Chapter 807: It’ll be too late if you don’t go crazy

In the family’s conference room. Haber sat in the corner, not saying a word. At this time, it was usually the younger members of the family who reported their great achievements and income. Of course, there were also those who were criticized. For example, family members who failed in their investments would be stripped of their investment funds and temporarily thrown into the cold Palace. After the clan leader looked at the account book, he looked around at everyone and said,””Harriman manages the city of Dubai, focusing on tourism. This quarter’s revenue has brought in five billion US dollars for the family. Of this five billion, he will take one billion. You have to follow his example and not idle around all day.” Speaking of this, the old patriarch glanced at haber, a little blaming this third son for being so angry. Haber, I heard that you like to collect all kinds of strange antiques all day long, and you spend a lot of money. Have your investments made any profits?” “Father,” haber quickly replied,”we haven’t made a profit yet. It needs some time to ferment.” “The younger generation has more or less started to bring in income for the family. What have you been doing all this time? Instead of spending the savings that I gave you, why don’t you give it to your big brother to invest in the construction of Dubai, or do some trading? I heard that you even spent 1 billion USD to give him a project (Xu Cheng’s underground base) for free before the new year? Is there such a thing?” Haber reported,”father, there is. He’s a good friend of mine. I can’t take money from him.” “Hmph!” Haber’s big brother, haliman, heard this and scoffed,””You’re quite generous, spending 1 billion just like that. A few years ago, you also spent more than 1 billion to collect antiques like calligraphy and paintings. I’m sure you’ve spent a lot of money these years, right? What kind of friend do you have that you don’t even care about 1 billion?” “I was quite lucky. I helped him, and this friend of mine is very kind. He gave me a gift, which I wanted to give to my father.” As haber spoke, he stood up from his seat and walked to his father’s side. From his sleeve, he took out an exquisite box made of pure gold. “Father, do you think it’s worth it for me to spend 1 billion to get this thing?” After the old chief opened the box and saw the medicine Xu Cheng gave haber back then, his face instantly changed, and then his face flushed red with excitement. He was old, and after the jimsonweed had been fermented, he regretted missing it. However, it had been two years since jimsonweed had been auctioned. “Is this true?” “There’s a date and code at the bottom of every potion bottle. One less bottle and there’ll be none left.” Haber smiled. “You’re giving it to me?” The old chief asked him in surprise. “Of course I’m going to give it to father. If I wanted to use it, I would’ve used it long ago.” Haber didn’t take the box back. He just turned around and sat back in his seat. The old chief was very satisfied and carefully put the box into his bag. Then, after a moment of silence, he said,”Haber, there are a lot of vacancies at home that need your help. Since you’re so free, why don’t you help your brother?” Haber said,”father, I want to start a project myself. I need funds. I plan to convert all my assets and invest them all.” “Are you throwing it in for nothing?” Harriman sneered. He didn’t like the members of his family who were cooking and waiting for death, including haber, who was idle. “Your assets can be converted to nearly 10 billion US dollars. Isn’t that enough?” The old chief asked. “It’s not enough,” “Far from enough,” haber said directly.”I need my family to support me with 50 billion USD for this project.” “You’re crazy!” Harriman slammed the table.”The entire family’s assets are less than 200 billion, and this is the wealth we’ve accumulated over more than ten years. You want 30% of it with just one sentence! Do you think that’s possible? We still owe foreign debts, and Abu Dhabi is also our God of Wealth. If you collapse now, where will we find this money to make up for the debt crisis in the future?” More than 50 children of the family’s important bosses all looked at haber curiously. They felt that he must be crazy to actually dare to make such a request. Even the misappropriating funds for the next patriarch, Harriman, could not exceed 10 billion, and he actually called for 50 billion. Only a madman would dare to ask for such a price. The old patriarch waved his hand and didn’t seem to be in a hurry. He looked at haber and asked,””What project is it that you’re so ruthless to do?” Harriman: “no matter what project we’re doing, even if it’s a casino or smuggling, we can’t take so much money. It’s too risky. It’s already hard enough for us to chase after our neighbor, the Abu Dhabi consortium. If our assets shrink again, we’ll be the third in the entire chieftain!” Haber didn’t say anything, and his face was calm and collected, letting his big brother complain. Grandfather, I also don’t agree with uncle haber’s risky investment.” Suddenly, some of the younger generation’s children came out to support Harriman against haber. “That’s right, grandfather. In the future, father will need more funds to build the surrounding facilities in Dubai. If we use such a large amount of funds now, I’m afraid he will be short of funds. You also said that Dubai’s appearance is our top priority at the moment. Everything should be centered around tourism.” “Tourism is indeed the foundation of our family, but give me two months. I’ll only borrow it for two months.” Haber looked at everyone, and then at the patriarch.””Two months later, I’ll return 60 billion to my family!” “You’re talking nonsense!” Harriman snorted and said,”what project can you do in two months to find 10 billion?” The entire Dubai Tourism industry’s annual income is around 20 billion, and you can recover 10 billion in two months?” “If I can’t do it, I’ll leave the family. In addition, I don’t want my share of the family’s dividends for life!” Haber said loudly. The elder waved his hand.”Child, you’re too impulsive. You can’t make the decision. You have to ask your wife and child.” “They have no objections,” Haber said,”they are willing to advance and retreat with me, and since I’ve spoken today, I don’t intend to give up on this project. Dad, you’ve always treated big brother as the best successor in the family, and I have no opinion about that, but no family with a hundred years of history can only revolve around one person. That’s the biggest risk. I also want to share the burden with the family. ” The old chief looked at him and asked after a long time,””What do you want to do?” “Buying crude oil.” Haber said simply. After he finished speaking, everyone in the audience laughed. Harriman laughed so hard that he was lying on the table.”We have crude oil at home, do you want to sell it to you at a low price? Hmm? Why don’t we sell all our crude oil production to you?” “Sure, I’ll buy it at a 5% fluctuation price above the market price.” “Sure.” “Anyone who has crude oil shares in their family can sell their crude oil to you,” Harriman said.”Let’s see what you’re going to do!” The other children all laughed. “I’ll sell them all to you, uncle haber. How much do you want? take it. You can keep the money for now, and you can just give it to us later.” Although their crude oil reserves only accounted for 10% of the entire United Arab Emirates, it was still a lot, so haber thought it would be a waste not to take it. “But,” Harriman said,”if you lose out on this oil and find a way to pay everyone within two months, then you can use your family’s shares to exchange for it.” “Alright,” he said. Haber then looked at the patriarch and said,””Father, I’ll borrow another 30 billion US dollars. If I can’t hand over the money within two months, I’ll pay with my life!” Everyone was in an uproar. Since when did haber play so ruthlessly? The bold died from overeating, and the timid died from starvation. Haber felt like he was already in his fifties, and if he didn’t go crazy now, he would never have the chance to do so again. So, Let’s Go Crazy with the madman for once.
