The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 90

David felt a little tired when he returned home, so he decided to take a nap. It was already night when he woke up but there had been no updates from Pearl. David thought about it before he directly dialed Pearl's number. He spends money too slowly, and it takes too long to go into the details of investing. He should have done it a little faster.

He only had a hundred and two luxurious points now. It was too far from the amount he needed.

The call connected very quickly, and Pearl's happy voice was heard from the other end.

“Halo, Mr Lidell!”

“Nona Pearl! How are you?” ask David.

“Mr Lidell, we are negotiating the details of two companies that need our investment. The team is currently investigating the background of the company, and the situation seems to be quite optimistic at the moment. I'll report again once the investigation is over." Pearl replied.

“How's it going on Andy's side? Have you made contact?”

“We have already contacted Mr Lewis, and we will go there after the investigation of both companies is completed.”

“The progress is a bit slow, Miss Pearl. If the team is already formed, complete some investments as soon as possible. As long as the company is suitable, it does not matter if they only offer to sell premium shares. Try to choose a company that has produced some form of results, and do not waste time on non-essential companies.”

“Then, Mr. Lidell, maybe we can't make the biggest profit. I thought it would be better to invest in a small company with good potential." Pearl replied.

David felt a little desperate when he heard Pearl's reply. He didn't want the biggest gain, he wanted to spend more money. It was because he had yet to build up his own strength and was not yet strong enough that he was afraid of attracting the attention of powerful people and stirring up trouble by suddenly spending too much money and acquiring too many companies.

What he wanted was to buy and earn more. He did not care if the company belonged to the top five hundred or thousand companies in the world, he only wanted to buy shares. If the company refuses to sell the shares, then it will acquire the company.

He needs power! It is this power that determines the winner. Without strength, he had to guard his back even when he spent money, and he did not like the feeling.

Moreover, he still did not even know if his system was upgradeable. His current Body and Mind Stats had been maximized and could not be improved further, yet he still did not possess sufficient strength.

This was why he needed to confirm whether his system could be upgraded as soon as possible, or he would not be able to plan his next move.

His current goal was to break through to a thousand fancy points and see if the system would give him a pop-up notification, and whether his Body and Mind stats could be further improved.

If it couldn't, then he would have to change his plan and hide somewhere to develop his strength. If he could not increase his own strength, then he would have to rely on external forces. If he could further improve that stat, then his main goal was to make himself invincible before worrying about anything else.

Then he no longer needed to fear anything or anyone.

“Nona Pearl! What I need most right now is results, not frugality! It will take too long to wait for a small company to grow and turn a profit. I don't care how, but you have to spend at least fifty billion by the end of this month while keeping a low profile.” David said.

“HAH? Mr. Lidell, I don't seem to hear you. Can you repeat it?” Pearl said after a while.

“I said spend at least fifty billion at the end of this month on investments, although it would be much better if you could spend a hundred billion. Keep a low profile and don't act too conspicuous, understand?”

Pearl was confused on the other end of the phone. He could not believe David had asked him to spend at least fifty billion this month. He wondered if David was crazy. He had never heard of a boss who wanted his employees to spend money like this.

Most people want to make the biggest profit at the smallest cost to spend the least amount of money on things with great potential.

He wonders if David just has too much money he has to spend, or if the man doesn't like money overall.

He did not understand the thoughts of the children from rich families. He wondered if there was another reason behind David's actions.

“Are you sure, Mr Lidell? You want me to spend fifty billion? Not five billion? Or five hundred thousand?” Pearl asked again.

“Miss Pearl, I will say it very clearly now. Yeah, fifty billion dollars! At least! There is no upper limit but try to keep a low profile and do not pull unnecessary problems.”

“Good, Sir! I-i understand. But it will be a little difficult not to attract attention by spending so much money on investment in a very short time.”

“Just do your best. Do not invest too much in the same place. I arranged for two men to come and protect you, and they will arrive in the next two days. It's only natural that bad people will target you if you spend too much money. Your safety is the most important thing.”

“Good. Thank you, Mr. Lidell. I'll be back to work, then. This is a difficult mission, I have to make them move fast.”

“Good. Then, we'll celebrate after you return. Oh, and there's no need to investigate Andy's company. I trust him. I'll contact him directly as well.”

“Alright, Mr Lidell!”

After ending the call with Pearl, David calls Andy, and after a short talk, Andy urges David to complete the investigation, complete the investment plan, and transfer the funds. That is so that he can continue to encourage the implementation of the project.

He has received a call from Pearl, David's company project manager, but he claims that there are two more companies they still have to finish before they can come. It was likely that he planned to let it hang for a while and then negotiate the price later. He is no stranger to such business tactics. However, he also remembered having discussed everything with David. He promised David thirty percent of the company's shares for five billion dollars. He did not understand what David's intention was to let him hang now.

He had no idea that it was Pearl's idea to let him hang and this had nothing to do with David. David was very happy to spend the money now, as he did not want to negotiate any price.

As the investment manager of East League International Investments, Pearl naturally behaved sparingly. By earning the greatest profit at the smallest cost, he would be able to prove his worth to his superiors and get his help. He had no idea that David was not short on money and did not need him to act frugally at all.

David informs him that there is no need for an investigation, and he immediately transfers five billion to him.

Andy was confused too. He had no idea what David was trying to do. Just a moment ago, the man's company claimed that they needed to evaluate his project. A moment later, the man said that he trusted him and the funds were immediately transferred to his account.

All Andy cares about is the funds being transferred, so now that the money has arrived, he can continue to push for the implementation of the project. On the other hand, David felt much better after his luxury points were raised to one hundred and fifty-two after five billion dollars were transferred.
