Trillionaire's Slice of Life

There was one day left before the first meeting of the Longevity Club for the wealthy.

The atmosphere in the entire city had suddenly become three parts more solemn.

Long convoys of cars could constantly be seen driving through the streets, and many traffic lights at intersections inexplicably had their green phases extended. At the same time, countless burly men in black suits began to appear before the eyes of the public.

Before the banquet started, the club finally welcomed its first guest; this person was none other than Geng Pan, the heir to the Ross family from the United States.

This most favorable competitor of the Ross family had a profound friendship with Chu Mo. Although they hadn't met many times, the two often communicated by phone.

Chu Mo also had a significant layout in the United States, with a total investment of over ten billion, and the person in charge was his childhood friend Li Fei. Of course, the entire United States was the Ross family's territory. If Li Fei wanted to develop, he inevitably needed the help of the Ross family.

With Chu Mo's unlimited financial support and the care of the Ross family, as long as Li Fei was not a fool, he could at least develop steadily.

Chu Mo had not invested too much in the United States because it was the Ross family's backyard. A trial investment of a hundred billion or so was acceptable, but if he invested too much, it would inevitably touch the interests of the Ross family, and it would be a loss not worth the gain if this affected the relationship between the two families.

The investment of this hundred billion was entirely managed by Li Fei, and Chu Mo hardly interfered.

Of course, Paradise Island, worth twenty billion US dollars, had also become Li Fei's backyard, and now Li Fei had become quite a famous figure in his own circles in the United States.

As the heir to the Ross family, Geng Pan arrived a day early to take the lead for the current Family Head, Ross Rothschild, who was nearly ninety years old this year, ensuring that all reception work was flawless.

Chu Mo naturally gave a grand reception to this close friend from the United States. The last time the Fan brothers' Bafang Jewelry Store opened, the other party had actively supported him, and Chu Mo always remembered this kindness.

The arrival of Geng Pan also signaled that the entire banquet reception work had officially moved into its formal phase, with all staff energized to their utmost.

Geng Pan was arranged to stay in the presidential suite on the eighty-eighth floor of Tianxiang Garden, and the dozens of bodyguards he brought along, except for a few who stayed, were all arranged to stay at the nearby Bafang International Hotel.

Just like the first time they met, the blond and blue-eyed Geng Pan was still strikingly handsome. Being fluent in nine languages, coupled with a height of over 1.9 meters and a robust build, just his appearance alone was enough to be the idol in the hearts of countless girls.

Unlike the low profile he kept during their first meeting, Geng Pan, with the support of Chu Mo's hundreds of billions of US dollars, had also managed to bring a large number of veterans and followers to his side. Originally among the few heirs, his power was only at the bottom, but now, after more than a year of development, Geng Pan had become the most powerful contender in the entire family, even surpassing the brother who was originally the most favored.

There were even predictions in the United States that Geng Pan had about a 40% chance of inheriting the Ross family's business, while the second-ranked eldest son only had a 30% chance.

Perhaps it was because of the elevation in his family status that Geng Pan's aura had become increasingly powerful, almost giving off an intimidating presence.

Even compared to Britain's Prince of Wales, his radiance was impossible to conceal.

"Chu, our family elder's visit this time, one reason is for your club's No. 2 Longevity Pill. Although the No. 1 Longevity Pill is also quite effective, it hasn't met the elder's requirements. The elder once said that if your club could develop the No. 2 Longevity Pill within a year, then he'd be willing to engage in in-depth cooperation with you.

If your club could develop the No. 2 Longevity Pill within six months, the elder would have a surprise for you. Of course, Chu, you have to guarantee that as soon as the No. 2 Longevity Pill is successfully developed, our family elder must be the first to use it."

In the Emperor Hall on the hundredth floor of Tianxiang Garden, there was a small private bar. Although the bar wasn't large, any bottle of red wine placed in the cupboard was a top-level collection worth over a million, with several even being direly sought after through Wu Kunpeng's channels at great expense by Chu Mo.

Chu Mo and Geng Pan were currently tasting what was known as a top-level vintage called the "liquid gold," the liquid in the high-stemmed glass even appearing somewhat viscous.

This top vintage of red wine was a fifty-year-old collection, with only thirteen bottles left in the entire world, each priced as high as 2.7 million.

Chu Mo clinked glasses with the blond man before him, sipping his drink gently before slowly speaking out,

"Mr. Geng Pan, while we share a profound friendship that no one can change, our club still has its own rules.

The Longevity Pill is the foundation of our club, and it's also something we've developed at the cost of countless efforts and resources. I know that many of the top scientists in the Longevity Club were recruited with the help of Mr. Geng Pan, but there's a saying in Hua Country that without rules, there's no circle. Regarding the Longevity Pill, I hope for your understanding, Mr. Geng Pan...!"

The handsome man opposite Chu Mo's words put on an even more serious expression.

As the Ross family heir, Geng Pan was proficient in nine languages, and to communicate better with Chu Mo, he had specially taken the time to improve his Hua Country language skills to an expert level. Even if Chu Mo spoke in Classical Chinese, he could respond fluidly.
