Chapter Nineteen: The Super Treasure Trove
Update is out, brothers, come and give me a recommendation vote!
"No need to look at it, the development of Tianbao Financial Group to this day is inseparable from the hard work of you three. Just tell me roughly what the total assets of the group are now and the distribution of the group's enterprises. You should all know that I'm used to being a boss who doesn't bother with details. In the early days, when the group was still in its infancy, did any of you see me ask about the group's affairs? And what about thirty years later today? I dare say that including you three, shouldn't you have been idle for a long time? Everything is on track, as long as there is a general direction, the group will naturally develop along this direction, no need to worry too much."
Three people nodded in agreement, and Lin Yuhong said: "Boss Tianbao's financial group is now one of the world's top ten financial groups. According to this year's economic planning expert evaluation report, Tianbao Financial Group ranked sixth with a total asset value of 2 trillion 640 billion euros. However, in terms of personal assets, you, who own 55% of the company's shares, are considered the richest person in the world. The reason is simple: the five financial groups ahead of us have all gone public and raised funds, including three family-owned enterprises with divided assets. Their total assets are indeed higher than those of Tianbao Financial Group, but their water content is also very high."
"Over 200 billion..." Chu Yu was also shocked by this astonishing number. To think that when he left the secular world, Tianbao Financial Group's total assets were only over 50 billion pounds, and it was really unthinkable that the series of plans he had formulated back then would expand to today and accumulate wealth to such a terrifying number.
"As for the distribution of conglomerates around the world, I can't say clearly. The business areas involved in the conglomerate are all mainly real industries, and our conglomerate has influence in more than a hundred countries. The location of the conglomerate's headquarters remains unchanged, located in London, UK."
When Lin Youhong finished speaking, Hua Tianxiong seemed to have thought of something and excitedly added: "Right, boss, didn't you once ask us to search for rare treasures all over the world? After accumulating for thirty years, spending no less than tens of billions of euros, your treasure trove is now full."
"My treasure house..." Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the original intention of creating Tianbao Financial Group was to accumulate wealth and build his own financial empire, so as to collect various rare materials in the world. At that time, when he was still in London, England, Chu Yu had purchased a large piece of land on the outskirts of London and spent a huge sum of money to build a massive castle as the headquarters of Tianbao Financial Group. While building the castle, Chu Yu also ordered people to build a huge underground warehouse under the castle, which was called the treasure house...
"Filled up? That's impossible, the space inside the treasure vault is as big as thirty mu of land!" Chu Yu remembered clearly that when he left the mundane world, there was almost nothing in the treasure vault, just a few hundred kilograms of refined silver and gold, and some medicinal materials that were over a hundred years old.
"Of course, it's really full, boss. You don't know, this old hero is simply a treasure collector, and spending money like water is not enough to describe him. In these thirty years, he has almost attended all kinds of large-scale auctions held around the world, as well as all major black markets. The things he bought are all sorts of strange and weird things." Bai Cen Can laughed and pointed at Hua Tian Xiong.
"Boss, you must go and take a look at the treasure trove, there are definitely not few materials that can be used for refining inside. Although I haven't come into contact with the path of cultivating truth, from following boss around in the past, I more or less understand some things." Hu Tianxiong said excitedly.
Chu Yu was moved by the genuine loyalty of these three old subordinates, and a nostalgic smile appeared on his face: "Alright, I will go see him, but not now. You all know my current identity, to be honest, I feel guilty towards that child who drowned in the river, so before I fulfill that child's unfulfilled wish, I won't be able to extricate myself. This young identity is something I must continue with. Speaking of which, experiencing a bit of youthful time again is quite an interesting thing."
"Boss, aren't you going back to England with us?" Bai Cen asked in surprise.
"For the time being, it's impossible to go to the headquarters of the financial group. In fact, this is also good. I plan to first restore my cultivation to the Golden Core stage in Shanghai, and by that time, I should have fulfilled that young man's unfulfilled wish as well. At that time, I will rush to London, England to meet up with you all."
"How much longer until the Golden Elixir period, boss?" Hu Tianxiong asked with a bitter face.
Thinking of the "Shangqing Baolu" he had stumbled upon, Chu Yuxin calculated in his heart: "Based on my experience of having cultivated through the tribulation period once before, it would normally take around ten years to cultivate to the Golden Elixir stage. I can do it in just three years."
In fact, Chu Yu didn't say it all, the "three years" in his words was only the time needed when there was no external force to help him. Now that he has a huge fortune of 100 billion euros at his disposal, with Chu Yu's means, this "three years" can actually be shortened again and again.
"Three years..." The faces of Bai Cen, San, and the other two suddenly turned bitterer than a bitter melon.
"We won't be returning to London headquarters either." Hu Tianxiong suddenly blurted out a sentence, immediately getting the unanimous approval of Bai Cen and Lin Yuhong.
"Right, the three of us will be like before, following and serving our boss in Shanghai for a long time."
"That's right, anyway, now the financial group is on the right track, everything is taken care of, and we three are quite idle. Following the boss to gain experience is also good."
Chu Yu faced the three old subordinates' arbitrary words, somewhat at a loss for whether to laugh or cry, and slightly shook his head: "Actually, I don't have any objections if you insist on staying in Shanghai. However, even if you stay in Shanghai, you can't follow me around. Don't forget that my current identity is just an ordinary family's 16-year-old junior high school student who hasn't turned 16 yet... how could I possibly let three guys with net worths of several hundred billion follow me around?"
"That's easy, as long as you agree, boss. I have at least over a hundred ways to make the three of us become a 16-year-old boy's subordinates with a clear conscience." Bai Cen said with a serious face.
"Yes! Old Bai is right, and it will absolutely not make outsiders feel strange, at most they will be surprised. As long as you agree, boss, we'll take care of the rest." Hua Tianxiong said with a sly smile.
Chu Yu originally intended to use this as an excuse to dispel the three old subordinates' idea of staying by his side, but unexpectedly, the three old men were quick-witted and immediately shifted the topic to another level.
"I'm really fed up with you guys." Under the barrage of words from the three people, Chu Yu lost his smile and waved his hand: "You handle it yourselves, I don't care, no matter whether you leave or stay or do whatever, just don't drag my current identity into it."
Upon hearing Chu Yu's affirmative response, the three of them laughed in unison and said: "Yes, boss."
