he didn’t have detailed knowledge in management.

And in the novel, it just worked out?

Considering future plans, even if I invest all the money I earn, it won’t be enough, and I have no intention of stumbling from the start.

As expected of an eccentric, Graf was uncompromising when it came to money matters.

“I’ll get it. If not, I’ll sell Friedrich family land to make it, so don’t worry. There will be no changes to the plan.”

“It shouldn’t be that bad, but okay.”

Perhaps thinking they were on the same boat, Graf’s words and actions were certainly unrestrained.

Everhart handed Graf another briefcase.

“These are the bank accounts, passwords, and seals set up for the company.”

“I-I have a plan.”

In reality, it was just that while pulling money from here and there, the accounts became multiple, and I couldn’t consolidate them.

But knowing that it wouldn’t be cool, Everhart acted as if it was deliberate. Yes, a man has his pride.

The 20 million gold entrusted to Graf was no small amount.

In Korean currency, it’s about 6 billion won. Everhart answered calmly.

“If you run away, it just means my judgment of people was that poor. But even if that money disappears, the Friedrich family won’t go bankrupt.”

This money was only created in Everhart’s name.

Including assets that Everhart didn’t know about or were difficult to estimate, 20 million gold was nothing.
