Dejoka couldn't understand Shire's actions.
When Shire returned to Davaz and handed Dejoka a list of acquisitions, it almost frightened him.
"Shire." Dejoka glanced at the several pages of the list, looked at Shire in confusion, and asked with difficulty, "Are you sure you want to buy all of these?"
Shire nodded confidently.
"But this, the risk is too great." Dejoka flipped through the list:
"Electricity, construction, cement, and telephone and telegraph companies."
"I have to remind you, it's good that you want to expand, but you can't be this hasty."
"We don't understand many of these industries, in fact, we know nothing about them."
Shire's attitude was determined: "I know, Father, but we must buy them. Not only buy them, but continuously keep investing in them."
Dejoka was bewildered: "Which one?"
Shire replied: "All of them!"
