Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure-Chapter 834 Truly shameless
Chapter 834 Truly shameless
Both Carlos and Haley were confused when they heard this.
If taking over didn't mean having Haley sit as the head of both companies, then they clearly didn't understand what the prime minister was referring to.
The prime minister still had a smile on his face when he saw the way that the two of them were looking at him. It was as if he could already see through what they were thinking and had a solution for them.
So he said, "Who said that you had to merge the companies?"
Both Carlos and Haley looked even more confused when they heard this.
After all, no matter how one looked at it, that was the natural flow of things if they were to have Haley take charge of the Alfried Company. To have both companies running at the same time would be inefficient.
As if he could see through their thoughts, he suddenly said, "Why do you think that it would be inefficient running things like that?"
The two of them were absolutely baffled by the prime minister's words.
It was as if they couldn't understand a single thing that he was saying with the way that he said this.
After all, it should be very clear that if they were to run the two companies separately, all that would do is create competition between them. At the same time, if they didn't combine their supply routes and ran it separately, it would be very inefficient in sending supplies.
So it seemed inefficient no matter how one looked at this.
But even when he saw them looking at them like this, the prime minister just had the same calm look on his face as he faced the two of them.
Carlos looked like he wanted to say something, but Haley just raised her hand as if she thought of something.
The prime minister just remained silent as he waited for her to finish this thought.
"You want to create the illusion of choice?" Haley said in a slow voice.
Carlos had a confused look on his face at first as if he didn't understand what she was saying, but then he slowly started to understand. He had his experience as the head of the Alfried Company for many years now, the time that he had spent here hadn't been wasted.
So he could at least see through Haley's words.
The prime minister just gave a simple nod before saying, "Instead of taking away their choice, it's better to give them the illusion of choice. That way, the people feel like they would still be in control."
Both Haley and Carlos revealed strange looks on their faces when they heard this, but they didn't refute him this time.
As I sat there on the side, I couldn't help feeling impressed by what the prime minister said.
I wasn't surprised by it since while it wasn't something that was put in place in this world, it was something that was put in place in my previous world.
The best example of this was the glasses industry of my previous world.
While it seemed like people had choices since there were many different glasses stores, there was actually only one choice since all of the glasses that they bought were from the same manufacturer.
That one manufacturer had been able to control the entire market while still giving people the illusion of choice, which was the reason why they did so well.
People didn't have an idea that everything was being controlled by one entity.
But this wasn't something that was that easy to come up with, especially in a world that didn't have economics as advanced as my previous world.
So the prime minister really could be considered a genius for coming up with this kind of scheme.
Both Haley and Carlos looked like they were considering what the prime minister had offered.
After another long silence, Haley gave a nod and said, "This can work…but it would take a lot of work. At the same time, it would take a lot of support from the government…"
She narrowed her eyes to look at the prime minister before saying, "What are you planning to gain from this?"
Carlos had been against Haley in the beginning, but now it looked like he was supporting her.
That was because between the two sides, supporting Haley looked like he was supporting her.
That was because between the two sides, supporting Haley seemed to have more benefits right now…
The prime minister just said with a smile, "It's very simple, we'll just have both companies be companies under the royal family."
Carlos' eyes lit up when he heard this, but Haley knitted her brows after hearing this.
She looked at the prime minister in silence for a bit before suddenly saying, "You really are shameless, aren't you?"
Carlos and I were both shocked hearing her say this, but the prime minister just had a calm look on his face.
Haley didn't care about Carlos as she turned to me to ask, "Can you believe what he's saying? He's basically asking for my money."
I raised a brow to show that I was confused, which made Haley explain, "By asking for my Big Bear Company to become a company under the royal family, it would mean that the royal family would basically own it. That would mean that the profits can be used by the royal family how they wanted, even for the benefit of the kingdom. He's basically telling me to take out money to support the kingdom."

The prime minister just calmly said, "Sister in law, you're married to my brother in law, so you are a part of the royal family no matter how you look at it. Is it wrong for your money to go to your family?"
Haley knitted her brows when she heard this, but before she could say anything, the prime minister just calmly said, "Sister in law, what if I said that you'll be the one in charge of how all that money is spent?"
"What do you mean?" Haley said in a confused voice.f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝗲bn𝐨𝚟𝚎l.com
