The next day Alex look at the list of things to do but it seems the list turn to look more like a shopping list. 100 hectares land in Bali, building materials, equipment, vehicles, medical supplies, lots of food and weapons. weapons are very hard to get in Indonesia. To prepare all this things he need lots of money and he need it fast. Because even if he has the money ready his list need time to prepare.Today Alex went to his office. To build his base he need lots of people, fortunately he have his own development company, where else he can find better people than the people from his own company, he actually know most of them really well, some even already work with him more than 10 years, since the very start. Alex then called all his managers, finance manager, construction manager, project manager and Human resource manager. He tell them his decision to start a new development projects in Bali.
He gather all his other employee and star making the announcement, with the new coming development project in Bali, he will stop all the other current projects, so he give them only 2 choices, it will be their own decision. the first choice is to join the Bali project and immediately move there with their family. or the alternative choice is to resign and receive 2 years salary in advance. All employee need to make decision by tomorrow and prepare to move in 5 days. With this choices it will separate the employee who only work for money and the one he can trust.
Now his next agenda is to sell all of his a.s.sets, so he call Nina, his finance manager. Nina has become his most trusted manager since the first year, in fact he knows her a few years before that. All his company a.s.sets can be counted at most 120 billion Rupiah (Indonesian currency) around $10 million US dollar. In the end because he need to sell all his a.s.set right away, he will only get at most $6 million, $1 million he can take right away, and the rest in a week or two, longer than that there will be no point. When the end of days come this money will worth almost zero. so in a way he still get a bargain.
One million dollar are not enough for his shopping list. therefore he need to take a risk, there was one particular event on his past life that he remember from one of the survivor in Bali. He said the reason he went to Bali is because he win such a lucky sport bet 50:1 then he ended going to Bali for 1 month 5 star luxury treatment. he ended up swearing how unlucky he was if only he didn"t win the bet he may not be ended up stranded by himself in Bali. The guy cant stop blabbering about this all the time. This unfortunate story might ended up become a fortunate story for Alex.
Alex then contacted his brother Hendrik, different from him, his brother achieve his success from a few shady business, a good business man but an awful gambler, he lost most of his gained money from bet. His brother might not be the most reliable person but Alex trust him. He tell him about one particular soccer match that famous with 50:1 odd. Fortunately the match is tomorrow. Alex give his brother all off his million dollar 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 are not a number randomly made, its almost guarantee the opponent will loose"
At the end Alex just have to take the risk. as he doesn"t have enough time. Alex then leave the money to his brother.
The next day he got two good news, one is out of 300 plus employees 200 of them decide to go Bali. the second good news of course about the money, His brother come and tell the news. and it really is true his money just multiply to $50 million. Alex also give ticket to his brother. and tell him how important it is for him come to Bali.
Now Alex have $50 million at hand and another $5 million from his company in a week or two, its now shopping time.
