Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

"What took so long? I'm pretty sure they would have dived here with special forces if we delayed any longer" Sarah said immediately after they entered her office.

"I had to solve some problems" He answered while sitting down.

"Have you managed to solve them?"

"Yeah and here is the hard drive." He said as he removed a hard disk from his backpack and put it on the table.

"Are you alright with this?" She asked Aron wondering how come he didn't seem angered by this.

"I'm frustrated by this situation, but unfortunately, our current lack of strength prevents us from taking any action to prevent it. Companies such as Google and others spend over a billion dollars each year on lobbying efforts, while our own company hasn't even been in existence for that long."

Aron said but then he added.

"That's why I'm looking for ways to make sure something like this never happened again"

"Mh…"Sarah nodded in agreement as she has also been looking for ways to do the same but other than lobbying there seemed to be no other reliable ways.

"How much cash will the company have by the end of the year?" Aron asked after a few seconds of calming down.

"If our subscription service of BugZapper continue to have the same number of subscribers we will have about 15 billion dollars minus other expenses and taxes" Sarah answered while looking at the financial statement from the accounting department

"Do you plan to use some of it for lobbying?" She asked.

"No, I wanted to know how much there is, so that I can decide the amount of dividend that would be paid."

"Sure. What about the release of the subscription for GAIA OS? "she asked.

"How many users do we have now?"

"We expect to reach the needed 2 billion by midnight" Replied Sarah.

"The release will be done automatically the moment that number is reached as I had programmed it in when I made the OS" He replied assuring her.

"How do you plan to release it?" She said after looking at the calendar.

"Since today is the 25th of November I will make it a free trial to all levels for the premium version until Dec 1st, that's when we will officially start accepting premium subscription." He said.

"Are you trying to show them the advantages of a premium GAIA OS to increase the chances of more people upgrading to it?"

"You know what they say, actions speak louder than words. If people enjoy using our premium OS during the free trial, they'll want to upgrade sooner or later. And some of them can even make money by selling their own custom UIs. And Influencers will act as our marketers as they will add the OS customization as a part of their merch . Then their fans will have to become premium users to get access to the UI customization feature."

They continued to talk more but since he had already finished what he came to do.

After half an hour of small talks, he bid her farewell and left the office.

....

When he returned home he went to his workroom.

He said "Nova, now that I have nothing getting on my way let's officially start our job." as he sat down in front of the computer.

[Always ready Sir] replied nova as the screen lit up.

"Now look for countries with poor economic, military but also are in a dictatorship like situation"

[Yes Sir] Said Nova and started looking for countries that fit the criteria.

[Here is the list Sir] Said Nova while displaying the list on the screen

[

North Korea: North Korea has been under a dictatorship since its formation in 1948. It has a poor economy and military, and is heavily isolated from the rest of the world due to its aggressive policies.

Zimbabwe: Zimbabwe has been under the rule of Robert Mugabe since 1980, and his regime has been accused of numerous human rights violations. The country has struggled economically and militarily for many years.

Syria: Syria has been under the rule of Bashar al-Assad since 2000. The country has been embroiled in a civil war since 2011, which has severely damaged its economy and military capabilities.

Eritrea: Eritrea has been under the rule of President Isaias Afwerki since 1993. The country has a poor economy and is heavily militarized, with compulsory national service for all citizens.

Sudan: Sudan has been under the rule of President Omar al-Bashir since 1989. The country has been beset by conflict and economic turmoil, with widespread poverty and political repression.

After Aron looked at the list again he said

"Anonymously send each of the country names to separate private investigators and provide them with a front payment of half a million each.

Instruct them to gather detailed information on the countries' economies, security, and political situations.

Don't forget to tell them, The more information they gather, the more money they will receive when they are done."

[Yes Sir]

After receiving the instruction, Nova quickly located a list of the most reputable private investigators and selected four of them.

He emailed the investigators the list of country names, along with detailed instructions on what to investigate.

In addition, Nova included information on an offshore bank account that had been created under a false identity, each containing half a million dollars as a front payment for the investigation.

After about minutes Nova finished and informed Aron [Sir it's done]

Good and now we wait.
