A World Apart

Making Of A Billioanaire

Christian
I am working on my plans to build my company for a while. I just need to get my start up money. Dad has insisted I go to Harvard and get my degree and then he will allow me my trust fund.  Elliott is halfway through his courses and he plans on starting a construction company. Sam and Ruth are still working for my parents and Mia is keeping them quite busy. I have doubled up on my courses to get through all my required courses for my degree. I also found a possible COO for my company she is just as aggressive as I am. Roz Bailey is in the same boat about no start up funding and no degree. Where I have a trust fund she doesn't. I found a good company to buy and build upon but my dad refuses to turn loose of the money. I guess Sam heard me talking to Elliott and offered to invest in my ideas. So rather than the hundred thousand dollars he invested two hundred thousand and we made a deal that he would be given his initial investment plus a percentage back once I hit the five million mark. He and Ruth would own two percent of the company. Roz and I agreed to this stipulation and we had the paperwork drawn up.Roz and I walked across the stage to get our diplomas on the same day we became millionaires. My dad was thrilled. I have worked long hours and have had to hire security and body guards. I offered Sam a job and he decided to stay with my parents.
Carrick
I am very proud of Christian and Elliott. Both are running their own companies ground up and both graduated from college. Christian hasn't mentioned his trust fund since I refused to give him any of it until he got his diploma. How he started his company is a mystery he won't tell me how he got the money for the original purchase. He said that he found an investor and they wish to remain a silent investor and as such he can't divulge their names.

I was not happy with how Carrick handled the trust fund situation with Christian, but Christian got his money and he got his diploma. He also became a millionaire the day he graduated from Harvard. He has a COO who graduated from Harvard on the same day he did. It is amazing how Christian was able to build his company and get his degree as well.
Sam
Ruth and I went back and forth about the money we used to invest in Christians company. We finally worked something out with Christian and an attorney on how much we would invest and what return on it we would get. Christian returned our initial investment and we had two percent shares in the company after we received our initial cash plus ten percent interest. We now had a tiny part of a fast growing company.  Ruth and I knew Christian was going to do huge things and he has just began.

I have been working day and night on server almost huge deals that will possibly make my company worth a billion by year end. It has been a year since I graduated Harvard. Now I am hiring more security and my staff gets bigger and bigger. Background checks are ran on anyone having to do with us. I am having to hire someone to oversea security over the tech department. We also need translator support. I have been looking at the applications and background checks on the three Steele's for a bit. Something about the daughter looks familiar, but I can't figure out why. I have Taylor call the applicants in and have them hired. Make sure they all sign the NDAs and get them settled into their new positions right away.
Ray
All three of us were hired by GEH on the same day. We work in different departments and jobs entail different duties and we are paid very well. We will be working for a 22 year old Harvard graduate. He is taking the world by storm. People originally thought he was a flash in the pan until he hit his billionaire status. So we will be working in a huge growing company. I have been told he is hard to work for, but I figure someone who owns a company worth billions and he started it with just two hundred grand probably has a lot of things on his mind to really always be pleasant. Making the kinds of deals he does he has to keep a cool head about himself.
Asia
I am so glad to be working again and we all are working at the same company just in different departments. I think we hit the jackpot when we hired the headhunters to get us our jobs. Ana is nervous about working at GEH, but is going to anyway.
Ana
I have no idea why I am so nervous about working for GEH. I just don't know why. I stand up and get my dress on and head down to join Asia and dad in the car. We drive in for our first day. We arrive and security takes us to sign all our paperwork. We have been fingerprinted and photographed. We sign NDAs and all our documents and we eventually are taken to our departments to start working.
Christian
I notice the brunette in the elevator and she seems familiar yet again and I can't figure out why. She is looking down at paperwork from HR in her hands. I chuckle to myself as I see all the documents she has had to fill out. HR must hate me and legal for all the paperwork they have to handle regularly. The elevator door opens up and she walks off without looking at me or anyone at all. I head up and decide to check the background checks once more and I find hers and look at look and nothing remarkable stands out. She worked a lot of different jobs and knew how to read, write and speak quite a few languages. But I am missing something, the something that makes her so familiar.
