”Hahahahahaha....” Viktor laughed out loud after hearing the story between Elena and Reyes.

”You seem to be enjoying yourself,” Elena said, her eyes twitching in annoyance.

”That is because it was funny,” Viktor said, still couldn’t control his laughter. ”Like, he already knew that you were screwing him over and he used that opportunity to demand one percent of your company as hush money. Brilliant move, really.”

Elena’s jaw tightened. ”Yes, it was a brilliant move from them. I didn’t expect they’d be that smart.”

”Of course, they’d be that smart, they have invented a plethora of revolutionary technologies after all,” Viktor stated. ”Anyways, speaking of their inventions, I have been thinking, how can a single person come up with all of that revolutionary technology? Like isn’t it suspicious?

I mean most of the technology he introduced is perfect, like it has never been tested on a large scale before, yet it works flawlessly. It’s almost as if he has access to something we don’t.”

Elena nodded, her frustration giving way to contemplation. ”I’ve thought about that too. Michael Reyes is either a genius beyond measure or he has some sort of advantage we’re not aware of.”

”It’s like he knew the future,” Viktor continued, leaning forward with a serious expression.

Elena looked at him thoughtfully. ”What are you suggesting? That he has some kind of secret technology or insider information that gives him this edge?”

”Okay, let’s not even consider that he is some sort from the future,” Viktor chuckled.

”What are you going to do, Mr. Gravsen? As far as I am concerned your enterprise is in clash with Mr. Reyes’s solar panels.”

”The hype surrounding his high-efficiency solar panels is starting to dwindle down, and the stocks of my company are slowly recovering. I’m not threatened by his solar panels anymore.”

”You are quite confident,” Elena observed.

”I am. But I didn’t come here to talk about Mr. Reyes, Mrs. Skies, I came here because I want you to get on with me on this company that has been working for over 7 years to revolutionize the gaming industry.”

”Gaming industry? How come a person like you who owns the largest oil company in the world be interested in venturing into the gaming industry?” Elena asked, genuinely curious.

”Dr. Patel sounds like a valuable asset,” Elena commented, writing his name down.

”And finally, there’s Sarah Johnson. She’s the creative genius behind our immersive experiences. She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a focus on interactive media and game design. She’s been leading projects that blend art and technology in ways that captivate users.”

Elena finished her notes. ”You’ve assembled quite the team. Their backgrounds are impressive, and I can see how they complement each other’s skills.”

”Exactly,” Viktor said. ”Together, they’ve created a synergy that’s pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in VR and AR. With your help, we can take VirtuReal Innovations to the next level.”

Elena leaned back, considering the information. ”Alright, Viktor. I’ll review the proposal when it arrives. If it’s as promising as you say, we might have a deal.”

Viktor extended his hand. ”I look forward to our collaboration, Elena.”

Elena shook his hand, sealing the preliminary agreement. ”So do I, Viktor. Let’s see what VirtuReal Innovations can achieve.”

Two weeks later, at Elena’s office, Viktor arrived carrying a stack of full documentation. He was greeted by Elena’s assistant and led to her office.

”Good to see you again, Viktor,” Elena said, standing to shake his hand.

”Likewise, Elena. I’ve brought all the details we discussed. The proposal, financial projections, and technical specifications,” Viktor said, placing the documents on her desk.

Elena sat back down and started flipping through the documents. ”I must say, your team has done an impressive job with this proposal. The financial projections look solid, and the technical specifications are quite advanced.”

”Thank you, Elena. They have worked tirelessly to ensure every detail is covered,” Viktor replied.

Elena nodded, continuing to read. ”I see the potential for this to revolutionize not just gaming, but also healthcare, education, and various other sectors.”

”That’s exactly what we aim to achieve,” Viktor said and added. ”Of course, money also.”

”Alright, I’m in.”
