NOVPUBChapter 897: Chapter 593 Adoration from the Princess_2 Chapter 897 -593 Adoration from the Princess_2 At this moment, she dared not disturb the young man鈥檚 thoughts in front of her, fearing that any carelessness on her part would interrupt the transaction of the world鈥檚 second-greatest luxury good.
This time, Chu Mo did not have to wait too long.
If the other party still demanded an SSS-tier membership, Chu Mo would refuse no matter what, as the SSS-tier membership was prepared for his own heir, which was not for sale.
As for the SS-tier membership, although its privileges were still immense, it was within an acceptable range.
Additionally, the SS-tier membership was originally prepared for the Rothschild family, and now, it just entailed adding another godfather of luxury goods, which wasn鈥檛 too outrageous.
What was most important was that the price offered by the other party truly tempted Chu Mo.
Originally, for an Herm脙篓s priced above two hundred and fifty billion, he could acquire it for just two hundred billion; on top of that, a ten percent share in Patek Philippe was worth a full forty billion.
...
Factoring in the collaboration with ten top luxury brands, Chu Mo might save an entire one hundred billion on this transaction.
With a saving of one hundred billion to buy a Club SS-tier membership, Chu Mo would be at odds with himself if he did not agree.
However, upon seeing the eager expression of Edward at his side, Chu Mo suddenly felt he might be able to negotiate a bit more.
After brief contemplation and with a grave expression, Chu Mo began to speak slowly:
鈥淢r.
Edward, aside from Herm脙篓s and Patek Philippe, you have another fourteen top-tier luxury brands, as well as thirty-six first-line luxury brands, correct?
As I鈥檝e previously stated, only one A-tier membership of the club is sold each year, and you can鈥檛 purchase those above A-tier with money.
潡堭潣凁潟橉潡?co
If I make an exception for you, Mr.
Edward, there might be quite a bit of trouble in the future.
However, since you are so sincere, how about this: the original terms stay the same, and I will also purchase the entire Chanel brand for an additional two hundred billion.
If Mr.
Edward agrees, the single SS-tier membership of the Longevity Club will be yours.鈥
Another two hundred billion.
As Chu Mo鈥檚 indifferent words fell, Edward beside him immediately fell into silence.
Chanel ranked fourth in the world of luxury goods, only two places behind Herm脙篓s, and Chanel鈥檚 market value was around one hundred and seventy billion.
Chu Mo鈥檚 direct offer of two hundred billion was an overpayment of thirty billion.
However, top-tier luxury goods couldn鈥檛 be traded easily.
Edward was known as the godfather of luxury goods precisely because of the sixteen top-tier luxury brands he owned.
If he were to trade these brands away so easily, he would be left with only the title of godfather.
On the other hand, if he gave up now, Edward would not be content to do so.
Edward鈥檚 health condition had reached its final stage.
Diagnosed with cancer five years ago, as a top-tier billionaire, he used all possible means to pull through for five years, but he knew he was at his limit.
Without any better medical methods, he would likely not make it to this Christmas.
On one side was the family business he had worked hard to build all his life, and on the other was his already limited lifespan.
If he failed to acquire a high-tier membership of the Longevity Club, he would not have the chance to use the Longevity Pill No.
2, which was all his hope.
If even the Longevity Pill No.
2 had no effect, then there was nothing else in this world that could save him.
So at this moment, Edward was struggling to decide which was more important, his life or the family business he had worked so hard to earn.
As Edward agonized over this dilemma, Princess Sophie, still holding her glass of wine behind him, quietly swallowed.
Initially, she had thought that coming to the Longevity Club with a wealth of thirty-five million would surely allow her to achieve her goal.
But now, witnessing these top players making transactions worth hundreds of billions without a second thought, deciding the fate of two top-tier luxury brands worth billions, she was still shockingly moved at heart.
Even as Princess Sophie, even though she grew up in opulence and was accustomed to countless grand events, she still felt breathless at this moment.
One Herm脙篓s had already quickened her heartbeat, and now, with the addition of Chanel, Sophie was finding it hard to breathe and felt like she was about to lose her footing.
If only she could own luxury brands like Chanel and Herm脙篓s鈥
Sophie quickly shook her head, casting aside the wild thoughts that had crept into her mind.
She knew that it wasn鈥檛 just beyond her reach; even if she sold her entire royal family, she couldn鈥檛 afford a single Herm脙篓s.
Sophie鈥檚 grip on her wineglass tightened subconsciously as she held her breath in concentration, her blue eyes not blinking even once as she stared intently at the white-haired old man in front of her.
Her wait wasn鈥檛 long; after a few deep breaths, the patriarch of luxury goods had made his choice.
Between his life and his empire, he ultimately chose the former.
鈥淢r.
Chu, I will send my legal team to Hua Country tomorrow.
The handover work might be quite cumbersome, so I鈥檒l just need Mr.
Chu鈥檚 cooperation at that time!鈥
As the old man finished speaking, the atmosphere around the dinner table turned even more solemn.
With a handshake between Chu Mo and Edward, young and old, it signified that the world鈥檚 second and fourth ranked luxury brands, Herm脙篓s and Chanel, were changing hands today.
At the same time, a deal totaling five hundred billion was finalized under everyone鈥檚 watchful eyes.
And five hundred billion was an achievement most of the top-tier tycoons present could not hope to attain; at least more than half of them couldn鈥檛 come up with that amount even if they liquidated everything they owned.
Likewise, when the news was released that the cosmetics company People鈥檚 Makeup from Hua Country had acquired Herm脙篓s and Chanel, the entire cosmetics industry worldwide would have to reshuffle.
By then, People鈥檚 Makeup might become the world鈥檚 largest luxury goods company, towering over all with a market value of five hundred and fifty billion.
Chu Mo and Edward exchanged a light handshake and then jovially made their decisions; even Princess Mina with a wealth of a trillion could only gasp in astonishment.
However, for the undisturbed Chu Mo and Edward themselves, it seemed all too lax.
Chu Mo was unfazed because he had an unlimited bank card; four hundred billion in funds could be swiped out in minutes without feeling a pinch.
Whereas Edward had already seen through the frivolity of worldly things; at eighty years old and with a broad-minded perspective, nothing in the world could attract him anymore except for longevity; he had long become indifferent to money and power.
Moreover, even though he was selling off two top luxury brands, he still owned fourteen others, and the four hundred billion in funds could do much芒鈧€漵hould he wish, as the godfather of luxury brands, he could cultivate two, or even three to five top luxury brands within the next decade.
Of course, that was provided he lived that long.
Thus, for Chu Mo and Edward themselves, the matter was taken lightly, while the other top magnates nearby were full of emotion; even Rothschild, head of the Ross family with a fortune worth fifty trillion watched intently as a five hundred billion deal was concluded before his eyes and was filled with many reflections.
After Chu Mo and Edward lightly clinked glasses, a meek voice suddenly rose beside them.
Chu Mo turned his head, only then noticing a tall and exquisite blonde woman standing behind him.
Once he confirmed that she was Princess Sophie from Danmai, a smile graced Chu Mo鈥檚 originally impassive face as he gently spoke:
鈥淵our Highness, how may I be of service to you?鈥
With thirty-five million in assets and brimming with confidence moments ago, Sophie no longer held any self-assurance after witnessing a transaction in the hundreds of billions.
She immediately shed her royal pride and complacency, instead approaching humbly and saying:
鈥淢r.
Chu, hello, I am here on behalf of my father, Brandon.
Father has instructed me to extend his greetings to Mr.
Chu.鈥
Standing over one meter seventy-seven, with a graceful figure and striking facial features, Sophie spoke in a sweet, melodious voice.
She no longer mentioned the Longevity Pill, but looked at Chu Mo with a face full of admiration and curiosity.
