Trillionaire's Slice of Life

Chapter 169 Yacht, Waves, Beautiful Lady

"When it comes to the world's most elite private islands, they're mostly monopolized by a few ancient families. What's released to the public, those that can be looked up and traded, can be considered the leftovers of these families, belonging to second-tier islands."

Lu Ye was holding a wine glass, leisurely leaning back on the soft sofa. He gently swirled the top-tier red wine in his hand, a bottle worth nearly a million, his expression tinged with a hint of sentimentality and reminiscence.

"Twenty years ago, when I was still young and impetuous, I was invited to visit an ancient family in the United States. Their hospitality was extended on an island in the Pacific Ocean, near the South-North Continent. To call it an island is an understatement; it's more like a small kingdom."

On the island, there were castles and villas, skyscrapers, whatnot—golf courses, racecourses, hunting grounds, racetracks, and even a vineyard.

As for the accompanying hospital, complete water and electricity facilities, first-class roads, docks, everything was available. There, the island's owner was the king of the entire islet, with just the serving staff numbering between four and five hundred," Lu Ye said, still with a look of reminiscence. He took a sip of the red wine and added gently,

"Chu Mo, if you're truly interested, I can inquire for you. However, the price will definitely not be low. These islands come with permanent rights; they are real, generation-spanning treasures."

"As for whether one can actually buy them from those ancient families, I can't guarantee it; after all, these families really aren't short on money."

Chu Mo, cup in hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the stage performance without immediately responding.

At the moment, a stage play depicting a love story between a mermaid and an astronaut was unfolding on stage. One soared through the vast expanse of space, the other swam in the immense ocean. Driven by love, hope, and dreams, they braved numerous hardships and challenges to compose a legendary romance between sea and sky.

The actress playing the mermaid was a top dancer from New Zealand. She possessed a transcendent elegance and her core was strong, allowing her to perform light and beautiful movements even in the cumbersome mermaid costume.

Chu Mo shifted his gaze from the stage and raised his glass to Lu Ye, who sat one seat away, his eyes serious as he said,

"The matter of the island, I'll trouble you to inquire, Lu Ye. If it works out, I'll invite you to relax on the island."

Lu Ye, who had been lounging on the sofa, leaned forward. He raised his glass to toast with Chu Mo and said with a complex look in his eyes,

"There's no denying age, and now, the world belongs to you young people."

The clinking of their glasses symbolized Chu Mo's intent to invest ten billion US dollars in purchasing one of the world's top private islands.

"Hahaha, young brother Chu, you can't favor one over the other. I've never been to an island in my life, so when I visit yours, you better not push me away," Lin Hongqiang, with a net worth of billions and sitting at the end of the row of tycoons, said with a hearty laugh. Chu Mo immediately looked around, raising his glass to everyone, and said,

"Lu Ye just mentioned, this matter is not certain, but since everyone is interested, we can count everyone in. Once I secure the island, let's all drink together,"

All the tycoons raised their glasses, their loud laughter carrying across the deck, where a group of second and third-generation rich kids looked into the hall curiously.

But even though they were curious, none of them had the guts to barge into the hall. In the presence of the tycoons, they could only tremble.

"Right, I heard there's a prime observatory at the front of the yacht, where you can see the underwater scenery. We old boys don't get out much, so let's not stay cooped up in here. How about we all go see the yacht? Maybe take a spin over the sea in young master Chu's helicopter?" Cao Renyi of Xingyue Technology suggested smilingly, and the group of tycoons who had been sitting all day got up.

As they rose, Chu Mo, who also stood up, gestured lightly and Danny, the butler, approached. Chu Mo cheerfully said,

"Take everyone for a tour around the ship, and if anyone wants to take a helicopter ride, just arrange it."

With his words, he bowed slightly to the tycoons, Discover exclusive tales on empire

"Gentlemen, please take a look around first. The friends on deck are all guests. I'll go greet them, and we can talk more later."

"Take your time, young brother Chu."

"Chu, you should spend more time with the young folks. Always hanging out with us old men will make you age faster, hahaha."

Watching the top tycoons led by the butler to the second-floor cabins for their yacht tour, Chu Mo took a deep breath and finally seemed to relax a little.

"Who would have thought that even you, Mr. Chu, would be nervous in front of these tycoons," said Liang Bing from behind him with a smile in her eyes. The ninety-fifth floor manager of Tianxiang Garden, dressed in a flaming red gown, had a face that could overthrow states and cities and seemed relieved.

Clearly, standing behind the tycoons, even though she had done nothing, she still felt enormous pressure.

Chu Mo glanced past the two dreamy women before him, his eyes gradually becoming calm. He casually turned and started walking toward the gangway, casually remarking,

"Nervous, not really. It just feels a bit uncomfortable. As for you, being the manager of Tianxiang Garden, you'll need to get used to such occasions."
