Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 365 - 254: Mr. Chu, The Spokesperson of Magic City

Chapter 365: Chapter 254: Mr. Chu, The Spokesperson of Magic City

The Chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment, Ren Wenxuan, was an elegantly dressed man in his early fifties, with a slightly plump figure and an extraordinary demeanor.

As an enthusiastic Ren Wenxuan strode towards Chu Mo at the entrance of Chang’an Tower, the country’s richest man, Zhang Dahua, Alibaba’s Chairman Ma Yu, and the female tycoon Liu Manli, with whom he had had a previous acquaintance, all stepped forward to greet him.

Naturally, each of these bosses had a net worth surpassing hundreds of billions. Figures like Lu Zhenhao, with a worth of three hundred and ninety billion, and He Can, worth just thirty-one billion, had to stand at the back of the line. They didn’t even have the privilege to step forward for a casual chat.

Ren Wenxuan’s face glowed red, and he had a powerful voice. His loud, hearty laughter could already be heard from a distance before he even arrived!

“Hahaha! President Chu, it’s been a long time!”

Confronted with this enthusiastic and cheerful top tycoon, Chu Mo didn’t play the big shot. He too had a smile on his face and, taking long strides forward, he reached out his right hand to warmly grasp the plump middle-aged man’s hand.

Chu Mo’s Shi Yuan Entertainment was now valued at over seventy billion and had a close collaboration with Ren Wenxuan’s Shangyuan Entertainment.

Chu Mo had the money, Ren Wenxuan had the influence; the two of them could be said to hit it off immediately and had a mutually beneficial relationship.

“President Ren, it’s been just over a month since our vacation at the beach. We meet again, and you look even better!”

At the end of August, during the last few days of summer holiday, Chu Mo had just purchased a luxury yacht and had hosted a lavish gathering on the sea. The event cost over a hundred million and included heads of the four major families, the ‘Four Young Masters’ of the metropolis, along with more than a dozen tycoons and scores of second and third generation rich attendees.

Ren Wenxuan was one of them.

On the yacht, Chu Mo had asked him to tailor-make a top-tier production for Ding Qian. However, since Ding Qian had been disobedient, the opportunity was passed on to Shi Yuan Entertainment’s leading mega-star, Ding Xiaoni.

And thanks to that opportunity, the current Ding Xiaoni had become the hottest top-tier mega-star in Hua Country.

She was even more in-demand than the veteran top-tier mega-star Sun Qing.

Similarly, Chu Mo still owed Ren Wenxuan a sizeable favor.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two men released their hands. Then, Hua Country’s richest man, Zhang Dahua, stepped half a step forward. The equally plump man in his early fifties said with a sense of emotion:

“It’s really the case of the new waves surpassing the old ones, promising young men to be feared, eh? President Chu, although this is our first meeting, we have had quite a few dealings!”

Chu Mo shook hands with Zhang Dahua, feeling the strong grip of the other man’s hand.

Strictly speaking, it was Chu Mo who had almost forced Zhang Dahua to sell him the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel. Zhang Dahua had been setting up his empire in the metropolis for four years, and the Tianxiangyuan was the fruit of his tireless efforts. Its four main themed halls were among the most elite rich gathering spots in the metropolis. In the end, Chu Mo had taken the hotel off his hands for a bargain, leaving Zhang Dahua somewhat reluctant to part with it.

As they shook hands, Chu Mo’s smile didn’t fade. He nodded slightly, his voice calm as he said:

“Mr. Zhang, I hope you’ve been well!”

…

Following quietly at Chu Mo’s side was the fiery He Xinyi. She was extremely well-behaved at this moment, exuding the grace and composure of a top socialite, quite unlike her bold behavior in the car earlier.

Her peach blossom eyes were constantly fixed on Chu Mo’s profile, admiring his handsome face as it revealed a faint smile. Watching him exchange pleasantries with one wealthy tycoon after another, when her gaze drifted to the end of the crowd, she immediately noticed her best friend Yuan Yuan and Yuan Yuan’s boyfriend Su Can looking in their direction.

Unlike the man beside her, who commanded the attention of everyone, her best friend, who was normally the center of attention in their circle of friends, could only stand at the very end of the queue here.

In this setting, she couldn’t even count as a backdrop, for even Lu Zhenhao with his worth of three hundred and ninety billion had no place here, let alone her and her boyfriend’s mere tens of billions.

He Xinyi saw her best friend constantly giving her meaningful looks, and she noticed Zhang Dahua’s eager gaze as well.

She knew what the two of them wanted: her help in introducing them, to give them a moment to shine in front of the many tycoons present.

Those who could speak here were all top tycoons worth over a hundred billion. Even Lu Zhenhao had no chance to stand in this inner circle. If Yuan Yuan and her boyfriend could stand here, even for a brief moment, it would be immensely beneficial for them.

However, when He Xinyi saw the man in front of her whispering with the female tycoon Liu Manli, whose net worth was one hundred and eighty billion, she abandoned the idea of introducing her best friend.

The occasion was wrong, the status mismatched, and even the atmosphere was not right.

If she were to force her best friend and her boyfriend into this situation, it would not only be ineffective, it would also put her in an awkward position.

So, ignoring her best friend’s pleading looks, He Xinyi simply stood quietly by her man’s side, then looked on with a smile as he exchanged pleasantries with one top tycoon after another.

Not long after all the top-tier tycoons who could stand the scrutiny were introduced one by one, a large group of elite moguls, with rows of attentive servers at their heels, strolled towards the inner layers of the mansion.

As one of the four major clubs in Capital City, the Chang’an Club was definitely synonymous with luxury.

At this moment, the entire club was completely booked by these tycoons. In the whole of Capital City, with the exception of a few old families who did not show their faces, nearly half of the usual socialites had gathered here.

With He Xinyi’s insight, just among those she could recognize were the wealthiest man Zhang Dahua, Alibaba’s chairman Ma Yu, the richest woman Liu Manli, Ren Wenxuan, heir of the Liu family Liu Wei, World Trade’s chairman Huang Wengui, and chairman of Chang’an Tower Xu Qi, and so on. There were as many as eleven top billionaires with a net worth exceeding one hundred billion.

After that, there were more than twenty individuals valued over ten billion, including the head of the Lu family, Lu Zhenhao. As for billionaires worth less than that, they were in the minority. The 3.1 billion net worth of her close friend and boyfriend He Can placed him squarely at the lower end of the spectrum.

The largest reception hall in Chang’an Club, Tingyu Pavilion, had been reserved, and the hall, spanning over three hundred square meters, was luxurious and opulent. It was also divided into several small areas by screens, easily accommodating dozens of guests.

A gathering of tycoons, according to social rank, naturally divided into different circles of interaction, with Chu Mo, Ren Wenxuan, Ma Yu, Zhang Dahua, and Liu Manli being particularly esteemed.

“Chairman Chu, I’ve heard that there’s been a shakeup in Modu recently because of you. Even the three iconic tall buildings in Modu have been acquired by you, Chairman Chu. That’s a grand move indeed!”

Once everyone was seated and with a smile on his face, Ren Wenxuan began to speak.

Among the group of moguls, Ren Wenxuan and Chu Mo had the closest relationship; their companies were in the honeymoon phase, signifying an extremely close, seamless partnership!

Here was Xu Qi, the chairman of Chang’an Tower. Naturally, the top servers of the entire Chang’an Club were all summoned to Tingyu Pavilion to attend to the group of elite moguls.

A row of twenty-odd qipao-clad servers, graceful in figure, diligently served tea and poured water for the moguls, offering meticulous service.

Chu Mo, seated at a higher position, picked up the teacup nearby and took a light sip. The tea was of high quality, probably no less exquisite than the top-tier tea leaves worth millions collected in the Emperor’s Pavilion which Chu Mo had in his possession. On his left sat Ren Wenxuan, while on his right sat He Xinyi.

Such a strong and fiery top socialite was rarely quiet, but in the presence of all these esteemed moguls, she no longer exhibited the fidgety behavior she had shown earlier in the car.

Putting down his teacup, Chu Mo reflected softly:

“Chairman Ren only saw the glory of me taking down the three tall buildings in Modu, but not the embarrassing hardship I suffered behind the scenes. Let alone the Financial Tower, which the Zhou family considers a treasure, Jiangnan’s Li family’s head, Li Xiaoyao, even declared that their treasured Jinmao Mansion was not for sale—even at five hundred billion. If it weren’t for Prince Ben Hesed’s intervention, how could I have easily acquired Jinmao Mansion for four hundred billion!”

“That’s why I say, Chairman Chu is brilliant. The three iconic buildings in Modu, with the tallest, Jinmao Mansion, at four hundred billion, the second-tallest, Financial Tower, at two hundred seventy billion, plus the third-tallest at two hundred thirty billion—all acquired within four months. Those nine hundred billion spent by Chairman Chu truly make one’s heart tremble!”

Hua Country’s number one richest woman, with a fortune of one hundred and ninety billion, Liu Manli smiled charmingly.

Chu Mo got to know her at Fudan University’s CEO training program in Modu, and it was she who took him to the Zhou family’s wedding afterwards. It was after this that Chu Mo managed to acquire the Financial Tower in Modu from the Zhou family.

One could say that without Liu Manli in front of him, Chu Mo might not have even considered acquiring the three iconic structures in Modu.

The corner of Chu Mo’s mouth curled slightly as he nodded towards Liu Manli, who was seated across from him, and then said with a laugh:

“Someday, when Chairman Liu graces us with her presence, I shall give you a lavish welcome in Modu!”

“Hahaha! Chairman Chu, you’re only inviting Chairman Liu here? What about us elder gentlemen?”

With a laugh, the wealthiest man Zhang Dahua made a jest, and the whole hall immediately erupted with hearty laughter.

With a smile hanging on her face as well, Liu Manli did not show a hint of bashfulness or anger. As Hua Country’s woman richest woman, with a fortune of one hundred ninety billion, her demeanor was naturally far beyond that of the average young girl. After taking a light breath, Liu Manli brightly responded:

“If Chairman Zhang wants to freeload a meal, just come to Modu and see if you can eat Chairman Chu out of house and home.

Chairman Chu has nearly one thousand billion in the three tall buildings in Modu, plus nearly one thousand billion in Bafang International Chain Hotel, seven hundred billion in Shi Yuan Entertainment, as well as the promise of investing a trillion in the Longevity Club over the next decade. Just these assets alone put Chairman Chu’s overt net worth over one trillion!

In all of Modu, the most capable Lin family only has assets totaling three hundred billion, which is less than a third of Chairman Chu’s net worth. Now, Modu no longer belongs to the Lin, Zhou, Lu, and Wu families; it has become Chairman Chu’s backyard.

From now on, when one mentions Modu, they won’t think of the four great families of Modu but rather Mister Chu of Modu!

Chu of Modu, Hua Country’s ninth family—just for this title, fellow guests, I propose that we toast Mr. Chu with tea in place of wine!”

“To Mr. Chu!”
