Chapter 201: Just made a little money.

"Sir, Mark is here!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen put down the book in his hand and looked towards the door, only to see Mark looking at him with some excitement and nervousness.

She smiled and waved to him, then sat up from the sofa.

"Don't stand there, come and sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Mark walked over quickly, bent down and called respectfully: “Good afternoon, Mr. Su!”

"Hey~ Don't be so polite. After all, we are friends, right?" Although Su Chen said this, he was still very satisfied with Mark's attitude.

After Mark sat down, Su Chen waved to Jiang Hui without any hesitation and asked him to bring the notebook over.

"Let's settle the bill first before chatting, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to chat." Su Chen said jokingly.

Mark's eyes widened when he heard this. Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't show his urgency, so he had to hold it in.

"Mr. Su, there's no need to rush. We have plenty of time today."

Although he said that, Su Chen saw Mark's slightly trembling calves and his hands clasped in one hand, which all showed his inner excitement.

Su Chen smiled and shook his head.

At this time, Jiang Hui also took the notebook down from upstairs. After Su Chen took the notebook, he started operating on the tea table.

"Longteng Technology was sold for 5 billion US dollars, and you own 49% of the shares, which is 2.45 billion. You promised me the 60% share before, which means your profit is 980 million US dollars."

"If there is no problem, shall we start the transfer?" Su Chen had already opened the transfer page of the Swiss Bank. He could complete the transfer quickly by simply entering Mark's bank card.

Mark quickly reported his bank account number, and Su Chen completed the operation in less than ten seconds.

The customer service call from Swiss Bank came very quickly. When Su Chen closed the notebook and handed it to Jiang Hui, Mark's cell phone rang.

He said sorry to Su Chen and stood up and walked aside to answer the phone. He vaguely heard Mark's voice and guessed that it was the Swiss Bank that was upgrading his service.

With nearly 1 billion US dollars in working capital, this makes it a top-level premium client in Swiss Bank, so of course it needs to be well maintained.

As for why Su Chen did not receive a call from the Swiss Bank customer service, it was mainly because his Swiss Bank card was anonymous, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Of course, Su Chen could not enjoy the services that the top clients of Swiss Bank enjoyed, but his services did not exceed these even a little bit.

The call lasted six or seven minutes and when Mark came back he apologized several times.

Su Chen also understood these, just like the manager of Construction Bank in Shanghai, who recommended all kinds of bank services and products to him. If Su Chen had not been a little too strong-willed at that time, he would have been twisted by that beautiful bank manager.

People say that the entertainment industry is chaotic, but in fact the financial industry is just as chaotic, and even more so in some aspects.

There is nothing those beauties can't do, except what you can't think of.

"What are your plans for the future?" Su Chen asked softly after taking a sip of tea.

Mark became interested when he heard this topic, and the excitement on his face was no less than when he received the money just now.

"Mr. Su, your China is truly amazing. Whether it's the city construction, cultural heritage, or delicious food, I'm addicted to it."

"It's also very safe at night. There are still people on the streets in the early morning. I didn't expect that."

"I'm not afraid of you making fun of me, Mr. Su. I haven't even visited the most famous Bund in Shanghai in the past few days, let alone the Oriental Pearl Tower and other landmarks."

"Not only me, but also my family likes this city and this country very much."

"I plan to settle down in Shanghai first, then buy an RV and take my family on a trip around China to see the scenery and delicacies of various places!"

Su Chen actually saw expectation and yearning on Mark's face. There was no deliberate flattery or praise, it was purely from Mark's heart.

This made Su Chen curious about what Mark had experienced in the Magic City in the past few days.

After asking around, I learned that Mark and his family went to the Bund that night after arriving in Shanghai.

People who are familiar with Shanghai know how crowded the Bund is, especially at night. If nothing unexpected happened, an accident would have happened.

Mark and his wife were so engrossed in taking pictures of the scenery that their seven-year-old daughter was squeezed away by the crowd. They were both rather careless and it took them more than ten minutes to realize that their child was missing.

They immediately sought help from the police. They were both in despair at the time. Mark's wife cried her heart out, thinking she would never see her child again.

You should know that tens of thousands of children go missing in the Bald Eagle every year. It can be said that once they are missing, they are basically impossible to find. Even if they are found, they are more or less missing some parts.

Just when the two were feeling guilty, the Bund patrol officers received a notification from the platform saying that the child had been found and it only took about fifteen minutes.

When Mark and his wife followed the patrolman to find their daughter, she was concentrating on eating delicious food in a snack bar on Chenghuang Temple Snack Street near the Bund. She didn't look like she was missing at all.

After some inquiries, we learned that after Mark's daughter separated from them, she just walked alone with the crowd and somehow ended up at the City God Temple.

The owner of the snack bar found out that the little foreigner was alone, so he asked her if she had been separated from her family. After getting an affirmative answer, he immediately called the police.

He even specially prepared some special snacks from the store for her. Unexpectedly, this action opened the little girl's heart to food. She was so hungry that she still wasn't full even after eating four or five servings of snacks from the boss.

When Mark and his friends arrived, the little girl's belly was so full from eating so much that the boss felt so distressed.

After understanding the whole story, Mark didn't hesitate at all and directly took out 10,000 yuan as a thank you fee. How could the boss accept it? You know, this is a good thing to promote his own brand.

After some excuses, the boss finally only accepted the money the little girl paid for the meal, which was more than four hundred yuan.

Mark learned about the deliciousness of this snack shop from his daughter, so he took his wife to try it and was immediately captivated by the delicious food.

For several consecutive days, Mark and his family spent time in the Bund area and did not go anywhere else.

Su Chen did not expect that there would be such a bizarre thing here. He also understood why Mark had that expression before. Anyone would definitely remember it clearly.

Mark's long-term impression of bald eagles and his own personal experience directly formed a sharp contrast.

"Mark, you have to be mentally prepared. You may not be able to return to the Magic City for three to five years!" Su Chen said with a smile.

You have to know that every province and city in China has its own unique food culture. Even two adjacent counties have their own food and tourist attractions. If Mark really wants to see them all, it will take him several years to finish.

It is even possible to stay in a province for a year or two.

"Ah~ How is this possible? I estimate that it will only take three or four months to visit all those popular attractions!" Mark showed a puzzled look on his face. This was the conclusion he came to after watching a lot of videos online.

Mark quickly briefly explained his strategy.

After listening to Mark's introduction, Su Chen showed a helpless smile on his face. It turned out that his trip around China was to visit those famous tourist cities.

Places like 8D's Fog City, the Panda Kingdom of Chengdu, and the Carbon Capital of Xi'an. As for other nearby cities, they are not included in his guide. To put it bluntly, he chooses a city in each province to check in, to show that he has seen it.

"Mark, I suggest you visit each province one by one. You will definitely not be disappointed."

Mark nodded without thinking. He knew that Su Chen must have his reasons for saying that, and he knew more than himself, who had just arrived in China not long ago.

The two chatted about traveling again, and one of Mark's words touched Su Chen a lot.

"While you are young and can still walk, go and see everywhere, otherwise you will not be able to go anywhere when you are old and can't walk anymore!"

These words reminded Su Chen that he had not really seen the beautiful rivers and mountains of his motherland, so he thought about going on a spontaneous trip after finishing the things at hand.

This thought was like a seed, planted in Su Chen's heart.

"By the way, Mr. Su, I heard from Mr. Pei that you have an investment bank under your name. I would like to take out 500 million yuan of funds and entrust your company to act as an agent. I wonder if it is possible."

When Mark said this, he was also observing the changes in Su Chen's expression, and his little heart was beating non-stop. He didn't want to miss out on Su Chen, this big guy. The only thing that could make the two of them have something in common was the more than 900 million yuan he had.

He had a brief chat with Pei Rang before and learned that he was in charge of an investment bank called Yunmengze Capital. He also did some private research and found that the investment bank's industries were very broad.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to completely climb onto Su Chen's ship.

Su Chen was also expecting what Mark would say, but he didn't expect him to be so bold as to directly take out 500 million US dollars.

After a moment's silence, Su Chen said, "Take some time to talk to Pei Rang about this matter. He is in charge of the investment bank, so I won't interfere!"

Mark was a little confused when he heard this. If it were one of the big foreign investment banks, they would immediately nod in agreement when they heard that he was willing to entrust an investment of 500 million US dollars. They would not be like Su Chen.

However, Mark's awe of Su Chen increased a little more. It's hard to find a boss who can trust his subordinates so much and let the person in charge take control of the situation.

Everything that needed to be done was done, and everything that needed to be said was said. Mark did not stay to disturb Su Chen. He bowed to him and turned away.

Looking at Mark who was sent away by Jiang Hui, Su Chen muttered softly: “This Mark’s courage is really not simple!”

The 500 million US dollars of agency investment that Mark mentioned before was just a stepping stone and a touchstone he used to see what Su Chen's attitude towards him was.

If you agree, it means that you have a good impression of him, and this is not a one-time deal and you can still interact with each other in the future. As for refusing, there is no need to say too much.

"Anyway, everything has been handed over to Pei Rang, so why should I worry about it?"

Then Su Chen lay down on the sofa and picked up the novel he had been reading and continued reading.

Mr. Huang!
It is still the familiar private restaurant.

As Su Chen just walked to the corner of the stairs leading to the second floor, he heard the chatting of Si Cong and others. Their laughter was so happy.

"Hey, what are you talking about? You seem so happy!" Su Chen walked into the private room with a smile. To his surprise, there were quite a lot of people in the room.

In addition to Sicong and Qin Fen, Chen He and Hou Ting were also there.

When everyone saw Su Chen appear, they all stood up and greeted him.

"I thought it was just Sicong and Qin Fen, but I didn't expect you guys to be here too. Aren't you busy lately?" Su Chen waved his hand to signal everyone not to be so polite, and asked as he sat next to Hou Ting. "We just finished the spring season, and the club got a spot, so we stayed in Shanghai for a few days to celebrate!" Hou Ting explained with a smile.

Su Chen didn't know much about this, but he seemed to be one of the shareholders of the Sicong Club. He immediately looked at him and asked about the club's performance.

Sicong understood Su Chen's meaning in a second, and said with some excitement: "We have got a place in the finals, so we can try to become the world champion this year!"

Sicong had told him before that the e-sports market in China is getting better and better. If the club can win the League S global championship, it will be very important for the club and can increase the club's value several times.

"If they win the championship this year, I will give them a bonus!" What Su Chen cares about is not how much money he can make after winning the championship, but the significance of this championship.

Hearing this, the smile on Si Cong's face became even brighter. "With what you said, Old Su, I believe those bastards will definitely work harder."

He knew that Su Chen was not short of money and was very generous. The bonus he mentioned personally was definitely not tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. It must be at least a million to match his status.

When I go back and tell them about it, they will all cry out in anger.

The topic quickly shifted from the league game to the giant grouper caught by Su Chen, and everyone boasted that they would definitely be able to catch a bigger one.

Qin Fen, in particular, arranged a flight to the San Francisco Bay Area tomorrow just to catch a giant grouper.

Su Chen was not at all surprised by such behavior, as if this was how things should be.

At noon, Sicong specially arranged a whole beef banquet, saying that a top-quality Wagyu beef was airlifted directly from Australia, and the ingredients were quite fresh.

"By the way, didn't you think the beef from Northeast China was pretty good before? How is it going now?" Su Chen asked after swallowing a piece of A5 grade veal steak.

"It has been incorporated into the catering system of Yangcun, and we have also set up several ranches in the northeast to raise local Angus cattle to ensure the supply of Yangcun."

Speaking of ranches, Su Chen thought of the 30,000 acres of farmland on the shores of Lake Baikal in Siberia that he had previously acquired. He didn't know what the situation was now.

After dinner, Sicong and others suggested going to the Bund to sit, drink afternoon tea and chat. Su Chen had nothing to do, so he nodded and agreed.

As soon as Mr. Huang walked out, Chen He called Su Chen.

"He~Is there something wrong?" Su Chen asked Chen He, who looked mysterious.

Chen He glanced at Si Cong and the others who were leaning against the car and watching them, and whispered to Su Chen: "Mr. Su, after the incident on Zheng Island, people have been looking for me every now and then to ask when you are free. I want to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."

As he spoke, Chen He took out a rather delicate card from his pocket and handed it to Su Chen with both hands.

"Someone else?" Su Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard that. He took the card and saw the name and phone number on it. He immediately realized that the "someone" Chen He was talking about was Reba, whom he had met once.

"Let's talk about dinner and other things when we have time later!" After saying that, Su Chen thought about it and put the card into his pocket, then quickly walked towards his car.

These words confused Chen He, as if they were a rejection, but Su Chen also put away the card with Reba's phone number, which made him a little confused.

Chen He, who was confused, shrugged his shoulders. Anyway, he had already conveyed what Reba asked him to convey. As for whether to keep the appointment or not, it was not his business.

There were not many people on the Bund during the day in April. Su Chen and his friends chose a rooftop open-air cafe with a good location and quietness, from which they could see the entire Bund and the Huangpu River.

Si Cong took a sip of coffee, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked casually: "Lao Su, why did you go to the Bay Area before? You shouldn't be someone like Qin Fen who runs around everywhere with nothing to do!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Fen and the other two who were admiring the scenery of the Bund all looked towards Su Chen vaguely.

Su Chen also took in all the little movements of the crowd and said with a smile, "Everyone's ears are standing up high, and the one with crooked eyes, aren't you afraid of cross-eyedness?"

"If you want to know, turn around. Don't act like a fake Karma."

The three people who were exposed did not feel embarrassed at all. They turned around and looked at Su Chen curiously, wanting to know what he was doing in the Bay Area.

"It's not a big deal. I just invested in a company before and it developed some new technology, which happened to be noticed by two consortiums. This time I went to the Bay Area to discuss this matter." Su Chen said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

new technology?
Two consortiums?

The news revealed by this simple sentence shocked them greatly.

Not to mention the new technology, Su Chen did not reveal what specific technology it was, so they naturally did not know how valuable it was, but the two consortiums mentioned by Su Chen were enough for them to digest for a while.

Those who can be called a consortium are not unknown persons. You should know that consortium is the abbreviation of financial capital group, which is a monopoly group formed by the integration of huge banks and huge enterprises controlled by a very small number of financial oligarchs.

Usually these consortiums are composed of one or even several families, which means that only those who control assets of at least one trillion US dollars are qualified to be called a consortium.

Everyone stared at Su Chen blankly. How come the people they had to deal with after not seeing him for a while turned out to be from those conglomerates?

Chen He, who didn't know much about this, said weakly, "Young Master Su, can I ask which two financial groups they are?"

Not only Chen He was curious, but even Sicong and the other two were curious about the origins of these two conglomerates.

"It's no secret. The two financial groups are Morgan and Black Rock Foundation!"

After these words were spoken, Sicong and the others were no longer just stunned, they were completely bewildered.

"Momorgan? Black Rock?" Sicong repeated with some stammering. He could hardly believe his ears, mainly because the origins of these two consortiums were too shocking.

They can be said to be two of the top financial groups in the world. With their strength, they are enough to influence the economic development of some small and medium-sized countries. They are truly rich enough to rival a country.

Take the well-known financial tycoon George Soros for example. More than a decade ago, the strength of his foundation alone turned the Asian financial market upside down.

This financial tycoon is nothing more than a younger brother in front of the two top financial groups, Morgan and Black Rock Foundation.

It took a long time for everyone to come back to their senses. They all looked at Su Chen with complicated expressions, especially Si Cong, who moved his chair closer to Su Chen again and again, almost touching him.

"Mr. Su, Brother Su, remember to bring me along for big occasions like this in the future!" Sicong said with a pleading tone, pulling Su Chen's arm.

Seeing Sicong's appearance, Qin Fen on the side was also eager to try.

"Get out of here! Can you be serious? People who don't know might think I did something to you. Move the chair back!" Su Chen slapped the hand off his arm in annoyance.

Dealing with those top financial groups is not a good thing. If you want to get to know them one by one, you will get yourself involved and then you won't even have a place to cry.

"Let's talk about something serious!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Sicong and the others sat up straighter, and even the playful smiles on their faces disappeared.

Su Chen's eyes swept across everyone's faces one by one, and then he slowly said: "If you have the opportunity to deal with certain financial groups in the future, I advise you to be more careful, so as not to be calculated by others and still happily help them count money."

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised. For Su Chen to say this, he must have experienced something in Bald Eagle, otherwise he would not have such advice.

"Gu~ Lao Su, I am now more and more curious about how big your deal is this time!"

Si Cong was indeed the one who had seen the most of the world among the group, and he quickly recovered from his shock.

Hearing this question, Qin Fen and others came back to their senses and looked at Su Chen.

"I didn't make much, just a little money!" This matter was not a secret, Su Chen stretched out his hand and opened it frankly.

"Five hundred million US dollars?!" everyone exclaimed in unison. Is this considered a small amount of money?
They all knew that if it was only 50 million US dollars, there would be no need for Su Chen to step in personally and just arrange for his subordinates to make the connection.

Only a huge sum of money like 500 million US dollars could make Su Chen take personal action.

Of course, all this is just their imagination.

When they saw Su Chen shaking his head slightly, Sicong and others opened their mouths wide and looked at Su Chen infatuatedly.

"Lao Su, you're not talking about 5 billion US dollars, are you?"

Sicong gasped heavily and even taking a dozen deep breaths did not calm his trembling heart. The main reason was that the information was too shocking.

According to the current exchange rate, 5 billion US dollars is equivalent to more than 30 billion Chinese yuan.

Just thinking about it, I can’t even imagine how much money this is.

Chen He was also calculating in his mind that he could currently earn tens of millions a year in the entertainment industry, which would be rounded to 100 million US dollars. If he wanted to earn 5 billion US dollars, he would have to work hard for more than 300 years to earn that much money.

Qin Fen: It’s okay, it’s okay. All my family’s assets combined are not as high as this. I’m not jealous. I’m not jealous at all.

Hou Ting: Just lie down. You will never make so much money in your lifetime.

"Well, that's 5 billion US dollars. Excluding the share of another shareholder, I have almost 4 billion US dollars!"

After getting Su Chen's affirmative answer, everyone leaned back in their chairs weakly.

Which good person can make 4 billion US dollars by investing easily? Why can't I get such a good thing?
The afternoon coffee became less and less interesting as everyone drank it, and they all suggested that Su Chen arrange a nice meal in the evening.

Su Chen did not refuse this. Even if he let the four of them eat freely, how much money could they spend?

Unfortunately, Su Chen came to this conclusion too early. In the evening, Su Chen and his friends found a top-notch restaurant on the Bund.

Sicong and others were also not polite at all. They ordered whatever dishes were expensive. They were not afraid of not being able to finish the dishes, but they were afraid of not ordering enough.

He ordered all kinds of expensive liquors as if they were free, box by box. He drank a bottle of wine worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and it tasted like beer worth a few dollars.

When paying the bill, Su Chen was a little dumbfounded. He spent nearly three million!

That’s right, it’s nearly three million!

The biggest expense was naturally the drinks, which amounted to more than two million yuan, but the dishes did not cost much.

Si Cong and the others were all happy after drinking. Even Su Chen was a little confused after drinking.

When we went back, we each arranged someone to pick us up.

Even Su Chen was no exception. It was Jiang Hui who drove him back.
