Chapter 430: The Number One Power Below the Eight Great Families_2
Companies with a hundred billion scale are not as numerous as cow hair in Hua Country, but indeed there are a good number, this level can only be considered top of the industry, but it does not have enough say. Once you have a trillion-dollar company in hand, that is a completely different concept. At least, even the eight major families wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Chu Mo's attitude towards Jiang Rourou went from impatience in the beginning to hopeful expectations afterward, and this shift took merely a week. After getting in touch with Cao Renyi, he had Jiang Rourou conduct a field inspection at Cao Renyi's StarYue Technology and also began looking for suitable candidates.
With a donation of two billion, Chu Mo got Cao Renyi to agree to let him headhunt from his company, building the backbone of his own firm.
Of course, reaching this step was far from enough. To start a top-tier technology company aiming for the stars, there was still so much to prepare. Chu Mo even ordered his other spokespersons to support Jiang Rourou with all their might!
This treatment was something no one else had ever enjoyed.
You should know that whether it's Zhan Bingxue, Qin Zixuan, or Qiu Shui who set foot in Dubai alone, these spokespersons achieved what they have today through their own efforts, step by step. Even Dong Xun'er, who had seized opportunities as if her life depended on it to control the three grand towers of the Magic City, had fought hard for her position.
But Jiang Rourou was completely different; from the beginning, she received the utmost support from Chu Mo, and she had the power of the other spokespersons at her disposal. This treatment was genuinely unparalleled.
Of course, the reason Jiang Rourou received such treatment was not that her abilities were exceptional, but because she happened upon the right season. First, she had a grandfather who adored her and had secured her the opportunity to become a spokesperson. Her grandfather's own strength was formidable enough that even Chu Mo had to expend great effort to woo and please him.
Moreover, Jiang Rourou's wishes happened to align perfectly with Chu Mo's intentions, and with his intention to cultivate a trillion-dollar group, the combined circumstances resulted in this thirty-two-year-old beauty leaping to the status of the most favored person by Chu Mo's side.
Jiang Rourou's plan gradually began taking shape on the agenda, and Chu Mo also planned to move Ru Yu, a senior at Shui Mu University in Capital City, to Jiang Rourou's side. He always felt somewhat uneasy about leaving it all to Jiang Rourou alone, so perhaps with Ru Yu, a bright student from Shui Mu University to assist her, things might go more smoothly.
Ru Yu was already a senior and would be graduating in half a year. Initially, Chu Mo meant for Ru Yu to pursue graduate studies, but the girl was eager to step out of campus, claiming she had enough of studying and the mere sight of books made her feel nauseous. Naturally, Chu Mo couldn't force her to stay.
Since she was already at the internship stage of her senior year with hardly any academic responsibilities, it was better to let her join Jiang Rourou in starting a business from scratch than to waste time.
In early February, Chu Mo took a Boeing private jet directly to Capital City. His destination was the banquet held at the Chang'an Club, at which the Yang family, the largest force in Capital City, would also be present.
And Chu Mo's target was Yang Jianguo, the Yang family's second young master and future heir.
The banquet was scheduled for seven in the evening. Chu Mo arrived in Capital City by private jet at noon and arranged the time and place to meet with Ru Yu. Afterwards, he took a chauffeured car to a particular location.
After all, Capital City was not his territory. Although Chu Mo had no deep conflict with the Yang family of Capital City, after the previous dangerous encounter, he paid more attention to his own security.
Hence, accompanying him this time were, aside from the detective agency's head Jiang Tao and the discharged bodyguard team leader Fan Gao, also the chief instructor of the Twelve Golden Phoenixes, Chen Yue.
Chu Mo was accompanied by ninety-five top-level bodyguards, almost half his force, including several of the most elite fighters right by his side, and besides these people, he also brought another spokesperson with him.
Dong Xun'er.
As the controller of the three tallest skyscrapers in the magical capital, Dong Xun'er was recently the most dazzling new star in the city, and her status and identity had similarly risen, earning her the reputation of being one of the top tycoons in the magical capital. Her influence was even surpassing the established four major families.
The most important reason for bringing Dong Xun'er along was that this woman's ambition was sufficiently grand.
After fully taking control of the three tallest buildings in the magical capital, she set her sights on other cities. She was now negotiating with a family in Suzhou, aiming to acquire Suzhou's tallest building, and upon hearing that Chu Mo was visiting the Capital City, she once again directed her attention toward the tallest building in the Capital City.
The Tianxin Building in the Capital City, also known as Huaguo Zun, is the headquarters of the Hua Country Tianxin Group. It is located in the core area of the Central Business District (CBD), the Z15 plot, east of Jinhe East Road, bordered by a planned green space to the south, west of Jinhe Road, and north of Guanghua Road.
This building covers an area of 11,478 square meters, with a total height of 528 meters, 108 floors above ground, and seven below, accommodating an office space for 12,000 people. The total construction area is 437,000 square meters. The building's external design is inspired by the ancient ritual vessel "zun", and it features the world's first jump lift elevator system over 500 meters high.
On June 8, 2014, the Capital City Tianxin Building was named one of the "Top Ten Contemporary Buildings of Hua Country".
This is a superstructure that can be discussed in the same breath as the Central Building, the tallest building in the magical capital.
What's more, the Tianxin Building is Capital City's tallest structure. As the capital of the entire Hua Country, Capital City possesses an incomparable status. The difficulty of acquiring this building could perhaps surpass that of obtaining the Central Building in the magical capital from the Li family of Jiangnan.
Originally, Chu Mo was not very optimistic about Dong Xun'er's plan. Logically, if she set her sights on Suzhou, starting with some cities around the magical capital, success was much more likely with Chu Mo's influence in the magical capital. It would be easier to focus on super cities like Capital City and Xiangjiang once sufficient influence was established.
However, since Dong Xun'er had taken the initiative to approach him, and she had chosen a hellishly difficult challenge, Chu Mo had no particular reason to obstruct her.
The primary purpose of Chu Mo's visit to Capital City was to attend the Chang'an Club's evening event. As for Dong Xun'er's goal of acquiring the Tianxin Building, he considered it a mere sideline—if it succeeded, so be it; if not, it would be within reason. He did not harbor much hope.
"Mr. Chu, the Tianxin Building is owned by the Tianxin Group, whose main businesses are in finance, industry, and other service sectors.
In December 2018, the World Brand Lab released the '2018 World Brand Top 500', ranking Tianxin Group Limited as number 241. In July 2019, the 'Fortune' Global 500 was announced, placing it at number 137.
The market value of Tianxin Group is 4.5 trillion. Its chairman, Luo Hao, in Capital City, is the second largest force after the Yang family. Yang family, Luo family, and the Liu family are known as the three major local forces in Capital City. Since you, Mr. Chu, are in the same industry, I have arranged a meeting for you with Luo Hao, the chairman of Tianxin Group, in your name.
The meeting is scheduled for two o'clock in the afternoon at the Tianxin Building."
Chu Mo's entourage included ninety-five professional bodyguards, and together with Dong Xun'er and her assistant, the team visiting Capital City numbered a hundred strong. After disembarking from the plane, the hundred-member team took dozens of luxury cars, driving grandly toward the center of Capital City.
In the back of the Rolls-Royce, Dong Xun'er was briefing Chu Mo about their target. Chu Mo did not refuse; he needed a credible pretext for coming from the magical capital to Capital City. If he had gone directly to attend the Chang'an Club's evening event, it would have attracted too much attention. Now, with the connection to Capital City's Luo family, his arrival seemed much more justified.
This was also why Chu Mo did not reject Dong Xun'er's arrangement.
The Luo family of Capital City was, apart from one of the eight great families, the Yang family, the largest power in Capital City, and even more prominent than the Liu family.
The Luo Hao Chu Mo was about to meet controlled the Tianxin Group, valued at 4.5 trillion, should be considered one of the top forces in the entire Hua Country, outside of the eight major families.
The convoy of dozens of luxury cars slowly made its way through the streets of Capital City, and Chu Mo's arrival was sure to stir up a storm in Capital City.
