"Holy shit," Parker muttered, his brows shooting up. This wasn't just another generic mission to grind points or cash; this felt... real. The system was pushing him toward something bigger, something that could change his life—or hell, his place in the world.
He sank back in his chair, running a hand through his hair as the excitement bubbled up. A business empire? This was his shot to break into the top 1%? No, scratch that—he could become the 1%.
But as much as the idea got his adrenaline going, Parker knew he couldn't just jump into it blind. He had to think this through.
He grabbed his water bottle from the table, took a sip, and leaned forward. "Alright, Parker, focus. Let's break this down," he said to himself.
He clicked over to a few articles about cosmetics. Trends, influencers, marketing... it was all overwhelming.
"Profit margins are high," he read aloud, squinting at the screen. "But the market's oversaturated. Every other day there's a new mascara that makes your eyelashes look like tree branches." He snorted at the thought.
Scrolling further, he saw words like branding, social media presence, and customer engagement.
"Yeah, no thanks," he muttered, leaning back in his chair. "I'm not about to DM a bunch of influencers to beg them to sell my lip gloss." Although he would offer sums for ads, it was still the same thing to him—begging!
With a decisive click, he closed the tabs. Cosmetics are out.
Grabbing a glass of water from the kitchen, Parker flopped back onto the couch and started scrolling through contacts with for an international property management company he'd bookmarked earlier.
"Alright, here goes nothing," he said, tapping the call button.
The line rang twice before a crisp, professional voice answered.
"This is Sophisticated Space, a global real estate and investment management firm. My name's Katherine, how may I assist you?"
Parker nodded and replied the woman "Katherine," he said, his voice flat and to the point. "Parker. I'm looking into real estate investment—commercial, residential, mixed-use. I've read a lot, but there's still too much I don't get. Thought I'd ask the experts."
Her tone softened slightly, shifting from polished to approachable. "Of course, Mr. Parker. We'd be happy to help. Could you share a little more about what you're looking to do? Are you interested in acquiring properties, leasing, or just general portfolio management?"
Parker rubbed the back of his neck. "Yeah, uh, probably buying properties. But, like, here's the thing—I don't want to deal with tenants or plumbing disasters and all. I'd rather not even touch the day-to-day stuff if I can avoid it."
Katherine chuckled lightly. "That's completely understandable. A lot of investors feel the same way. With our management services, we handle everything—tenant communication, property upkeep, leasing agreements—you name it. Your role would simply be acquiring the assets and watching your portfolio grow."
Parker raised an eyebrow, his tone cold and calculating. "So, I buy the buildings, and you handle everything else, right? Just making sure."
"That's correct," she confirmed.
A grin spread across Parker's face. "I like the sound of that."
Katherine hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Mr. Parker, I'd recommend you visit our headquarters in New York City. It's our largest U.S. office, and you'll get a chance to meet our team, see how we operate, and get a deeper understanding of your investment options."
Parker blinked, his expression unreadable. "New York City, huh?"
"Yes," she said warmly. "We believe in creating strong relationships with our clients, and a personal visit would give you a much clearer picture of the opportunities available to you."
Parker leaned back, his mind racing. "Alright, Katherine, you've sold me. Send me the details, and I'll figure out when I can head out."
"Wonderful. I'll email you everything you need," she replied. "We look forward to seeing you here soon."
After hanging up, Parker sat in silence for a moment, staring at the phone in his hand. "NYC?" he muttered. He'd never been, but the thought of stepping into one of the most iconic business hubs in the world made his chest buzz with excitement.
Setting the phone down, he grabbed the TV remote and flipped to a random channel. "Alright, Parker," he said to himself, smirking. "Time to make some big moves."
