Outside the NYSE, two young men were chatting.
"When I have money, I'll show you what it means to spend like water. I'll eat a hot dog and toss one away. See that Regency Hotel over there? I'll book two rooms, one for an afternoon nap and the other for sleeping at night.
Right, and I'll need two, no, four girls to take turns attending to me!"
"Wow, you'll really be rich. If I had money, I'd open an account and do nothing all day but buy stocks. Spending a hundred dollars every day, how cool would that be!"
Listening to their conversation, Harry Sinclair, who had just come out of the NYSE, had a complicated expression. With those kinds of thoughts, you want to spend money like water? The current Harry Sinclair really wanted to tell these two that real extravagance is spending a million dollars every day like him!
That's what you call spending like water!
He had thought that Donnie Block's side was at its last gasp, but every time he thought Donnie Block's side was out of money, they would sell off some of the Sinclair Oil Corporation's shares.
In this cycle, it turned out not to be Donnie Block who ran out of money but himself, who managed to spend the million dollars he had just borrowed last night within a single day!
Now, his side was faced with cash flow problems again!
And at Donnie's side...
"I think Donnie Block's side has run out of cash. Look, the sell-off this afternoon is definitely the slowest we've seen in a while!" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
Hein Howell spoke beside Harry Sinclair.
By now, Harry Sinclair had truly become blinded by rage. If yesterday Harry Sinclair's gambling mentality was at fifty, then now it was at ninety!
"Exactly, Donnie Block is done for. As long as we can hold on for one more day, yes, just one more day, Donnie Block's side will definitely collapse!"
The psychology of a gambler cannot be reasoned with using normal logic.
Even the remaining ten percent of Harry Sinclair's rationale understood that he had been dragged into the mire by Donnie Block. If he backed down now, the stock price of Sinclair Oil would definitely plummet due to Donnie's actions.
Then, he would not only face losses of millions but also have to repay the money he borrowed during this time.
Thinking of this outcome.
Harry Sinclair couldn't bear it, and now he needed to borrow money again!
So, like last night, Harry Sinclair went to the Regency Hotel and met James O'Neal and Robert Stewart again, proposing once more the idea of borrowing money.
"Believe me, you must trust me this time. Donnie Block really can't hold on anymore. There's just a little left. If you two can trust me and provide some financial support, I guarantee that in less than a month, I'll repay everything, principal and interest!"
James O'Neal and Robert Stewart looked at each other, then shook their heads in unison.
As the saying goes, those involved are blind while the bystanders see clear. Both had realized that Harry Sinclair had completely lost his rationality in this battle, and the duration of the fight had been too lengthy.
They had begun to sense something was off. Every time Donnie Block seemed like he couldn't hold on, he would timely sell off a startling amount of Sinclair Oil shares.
Such a situation instilled a sense of fear in them and made them for the first time truly reconsider their stance on the war!
Perhaps, the Harry Sinclair they were sure of may actually not win.
And Donnie Block, whom they had written off as a certain loser, might just defy all expectations and claim victory in his first battle on Wall Street.
Considering all these conditions, James O'Neal and Robert Stewart had made up their minds. No matter what Harry Sinclair said, they were not going to lend him money this time.
Facing the two who would no longer lend him money no matter how desperately he pleaded, Harry Sinclair suddenly exploded in a rage without warning.
"I understand now, you two must have already made a deal with Donnie Block. Yes, just like that waste Eduardo Doheny, you've betrayed me. You're all traitors, shameful traitors. Just you wait, when I defeat Donnie Block, you'll regret your decision tonight!"

After saying that, Harry Sinclair slammed the door furiously and stormed out, leaving James O'Neal and Robert Stewart looking at each other in consternation.
But soon, they came to their senses. This was not the time to be distracted by such matters.
"I don't know what ace Donnie Block still has up his sleeve, but I think the chances of Donnie Block winning this time are infinitely close to success!"
James O'Neal said gravely, looking at Robert Stewart.
Robert Stewart also had a grim expression, "If we had known it would come to this, we should never have opposed Donnie Block. Now I suddenly remember Albert Furr once warned us, Donnie Block is someone very adept at hiding his strength and very good at uniting all forces that can be united."
