Life at the Top

As the globally recognized stock god, Winston Benett had already made a name for himself in the 1990s’ financial industry around the world.

While the financial industry was considered one of the more sophisticated and closed-off ones, the man truly made his name known among ordinary folk when he started to auction his lunch for charity in the year 2000.

Jasper still remembered that this year in 2001, Winston Benett’s lunch would be auctioned off at 18,000 US dollars, which was the cheapest in history.

In the year 2020 in his past life, Jasper had reincarnated before the auction that year. The latest he remembered was 2019. One might ask how much his lunch was auctioned off at.

4.56 million US dollars, which was 31.54 million Somer Dollars according to the exchange rate at that time.

Jasper had always thought that Winston Benett had made a great move by doing so.

For it had gotten him fame and actual benefits.

While it was done in the name of charity, Jasper’s keen eyes and understanding of things had greatly exceeded those of ordinary people. He was well aware that Winston Benett auctioning his lunch was a much more complicated and wise business skill.

Ordinary people would never understand why someone would spend tens of millions for a plate of steak that Winston Benett had eaten before, but the increase in reputation was much worth the price paid.

The Maybach quietly drove past New York’s streets and boulevards before it finally arrived at a seemingly normal restaurant by the streets.

Jasper realized that a white old man seemed to have been standing at the restaurant’s entrance for quite some time.

That man was the legendary Winston Benett, an old man with a kind smile that never left his face.

Jasper had already stepped down from the car before Doyle could open the doors for him, and he made his way toward an approaching Winston Benett.
