If someone sold him a fifty-million-dollar villa that came with a twenty-million-dollar renovation for a hundred million dollars, he would also think that it was a good deal.
Moreover, he would need to buy a variety of items, including a variety of daily necessities as well as cars, yachts, and even helicopters after buying the villa.
In addition, he would also require a lot of human and material resources for maintenance to ensure that he would be able to go over and live there at any time and would always have maids who could provide their services to him at any time.
Therefore, spending one hundred million dollars to buy the villa and then buying a car, yacht, and helicopter might end up being tens of millions of dollars.
Furthermore, the depreciation cost was amazingly high, and it would easily amount to a depreciation of ten million dollars a year. Not only that, but the maintenance costs of the entire villa and the various equipment would also be tens of millions of dollars, and the staff wages would also be absolutely astronomical.
In other words, if the villa was left there untouched, he would have to burn twenty million dollars on it every year.
If he were to make two trips a year, this cost would then increase again.
Five years later, the original value of the villa which was worth seventy million dollars might indeed rise again, up to one hundred million dollars or even more than one hundred million dollars.
However, the maintenance cost and the depreciation cost in five years would have cost at least more than one hundred million dollars.
He had bought it for one hundred million dollars and then spent another more than a hundred million dollars on it. After that, he could finally sell it for only a hundred million dollars. So, how could this be considered an investment, then?
The Wade family had more than enough money in the past and so, Lord Wade had not bothered pursuing this matter even when Clayton had spent a few hundred million dollars or even more than a few billion dollars through various means every year.
But now, if Clayton were to be in charge of the management of Theodore’s family's business, it would be equivalent to arranging for a pig to be the boss of a group of ants. Even if we were to ask the question of whether the pig could be a good boss of the ants, even i f this group of ants worked to the point of exhaustion and did not even take a single bite of the food, they might not be able to feed the pig at all.
