The matter Flynn mentioned immediately caught Alexander by surprise.
They were content enough to join the Stardust Corporation, but he didn't expect that Lucas would entrust them with such an important task as expanding the business into the overseas market.
There was a considerable degree of freedom in the process of expanding into foreign markets. They would be in charge of all matters and finances, and all they had to do was report regularly to the Stardust Corporation headquarters.
Moreover, to put it bluntly, if someone had evil intentions and squandered or appropriated the massive amount of start-up funds allocated by the Stardust Corporation abroad, no one would find out.
They could even abscond with the funds, and it would be difficult to find their whereabouts since they would be abroad.
Thus, generally speaking, such tasks would usually be handed over only to those that the company trusted.
