Chapter 18 One hundred million in cash

In the elevator, Jonathan gave Berloff Reed a thumbs-up.

"Boss, your plan to pit wolves against tigers is brilliant!"

"Getting Mr. Derek from the insurance company to go after the Cheng family from the trading company."

"We don't have to lift a finger, and they'll tear each other apart."

"Absolutely genius!"

Berloff smiled slightly. "It's not wolves against tigers; it's more like dogs fighting each other, all bark and no bite."

"Right, boss, you're absolutely right!" Jonathan lightly slapped his own cheek. "I misspoke, I deserve a slap!"

Seeing this, Berloff nodded in satisfaction. "Manager Jonathan, you're quite perceptive!"

Having such a considerate and understanding subordinate was indeed a blessing.

Jonathan scratched the back of his head with a simple, honest smile. "As long as you're happy, boss.""From now on, I'm at your service. Just point, and I'll charge!"

With Jonathan's enthusiastic introduction, Berloff walked into the chairman's office on the top floor of the Global Tower.

The massive floor-to-ceiling windows allowed sunlight to flood the luxurious office, which spanned several hundred square feet.

The high-end, modern design and the breathtaking view from the top floor filled Berloff with a sense of exhilaration and boosted his confidence immensely.

He happily approached the high-end executive chair imported from abroad and sat down with a look of pure contentment, crossing his legs.

"Wow, compared to the tiny cubicles at the insurance company downstairs, this is like night and day!"

Just two days ago, Berloff Reed was huddled in the insurance company, frowning as he searched for new clients and tried to sell insurance.

Now, he could sit back with his legs crossed, in the highest office of the landmark building in Silk City, overlooking the entire city.

And every second, a significant amount of rent money was flowing into his account.He also had a sharp and efficient assistant like Jonathan, always ready to follow Berloff's orders.

Life now was almost like that of an ancient emperor.

"Boss, here's some top-grade tea. Please enjoy!"

At that moment, Jonathan's male secretary brought in a freshly brewed cup of tea.

Jonathan took it and respectfully placed it on Berloff's desk.

"Is that so? Let me have a taste!"

Berloff eagerly picked up the cup and took a gentle sip."How is it, boss? Does it taste good?"

"Not bad, it quenches my thirst."

Jonathan was left bewildered.

Quenches his thirst?

What kind of comment was that?

He knew that this top-grade tea cost over ten thousand dollars per ounce and was often hard to come by.

It had taken Jonathan a lot of effort to get it to please his new boss.

To everyone's surprise, Berloff Reed simply remarked that the tea was quite refreshing."Manager Jonathan, didn't you say there were a lot of documents and procedures for me to review? Bring them over quickly!"

Hearing this, Jonathan snapped back to reality.

"Yes, right away. I'll call the team in."

Soon, under the guidance of Jonathan and the legal staff, Berloff signed his name on more than a dozen documents and contracts.

With that, the entire Global Tower was officially transferred to Berloff Reed's name.

"Boss, here are the financial statements for lobal Tower for the past year. After the acquisition, the company still has over a hundred million dollars in cash."

"Since you now fully own Global Tower, you can use this cash as you please."

With that, Jonathan handed over the financial statements and the company bank card to Berloff.

Over a hundred million dollars?

Hahaha...

I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams!

Berloff's face lit up with joy, and his hand holding the bank card trembled slightly."You all can leave now. I need to go through these financial reports carefully!"

"Yes, boss!"

Jonathan led his team out of the chairman's office in an orderly fashion, gently closing the door behind them.

"Oh my gosh! A whole hundred million! I can't even count that much money all at once. How should I spend it?"

Berloff Reed stared happily at his phone screen, where the bank app displayed his balance.

The glaring nine-digit figure made Berloff smile from ear to ear, his heart pounding with excitement.

Last time at World Auto Dealership, he had rented out a few luxury cars and only got a million as an advance payment.

While that seemed like a lot, it wasn't much when it came to actual spending.

In a top-tier city like Silk City, it wasn't even enough to buy a decent house.

But now, with the system's new reward of the Global Tower, not only was the building itself worth over two billion, but there was also more than a hundred million in cash available for Berloff to use as he pleased.

Even more exciting was the fact that the Global Tower generated stable rental income every quarter.

By the 15th of next month, Berloff's account would see several more millions deposited.

Thinking about this, Berloff frowned slightly.

"Damn, if I don't start spending, I won't be able to use up all this money!"

If his former colleagues from the insurance company downstairs heard this, they'd drown him in spit.

Damn it!

We work our butts off every day, and we can't even earn enough in a year to buy a bathroom in Silk City.

And here you are, worried about not being able to spend all your money?

You deserve a beating!

Berloff Reed paced back and forth in the spacious chairman's office, holding a shiny gold bank card, his emotions swirling.

After a while, he finally calmed down.

Taking out his phone, Berloff found his mother's bank account and transferred a sum of money to her.

Berloff came from a small town in the southwestern borderlands. His parents had always scrimped and saved to put him through college.

In the two years before he graduated, Berloff had spent money recklessly, often shopping online and traveling, which led to him running out of money each month. His parents had always sent him money to help him out.

Thinking about this, Berloff felt a wave of guilt. The first thing he did was transfer money to his parents, wanting to share the joy of his sudden wealth with them, who had worked hard all their lives.

After completing the transfer, Berloff dialed his mother's phone number."Mom, I recently secured a big insurance policy for the company and earned a hefty commission."

"I transferred some money to your bank account. Did you get a notification?"

Mrs. Nadine was taken aback. "What? You transferred money to us?"

"Is this for real?"

"I just received a text message that looked like a scam."

"It said my bank account received a million dollars. It seemed like a scam."

Berloff smiled knowingly. "Mom, your vigilance is good. There are indeed a lot of scam messages these days."

"But that message is real. I transferred a million dollars to you!"

Mrs. Nadine laughed and scolded, "You cheeky boy, did you eat honey today? Stop trying to make me happy."

"You can barely make ends meet, and you're telling me you transferred a million dollars?"

"Haha, maybe in twenty or thirty years, you can burn it for me!"

Berloff Reed couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. "Mom, why don't you believe me?""By the way, is Dad around?"

"I taught him how to use mobile banking last time."

"Have him check the balance on his mobile banking app, and you'll understand everything."

Mrs. Nadine felt a sudden jolt in her heart. "Son, you sound so serious. Could it be true?"

"I'm warning you, if you're playing a trick on your old mom, just wait until you come home. I'll deal with you then!"

Berloff chuckled and stayed silent, holding his phone."Old man, come here quickly!"

Mrs. Nadine, feeling anxious, called Mr. Brock over and had him follow their son's instructions to check the balance on his mobile banking app.

After a moment, a piercing scream came through Berloff's phone speaker.
