Tonight at the Rock Family residence.
Marvin Rock answered the phone. “Yes, by myself.” There was a subtle vibration on the other end of the phone. "We, from Ferum Group, Northice, are interested in buying MR-25 products. We have prepared fifty billion dollars for business over the next five years.” And this is the eighth offer received. Previously, there were five investors who had invested enormous funds, a total of one hundred billion dollars. And there are three buyers, including this last one, which has also touched hundreds of billions of dollars. Why are so many entrepreneurs working in the energy sector, especially electricity, so interested in the MR-25? What's the secret? Actually MR-25 is just a term. Marvin Rock discovered the chemical compound at the age of 25. Initially, Marvin discovered a new chemical element on his own family's land, then he gave it the name Glorisium. Glorisium is somewhat similar to coal. After going through a complicated process, Glorisium is reacted with other chemical elements, thus forming the compound MR-25. It is known that 1 kilogram of uranium is capable of producing electrical energy equivalent to the energy produced by 9000 drums of fuel or 3000 tons of coal. As much as 1 kilogram of uranium can produce 1000 Megawatts of power for one year. After doing extensive research in his private laboratory, Marvin obtained an important and surprising note that one kilogram of MR-25 is equivalent to ten kilograms of uranium. In other words, MR-25 is ten times better than uranium in terms of generating electricity. There are still many advantages that exist in MR-25 compared to uranium, such as cheaper costs, if uranium per kilo is around 150 dollars, then MR-25 is only 50 dollars per kilo. In addition, MR-25 is much safer and environmentally friendly. In essence, Marvin's MR-25 findings are safer than using coal and more economical than using uranium. Rock Electra has received official permission from the government to use the MR-25 for a long period of time, where it previously used coal as fuel. Therefore, from now on Rock Electra will not depend at all on coal from Harvard Corp.Marvin took a sip of his black coffee, then turned his face to his father and said firmly, "Dad, we will sever employment relations with all companies owned by Harvard Corp." Werner corrected his sitting position and replied, “For years we have kept our hearts under their armpits. Thank goodness we'll be out of their hands." Werner breathed a sigh of relief. Her face beamed. Marvin knows that Harvard Corp is smart at lobbying the government, citing regulations from the authorities, they act as they please, including suppressing and limiting several small companies in many sectors. For decades Rock Electra has been suppressed by many unclear regulations from the government, where these regulations only benefit two parties, namely Harvard Corp and of course the government itself. For example, sixty percent of the fuel supply in the city of Gloriston must be provided by Harvard Corp, and this strange rule was made by the government, of course after carrying out under-the-table transactions first. The great case is that the MR-25 was mistaken for a material for a tool of mass destruction. Harvard Corp has twenty-five companies operating in the energy sector, such as oil, gas, coal, nuclear, electricity, biomass and others. Because their backing is the government, no one dares to harass them. However, the only business opponent worthy of them in the country of Chemisland is The Oxy. The owners of The Oxy are the Wilmer Family. The total wealth of The Oxy is trillions of dollars and almost equivalent to the Harvard Family. However, because there is no backing from the government, The Oxy only disburses its money outside the capital city of Gloriston, namely in Iron Town, Aurum Village, and several other areas in Chemisland. Even the Wilmer Family was helpless against the arrogance and cunning of the Harvard Family. This discussion was already very ripe in Marvin's mind. From a young age he grew up in Gloriston and was brought up in a family of businessmen. He knew very well the character of the Harvard Family. "I want a change, Father," he said confidently. His eyes are bold. Werner smiled happily when he heard those words. He said, "From childhood, our family was very confident that you would not only bring change to our small family, but would bring big change to this country." Hearing that, Marvin was moved. Since childhood, he dreamed of making the Rock Family very prominent in Chemisland, becoming the richest family and respected by the people of the country. Chemisland is a country where almost all of its business sector is energy. This country is rich in natural resources such as, water, gold, tin, uranium, iron and many more. Foreign countries have always relied on Chemisland for all their needs, such as fuel, electricity and even clean water. The country of Chemisland is very rich. In the living room of his family residence, Marvin took a deep breath, then said, “This country is ruled by one dirty capitalist. I don't like the Harvard Family style. They are like kings in Chemisland.” Marvin gave an expression of displeasure. “Father will leave it to you, Marvin. May your dreams come true. Prove to the Harvard Family that they are unfit to rule over Chemisland.” Marvin's dream was soon to be fulfilled. When investors and buyers from abroad had spent huge amounts of money to take advantage of the MR-25, that was the beginning of a big win. Werner was very surprised, "This is the first time there have been transactions of more than tens of billions or even hundreds of dollars in two days for just one product." Werner looked proudly at his son. “You are everyone's hope, Marvin!” Marvin didn't want to be arrogant in front of the people who had raised and educated him. “Because of Father, I can be like this. "Everything I do is for the sake of our small family here, and for the other Big Rock Families who have been successful, both in Chemisland and abroad." Despite being constantly flattered, Marvin continued to keep a low profile. “I am very grateful to Mom and Dad for making me like this. Allow me to repay you for all your services, even though until I die I will never repay you in kind." Werner was deeply moved by this. “You're just like your great-grandfather, Rocky Rock. Although very instrumental, but always humble. You, Marvin Rock, are the successor, the hope, to bring the Rock Family name to number one!” Marvin's spirits burned. His chest was pounding. He got up, knelt in front of his father, then said softly and gently, "I promise to give the best for the Rock Family!"In the morning, Marvin woke up at six o'clock, he sat on the bed, rubbed his eyes and collected himself. Then he stood up and moved the curtains in his room. A ray of bright morning light had dazzled his eyes. The man, who is one hundred and eighty centimeters tall and weighs seventy five kilograms, is quite athletic. Because he has a sharp nose, sharp chin, thick eyebrows, beautiful eyes, Marvin is really handsome. His hair is close-cropped like an office person, even though he hasn't showered, it's still neat. Today, there will be many surprises.At the Rock family home, it was a quiet night.Marvin took another sip of his coffee, then said to Varez, "You're still the most accomplished man at that time. You're number one, man!"Varez looked away and watched the trees from this balcony. "Grades are useless if you don't have skills, experience, and money. I'm just a petrol station worker, and I'm stuck at the head of the shift. I'm not reliable."Varez even went so far as to regret his studies. He thought it was useless to go to school for years and end up as a petrol station worker. What he had learnt so far was a waste.There were many reasons why Varez was not as successful as his classmates, apart from the fact that he had no money and no insiders. Despite being highly intelligent, Varez didn't have great verbal skills. He knows theories and formulas by heart, but when it comes to dealing with big people, he's clumsy and nervous.If asked to speak in public, he would be shy and trembling. Varez tends to work in jobs that don
Flashback on. Once upon a time at Gloriston University. When most of them were eighteen years old.Around the campus park, Varez was picking up the pieces of his broken glasses."You're a geeky guy! You should be at home shooting with your dad," said one of the dark-haired men."We both can't get over the fact that you won't give us money. And what's worse, when we ask you to write down our homework, you violently refuse," chimed in the other blonde."If you had obeyed, we wouldn't have bullied you, you idiot!" the dark-haired man who had picked up Varez's glasses and thrown them, now stomped on them again, shattering them even more.Varez was pushed hard enough that he fell backwards. Thud! His body hit the garden fence. "Aghr!" Varez winced in pain. He didn't dare to retaliate, because if he put up a fight, he would be finished like yesterday.The two bullies had been beating his body all semester. The reason was because Varez was quiet and seemed stiff. Even though Varez sometimes
"You're just a disgraceful ex-con!" Raymond screamed in anger.Harven Rockwell could not contain his emotions. He approached Raymond and grabbed him by the neck. "You've been talking out of your arse. You disrespected the host and the other guests."Before anything untoward happened, the people in the neighbourhood broke it up. Harven was furious. He had been patient. Especially when he recalled that Raymond was the culprit for the slander against his brother.Harven grinned angrily. "You're the accuser! Because of you, my brother is in jail!" Harven struggled from the hugs and embraces of the people.The audience's emotions rose again. A show that shakes emotions, fluctuates.But not for the two extended families. Derick and his in-laws were concerned about the chaos.Russel was also on edge from earlier as he watched Mr Warren pretentiously blabbing away to his heart's content.Only able to surrender, Freya is speechless.Marvin regained control of the stage. "To Mr Warren Harvard a
Raymond turned round and squinted, then howled loudly, "My father is right! How can the Rock Family, especially the ones living in Gloriston, own Rockxill with a value of hundreds of billions of dollars. If they've been in debt to us all this time, then how can they own Rockxill? It's impossible!"Now all attention was on the father and son.Mr Warren Harvard was quite distinctive today because of his lively appearance. On all his fingers were a dozen rings, ranging from silver to gold to diamonds. In the middle of the skull motif on the middle finger, there is an expensive stone of hundreds of thousands of dollars that is as colourful as a rainbow.Mr Warren Harvard deliberately crossed his arms over his chest and showed off everything. All the jewellery on his fingers could buy a luxury villa plus everything inside. Mr Warren Harvard proudly stood up and puffed out his chest."Which bank would lend the Rock Family hundreds of billions of dollars?" Mr Warren asked and snorted in disg
Zavier, who had just wanted to sit in a chair at the back, stood up. He was asked to come forward and sit next to Marvin Rock. At this moment, Zavier was very awkward when sitting right next to his boss.As instructed by Marvin, Zavier was not to make much noise during the programme. Zavier must not tell anyone about the owner of Rockxill.That was the reason why Marvin forbade inviting the Wilmer Family here. The people who knew that the owner of Rockxill was Marvin were obviously the Wilmers, like Ethelyne.Russell brought his face closer to the mic again. "He is Mr Zavier! The President Director of Rockxill! He is far more meritorious and deserving of respect than the Harvard Family. Applause for him!"Excitement erupted around the garden.Those who shared the Harvard Family's views were delighted to hear Russel's outburst, especially those who hated the Harvard Family's arrogance.There were whispers among them."We better follow the Winston Family's lead, break away from the Harv
Raymond pointed at him. "Stop talking!" he howled angrily.Russel Winston straightened his shoulders and retorted, "I'm talking facts. Not slander.""You!" Raymond growled angrily."Ladies and gentlemen, you should also know that my brother-in-law, Marvin Rock, is not a terrorist. He was slandered into going to jail. I was one of the people instigated, and the instigator was Raymond Harvard!"Everyone was even more dumbfounded.Whispers among them filled the entire garden.Russel said this because he finally realised that Marvin Rock was innocent. He admitted that he had been wrong all along. In fact, Russel did not know who Marvin Rock really was.What would happen if Russel knew who Marvin really was?Mr Warren Harvard told his son to sit down immediately. Although Mr Warren was currently emotional, he couldn't let his anger out because after all, he was a guest here. Unlike Raymond who couldn't control his emotions, Mr Warren was still calm.Mr Warren thought that it was impossible
