《Doomsday Pillars》004.Money Money Money Money
Advertisement
The next day, Alex checked his to-do list, it did look like a shopping list: 100 hectares of land in Bali, building materials, equipment, vehicles, medical supplies, lots of food and weapons. The last one would be tricky since weapons were very hard to find in Indonesia.
To prepare all these things he needed a large amount of money and he needed it fast. Because even if he had the money ready, he needed time to prepare.
Today, Alex went to his office. He needed lots of people to build his base. Fortunately, he owned a development company and where else could he find better people than in his own company? His own people. He actually knew most of them really well and some had worked with him for more than 10 years, some from the very start.
Alex called all of his managers; finance managers, construction managers, project managers, and human resource managers. Honestly, his last 10 years of Doomsday experience somehow made him barely remember who all of these people are, but these people were all he had. He told them his decision to start a new development project in Bali.
He gathered all his other employees and made the announcement. With the new development project in Bali, he would stop all projects and gave them two choices. The first choice was to join the Bali project and immediately move there with their family or to resign and receive 2 years of salary in advance. All employees needed to make a decision by tomorrow and prepare to move in 5 days. With these choices, it would somehow separate the employees who only worked for the money and the ones who trusted him.
His next agenda was to sell all of his assets, so he called Nina, his finance manager. Nina was his most trusted manager ever since the first year of the company. In fact, he had known her for a few years before that.

All of his company's assets could be counted at 120 billion Rupiah(Indonesian currency), around $10 million US dollar. He worked tears and sweat to get the company to its current stage, but in the end, he decisively sold all of the company’s assets right away. With its abrupt selling, he would get at most $6 million, but the $1 million was something he could take right away. As for the rest, it would take a week or two any longer than that would be pointless. After all, when the end of days comes, this money would be just a paper. So in a way, he still would get a bargain.
However, one million dollars was not enough for his shopping list. He needed to take a risk.
In his previous life, he remembered a particular survivor in Bali. He had said the reason he had gone to Bali was that he won a lucky sports bet with 50:1 odds. He took the vacation of his life in a 5-star luxury treatment for 1-month. However, he swore how unlucky he was if because he got stranded by himself in Bali. The guy wouldn’t stop blabbering about how lonesome he was and whatnot. Still, that unfortunate story might become a fortunate story for Alex.
Alex contacted his brother Hendrik. Different from him, his brother achieved his success from a few shady businesses, a good businessman but an awful gambler. He almost always loses most of his gained money from gambling. His brother might not be the most reliable person, but Alex trusted him. Alex told him about one particular soccer match with the 50:1 odds and fortunately, the match was tomorrow. Alex gave his brother all of his money to bet.
"What the... are you serious? I know some way to bet this kind of money without raising suspicion, but are you sure this team will win? 50:1 is not a number randomly made, it almost guarantees the opponent will lose."

If that team did lose, then everything would go down the drain. However, in the end, Alex had to take the risk. He didn’t have the time. Alex left the money to his brother.
The following day, he got two good news. The first was out of 300 or more employees, around 200 of them decided to go to Bali and the second good news, of course, was about the money. His brother went to his house and told the news. It really was true, his money multiplied to $50 million! Alex then purchased a ticket for his brother and told him how important it is to come to Bali.
Now, Alex had $50 million on hand and another $5 million from his company in a week or two. Now it's shopping time.
