Chapter 450: Meeting with Qing Guo and Qing Cheng
The next day, Chu Mo had someone pilot a helicopter to send Qiu Shui back home. She had a total of only five days of vacation, and after spending one day with Chu Mo, she really didn't have much time left to reunite with her family. Naturally, he couldn't let her spend too much time on the road.
Of course, Qiu Shui could spend a pleasant vacation with her family, but Chu Mo was getting a headache over who to send to Saudi Arabia to take over for her. After a night of contemplation, Chu Mo had made up his mind to send Qiu Shui to Britain to expand into the foreign markets.
Britain is the financial trading center of the world. Carving out a niche there would be tantamount to holding the lifeline of the entire world. Such an achievement is absolutely incomparable to the assets in Saudi Arabia and Dubai.
Chu Mo currently owns two percent of Alibaba's shares. These shares may seem minimal, but considering Alibaba's market value of sixty trillion, just this two percent is worth a whole one hundred and twenty billion—not a number to be sniffed at.
Similarly, he had also purchased ten percent of Citibank's shares from Saudi Prince Alwaleed, which were also worth one hundred billion. However, Citibank's shares were transferred to the names of the sisters Qing Guo and Qing Cheng. Chu Mo was eager for Qiu Shui to go to Britain because he saw the vast trading market there.
With Princess Mina's connection and his limitless funds, acquiring several banks or holding shares of the top 100 global banks in his hands was an incredibly tempting prospect.
Apart from Qiu Shui, Dong Xun'er also brought good news. During his last trip to Capital City, Chu Mo and Dong Xun'er met with Tianxin Group's Chairman Luo Hao, who promised to sell Tianxin Building, Capital City's tallest building, to Chu Mo for fifty billion.
Luo Hao's only condition was for Chu Mo to oppose the Yang family, one of the eight great families in Capital City, which led to an unpleasant parting between Chu Mo and Yang Xuan at the banquet in Chang'an Club.
As for the subsequent negotiations with Luo Hao, Chu Mo didn't inquire about them; instead, he left everything in Dong Xun'er's hands. Now, the other party finally relented.
If the acquisition of Tianxin Building for fifty billion is successful, Dong Xun'er will have control over not only three of the tallest buildings in the Magic City but also the tallest building in Capital City.
From the two-hundred-and-twenty billion Central Building, two-hundred-and-seventy billion Financial Building, and four hundred billion Central Building, to the five hundred billion Tianxin Building in Capital City, Dong Xun'er's total assets have reached a terrifying one thousand and four hundred billion.
Surpassing Zhan Bingxue's Bafang International Hotel's one thousand and two hundred billion, she became the domestic spokesperson with the most assets at Chu Mo's side.
Dong Xun'er is full of ambition, something Chu Mo felt the first time he met her. It was her indomitable spirit that attracted Chu Mo and gave her the opportunity.
The Tianxin Building in Capital City is just the beginning. According to Dong Xun'er's plan, her ultimate goal is to acquire the tallest buildings in all first- and second-tier cities across the country, and then all the landmark buildings in major cities worldwide. If her idea is realized, the total assets involved may exceed ten trillion.
To achieve such a goal, no one in the world could provide her with sufficient funds except Chu Mo, who possesses the limitless bank card.
However, it's precisely because of the limitless bank card that Dong Xun'er's ambition is in line with his expectations. Perhaps one day, Dong Xun'er might become his most trusted confidant.
The idea of transferring Dong Xun'er to Saudi Arabia to take over Qiu Shui's duties only circled in his mind for a moment before Chu Mo immediately dismissed it.
Each of the several spokespeople in Hua Country is very important. They are the foundation of his establishment in the Magic City. Mr. Chu's respect is not only due to his financial power but also intimately linked to several powerful spokespersons. Without these spokespeople, Chu Mo could never have the prestige he has now.
Dong Xun'er cannot be moved, and the same goes for Zhan Bingxue, Qin Zixuan, as well as Yang Xuan and Liang Bing from the Longevity Club. Besides them, Chu Mo really couldn't find anyone else he trusted at that moment.
After Qiu Shui left, Chu Mo thought hard all day and weighed the pros and cons but still couldn't find a suitable candidate, and ultimately he had to set the matter aside.
In the afternoon, Chu Mo arranged to meet someone, not at Tianxiang Garden or the Financial Building, which were his properties, but at Seasons Pavilion.
Seasons Pavilion is a well-known private club in the Magic City. Although its status can't compare to the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, where only billionaires are entertained, it is considered one of the top social circles in the Magic City.
The club is membership-based, and without the joint recommendation of at least three members, entry is impossible. Ordinary people don't even think about it, and even some wealthy magnates can't get in if they don't have enough connections.
One distinctive feature of Seasons Pavilion is its varying daily menu. The reservation method is also quite unique, guests can only inform how many people will attend today, and the rest is arranged entirely by Seasons Pavilion. The menu is based on the season's ingredients with restaurant-chosen dishes, with different options for each table every day.
Here, you can also enjoy the beautiful view of the Huangpu River.
Long ago, on his first collaboration with the dean of Fudan University, Chu Mo met here, and at that time, the host was none other than the chairman of Fuli Industry, Sun Shangwu.
