[Chapter 263]
David immediately thought of someone.
Andy Lewis!
The man had just spent around ten billion on a mine in Safari Land, of which he currently owned 25% of the shares to.
David thought that if he could get Andy to help him buy two mines, then he should be able to spend another twenty or thirty billion dollars and earn more lavish points.
So that was exactly what he did.
David immediately called Andy.
He felt extremely uncomfortable since he could not leave his room and refused to do so until h e had achieved a breakthrough in his mind power.
"Hey, David! And here I thought you didn't care about your shares!" Andy said over the phone.
Andy had been busy with the mine in Safari Land these days, so he was not aware of David's activity within the country.
Neither did he know that David had already become a core member of the SCC.
"Andy! I'm calling because I don't care about my shares, I actually wanted to ask you for help," David said straightforwardly.
"How can I help, David?"
"You have contacts in Safari Land, right? I was thinking maybe I could buy two mines for fun."
"Oh? You want to buy mines too, David? Are you thinking of diamond mines or gold mines?" Andy asked.
"Anything works. I've gotten some extra money lately and I don't know what to do with them, so I thought I'd buy two mines for fun."
"If that's the case, I might actually have a nice recommendation for you. Someone discovered a diamond mine in a spot not too far from mine. They managed to mine an extremely high grade diamond the size of a thumb worth tens of millions! However, the owner isn't a local and wants to sell the mine to Somerland. The only thing is that because this is a newly discovered mine, no one really knows what's the situation inside, so it's pretty risky."
"Yeah, that's fine. I'm not afraid of risks, just help me contact the person in charge. As soon as possible, preferably," David said urgently.
Everything was going as he hoped, and he did not care about the risks.
"Then I'll help you ask them and contact you later," Andy said.
"Ask them now. I'll wait for your call."
David was rushing, and he was afraid that he would have to wait for a long while if he did not urge Andy.
"You need it so soon?" Andy asked confusedly.
"Yeah, it's pretty urgent! So help me ask soon, I'll wait for your call," Then, David ended the call before Andy could reply.
Soon after, Andy called back.
"Hey, Andy! How'd it go?" David picked up the phone and asked.
"David, he's asking for thirty billion. I think I can negotiate for a cheaper price, but the risks are pretty high. After all, this is a new mine and there's no guaranteeing how deep this mine goes. You might not be able to earn the principal cost back if the mine's smaller than expected."
"It's fine. I'll buy it as long as he's selling. I'm looking for something exciting anyway and what's the point of buying a mine without risks? I'll buy it."
"Are you sure, David? Thirty billion isn't a small amount, you know."
"Yeah, I'm sure. I'll leave this purchase to you and I'll sign the contracts tomorrow. I'll give you 10% of the shares as well."
"What? No! I can't accept these shares. We're friends, and this is just a small matter," Andy quickly rejected.
He did not expect David to give him 10% of the shares. David was essentially just giving him 2 billion for free.
Actually, it might even be more than three billion!
As much as Andy wanted to accept the three billion, he still rejected David.
"I don't have time to go over to Safari Land after buying this mine, Andy. I'll still need your help with the development. So consider this 10% as a technology investment. I'm offering it t o you because you're my friend, so just accept it."
"… Alright, then." Andy accepted after some thought. David had already persuaded him to accept the shares, so he would appear arrogant if he continued to decline.
However, Andy then said, "Tell me if there's anything you need my help with in the future, okay, David? As long as I am able to, I will not say no."
"Alright, then! Sign the contract tomorrow, I'll send you the money."
David finally sighed in relief after ending the call. He could finally achieve a breakthrough in mind power.
