Chapter 365 Larry's Arrival
"Nine billion dollars? That's a ton of cash! This Bodhi guy must be loaded!"
"That's crazy money!"
"And he's totally showing off!"
"Quick, record this and post it online!"
"This could be the ultimate rich guy brag!"
The reporters were stunned, their cameras snapping away at Bodhi.
"Secondly, I want to say that I've always been very interested in the real industry," Bodhi continued. "That's why I invested nine billion dollars to help the Harris Group purchase environmental equipment."
"Mr. Cooper, are you saying that this investment was purely out of interest?" a reporter asked.
"That's right!" Bodhi nodded.
"Investing nine billion dollars just because he's interested?"
"The world of the rich is beyond comprehension!"
"This is incredible! This quote should definitely go online! Mr. Cooper is a top-tier billionaire!"
The reporters buzzed with conversation.
Next, Nathaniel and Bodhi answered a few more questions before moving on to the second part of the event: signing the contract.
Bodhi picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract. Nathaniel did the same, signing and stamping the document.
The two men stood up and shook hands.
The sound of cameras clicking filled the room, capturing this historic moment for Silverlight City's industrial sector. Soon, news about the Harris family partnering with a mysterious wealthy individual was turned into headlines and spread across various media outlets like the Silverlight City Daily, and Silverlight City TV.
#Breaking News: Harris Group sells 45% of its factory shares to a mysterious billionaire!
#Who is the mysterious billionaire who spent nine billion dollars?
#Silverlight City's industry faces a major turning point!
These headlines drew in countless viewers.
"Wow, nine billion dollars for 45% of the Harris family factory shares!"
"Who is this Bodhi?"
"Never heard of him!"
"Could he be a hidden billionaire?"
"Silverlight City's environment will definitely improve, with less smog in the future!"
The news included photos and videos, causing a stir among the millions of viewers in Silverlight City.
After the contract ceremony, Bodhi confidently transferred the nine billion dollars to Nathaniel, making the contract effective. From that moment on, 45% of the Harris family factory belonged to Bodhi, or rather, Noah.
'The first step is finally taken!' Noah thought as he drove towards the Hilton Hotel. He was in a good mood, knowing that with 45% control of the factories, he could follow Tomas's plan to crush the Harris family.
Suddenly, Noah's phone rang.
"Noah, it's me!" A playful voice came through.
"Luna, what's up?" Noah smiled. It was his sister-in-law, Luna.
"I'll be at the Serenity District toll booth in half an hour! Come pick me up!" Luna said cheerfully. "Lisa must have told you that I'm coming to Silverlight City with Larry and the others, right?"
"I know, I'm on my way to get you now," Noah replied.
"Great!"
After hanging up, Noah headed towards the highway toll booth.
Meanwhile, on the highway, a car sped along with Larry behind the wheel and Sarah in the passenger seat. Luna sat in the back.
"Luna, did you finish the call? Did that loser Noah agree to pick you up?" Sarah asked, her face expressionless.
"Yep, he said he'd meet me at the toll booth," Luna replied with a smile.
"Luna, you should just stay with me!" Larry suggested with a grin. "Even though I don't have much money right now and my reputation in Oceanbridge City is shot, I know a lot of people in Silverlight City."
"Once we get there, I'll be back on top, driving a BMW and living in a villa!"
"Exactly!" Sarah chimed in. "There's no need to go to that loser Noah. He's just a freeloader wherever he goes."
"I still want to see Noah. It's been a while, and I miss him," Luna said.
Unable to convince her otherwise, Larry and Sarah sighed in resignation.
"That loser Noah was useless in Oceanbridge City, and he'll be just as useless in Silverlight City!" Sarah scoffed. "When he sees us in this car, he'll definitely laugh at us. Larry, let him laugh. Once you reconnect with those bosses and make big money again, we'll show him!"
"Of course," Larry nodded, equally disdainful of Noah. But because of the show "I Am a Super Rich," Larry's reputation in Oceanbridge City was ruined, and all his business partners cut ties with him.
He had to sell everything, including his house at Summit Retreat Oasis and his BMW 3 Series, to pay back the show's one million dollars.
Now, Larry was broke, driving a used car he bought for a few thousand dollars. Despite this, he was determined to succeed. He believed Silverlight City was his chance to rise again.
'When I get to Silverlight City, I'll work hard and reclaim everything within three years! Then I'll return home in glory!' Larry vowed silently.
Sarah's phone buzzed with a news notification. She glanced at it.
#A mysterious billionaire in Silverlight City spends nine billion dollars to buy 45% of the Harris family factory shares!
"Nine billion dollars!" Sarah was stunned. It was an unimaginable amount.
"Silverlight City really has a lot of rich people. No wonder it's the center of Imperial State," she said, opening the news article. It was about the contract signing for the share transfer.
"The Harris family is said to be a prominent family in Silverlight City. They have shares in all the factories. If we could connect with the Harris family, that would be amazing," Sarah said, scrolling through the article.
"Sarah, connecting with the Harris family is impossible. They're way out of our league. If we can connect with some smaller families, we'll be lucky. The bosses I know are said to have connections with the Jennings family in Silverlight City," Larry explained.
"Okay, but this Bodhi is really a big shot! Nine billion dollars! That's terrifying!" Sarah was in awe, scrolling through the news photos.
"That's Bodhi, huh? He looks a bit old, but money can make up for anything," she said, studying the photos. Her gaze shifted, and she froze.
"Noah!" she exclaimed, her mouth agape, voice trembling in disbelief. The phone slipped from her hand.
