I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 16

David felt a little tired when he returned home, so he decided to have a nap. It was already night when
he woke up but there had yet to be any updates from Pearl.

David gave it some thought before he directly dialed Pearl’s number. She was spending money too
slowly, and it took her too long to discuss the details of an investment.

He needed to rush her a little.

He only had a hundred and two luxury points now.

That was too far from the amount he needed.

The call connected very quickly, and Pearl’s happy voice was heard from the other end.

“Hello, Mr. Lidell!”

“Miss Pearl! How’s it going?” David asked.

“Mr. Lidell, we’re currently negotiating the details of two companies that require our investment. The
team is currently investigating the companies’ backgrounds, and the situation seems pretty optimistic
right now. I’ll report again once the investigation is over,” Pearl replied.

“How’s it going over at Andy’s side? Have you been in contact yet?”

“We’ve already contacted Mr. Lewis, and we’ll go there once the investigation of the two companies is
complete.”

“Progress is a little slow, Miss Pearl. If the team has already been built, then finalize a few investments
as soon as possible. As long as the companies are suitable, it doesn’t matter if they’re only offering to



sell premium shares. Try to choose companies that have already produced some form of result, and
don’t waste time on insignificant companies.”

“If that’s the case, Mr. Lidell, then we might not be able to achieve the biggest profit. I think it would be
better to invest in small companies with good potential,” Pearl replied.

David felt slightly despondent when he heard Pearl’s reply. He did not want the biggest profit, he
wanted t o spend more money.

It was because he had not built his own powers and was not strong enough yet that he was afraid of
garnering the attention of powerful people and stirring up trouble by suddenly spending too much
money and acquiring too many companies. What he wanted was to purchase and acquire more. He did
not care i f the company was among the top five hundred or one thousand companies in the world, he
just wanted t o buy shares. If the company refused to sell shares, then he would just acquire the
company.

He needed strength! Strength was what decided the victor. Without strength, he would have to watch
his back even when he spent money, and he did not like that feeling.

Moreover, he still did not even know if his system was upgradable.

His current Body and Mind stats had already been maxed out and could not be further upgraded, yet
he still did not have enough power.

This is why he needed to confirm if his system could be upgraded as soon as possible, or he would not
be able to plan his next step.

His current goal was to save up to one thousand Luxury points and see if the system would give him
any pop up any notifications, and if his Body and Mind stats could be further enhanced.



If they could not, then he would have to change his plans and hide somewhere to develop his powers.

If he could not raise his own strength, then he would have to rely on external forces.

If he could further enhance those stats, then his primary goal would be to make himself invincible
before worrying about anything else.

Then he would no longer need to fear anything or anyone.

“Miss Pearl! What I need the most right now is results, not frugality! It’s going to take too long to wait for
the small company to grow and make a profit. I don’t care how, but you must spend at least fifty billion
by the end of this month while keeping a low profile,” David said.

“Huh? Mr. Lidell, I don’t think I heard you. Could you repeat that?” Pearl said after a moment.

Pearl actually heard him, but she just could not believe her ears and wanted to double-check.

“I said spend at least fifty billion by the end of this month on investments, though it would be much
better i f you could spend a hundred billion. Just keep a low profile and don’t act too conspicuously,
understood?”

Pearl was dazed on the other end of the line.

She could not believe David asked her to spend at least fifty billion this month.

She wondered if David had gone mad.

She had never heard of a boss who wanted his employees to spend his money like this.

Most people wanted to earn the biggest profit with the smallest costs-to spend the least amount of
money on things with great potential.



She wondered if David just had too much money that he needed to spend, or if the man just disliked
money as a whole.

She did not understand the minds of sons of wealthy families.

She wondered if there was a different reason behind David’s actions.

“Are you sure, Mr. Lidell? You want me to spend fifty billion? Not five billion? Or five hundred
thousand?” Pearl asked again.

“Miss Pearl, I’m going to say it very clearly now. Yes, fifty billion dollars! At least. There’s no upper limit
but try to keep a low profile and don’t attract unnecessary troubles.”

“Alright, sir! I understand. But it’s going to be a little difficult not to attract any attention spending so
much money on investments in so little time.”

“Try your best. Don’t invest too much in the same place. I arranged for two men to come and protect
you, and they should arrive in the next two days. It’s only natural that malicious people will target you if
you spend too much money. Your safety is the most important thing though.”

“Alright. Thank you, Mr. Lidell. I’ll get back to work, then. This is a difficult mission, I’ve got to rush
them.”

“Alright. We’ll celebrate once you return, then. Oh, and there’s no need to investigate Andy’s company.
I trust him. I’ll contact him directly as well.”

“Alright, Mr. Lidell!”

After ending the call with Pearl, David called Andy, and after a quick talk, Andy urged David to wrap up
the investigations, finalize the investment plan, and transfer the funds. This was so that he could



continue pushing for the implementation of the project.

He had already received a call from Pearl, the project manager of David’s company, but she claimed
that

there were two more companies that they still had to finish investigating before they could come over.

It was likely that she was planning to leave him hanging for a while and then negotiate prices later. He
was no stranger to such business tactics.

However, he also remembered discussing everything with David already. He promised David thirty
percent of the company’s shares for five billion dollars. He did not understand what David’s intentions
of leaving him hanging now were.

He had no idea that it was Pearl’s idea to leave him hanging and this had nothing to do with David.
David was more than happy to spend money now, as he did not want to negotiate any prices.

As the investment manager of East League International Investments, Pearl naturally behaved frugally.
By gaining the greatest profits with the smallest costs, she would be able to prove her worth to her
superior and gain his favor.

She did not know that David was not lacking for money and did not need her to act frugally at all.

David informed her that there was no need for an investigation, and he immediately transferred five
billion over to him.

Andy was also confused. He did not know what David was trying to do.

A moment ago, the man’s company claimed that they needed to evaluate his project.



A moment later, the man said he trusted him and the funds were immediately transferred to his
accounts.

All Andy cared about were the funds being transferred, so now that the money had arrived, he could
continue pushing for the implementation of the project. On the other hand, David felt much better once
his luxury points were raised to a hundred and fifty-two after the five billion dollars were transferred.
