Chapter 926: Chapter 931: Squandering

Yang Yi indeed dared to gamble, so he placed a large bet and staked all his wealth on Boer’s plan.

It was risky, but we have to admit that if Boer’s plan succeeded, the Organization of Water would certainly become the fastest rising power in the underground world.

And a very, very strong power at that.

The underground world breeds strong individuals, but their rise is abrupt, and their fall is sudden, like meteors shining bright and then vanishing just as quickly.

However, if Boer’s plan could succeed, the Organization of Water would be able to firmly establish itself in the underground world, much like the Cicero Family that never disappears regardless of how often its head changes.

The stakes were high, but the potential benefits were even greater. If successful, Yang Yi would acquire strength that could rival the Grey-cloaked People, or at least make them wary of him.

Money came abundantly and quickly, but spending almost all of it at once was indeed thrilling.

Yang Yi steadied his mind, then suddenly remembered something, and immediately said to Boer, "Did you say earlier that I can squander as I wish?"

Boer smiled, then seriously told Yang Yi, "You have over a hundred billion US dollars. Even if it’s divided proportionally, you still have tens of billions of dollars. Do you realize how much money that is? If you spend freely, considering money spending as your only task for the rest of your life, you still couldn’t exhaust these funds. Think about what you like, buy everything of those, and you’ll find that the spent amount is just a tiny and negligible portion. What’s terrifying is that when you are exceptionally wealthy, you’ll discover that spending money can even earn you more."

Yang Yi took a breath and said, "I want cars—uh, an RS6, BMW M5, Ferrari, Lamborghini..."

Boer shrugged and said, "Go ahead, buy all the cars you like. Will a million do? If not, will ten million be enough?"

Yang Yi paused for a while and said, "No need, uh, I want customized ones..."

"Customized? No no, do you have time to customize them yourself? If not, why customize? What you should be doing given your current status and wealth is ordering from the factory, custom-made as per your requirements. Get it? If you’re buying clothes, you should be asking a luxury brand to bring their latest collections to your place for you to choose from. That’s how a billionaire behaves. Shopping? Sorry, when you can buy the entire store or even acquire the brand whenever you want, you’ll realize you’ve lost the joy of shopping."

Yang Yi stared blankly at Boer and said, "I think I’m starting to understand your past joys and troubles now."

Boer shrugged and said, "Yeah, you still need to adjust to spending money. But once I’ve invested most of the funds, uh, you’ll see profits continuously flowing in. So, you still have an endless amount of money to spend. Now, think about how to spend it."

Yang Yi smoothed his hair and chuckled, "Good thing I have great ambitions. It’s good we live in danger; otherwise, we and people like us would have lost our goals already, right?"

Boer also looked reflective and said, "Exactly, I lost everything, which was painful and angering. But, I must admit, I’ve found a new purpose to strive for, and that’s not too bad."

Yang Yi sighed and said, "Prepare some money, I’m going to start squandering now!"

Yang Yi left Boer’s room and went straight to Annastasia’s room, knocking on the door.

The door opened; Brian’s face appeared normal, and so were the expressions of his old subordinates, although Black Jack looked somewhat resentful, but Annastasia had a calm smile on her face.

It seemed the discussion had gone well, and they hadn’t fallen out, which was good news.

Brian looked at Yang Yi for a while, then asked in a deep voice, "Is there something?"

"I need to talk to you, uh..."

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Yi made up his mind and said, "No, let’s have everyone come over. I want to hold a meeting!"

Yang Yi had originally planned to talk just with Annastasia and Brian, but he thought it might be better to share a grand vision with everyone. As for whether Brian’s newly recruited old subordinates were trustworthy, or if they might betray the Organization of Water, Yang Yi didn’t think it was likely. And letting these newcomers understand the strength of the Organization of Water, knowing what it aimed to do in the future, would benefit their integration.

Simply put, Yang Yi wanted to show off, planning to dazzle everyone with money.

The meeting quickly assembled, with no one missing. Gweil and Hank, among other idle characters, also attended the meeting, even Tang Guo from the United Kingdom joined via a video call.

No one knew what Yang Yi was about to say, not even Boer, who had just finalized the plan with him.

Boer believed Yang Yi needed to consult with Annastasia first and see their plan through after discussing their results, but that wasn’t the case.

Yang Yi looked at everyone present, smiled, and suddenly announced, "I have good news for you all, a million US dollars each. This is for you to squander, don’t save it; this is money for you to waste, do whatever you want, all involved get a share."

Upon Yang Yi’s remark, members of the Magic Box Squadron felt a bit dazed.

"Additionally, you already know the proportion of wealth you each will occupy. We will distribute dividends annually based on that proportion, you all know this, so I won’t repeat it. As for the newcomers..."

Yang Yi looked at the new members of the Magic Box Squadron, smiled and continued, "Work hard, and you too will have shares."

Bill raised his hand, and after Yang Yi indicated he could speak, Bill, looking bewildered, said, "We haven’t done anything and we get a million dollars?"

Yang Yi nodded and said, "I’ve said it, everyone gets a share. Even though you haven’t done anything yet, it’s okay, consider it a welcome gift from Brian. He has that authority, and I must give Brian this face."

Brian chuckled and then told Bill, "Just take it, spend it however you want. The Organization of Water has plenty of money."

Bill had wealth; he had always prided himself as a bank-robbing magnate, but now, he was beginning to regret his attitude.

Yang Yi cleared his throat and continued, "Also, I want to announce a plan, one proposed by Boer, which I have agreed to. That is, we’re venturing into Wall Street and setting up an underground bank for money laundering, acquiring an airline, among other small-scale acquisitions. The total investment will require about a hundred billion US dollars. Boer, explain our investment plan to everyone."

Boer stood up, but just then, Bill choked on his own saliva, coughing a few times and swallowing before saying in terror, "A hundred billion? A hundred billion US dollars? Not lira, yen, or pesos?"
