Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 389: Chapter 274: Movies and Supercars

“Today, holding a pen, I find myself at a loss for words, as we wait here for your imminent return!”

The movie “As We Await Your Return,” directed by the renowned domestic director Zhou Hao and starring Hua Country’s top actress Lin Wanqiu, officially premiered in theaters across Hua Country today.

The film mainly depicts the story of a couple meeting, falling in love, separating, and the female protagonist’s enduring wait for the male protagonist’s return.

The lead actress from Shi Yuan Entertainment, Lin Wanqiu, plays the female lead role, and the male lead is also played by Shi Yuan Entertainment’s top actor Wang Tuo.

It can be said that, with an investment of 230 million, this film is currently Shi Yuan Entertainment’s largest investment in a movie.

Scheduled to release on the first weekend of November, the film intentionally avoided the crowded National Day golden week, choosing to premiere at this time, “As We Await Your Return” faced virtually no competition!

Both lead actors are A-list mega stars in Hua Country, and Lin Wanqiu is a bona fide award-winning actress with both talent and beauty, making her one of the rare top actresses in the Hua Country entertainment circle who boasts both ability and looks, commanding an impressive box office draw!

The movie was hyped unprecedentedly before its broadcast, even deliberately generating numerous scandalous news stories about the male and female leads. The movie pre-sold tickets for 43 million, and box office predictions exceeded 1.9 billion, making it a rare mega production after the National Day holiday!

Naturally, as the big boss of Shi Yuan Entertainment, Chu Mo would naturally show support for his company’s artists’ work.

Although Chu Mo could not offer much help regarding the film’s production, at the very least, he could contribute with a ticket purchase on the opening day.

The situation with Bafang International Hotel gave Chu Mo a headache; solving the problem wasn’t as simple as just getting rid of Su Zhengxiong.

Su Zhengxiong was a close friend of Grandpa Lu, and just after Chu Mo had decided to invite Zhou family head Zhou Weimin to a meal in the morning, he received a call from Grandpa Lu at noon.

Chu Mo had a deep relationship with Grandpa Lu, and although Grandpa Lu didn’t explicitly say so, his words hinted at persuading Chu Mo to let go.

Su Zhengxiong, who had operated in Magic Capital for decades with extensive connections, managed to form an alliance of thirteen five-star hotels in Lujiazui within a week.

The combined assets of these thirteen hotels already surpassed 110 billion, enough to challenge the power of Magic Capital’s Big Four families. At the same time, he convinced Grandpa Lu to intercede on his behalf, and Chu Mo even received information that the other party was making moves with the Lin family in Magic Capital.

The Lin family’s main business was the jewelry industry, and Chu Mo was also planning to enter the jewelry industry recently, thus pulling strings to align the Lin family with his own front. If Su Zhengxiong managed to persuade the Lin family to help at this time, Chu Mo would again find his hands tied!

Only at this moment did Chu Mo truly understand the immense pressure of the intricate web of relations of an old top-tier powerhouse.

This was not something he could easily resolve by simply investing tens or hundreds of billions.

Of course, even though Chu Mo felt a headache, he didn’t have any good solutions at the moment.

The Tengwang Pavilion Grand Hotel was Su Zhengxiong’s foundation, and by moving against his Tengwang Pavilion, Chu Mo was indeed striking at his livelihood; it was only natural for the other party to retaliate with full force.

After struggling with no good solution for half a day, Chu Mo very decisively pushed this matter to the back of his mind.

He wanted to unwind a bit, and it just so happened that his company’s new film was premiering, so he decided to buy a ticket online himself and then planned to go watch the movie to relax properly.

Since he was going to relax, having a whole bunch of bodyguards along seemed a bit inappropriate, so he didn’t take the Rolls-Royce Phantom that the bodyguards drove. Instead, he drove himself.

The Ferrari Sergio in the garage, valued at 42 million, had already been given to Dong Xuner, and now, besides the 2.85 billion gold supercar, Chu Mo had just taken delivery of a brand-new Koenigsegg!

As for the Ferrari 250 GTO worth 340 million, which had just been shipped over from the Ferrari headquarters, it was sent to Fan Zhijian as a gift in return.

Fan Zhijian had helped Chu Mo quite a bit in the past, so as the saying goes, “One good turn deserves another.” This car was Chu Mo’s way of expressing his gratitude.

Of course, Chu Mo’s Koenigsegg was different from the vehicle of Liu Wei, the young master of the Liu family in Capital City.

Last time at the racing track in Modu, the young master of the Liu family in Capital City, Liu Wei’s ride was a 26-million Koenigsegg Agera RS, which even Prince Ben Hesed had in his garage.

The model Chu Mo had just picked up was the Koenigsegg One:1, which made its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The new car was powerful, featuring a 5.8L V8 engine.

This was the first time Chu Mo had driven this supercar. Although it couldn’t compare to the 2.8-billion gold supercar, its price of one billion was enough to outshine most other supercars. The Koenigsegg One:1’s name symbolizes the 1:1 ratio of kerb weight to horsepower.

The new car had an extremely sporty appearance and, considering high-speed driving, it featured a lightweight design with a curb weight of just 1341kg. Its large rear spoiler was also quite impressive.@@novelbin@@

Only six of these cars were produced worldwide, not something you could acquire simply by having money. Chu Mo had used quite a few connections and, eventually, by promising a benefit of 30 million privately through Ferrari headquarters, he had managed to secure this car!

The front-to-rear weight distribution of the new Koenigsegg One:1 was 44:56, and the car could experience up to two G’s of force during cornering, with the 0-400km/h acceleration time being around 20 seconds.

Of course, with Chu Mo’s cautious nature, he would never use the car’s full potential. For him, being able to utilize one-fifth of this vehicle’s capabilities would be quite decent.

What truly attracted Chu Mo was the supercar’s limited production number of only six in the world, as well as its price tag of an astounding one billion!

With Chu Mo’s influence, even getting hold of it cost him one billion three hundred million. Even if he did nothing now but resell it, he could easily make a few hundred million to a billion in profit.

Of course, Chu Mo wasn’t short on cash. There was no need for him to sell the car just to make a few hundred million or a billion in profit. With a car of this caliber, just acquiring it was a win.

When Chu Mo drove the billion-priced Koenigsegg out of the gate of Villa No.1, Rolls-Royces and Bentleys leisurely followed behind, and six bodyguards over two meters tall would safeguard his security in the shadows!

The unique roar of the supercar thundered through Emperor Xuan Villas.

This was Chu Mo’s fifth supercar.

He had given the Aston Martin, which had accompanied him from the beginning, to Zhan Bingxue. Then, two Bugatti Veyrons, one was gifted to Qin Zixuan and the other to Ding Qian. A Ferrari LaFerrari worth over twenty million was given to Qiu Shui, and a Ferrari Sergio worth forty-two million was given to Dong Xuner.

After gifting five supercars to five spokespersons, Chu Mo suddenly really wanted to know who among the girls would take this billion-valued Koenigsegg in the future!

Chu Mo seemed to have gradually developed a habit where his garage would always have a supercar that was almost never driven, and this supercar would be gifted to the girls he deemed worthy.

It was only by receiving his supercar that they could be considered to have gained his trust!

The Koenigsegg roared up to the front gate of Emperor Xuan Villas, and the security at the gate immediately waved Chu Mo through the moment they saw him in the driver’s seat.

Almost without any pause, the streamlined and technologically advanced supercar left Emperor Xuan Villas and then headed towards the bright lights and revelry in the distance!

Chu Mo, in the driver’s seat, was dressed in luxurious custom-designed clothing, with a forty-seven million top-tier wristwatch on his wrist, and wore forty-five-thousand gold glasses on his nose. Plus, sitting in a billion-worth Koenigsegg and with his distinguished bearing…

He was like a moving magnet, firmly capturing the gaze of all the opposite sex.
