Joe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 41: Let the Auction Begin
The Auctioneer's announcement dispatched the elite guests as they all began making their way to their seats to get the event started. Joe Cole's table was quite away from his new presidential and billionaire friends.“See you later, champ.” They said to him as everyone went their way.Joe Cole called for President Carter's attention to enquire something of him quickly before they separated, “Sir, I wanted to inquire about something,” he said to him.President Carter lent him his undivided attention while the others went on their way, “Okay, Cole. What is it?” He asked Joe Cole.Joe Cole leaned in further, hoping to keep the conversation as private and inaudible as possible, “The futuristic technology at the Olympus Estate, thanks for that by the way. That is a whole load of experience.”President Carter smiled, realising how much the young man would love the features, “It would interest you to know that I don't have it myself nor have I experienced its use personally.” The President m
Joe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 42: Exclusivity Versus Expensivity!
As Michael Wonderstone set the auction in motion, the tensions in the atmosphere became palpable. These wealthy folks were about to engage in the most brutal nonviolent war in the world of the elites. Auctions and bidding as such were usually a tug of war for these folks and although it usually ends peacefully and well-civilized, the aftermaths are sometimes dire. Conflicts could arise from the event during the bidding for several reasons and it was also an avenue for participants to piss off each other or just demonstrate their financial superiority over one another.Many who were there had a person or two they placed on their radar. And although Michael so brilliantly mentioned that exclusivity was far more important to them than expensivity, most of the guests didn't care about the exclusive items he offered, all they cared about was ousting their rivals.Some of the guests within that category were the Sullivans who were known for their ruthless and aggressive approach to the bid
Joe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 43: 12-Carat Blue Moon Diamond Necklace!
The crowd of elites burst into laughter at Michael's question to Joe Cole, he was right with his asking. Joe Cole was too young to be in their midst and they didn't know him. For all they cared, it was an interruption to their societal privacy for a school kid to come in and make audacious bids among them.The Elite Society wasn't built based on how much its members had only, there were other factors of authentication to approve a person's membership. Although interested candidates had to be recommended by an already established member, such a candidate would also have to face the procedure of recruitment.After the laughter settled, Michael asked his question again with a more gentle but serious tone, “Who invited you here, Mr. Cole?” Joe Cole's nervousness increased but Rachael held him still. Before he could answer, a young lady walked up on stage to Michael Wonderstone and whispered in his ear, “He is President Carter's guest.”Michael got hold of himself immediately when he hear
Joe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 44: 90 Fucking Million Dollars!
For the anomalous and dainty nature of the Blue Moon Diamond Necklace, the crowd had engaged in all kinds of bidding battles, tossing each other over the rope like it was a Royal Rumble wrestling match. The last man standing was just about to break his bank to obtain for himself this rare gem and thereby win the fierce battle over the priceless ancient jewel. However, he didn't have to because there were others who had better plans for the fashion piece and also bigger budgets to throw around.One of those was Mr. William Sullivan who had taken over the bid from the last man at 85 million dollars. Huge money to toss on a $40 million jewel piece but two things were more priceless to him than the jewel itself: towering his financial superiority over everyone else and owning a one-only item.“Oh!” The guests exclaimed their reactions to the richest man in the world and his oversized bid. The last bidder got frustrated by Mr. Sullivan's last-minute strike, jumping in at the last second
Joe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 45: Newcomer Underdog!
Michael's call for the Sullivan to make a counteroffer silenced the chattering crowd as everyone listened to hear what the response from the Sullivans would be. Joe Cole had just tapped their egos and they needed to put him where he belonged.As the necklace was revealed and everyone battled for it, Joe Cole had imagined how beautiful it would be on Mercury's perfect neck. The celebrity star who was specially invited to feature the necklace on her neck made it even more appealing for the audience but to Joe Cole, it was nothing compared to how it would look on Mercury.His imagination of the necklace and Mercury made him go all out for it with the determination to get it. As he and Diji discussed earlier, if $10 million swept her off her feet, imagine what a 12-carat Blue Moon Diamond Necklace would do to her. He was bidding for something he hoped to use as an enchantment for his lady of interest. But, for the fact that he came in late to steal the show from the Sullivans was simply
Joe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 46: $160 Million Gone!
Joe Cole's exuberant bidding had disrupted the order of business for these folks and as it stood, they needed more than anything else to know his financial status and capabilities. The campaign call to reveal his net worth set everyone on edge for their various personal and collective reasons.Michael is left with no choice than to vet the young man but he had already gotten assurance from President Carter that Joe Cole was legit and financially capable. However, for the demands of his elite audience he needed to do more.“Ladies and gentlemen, I'd love to speak on behalf of the young man and state that he is capable enough to handle the responsibilities he is taking on and he is in no way playing a fraudulent game with us.” He announced to them.Whatever he said didn't fall well with the guests as they dove into another round of murmuring. “We insist on knowing what his net worth is.” One voice, a male figure, spoke up.“Yes!” Some others joined him.“Folks, this is the United States
Joe Cole: The New Money King Chapter 47: Splashing A Whopping $750 Million!
“I too vouch for him!” President Carter joined in to wow the crowd. The guests wanted to object to the list seeing that it was two families, the Carters and the Seymours, who vouched for Joe Cole but they couldn't because they were not registered as a family. Philip, Evelyn, Victoria, and James, all registered individually to the society for times like this. After all, they were all billionaires individually and this gave them the right to vote on matters as individuals and not a family.With four members vouching already, Joe Cole needed one more and the most important one at that. According to the law, one of the five guarantors must be a member of the governing board, and so far, none of the four who vouched for him was a member. This was going to be a tough one as other members who could have taken that last spot were all against him, one of those was Mr William Sullivan.“It is evident that he can't get the last guarantor, especially since those who are vouching for him are the i

Another fancy lady from among the guests called out.“We have a competition now, what do I hear?!" Michael smiled at the prospects of an exciting bidding war looming.“13 million!" Victoria upped the stake to join the battle.President Carter and his friend, Philip, watched as their wives tore down every other woman to get their hands on this fine Gustavo Collection. They had already done their bit and challenged for the items they wanted, and although they didn't get to win any bids, they enjoyed the fun that came with it.But the women on the other hand never actually engaged in any bid since the show began and this was their first and only bid to engage in.
