Super Spender

Chapter 368: 362: Now I Know

For the wealthy! The most terrifying thing is when their money is still unspent, but they have already departed. The saddest thing is, their wealth can’t be enjoyed if their body fails to support them. So then, why amass such wealth? Thus, Yancy Lucas understood very well the charm these teas held for the wealthy, especially the rich tycoons.

At their level, losing tens of billions wouldn’t matter. Because once you have a certain amount of money, it’s all the same: the difference among them is not significant and what matters most is health. On the flip side, if your health is in excellent condition, doesn’t that mean you have more time, more opportunities to earn even more money?

Even if the top tycoons in the Moon of West Lake Club teamed up, they could make even Company A kneel in its attempt to penetrate Flame Nation’s market! When capital is united to a certain extent, it is no longer describable as terrifying. Therefore, Yancy Lucas had instructed Mason on what to do, even though she didn’t quite understand why, with Kay Lee’s status and position in Moon of West Lake, she still accepted the endorsement.

But Yancy Lucas was no fool, of course she heard that Kay Lee was in charge of the Moon of West Lake because of the man behind her. As for who that man was, Yancy Lucas was not quite sure, but she would find out sooner or later.

Another thing that made Yancy Lucas somewhat regretful was that she wanted to join the Moon of West Lake. But now it had adopted an invitation-only system. Without a doubt, if it was an invitational system, Kay Lee’s influence within it would be quite significant. Yancy Lucas was still considering joining the Moon of West Lake.

After instructing Mason, Yancy Lucas immediately called the members of the board to inform them about this. After all, although she was middle-aged in the board, she held limited shares. The majority of the directors held more shares than her. Therefore, she also had to inform these directors about this matter. As for these directors’ information, Yancy Lucas knew they were not less informed than her, so she was not worried they would object.

Compared with Kay Lee, Elias was just a soccer star. Without Elias, there would be other soccer stars and even if there were none, new soccer stars would continue to emerge. So what if Elias wasn’t there?

After Mason hung up the phone, he was somewhat dazed. However, thinking about Yancy Lucas’s words, he immediately went to Finn Lewis.

Mason informed Finn Lewis of Yancy Lucas’s decision and Elias’s decision. Finn Lewis simply laughed and said, “I see.” Then he smiled and said, “This might delay your ad shoot.”

“No worries, no worries.” Mason quickly waved his hand and said.

“Hmm, okay. So, how much is Elias’s penalty for breach of contract?” Finn Lewis looked up at Mason and asked.

“Uh?” Mason was stunned, not understanding why Finn Lewis asked this. He was somewhat puzzled.

Finn Lewis did not continue to ask, but only looked at Mason. Mason paused before ultimately answering assertively: “His penalty is 30 million Federal coins.”

Actually, this number was already quite large. Because no matter how famous other celebrities were, none could possibly command as exorbitantly high an endorsement fee as Kay Lee. This endorsement fee had even surpassed some world-class superstars’. Because celebrity endorsement can endorse many products simultaneously, the endorsement fees for these products would not be set excessively high.

Even if Owen Things and Coca-Cola were both seeking Messi’s endorsement, neither company would endlessly raise the price. Both would retain some tacit understanding. This was the tacit agreement among these top companies. Too high an endorsement fee would benefit no one.

“Oh.” Finn Lewis made a noise when he heard the figure, but then did not say anything further.

Just when Mason was wondering why Finn Lewis had asked this, he saw Finn Lewis pulling out a checkbook from his pocket, quickly writing a number, and handing it over.

“What’s this?” Mason was stunned, totally puzzled.

“Elias’s penalty for breach of contract.” Finn Lewis shrugged.

“Uh?” Mason was dumbfounded… What was happening? Of course, this penalty could not be said to be Elias’s, strictly speaking. The penalty is for both parties to the contract. So it’s clear what Finn Lewis’s offering the money meant – forget about lawyers, he wanted to terminate the contract forcefully. After a pause, Mason said, “Hmm, Mr. Lewis, no, no, I can’t take this, Owen Things can’t take it either, it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Lewis.”

Mason now knew Finn Lewis’s name. Although Mason felt the name was familiar, he had not recalled why. He was pondering among Flame Nation’s top tycoons.

“Just take it, consider it my way of helping you settle this with Owen Things and the other party quickly. As for lawyers and the like, forget about it, they’re too slow.” Finn Lewis said lightly.

Mason was momentarily frozen, unsure whether to accept the money. Will, who was next to him, suddenly spoke up, “Mr. Mason, just take the money.”

After Will said this, Mason suddenly came back to his senses. Seeing Finn Lewis holding the check was not a good look, so he had to accept it. After taking it, Mason gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Lewis, isn’t this letting him off cheaply? Our lawyers can make him get not a penny of the breach of contract penalty and still obediently terminate the contract.”

“Heh, I know.” Finn Lewis laughed, then continued, “That’s too slow. As for other matters, they have nothing to do with you guys at Owen. If you want to continue shooting commercials, look for other soccer stars. As for this penalty for breach of contract, just take it as is. The money doesn’t matter. Since he’s unwilling to apologize, I’ll teach him to be polite to others.”

Mason was momentarily stupefied, not understanding what Finn Lewis meant by “too slow.” However, even if he didn’t understand, he had to accept the check for now. It was, after all, just a check. Whether or not to cash it was still up to him. At any rate, he could always tear up the check later. That would be the same as not having accepted any check. For now, he should consult Yancy Lucas.

“Well, Mr. Lewis, you guys can chat. This issue can’t be resolved immediately and the shooting of the commercial might not be possible. Mr. Lewis and Miss Kay Lee can stay here and enjoy the island for a few days. This is the most beautiful time on Riven Island.” Mason said with a laugh.
