The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 8

question. However he didn’t blame him. It was expected, as only the heirs to the Reid Consortium knew how much power and wealth they controlled. His grandfather didn’t answer his question. Instead he stood up and walked over to the mahogany desk where several documents were littered. He picked up two of the documents and walked back to the chair he was seated before. He handed over the documents to Darius before speaking. “The companies listed there are all under the Reid Consortium. I have more than 90% shares in each of those companies. As a student of Business Management, you should have seen most, if not all of those companies.” Darius looked at his grandfather briefly before turning his gaze to the documents in his hands. However, not even a second had passed before Darius jaw dropped. He was utterly flabbergasted! He had thought that nothing would be able to shock him again, but what he saw had completely blown his mind away. In the documents were several top companies in the world, with the least company ranked 70th in the world, and their yearly revenue. Groove Inc. was ranked 17th in the world with a yearly revenue of $300B! Darius never knew that the streaming platform where his ex-girlfriend’s dinner date with David was streamed live belonged to his family. Nix Inc. was ranked 7th in the world with a yearly revenue of $600B! That was twice the amount Groove Inc. made! Darius knew a lot about Nix Inc. He even made a research about them in his second year of university. As the leading company in technology and electrical gadgets, they were a globally acclaimed company. Their ranking alone spoke volumes about the wealth they had. They were also the tenth wealthiest company in the world, yet this document said that the Nix Inc. belonged to the Reid Consortium! There were also several widely acclaimed businesses on the list. The Reid Consortium didn’t just consist of companies alone. Wealthy districts, globally acclaimed luxury stores, top certified 10-star hotels, and several mineral mines and oil wells were all part of the Reid Consortium, with the Reid Consortium having more than 90% shares in each one of them! Darius felt his head spinning when he looked at the yearly revenue each of the businesses listed in the document. Hell some of the oil wells even made close to 1 trillion dollars yearly! Darius suddenly stopped looking at the list. He turned to his grandfather and asked a very important question. “Grandfather, what is the net worth of the Reid Consortium?” His Grandfather smiled before answering. “It’s been a while since I last bothered to check. The net worth keeps on increasing by more than 10 times the previous net worth the next day anyway.” Darius nodded. Basically his grandfather was saying that it was useless to ask. Their wealth was quite literally unlimited. Darius grandfather noticed that Darius had finished going through the documents he handed over to him. He cleared his throat loudly, drawing Darius attention to him. When he saw that Darius attention was fixated on him, he spoke up. “Darius, all those companies are no longer registered under my name.” Darius eyes widened. “What do you mean by that Grandfather?” Darius asked agitatedly. “Calm down Darius. The companies and businesses were under my name, because your father who was supposed to inherit them passed away too soon. Now I am just an
