Chapter 415: Chapter 302: Trading Stocks and Becoming a Shareholder..._2

Sean Knight immediately took photos of those documents with his mobile phone and sent them all to Richard Churchill.

About half an hour later, Richard called Sean, excitedly saying:

"Mr. Knight, I’ve sent the stuff over to the department. They’ve given a preliminary appraisal and said there’s no problem! I might even be able to take this opportunity to travel abroad in the next couple of days!"

"I’ll be waiting here for your grand arrival, then."

After hanging up the phone, Sean felt much more relaxed.

This trip not only found the treasure and made money but also punished the swindlers, which was quite a satisfying experience.

Sean didn’t expect the domestic efficiency to be so fast. The second day, Richard and two staff members, a man and a woman, arrived in Jakarta.

"Because you called me first, I became the team leader," Richard explained over the phone to Sean.

He no longer addressed Sean as Mr. Knight - Sean felt that listening to such a form of address was too strange and impersonal.

Of course, the biggest reason was that he hadn’t made the mental shift - he still thought he was the second son in Knight Family back in the village.

But in the eyes of others, he had already become a billionaire, as well as a mysterious person capable of finding and returning several national treasure-level items to the country.

How could someone not be cautious when dealing with such a person?

"Richard, let’s deal with business first and then pleasure," Sean said, inviting the three of them into his room:

"Let’s get the stuff handed over first. That way, I can relax and then take you guys around here. Although I’m not a local boss, I’ve been living here for a few days and am somewhat familiar with the place."

Although they were handling official business this time, due to Sean’s special circumstances, all three of them were dressed casually and came in a private capacity, not to be made public.

"Alright, alright." Richard immediately introduced to Sean:

"These two are staff members from the department, Noah Sinclair and Luna Chen. Their main job is to handle the handover and then find a local Chinese business association to sell the related assets."

Sean handed over the stack of documents and said:

"There’s also a sum of money in the account, I need you to provide a suitable account, and I’ll transfer the money over, then this matter will be settled. Oh, and I’ll need a receipt in the end."

These were various production certificates, procedures, bonds, stocks, and the like.

Sean felt justified in giving up these things, while the people who received them were extremely cautious.

Originally, Sean was worried that they might suspect him of pocketing some for himself, but nothing like that happened.

The handover process took some time, but Sean didn’t need to be involved anymore.

After transferring the cash, Sean got the receipt and breathed a sigh of relief.

Richard chuckled and said:

"Others would be secretly rejoicing in their hearts when holding onto such a huge amount of assets. When they give it up, they’d naturally be reluctant. But you, on the contrary, seem to be relieved when you give it up."

"I don’t need this money. My own money is enough to spend. But these things in my hands are burning!" Sean said:

"Alright, now the stuff is in your hands, I believe you can handle it well. It’s none of my business anymore. Let’s go, Richard, let me show you around this place."

"Let’s do it tomorrow, I can’t do it today," Richard shook his head: "We still need to get these things processed, and we have to rely on the locals to handle it."

"Alright then." Sean thought for a moment, called Elijah Hastings and the other two, and said, "Richard, these are my brothers who came with me for this business. Elijah Hastings, Lincoln Harrington, and Douglas Cooper."

He asked Elijah:

"Which of you is familiar with the process of transferring and selling assets? Just help them deal with it."

Douglas raised his hand: "I’m fairly familiar with it."

He had been in contact with the local gray forces these days, which made handling these matters easier.

"Then it’s you!"

Richard carefully looked at the three of them and then said: "You guys...have all served in the army, right?"

Sean laughed, it seemed that Elijah and the others hadn’t yet shed that special quality. It wasn’t obvious to ordinary people, but it was clear to a veteran like Richard at a glance.

Since they were veterans, they instantly became acquainted.

That day, Sean went for a tour around Jakarta. He wouldn’t have many opportunities to come back in the future. Setting aside some thoughts and cultural factors, there were still some things worth seeing here.

The second day, before Sean could find Richard, Richard came to find him.

"Brother, I need to ask you for a favor."

Sean thought to himself, please don’t bother me, I really hate trouble.

Of course, he couldn’t say that. He asked:

"What’s the matter?" No choice, he couldn’t take care of everything.

"Those two islands, the small one is already sold, after all, it has tourist resources and investment value. But the big one is not selling, as it’s off the shipping route and there’s no information, the entire island is a mountain..."

Sean Knight frowned and took out his mobile phone to look at the map.

The big island was close to the nine-dotted line, with a length and width of several kilometers, all covered in mountains.

On the map, it was just a small dot, but in reality, it had dozens of square kilometers of area.

Such a big island should have been worth a lot of money.

"There are no mineral resources on the island, it’s not a famous fishing ground nearby, and it’s not on the shipping route, so no one wants it."

Richard Churchill sighed and said:

"Now other assets have already found buyers, but just this island - brother, can you help to find contacts, even if we have to sell it at a lower price? Otherwise, countless swindled people’s money won’t come back..."

Sean Knight looked at the map, thinking for a moment, and said:

"If it’s not possible, sell the island to me."

Richard Churchill was startled when he heard this and pulled Sean Knight aside, speaking softly:

"Brother, let me remind you, this island isn’t cheap! Besides, its location is awkward: locals don’t dare to invest, and outsiders can’t buy it - it has no investment value, so why do you want to buy it?"

"How expensive is it? I remember back then that Edward Tomlinson bought the island for 70 million US dollars - if it’s that price, then I won’t buy. He offered that price with the intention of paying protection fees."

"It’s definitely not that much." Richard Churchill replied, "Experts have evaluated it; the actual price of the island is around 30 million US dollars."

"How many years of property rights?" Sean Knight asked a question he felt was key.

"Ninety-nine years. It’s private. But it can be renewed later - however, it must be purchased by a local."

Sean Knight immediately thought of Oliver Brooks, and said with a smile:

"If it’s 30 million, then I can afford it. I’ll buy it, renovate it, and treat it as a private island. I won’t develop it, just buy it to be the island master."

Seeing Sean Knight so casually agreeing to buy the island, Richard Churchill didn’t say much and went in to speak with the department staff.

Sean Knight then called Oliver Brooks and told him about the matter.

He believed that Oliver would help him out with this.

Sure enough, Oliver agreed, even feeling grateful that Sean trusted him.

Once the procedures were completed, Sean asked Richard Churchill:

"Big brother Richard, do you have any construction company to recommend to me?"

"Are you planning to do construction on the island?" Richard guessed.

"Yeah, I plan to flatten the island, at least clear a runway where small planes can land, and then build a few more floors or something."

Since he bought it, he didn’t care about spending more money.

Sean Knight had enough money and nowhere to spend it, so this was perfect.

"Of course! The provincial construction department has no shortage of projects, but the construction companies in the cities below and some private companies are lacking large projects."

Thinking of the mountain on the island, Richard paused: "But your island is a bit big, let me go and ask around."

Sean had already extended an olive branch, asking about domestic construction companies - this was planning to take care of hometown enterprises, how could Richard not understand?

"Please help me with that, big brother Richard. The qualifications should be good and the technology excellent, money is not the problem."

It’s just a matter of an oil painting!

If it came to it, even two paintings would do!

Richard suddenly felt like Sean’s level had gone up a notch.

This guy is a keeper!

Patriotic, sentimental, rich, caring about hometown, not greedy... Does he have a girlfriend? His daughter seems to be only a few years younger than him, right? Although she’s still studying at university, it’s not impossible to start talking now, right?

Sean didn’t know that Richard was already thinking about turning him into his son-in-law and continued saying:

"I plan to make this place one of my bases. So the architectural style will naturally be domestic. This kind of thing could involve just one main party."

"No problem, I’ll call and ask later. There must be plenty of companies willing to do it."
