When Henry said he wanted to spend money, he really started throwing money away as if it was water.
They went to the best hotel in Suesville’s city center and asked the head chef to cook for them. There was a lot of food on the table and all of it was extremely expensive. The three of them could not eat everything but they still ordered a table full of food. Just the wild yellow-fin tuna from the East Sea was 2000 bucks each. However, this was the most low-profile item on the table. There was also a lobster that was half a meter in length, the lobster was so large it had to be carried to the table by three male servers. That one dish was 60 thousand bucks.
Then, they ordered some soup for each of them that cost 888 bucks each. Basically, it was just cabbage soup. However, the ingredients used to make the soup were decadent. There were abalone, conpoy, sea cucumber, three years old ham, the diaphragm of free range three years old ducks, and the diaphragm of a wild boar inside. These rare items represented just the ingredients used for the consommés of the small cabbage.
After the consommés were out, the ingredients would be thrown away, and in the end, they would be concentrated into these three bowls of soup. Just one sip would cost at least 200 bucks.
The three of them could not eat too much. Even if Julian was someone who was trained to fight and thus had a larger appetite, the group still left half of the food uneaten.
Henry did not care. He paid the bill of 160 thousand bucks and asked the staff of the restaurant to take care of what was left so that there would not be any wastage. The staff’s eyes lit up as the manager sent Henry away enthusiastically. After that, they sauntered to the best nightclub in Suesville.
In this time and age, the nightclubs were not as good as the ones in the future. A lot of discos and dancehalls would call themselves nightclubs. Even though they were not wrong, it still lowered their statuses. This nightclub in Suesville was truly very lively.
The boss seemed to have surveyed the market before. Therefore, the location, the decoration, and the atmosphere were not inferior to the ones in Harbor City or Waterhoof City.
Henry booked a booth that required a minimum spend of 88888 bucks. At this point in time, there was still no fancy liquor that would go viral, like Ace of Spades. The nightclubs still had their conscience, so they would not sell Ace of Spades like they were treasures just because some rich second-generation hiked up the price.
The alcohol that was available here was all good alcohol. For example Louis XIII, Martell XO, and Royal Knight. There was none of those fake alcohols that was mixed with low-quality foreign alcohol that the artisan workshops sold for more than ten bucks. These were all authentic.
Aside from that, Henry covered an entire table with the most expensive cocktail in the nightclub. It was named Alluring Fox and was sold for 666 bucks per glass. The whole table looked extremely colorful.
From the looks of this, Henry was the most dazzling guy in the room.
From ancient times to the present, regardless of where in the world you were, there was always only one universal truth. If you had money, you would be the boss.
Jasper’s booth was immediately surrounded by a lot of girls in tight skirts.
Even though it was 2001 and not 2020 where people were more unrestrained, the essence of the young ladies’ pursuit of true love remained the same. All of them were very hot and behaved unrestrained as they hugged Henry and laughed with him. This made Henry very happy.
Jasper did not have girls in his arms like Henry. Instead, he sat with Julian at one side while drinking some delicious cocktail and eating the fruit platter. He chatted happily with Julian.
A few of the girls came to flirt with them, but Jasper would not reject them, He would still entertain them. However, everyone could tell Henry was the one paying, so after they noticed that Jasper was not that rich, they started to treat Henry like the love of their lives as they flocked over to him.
“We just had a 160 thousand dinner so how much will we spend after this?” Julian was a little speechless.
While Julian worked with Jasper, his annual salary alone was a million bucks. Hence, one could only imagine how much he would get from his other subsidies and bonus. For example, after the high-end condominium developed by JW Real Estates was launched in Nauritus City, Jasper gave Julian a unit.
So, Julian was a wealthy man right now.
His assets were nearing tens of millions in value. However, Julian was poor before, so even though his income was high right now and even though Jasper would be willing to pay for him if something were to happen, Julian was still used to saving some of his money. He was not saving it for himself though. Rather, he would give it to his big sister.
Also, since he was always with Jasper, he did not have much chances to spend money. Sometimes when they went out of town, he would buy some gifts for his sister. However, Jasper would pay for what he bought as well. In any case, this dinner of hundreds of thousands of dollars was way beyond what Julian was used to.
“I think he will have spent 4 to 500 thousand this entire night.” Jasper crossed his legs and said nonchalantly.
Julian widened his eyes and said, “How extravagant.”
“Extravagant? This is what he’s good at. Look at his surname.” Jasper cracked a joke and laughed.
“When this first started, I wouldn’t dare to imagine spending tens of thousands of bucks in one night. Isn’t this insane?”
Jasper said to Julian when he saw that Julian had a look of disbelief on his face.
When Julian heard this, he nodded furiously. He was saying that he agreed that Henry was insane.
“However, after that, I understood. People have social differences. If someone makes only 2000 bucks per month, he would have to think about it if you ask him to spend 100 bucks. This is simply because of the fact that he only makes 2000 bucks per month.
“He has to calculate his expenses like food, rent, social life, transport, phone bills and so on. If he falls sick, he’ll need to buy medicine too. Then, the rest he will keep as savings. After a month, all of this salary would be spent, so how much will he have left?”
“On the contrary, what about someone who makes 2 million a month?”
“The circle he is in will be consuming at that level. He doesn’t have to save up nor does he need to. If he attempts to be frugal, he won’t be able to break into that circle.”
“Even though they say you can’t judge a book by its cover, most people are shallow. People don’t know each other and not everyone’s close with each other, so who are you to ask them to look inside and see what you’re truly good at?”
“They will be looking at what you wear and what you put on. They will also look at what car you drive and your young beautiful secretary. These are all things that people can see at just a glance.”
“If you have these things and they see it, only then will they think that you’ve passed and have fulfilled the basic requirements for in-depth communication. Only then will you be qualified to do business together. “Because of all this, he can’t be stingy. To other people, he’s consuming luxury goods, but to him, it is necessary.”
“When you have different means of making money, are in a different social class, and have different foresight, your thoughts on spending money will be different as well.”
