In fact, David Hamilton actually wanted to sign right now, but this time it was a big deal—twenty-five million. In this world, that's practically an astronomical figure. Although his parents spoiled him, he wasn't confident enough to make such a huge decision on his own. David Hamilton thought for a moment, then suddenly called over the driver: “Driver, did you bring the phone? Call my home for me, I want to ask if I can get approval.”

The driver quickly took out the phone and dialed. After David Hamilton took the call, he asked, “Hello, is this…”

Before he could finish, his mother’s voice already came through the phone: “Dali, what’s wrong? Are you short on money again?”

David Hamilton thought for a moment, sniffed, and said, “Yeah, I’m short. I made two deals, but there’s a big gap…”

“Oh? Our Dali is doing business now?” his mother exclaimed in surprise. “What kind of business? Tell mom all about it. Oh my, our Dali has really grown up this time, already knows how to do business.”

“I just bought some real estate…” David Hamilton sniffed again. “Altogether, it’s about thirty million…”

As soon as he finished, there was a “clatter” as the phone dropped to the floor on the other end. After a while, his father’s voice shouted, “You little rascal, how much did you just say? Th-thirty million?!”

Chapter 0011 Buying Houses and Raising Dogs

“Yeah, I just thought these properties were pretty cheap, so I bought them on a whim.” As the saying goes, the more you say, the more mistakes you make. David Hamilton didn’t dare say too much, keeping everything in line with the spendthrift personality of the body’s previous owner—at least he couldn’t let anything slip.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end, then his father said, “Dali, are you interested in real estate? But the area near Yelaixiang isn’t a good location. The appreciation potential for property there isn’t great.”

“I know,” David Hamilton replied as if it were obvious. “If the appreciation potential was high, I wouldn’t buy it. The main point is to squander money, right? But this time I didn’t squander much. Based on market price, I only wasted a little over two million.”

“Oh? So you mean, these thirty million worth of properties are actually worth twenty-eight million?” This time, it was his father’s turn to be surprised. David Hamilton did have a reputation for being a spendthrift, but he rarely calculated things so shrewdly. That’s thirty million in property, and only two million of it was actually wasted? Could it be that the kid really is interested in real estate?

“Actually, it’s thirty-three million, and I squandered about three million.” David Hamilton said with a grin, “So, what do you think? Is it okay or not? These houses will be really useful after I buy them!”

David Hamilton’s father was silent for a few more seconds, then asked, “So, Dali, what do you plan to do with all these properties? Can you tell me?”

That was a good question. What was he going to do with so much property? Speculate on real estate? He did have that idea, but it wasn’t something a spendthrift would say. Luckily, David Hamilton was quick-witted and answered decisively, “Raise dogs! I’m going to raise a big dog in each house, ten big dogs, a hundred big dogs! All purebred dogs. In the future, this will be the biggest cat and dog trading center in the city! I want the dogs here to be able to circle the world three times if you line them up!”

“My heart…” There was another clatter on the other end, and David Hamilton’s father almost lost his breath. This rascal—who spends thirty-three million on property just to raise dogs?! What kind of dogs are that valuable?!

Sitting to the side, Grace Carter almost fainted from listening. She’d seen spendthrifts before, but never anyone who could squander money to this extent. This was just inventing new ways to waste money, wasn’t it?!

That unfriendly older brother was burning with jealous rage.

Why? Why was he better in every way, yet David Hamilton ended up with such rich and indulgent parents?!

Back when he worked himself to the bone just to earn a few hundred thousand or a million, this kid could squander millions without batting an eye. What drove him crazy was that his parents not only didn’t scold or hit him, but actually supported him!

This just shattered all logic, didn’t it?!

Fortunately, David Hamilton’s family was truly wealthy beyond imagination. After a quiet discussion on the other end, David Hamilton’s mother spoke: “Dali, if you like it, then keep them. After all, they’re fixed assets, and you didn’t really waste that much. But, Dali, are you really interested in real estate? Or is it really just for raising dogs? There’s not much use in raising so many, you know.”

Actually, David Hamilton had just made up the dog-raising excuse on the spot. Now that his family had clearly agreed, there was no need to beat around the bush: “Honestly, I do think buying property is pretty interesting. I can squander money and expand my territory at the same time. I want to buy up this whole area, so in the future I’ll be the boss here. I can squander money however I want! I’ll have hundreds of lackeys, and every day I’ll walk my lackeys and their dogs around here. If I don’t like someone, I’ll set the dogs on them!”

Look at this little brat’s ambitions! David Hamilton’s mother couldn’t help but laugh and cry, turning to ask his father, “Honey, who would’ve thought our Dali would have such ambition? What do you think?”
