Chapter 1066: Chapter 674: Negotiations_2
Chu Mo talked incessantly for a while, but Liu Liu in front of him still seemed to only half understand. He didn’t say more, and just at this moment, Liu Liu suddenly looked alarmed. She immediately stood up, took out a brand-new pink mobile phone from her pocket, pressed the answer button, and began to talk quietly.
After a moment, Liu Liu, with a trace of hesitation in her eyes, suddenly turned her gaze towards Chu Mo. Covering the phone’s mouthpiece with one hand, she leaned in close to him and asked in a whisper,
“That… Mr. Chu, a few of my classmates say they are worried about me and want to come to see me. I’ve taken a month off from school, and these are my best friends. They’re worried and want to check on me. I’ve refused them a few times before, but this time they said if I don’t agree, they will break off our friendship…!”
Liu Liu’s eyes held a hint of difficulty and a plea. On one hand were her best friends and classmates from school, and on the other hand, her current situation indeed made it inconvenient to meet those friends.
Liu Liu had taken a month of sick leave to regain control of the four major families. Her classmates had called several times wanting to visit her, but Liu Liu had always made up various reasons to refuse them. Today was Sunday, her classmates finally got a day off, and since Liu Liu had not been seen for almost a month, they were very worried. So, this time they issued an ultimatum; if Liu Liu still wouldn’t let them visit, they would end their friendship with her.
Chu Mo could tell that Liu Liu actually cared a lot about those friends, because these friends were classmates from school who knew nothing of Liu Liu’s change in identity. Their friendship was the purest kind, the purest kind of friends.
Chu Mo hesitated only for an instant before he gently nodded and said,
“Since they are your friends, you should make the decision yourself!”
As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, the girl beside him nodded and then moved to the corner of the room to continue her phone conversation.
Chu Mo’s gaze returned to Geng Pan and Xuanyuan Fanghua beside him. Originally, he had wanted to take this opportunity to ask about some information concerning his old pal Li Fei. A year ago, Chu Mo’s best friend and college classmate Li Fei had just gotten married and then went to America. Chu Mo had established the fourth branch of the Longevity Club there, which was now under Li Fei’s management.
Li Fei had already made good progress in America, thanks in part to the support of the Ross family. Now, Li Fei could be considered to have a sizable fortune. Chu Mo had invested ten to twenty billion in him, but Chu Mo did not increase the investment. He tasked Li Fei with one main thing: to ensure the smooth operation of the fourth branch of the Longevity Club.
The Ross family had taken on the task of constructing the fourth branch of the Longevity Club, and six months had passed since then, with the club already beginning to take shape.
Chu Mo and Li Fei would speak on the phone every so often, but all he heard was Li Fei’s side of the story. Now that Geng Pan was here, Chu Mo wanted to chat with him about the fourth branch of the club. However, this blonde, hay fever-ridden man was clearly more interested in Xuanyuan Fanghua. The two of them kept chatting in various languages, their conversation seemingly profound.
Chu Mo didn’t want to interrupt them, so he said nothing and was just drinking by himself when the door to the lounge was pushed open. A breathtakingly beautiful waitress appeared respectfully in front of them.
The waitress at the door was Winnie from Maple Leaf Country, a professional model who had won third place in last year’s World’s Number One Goddess competition, and was one of the few divine beauties with a perfect score in attractiveness.
Later, when the Longevity Club was recruiting ladies, Chu Mo had gone to great lengths to recruit this maximum beauty.
Winnie, who had become the head maid, walked gently to Chu Mo’s side and bowed slightly, saying softly,
“Mr. Chu, the Saudi King and the Dubai King both wish to see you! Additionally, the world’s richest man, Thomas, says he has some matters to discuss with you.
Also, Young Master Yang and Young Master Long would like to pay Mr. Geng Pan a visit!”
Winnie from Maple Leaf Country, standing at an impressive height of one meter and eighty, was a professional model with perfect proportions. Crucially, despite her tall figure, Winnie was not of a skinny stature but instead possessed an enviable hourglass figure that would make the vast majority of women jealous.
Winnie was now completely Chu Mo’s person. Chu Mo had plans to promote her to be the fourth in charge of the club. However, because she was originally a maid, promoting her to the fourth in charge of the club so suddenly might be too abrupt, and the original three powerhouses of the club might have some thoughts on it. Therefore, Chu Mo had not made it public.
When the time was ripe with the release of the second batch of Longevity Pills, Chu Mo planned to move Winnie to the research department and then gradually elevate her status, making it easier for the club’s three leaders to accept.
“Let them in,” Chu Mo said flatly. Winnie, the beauty before him, immediately excused herself and left. Moments later, a gentle shuffle of footsteps echoed from the doorway, and as the door opened again, several familiar figures appeared.
Chu Mo, who had been seated, finally stood up. He took the initiative to step forward and warmly greeted them,
“My distinguished guests, the lounge was crowded earlier, and I couldn’t greet everyone personally. Please forgive my oversight.”
With Chu Mo’s warm welcome, everyone’s faces broke into hearty smiles.
As the guests took their seats, Awalid, the King of Dubai, was the first to speak,
“Mr. Chu, I’ve come especially to report on your investments in Dubai. Miss Qiu Shui is now the largest investor in Dubai. I recently awarded her our highest honor in recognition of her contributions to our city.”
Chu Mo had known the King for a year or two. He had first met the Prince of Dubai, Benxide, and to gain the Prince’s favor, he had invested a hundred billion, appointing Qiu Shui as the principal responsible party.
In just over a year, Chu Mo’s total investment in Dubai had surpassed three hundred billion, making him the largest investor in the entire city.
Chu Mo did not put on airs with this old friend. Smiling, he said,
“Your Highness, I’m hardly worthy of such reports. Our successful investments in Dubai have only been possible thanks to your and Prince Benxide’s strong support. It is I who should be thanking you.”
As Chu Mo finished speaking, the Saudi King suddenly interjected,
“Mr. Chu, our partnership with Saudi Arabia has also been very harmonious. However, recently Miss Qiu Shui has been diverting a significant amount of capital to Africa… You are aware of this, aren’t you?”
With the Saudi King’s remarks, Chu Mo’s expression tightened slightly. He now understood why the two Kings had sought him out together.
Lately, Chu Mo’s total investments in Saudi Arabia and Dubai had exceeded six hundred billion, essentially at a saturation point, leaving little room for rapid further growth. To find new avenues of development, Qiu Shui had set her sights on distant Africa, with its vast population and untapped market potential.
Naturally, as Qiu Shui shifted her focus to Africa, investments in Dubai and Saudi Arabia began to dwindle.
Now, as the largest investor in both Saudi Arabia and Dubai, if Chu Mo suddenly withdrew several hundred billion in funding, it would be a massive loss for them both. This was why the two had taken the initiative to meet with Chu Mo and inquire about the specific situation.
Chu Mo had already anticipated their reason and had a plan in place, so there was no need for haste.
Just then, Thomas, who had been sitting quietly across the table, suddenly spoke up,
“Mr. Chu, I’ve heard you’ve been increasing your investments in the high-tech sector. I wonder if there’s any opportunity for us to collaborate.”
As the honorary wealthiest man in the world, with a net worth reaching thirty trillion, Thomas was one of the most elite members of the Longevity Club. Chu Mo certainly wouldn’t neglect him.
As Chu Mo was about to engage in conversation with Thomas, a burst of laughter and chatter came from the doorway. At the sound of it, Liu Liu, who had been by Chu Mo’s side, suddenly stood up. It was clear that the noise was coming from Liu Liu’s friends.
