Chapter 449: World Financial Center
When Chu Mo met Qiu Shui again, he found that the woman who was originally charming and intelligent had become much more slender and efficient.
She alone was in charge of the investments in both Dubai and Saudi Arabia; overall, Chu Mo's total investments in these two countries exceeded three hundred and fifty billion, truly large-scale projects.
If the latest spokesperson, Jiang Rourou, received the most attention, then Qiu Shui, who had been fighting alone overseas for half a year, doing everything from scratch, was the one who was truly struggling alone.
As the oldest maidservant on the ninety-fifth floor of Tianxiang Garden, Qiu Shui had just celebrated her twenty-eighth birthday in Saudi Arabia two months prior. According to her plan, twenty-eight was the age she had chosen to retire from Tianxiang Garden. Now, she had found a new goal and life pursuit.
"Regarding Dubai, Prince Ben Hesed was indeed very considerate of me. Our investments are mainly in the tourism industry. At present, besides the Jiangnan Li family, Chu Group is the largest overseas investor. Even the King of Dubai places great importance on our project."
As for Saudi Arabia, there hasn't been enough time to fully open up the situation, but Mr. Chu, your investment of two hundred billion has already spread throughout Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East. Many countries are seeking your support, and there are even some willing to offer their princesses in exchange...!"
In the enormous bedroom on the third floor of Emperor's Mansion Villa Number One, wearing silk pajamas, Qiu Shui held a wine glass and was meticulously briefing Chu Mo on the overseas strategies.
As the first step abroad, Chu Mo also cared greatly about the affairs of Dubai and Saudi Arabia, checking in with Qiu Shui through phone calls after a regular interval, listening to her reports. To ensure her safety, Chu Mo had Jiang Tao select twenty of the strongest bodyguards from the detective agency to protect her overseas.
It could be said that Chu Mo had put a lot of thought into Qiu Shui's well-being.
However, her hard work and toil for over half a year finally paid off. The setups in both Dubai and Saudi Arabia were essentially complete, the initial stage opened up, and what remained was to methodically execute the plan.
At this moment, Chu Mo was lying lazily alone on the huge, luxurious bed. He had canceled all his appointments for the day, intending to focus on spending time with Qiu Shui. The side table was filled with delicious food. He casually picked up a fruit and bit into it, replenishing the energy he had just expended.
"Mr. Chu, we have established very deep friendships with both Saudi Arabia and Dubai, so what is your next step? With over a dozen countries in the Middle East, do you plan to use this to establish a presence throughout the entire region?"
Qiu Shui's eyes were bright. Although her nomadic life for over half a year had made her somewhat leaner, her handling of several hundred billion in assets and managing thousands of employees overseas, had gradually cultivated a subtle, formidable presence. Even Chu Mo couldn't help but look at her with new respect.
Wiping the corner of his mouth with a tissue, Chu Mo didn't reply. In fact, his next strategic moves weren't set in the Middle East. Regardless of how powerful Saudi Arabia and Dubai might be in their respective regions, on the global stage, they were nothing in comparison.
Truly influential powers, aside from Hua Country where Chu Mo was situated, were the US and Europe.
Chu Mo's best friend had already gone to the US, where Li Fei was now with the heir of the Rothschild family, Geng Pan. Although Li Fei didn't have any remarkable business acumen, with the support of the Ross family, which held the lifeline of the entire US, and Chu Mo's unlimited money, even a lump of mud could be propped up on the wall.
Moreover, while Li Fei was loyal and honest, it didn't mean he was naive. He found a rather good job after graduating from Normal University, and within three years, he had won the appreciation of his superiors. Had he not been too loyal, he could have been a small leader in the company by now, enjoying a rather comfortable life.
Li Fei didn't lack ability; what he lacked was a stage on which to showcase himself, and Chu Mo was the one who presented that stage to him. After staying on Paradise Island for half a month, Li Fei had opened a trade company in the US. He didn't have to worry about orders, as the Ross family and Chu Mo would make arrangements.
His biggest task now was to stabilize his footing, and once he did, Chu Mo would start investing heavily.
Of course, whether as an act of reciprocity or for potential future investments, Chu Mo, at the same time Li Fei went to the US, once again provided Geng Pan with ten billion US dollars to aid in securing control of the Rothschild family.
For Chu Mo, of the three heirs of the Rothschild family, only Geng Pan's succession would be the most helpful to Chu Mo, which is why he spared no effort in supporting him.
However, the layout in the US had not yet unfolded and could only be said to be in its initial stages. The ultimate outcome would depend greatly on how important Li Fei proved to be. If he had the boldness, he could become a tycoon; at the very least, achieving billionaire status was entirely within reach.
