Although Lucas had handed over the Stardust Corporation to Flynn to manage, it was still the only thing that his mother had left to him. Since he was in DC now, it was only his duty to help resolve some issues.
Flynn thought for a while before saying, “Well, Lucas, I have a great vision for the future of the Stardust Corporation. But because I haven’t made a detailed plan yet, I’ll have to tell you my thoughts here.
“I’ve had my eye on a vacant land in the eastern suburbs of DC, where the terrain is milder. The land covers a massive area, so I intend to acquire it and build a small city there that includes everything from clothing, food, and housing to entertainment, recreation, and shopping. For now, I’ve named it Stardust City.
“Stardust City will have everything people want, such as food streets, mega shopping malls, villas, beauty parlors, luxury designer stores, hospitals, and so on. I envision a city within a city with the same functions as Dubai City!
“And there won’t be only one Stardust City. Apart from the one in the outskirts of DC, I also intend to build them in several other major cities so that the Stardust Corporation will become a household name in the entire country!
!!
“Moreover, in every Stardust City, there will be a landmark building that’s taller than all others. The Stardust Corporation’s office will be on the top floors of this landmark building!
“I also want the model of Stardust City to spread beyond the US and to the entire world so that everyone will know about the Stardust Corporation!”
The more Flynn spoke, the more excited he became, and his face lit up with a tinge of red. He was brimming with fighting spirit.
Flynn had obviously entertained these ideas for more than a day or two. He spoke for a long time, and his thoughts were clear.
But when he finished describing his ideas, he realized that he had been too immersed in speaking that he had made many gestures with his hands, making him seem a little frivolous.
Flynn looked at Lucas with embarrassment. “Sorry, Lucas. My… my ideas are indeed too far-fetched.”
But Lucas didn’t laugh or mock him. Instead, he seemed rather interested in his plan. He said with a smile, “No, I think your ideas are pretty good. Go on, keep elaborating in detail.”
With Lucas’s encouragement, Flynn became even more energetic and narrated his ideas to Lucas in detail again.
Amid his excitement, Flynn even turned on his computer and projector and presented to Lucas in detail some of the plans and data diagrams he had half-completed.
Lucas was very satisfied with Flynn’s plan for Stardust City and nodded frequently. He asked, “Your ideas are great. If we really want to realize it, what other aspects do you think we need to solve?”
Flynn said embarrassedly, “Because of the sheer size of this plan, there are many troubles and problems. First of all, we need to acquire the plot of land in the eastern suburb as soon as possible. As far as I know, this plot of land will be auctioned soon, and many wealthy families are also very interested in it.
“If we want to build the first Stardust City in DC, we have to take this piece of land!”
“Another thing is… If a Stardust City is established in many major cities, an astronomical amount of capital is required!
“With the existing funds available to the Stardust Corporation, we may only be able to buy the plot of land. The construction of the city will require massive funds, and it will be even more difficult to build more Stardust Cities in the country afterward.”
Flynn looked very embarrassed. After all, if they took action according to his plan, the funds needed in the future would probably be at least tens of billions of dollars.
“It seems like money is the main problem.” Lucas nodded. Then he casually took out a black card from his pocket and tossed it in front of Flynn. “This is a black diamond card issued by the World Bank. It contains a hundred billion dollars and has an overdraft limit of fifty billion dollars. You may take it. Contact me again if you need more money.”
Boom!
Flynn froze with a dumbfounded look on his face as he stared at the black card in disbelief.
He originally thought that the Stardust Corporation was Lucas’s greatest asset, but he didn’t expect the card that Lucas casually gave him to contain a massive amount of money. Even if he used up the 100 billion dollars, there was still an overdraft limit of 50 billion dollars!
Given the way Lucas had thrown the card out so casually, it seemed that this massive amount of money didn’t mean anything to him!
Flynn was rendered speechless by Lucas’s tycoon-like generosity!
“Is it not enough?”
Seeing that Flynn wasn’t saying anything, Lucas frowned and pulled out his wallet from his pocket. Inside it was a large stack of bank cards!
While taking out the cards, he said, “If it’s not enough, I still have…”
“No, no! It’s enough! It’s definitely enough!” Only then did Flynn snap back to his senses. He was startled again by Lucas’s generous act of taking out his bank cards. He hurriedly said, “This hundred billion dollars is more than enough!”
At this moment, Flynn was already shaking in excitement.
Even the first few people on Forbes’ list of the world’s richest people only had assets of more than 200 billion dollars. Yet one of Lucas’s cards contained half the wealth that the world’s richest person had, and he still had more cards!
Of course, Flynn also knew that Forbes’ list was not definitive. There were many absurdly wealthy people who would never appear on the list.
Lucas was obviously one of them.
After carefully accepting the black diamond card from Lucas, Flynn felt emboldened.
Suddenly recalling something, he quickly said, “Lucas, the auction for the land I’ve been eyeing will be held this afternoon. Would you like to attend?”
Although Flynn could probably handle the auction on his own, they would likely acquire it faster if Lucas came.
Since he had no other plans for the afternoon, Lucas gladly agreed.
After having lunch, Flynn drove Lucas to the DC Hotel. The auction would be held on the top floor.
As soon as they got out of the car in the hotel’s parking garage, Flynn suddenly pointed at the entrance and asked in surprise, “Lucas, is… isn’t that your missus?”
Lucas turned his head and saw Cheyenne standing at the entrance of the DC Hotel with a man and a woman beside her.
