Chapter 264 Not As Loaded As You
“Aren’t you curious?” Suny looked up at him with a frown.
She didn’t get any sense of accomplishment from Austin’s response.
“Other than being curious…” Austin said, “I’d like to kiss you now.”
Then he grabbed her chin, lifted her face slightly, and kissed her.
The sweetness of the melon lingered on their lips. Austin’s intense kiss overwhelmed Suny.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Probably feeling uncomfortable in this position, Austin lifted her up on his lap.
Suny groaned as Austin started groping his hands way up to her breast.
His soft lips slipped on hers, then to her neck, and finally her collarbone.
Suny’s loosened shirt revealed her tender breasts.
Austin’s eyes were half-opened in desire. Blood flowed into his penis, causing it to become erect. As Suny wanted to get off his lap, Austin let out a lustful groan and pulled Suny closer to his chest. They could hear each other’s heavy panting and heartbeats. Finally, they sunk.
“Don’t move.” Sex had stolen Suny’s judgment. She stayed there, letting Austin do anything to her.
After a while, she found her voice, “I’m thirsty, Austin.”
The man slightly put her aside and got up to pour her a glass of water.
Austin seemed to recover from the mess, except that the sweat on his forehead proved he was on the verge of losing control. Now, he returned to his normal aloofness.
Suny took the water glass and lowered her head to take a sip.
Her heartbeat still raced restlessly.
“How did you create Phantom, Suny?” He stroked Suny’s hair and asked as a patient listener.
Suny cut him a sideways glance and briefly talked about her stories in those years. “… When I was about fifteen, my parents and my family had saved some money and decided to spend some on life insurance. After the accident, the insurance company paid me more than 1. 3 million dollars. At that time, it was a lot of money for me. You know, I was a finance major. There was a professor who assigned us this little test – spent 2, 000 dollars to run an investment account. How you run your account decided what grades you got in the final. I just thought stocks were interesting, so I created two accounts. I put 2, 000 in one and over 400, 000 in the other. I sold it at a high price and then bought others at lower prices.”
“More than two years later, I got more than 10 million. When I was a junior, Alicia, who was still infamous, took that lead actress part in a small movie. But the shooting stopped due to limited budgets. I loved the script, so I invested 3 million in it to be the biggest investor in that movie.”
“Eight months later, the movie made a highest-grossing blockbuster, reaching $1. 4 billion in box office sales. Then I became the biggest investor and the biggest winner. Three million leaped to 300 million.”
Suny grew tired of putting the money in the bank, so she established Phantom in the same year. She invested in several companies, which in the following years, all went public. In just a few years, Phantom had developed rapidly.
In her senior year, Ashley, Suny’s friend, and Alicia’s boyfriend, his entrepreneurial project was cut by the school, but the product was launched soon. The only thing Ashley needed was an investment.
After being friends with Ashley for so many years, Suny trusted Ashley, so she invested 10 million dollars in Ashley’s company. Suny wasn’t the only shareholder in Phantom, so she used her own money in case they wouldn’t agree.
The result was obvious. Future Technology had been listed, with its market value rising from more than 3 billion to nearly 4 billion, and it was still going up.
Phantom Entertainment Company was serendipity. Alicia wanted to earn more chances from the company, but her agent tried to convince her to get good scripts by sleeping with the boss. Then Suny paid the company eight million to clear the liquidated damages and started Phantom Entertainment. Alicia was the only actress in this company at first, and after she became a popular star, the company flourished.
They hadn’t talked like this before, so Suny wanted to talk more to make up for lost hours.
To Austin, he had to admit that Suny was blessed with luck, visions, and courage.
Suny downplayed it, but from the view of a businessman, it couldn’t be all ascribed to luck.
An eighteen-year-old girl lost her parents, and the only thing she got was 130 million dollars. Instead of saving it in the bank, she tried it on the stock market. That was courage.
When she was only nineteen, she spent 3 million on her friend’s movie. That was my vision.
Austin heard about Alicia’s movie, the total cost of which was no more than 5 million. No famous actors, no reputed directors or publishers. Luckily, it was scheduled for the National Day. On the first day of its release, the movie received more than 80 million in box office sales. After word-of-mouth marketing, the box office sales reached more than 200 million on the second day. During the vacation, the movie had earned1. 2 billion at the box office.
Central spent more than 100 million on a movie with a very strong cast, but it only had a box office of more than 300 million dollars. Elijah was nagging it on and on.
Austin looked into Suny’s eyes with admiration for her courage and intelligence.
“Baby, you’re awesome.” Austin stroked her head with deep affection.
She took Austin’s hand off her head and said in a mocking tone, “How can I compare with Mr. Johnson? To you, I’m just nobody!”
It wasn’t easy for Austin to get a foothold in the Johnson family. KLOC was getting better and better every year since Austin took over.
Austin pondered for a while, “If my memory serves, the companies invested by Phantom all develop well over the years.”
“So?”
Austin looked at her, “So, you are loaded.”
Suny met his gaze and smiled, “Not as loaded as you.”
