NOVPUBChapter 899: Chapter 594: Sophie鈥檚 Misunderstanding_2 Chapter 899 -594: Sophie鈥檚 Misunderstanding_2 Seeing Sophie鈥檚 predicament, Chu Mo didn鈥檛 want to prolong the awkwardness, so he straightforwardly said,
鈥淭he price of eight hundred million is only the auction price, it won鈥檛 normally be that expensive.
How about this, I鈥檒l give it to you at the normal price, a number one Longevity Pill, and I鈥檒l only charge you three hundred million.鈥
Chu Mo nonchalantly shaved off five hundred million, but upon hearing this, Sophie鈥檚 eyes lit up at first.
However, after a moment, a hint of shyness appeared on her stunning face.
Under Chu Mo鈥檚 gaze, and after hesitating for a moment, Sophie cautiously said,
鈥淭hank you, Mr.
Chu, for your kindness, but I still can鈥檛 afford three hundred million.
I only brought thirty-five million with me this time鈥?鈥
Thirty-five million, not to mention eight hundred million, was still many times short of the price Chu Mo had offered.
This price didn鈥檛 even cover Chu Mo鈥檚 R&D costs.
...
Of course, if it were anyone else, Chu Mo would have dismissed them with a wave of his hand.
As a member of the Longevity Club, couldn鈥檛 even come up with three hundred million and wanted to take away a Longevity Pill for thirty-five million?
That was a pipe dream.
潡堭潣凁潟橉潡?co
However, considering the identity of the woman before him as the Denmark princess, Chu Mo had to treat the matter with caution.
Chu Mo鈥檚 cooperation with the Denmark Royal Family was still ongoing.
For Qing Guo and Qing Cheng, these two sisters, he had already invested upwards of three to four hundred billion.
If this fact led to a conflict with the Denmark Royal Family and they decided to sell out Qing Guo and Qing Cheng, then Chu Mo鈥檚 initial investment would be lost, and even Yang Duoer could become entangled.
This could potentially expose Yang Duoer鈥檚 plan to control the eight major families.
Should it really come to that, even if Chu Mo sought retribution afterward, it would still result in a lose-lose situation.
And this was a situation Chu Mo definitely did not want to see.
At present, Yang Duoer鈥檚 plans still had a lot of viability.
At the very least, within the eight major families, including the Yang family鈥檚 second son, Yang Jianguo, three families鈥 heirs were already besotted with Qing Guo and Qing Cheng.
If Yang Duoer鈥檚 plans went smoothly, Chu Mo could gain control over the eight major families of Hua Country in the future.
That would be a colossus with assets exceeding ten trillion, not much less than luxury goods godfather Edward鈥檚 wealth.
Moreover, Chu Mo had a vague premonition in his heart.
His current net worth wasn鈥檛 enough to shake those world-class families, so they had always ignored him without attempting any suppression.
After all, Chu Mo鈥檚 main base was still in Hua Country, and the majority of his maneuvers were within its borders.
As he hadn鈥檛 threatened the interests of those top-tier global families, they naturally wouldn鈥檛 intervene.
However, as Chu Mo pacified the eight major families of Hua Country, once his assets reached the ten trillion mark, whether he liked it or not, he would threaten the interests of those top families.
And at that time, people like luxury goods godfather Edward, and even the Ross family, might take action to suppress him.
After all, when there are no conflicts of interest, everyone is a good friend.
But once it affects one鈥檚 own interests, even real brothers can fight until they鈥檙e bloodied.
Chu Mo couldn鈥檛 possibly hope others would mercifully spare him.
By then, if he had fully consolidated the power of the eight major families, even facing suppression from families like the Ross, he would not be without the means to fight back.
Therefore, from this perspective, Yang Duoer鈥檚 plan must continue and must also succeed.
And this required strong cooperation from the Denmark Royal Family.
Chu Mo had already invested three to four hundred billion in Qing Guo and Qing Cheng.
Now, he was even less likely to fall out with the Denmark Royal Family over a simple Longevity Pill.
Even to foster resentment was not permissible.
So, after pondering for a moment, Chu Mo decided to offer the Denmark Royal Family a generous gift.
鈥淭hen let鈥檚 make it thirty-five million, the number one Longevity Pill will be sold to you at this price you鈥檝e mentioned.鈥
As soon as Chu Mo spoke, Sophie immediately widened her eyes in shock.
She had actually given up hope, but unexpectedly, as fortune turned in her favor, she managed to buy the number one Longevity Pill for less than a fraction of its price.
If Princess Sa鈥檃nni, who ended up bidding eight hundred million for the Longevity Pill at the auction, knew about this, she would probably be furious enough to spit blood.
However, the matter was far from over.
Just as Princess Sophie was about to express her gratitude, Chu Mo continued to speak:
鈥淪ince His Majesty the King is unwell, it seems that just one number one Longevity Pill is definitely not enough to meet the need.
Only a number two Longevity Pill can completely control the condition.
I reckon His Majesty doesn鈥檛 have much time to come to Hua Country to undertake tasks, so given that, I鈥檒l just give His Majesty an advanced membership.
To be privileged to use the number two Longevity Pill, one must hold a membership above Level B.
As for Level A members, like I said before, only one is sold a year鈥
Now, to break the rule seems somewhat inappropriate.
Hence, I鈥檒l just give His Majesty a Level B membership right away, so that His Majesty can have the privilege of first using the number two Longevity Pill.鈥
Chu Mo spoke calmly; after all, for him, membership to the Longevity Club was simply a matter of his word.
He could freely grant any level of membership to anyone without the slightest loss to himself.
Even if the value of a Level B membership to the Longevity Club was one hundred billion, compared to the three to four hundred billion that Chu Mo invested in the Qing Guo and Qing Cheng sisters, it was truly a small matter not worth mentioning.
For Chu Mo, using a Level B membership of the club and a single small Longevity Pill to close the gap and strengthen ties with the Denmark Royal Family芒鈧€漚 move that would ensure their full support芒鈧€漺as absolutely a no-lose deal.
Chu Mo pondered for a moment, and made up his mind.
Yet, Princess Sophie on the other side had already been completely stunned.
A small Longevity Pill alone was worth at least three to five hundred million, and could even fetch eight hundred million if auctioned.
Chu Mo had previously offered her thirty-five million, so Sophie felt an air of surrealism.
And now, he was directly giving her a Level B membership.
The significance of a Level B membership in the Longevity Club was something Sophie had truly come to understand.
A Level B membership was worth a staggering one hundred billion, currently only held by the exceedingly wealthy Saudi King and the trillionaire Jewelry Princess Mina Gong.
If one were to really purchase it with money, even if they sold the entire Saudi royal family, it wouldn鈥檛 be enough to pool together one hundred billion.
After all, Denmark was not as extravagantly wealthy as Saudi, and the royal powers were not as extensive as one might imagine.
Receiving a Level B membership to the Longevity Club for free left Sophie feeling as though she was floating among the clouds.
However, at this moment, Chu Mo suddenly frowned.
He looked at the Princess in front of him, his expression showing a hint of hesitation as he said:
鈥淭he rules of the Longevity Club were laid down by me.
A small Longevity Pill is one thing; nobody would care about that.
But a Level B membership to the Longevity Club, if I just give it away for nothing鈥
It might lead others to wonder.
Matters of collaboration can鈥檛 be too openly discussed鈥
We must find a plausible and reasonable explanation, only with such can we avoid raising suspicion from others.鈥
Chu Mo was willing to offer a Level B membership to the Denmark Royal Family, of course, due to cooperation with Yang Duoer.
However, this matter could not be revealed, so Chu Mo needed to come up with a plausible and reasonable explanation; otherwise, surely, someone would become suspicious.
Not to mention, the Saudi King had just spent one hundred billion to purchase a B-Level membership.
If the Denmark Royal Family got a B-Level membership without spending anything, it would definitely be a major test of the Longevity Club鈥檚 credibility.
As Chu Mo internally grappled with this dilemma, Princess Sophie started to feel conflicted.
Seeing Chu Mo gaze straight at her, she thought he was expecting some costly compensation from her.
Naturally, there鈥檚 no such thing as a free lunch.
To obtain a Level B membership from the club without giving something in return was impossible.
Taking a deep breath and after brief hesitation, Sophie finally spoke up:
鈥淢r.
Chu Mo, I agree to your conditions, but I also have a small request.
After we鈥檙e together, can the Level B membership of the Longevity Club be directly granted to me personally?鈥
