Trillionaire's Slice of Life

“Chu Mo, let’s set aside the matter of acquiring Citibank for the moment, because I don’t know your strategy, I won’t give any rash suggestions. I’ll just share some of my own insights on the Guo family of Sartor,”

Inside the largest private room of Lianshang Song Bar, Sun Shangwu picked up the tea in front of him and gently took a sip. As he set the teacup back down, he spoke calmly,

“Speaking of Sartor, ever since King Salman ascended the throne a few years ago, there has been significant activity, not just internally but also in diplomacy. They’ve undertaken substantial reforms with strong determination.

It has not only caused an earthquake in the entire Zhongdong region but also drawn global attention. Of course, the effects of Sartor’s reforms are quite remarkable. The citizens’ standard of living has increased, and from a global perspective, the majority of the Guo families welcome the success of Sartor’s internal reforms.”

The vast 170 square meter room is divided into two areas. Chu Mo and Sun Shangwu, along with a few other men, are in the innermost section, their reception area, which is equipped with tea, pastries, fruits, and an assortment of snacks.

Just behind a curtain, Tao Yun and Zhou Yuanyuan, two young ladies, are seated in the singing area. Across from the sofa is the song selection console and a large LCD TV, which is currently displaying a popular music video.

However, since no one is focused on singing, the speakers are not even turned on.

Three days later, Chu Mo will meet with the King of the Shate Kingdom, Salman, and Prince Alwaleed to discuss matters related to investment and the acquisition of shares in Citibank. The amount involved could exceed ten billion, or even one hundred billion.

Lianshang Song Bar’s Chairman, Sun Shangwu, has a solemn expression on his face. Despite his net worth of thirty-six billion placing him within the top one hundred tycoons in Hua Country, he has never had the opportunity to meet privately with the King of Sartor.

Yet Chu Mo, not even half his age, has managed to sit at the table as an equal with the King of Sartor.

“Sartor’s reforms are divided into internal and external parts. Internally, they’ve shifted from the ‘brother succeeding brother’ inheritance system to the ‘son inheriting from father’.

That is to say, previously in Sartor, when an old king died, his brother would succeed the throne, resulting in kings with a high average age and short reigns.

Each king’s reign lasted about a decade, but now they’ve passed authority to the third generation, achieving a younger leadership. This is the internal reform!”

Sun Shangwu spoke at length, his expression serious. On his dark-skinned forehead, three deep wrinkles were distinctly visible.

“Economically, Sartor has introduced the ‘Vision 2030’, a plan grand in scale and ambition.

Its aim is to make Sartor a major economic power and to wean the country off its dependency on oil and natural gas.

Of course, such reforms are gradual and subtle. At present, Sartor’s economy still heavily relies on oil. King Salman’s trip to Asia is motivated by geopolitical considerations and also because the large economies of Asia are major energy consumers. Maintaining good relations with these countries is crucial for preserving Sartor’s oil exports!”

Chu Mo nodded. As a qualified businessman, Sun Shangwu’s vision was not limited to a mere metropolis. He had an accurate grasp of the dynamics in Hua Country and even around the world.

Chu Mo had also been cramming on relevant knowledge in preparation for his meeting with the King and Prince of Sartor, but in terms of the bigger picture, he was still far behind Sun Shangwu.

He earnestly and sincerely asked for advice,

“Mr. Sun, you are absolutely right. According to the information I’ve obtained, the series of agreements that the King of Sartor will sign in our Hua Country are estimated to be worth around sixty billion US dollars, which equates to over three hundred billion RMB.

Just over a month ago, I invested over twenty billion in the Dubai tourism development project. With Prince Ben Hesed overseeing the project, the whole operation has now fully kicked off. I estimate that in three to five months, the subsequent eighty billion in investment will come in.

Given your opinion, Mr. Sun, what should my investments in Sartor focus on?”

The spokesperson Chu Mo sent to Dubai was Qiu Shui from Tianxiang Garden, the oldest among the eight highly attractive attendants of Tianxiang Garden.

Going to Dubai to represent him was her own request, and without any accidents, in three to five years, Qiu Shui will become Chu Mo’s greatest spokesperson overseas, with a net worth exceeding a hundred billion!

Originally, Chu Mo had not planned on investing in Sartor, but due to Sartor’s urgent need for substantial capital to carry out its reforms, his significant investment in Dubai caught their attention, leading to the King personally visiting.

And coincidentally, Chu Mo had already completed his plans in the metropolis and was setting his sights on the entirety of Hua Country, and even the world. When the King of Sartor personally extended an olive branch, he did not refuse.

According to Chu Mo’s estimates, the investment in Sartor would also be on the scale of a hundred billion, and while investing, he was also interested in the Citibank shares held by the Prince of Sartor.

Chu Mo had the money, and the King had the power; it was a win-win situation for both parties!

At this point, Sun Shangwu no longer held back but gave Chu Mo several serious suggestions based on his vision and years of experience in business.

Opposite them, Fan Gao opened his eyes several times. As the second in command of the Fan family and the master of An Tianxia Security Company, his vision was not to be underestimated. However, he hesitated several times and ultimately did not speak up.

As for Ma Kai, perched on the edge of his seat like a schoolchild, he was completely lost. He had no concept of the hundred billion or even trillion-scale investments being discussed by Chu Mo and Sun Shangwu. Even during his peak as Su Zhengxiong’s strategic advisor, the largest investment he was involved in was only a few billion.

Hundred billion or even trillion was beyond his reach.

Just as the attention of everyone in the room was focused on Chu Mo and Sun Shangwu, the mobile phone of Zhou Yuanyuan on the opposite couch suddenly rang.

The piercing ringtone was quite noticeable in the silent VIP room, causing even Chu Mo and Sun Shangwu, who were in the middle of a conversation, to halt their speech.

Zhou Yuanyuan, her cheeks slightly flushed, immediately took out her phone from her pocket, pressed a button quickly, stopping the ringtone, and then let out a small sigh of relief. She then gently stood up and walked toward the door of the VIP room.

With the phone to her ear, Zhou Yuanyuan nonchalantly opened the door of the VIP room, intending to go outside to take the call, only to find that at least a dozen black-clad men had the place surrounded.

Zhou Yuanyuan had barely poked her head out of the room and hadn’t even had a chance to speak when a handsome young man in the hallway spotted her. The young man, holding a phone, lit up with recognition, immediately ended the call and then briskly walked over to the VIP room entrance.”

Peering inside the VIP room, he saw Tao Yun sitting on the couch and said with a teasing grin:

“You two campus belles, where did you run off to? Here you are, hiding away in a private room, no wonder you didn’t come back for so long!

It’s just as well, it’s too noisy out there, I prefer to have some peace and quiet in here too!”

As the young man finished speaking, he walked into the VIP room without waiting for an invitation. Zhou Yuanyuan, still holding the phone, hesitated for a moment. She glanced towards the next room, where a few men were discussing important family matters. Surely making noise on her end would be inappropriate.

She was about to signal to Tao Yun and the intrusive young man to leave the place so as not to disturb these significant figures. Unexpectedly, the young man who had already stepped inside made his way into the inner part of the VIP room. With a smile on his face and a touch of arrogance in his voice, he said:

“Hey, dudes, what’s so fascinating that you’re so engrossed in the conversation?”

Sun Shangwu picked up his teacup with an emotionless face and moistened his throat, uncertain of the relationship between Chu Mo and this individual, hence he stayed silent.

Chu Mo looked at the handsome young man in front of him, who appeared to be around twenty-two or twenty-three years old. At first glance, the man had the qualifications to be a pretty face, tall and handsome with fair skin and attractive features. Based solely on appearance, this sunny-looking young man scored at least over ninety points.

At least in terms of looks, Chu Mo was a notch below him.

Chu Mo glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan at the door, who had let the person in. If Zhou Yuanyuan hadn’t unlocked the door, the bodyguards at the entrance would have never allowed a stranger to enter.

Since the individual knew Zhou Yuanyuan, he was most likely her classmate.

Chu Mo nodded slightly at the man as a greeting, but his mind was still preoccupied with Sun Shangwu. The chance encounter was rare, and he had finally caught Sun Shangwu’s attention, naturally wanting to seek more advice. So, refocusing on Sun Shangwu, Chu Mo continued:

“Mr. Sun, Sairiman is in need of me this time. He wants the massive amount of funds I hold, so naturally, he has to offer me some incentives. Otherwise, why would I invest in Shate? The world is so vast, why not invest in any other country? Based on your experience, where do you think Sairiman’s bottom line lies? What’s the most I can gain from this King?”

Seeing he was being ignored, the handsome young man felt bored and leaned his head to the side. Without waiting for Sun Shangwu to speak, he initiated the conversation:

“Come on, bro, aren’t you tired? We came to the bar to relax, didn’t we? When you’re here, it’s time to let loose, forget all this investment talk…!”

Before the young man could finish, Zhou Yuanyuan, still holding her phone at the entrance, suddenly spoke up:

“Zhao Wenjia, come out!”@@novelbin@@

Zhou Yuanyuan’s voice was soft. In this VIP room, although she was the heiress of the Zhou family, with assets exceeding forty billion, her status didn’t matter here. Not even her father would have had the right to speak loudly in this setting.

The men inside, such as Sun Shangwu with assets of thirty-six billion, nearly equal to the Zhou family, Fan Gao as the second in command of the Fan family—known as the fifth family of Modu with assets over one hundred billion—and Chu Mo, whose any given industry chain alone was worth a hundred billion, let alone his various other investments possibly worth additional hundreds of billions.

The men were discussing investments involving hundreds of billions. Even if she sold her entire Zhou family’s assets, it wouldn’t be enough to capture the attention of these tycoons.

As for the classmate who resembled a little white face, he was one of Zhou Yuanyuan’s many suitors. Coming from a family with a modest wealth of several billion and given his handsome looks, as well as being the most attractive student at the University of Science and Technology, he usually carried an air of superiority!

However, this classmate, who often seemed agreeable, now appeared ridiculously absurd and laughable standing before a group of true magnates, believing he was one of them.

The worlds they lived in were wholly different.

They were not even on the same level.

Upon hearing the gentle words from Zhou Yuanyuan, the young man named Zhao Wenjia slightly curved the corner of his mouth. However, he didn’t leave immediately but carelessly sat down on the couch beside Chu Mo and Sun Shangwu. Just as the young man settled in comfortably, Zhou Yuanyuan’s voice was heard again at the entrance!

“Zhao Wenjia… come out!”

The same words, but this time, the voice of the ice-cold campus beauty seemed to come from the depths of hell, cold and merciless!

The young man looked towards the entrance and immediately caught sight of Zhou Yuanyuan’s chilly eyes that seemed to pierce to the bone.
