13 Protective Nature (1/2)

Heinz is an American food processing company based in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

It was founded in the 1870s by Henry John Heinz.

Even with its current growth, returning almost 30% annually, buying out the company shouldn't be all that difficult, considering the total capitals of Chrono Holdings.

In fact, Chrono Holdings controls about 23% of Heinz. It could have been more, but the food company is on the list of low priority, unlike Microsoft and Apple.

Heinz only comes into attention because Antigone seems to love the food the company produces.

As that is the case, I will take control of the company to ensure the food Antigone loves will always be available.

Alright, I suppose I might be spoiling her a little.

Regardless, I still need a food company to dominate the Agriculture Sector.

Heinz will do.

I recall that Heinz will merge with Kraft Foods in the future, forming Kraft Heinz.

Selene informs me that it is around 2015 – a long, long way away.

It might not even happen since the future will drastically change from now on, especially when Atlantis starts to sell its technology to the highest bidder – Chrono Holdings.

”Buy out Kraft Foods too and merge the two companies into one, call it Kraft Heinz Incorporated.”

Henry furrows his brows at my order.

Heinz is multi-billion dollars food processing company with a long history. Kraft is also one. To buy out such a company will cause a massive wave in the food industry. And buying out two at the same time will cause a tsunami.

”Is that wise, Mr. Maxwell?”

Henry relays what he was thinking. If anyone take notice of us two from far away, it looks like he is my mentor, giving me advice.

This is due to my appearance.

I am a young man in his twenties.

But looks can be deceiving.

”It will not be a problem. Shall we have a drink to go with those as well?”

I ask, thinking about buying out the Coca-Cola company as well.

But in the end, I decide against it. Too many mergers at the same times will only cause chaos.

Henry and I talk about personal things for the rest of afternoon. He isn't just my employee. He can be considered a friend, and it has been years since we last catch up.

”Enjoy your time in Hollywood, Mr. Maxwell. It has change greatly since the time my wife was there, but you will find it out yourself. I must be going now. The paparazzies will be here soon. I don't want them to be a bother to you.”

I nod and allow him to leave.

As for his wife, she is Marilyn Monroe.

She didn't die like she supposes to in 1962, but she did give up the glamour of being a movie star. Too much under the table dealings to her liking.

She couldn't recall all the men that she had to sleep with in order to advance her career.

Henry tells me all about it. The dark side of Hollywood.

I wonder how dark it truly is.

While Antigone taking her afternoon nap quietly, I have a look into the folder Henry has left for me.

It contains a lot of my personal information, including my passport.

The same with my daughter.

The information is all fabricated of course.

I wasn't born in 1970, and my daughter wasn't born to Margaret Maxwell, who died in childbirth.

Why is it always during childbirth?

Stop killing every female member of my bloodline through childbirth!

I realize Ambrosia would have also die during childbirth if I wasn't there.

Is there some kind of curse going on?

Ahem.

My nonexistence wife apparently has a grave in the cemetery close by, so I suppose I will have to pay her a visit one day.

It won't be weird at all.

The details of my company, Terra Entertainment, is also in the folder.

All its holdings and subsidiaries are also included in the information.

Out of all the subsidiaries available, I am currently interested in Terra Literature as I decided to go into book publishing first.
