Even though $1 billion was a huge amount, hearing it didn't make Benjamin flinch. After all, the university was substantial, and he anticipated making even more profit.Universities have significant operational costs, including faculty salaries, administrative expenses, maintenance, and utilities. Let's estimate this at $500 million annually.Universities generate revenue through tuition, research grants, endowments, and possibly commercial ventures like bookstores or cafeterias. Assuming diverse revenue streams bring in $700 million annually,With effective management and strategic investments, the university's revenue can grow over time. Let's assume 5% annual growth.Assuming a steady growth rate of 5%, the profit in the following years could increase. After the first year, it might be $210 million, then $220.5 million, and so on. As time goes on, he will make more than the initial $1 billion investment.He looked at Mr. Wellington and asked, "Is that your final price?"Wellington,
Benjamin shook his head and said, "Thank you for this, but I just left a relationship. I'm not ready to be in one."Richard nodded a bit embarrassedly and said, "Okay, no problem then."Twenty minutes later, the door opened, and a man around the age of 30 walked in. He was the assistant to Richard Wellington.Immediately, he got in, greeted Wellington, and then pushed the file in his hand to Richard, saying, "Everything is complete, Boss Wellington."Richard nodded and said, "It's okay; that's it. You can leave."The assistant nodded and also said, "Mr. Wellington, a few minutes ago, before getting here, I saw a notification of an amount of $1 billion received in the account. It's just that it had no sender name; that place was blank."Richard smiled and gave Benjamin a quick glance before looking back at his assistant and saying, "Don't worry, I know about it."The assistant nodded and then walked out.Benjamin smiled and said, "You have the money now; time to also sign and take over
Benjamin, amused by the sight, couldn't help but chuckle. "Good, my son. Now, let's discuss how you can contribute to the new era of Elysian University."The principal got up, his face still showing a mix of shock and submission. Richard Wellington nodded at Benjamin and said, "Mr. Hayes, I'll take my leave now. My contact information is on the paper; if anything, just give me a call."Benjamin acknowledged with a smile, "No problem." He then gestured towards the seat, adding, "Have a seat, principal. Let's talk."The principal nodded and, albeit hesitantly, calmly sat down, his eyes fixed on Benjamin.Benjamin cleared his throat and wrote an account number down, stating, "First of all, profits should be exactly as they are and be deposited here. There is nothing like cheating; everything should go on smoothly, or I won't take it lightly."The principal nodded, assuring, "Don't worry, Benjamin. Profits and everything will come in as usual."Benjamin continued, "Secondly, no one should
Till the end of the test, the beautiful madam kept helping Benjamin.After an hour, the rest came to an end, and she took everyone's sheet."Benjamin Hayes, meet me in my office after 10 minutes," the beautiful lady said and then walked out.Huh? Benjamin was stunned. Why would she ask him to meet her? Was it because she was coming to yell at him?"I don't even know her office or her name. Where do I even go to meet her?" he thought.All of a sudden, the lady who was shut up by the beautiful madam walked over to Benjamin angrily, with two guys following her. The lady was Irene Azuka, one of the most troublesome ladies in class for Benjamin. Irene was also very beautiful but disliked Benjamin, and she was only attracted to rich guys."Irene, what's wrong?" Benjamin asked with a frown.Irene frowned and said, "Do you know madam disgraced me because of you? You are poor, so what gave you the audacity?"Benjamin chuckled and asked, "What's wrong with you? She shut you up. Why are you comi
Really? Benjamin nodded and said, "Okay, you both wait for me; I'll be there right now." After the call ended, he placed the phone in his pocket and decided to go to the dorm first before going to the madam.Within 10 minutes, Benjamin got to his dorm. Immediately as he entered, he saw his two friends, Austin and Matthew, who were all seated with their phones and pressing. There was no one in the dorm.He smiled upon seeing them. Austin and Matthew's eyes also fell on Benjamin, and then he got up."Wow! Benjamin, where are these clothes from? Austin was the first to ask."Oh my God, that's a Louis Vuitton sneaker, man. Did you win the lottery?"Benjamin laughed and brushed off the question by saying, "Forget about that, but tell me how far with NexaSky Aerospace? Were you guys hired?"Matthew's expression changed. He shook his head and said, "It's sad; we couldn't even meet the manager. Without connections, it's really hard to get a big company to work for."Benjamin nodded and asked,
"What? You found your mom?" They both exclaimed in shock. Benjamin nodded with a smile and sat down. "Yes I did, she's working in the states and also she sent me $50,000 to rent and even asked me to call her when it's finished for another one. Benjamin had formed this as he didn't want to tell them the whole truth. "Man, I'm so happy for you." Austin and Matthew said, giving him a hug. "This is two lotteries together, that is more grace brother." Benjamin nodded with a smile and said, "So you guys shouldn't worry when I sometimes don't return back to the dorm righ?"Austin and Matthew nodded in agreement. "We get it, buddy. Enjoy your newfound wealth. Hopefully, she sends you a hefty sum soon, and you can show off to Dorothy, Maverick, and the others who've been looking down on you."Benjamin chuckled but didn't say anything. He owning the school alone gave him the 100 percent right to drive both Maverick and Dorothy out, but he felt it wasn't a good idea for that. "So Benjamin,
Benjamin shook his head and said, "Don't panic; nothing big. I was just remembering you. That aside, it seems you're new here. I'm Benjamin Hayes; what about you?" He stretched out his hand.The lady stared at Benjamin's outstretched hand for a moment but chose not to shake it. "I'm Cordelia Winslow," she stated calmly.Benjamin smiled faintly, retracting his hand. "Nice meeting you, and you have a nice name, Ms. Cordelia. Also, since you're new here, it's cool, and then most important, I just wanted to say, you're very beautiful."With a smirk, Benjamin rose to leave. Cordelia cleared her throat, interrupting his departure. "Where will you be tonight?""Maybe sleeping, just sleeping," Benjamin replied after a brief pause.Cordelia inquired further, "No girlfriend to go out with at night?"Forcing a smile, Benjamin shook his head.Cordelia bit her lower lip before suggesting, "My friend is celebrating her birthday tonight. I'll be there with others. Would you love to join then?"Rolli
Lily, with a smirk, added her biting remark, "Why would I have control over a poor man who doesn't have control over his own life?" This quip elicited a laugh from Sarah.The sales lady and guy exchanged uncertain glances, trying to comprehend the escalating tension.Benjamin, seemingly unaffected by Dorothy's words, continued with a disarming smile."Are you still in love with me? You keep worrying about me." His words were delivered with a touch of playful sarcasm.In love with you?" Dorothy scoffed derisively. "Hey dude, my boyfriend is a million times better and richer than you. Why would I waste a second on a lowly rag like you? Those borrowed clothes of yours don't make you successful, you know."Benjamin chuckled softly and retorted, "Miss Richness, it seems your man bought a new Range Rover yesterday, so what brings you back to a 4S shop or was it just for hype?" He asked with a smirk. "Wow! A new Range Rover?" The widened eyes of both the sales lady and guy hinted at their i
