Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 375 - 262 President Chu’s Goal is the Stars and the Sea

Chapter 375: Chapter 262 President Chu’s Goal is the Stars and the Sea

In the first-floor lobby of the women’s youth building, a black-haired woman sitting in the central spot was focused intently. With her slender hands lightly strumming the guzheng before her, the wonderful sound that resembled a winding stream instantly filled the hall.

Many guests around her fixed their gazes on the long-haired woman who looked like a butterfly, some with admiration, some with astonishment, and some simply closed their eyes to quietly appreciate.

Near a window in the hall, several of the top tycoons of the city remained cheerful and talkative, utterly indifferent to the woman performing on stage.

For these people, the bet they just made was merely a trivial diversion, far from worthy of their serious attention.

“Mr. Chu, I heard from a friend that you visited Capital City a while back? And while there, you acquired several jewelry stores?”

Are you considering trying your hand in this industry?”

Lin Youzhi—a man worth three hundred billion—narrowed his eyes slightly. With his hooked nose, as he squinted, he exuded a subtle but intense presence.

Chu Mo was well aware that the Lin family also had significant investments in the jewelry industry; his sudden entry into this field was bound to draw the attention of these leading magnates.

Of course, for now, he was just testing the waters in Capital City, and the few shops he had taken over were being managed by people from Capital City’s Lu family, Lu Zhenhao.

Chu Mo lifted his coffee and sipped lightly. The bitter taste of the coffee swept across his taste buds, instantly revitalizing him, to the extent that even the soft music in the background was automatically ignored as he said casually:

“I visited Capital City a few days ago and tried Rouge Rice at Prince Gong’s Mansion. It was fragrant, smooth, and left a sweet aftertaste. Even now, I can still savor the sweetness of the Rouge Rice.

Unfortunately, the yield of this rice is extremely limited—so limited that even with the Yang family’s influence in Capital City, they only receive a few kilograms per year…”

The bigwigs at the table immediately paused their conversations and turned their eyes to Chu Mo’s expression.

Rouge Rice, despite their power and stature, was not unknown to them.

On the other hand, despite their hundred billion fortunes, they weren’t privileged enough to access this premium rice, which left each of their faces flashing a touch of peculiarity.

Naturally, it wasn’t about the petty Rouge Rice, but the implication behind it!

Lin Youzhi, with his eagle-like nose, sat with his arms crossed in front of him. He leaned slightly back in his seat, not speaking, but silently waiting for Chu Mo to unveil his answer.

A few months ago, when Chu Mo, a newcomer, declared his intent to build a hundred billion conglomerate and boldly stated his ambition to create a chain of hundred billion hotels, everyone in the city laughed off his claims as a joke.

A few months later, including Bafang International Hotel, Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel, Tianyi Hotel, Ronghua Hotel, and others, the total assets of Bafang International Chain Hotel had already far exceeded a hundred billion!

And that was not all—apart from the hotel industry, Chu Mo also ventured into the entertainment sector and invested heavily in the city’s three tallest buildings, including the already billion-worth Longevity Club.

Now, no one doubted Chu Mo’s courage and audacity. Everyone believed that Mr. Chu of the city would soon become a renowned figure throughout all of Hua Country.

This was also why when Mr. Chu extended an invitation, these top tycoons, despite their busy schedules, would put aside their work to join him for afternoon tea.

Otherwise, with the status of the few top tycoons present, did one really think they had the leisure to enjoy afternoon tea?

With the Lin family holding a large stake in the jewelry industry, Lin Youzhi’s current worry was that if Chu Mo decided to venture into it, given Chu Mo’s terrifying financial power and determination, it could potentially turn the entire jewelry industry upside down!

Moreover, what concerned Lin Youzhi even more was the news he received that Chu Mo had met with several top jewelers in Capital City…

If Chu Mo joined forces with them, it would spell disaster for anyone involved in the jewelry business across Hua Country.

That was exactly why Lin Youzhi couldn’t stay put!

Chu Mo placed his coffee on the table in front of him, slightly turned his cheek, and glanced at the earnestly performing black-haired woman in the hall. This girl had purposely come over to greet them earlier, and one couldn’t say her intentions were pure—it was likely she aimed to mingle with the many top tycoons here.

As for her playing, Chu Mo was in no position to give any professional critique. If he had to say, it felt to him that her skills fell short of the music academy girl he heard before!

He looked away and spoke in an even tone:

“Huang Wengui of Capital City, Liu Wei from the Liu family, and Lu Zhenhao of the Lu family invited me to invest in the jewelry industry. I couldn’t refuse their gracious offer, so I decided to dabble with a few billion.

Since General Manager Lin is also in the jewelry business, why not join the alliance? With you on board, we needn’t limit ourselves to Hua Country; we can look globally, to South Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Europe and North America—they can all be our battlefields!”

As Chu Mo finished speaking, Lin Youzhi on the opposite side nodded slightly, but he didn’t rush to make a statement.

Now that he knew Chu Mo was determined to get into the jewelry business, he would have to weigh the pros and cons and consider carefully before making a decision. And once he was resolute, it could mean the Lin family would have to change their entire future business strategy.

After all, the attitude Chu Mo displayed did not seem to be one of casual amusement!

After a moment of thoughtful hesitation, Lin Youzhi spoke in a grave tone,

“Although this question may not be quite appropriate, I am still very keen to know, Mr. Chu, how much do you plan to invest in the jewelry industry? If Mr. Chu is just dabbling, I might invest a few billion just to join in the fun. But if Chu Mo aims to dip his fingers into the entire jewelry industry, I need to prepare accordingly.”

As Lin Youzhi’s words fell, the atmosphere around the dining table became a tad more tense.

Previously, when Chu Mo invested in the chain hotel industry, he nearly whipped up a storm in the entire hotel business of Capital City. Likewise, when he ventured into the entertainment industry, he swiftly launched Shi Yuan Entertainment, which ranked third in the entire industry.

In the same vein, Chu Mo’s foray into the club scene meant that the Longevity Club was not only renowned in Capital City; it had sent shockwaves through the entire upper crust of Hua Country’s wealthy elite.

This time, if Chu Mo was resolute about entering the jewelry industry, it was likely that there would be a significant upheaval in Hua Country’s jewelry market.

For the Lin family in Capital City, this could signify an earth-shattering change. Even if other top tycoons didn’t specialize in jewelry, they would be somewhat affected.

Therefore, Chu Mo’s answer would directly influence the plans of many of them; they could not afford to take it lightly!

In the hall, the performance of the woman with a beauty score of ninety-five with long black hair had reached its climax. The majority of the restaurant’s patrons were listening intently. However, for the group of top tycoons seated by the window, they had long since cast aside the earlier bets.

For them, the only thing that could capture their attention was always profit!

Chu Mo breathed softly, his expression calm. He showed no sign of hesitation under the intense scrutiny of several magnates. Under Lin Youzhi’s direct gaze, he casually began,

“Entering the jewelry industry is likely to become the focus of my next setup. Several top jewelers in Capital City are interested in forming an alliance, intending to take over the entire jewelry market of Hua Country. As for the investment, during the initial phase, a few big players will help me stabilize my footing in Capital City, and I plan to support a spokesperson there. The initial investment will be fifty billion to test the waters.

As for the later stages, the total investment should not be less than one hundred billion. As usual, if Mr. Lin is interested, he might as well join us. There’s enough to go around; let’s look beyond Hua Country’s share and not get too fixated!”

Lin Youzhi remained silent; the worst-case scenario had unfolded. The Lin family, as an established jeweler, now faced the challenge of the emerging power of Chu Mo.

This would be a major turning point for the entire Lin family. If well-managed, the Lin family could possibly soar anew amidst this reshuffling. However, a misstep could see the old family suffer significantly!

The expressions of the several top magnates sitting at the table varied. Unlike the Lin family, their main businesses were not in jewelry; they could afford to watch from the sidelines, but they could also take the opportunity to profit from the situation, depending on their vision and judgment.

At this moment, in the center stage of the hall, the woman with long black hair had finished her performance. Her breath was slightly hurried, and her chest rose and fell unevenly.

The girl named Jiang Nuonuo gently closed her eyes. She could hear the patter of applause in her ears. It wasn’t enthusiastic, but these claps were not what she wanted.

Suddenly opening her eyes and glancing towards the window, she found that none of the top tycoons capable of changing her fate paid any attention to her; their expressions were serious.

A huge sense of loss flickered within her as all her fantasies and hopes were shattered in an instant.

At this moment, Jiang Nuonuo keenly understood that in the eyes of those top tycoons, she was nothing but a minor amusement, unworthy of their concern!

She rose gently, and as she walked toward her two close friends with her head down, suddenly, from a quiet corner of the now-calm hall, a round of gentle applause erupted.

Turning her head abruptly, she saw the handsome young man at the window looking at her and applauding softly.

Chu Mo’s mouth held a faint smile. He nodded slightly to the woman in the center of the hall, who looked back at him with surprise. Then, he turned his attention back to Lin Youzhi across him, and spoke in an even tone,

“Mr. Lin, you see, changing someone’s fate is actually quite simple!”

With a meaningful smile on his face, Chu Mo casually glanced at Lin Youzhi across the table, then turned to Dong Xuner beside him and instructed,

“Tell your friend she passed!”

Dong Xuner immediately nodded, her beautiful face reflecting a mix of emotions, and then she walked toward the woman with long black hair in the center of the hall.

Lin Youzhi took a deep breath, stood up proactively, and extended his hand to Chu Mo, saying with a serious face,

“Mr. Chu’s ambitions reach to the stars and the ocean, and my Lin family will naturally offer robust support!”

“I hope that when Mr. Chu’s table is filled with riches, he will not forget the Lin family.”
