I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

Chapter 332: Chapter 332: Building Chu Chen’s Luxury Empire

The hidden boss behind Aman Shanghai, the owner of the International Financial Center, the president of Prada, the second-largest shareholder of Ferrari...

He still clearly remembered the identity of that super big shot!

Any one of these identities would be way out of his league.

But what he never expected was to run into him today!

And he almost caused a major disaster.

"Haven’t you connected the call with your chairman yet?"

A faint voice came through.

Hearing this, Xu Lezhen was just about to retort when Lu Zhize spoke up,

"Take the phone over, I want to have a word with that gentleman."

"Have a word?"

Xu Lezhen was a bit surprised.

"Alright."

Originally, Xu Lezhen wanted to say something, but seeing the serious expression on Lu Zhize’s face, she didn’t dare oppose him.

Xu Lezhen had no choice but to respectfully take the phone over.

"Hello, Mr. Chu, I am the chairman of Haiguang Media Group, Lu Zhize."

Lu Zhize introduced himself proactively.

"Mr. Lu, your price is somewhat excessive."

Chu Chen said.

Having met many big shots, Chu Chen didn’t have any particular impression of Lu Zhize.

"Excessive?"

"Our price is not excessive at all!"

Lu Zhize hadn’t spoken yet, but Xu Lezhen directly retorted.

Because Lu Zhize had affirmed her earlier, Xu Lezhen naturally wasn’t afraid of Chu Chen.

What’s the big deal about being the president of a small company?

"If that’s the case, we have nothing to talk about."

"If we don’t talk, then..."

Xu Lezhen still wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by Lu Zhize.

"I think Mr. Chu is absolutely right!"

"Our price is indeed too excessive!"

Lu Zhize suddenly said loudly, with a look of regret on his face.

"Huh?"

Stunned by Lu Zhize’s 180-degree turn, Xu Lezhen looked at Lu Zhize in surprise.

What’s going on?

"Eighty thousand should be enough."

Chu Chen had just heard Mo Yuwan’s words, and eighty thousand seemed like a more appropriate price.

"Eighty thousand, no, that’s still too much."

"There’s no need for that much, eighty thousand is enough."

Lu Zhize responded.

Actually, he wanted to say it should be free, but if he did that, it would seem too deliberate, so he symbolically asked for eighty thousand.

"Eighty thousand?"

Beside him, Xu Lezhen was completely dumbfounded.

Eighty thousand, don’t even talk about profit, that’s definitely a loss, and a significant one.

"Mr. Lu, are you sure you didn’t misspeak?"

Xu Lezhen asked.

"Of course, I didn’t misspeak, I think this gentleman is absolutely right."

Lu Zhize looked quite natural.

How could this be?

Is this the stingy, profit-driven Lu Zhize she knew?

Xu Lezhen had a million questions in her mind.

"Hurry up and sign the contract."

Lu Zhize urged.

If he could get this contract signed, he might be able to win some favor with this super big shot.

"Mr. Chu is so handsome, time must be tight; don’t waste Mr. Chu’s precious time."

Lu Zhize spoke again, flattering Chu Chen.

In the end, Haiguang Media Group signed the contract with Chu Chen for a price of eighty thousand.

Under Lu Zhize’s urging, after signing the contract, Xu Lezhen hurriedly left.

Lu Zhize was afraid this foolish woman, Xu Lezhen, might offend Chu Chen again.

...

After Xu Lezhen left, Chu Chen suddenly said to Mo Yuwan,

"Once this company is set up, you don’t have to continue being the general manager here."

No longer being the general manager here?

Taken aback by Chu Chen’s sudden words, Mo Yuwan was utterly confused.

Had she done something wrong?

Having gone through so much, especially living together during this period, Mo Yuwan found herself unconsciously liking Chu Chen.

She cared very much about Chu Chen’s attitude.

Now, hearing Chu Chen say this, Mo Yuwan felt somewhat wronged.

"Don’t overthink it."

Noticing Mo Yuwan’s odd reaction, Chu Chen quickly explained,

"You haven’t done anything wrong."

"It’s just that I think managing such a small company is a bit beneath your talents."

Mo Yuwan’s abilities went without saying; whether it was the asset company based in Hang City before or the Junlin Group, both were thriving and doing well.

If she continued to manage this small company, it would be a complete waste of her talent.

"You should manage the Prada Group."

Chu Chen suggested.

Chu Chen certainly had immense trust in Mo Yuwan.

Moreover, over time, the relationship between Chu Chen and Mo Yuwan had become somewhat intriguing.

Prada now was a company with significant potential in Chu Chen’s hands.

Once a world-renowned luxury brand, Prada was as prominent as LV, Hermès, Dior, and Armani.

But now, Prada seemed to have fallen behind these brands.

At its peak, Prada’s market value was two to three hundred billion.

But due to internal conflicts and various complex reasons, Prada’s market value had plummeted time and again, now down to only five or six hundred billion.

It was at its lowest point.

However, being a world-class fashion brand, Prada still had endless potential.

If it could return to its peak, Chu Chen’s net worth would see a massive surge.

Although being Prada’s primary shareholder and president, Chu Chen needed to accomplish various system tasks, leaving him no time to address Prada’s issues.

So Chu Chen wanted to send Mo Yuwan to completely overhaul Prada and bring it back to its peak.

And Chu Chen’s ambitions didn’t stop there.

Chu Chen planned to use Prada as a starting point to ultimately build his own luxury goods empire.

If successful, Chu Chen wouldn’t be far from becoming the world’s richest person.

"Heading to Prada as general manager?"

Hearing this, Mo Yuwan was extremely excited.

She understood Chu Chen’s deep intentions and knew how much he trusted her.

"Alright, I will do my utmost to bring Prada back to its peak."

Mo Yuwan promised Chu Chen.

Because of her background, Mo Yuwan had some understanding of various luxury brands and naturally knew Prada’s current awkward standing.

That day, Chu Chen took Mo Yuwan to the Prada Greater China Division.

Chu Chen announced plans to move Prada’s western headquarters to Shanghai.

Although some other shareholders had opinions, because of Chu Chen’s status as the primary shareholder, they eventually agreed.

Moving the headquarters was quite troublesome, requiring a long time.

So, for now, Mo Yuwan worked at the Prada Greater China Division, handling various matters.

That evening, Chu Chen unexpectedly received a call from Mo Yuwan’s father, Mo Aoqun.
