"Everyone, go change into your summer clothes. The changing rooms are over there!" Willy pointed to a room nearby. Seeing this, everyone quickly pulled out their summer clothes and headed inside. After all, they were all still wearing thick winter coats and pants, and this was an island — even at night, the temperature was still in the twenties!

Once everyone had changed, they stepped out in light, comfortable outfits: tank tops and shorts for the guys, and beautiful beach dresses for the girls. Even though it was night, they still wanted to look good. They all climbed aboard the open-top bus on Wonder Island.

"So refreshing! This sea breeze is making my heart flutter! Hahaha! I haven’t felt this relaxed in years!" Owen said, feeling great.

"Are you implying that I make you nervous normally?" Paisley asked, pinching Owen's ear.

"Babe! Let go, there are people around!" Owen quickly protested. "You’re embarrassing me! Let go already!"

    Breakfast was light, and by the time everyone woke up, it was nearly noon. They casually ate a bit, then quickly changed into swimwear. Some relaxed in the sun, some swam, and others took photos."Willy, how much did this island cost you?" Owen asked casually."This island was part of a business deal. The funds came from other partners," Willy explained."Oh, so an island like this must have cost hundreds of billions, right?""Yeah, but there are smaller islands that can be a lot cheaper. The environment might not be as great, though. I was surprised when I first came here. This island is huge, with an airport, a dock, and plenty of amusement facilities. If you like it, you can stay here long-term.""That depends on whether Tian can behave! By the way, Willy, have you received the invitation?""Invitation? What invitation?""The World Businessmen's Friendship Meet-Up on January 7th in Singapore. It’s an event where the heads of

    After the phone call, Violet walked out of the room in a sexy bikini, looking a bit shy."Hmm, Violet may be pregnant, but her figure is still top-notch! No wonder she's my Babe!" Willy couldn't help but praise her.Hearing Willy's compliment, Violet finally relaxed a little."Willy, Violet never wears bikinis. She usually wears those weird swimsuits that wrap her up like a dumpling! But this time, she's really gathered the courage to try one! Violet's belly's pointy, I think it’s a boy!" Peyton teased."Peyton, you're paying attention to this?" Willy chuckled."I’ve heard, if the belly's pointy, it’s usually a boy, and if it’s round, it’s a girl. Not sure if it’s true, but it's an old tradition, so it might be accurate! You better get ready to be a dad! But listen, when Violet has the baby, you can’t just focus on the kid and neglect her. If you do, I’ll take you on! Even though you’re my boss

    Amidst the laughter and cheerful atmosphere, lunchtime arrived!In addition to the basic seafood, Willy specifically instructed the chef to prepare a few mild dishes for the ladies. Violet loved seafood, but she knew she couldn't indulge right now, so she nibbled on some of the vegetables the chef made while eyeing the seafood spread, imagining herself enjoying it."Violet, once you’ve had the baby, you can eat anything you want. I’ll get you a team of chefs to cook a different meal every day!" Willy promised."Don’t! After I give birth, I want to be a sexy mom! If I can breastfeed, I’ll do it myself. If not, once I’m healed, I’ll hit the gym! When my child’s a teenager, I’ll take him out and have people call me 'sister'! That’s going to be the peak of my life!" Violet said, her eyes sparkling."Calling you ‘sister’ would be weird, right?" Willy raised an eyebrow."I mean, I want to

    “Owen, I’ve received an invitation directly from President Orson’s secretary, inviting me to the business networking event you mentioned. I’m planning to attend. Would you like to come with me?” Violet asked.“If Willy is going, then I’ll go with you as well. It’s been a year since I’ve seen a lot of old friends! Let’s set a time,” Owen replied.“Great, the event is on January 7th. Can we leave on the 6th?” Violet proposed.“Of course, just let me know what time, and I’ll follow your lead. I have a feeling you’ll be the most important person at the event. In the past, companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Volkswagen would dominate the conversations, and families like ours—NVMD—couldn’t get a word in. But this year, it looks like things will be different!” Owen said.“Well, I haven’t thought that far ahead. I just want to meet

    "My God, the young master is back!" Elijah's words left Willy speechless. What was that supposed to mean?"Willy! We've been so worried about you! We thought something had happened to you! We were about to go look for you!" Penelope said, her tone slightly reproachful."Huh, I just went for a walk, got some fresh air. You guys didn't think I fell into the sea and drowned, did you?" Willy replied, trying to lighten the mood."I wasn't worried about that. I knew you'd come back. Hehe," Violet, Ethan, and Clara were the only ones not concerned, as they'd seen Willy's flying vehicle go at full speed.Penelope, Paisley, and the others had no idea about the vehicle's capabilities, so they had been worried. Earlier, Violet and the others had thought that Willy had gone back to New York to handle business."I'm fine, don't worry. Everyone should have fun and enjoy themselves! Violet, did you have a good time today?""Yes, I had a wonderful time. The

    "Boss, that's pretty generous. Just for the New Year's party, you're giving out over ten million in red envelopes!""Just over ten million? That's a bit too little! Let me recalculate!" Willy said, clearly showing that while he cared deeply for his employees, he was also determined to make things right.He took a pen and wrote down some numbers for a while before finally arriving at a satisfactory red envelope distribution plan."Let’s go with this. Keep it simple! A total of 8,000 envelopes: 5,000 with a value of 5,000 each, 2,000 with 8,000 each, 800 with 10,000 each, 100 with 20,000 each, 90 with 50,000 each, 9 with 100,000 each, and finally, the grand prize — one lucky person will get 1 million.""Boss, can we join in too?""Of course! But Liam, do you even need that 1 million?""No, not really! But boss, we’d like the luck bonus too! That extra bit of luck will make the whole year feel exceptionally smooth for us!"

    "You’re flattering me too much. In that case, arrange things, and I’ll give a brief talk for two minutes tomorrow!""Of course, please come with me, Willy! We’ll head to the hotel right away!"The Singapore Wenting Hotel, located near Singapore Harbor, is a towering 101-story building with all kinds of recreational facilities, accommodations, dining, bathing, and more. It’s owned by the Governor of the Port and heavily invested in for the purpose of hosting world-class business events. It’s designed to cater to top-tier global trade associations.Willy was assigned a room on the 99th floor, the same level where members of the Four Major Families stayed. Since the business suite was huge, Willy had Owen, Logan, and Liam stay with him. The rest of his entourage, including Wione and others, were sent to Logan’s room."Willy, what do you plan to talk about on stage tomorrow?""I haven’t figured it out yet. I’ll just wing it!"

David, who was over forty but appeared very cultured and dignified, greeted him warmly."Hello, David. You overestimate me. All my achievements are just a matter of timing and coincidence!""Willy, you’re being too modest!" A red-haired girl standing next to David spoke up."Willy, this is Betty Dupont! She’s the head of the Dupont family delegation for this conference!""Hello, beautiful lady!" Willy took Betty’s hand and kissed the back of her hand."This is Larry Jason!""This is Eric Rockefeller!""Hello to both of you!""Willy, hello!"The group immediately surrounded Willy, showering him with praise and expressing interest in collaborating with him to create even greater wealth, or even investing in Willy’s companies.

Meanwhile, the little prince of the UAE received a message from his parents saying they were on their way, aboard their flying vessel!During dinner, Willy and the others had a simple meal. Then, guided by the system, Willy went to a base on the outskirts of A Country to use the system's check-in feature."System, can’t I check in at NVMD? Why does it have to be in A Country?""Host, you've checked in too many times at NVMD. You won't get anything good from there anymore. I suggest checking in at another country, as what you're after is something that will help you increase your combat power.

    Willy's introduction caused a stir in the crowd. While many were skeptical of the fruit that supposedly restored youth, they didn't doubt the fruit that could boost male vitality as much."Heh, I know you might not believe in the youth-restoring fruit from our company," Willy said with a chuckle. "So, I’ve made a decision. Whoever bids for this fruit today can take it home without paying upfront. After you consume it tonight, come back tomorrow and we’ll all see the results. If it works, you can pay then!"The crowd found Willy's offer reasonable, and the bidding began."Next up, please give your bids for the first item!" the host announced."Let’s start with this natural, self-illuminating deep-sea diamond. There may only be one like it in the world! Starting price: 200 million dollars!""300 million!""500 million!"Before Willy could finish speaking, the crowd began bidding. On one hand, they were showing respect

  • 424: The First Auction

    "No way! Mine are just superficial things! It’s nothing compared to the wealth accumulated by your great families!" Willy downplayed it.But deep inside, he was absolutely confident. The wealth these four families had accumulated was no match for his own. From his patents to his investments and the market value of the companies he had acquired, nothing compared to what he had built. They were certainly wealthy, but for someone like Willy, whose wealth was enough to rival entire countries, money was no longer a measure of success. Fortunately, Willy remained humble and kept a low profile. Even his past treasures were kept private. The extraterrestrial diamonds and gold he had acquired had simply been quietly broken up and filtered into the market without fanfare.As Willy and Abigail entered the auction hall alongside the members of the four families, all eyes were on them. Many businessmen and representatives from large commercial associations, who had never seen

    The staff entered Willy’s items into the computer system and then proceeded with the evaluation process.By evening, all the evaluators had been unable to assess Willy’s items. Aside from the pearl, no one knew what the other items were. The dragon horn, the reptilian fruits, and even the glowing deep-sea gemstones were impossible to price. In the end, they had no choice but to leave the final determination of their value to Willy.After dinner, Willy was in his room playing video games when a staff member knocked on his door."Mr. Morgan, I apologize, but the evaluation team really couldn’t figure out what the items you submitted for tomorrow’s auction are. So, we’ve decided to auction them off early tomorrow, but you’ll need to personally introduce your items. Is that okay?""And what about the prices?" Willy asked."Mr. Morgan, we trust your integrity. You can set the prices for your items however you wish, an

    When Willy and Abigail found Adrian, he had just finished checking into the hotel."Mr. Morgan, didn’t you say you had work to handle today? Didn’t expect to see you so soon! And who is this?" "This is Abigail, my sister!" "Hello, Adrian!" Abigail greeted him first, knowing who he was. "Hello, hello!" "Adrian, Big Shot gave you permission for this trip. How much did he allocate for you?" "Mr. Morgan, Big Shot has given me full authority for this. He gave me a card, but I don’t know exactly how much is on it. From what Big Shot said, it should be enough to purchase everything at the auction, but I wouldn’t dare to do that, haha. Big Shot gave me a list in advance of the items we need to bid on. Would you like to see it?" Adrian pulled out a carefully printed booklet from his bag, and the items Big Shot wanted to buy were marked in it. Willy flipped through it, and there were indee

    "Willy, what’s going on?" "Abigail, I can’t tolerate employees who sleep on the job. After knowing that it was the headquarters checking the accounts, this person still acted arrogantly. I won’t give them any chances. I’ll have either Logan or Liam handle this matter. Listen up!" Willy immediately called Liam. "Boss!" "Liam, since the person in charge at Water Blue Island was replaced, the new person sent over problematic accounts. I called to inquire, and this person was sleeping. I called three times before they finally answered, and when they picked up, they were just throwing a tantrum. Take some lawyers with you and investigate the account issues. If there’s even a penny of error, I want Yates to be sued!" "Understood, boss! What’s the issue with the accounts?" "During the island’s opening, a quarter of income was reported as zero, while tax expenses were normal, an

    ChapterAbigail picked up the phone that Willy had pushed over to her and dialed the number at the top of the report. After a while, a woman answered."Hello, who’s this?" "Hi, this is Abigail, from Willy’s office." "Who? What 'gail'?" The person in charge of Willy Gold, part of Willy's group, didn’t recognize Abigail’s name, but hearing the mention of Willy’s office line gave her a clue. "I’m Abigail, calling from the headquarters. I wanted to speak with you about the report you submitted. There are two major errors in it that the head office wants to discuss with you." "Wait, you’re saying there are errors in my report?" "Yes, are you at your computer? Please open up the report and check the data on page 28, specifically the special profits. The decimal point is in the wrong place, which has resulted in Willy Gold’s profits being off by a factor of ten. C

    When Willy returned home that evening, he was surprised to find that all the household staff, nannies, and bodyguards had already helped Violet arrange the new luxury goods that had arrived. What surprised him even more was that everyone in the family was already there!"Mom, Dad! Is there some special occasion today? Why is everyone here?" "Hehe, silly son, we couldn’t celebrate your birthday when you were away on a business trip. Now that Violet mentioned the brands were delivering clothes, we figured it’d be a good time for everyone to celebrate your birthday together. Come on, sit down, let’s eat!" "Ah, the day’s already passed, there’s no need for all this! Besides, I really don’t have a habit of celebrating my birthday!" Willy tried to protest, but Violet had already pulled him to the dining table, where the whole family began singing Happy Birthday. Willy closed his eyes, making a silent wish for everyone&rsqu

    The next afternoon, Willy was lounging around at the company when Logan told him, "Boss, the luxury items from LVMH have arrived. They just informed me that they’re on their way to your house now!""Great, I’ll have Eleanor take care of it. I already told Violet yesterday, and we’ve cleared two floors to store all these clothes and such."When Willy contacted Violet, she was busy studying pregnancy knowledge with Eleanor. This being Violet's first pregnancy, she hadn’t experienced many of the common pregnancy symptoms, so she hadn’t really paid attention to some of the important things to watch out for. But with her second pregnancy, especially being twins, things had been tough for her early on. Only in the past couple of months had she felt better, though she still occasionally suffered from nausea or dizziness. The doctor explained that because the time between this pregnancy and her first was too short, her body hadn’t fully reco
