With the use of zoom equipnt, the dia were finally able to see clearly the youth who descended from the plane—it was none other than Zhang nglong, the world's richest man!
Up to now, Zhang nglong had visited many places, and wherever he went, turmoil seed to follow. His ability to stir up trouble had almost made people around the world tremble with fear.
In Qingqiu Country, he had nearly caused the entire country's economy to collapse. In the end, the finance departnt sang "Conquest" live, completely disgracing the nation.
While in Europe, he had almost allowed a group of lunatics to sweep the Champs-Elysees. He even made an investigator nad Murray perform a pole dance in front of the whole world. That day was simply a nightmare for the Kingdom of Frankfurt, and the video of that pole dance still remained active on major video platforms around the world.
He took a trip to the Province of Treasure Island in Huaxia. He directly drove away the chip suppliers, completely expelling them from the Huaxia market. Although this did not have a significant impact on Zhang's reputation, it caused related Arican and European firms to lose 60% of their market share, forcing them to increase their chip exports to other countries. The indirect losses were considerable.
Now, this scourge had co directly to Arica. According to the previous script, it seed that Arica was about to go through yet another turbulent ti!
Currently, what all dia were most concerned about was why the leader of the Duber family had personally gone to welco Zhang nglong. Did they have so business cooperation between them?
However, according to their understanding, although the Duber family had so business dealings with enterprises in Huaxia, even dating back to the Qing Dynasty era, these businesses should have no relation to Zhang nglong. So what was this all about?
"Mr. Zhang, this gentleman is Mr. Jas Duber, the leader of the Duber family for this generation," Hong Yi introduced.
"I apologize, Mr. Zhang. In such an occasion, our entire family should have co to welco you. However, my partner and younger brother are attending to so urgent business matters, so only I have been able to co to et you. Please forgive our discourtesy!" After saying this, Jas bowed deeply to Zhang nglong at a ninety-degree angle.
"Look! Mr. Jas is actually bowing to Zhang nglong!"
"What in the world is going on?"
"Quick! Catch this on cara; it's definitely going to be today's headline news!"
The dia imdiately recorded this scene.
Although Zhang nglong was the world's richest man, no one ever thought he was truly invincible. The Duber family's publicly declared assets were only 150 billion US Dollars, but no one really believed that their assets were just that much, as this figure dated back 30 years.
In these 30 years, the Duber family had encountered nearly no setbacks in business. Under such a length of ti, their assets must have increased several fold—who wouldn't believe that?
Even two or three years ago, the leaders of the Duber and Rothschild families had a al together. According to so photos leaked at that ti, their relationship seed quite amiable, not at all like what one would expect between a clan leader of a family with assets worth 500 trillion US Dollars and one with 150 billion.
Therefore, in the eyes of those in the dia, the Duber family's assets were at least on a similar level to those of Zhang nglong.
So far, the Duber family had grown trendously, with an enormous number of mbers and businesses spanning various sectors. anwhile, public knowledge about Zhang nglong indicated he was just a second-generation rich inheritor, and his family was not well-known, which also highlighted a significant gap between them.
And now, the sight before them was Jas Duber of the Duber family showing such respectful behavior towards Zhang nglong, which was quite thought-provoking.
"Mr. Jas, aren't you worried that the dia will gossip about making such a grand gesture to welco
today?" Zhang nglong smiled, "If they start spinning stories, it might affect your business or even bring trouble from higher authorities. I'm not exactly popular right now."
"They're just annoying bugs," Jas coldly said, "and the authorities wouldn't dare do anything to our family."
"A long ti ago, our Duber family facilitated the 'Louisiana Purchase,' which doubled the land area of Arica. Arica didn't have the funds to buy back that land, and now they still have to pay our Duber family a 77 billion US Dollar interest every year."
"Goodness gracious, Arica owes you that much money?" Zhang nglong exclaid, no wonder Jas was not worried about repercussions. With their influence in the Aricas, they could practically ignore so constraints. Others were dependent on their whims, rather than the other way around.
"Mr. Zhang, after my father and brother finish their business, they will co back ho to et you imdiately. For now, I will take you to our estate," Jas respectfully said, "We've already had the chef prepare dinner. I hope your stay in Arica goes smoothly!"
"Thank you for your hard work!" Zhang nglong and Hong Yi got into the car, and the motorcade left the airport, disappearing at the end of the road.
...
"World's richest man Zhang nglong visits Arica, personally welcod by Duber family leader Jas Duber!"
"Jas Duber bowed to Zhang nglong in public, his attitude respectful!"
"What exactly is Zhang nglong aiming for with his visit to Arica? Our newspaper will continue to follow this story!"
...
Several hours later, a flood of articles appeared online, and instantly, everyone knew that Zhang nglong had arrived in Arica.
"The head of the Duver family personally welcod him; Mr. Zhang certainly carries a lot of clout!"
"No idea what Mr. Zhang is here in Arica for this ti, does any big shot have a guess?"
"Just a few days ago, Mr. Zhang was again seen in the Silicon Moonlight in the Bao Island Province. Haven't Europe and Arica stopped their supply of high-end chips and raw materials to Huaxia? I'm absolutely sure Mr. Zhang is here for that."
"That doesn't make sense! Mr. Zhang said he wanted to develop things independently; he only needs to import new earth minerals from Kaibong now. If he were to go anywhere, it should be Kaibong, so what is he doing in Arica?"
"Whatever he is here for, I just feel it's definitely not anything good!"
"Hahaha, friends in Arica, you're on your own now!"
"That day, they finally rembered the fear dominated by Mr. Zhang!"
...
The Duver family's mansion was extraordinarily luxurious, even four tis larger than the last ti at the Rothschild estate in Europe, and the whole family had an air of traditional solemnity.
After a lavish dinner, Jas had his son personally escort Zhang nglong to his room. Jas's son, nad Otto Duver, was a 21-year-old young man. During this ti, Otto would also assist Zhang nglong with his affairs.
"Mr. Zhang, did your girlfriend not co with you?"
"Oh, she has her graduate interviews soon, so I only brought my assistant," Zhang nglong said. "Why do you ask?"
"Just didn't want Mr. Zhang to be lonely at night," Otto said. "If you want soone to accompany you to sleep tonight, Mr. Zhang, I can arrange it imdiately."
"No... I'm here for serious business!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang; every room in our mansion has excellent soundproofing, so you don't have to worry about your assistant going back and telling your girlfriend," said Otto with a smirk implying 'I understand.'
"In the drawer of your bedside table, there's a small notebook and a phone that I've specially prepared for you. I won't disturb you any longer," said Otto, turning around and closing the door behind Zhang nglong.
"Young people these days, really, what do they think about!" Zhang nglong's gaze fell on the exquisite bedside table. He pondered for a mont, took a deep breath, "I'm just curious, only curious!"
Zhang nglong opened the bedside table, took out the small notebook, then opened the first page.
"Special contact info for female celebrities!"
"Top-tier female celebrities (sexy type), 28 numbers."
"Top-tier female celebrities (pure type), 32 numbers."
...
"Holy shit!" Zhang nglong quickly stuffed the notebook back in the drawer. "These foreigners sure know how to have fun..."
