World Domination Begins With Getting a System in a Modern World-Chapter 86: Meeting With SouthPark Group Partners Again [Edited]
Chapter 86: Meeting With SouthPark Group Partners Again [Edited]
The morning sun was still rising over Rarotonga as James, Patty, Leslie, Mr. Harrington and his team set off for their final meeting with Southpark Group.
Today was the last step. According to the timeframe Mr Richard gave them, the trust should be officially registered and the LLCs, fully operational by now.
Now, James only needs to choose a professional trustee and fund the LLCs, choose a trustee and everything will be perfect.
As they rode in the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, James sat comfortably, with a neutral expression on his face as he glanced out the window. freeweɓnøvel.com
Mr. Harrington seated beside him, had a neatly prepared folder in his lap. The folder was filled with all the final documents they would review in the meeting.
As for the reason he’s in the same car as James, it was because James told him to ride with them, so that he can brief them on the current progress of things.
Across from them, Patty was seated with a calm yet focused look, and her hands gently folded over her lap. She was already in her business mode, anticipating the information from the folder in Mr Harrington’s hand.
Leslie, however, was as laid back and uninterested as ever, as she sat comfortably in her seat, half-listening while scrolling through her phone.
She had no real interest in legal structures or financial maneuvers, but she came along because she had nothing else to do. She couldn’t stay back at the villa and wait for them, but he thought alone was boring and gruelling for someone like her.
Mr. Harrington cleared his throat and began his final briefing.
"The trust and the LLCs are now fully registered and operational. And just as we discussed, Southpark Group has also compiled a list of highly recommended professional trustees from corporate trustee companies."
He glanced at James, who nodded slightly, absorbing the information.
"Today, you’ll be reviewing that list and selecting the trustee that best suits your goals. After that, we will proceed with funding the LLCs and finalizing everything."
James nodded in understanding and exchanged a glance with Patty, who also gave a small nod of approval.
"Understood," James replied. "Let’s get it done."

The Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of Southpark Group’s sleek glass office building, its modern architecture reflecting the tropical sunlight.
As soon as they stepped out, they were greeted by a well-dressed concierge, who immediately led them inside.
James and his team were guided to the executive conference room, where Richard Anthony, the Managing Partner, was already waiting.
Seated beside him were his senior associates — Charles Donovan, Kimberley Hayes, and Michael Langford — just like last time.
"Mr. Zolomon, welcome back," Richard greeted, standing up and shaking his hand.
"This is an exciting day for you," he said, and James smiled.
James shook his hand firmly, smiling politely.
"Good to see you again, Richard. Let’s get to it."
After brief pleasantries, everyone took their seats.
Michael Langford, the Senior Trust Administrator, pulled out a thick file and placed it in front of James.
"This document contains the profiles of the top corporate trustees we’ve identified as the best fit for your structure," he explained.
"Each trustee has an impeccable reputation in asset management, estate planning, and legal compliance."
James nodded, flipped open the folder.
Inside, he found a neatly structured document, listing eight different corporate trustee companies, each with a detailed breakdown of their company history, years of experience in trust management, notable high-net-worth clients they’ve worked with, fee structures, and any additional fiduciary services offered
Patty and Mr. Harrington leaned in slightly, also scanning through the list with James.
Patty took the lead, and using her keen financial mind, she immediately started dissecting the information.
"We need a trustee with a proven track record of handling large, multi-entity trusts," she said, flipping through the pages.
Mr. Harrington nodded in agreement when he heard this.
"More importantly, we want a trustee who doesn’t just process paperwork but actively provides asset protection strategies," he added.
James remained quiet as he went through each option, absorbing the details and doing his best to understand what he was reading, and what Patty, and Mr Harrington were saying.
This was the reason why he need Patty’s help and why he hired Mr Harrington.
As they went through the list, some of the names stood out.
The first was Sterling Fiduciary Trust Services. They are one of the oldest trust firms in the Cook Islands, known for working with ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and their expertise in international asset protection was top-tier.
The second was Oceania Private Trustees Ltd. They are a newer firm compared to the others on the list, and they highly aggressive in securing financial privacy and estate planning, favored by tech billionaires and discreet family offices.
The third was Bluehaven Trust Management, company that specialized in tax-efficient structures and offshore investment strategies, making them a powerhouse for those looking to optimize wealth growth.
And lastly was Falcon Crest Trustees, a boutique firm that provided more personalized services, catering to CEOs and private investors who wanted hands-on management.
James rubbed his chin, considering his options, using the information in front of each company.
"Sterling Fiduciary Trust looks solid, but their client list includes some public figures. I don’t like that." He said.
What he want is anonymity, and he feels that Sterling Fiduciary Trust won’t give him that.
He looked at the others and one caught his eye, and he turned to Patty and asked.
"We want discretion. What do you think about Oceania Private Trustees?"
Patty heard James’ question, and she tapped her fingers against the table, as she studied Oceania Private Trustees information carefully.
"They’re newer but aggressive. If they’re handling trust management for tech billionaires, that means they’re highly adaptable."
Richard Anthony, observing the discussion, nodded slightly in agreement to what Patty said.
"Oceania has been making waves in the industry. They take a more proactive approach to legal defense and privacy, which fits your structure well."
Mr. Harrington flipped through the notes, checking their management history.
"They have a dedicated compliance team that ensures international legal shielding... That’s a big plus."
James leaned back in his chair, glancing at Leslie, who was barely paying attention.
"Les, what do you think?" he smirked.
Leslie blinked in confusion and looked up from her phone.
"Huh? Oh. Uh... pick the one with the coolest name?"
James laughed, shaking his head.
"Alright, then. Oceania Private Trustees it is."
Since Mr Harrington, Patty and Mr Richard approves of it, then Oceania it is then.
After James has made his choice, Richard Anthony immediately made a note of the selection.
"Excellent choice. We’ll initiate the contract with Oceania today. By tomorrow, they will assume the role of the trustee for Paramount Global Holdings."
Michael Langford slid over a new set of documents.
"Next step — funding the LLCs. Mr. Zolomon, please confirm the allocation breakdown," He said.
James straightened up immediately.
"I’ll be injecting a total of $350 million, $100 million immediately, and an additional $250 million afterward."
The Southpark team exchanged shocked and impressed glances. Even for their high-net-worth clients, $350 million in funding from the start was an elite-tier move. They couldn’t help but feel like they might have stumbled onto a goldmine.
This was the same for Mr Harrington and his team. They found it extremely hard to believe that the young man in front of them has $350 million in his possession. And the money is legal! How?!
James saw the expression on their faces and smiles internally. Even though they tried their best to conceal it, he saw it clear as day.
He turned his attention to the three folders on the table and picked up one of them — Solara Real Estate Holdings LLC.
He went through the documents in the folder and he saw what he was looking for — the LLC’s account details was.
He took out his phone, went to his bank app and made the transaction, transferring the initial $100 million into it.
The next moment, he got a system notification that nearly made him to lose his composure.
