0165 Rapid Expansion

  In a society like the Baylor Federation, the phenomenon of spending as much as you want and enjoying as much as you want is so embedded in people's values and worldview that no one would see anything wrong with doing so.

  It was true that there was some hatred of the rich in the society, but more people were still very much in pursuit of the issue of wealth.

  About this, Catherine's mother felt deeply, some neighbors are surrounding her, anyone can see that Catherine and a rich man went away, they can't afford to flatter Catherine and the rich man they don't know, but flattering Catherine's mother doesn't seem to be a big problem.

  Maybe at some point her mother would be able to give these people a nice job?

  At this moment, Catherine didn't notice a detail, after Lynch registered her membership, another clerk closed the store door and put up a sign that said "currently entertaining VIPs", prompting those who might want to enter the store to go to the nearby cafe to wait for a while.

  The drinks and pastries they consume at the café are paid for by the clothing brand store, but they must show their membership card for the brand store.

  Inwardly, the supreme level of enjoyment allows people to be satisfied with the atmosphere of "exclusivity" created by money.

  Externally, this goodwill can also inspire some people to aspire to membership and, of course, please other members.

  At least those who can afford the membership won't take advantage of a cup of coffee and a slice of pancake, that's too embarrassing.

  Those who really wanted to take advantage of it didn't have that opportunity.

  The entire second floor of the hotel was filled with such stores, which were different from the "luxury brand stores" in some commercial centers. In some people's eyes, all the stores selling average-sized clothes were not luxury goods, or they were only luxury goods for ordinary people, they lacked substance.

  In Catherine's selection, a total of two sets of summer clothes, four sets of fall clothes.

  It was almost September, and the weather would gradually cool down after entering October in Quriland, so the chances of wearing summer clothes would not be too great.

  Fall will last for a while, about two months or so, and then winter.

  There wasn't yet a specific trend in winter fashion, so it would take until November or so for the design of the winter clothes to come out, and then Catherine would have to make another trip.

  After choosing the clothes all that was left to do was to wait, Catherine's requirements would be sent to the headquarters after she had double checked them, and then there would be a specialized senior tailor to hand sew her customized clothes according to her requirements.

  It wasn't really that intimidating, the so-called handmade was essentially just a gimmick.

  In fact such a prestigious store that could open stores all over the country was, it wasn't essentially the top of the line, they would use pre-made parts sewn according to size only, as far as craftsmanship was concerned the handmade and the assembly line were just a little different in terms of the last step.

  But even so, there were still a lot of people who enjoyed the service.

  On her way out, the clerk gave Catherine a member's gift, which contained some high end cosmetics and some women's items, which were particularly popular these days.

  If the newly registered member was a man, they would send a tie, belt, money clip and other small gifts.

  With all the clerks escorting them, the two of them left the store, and the sign hanging on the door of the store became open for business, and everything became the same as before again.

  "That's scary, can you tell me how much all this cost?" , Catherine inquired in a small voice, "Do I need to take a deep breath?"

  In the process Lynch hadn't told Catherine how much he'd spent, and Catherine hadn't taken the initiative to ask about it, it would have embarrassed both of them, and she knew how to maintain Lynch's decency.

  Now that she was out of the store, curiosity got the better of her and she wanted to know what kind of number it was, if it was as breathtaking as she thought it would be.

  "Not much, 12, 000 dollars." , this amount of money was no longer too much in Lynch's eyes, he chose this brand, mainly because it had a certain influence among young people, especially those trendy men and women.

  Don't underestimate the university or its complexity, there are only two kinds of people who can afford to go to college in this day and age.

  The first kind, they have not even entered the school to get a guaranteed admission, as well as full scholarships and all kinds of research subsidies, these people are commonly known as preparatory scientists, even the "nerds" such as people are not enough to "height" half of them.

  These people will inevitably appear in all kinds of high-end research institutes in the future, presiding over one after another experiments that will change the course of mankind.

  The other kind of people are those who have a little bit of family background, the middle class at most, and those families who are about to enter the middle class, otherwise even if they buy the promotion insurance, they still can't afford to finish the whole college, unless they sell their houses, which is not even enough.

  Families like the latter have an understanding and knowledge in dealing with trends, fashion, and dressing that goes beyond the average family.

  Some brands that many children from ordinary families may not be aware of may be heard and known from time to time for these people, but not necessarily owned.

  When Catherine occasionally appeared in front of people wearing such clothes, if someone wanted to bully her, they had to consider one thing, and that was whether they could afford some unpleasant consequences and whether they could afford to pay this price.

  People who can and do pay twelve thousand dollars a year just to pay their membership dues, and who can easily pay thousands of dollars for a dress, can not hesitate to come up with the same amount of money to make some people regret it, and do so with ease.

  Those kids in the downtown area just give them a thousand dollars and they'll dare to stab someone in the middle of the night with a dagger in their pockets.

  For twenty, thirty, thirty, fifty thousand dollars, they've dared to kill people.

  So, no matter if these people would respect, honor Catherine, but at least they would fear this girl, there wasn't much Lynch could do for her, only this much.

  The girl rolled her eyes after hearing Lynch's words, "I don't know if I'll be able to save ten thousand dollars in my life, how am I going to pay you back?"

  "You've already paid back part of it ...", Lynch looked at her, "Happiness is the best reward, I've laughed as much today as I have in the past almost three months combined, or more, and that's the best reward. "

  "Isn't it often said that happiness is the universal elixir?" , when the economy was good people were all sorts of optimistic, what sort of statements, in short the pursuit of happiness was the right thing to do, this value hadn't been abandoned by the mainstream society until now, which was why things were getting worse and worse, they hadn't been alerted to it yet.

  Lynch took the girl's hand and walked towards the next store, he didn't tell the girl that she actually had to pay extra for those clothes, "I'll give you a perfect start, whether or not you can come out with a perfect ending is up to you!"

  It was only a day later, in the Quriland City Gym, that Kathryn witnessed a spectacle that she would probably never forget in her life.

  Perhaps Richard was trying to hit the ground running outside of Sabine, or perhaps he was trying to catch up with Lynch faster and not fall behind, Richard was very attentive.

  He had set the seats for the auction to 6,000 positions, which made the Mobile auction much bigger than it looked in Sabine City, although there were only 1,000 more actual participants.

  Of course, in addition to the chance to get a free belt, these people wanted to get up close and personal with a miracle - a downtown condo that started at "a dollar" and has a current market value of more than $50,000, and everyone thought they might have a shot at it, and that's what made them show up. That's why they showed up.

  From the start, the atmosphere was electric, and before the auctioneer even had a chance to warm up, the mood was already natural.

  Catherine had never seen so many crazy people before, and the fact that they had gathered here not for a sporting event, but just to spend money, sometimes the more she knew, the more powerless she felt.

  Even more powerless was the fact that she had to keep a smile on her face, from time to time a reporter would come by and take a picture of them and her cheeks started to spasm from smiling.

  "Well done, Richard." , stood aside Lynch tossed Richard a Solid Color, a $49.90 Solid Color, which was already high end.

  Of course he actually had another one in his pocket, only worth twenty bucks or so.

  If Richard had done a bad job, he would have only gotten the twenty dollar one, but he did do a good job now, and he was justified in enjoying a little better treatment.

  Richard smiled his mouth could not close, he thanked Lynch for his promotion, this guy is obviously several years older than Lynch, but he is shameless sometimes Lynch doubt he will not hesitate to call out the pronunciation of "dad".

  Inhaling the high-grade Solid Color, looking at the boiling sea of people under his feet, he sniffed, the stadium is filled with the intoxicating fragrance of wealth!

  With a five percent personal commission, for a Mobile auction like today's, Richard was probably going to make over twenty thousand dollars, maybe a little more.

  No matter how much he earned, Lynch earned even more, and with a henchman like this, Lynch didn't mind sharing some of the profits with him.

  "Of all my partners, Richard, you're the one I'm most optimistic about."

  "Only you can put me at ease, and only in you can I see a light, like gold."

  "One month ... ", Lynch stretched out a finger, "As long as the turnover of the four Mobile auctions in a month is not significantly lower, I will arrange for you to be in charge of the branch on the capital side! "

  All of a sudden a rush of hot blood went straight from Richard's crotch to the top of his head, the capital is the only first tier city in the state, a bigger market, a bigger audience, as well as ... more substantial profits!

  His felt all the blood boiling in his body, the people who had treated him like a parasite, who had treated him like garbage were going to regret their short-sightedness after all, because he was going to be the second most successful person besides Lynch, and he was going to prove it.

  When that time came, he would fulfill his dream!

  Throw his cousin and his former female classmates on the bed and beat them up until they cried and grunted!
