Trillionaire's Slice of Life

The identities of the people here are half a notch higher than those of ordinary billionaires but fall short of surpassing 500 billion and reaching another level. Thus, they can only band together, perhaps holding a higher status than the general billionaires, but ultimately unable to blend into the circles of the higher echelon.

Of course, the minimum wealth of these individuals is over 200 billion, and similarly, there are also about thirty people in this category.

As for the final circle, it consists of billionaires like Ren Wenxuan. They are the base level of the entire club and also the threshold for joining the Longevity Club. These people own over 100 billion in assets, but they cannot progress further. Their sole idea is to move closer, trying by all means to cultivate good relationships with the circle above. As for the top-tier circle, they have never aspired to it from the start.

Everyone took their seats according to their status, and as time reached half-past midday, following Chu Mo's nod of approval, numerous female servers dressed in cheongsam, with graceful figures and stunning looks, began to continuously serve dishes throughout the dining hall of the club.

To ensure the banquet's smooth progression, the club not only hired several dozen female servers but also drew over a hundred good-looking servers from the four main halls of Tianxiang Garden and other departments to provide service.

For the food, all the star chefs in Lujiazui were invited to the Longevity Club's kitchen. Currently, in the club, the only two five-star chefs in Magic City were present, along with all five of the city's four-star chefs. Dozens of Michelin three-star chefs attended too, and even Michelin two-star chefs, who could head the kitchens in star-rated hotels, could only serve here by chopping and washing vegetables.

Regarding ingredients, more than a dozen five-star hotels in Lujiazui had temporarily closed, and they began stocking up on a variety of top-tier ingredients weeks in advance. From Kobe, the prime Wagyu beef was even reserved in hundreds of kilograms.

It was thanks to the collective efforts of everyone in the club that such a lavish lunch was created.

Scores of top female servers served the dishes quickly and orderly, dazzling everyone present. However, due to prior rehearsal, even with a rushed schedule, everything was well-organized without a hint of panic.

When the tables were brimming with dishes, the servers filled each person's glass with fine wine. Seeing the moment as ripe, Chu Mo picked up his wine glass, gently stood up, and then raised his glass towards everyone present. Under the gaze of hundreds of top billionaires, Chu Mo slowly began to speak:

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am deeply honored by your esteem. Today, our Longevity Club is officially making its debut. Although the club has been established for over a year, we have not held any events until now. This is the club's first collective activity. Your presence is our biggest support. Our club will continue to strive to provide more perfect services to everyone.

Here I would like to share some good news with everyone. Headed by our club's chief scientist, the preliminary work for the Number Two Longevity Pill has been completed, and all tests are proceeding smoothly. With the help of the most authoritative brain neurologists in De Country and the Ross family's various precious equipment, the development of the Number Two Longevity Pill may be even more successful.

Based on the predictions of the research team, the efficacy of the Number Two Longevity Pill will be even more refined, able to extend the average person's lifespan by more than five years and free of significant side effects, making it suitable for the general population. By the end of this year at the latest, when the Number Two Longevity Pill is released, I hope our Longevity Club can bring you the most precious health.

Now, to everyone's good health, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

...

Everyone lifted their glasses together, and as Chu Mo tossed back the red wine in his glass, he nodded to everyone once more, signaling that the luncheon had officially begun.

Chu Mo's table was filled with an array of authentic dishes, some of which had been expensively air-freighted from countries across Europe, and even some delicacies were purchased through high-cost channels by Wu Kunpeng.

Since Wu Kunpeng submitted to Chu Mo, in addition to being sent to Capital City to take over Guangsha Bodyguard Company, Wu Kunpeng also fully opened up his channels to Chu Mo.

The five pounds of Spirit Rhyme Tea that Chu Mo had prepared in advance were purchased for eight billion through Wu Kunpeng's channels.

Similarly, this channel did not only provide Spirit Rhyme Tea. Other items were equally precious, such as rouge rice valued at 300,000 per half kilogram and various top-tier materials in abundance.

For this banquet, Chu Mo had spent several billion dollars to acquire various luxury items.

Even the many centi-billionaires present might not have the chance to enjoy these luxuries.

Take, for instance, the Spirit Rhyme Tea, priced at one hundred and fifty million per half a kilogram, available only in Hua Country, and of which only the eight major families receive a small annual quota. Others, despite their wealth, cannot purchase it. Thus, even among the centi-billionaire attendees, many couldn't help but marvel at the array of top-tier luxurious delicacies on the table, expressing amazement at the depth of the Longevity Club while also being stunned by Chu Mo's formidable power.

"Mr. Chu, this Gold Dragon Fish is quite rare. I too acquired one from a merchant a few years ago by chance and have been unable to forget it since. I thought I'd never come across it again in my lifetime, but to my surprise, I have encountered it once more at your place. Truly lucky."

Luxury goods patriarch Edward savored the fish soup in front of him, the size of a palm and golden in color, yet with semi-transparent innards; he nodded slightly, reflecting on the taste.

These Gold Dragon Fish live in the deep sea and are extremely rare, perishing immediately out of water and thus very difficult to keep fresh. Even if fishermen occasionally catch them, they often die due to improper storage.

Edward had also obtained a Gold Dragon Fish by a stroke of fortune, which at the time cost him a whopping three hundred thousand US dollars.

He never thought he'd taste this Gold Dragon Fish again in his lifetime. Yet not only did he taste it again here, but looking around, almost every dining table in the entire hall had a bowl of Gold Dragon Fish soup.

It's worth noting that just for this bowl of fish soup alone, excluding various ingredients and processing fees, the price of the fish itself was over two million dollars. Adding in preservation, transportation, top-tier garnishes, and a Michelin-starred chef's touch, the finished dish's cost could exceed three million dollars.

And here, a gold dragon fish soup, which could bankrupt a person, was merely the most common dish on the table, revealing the terrifying opulence of the feast.

Seeing the top magnate beside him enjoying the meal, Chu Mo gave Liang Bing a slight nod. As one of the three giants of the Longevity Club, Liang Bing immediately picked up the communal chopsticks and served the dish to the top magnate.

Amidst the other's beaming smile, Chu Mo slowly spoke up:

"Mr. Edward, I've heard that in the task hall, you've accepted a D-level task. I'm curious which of your brands you plan to partner with our Human in April for?"

Edward, as the luxury goods patriarch, controlled sixteen top luxury brands including widely known ones like Chanel, Hermès, and Gucci.

Each of these brands was a world-class label; a partnership with any one of them would greatly benefit Human in April in breaking out of Hua Country and entering the international market.

The elderly man, who had already reached the age of a septuagenarian, had obviously become less devoted to his business. He had health issues early on, but it was only because he had the best medical team that he could hang on till now.

For Edward now, money and power were just remnants of his play; he no longer cared much about them.

Compared to a brand, he was more concerned about partnering with Chu Mo.

After all, he was determined to obtain the Longevity Pill Number Two.

Putting down his knife and fork and looking slightly focused, Edward slowly said,

"May I ask, Mr. Chu, which of my brands interests you? Whichever you prefer, feel free to take it!"
