Mu Zhicheng was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiao explained, "In order to save you, I agreed to hand over all the antiques stored in your warehouse to the Chen family for auction."
"Huh? All the antiques in the warehouse were given to the Chen family?"
"Yes! They're afraid I'll do something foolish with the antiques, so it's good that your batch of porcelain wasn't put into the warehouse. I still have leverage to catch a big fish."
“They’re probably afraid you’ll use the antiques to lure the Cao family. I also think that after all that’s happened, it’s better for us to keep a low profile for now.”
Mu Zhicheng thought for a moment and said, "I heard that the Chen family and the Cao family are competing for the development rights of Dream Island."
Hearing this, Chu Xiao was somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't the Chen family already obtain the development rights? Chu Zhenhe even asked me to cooperate with the Chen family before."
"What do you mean 'already'? The development cost of Dream Island is at least hundreds of billions. How could the Chen family possibly swallow such a big pie? They are just one of the shortlisted candidates. There are other shortlisted candidates as well."
"Several shortlisted companies are now competing for the largest shareholder position. Whoever succeeds will become the leader in the Asian tourism industry."
Chu Xiao's voice even became a few decibels higher: "The leader of the entire Asian tourism industry?"
Mu Zhicheng nodded.
"The Dream Island project not only boasts the largest island group in Asia, but also the largest hot spring resort in Asia, Fairy Valley, Xuantian Waterfall, Butterfly Valley, film and television base, and more."
"Once this project was launched, it received full government support, which included the creation of a tourist town, a dream kingdom, a 5D live-action CS battlefield, an AI extreme challenge castle, and a ten-star alien hotel..."
Chu Xiao was dumbfounded when he heard these unheard-of project names.
In the past, he did nothing but play around with women, completely unaware that society had developed to the point where 5D and AI were sufficient to build a ten-star alien hotel.
It seems he can't just drift along aimlessly; he needs to get a share of the profits too.
Just then, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
He took it out and saw that it was a call from Huo Zishan.
"Mr. Chu, the truck is already in the Mu Group parking lot. You haven't forgotten your agreement with the Chen family, have you?"
Chu Xiao smiled.
"Of course I haven't forgotten! I'll have Zhicheng go to the company right now, but can we change our agreement?"
Huo Zishang paused noticeably: "What does Mr. Chu mean?"
A sly glint flashed in Chu Xiao's eyes.
"I know the Chen family is currently competing with the Cao family for the development rights of Dream City, which is why they are going to great lengths to raise funds. Although I am not the key to you influencing the Chen family, I have played a role, right?"
Huo Zishan didn't reply, but his silence spoke volumes.
Therefore, Chu Xiao boldly said, "I will auction the antiques for the Chen family. In return, can the Chen family nominate me for the list of developers of Dream City?"
The Dream City project is so large that the Chen family alone cannot handle it.
He used antiques worth hundreds of billions to show his loyalty, which would allow him to join forces with the Chen family to deal with the Cao family and stabilize their cooperative relationship. Huo Zishan had no reason to refuse.
Sure enough, Huo Zishan's laughter came from the other end: "Mr. Chu is getting better and better at scheming, but I need to discuss this matter with my grandfather. Please wait for my reply."
Chu Xiao said "okay" and hung up the phone.
Upon seeing this, Mu Zhicheng asked in shock, "Chu Xiao, you... you want a piece of Dream City's cake? That's too far-fetched!"
There are countless billionaires around the world who want a piece of this pie, but the association's selection criteria are extremely strict.
It wasn't that he didn't want to trust his brother, but Chu Xiao had no connections, no business acumen, and no entrepreneurial spirit. Could this really work?
