Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell

Chapter 400
Wanda had already eaten her fill. She patted her round belly and said with
satisfaction, Tm so full."
Carlisle and Gareth stopped eating upon hearing Wanda's words.
Carlisle knew that it was time to leave now that Wanda was full. Gareth also
understood that Carlisle would be in a hurry to take her home after she was done
eating
Max chuckled. "Today's dinner was an extraordinarily good time. Let's meet again
some other time?"
Gareth nodded in agreement. "Sure, let's eat again tomorrow."
Carlisle smiled wryly. "Alright, we've had the steak and some drinks. Now it's time
to
get down to business."
Gareth and Max looked serious upon hearing that.
Carlisle took a sip of Wanda's soda and asked, "How much was the loss of Scarlet
Corporation?"
"Around 600 million dollars." Gareth did not keep the staggering loss a secret. It
was
better to be frank if he wished to work well with Carlisle. This was also the purpose of chatting over dinner, after all. It would be easier to open up to each other if they had grown close.
Carlisle continued to ask, "Then, how much do you still have in hand now?"
"I still can mobilize around 300 million dollars. Thankfully, you helped me to stop the loss in time. Otherwise, I would also have lost this 300 million dollars as well as my
family!
Gareth chugged another glass of beer. The beer flowed down his chin and dripped onto his chest. His misty eyes were full of hatred.
Wanda was a little frightened, so she grabbed Carlisle's hand and muttered, "I'm
scared."
Carlisle held Wanda's hand and assured her. "Don't be scared. Gareth is not a bad
guy.
Even he would not be able to accept it if his childhood best friend were to betray him with the intention to ruin his family.
Max kicked Gareth under the table again and reminded, "Keep your emotions in
check."
Gareth took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Carl. That's my bad, I'll drink as punishment."
"No, don't. It's not a big deal." Carlisle tried to stop him but was too late.
Gareth downed a whole bottle of beer.
Carlisle spoke again, “Then, I'll continue with our deal. I have two types of games that I wish to make. But the budget of initial research and development is approximately
200 million dollars."
"You want to make games?" Gareth stared at Carlisle in disbelief.
Max said with a smile, "Computers and the Internet are not common now, so I don't think there's much investment value in the gaming industry. It's better to invest in physical businesses."
Carlisle took a sip of the soda that Wanda had filled the glass with and said indifferently, "Max, you're saying you'll only invest in common things?
"By the time the Internet and computers become common, various games will be
launched and gamers will have made their choice. Then, there truly won't be much
investment value anymore."
Gareth nodded in agreement after listening to Carlisle's explanation. "You're right, Carl. Current successful games generate extremely high profits. Plus, gamers are youngsters whose parents are still working. They're usually single and don't have many financial burdens, so they can afford it.
"While the Internet and computers are not yet common, and there are a few games in the market, we can indeed invest in games. It depends on whether your games are, profitable or not."
Max had never played online games before and rarely used computers. He felt that he was unable to engage in the conversation, so he just had some snacks and drank beer while he listened.
Gareth casually took a gulp of his beer and asked, "Do you think you can make money with the two games?"
Carlisle smiled confidently. "It is definitely profitable. No, it is highly profitable."
Max asked out of curiosity, "If the games are a success, how much will the annual profits be?"
Carlisle held out three fingers for the two to see.
Max asked, "30 million dollars?"
Carlisle shook his head.
Gareth took a guess, "300 million dollars?"
Carlisle smiled slightly as he stared at Max and declared, "Be bolder."
They both exclaimed in shock, "Three billion dollars?"
Only then did Carlisle put his hand down.
Max's hand shook while holding the glass. "How... How is that possible?"
