Chapter 320 - 177: I’ve Read Too Many Books for You to Fool Me (Second Update, 600+ Monthly Tickets)
Justus Spencer already heard two people mention the company’s computers being moved earlier. He quickly asked, "They not only shut down the company, but took away the computers too. What about the projects Joyce Shaw was working on?!"Thomas hated this matter the most. He slammed the table and said, "I was just trying to get data from his computer. Then the police showed up and cut the power, disrupting my connection!"
"...You can log in remotely?" Justus frowned. "Can you still access it now?"
"Now?! Of course not now! Are you an idiot?! I used to log in remotely because his computer was connected to our company’s network! Now they’ve taken the computer away, can you connect to the police network?! And even if you could, do you know if they will connect our computers to the internet?!"
"If there’s a physical disconnection, even God can’t get in!"
Thomas roared, extremely furious.
When Joyce Shaw got into trouble, he was busy dealing with the aftermath and forgot to download things from Joyce’s computer first.
At this point, he didn’t yet know that Joyce had already formatted his computer multiple times with a virus.
However, Thomas also knew that handling the aftermath was the most important thing; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stand and rant at Justus Spencer.
Justus Spencer walked around the office with his phone and resolutely said, "I’m going to tell my dad and then head north."
"Tell your dad?" Thomas rolled his eyes. "Do you really want your dad to know about this? Don’t you want your CEO position anymore?"
"... It’s not that serious, right?" Justus said sheepishly. "My dad only has one son. If he doesn’t pass the position to me, who else could he give it to? Moreover, I want to find my dad because he knows many people and has broad connections in the north."
"Don’t bother." Thomas firmly refused. "Victory Wise Corporation was entirely built by you, it’s your direct line. When something goes wrong, you need to come forward to handle it. That way you truly win people’s hearts. Don’t worry, don’t directly intervene on the northern side, get your eldest sister or second sister, let them take the lead."
"Remember, you are the CEO of Spencer Group’s head company. Unless absolutely necessary, don’t speak out. Otherwise, if you make a mistake, you won’t have any room for maneuver."
Thomas advised earnestly, appearing quite knowledgeable.
"That’s why we must have a professional PR spokesman hold the press conference. Because if something goes wrong, we can just blame the spokesperson."
Justus suddenly understood, patting his forehead and laughing: "Brilliant! Truly brilliant! Thomas, I didn’t know you had such a deep understanding of the business world!"
Thomas laughed, "You’re flattering me. I’ve only studied psychology, I know what ordinary people might think. Plus, doing artificial intelligence, I need to understand how the human brain thinks. It’s not considered business knowledge."
"Humble, too humble!" Justus cheered up, "So what should we do about the acquisition?"
Thomas recalled that Joyce Shaw had sent him some visual restoration videos before, the effects were very good. Although the rest is a lot, in essence, it should not differ.
The core parts are already in their grasp. At most, they’ll spend some time doing it again.
The original data acquired by their people, he stored in his cloud account.
Even if the police took his computer, it was useless, his confidential data was never stored on the company computers.
So Thomas said calmly, "Regarding the acquisition, if you handle Joyce’s matter well, it will yield twice the result with half the effort. So you need to find a PR person to help shield you. This person doesn’t need to be too smart nor too capable but must be obedient and useful to you, understand?"
Justus immediately said, "I understand, I will prepare now."
He hung up the phone, thought things through for a while in the office, and then called Spring Spencer in with the internal line.
Spring Spencer answered the phone, came to his office, and asked tiredly, "Mr. Spencer, what’s up? I have a meeting to attend soon."
Justus looked at her, sighed, and said, "Spring, we have big trouble."
"Big trouble?" Spring Spencer raised her eyebrow in confusion, "I don’t understand."
"It’s like this..." Justus explained the situation with Joyce Shaw first, then mentioned that the local police had sealed the doors of Victory Wise Corporation and confiscated all the computers. Finally, he said, "...we have to decide on the acquisition matter soon. I have reason to suspect that a competitor is targeting us."
Spring Spencer widened her eyes in shock and said, "Brother, why would you think that?! Right now Victory Wise’s employee is in trouble, you should immediately go to comfort the employees and their families! —At this point, you’re still thinking about the acquisition, is your brain soaked?!"
