Chapter 172 – 149: Confrontation with the Richest Man_2
“Chu, just now a buddy tipped off that the guy over there seems to have roped in the Fan family from Modu, which started out in the bodyguard business. Sun Li seems to have brought in so bodyguards for backup,”
After putting down his phone, Li Ming reported the news he had gathered with cautious respect to Chu Mo.
Just monts before, he had been on chummy terms with Chu Mo, thinking that they might beco close brothers, but the more he got to know Chu Mo, the more cautious he beca.
The circles and connections Chu Mo was involved with were simply on a different level from his.
To put it bluntly, it was like when children fight; normally, it would just be the kids calling their friends for a brawl, but Chu Mo would bring in a bunch of adults. There’s no way to even start that fight.
What’s more important is that Chu Mo wasn’t just about beating the other family’s kid; he was planning to take the adults down too.
Once Chu Mo took over as the general agent for Ferrari in the Greater China Region, the Sun family’s wealth would at least halve, and that was a conservative estimate.
Caught in his cautious thoughts, Chu Mo’s phone suddenly rang. Chu Mo, with a calm expression, glanced at the caller ID and then gently answered the call.
“Director Ren, to receive news from you so quickly, it seems it must be good news,”
Upon hearing Chu Mo’s address, the group of wealthy heirs around him instinctually knew who was on the other end of the call. Each of them beca even more cautious, but if one looked closely, they could see the suppressed excitent in their eyes.
anwhile, after finishing up her conversation with her family, Lu Siyue had just arrived at their booth when she overheard Chu Mo’s address. The usually confident Lu Siyue, in her high heels, suddenly lowered her stance, even her step becoming more cautious.
“Director Ren is indeed powerful; is there a lead… Good, I will have a proper chat with Zhang Dahua later.”
“The Tianxiangyuan International Hotel matter is a normal acquisition. Director Ren, you surely have heard about my intention to run a chain of hotels. It just happens that the Tianxiangyuan Grand Hotel of the wealthiest man fits into my plans. It is not that I’m deliberately targeting anyone…”
“Okay, I owe you one for this favor, Director Ren. I’ll speak with Zhang Dahua later… Yes!”
Chu Mo hung up the call from Ren Wenxuan, and shortly after, the phone rang again, this ti from an unfamiliar number.
Without guessing, it was certainly from the wealthiest man, Zhang Dahua.
Zhang Dahua would naturally seize the opportunity to discuss the Tianxiang Garden matter with Chu Mo who was approaching him for a favor this ti.
As the only seven-star hotel in Modu, Zhang Dahua had been planning for four years around this hotel, and Chu Mo’s entry had completely disrupted his arrangents.
Chu Mo’s intentions were clear. If he kept dragging his feet and didn’t agree to sell Tianxiang Garden to Chu Mo, it would lead to a price war between the two parties.
For Chu Mo, with his unlimited credit card, a loss of tens or even hundreds of billions was trivial; but for the wealthiest man, such a scenario was definitely not desirable.
Previously, the wealthiest man had not been in a position to take the initiative, so he had been dragging his feet, neither agreeing to anything nor outright refusing, just barely holding on.
But now that the real power players behind the scenes had a chance to communicate, there was no longer a need for lawyers or agents to nitpick over the contract one word at a ti.
“Who is it this ti?”
Lu Siyue, who had carefully stepped over to Chu Mo’s side after seeing him staring at his phone screen in a daze, asked softly even though she had already ford a guess in her heart.
Just a mont ago, Lu Siyue’s grandfather had given her a hint on the phone, telling her to follow her heart, which naturally ant that she was inclined to side with Chu Mo.
By this ti, Lu Siyue had already considered herself one of Chu Mo’s people, so her words carried a closeness they hadn’t before.
Chu Mo, with his mind occupied with strategy and without lifting his head, replied:
“Zhang Dahua.”
His words fell, and unconsciously he reached to adjust his glasses only to find nothing on the bridge of his nose, causing him to briefly pause before rembering that he should have asked the butler to bring him a pair.
After regaining his composure, he gently pressed the answer button on the fifth ring of the phone.
“This is Chu Mo.”
After a brief introduction, a hearty and familiar voice ca from the other end of the call.
As Hua Country’s wealthiest man, with a net worth of two hundred and eighty billion and in control of the trillion-market-value Wanlin Group, Zhang Dahua was a household na throughout the country.
Often seen in various television news segnts, appearing even more frequently than many top-tier celebrities, Zhang Dahua’s voice was slightly hoarse and distinctive, one that could be imdiately imprinted in one’s mind.
“Chu, my young brother, I’ve heard about you for a long ti and have always wanted to et you. I haven’t had the chance until now. I ought to thank you for how you treated my son the last ti…”
Zhang Dahua’s voice was booming, and since the bar was silent at the mont, with roughly a dozen of the well-off heirs even suppressing their breathing to the lowest level, those closest to Chu Mo could faintly make out Zhang Dahua’s words.
This group included Li Ming, Lu Siyue, the young man with earrings, Zhou Gang, and Zhao Lili who had been standing behind Chu Mo the whole ti.
The most excited among them was Zhou Gang, the youth who nearly had a fallout with Chu Mo but later stood by his side in a fight and even took a punch for him. His body trembled slightly as if he were the one speaking with the richest man. His once fairly handso face flushed as he looked at Chu Mo with a gaze that was no longer just admiration but akin to viewing him as a hero.
