Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 32

　　Sy International.

　　"President, the International Business Conference's new schedule was finally released. I took the liberty of cleaning your schedule on the conference's first day. All I need is your confirmation." Secretary Ryan was informing Rawlf Sy while walking a step behind the man.

　　"How many days this time was the conference?"

　　"Three days, President. Although your presence is very much needed only on the opening day." "Venue?"

　　"City M's International Business Center, President."

　　Both men stopped walking as they reached a shiny black obviously armored vehicle. They then boarded on it and Rawlf Sy's private driver slash bodyguard, Noel, greeted both men.

　　"Send me the schedule right away. And as usual, we'll only attend the first day." Rawlf said as he opened his laptop.

　　"Yes President." Silence once then engulfed the vehicle as they made their way on Spartan's base headquarters.

　　It is not surprising at all that Rawlf Sy's presence is needed during the International Business Conference considering the fact that Sy International is the giant among the ants if we are to talk about the business circle in Country P.

　　Another thing is that it is Rawlf Sy's Sy International that has the power and capability to control the economy and politics of the said country that foreign investors naturally would want to meet the magnanimous man to reestablish and secure their own connection.

　　It has been like that over the course of years that Rawlf himself had grown accustomed to this tradition.

　　With Country P producing at least one fourth of the world's oil supply while also making itself independent of its own oil supply, the country had greatly developed over the years after Sy International who was then under the leadership of Rawlf Sy's grandfather, Roberto Sr., had struck a joint oil exploration and venture deal with the Country P's former President.

　　That said, the deal struck gold for both parties.

　　Unfortunately, with the corruption in its own leadership and administration, Country P had a slow down phase with the progress but this also made Sy International, being a private corporation taking the chance to stealthily take over the joint venture deal.

　　When Rawlf Sy took over years ago, as being another genius,he had brought Sy Corporation into a vast frontier and later renamed it to Sy International proving the company's strong and powerful international footing and connection.

　　Then suddenly, an incident from five years ago made Rawlf Sy take into his own hand the control of the politics and economy of Country P which put corruption to stop within the country's government thus improving the state of lives of each citizen making the people hailed Sy International as its "national modern hero."

　　De jure, there exists the Country P government with its own written constitution but by de facto, it was Rawlf Sy who controls everything and his every word is the law in Country P.

　　Although only those elites who belong in high society and scholars in Country P are aware of this system.

　　Normal citizens only do know the fact that Sy International is the first and currently the only local company that gained international power which later brought success to the country itself with the boom in its international trade and economy.

　　Certainly, Rawlf can utter the line 'L'etat c'est moi' or 'I am the State' by a french king who thought that being a king made him the owner of France. The thing is, with Rawlf's case, it is the truth.

　　Sy International did not stop with that, under Rawlf Sy's leadership, it entered into weapon and armor and even gold international trade and also, with the knowledge of the few, had been keeping a strong underworld force.

　　After all, before Rawlf Sy took over Sy International, he was already an overlord in the underworld in Country P, and even had his own "kept" fair share of forces abroad.

　　His 'vagabond' Persian forces are an example of that. And with another Island that most likely contains oil reserves newly discovered by Sy International's research and development department, Sy International, bringing along Country P on its wings, would soar into new heights.
