Chapter 683: Each Man has his own Aspiration
Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi
Meeting with VIPs, delivering speeches, coping with the compliments of the businessmen and celebrities, and being the host of the party; there were many things Jiang Chen must attend to.
Despite it being busy, he didn’t feel irritated at all.
Why?
Of course because…
“Mr. Jiang Chen, allow me to introduce, this is my daughter Daisy. She has loved your culture from a very young age and views you as an idol. When she heard you were having a party, she begged me to bring her along.” A Silicon Valley new energy automotive company president was keenly introducing his daughter.
“Mr. Jiang Chen, this is my business card. If you are interested in venture capital, please be sure to contact us, the Chicago Venture Company!”
“I am the CEO of London Urban Construction Company. I heard that graphene can be used in the construction field. Is Mr. Jiang Chen interested? Here is my business card. We can invest together!”
At this time, a blonde wearing a low-cut long dress with a gorgeous figure walked toward Jiang Chen. She leaned the champagne in her hand forward slightly and the bright red lip gloss reflected a seductive glow.
“You can call me Scarlett, Mr. Jiang Chen. If you’ve seen The Avengers, you must have heard of my name.”
Scarlett’s debut attracted a wave of whistles. The dream lover of countless men, dressed abnormally eye-catching today. In particular, the whiteness in front of her chest really made people think sensually.
“Of course I have heard of Miss Johansson.” Jiang Chen smiled and toasted with her.
He certainly has heard the name, after all, she is the famous Black Widow. Not only have I heard your name, I have also seen your scandalous pictures…. Of course, Jiang Chen could think of the devilish words in his head.
“You can call me Scarlett.” Scarlett looked seductively at Jiang Chen while taking sips of the champagne.
Because of the large number of guests, Jiang Chen didn’t talk to the Hollywood Star for a long time. By procedure, Jiang Chen handed her a business card. After receiving his business card, Scarlett also gave out her own gift –
An autograph sealed with a kiss.
The back of the paper was written with the number 1071. Jiang Chen took a long time to realize that it was her room number at the Hot Spring Island Hotel?!
What could the number on the back mean? The seduction is too obvious!
Should he go or not?
…
Five hours passed and Jiang Chen finally met with all the guests. In the cabin near the beach, he managed to find Robert and Nick. He enthusiastically dragged the two to the small bar by the beach, opened three bottles of champagne and drank with them while reminiscing the old times.
When Jiang Chen saw Robert, he almost couldn’t recognize him.
Since last year’s arms deal in South Africa, the two had not seen each other again. Compared to the original shrewd and capable appearance, he became chubbier. It was evident that his life in Hollywood has been great.
The arms business was profitable, but the days as an arms merchant was not good.
They not only brought death to war-torn areas, but walked on the knife’s edge.
Therefore, after being warned by the FBA, Robert decided to exit the business.
Counting the money he made from Jiang Chen, he had over 100 million US dollar in assets. Although he wasn’t in a great financial situation in the start with his overspending habit, the surprise hot box office in the movie he invested along with the last batch of arms being sold to Jiang Chen made him return to the life of a king.
With money, he naturally didn’t want to venture out anymore, and naturally he gained some weight.
“Burp, sh*t, I sometimes feel like the world is too unfair. We are both rich, why did you not put on any weight, but I’m as fat as a pig now.” Robert poured a cup for himself, shook his head, and sighed.
“That’s an exaggeration.” Jiang Chen laughed.
“You know me, buddy.”
“I mean, you are as fat as a bear now.”
“Sh*t!” Robert gave him the middle-finger while laughing.
Nick was quiet as usual. The Slavic man just drank without participating much in the conversation.
After several rounds, the topic changed from their life to the party.
“Did you sense the passion from the Hollywood Superstars?” Robert had on a smirk.
“Of course… but I don’t understand why. I mean, I think they are overzealous?”
“Because I released information on a paparazzi newspaper that the famous Hollywood director Christopher Nolan will shoot a documentary for the world’s richest man. Future Group may enter Hollywood.”
[That’s why so many male celebrities wanted to take photos with me. That’s why so many females stars were flirting with me. It was Robert after all!]
“That’s fake news right?” Jiang Chen faceplamed.
Future Group currently has no plan to enter Hollywood, at least for now.
“I want to refer this as building up the hype.” Robert exposed his teeth, but the smile still resembled a profiteer, “I took a year of time to figure out the inside-out of Hollywood. As long you use the media properly, even the worst film can have a one hundred million box office.”
“You’re a genius. You’re not realizing your potential by retiring too late.” Jiang Chen said this heartfelt message.
Robert shook his head, he took another sip of champagne and began to grin.
“I spent thirty years making money I won’t be able to spend in a life time, this is my value… This is some pretty good booze, where is it produced?”
“Rothschild’s gift.”
“Damn, I thought from the start you wouldn’t be selling gold for your entire life, but I didn’t expect to be so close with Rothschild already.”
“Haha, that’s an exaggeration, we are just normal friends in the business world. On an other note, are you really not planning to un-retire? I still plan to go into the arms business.”
Robert burped and shook his hand, “Nope, I already made enough money and I don’t want to suffer anymore. If I don’t enjoy the money now, am I going to be doing philanthropy when I’m older?”
“I see…” Jiang Chen felt it was a pity, but he accepted what Robert said.
People have their own dreams and ambitions.
“You should really enjoy your life now with money. We only really live in these thirty years. Investment in movies, sleeping with the Hollywood girls, play golf, sunbath on the beach… It is a waste to not enjoy it and just work. You have more money than me. You should know how to enjoy better than me.” Robert full of alcohol patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder and “educated” him.
While his expression looked stern, Jiang Chen knew too well. When the not serious people become serious when drinking, that either means they are really drunk, or their words are from the bottom of their hearts.
But to be honest, his proposal was really attractive.
Especially to Jiang Chen.
“Thank you.”
“No problem!”
