Chapter 195 – 156 The Embryo of the Immortal Club_3
However, if one were to truly scrutinize, the so-called top-tier circle on the ninety-fifth floor, despite its exalted status, in reality, its five mbers were rely mbers in na who had joined Tianxiang Garden, but in fact, they hardly ever visited this place.
Not to ntion the elderly Cao Renyi, who had only reluctantly visited once after persistent invitations from the wealthiest man and could not refuse, and never stepped foot here again.
Even Fan Zhijian, who was present, had only been here three tis, two of which were to entertain guests.
As for the other three top billionaires, it was mostly the sa.
Therefore, the ninety-fifth floor, rather than being a gathering place for billionaires, was more like a gimmick, a symbol of status.
If Chu Mo wanted to surpass the wealthiest man’s layout and truly make this place a gathering spot for these billionaire families, he needed to bring sothing unique to the table.
Zhang Dahua thought of using beauty to attract people, for which he even found nine won with dreamy looks to serve as maids.
There were so effects, at least whenever soone ntioned the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, they would think of those nine charming won and the service fit for emperors.
But the effect was limited to that.
The five billionaires, with their fortunes worth hundreds of billions, could be counted on one hand the number of tis they had set foot in this place.
Therefore, the first thing Chu Mo thought of was his last idle chat with Zhang Dongdong.
To build a world-class club for the wealthy, he had to have sothing that these billionaires were interested in; if he possessed the ans to extend their lives, as Cao Renyi had said, then they wouldn’t leave even if he asked them to.
He hadn’t been resolute before, rely because he found it too troubleso; the investnt was huge, the ti commitnt enormous, and since he had just obtained an unlimited credit card, his mind was preoccupied with pleasures, naturally, he wasn’t interested in committing.
Now, since Chu Mo was intent on creating his own elite club, he would not care about how much money it took or how much ti it wasted.
Taking a deep breath, under the watchful eyes of the two top billionaires, Chu Mo nodded solemnly:
“One hundred billion is just the initial investnt. With this money, I will build a research laboratory, summon the world’s top scientists, solve all their concerns, and let these top scientists concentrate on their research.”
“The second phase of investnt will be between two hundred and five hundred billion; during this stage, I will fully support the scientists in their experints and provide them with various research materials; and the third installnt of investnt will not be less than the sum of the first two.”
“My idea is, even if we can’t find a way to endlessly extend life, at the very least, we should be able to increase the lifespan of the entire human race by five to ten years.”
“For this goal, even if it costs a trillion, it is worth it.”
Chu Mo’s eyes radiated confidence and calm; he was not one to make empty boasts.
If he speaks of such matters, it is because he intends to undertake them with a grand gesture.
“I’ve heard that Mr. Chu has a hundred billion in one card, but even so, isn’t that goal of a trillion quite far off?
How about this, Mr. Chu, you as the leader issue a financing invitation to the entire upper circle of Magic Capital; with your one hundred billion as the foundation, there should be many interested in this project. Others aside, I’m willing to contribute a billion or eight hundred million to Mr. Chu’s research.”
The speaker was Fan Zhijian, whose elderly family mbers were advanced in age, so he genuinely hoped that Chu Mo would imdiately embark on the research.
As Fan Zhijian finished speaking and before Chu Mo could respond, Cao Renyi imdiately added:
“I believe with Mr. Chu’s reputation, he wouldn’t fool us old n with such matters. Alright then, if Mr. Chu truly has the intention to conduct this kind of research, I am willing to contribute fifty billion to it.”
As the old man finished speaking, Chu Mo suddenly waved his hand, disregarding the puzzled expressions of the two n before him, his face earnest as he spoke seriously:
“I appreciate your sentints, but my research does not accept any donations or funding; the entire research cost will be borne by alone.
The trillion is only a hypothetical number; the actual amount will be determined through practice. You don’t have to worry about running short of funds; since I proposed this idea, I naturally have the confidence to bear all the research costs.”
He paused briefly, his tone shifting slightly, his expression becoming a bit more solemn:
“You both should know that I’ve not been in Magic Capital for long, my foundations are shallow, and connections are my greatest weakness. I have ample idle funds at my disposal but lack the necessary connections.
Setting up a world-class research lab is an immature idea of mine. I am willing to front the money for it, but I lack the contacts to invite those top scientists. On this matter, I need a few pointers from you both.”
Fan Zhijian spread his hands helplessly and said:
“Mr. Chu, I really can’t be of help with this. If you needed a bodyguard to ensure your family’s safety, I’d be the first to volunteer, but when it cos to finding Nobel Prize scientists, I’m powerless. However… haha, I might not be able to assist, but our friend Cao here is indeed an expert in this field.
Cao’s Star Moon Technology already has a host of top scientists, and while their research fields differ, these top scientists have their own channels of communication. With just a word from Cao, what kind of person couldn’t he bring to you?”
Chu Mo turned his gaze toward the older man before him, Cao Renyi, whose hair had already turned half white, and gently nodded:
“Mr. Chu refuses donations, and we can’t help in that regard, but I will do my utmost to assist with the invitations.”
With the help of this top mogul controlling a technology company valued at three trillion, Chu Mo’s plan that had only been strategy on paper could now be put into action.
He raised his glass solemnly:
“Mr. Cao, Mr. Fan, you will be the first mbers of the Immortal Club. I promise you, should our research yield results, you will be the first to benefit.”
Both n raised their glasses simultaneously.
As the three n clinked their glasses lightly, a world-class club devoted to uncovering the secrets of human longevity—a club worth over a trillion—began to take shape.
