( In Part 2, the Nazis were the only group outside of the Speedwagon alliance to know about the horrors of the Pillar Men, and both groups were willing to set aside their differences to stop them from eliminating humanity.) From then on, the Foundation provides aid to the future heroes of Jojos, even after Speedwagon passes. In Part 2, he funds the fight against the Vampires, and numerous agents from the Foundation team up with the Nazis to banish the undead menace. He established the Speedwagon Foundation, invested his money into numerous successful business adventures, cared for his best friend's son and grandson, and invested countless dollars into helping the poor and hungry. Speedwagon discovered oil and became insanely rich.

If he's part of the minority in his organization that are trying to resist the rest's rampant corruption, he would probably be also an Internal Reformist, or a flavor of Anti-Villain. Often (but not necessarily) also a Reasonable Authority Figure, Uncle Pennybags, and/or a Benevolent Boss. In this way the Honest demonstrates the distinction of Enlightened Self-Interest. It's also possible that the Corrupt executive gets ahead through cheating or otherwise being unethical to achieve more immediate success, but the Honest executive wins in the long run because his customers prefer his dependability and/or his employees are more motivated. If the honest executive is doing better, it could be because he's a more talented businessman, whereas the less-talented Corrupt exec needs to "cheat" to succeed. (After all, even if the corrupt executive is motivated purely by greed, you would think he wouldn't Kick the Dog unless it was profitable.) In the poorly handled cases, the Corrupt executive can turn into a Card-Carrying Villain or making the Honest executive's business savvy an Informed Attribute. He will likely be contrasted with his Evil Counterpart, the Corrupt Corporate Executive, and the differences in their approaches could be a central theme of the work. Finally, he could stay ahead of the curve by living on the line between genius and insanity. He might not try to sabotage his competition or cheat his customers, but if he spots a loophole in a contract you sign with him, he will have no issues using it to maximum effect. There's also the possibility that even though the HCE may be a good person, he still plays hardball in his business operations. The spirit of competition drives him to excel. Maybe his success lies in making every effort to outdo his rivals by providing better products and services than they do. Perhaps he's a Benevolent Boss who attracts and retains high quality employees. The question then becomes: if he or she succeeds, then how does they do it without being a predatory "shark"? It could be all that positive public relations messages are translating into repeat customers. Extreme examples may even do so in spite of a great detriment to their business operations and profits. Meet a powerful businessperson, who is not willing to profit at the expense of sacrificing their moral principles such as business/social ethics, corporate responsibility, taking care of their employees or protecting the environment (unless the affected party also profits in this manner).
