I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Can’t Even Take Out 5 Billion, Still Claiming to Be Rich? (Second Update)

Editor: Henyee Translations

After receiving Sun Dian’s call, Chu Chen told Meng Yao not to cook, and they’d showcase her culinary skills next time. Today, they would eat out.

After half an hour of conversation with Sun Dian, Chu Chen had gained a substantial understanding of Lingyun Capital.

Lingyun Capital invested in various industries. Although not extensive, it was incredibly broad. The scariest thing about Lingyun Capital was its terrifying connections!

As for the internal struggles between Sun Dian and CEO Zhao Guangji, Chu Chen wasn’t very interested. When Sun Dian brought it up, Chu Chen proactively changed the topic.

He didn’t want to take sides for the time being.

“It’s about time. Shall we talk while eating?” Chu Chen suggested after glancing at the time.

“No problem,” Sun Dian nodded.

The group headed outside together.

Inside Eastern Hanhai, two uniformed staff were leading a pot-bellied middle-aged man around.

Trailing behind were four burly men in black suits, the middle-aged man’s bodyguards.

“Mr. Huang, how do you feel after looking at several villas?”

One of the staff cautiously asked.

This middle-aged man in front of them was considered a “God of Wealth.” It was said that he kept millions in cash in his trunk all year round.

This time, per the manager’s request, the two were accompanying the middle-aged Mr. Huang to view villas.

“Not impressive, those villas are too ordinary for someone like me,”

Huang Peng said disdainfully.

The two staff sighed when they heard this. The two villas they’d seen earlier were very expensive, yet they were deemed lacking.

“Huh?”

Walking along the road, Huang Peng suddenly brightened up at the sight of a villa not far away.

“That villa looks nice; let’s have a look inside.”

Having said that, Huang Peng headed towards it.

Upon seeing where Huang Peng pointed, the two staff’s expressions changed.

Mr. Huang sure knew how to pick a place.

“Mr. Huang, please wait a moment.”

“Mr. Huang, this villa already has an owner.”

The two staff hurriedly caught up to Huang Peng, trying to stop him.

This was Villa No. 1, previously belonging to a prominent figure in Jiangzhou. It was rumored to have been bought by a mysterious person.

“Mr. Huang, perhaps you could look at other villas?”

The staff suggested, since this villa already had an owner.

Otherwise, Villa No. 1 would have long been claimed by another big figure in Jiangzhou, not leaving it to Mr. Huang from another province.

“It’s already owned? No big deal.”

“Just have him sell it to me.”

Huang Peng displayed an indifferent attitude.

“I don’t have anything else, just a lot of money!”

As he spoke, Huang Peng was about to enter Villa No. 1, when Chu Chen and Sun Dian’s group happened to come out.

“Huh, what a coincidence.”

Huang Peng laughed loudly and asked,

“Who among you is the owner of this villa?”

“It’s me, what’s up?” Chu Chen responded.

“It’s you?”

Huang Peng was taken aback upon seeing the young man who stepped forward, surprised that the villa’s owner was so young.

“Well, I fancy this villa, why don’t you sell it to me?”

“Villas here seem to be around 100 million yuan each. I’ll offer you 110 million, let me have it.”

Huang Peng displayed an air of wealth and power.

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled helplessly and replied,

“I’m afraid that’s not enough.”

“Not enough? How about 120 million?”

“150 million!”

As Chu Chen did not agree, Huang Peng continued to raise the price.

“Alright then, just tell me how much. I might not have much else, but I have plenty of money to spend.”

Huang Peng said confidently.

Hearing this, Sun Dian’s subordinate couldn’t help but comment. @@novelbin@@

“With so much money you can’t spend it all? You must own a mine or something?”

“Huh, you’re actually correct.”

“I do have a coal mine.”

Huang Peng said proudly. It turns out he was a nouveau riche “coal boss.”

“Tell him how much my villa costs.”

Chu Chen looked at the two staff members and spoke casually.

“Mr. Huang, this is Villa No.1. The original price was 300 million, and now it’s even higher.”

Hearing this, Huang Peng was stunned, not expecting it to be so expensive.

“Just name your price.” Now mentally prepared, Huang Peng still didn’t want to give up.

“This number, as long as you can afford it, I’ll sell.”

Chu Chen held up one hand and spoke.

“Hmm…”

At this sight, Huang Peng hesitated.

“Alright, 500 million, I’ll buy it.” Huang Peng gritted his teeth and agreed.

However, Chu Chen shook his head,

“You got it wrong, not 500 million, but 5 billion.”

A mere 500 million was too small an offer for his villa, was this a joke?

“What, 5 billion, are you crazy?”

Huang Peng shouted.

Even if he sold everything, he couldn’t come up with 5 billion.

“You can’t even afford 5 billion and claim to be wealthy?”

Chu Chen shook his head helplessly, preparing to leave with the others.

At that moment, Huang Peng’s four burly bodyguards suddenly blocked Chu Chen’s path.

“Today, I’m offering you 1 billion, sell me the villa or you won’t leave.”

Huang Peng spoke with a thickly threatening tone.

Though it’s said that a powerful dragon does not oppress local snakes, accustomed to being a local tyrant in his hometown, Huang Peng was determined to give it a try.

“You can’t do this, Mr. Huang.”

“Mr. Huang, what are you doing?”

Seeing this, two staff members hurriedly tried to stop Huang Peng.

The fact that Chu Chen could buy Villa No. 1 from that big figure naturally made the staff realize how terrifying his background must be.

“Don’t get in my way.”

Huang Peng said discontentedly, and one of his bodyguards blocked the two staff members.

“Thinking of using force?”

Chu Chen spoke softly,

“Do you believe that as soon as you make a move, your mine will be gone?”

Now Chu Chen owned Junlin Group, Shark Live, Shuitian Villa, and Lingyun Capital, his connections had become terrifyingly extensive.

Dealing with a nouveau riche was a piece of cake.

Huang Peng thought he was “a powerful dragon” pressing down on this “local snake,” but unfortunately, he got it all wrong.

Who was the dragon, and who was the snake, wasn’t yet certain?

“My mine gone? Hahaha, what kind of joke is this?”

Huang Peng laughed heartily, completely disbelieving it, as he had his backing.

“My name is Huang Peng, my coal mine is in… feel free.”

Huang Peng even announced his identity boldly, showing no fear.

Just as Chu Chen was about to speak, Sun Dian interrupted, “Why should Mr. Chu bother with such a trivial matter? Leave it to me.”

Although it might not be possible to have the coal mine shut down, giving Huang Peng a scare to make him fearful was well within Sun Dian’s capabilities.

Having been with Lingyun Capital for over twenty years, Sun Dian certainly had his own connections.

Just a small-time coal boss anyway.

The very next moment, Sun Dian made a phone call.

“Making a call? Who to? Can you control me?”

Huang Peng sneered. He knew that someone like Chu Chen, a local, would certainly have connections, but at most they were in Jiangzhou, in Tiannan Province.

His coal mine was far from Tiannan Province. Could this guy’s connections reach that far, what a joke?

Just as Huang Peng was smugly self-satisfied, his phone suddenly rang.
