Chapter 300
Carlisle only had a 20% stake in Holly Fisheries, and he could only get the profits months later.
In the meantime, the smart system and chips constantly cost him money.
His funds were currently below ten million dollars, and it was estimated that they would be depleted by the end of this month.
As of now, he needed a profitable game to support his cell phone company and chips company.
However, he would need a large sum of money to develop the game in the first place.
He pinched his nose bridge while thinking about whom he should borrow the money from.
After a while, he thought of Gareth. He closed his eyes and recalled something.
In his previous life, Gareth had been on the news for a long time.
Gareth started doing business while he was still in university. He had already made 300 million dollars by the time he graduated.
Two years after graduating, he had made about a billion dollars in total.
However, a business genius was ruined due to a single mistake made during the incident at Scarlet Corporation.
With Carlisle’s reminder, Gareth would definitely act cautiously. He would be able to change his fate if he
checked on that batch of red wine.
Only if Gareth could turn the tide would he completely believe Carlisle’s words.
At that time, Gareth probably wouldn’t refuse to invest in his game development plans.
Soon after, Francis returned with several bags of fast food.
The group sat together to eat while discussing the games‘ development.
Cameron said with concern, “Our ideas are good, but it costs a lot to develop a game.”
Owen was not familiar with this industry. He mumbled while chewing the food, “Carl has a lot of money.”
Carlisle smirked. “It costs tens of millions or even hundreds of millions to develop a large–scale game.”
“What the fuck? It costs that much?” Owen widened his eyes in disbelief.
He had thought it was quite amazing that the game studio had made a profit of 150 thousand dollars.
He instantly fell silent upon hearing that developing a game cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
If the studio could make 200 thousand dollars every month, it would be making around 2 million dollars a year. And it would take 50 years to make 100 million dollars.
Carlisle said indifferently, “Let’s eat first. I’ll find a way to get the funds we need.”
“Carl, that’s 100 million dollars. How are you going to get it?” Owen questioned gloomily as he secretly resolved to live thriftily.
Daniel said proudly, “Carl has 200 million dollars now.”
Owen and Cameron widened their eyes in shock. On the other hand, Sunny and Francis looked unbothered.
Carlisle gave Daniel a cold look. “Can’t you just shut up and eat?”
Daniel flashed an embarrassed smile and continued to eat.
Owen looked at Carlisle as if he was a stranger. He wondered if Carlisle was still the same neighbor he’d known for a while.
Where did he get the 200 million dollars?
Cameron was also in a daze at this moment. He originally thought that he was already quite proud to be friends with a millionaire.
Now, he found out that Carlisle had over 100 million dollars. Was he actually friends with a billionaire?
Carlisle continued to eat as he said lightly, “Don’t look at me. I used up almost all of the 200 million
dollars.”
Daniel almost choked on his food. “Damn it. How did you spend it all?”
Carlisle had spent all that money in such a short time?
Francis explained, “You all should know that Carlisle has a lot of businesses. Some businesses have high operating costs, so isn’t it normal for the money to be used up quickly?”
Daniel nodded in agreement. “Yes, especially the research and development of chips. It’s basically a
bottomless pit.”
After saying that, Daniel could feel Carlisle’s cold gaze again. Realizing that he had once again spoken too much, he went to the other corner of the room to eat.
Owen said in a low voice, “Carl, take out my wages from your expenses first. You only need to pay for my basic living expenses. You don’t have to pay me my salary.”
