Chapter 199 Freedom
Chapter 199 Freedom
What to do after you have money.
Gao Yi had 18,730,241 US dollars in his hand.
Such a large amount of money, both in small and large amounts, must have been from Luca's hand, but this is secondary. The important thing is that Gao Yi is now a multi-millionaire.
Regardless of the future prospects, Gao Yi is actually satisfied with what he has now.
Very, very, very satisfying.
With nearly 20 million US dollars, what could Gao Yi be dissatisfied with? Even when he was working hard, he didn't feel how rich he was. Now that he has escaped and settled down, when he can finally relax and concentrate on spending money, Gao Yi finds that he seems to have achieved financial freedom.
Gao Yi would definitely go to the United States after taking the money. One reason is that he had nowhere else to go, and another reason is for safety. The CIA has activities in every country in the world, but it is under the most stringent surveillance in the United States.
So Gao Yi chose to buy a house in Los Angeles.
Gao Yi casually found a Chinese agent to buy a big house, but found out that he was cheated, which proved the truth that when fellow villagers meet, they will stab each other in the back.
Buying a house was just a small episode. Gao Yi now had a strategic partnership with the FBI, and had deep interests tied to the biggest and most established corrupt police in Los Angeles. He also had a powerful gigolo as a middleman, so solving this kind of thing was really just a small episode.
Four members of a black-hearted real estate agency gang that specialized in defrauding Chinese people were sent to prison, and they received compensation three times the deposit, plus an additional $240,000 in income, and this little episode was over.
In the end, Gao Yi spent $3.6 million to buy a mansion of his own.
Of course, it is not a top-notch luxury house, but it is a two-story villa with a good environment, a lawn, and a swimming pool. It only cost 3.6 million US dollars, which Gao Yi thinks is quite cheap.
Then Gao Yi spent 6 US dollars to buy a car, a BMW Series GT, in black. The reason why he bought this car was because when he saw the car, he thought it looked good, low-key, economical, and easy to drive.
Mainly because he had been in the Middle East for a period of time, driving Khaled's car, and was used to seeing Rolls-Royce, Bentley and other cars for transportation, as well as a number of supercars that cost millions of dollars. After he established an incorrect value system for cars, Gao Yi was indeed very frugal for spending less than $100,000 to buy a car.
Then he spent nearly $100,000 on electrical appliances, so Gao Yi had little else to spend money on.
Gao Yi has a house and a car, and he lacks nothing materially.
Then there’s the girlfriend, Gao Yi doesn’t have one yet.
Although Lucy follows Gao Yi wherever he goes, she can't be considered Gao Yi's girlfriend in any way.
First of all, it feels very strange. Gao Yi doesn't want a robot girlfriend who is obedient but has a screw loose. And Lucy is so beautiful and dangerous, it is impossible for him to let Lucy go alone.
And Luca is very busy now. He has realized his own value and is busy working as a headhunter for the National Intelligence Agency.
The commission for each person is $50,000, regardless of their level of skill or personality. Luca is only responsible for recommendation and Abdullah is responsible for review. If they think the person is suitable, they will start poaching him or her. They can either buy him out as a consumable or hire him or her with a high salary. The main feature is to recruit talents without any restrictions.
Three months have passed, and Luca has recruited 23 people for the National Intelligence Agency. Basically, at least half of the members of the National Intelligence Agency's latest action team were recruited by Luca.
Luca was busy, but the others had nothing to do.
Feng Biao took one million US dollars, which was a 10% compensation from Gao Yi. Then Feng Biao took the money and went to Russia, saying that he wanted to see how the widows of his comrades were doing. After that, if he had nothing to do, he would go around wandering around, to make up for the regrets of his previous pauper days and to feel what the life of a rich person is like.
Li Jie lived a simple life. He returned to the studio and continued to make guns and sell arms.
Li Jie has just imported a batch of brand new AK47s from Europe, which are made in Poland. The bolts need to be cut and destroyed, then brought back to the United States and replaced with semi-automatic bolts, changing from fully automatic to semi-automatic. Most of the original gun parts are retained, and then they are sold to gun fans who have a special liking for AK.
Gao Yi is very rich now, and he likes guns. Apart from their relationship as colleagues, Gao Yi is Li Jie's big customer. He buys guns for tens of thousands of dollars. He is definitely a big customer.
No one knew where Lin Xianghua went. He followed them to the United States and stayed with Gao Yi for a few days. When he felt there was nothing to do, he took the money and went out to travel.
Anyway, everyone has their own hobbies, so spend the money when you have it.
The Sky Garden must have been disbanded, and the rest of the time will be a dormant one. The best outcome is to use the money on hand to live a stable life for three years, waiting for the situation on Sharman's side to be settled, Khaled can return to the country to get his property back, and Gao Yi and the others can become billionaires.
If nothing major unexpected happens, I will live a life of wealth and glory in this way.
Gao Yi began to understand the troubles of Khaled and Shaman.
I have so much money that I don’t know how to spend it. What should I do all day?
It’s empty, especially empty.
Although Lucy hasn't done anything yet, she has already occupied the position. Sooner or later, she will be Gao Yi's person, so there is no rush.
But the days that you can see the end of at a glance are really boring.
Because of boredom, in order to normalize the relationship with Lucy as soon as possible, and also to be responsible to Lucy, Gao Yi now needs to teach Lucy how to be a human being.
First, he let Lucy get in touch with the outside world. After she came out of the monastery and no longer had to live a life of fighting and hiding every day, Gao Yi would take Lucy out for a walk, shopping, and watching movies when he had nothing to do.
Then tell Lucy about the role of money.
I also need to let Lucy know the value of life, so that she won't always take her life lightly, and hide when she needs to, especially not approaching all men as targets to be assassinated. Anyway, it's quite troublesome, but also quite fun.
Now Lucy knows how to go to the supermarket to buy what she needs. She no longer has to ask Gao Yi for everything she needs like before, and she had to do that with a lot of nervousness, anticipation, and anxiety.
The main reason is that Lucy's character was distorted by her upbringing. Her people-pleasing personality has been established. In the past, eating a piece of meat was a reward from the nanny, and giving her a new piece of clothing was a New Year's Day gift. As a result, Lucy has no material desires at all. Even when Gao Yi put a sanitary napkin on her during her menstrual period, Lucy would thank him for taking good care of herself.
Now, under Gao Yi's tireless teaching, Lucy knows how to spend money.
Lucy also learned to enjoy life. Her greatest enjoyment was lying on the sofa in the living room and watching TV. She could watch anything as long as it was a picture.
"Now you know how to spend money, I've opened an account for you!"
Gao Yi took out two cards, a credit card and a savings card.
Lucy lay on the sofa and looked at Gao Yi with lovely eyes.
Gao Yi said seriously: "There is one million US dollars in this card. You deserve it. If there is any action in the future, I will still deposit your share into your account. This money is yours and you can use it as you wish."
The word free reign worked its magic on Lucy.
What Lucy lacked most before was the power to dispose of things freely. Everything she had belonged to others, so she lacked the ability to dispose of things freely. But now, Gao Yi feels that Lucy is almost ready, so he has to let Lucy have her own account and her own money.
Lucy took the two bank cards while lying on the sofa. Then she said seriously, "They are all mine. Can I use them as I please?"
"Yes, they are all yours. You can buy whatever you want, but I suggest that now that you have learned how to drive, you can buy a car you like."
In the United States, you can't live without a car. Without a car, you can't even go out. Gao Yi wanted Lucy to have something of her own, and the first thing he thought of was to buy her a car.
Lucy, who just learned to drive, is now addicted to driving and is competing with Gao Yi for the chance to drive. However, Gao Yi has only learned to drive for a short time, and he likes and cherishes this first luxury car he bought in his life.
So, just let Lucy buy one herself.
Lucy stood up from the sofa. She said sweetly and happily, "Thank you, dear."
He didn't call him master, but called him dear. Even though it sounded corny, Gao Yi didn't want to leave any room for misunderstanding from outsiders.
As I said, you don’t have to eat it, but you have to occupy it.
Lucy was about to go out happily. She said happily, "Honey, can you drive me out to buy a car?"
"No need to be so polite, and no need to... uh, let's go buy a car, but this time I'm only responsible for driving you. What car to buy and how to buy it are all up to you. You are free to do whatever you want."
Lucy nodded happily.
"Let's go."
Gao Yi knew a car dealership where he bought his car. The dealership was very large and sold everything from low-end to high-end to supercars.
After driving over, Gao Yi deliberately stayed in the parking lot and said to Lucy: "Go and have a look. If you really can't make up your mind, you can ask me to give you some advice, but I hope you can complete the task of buying a car independently. You can freely use your own money and buy whatever you want."
Lucy got out of the car excitedly and walked into an exhibition hall that looked very high-end.
About five minutes later, Lucy came out.
Lucy opened the car door and got in. Gao Yi asked curiously, "Don't you see anything you like? We can go somewhere else. Also..."
“I’ve bought it.”
"Ok?"
"I went in and asked what car was worth a million, and they said there was a car that sold for $87, which was almost a million with the consumption tax and options."
Gao Yi widened his eyes.
Lucy was still very happy and said, "It's red, very beautiful, I like it, and the price is just right, so I bought it."
Gao Yi was stunned.
"I swiped my card and signed my name. Then they asked me to sign a bunch of documents. I said the owner was still waiting for me. Then I came out. They said they would take the documents and the new car to the house to complete the rest of the formalities. Let's go back."
Gao Yi was stunned for a moment, and finally said: "No, although I gave you one million, it does not mean that you can spend it all at once. Free use means..."
Finally, Gao Yi stopped preaching, he exhaled, and said, "Forget it, let's go home."
