I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 131

Before Oliver could speak, Wayne hurriedly said, “Mr. Eastwood, today’s incident reminded us that security should be tightened in the future. Sim and I have several retired comrades-in-arms. I will gather them all tomorrow so we can have people to guide here at any time.”

Oliver nodded and replied casually, “Alright. Once they arrive, we will arrange their food and accommodation. The starting annual salary will be at least 100,000 dollars. There will be no shortage of funds for me. Since they have joined us, we consider them a part of our family.”

Wayne nodded. He always followed Oliver closely. Although Oliver was young, he was the most capable man Wayne had ever seen, especially in stone gambling.

After a while, Sienna and her parents came in a hurry. As soon as they entered the door, they asked, “Are you all right?”

Sienna and her father were both criminal policemen. The news that Oliver’s house had been robbed spread to them immediately. So she came over quickly.

Sebastian was worried and came with her too.

Oliver shook his head and comforted her, “It’s okay. My sister’s ex-husband, a social scumbag, somehow found out that I became rich and came here for blackmail. It’s OK to have Wayne and Simon around. We just wanted to leave evidence of the crime committed by that scumbag on purpose, so we let him be arrogant for a while. With the fact that he blackmailed us for 40 million dollars, I’m afraid that he will never be let out of prison in his life.”

Sienna and her father were relieved after hearing that.

The next morning, Oliver received another 240 million dollars from Manuel’s finance department.

The balance on Oliver’s card is 360 million dollars, and it’s all cash.

That’s already a lot of money. Many wealthy individuals are said to have fortunes of 400 to 600 million dollars, but most of their fortunes are not real money. The majority of their wealth is in stocks or assets. It’s hard to find someone with billions of dollars in actual cash.

But Oliver has 360 million dollars in cash, and he owns 50 percent of the Manuel chain of jewelry stores.

In the past, Manuel’s company’s 50% stake was only worth around 100 to 120 million dollars, but now it’s different. As long as Oliver provides him with a batch of jadeite sources every month, Manuel’s company’s market value will immediately increase by more than ten times.

Now Oliver has given Manuel half of his shares which is worth at least 1 billion or more, and this market value will continue to grow with each passing month.

Originally, Oliver was thinking about adding some properties or businesses to his family that could provide a continuous source of income because he couldn’t guarantee that his special ability would last forever.

What if one day it suddenly disappears?

All of Oliver’s current wealth was earned through his own eyes. Once he lost that special ability, he wouldn’t be able to earn money with it anymore, and he would be back to square one.

Therefore, Oliver’s biggest concern is, first, to save a large amount of cash, and second, to purchase more commercial properties that can generate rental income.

Oliver was just about to reply to Manuel and say that he received the money when Manuel unexpectedly called him.

Oliver quickly answered, “Hello, Manuel? I got the money, I got the money. I told you not to rush to transfer the money now. The company needs liquid cash, and I don’t lack money here. I still have 120 to 140 million dollars in cash in my bank

account.”

Manuel said with a smile, “I told you I don’t lack money either. Your batch of jadeite sources brought me a prepayment of a full 180 million dollars. After giving you 2.4 billion dollars, the company still has 800 million dollars in cash, which is enough: If the company needs money, I’ll come to you, so don’t worry. But I’m not calling you about money. I’m calling you to go to Hobat…”

“What are we going to Hobat for?” Oliver was stunned and asked.

Manuel said, “Well, I have a friend who is in the rosewood business. He said that recently there were a large number of raw materials such as scentedwood and sandalwood that is said to be imported from East Yaland. But these things are all about gambling, just like gambling with stones. My friend is short on funds and wants me to subsidize him. I’m usually not fond of gambling because more often than not, you lose. However, I suddenly thought about how skilled you are at gambling with stones. Maybe you will also be good at gambling with wood, right?”

Oliver felt a stir in his heart. Although he had never gambled with wood and had never seen it, his eyes could identify all things, right?

After thinking for a while, Oliver replied to Manuel, “Sure, bro. I’ll back you up. I’m confident in my skills of gambling with wood, just you know. It’s best not to partner with anyone else. Just the two of us can make a profit together.”

Because Oliver had never seen how wood gambling worked and had no knowledge of it, his statement wasn’t an absolute guarantee, but he stated that he was confident in his skills of gambling with wood.

Hearing this, Manuel was overjoyed and said with a smile, “Great, I understand. I’ve got a handle on this matter. I’ll arrange for plane tickets and have someone come to pick you up shortly. Just provide me with your headcount and personal information, and I’ll plan the trip.”

Oliver agreed. After hanging up the phone, he took photos of his, Wayne’s, and Simon’s ID cards and sent them to Manuel. After thinking for a while, he decided to request Fabian’s ID card and sent it to Manuel as well.

Oliver had just returned from Manchernius, so he was not in a hurry to go there for a while. Fabian didn’t have much work to do when he stayed at the company. Besides, he was an old hand in the business world, so Oliver decided to take him along

to broaden his horizons.

As soon as Fabian heard that he was going to Hainn for wood gambling, his interest was piqued.

Although Fabian was a stone gambling veteran, he had never ventured into the world of wood gambling, although he had heard of it.

In essence, wood gambling wasn’t much different from stone gambling. Both relied on surface inspection.

Since no one could see what lay inside the wood or stone, everything was based on the appearance for gambling.

Winning meant huge profits, while losing meant losing all your money.

Fabian never even bothered to ask Oliver about the details. He had complete faith in Oliver’s skills in stone gambling.

In Fabian’s heart, there was nothing his young boss couldn’t do, especially when it came to gambling, where he was almost always certain to win.

If it were anyone else, Fabian would probably advise his boss to be cautious and not rush into something like gambling. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

But Fabian didn’t worry about Oliver at all. In his mind, the only thing he thought about was how much money his boss would make on this trip.

Manuel arrived in a few minutes, arranged for two cars to pick them up, and then drove them directly to the airport.

But Manuel didn’t bring anyone along, as Oliver and his two bodyguards were sufficient. Moreover, Oliver and he were like two peas in a pod, and he had no worries, as he was ready to follow Oliver to make money and get rich.
