History

Throughout mankinds history, not including all of time, but since mankind has understood the struggles of business; we have striven to make a place for ourselves out of the collective. Our character is what makes our individual word-of-mouth stand out amongst the minds of the corporate universe. It is what allowed any of us to go from a person with an idea, to someone of great financial status within the course of a lifetime, or less. Some were lost along the way; some were content with just being there; and some crazy few had the correct brand of character to drive them towards reaching new heights in capital.

James D. Jones is one such individual. A life unlike any other; not just for being an individual, but for aspiring to be the individual from a family lineage of great individuals that rested the mantle of greatness on the shoulders of the one who would make the most worth of everything they had done before him.

In the late 2860’s James D. Jones’ great grandfather, Charles E. Jones, seized an opprotunity in the United Empire of Earth’s most recently proposed endeavor, The SynthWorld. During the end of 2867 and into much of 2868 he garnered investors for a new corporation which he planned to focus eighty percent of its business in The SynthWorld project. September 17th, 2868 he launches his new corporation, Jones Corp. and instills three companies within it to handling exploration, mining, and distributing seperately. Because of how the three companies are setup, each will profit off of their combined efforts in a horizontal monopoly.

With the same charisma he used to get investors; he encourages the UEE to payout a large sum in advance to him and he takes a major risk in buying out his investors within the first year creating an S-corp. Once he had accomplished this bold task he reorganized the three companies with his ideas being the only controlling priorities, just as he had originally intended. Cardinal Exploration LLC became tasked with seeking out new areas in which to harvest resources, and received the very first Hewett Award for demonstrating the greatest respect for the UEE’s Fair Chance Act in its discovery and acquisition of new, untapped resources amongst The Verse. Secure Abutment Mining LLC proves itself to be a solid investment in the eyes of the UEE financial advisors, using the latest in technology for mining and updating every three years like clockwork. Logistical Consignment LLC sets a new standard for the world of distributing, many of the tactics devised by the staff at the time of its creation are still implemented today.

Charles E. Jones had fathered a total of five children by 2871 and began to lay plans in 2888 for a family trust so he could insure that his S-corp would be given to his offspring. He planned a turnover date of September 17th, 2893. Exactly twenty-five years after his creation of Jones Corp. He left them with one final decree, “You all have exactly twenty-five years to do as I had done. You must buyout each others shares so that only one of you can hand this corporation down to your children, and they must in turn do the same. For all time.”

In 2916 James R. Jones, Charles E. Jones’ eldest child; successfully carries out his father’s wishes and buys off the shares of each of his siblings. He is then set to hand over the S-corp in a trust to his three children in 2918. During his time, and the time of his siblings, the LLC’s each doubled in size under their leadership. He was given most of the credit for that by the very siblings he bought out. His final words as owner of Jones Corp. were, “The family that stays together, brings shares together.” His siblings remarked him for having their father’s charisma, and then some.

These happy times did not last as long as they were hoped to have been. In 2920 the United Empire of Earth’s economy began to feel the incredible pressure of its overinvestment in a still imcomplete SynthWorld. Having contined their stance of devoting eighty percent of their business to the UEE’s work on SynthWorld, Jones Corp. was recieving quick and steep losses in profit. October 25th, 2922; fearing the eventual colapse of their grandfather’s and father’s gift to them, James R. Jones’ middle child, George L. Jones recieves an offer from his siblings to recieve their shares earlier than most would expect for a much reduced cost. He agrees and assumes controll of Jones Corp. for the next twenty-one years.
Over his career as the head of Jones Corp. George made sure his company remained profitable each quarter, but still slowly lost the S-corp’s overall value. Each of the three LLC’s recieved a heavy hit each year and employees begin to lose faith as the end of the year norm became an event of busied work to show their individual value in not being the one to be “let go” by their respective LLC. The CEO of each LLC began to band themselves together and by the end of the twenty-five preset years they decided it was time for a change.

George L. Jones only father one child, James D. Jones. Named in respect for the brillance and legendary business savvy of his father, James R. Jones. In 2943 James D. Jones is set to take up the mantle of responsibilty for all of Jones Corp. But “clearer” heads are set to prevail, and the three LLC’s CEOs propose a plan to George L. Jones to make everyone happy. They feel that each of them can better run their own companies if they had individual control over them. They offer George his full retirement fund; equal in value to that of Charles E. Jones own, as well as a contract for guaranteed pay to James D. Jones to continue Jones Corp. as a C-corp and make him a limited partner. The offer sounds more than reasonable, but George doesn’t want to be the one to decide what is done. Each predecessors retirement was paid off by their succesors. James R. Jones paid for his father’s retirement. George did the same for his father. He wanted to see whether or not his son James would do the same or choose to opt out.

James D. Jones was born September 17th, 2918. He was set to recieve the S-corp on his birthday. When the LLC’s CEOs and his father told him about this a month prior to the set turnover date, he weighed his options carefully; for all of five seconds. James has the three wills that have always driven mankind foward: from his father he was given the fortitude to last through the tough times; from his grandfather he was given the brillance to exceed all expectations; and from his great-grandfather he was given the boldness to do what many would say is wreckless. WIth the pride of his three predecessors within him he stood up tall and proclaimed, “I will make the value of this S-corp twice that of my great-grandfather’s ever was in 10 years, and if I fail I will hand complete control of Jones Corp. over to its compamies for absolutely no buyout!” With incredible fear and great pride his father stood up and clapped, spurring the three LLC’s CEOs to follow suit and they cheered in support of the young man. They saw in him the same spirit that created Jones Corp. and were in awe and excitment of what they believed could be possible under the leadership of James D. Jones.

WIth a set date of September 17th, 2953 to make his promise matter, James wasted little time in creating a plan for the future. He spent the next two years recreating the LLC’s of the S-corp for the purposes of his newfound mission in life. He had the CEOs of each LLC accept new presidents of his choice and renamed each company to make each president seem like a new member of the family: Cardinal Exploration LLC was renamed Donald Ventures LLC; Secure Abutment Mining LLC was renamed Arch End Mining LLC; and Logistical Consignment LLC was renamed Transmittal Enterprises LLC. He also changed the S-corp’s named to The Legends Corp. or LGD CORP for short.

With his head held high and his dreams held even higher he set off in 2945 with one purpose in mind; the phrase that he made the company slogan; the words of his great-grandfather, “For All Time.”
