Growth-type Super Rich-Chapter 475 - 297: Return to China (Part 2)

Roland Rockefeller and Clayville Kirk Morgan have known each other since childhood, and from his expression, it was clear that Clayville Kirk Morgan was very interested in what Gu Bai had to say.

Sure enough, Clayville Kirk Morgan was silent for only a few seconds before agreeing with a smile.

"Gu, I’ve heard that in your country, there’s not much emphasis on leisure, but now it seems that’s not the case. If it really were as rumored, how could you have come up with such a wonderful idea?

Development, what a great concept.

I can’t wait to cultivate a Hollywood actress of my own."

Actually, even if Gu Bai hadn’t mentioned the concept of "development," Clayville Kirk Morgan would still agree to cooperate with Gu Bai. He came to Goryeo to meet Gu Bai, and even followed Gu Bai to Hua Country, all just to build a good relationship with Gu Bai. Now that Gu Bai has provided an opportunity to link their interests, why would he refuse?

Gu Bai was well aware of this, which is why he confidently and openly proposed the idea.

Never discuss anything other than interests with the chaebol or capital.

There’s a saying that’s quite accurate: there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

The Future Foundation is the nexus of these interests, and it is precisely because Gu Bai has control over this nexus that heirs like Clayville Kirk Morgan and Roland Rockefeller from the world’s top ten chaebol families engage with him on equal terms.

Raising his glass, Gu Bai chuckled and said, "Then let’s toast to this great opportunity of ’development,’ shall we?"

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

The glasses clinked with a crisp sound.

The surrounding flight attendants couldn’t help but turn their heads, their eyes full of admiration.

If they could win the favor of any one of these three, they could instantly become enviable socialites, such is reality.

...........

A few hours later, the Airbus A380-Gu landed at Beijing International Airport.

Goryeo time is in the East Ninth Zone, Hua Country time is in the East Eighth Zone; according to Greenwich time, Goryeo is an hour ahead of Hua Country, and naturally, there’s no need to adjust to the one-hour time difference.

Within the airport, Long Dan Ni had already prepared the welcome procedures.

Even Mr. Shao and Xiao Qiang, who were far in Shanghai, had rushed over in advance, as the big boss was returning from Goryeo, and the occasion required a comprehensive effort.

The difference between Hua Country and Goryeo is,

the people are paramount.

No matter how much energy one possesses, it should never affect ordinary individuals.

When Gu Bai arrived in Goryeo, the four major chaebols directly closed off the airport, causing most people inside to take detours. However, such a situation would never occur in Hua Country.

Even though dozens of high-level executives from the Black Swan Group stood outside the airport awaiting him, they dared not interfere with normal traffic.

Minutes later, accompanied by his entourage, Gu Bai, Clayville Kirk Morgan, and Roland Clovilo emerged from the VIP channel.

Xiao Qiang, who stood in front, had the sharpest eyes and immediately spotted Gu Bai.

"Chairman Gu is out."

With Xiao Qiang’s reminder, everyone immediately straightened their bodies, watching from afar as Gu Bai slowly approached them.

"Chairman Gu, welcome home."

"Chairman Gu, welcome home."

Xiao Qiang, Mr. Shao, Long Dan Ni, and others, all wearing respectful smiles, greeted Gu Bai.

After spending most of a month in Goryeo, now suddenly seeing these familiar faces put Gu Bai in a good mood. He responded with a smile, "It’s just a trip abroad, why all the fanfare?"

Long Dan Ni caught Gu Bai’s words and continued, "This is nothing. A few days ago, when the news came that Chairman Gu was returning, not only did we, these employees from the Capital City branch, want to come greet you, but even ordinary employees from the Shanghai headquarters planned to come as well, until President Xiao said Chairman Gu didn’t like such grand occasions, which led to the cancellation."

Gu Bai, of course, knew Long Dan Ni was exaggerating.

Though he treated the group employees well, he wasn’t their parent, running from Shanghai to the Capital City to greet him? Unless it was a mandatory task, who would be foolish enough to do such a thing?

But even though it was exaggerated, most people enjoy hearing such flattery, and Gu Bai didn’t bother to dispute it. He simply chuckled, letting it pass.

"Kirk, Roland, this is Hua Country. Any thoughts?"

Though Clayville Kirk Morgan and Roland Rockefeller didn’t look shocked, they appeared quite surprised and replied to Gu Bai, "Gu, to be honest, I’ve been to Asia, but only to Japan and Goryeo. This is my first time in Hua Country, and it’s completely different from what I imagined."

"Oh? How is it different?"

Gu Bai continued to ask with a smile.

"I originally thought that only our Beautiful Country, as a world economic hub, could have such a prosperous scene; now it seems that’s not the case. Just from appearances, your Hua Country isn’t much different from our Beautiful Country."

The Western media environment often tarnishes the East; if they hadn’t seen Hua Country with their own eyes, many Westerners might find it hard to believe this country could develop into a world-class one in just a few decades. Thinking of this, Gu Bai’s smile carried a touch of pride.

This is Hua Country, his home ground, where Gu Bai has the right to feel proud.

"This is merely a corner of the airport. Later, I can show you the true Hua Country, not the Hua Country depicted by your Beautiful Country media."

Saying this, Gu Bai said to Xiao Qiang, "These two are the heirs of the Morgan Clan and the Clofello Clan, Clayville Kirk Morgan and Roland Clovilo. Help me find the finest service team to ensure they experience the warmth of our Black Swan Group during their time in Hua Country."

With these few words, the introduction was complete.

But as Gu Bai finished speaking, Xiao Qiang and Mr. Shao were stunned.

The Morgan Clan and the Rockefeller Clan?

Perhaps Long Dan Ni, who focuses on the entertainment industry, didn’t know these two clans, but Mr. Shao and Xiao Qiang, who hail from the financial investment industry, were very aware of these clans’ impact on the Beautiful Country’s economy and, to a larger extent, the global influence they wield.

Xiao Qiang had already learned through Goryeo’s financial news yesterday that Gu Bai had become one of Samsung Group’s highest directors. She had prepared herself to be amazed by Gu Bai, but didn’t expect becoming one of Samsung’s highest directors was just an appetizer.

Compared to the Morgan Clan and the Rockefeller Clan, what is Samsung?

Only people in the financial world know the influence of these two great clans. Now that the heirs of both clans have returned to Hua Country with Gu Bai, what message is being conveyed? Or is Gu Bai’s actual background already equal to these clans?

She had been with Gu Bai for nearly a year now.

The Black Swan Group hadn’t been profitable at all. Gu Bai had spent hundreds of billions since last year, and now he was one of Samsung Group’s highest directors. Even if Xiao Qiang was a fool, she ought to realize Gu Bai’s background is unfathomable. Now the joint appearance of Clayville Kirk Morgan and Roland Rockefeller further confirmed her speculation.

"Rest assured, Chairman Gu, I’ll make contact right away."

Gu Bai nodded with a smile, then walked out of the airport with Clayville Kirk Morgan and Roland Clovilo.

It was already close to June, and the weather was gradually warming up.

Outside the airport, countless pedestrians hurried by, and the villa manager had already prepared the motorcade waiting outside the airport for Gu Bai. Upon seeing Gu Bai, Tino Rodlin said respectfully with a smile, "Mr. Gu, let’s head home."
