20 Spending

Raj was a rich man now, and he wanted to enjoy the fruits of his labour, not like other people and business men who would just invest the money back and rather stay humble and watch their money grow without ever being satisfied with their gains. In fact, Raj wasn't after wealth, it was just a tool to get what he truly wants, power

That's the thing about money, you slave away to make money, so to a certain extent you buy power, and with more power, you control the people with the best tool ever made, money. It's a vicious cycle. Raj understood this, he smiled to Dheeraj and said "good, withdraw 100 million from the capital you sold already and send it to my account". Raj then got up from his seat, looked at everyone in the meeting and told them "I'm sure you all have seen what it means to follow me by now, keep up the good job". Then he left, got into his car and went home.

On the way he received a message on his phone about the transfer of money to his account, a total of 100 million $. He had never seen so much money ever before, he didn't have to worry about taxes and stuff right now as it's only been 2 weeks since he made the money, he had already hired most of the best lawyers and accountants to take care of it, but he still specifically asked them to split the funds in 2 where the first half is based in the Caymen islands where he didn't have to pay taxes anyway but the other would still be based in India so that way he could portray that he is paying his taxes in India and he cares about his social responsibility, no one would know the actual gains his company made this way and even if they did, they could only find 50% of the truth

This way he would have more working capital in the dark for all the underhanded things he had to do in the future. Raj then came back to his senses and went to a fancy jewellery shop, he selected a platinum with diamond encrusted necklace and another simple yet elegant diamond necklace with a beautiful gold finish, he bought both of them and went home. As he entered the house, he could see that his family were all sitting in the hall together playing Antakshari, a singing game.

He could hear it was Nandu's turn to sing and she was singing an old Hindi song, and his grandfather was really vibing to it, Raj smiled and said "hey, hey some crow has entered the house can you see it? What is that sound?" Nandu who was singing looked at him with resentment. Nandu's father and mother both laughed, everyone else also joined and started to laugh. Yashu, Raj's mother contained her laughter and said "Stop it Raj, the first thing you do when you come in is tease my daughter-in-law". Raj made a sad face and said "looks like my mother doesn't dote on me anymore, taking her side already". Nandu nodded and said "of course, you're so mean she has to be on my side". Yashu said "I'm always on my son's side. Don't worry", Raj smiled and nodded, "of course I know that mom so I brought you a gift", saying that he took out a box and opened it, it revealed a platinum necklace with diamonds encrusted all over

Yashu was a little surprised when she saw the necklace and said "Hey, why did you get me this, you shouldn't waste your money on all this, you could've bought yourself something nice". Raj said a little seriously "mom, you've always taken care of me and put me first every time, this is just a small gift from my first earnings at my job, it's time to let me spoil you from now on and take care of you".

It was just simple words, besides, Raj was literally rolling with money now so it wasn't a big deal for him at all. Yashu was a little emotional when Raj said it like that, Raj picked up the necklace and put it around her mother's neck personally, she liked the necklace too. After this scene they all just talked for a while and went on with their work, after they had their lunch together, Raj told them that he had something to do and went outside, he sat in his BMW and drove to the Benz dealership to spend his money

As he entered the dealership, he went straight to the VIP box and no one stopped him, he was dressed nice and had a very good temperament so a manager came and guided him in. as he sat down he looked at the manager and asked him "I want a black Maybach, top-end spec for the interior, and I need the car as soon as possible, what do you think?", the manager was slightly taken aback, but he came back to his sense and said with a smile "sure sir, you've come to the right spot, we can get you the car in about 2 weeks at the latest. But sir, I have to ask, mostly everyone will get the car in white or silver, are you sure you want it in black?".

Raj looked at him with a serious face and asked him "What colour is your Maybach?"
