Chapter 214: A Global Layout
"Xiao Mo, I think it's better for us to be more cautious. The wealthy individuals in Hua Country are only so many, and the customer base of Tomson Yipin is limited. Moreover, top-tier properties of the same quality are now emerging in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, and the appeal of Tomson Yipin is gradually declining.
Actually, for many years, the sales situation of Tomson Yipin has not been ideal, and there have been hardly any transactions in the secondary market. Many houses, priced over a hundred million or even two to three hundred million, simply can't be sold through agents and can only be resold by the owners to their friends or friends of friends.
Over a decade, only a small portion of Tomson Yipin's houses has been sold, with a large half still on the market. Currently, the client who owns the most has only purchased eight units at Tomson Yipin. I know you're not short of money, but there are still around a hundred units left, requiring at least a hundred billion in funds.
Taking down so many houses in one go would probably cause a sensation in Magic City, and we wouldn't want to create any adverse effects..."
Yang Xuan pulled Chu Mo into a reception room, closed the door behind them with the back of her hand, and then began to earnestly and kindly dissuade him.
She knew Chu Mo was not lacking in funds. For the creation of the Longevity Club alone, the initial investment had exceeded forty billion, and during that period, every item was of the world's top quality. Recently, Chu Mo had transferred to her a whole ten billion to maintain the development of the Longevity Club.
Yang Xuan didn't know exactly how much money Chu Mo had, but judging solely from the financial display of the Longevity Club, it must be an asset worth at least several hundred billion. Hence, she was genuinely afraid Chu Mo might impulsively buy up all of Tomson Yipin.
Chu Mo softly took a seat on the plush sofa of the reception room, gently massaged his forehead, and fell into deep thought for a moment.
No one in the world could truly understand him, not even Yang Xuan sitting across from him. Her vision was still limited to the level of ordinary tycoons.
For the common billionaire or even hundred-billionaire, spending one or several billion on luxury homes and yachts is a trivial matter. But asking them to shell out a hundred billion all at once to buy all the remaining units of Tomson Yipin would be a brainless move.
A hundred billion in liquid funds could completely ruin a tycoon worth a hundred billion. Even for the wealthiest person in Hua Country, Zhang Dahua, with a net worth of two hundred and eighty billion, forcing him to invest a hundred billion into Tomson Yipin, which might take ages to sell, would certainly impact his businesses and strategic layout.

One misstep could potentially mire him in a quagmire.
If this could happen to the wealthiest person like Zhang Dahua, for the common tycoon, it would be an option that's akin to seeking death.
That's why Yang Xuan was advising him not to be impulsive.
But what she didn't know was, a hundred billion, for him, meant simply typing a 1 followed by ten 0s on the unlimited bank card—just that simple.
He wouldn't face the risk of cash flow problems, nor the possibility of bank debt. The unlimited bank card was his greatest security and the card up his sleeve that set him apart from all the other tycoons in the world.
So... this was destined, no one in the world could truly understand him!
In the reception room, Chu Mo breathed gently, his eyes carrying a hint of contemplation.
There are still over a hundred units left in Tomson Yipin. Originally, Chu Mo thought that even if he had to spend a hundred billion, acquiring all the units here was just a matter of minutes for him. Whether it's the restrictions on property purchases or various tedious formalities, his legal team and the main person in charge at Tomson Yipin would get everything sorted.
He just had to complete the transfer; he wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
However, he couldn't simply act on every whim without considering the feelings of others.
Firstly, he came to buy a house in Tomson Yipin mainly to make Yang Xuan happy. As for pleasing the future mother-in-law, essentially, it was still to bring joy to Yang Xuan. Since the idea of buying up all of Tomson Yipin would worry Yang Xuan, there was no need to do so at all costs.
After all, Hua Country wasn't limited to just a single Tomson Yipin. Equally prestigious properties include Shenzhen Bay No. 1, Nanning Triumph No. 1, Capital City Evergrande Lijing, Sunac · Suzhou Taohuayuan, and so on.
Furthermore, Hua Country is not limited to just one Capital City. With the four first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, as well as the fifteen new first-tier cities including Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Wuhan, Xi'an, Suzhou, Tianjin, and so on, as well as second-tier and even third-tier cities, hoarding a dozen or twenty top luxury houses in each city...
Even on a global scale, one could buy several of France's top ten private vineyards, the Empire State Building in the US, or even Edinburgh Castle in Britain...
As long as I'm willing to spend money and make more connections with top families like the Rothschilds, there's actually so much more I could do.
Quickly changing his train of thought, Chu Mo no longer fixated on acquiring the entire Tomson Yipin complex.
He nodded slightly, then said with full seriousness,
"Don't worry, I was just saying that off the top of my head. Since you don't like making such a big fuss, let's keep a low profile. Right, give me your ID card later, and I'll have the lawyer register this 1,206 square meter duplex under your name."
As Chu Mo's words fell, Yang Xuan let out a small sigh of relief. Seeing that Chu Mo appeared normal, she took the initiative to approach, draping her arm over Chu Mo's, and said with a smile on her face,
"If you really want to buy property, a few units at Tomson Yipin should suffice. You could also consider other properties, like the vintage townhouses in Capital City which are great for collecting!"
Chu Mo smiled and nodded. Having broadened his perspective, his thoughts were no longer confined to the little Capital City, but were now on a worldwide scale.
Naturally, whether it be Tomson Yipin or vintage townhouses, compared to the Empire State Building in America, Edinburgh Castle, or the world's top vineyards worth tens of billions, they were not in the same league.
The two left the study, and the saleswoman holding Chu Mo's Centurion Black Gold Card immediately came up with a flushed face.
Having originally had no expectations—since she didn't believe that someone who arrived in a Buick like Chu Mo's group would actually buy a house—her attitude was somewhat indifferent. But now, realizing Chu Mo's intention and ability to purchase, the employee who had been new to Tomson Yipin for just half a month was truly excited.
"Mr. Chu, it seems your wife and family really like this house. If you're satisfied, shall we make it official now?"
In the attentive presence of the saleswoman, Chu Mo paused. He nodded slightly and said solemnly,
"We'll confirm the purchase of this 1,206 square meter house. Also, prepare nine of the largest units for me. Including this one, that'll make ten in total. Let's finalize them today."
As Chu Mo finished speaking, a woman who was enjoying the view from the balcony suddenly turned her head to look this way. The woman, also surnamed Chu and dressed in a pomegranate dress, tilted her head slightly, curved up the corners of her mouth, and then strolled over!
The exquisitely beautiful woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, walked up to Chu Mo and stopped. First, she sized up Yang Xuan beside Chu Mo, her gaze deliberately lingering on the gemstone necklace around Yang Xuan's neck for a moment.
Once she confirmed that the necklace was indeed the 450-million-valued Heart of the Ocean, her eyes sparked with a touch of brilliance as she turned her attention to Chu Mo. She extended her delicate, pale hand and said sweetly,
"My name is Chu Weier. You share the surname Chu as well? It seems we are destined to meet!"
Chu Mo glanced over her, and despite her being equally stunning with a beauty that scored over ninety-five points, he simply nodded and didn't take her offered hand.
Instead, he disregarded her friendly gesture, and with a look of approval from the middle-aged woman behind him, Chu Mo gently took Yang Xuan by the waist, ignoring the advances of the pomegranate dress-wearing woman, and turned to walk toward the grand hall.
With his mother-in-law watching close by, although Chu Mo indeed felt some stirrings, he did not dare to misbehave under the vigilant gaze of his mother-in-law.
