“What you want to win is a person’s heart, and the best method is to help them out. There’s no reason to refuse to increase their income, but those entrepreneurs…” Jeremy had only figured out a part of the plan.

Casper said, “Of course, we’ve got to bribe them as well. Humans are like that. Imagine this. At first, you force them to give you three thousand every month. Then, one day, you suddenly ask them for only one thousand that month. Of course, they’ll feel happy and be grateful to you.”

He then asked the three men to enter his office. “Besides, that’s not the only reason I’m lowering the protection money. Sooner or later, our association will be exposed to the public. I don’t want our members to be outlaws for the rest of their lives.”

Pointing at some parts of the paper, he continued, “Moreover, this reduction of income is only temporary. Our focus is to get control over all the entertainment sites and stop being easily satisfied with briberies earned from extortion. Our ultimate goal is to have control over them. Even if we can’t take over some major companies, we’ve got to get their shares.”

Stallion widened his eyes. “What? That should cost a lot, right? At least tens of millions?”

Casper’s lips curled into a smile. “We don’t have to spend so much. Jeremy, from today onward, I need you to put all of your attention into another task.”

“What is it?”

“Getting rid of people. I want you to get rid of the pests in our association. Those who privately take bribes, embezzle the funds, disobey orders, and those who are useless; get rid of them all at once. The association only needs elites now.”

“Okay. To be honest, I already knew about all these, but I never mentioned them to you. Well, I guess it’s a great opportunity for me to straighten things out,” Jeremy agreed.

“But what does that have to do with us taking control over the companies?” Stallion was still puzzled.

“Once they’re in trouble, they’ll naturally come looking for us. When that happens, we’ll have the freedom of naming our price,” explained Casper.

After saying that, he leaned against the office chair. He was going to the Antique Fair later. Thus, he was going to seize the time to get some rest.
