Trillionaire's Slice of Life-Chapter 373 - 261 The Game of the Rich, A Life-Changing Choice
Chapter 373: Chapter 261 The Game of the Rich, A Life-Changing Choice
“Mr. Chu, since you’re not interested in collecting famous cars, I suggest you might as well collect some antiques and calligraphy paintings…”
Family Head Lin Youzhi had a calm demeanor, he, like Chu Mo, wore a pair of glasses, had a hooked nose, and his eyes were deep and undisturbed.
Before he could finish his sentence, the sound of high heels striking the floor suddenly rang out beside him, and then a woman with long, straight black hair cascading over her shoulders approached them leisurely.
Before she even arrived, her sweet and pleasant voice reached them first!
“Xuner, what a coincidence, I was just having coffee, I didn’t expect to run into you here!”
Dong Xuner, who had been sitting obediently beside Chu Mo before, turned her head. As soon as she saw the straight-haired woman, her expression became slightly serious, but after a moment, she stood up and approached the other:
“Nuonuo, let’s talk over here!”
Dong Xuner rose in haste, her face expressionless. She showed no surprise at seeing her good friend, her eyes instead carried a hint of cool indifference.
Chu Mo saw that the straight-haired woman was one of the three avant-garde girls who had greeted him earlier. As Dong Xuner was pulling her friend to leave, he casually smiled and said:
“Xuner, have your friend sit over here!”
Wearing a black strapless mini dress, Dong Xuner looked back at Chu Mo. Seeing him nod slightly, she apologized to Chu Mo with a gesture, then sat down with the straight-haired woman to his left!
Meanwhile, Dong Xuner quietly introduced her to Chu Mo:
“Mr. Chu, this is my close friend Jiang Nuonuo!”
Chu Mo nodded lightly. He gave the straight-haired woman, Jiang Nuonuo, a casual glance. She was dressed in a light purple Chinese-style dress with a white shawl draped over it, revealing a graceful neck and visible collarbone. Her long, black hair casually spilled over her shoulders, with a few strands draped across her chest.
Seeing Chu Mo’s gaze, the woman, also nodding lightly, flashed a look of gratitude in her eyes!
Chu Mo smiled, the woman in front of him had a light touch of makeup which only enhanced her beauty. The faint blush on her cheeks seemed like the blooming tenderness of a petal, making her as delicate and adorable as a fluttering butterfly, yet as pure and clear as ice and snow. She was one of the few in the hall whose beauty surpassed Dong Xuner’s.
The straight-haired woman was obviously bolder than her companions.
In the center of the hall, Qin Meili, who was the pink-dressed woman who had greeted Chu Mo earlier, and a short-haired girl were also looking over constantly, but they did not dare come over, leaving only the straight-haired woman brave enough to do so.
He withdrew his gaze from the straight-haired woman and refocused his attention on the big shots in front of him, speaking indifferently:
“Speaking of antiques and calligraphy paintings, I really haven’t studied much about them. Perhaps, Mr. Lin, you can offer some advice!”
Lin Youzhi, whose conversation had been interrupted, gently sipped his coffee. He adjusted his posture to be more comfortable before speaking with a light laugh:
“To give advice would be too much of an honor. I recently bought a painting from an auction in Europe. It’s a masterpiece by Picasso, this ‘Boy with a Pipe’ pays tribute to Picasso’s ongoing contraction of a diverse society.
It captures the bright spots of a complex society in every aspect, with Picasso using a blend of gray-orange and pink tones to create this painting.
The dimensions of the painting are 100 × 81.3 centimeters. It depicts a Parisian boy holding a pipe in his left hand. I acquired it for 10.4 million US dollars. Mr. Chu, if you’re interested, you might want to add it to your collection!”
Lin Youzhi was known to be a fan of Western oil paintings, a fact well acknowledged by the upper circles in Magic Capital. In contrast, Lord Lu from Magic Capital preferred antiques and calligraphy from Hua Country. For instance, the pieces in Chu Mo’s bedroom, worth hundreds of millions or even tens of billions, were all from the hands of well-known masters of Hua Country!
In Chu Mo’s Emperor’s Mansion Villa Number One, over 20 billion worth of antiques were housed. These were all part of Lord Lu’s cherished collections, many of which were priceless heirlooms.
Chu Mo had recently taken an interest in these heirloom treasures, not because he had an eye for art but because he simply wanted to collect these valuable antiques and paintings. For when he got old, he could leave a substantial inheritance for his descendants, so that even if they were incompetent, these treasures could sustain the Chu family’s prosperity.
Besides, he had an infinite credit card, spending money was even simpler than drinking water!
Feeling intrigued, Chu Mo didn’t decline. He said directly:
“I guess I will have to ask Mr. Lin to part with it… In that case, I won’t let Mr. Lin busy himself for nothing. The painting is worth 10.4 million US dollars, right? Let’s make it a round number, 10 million, and the extra 600,000 US dollars is for Mr. Lin to enjoy a cup of tea!”
600,000 US dollars, converted into RMB, would be a full 36 million RMB, sufficient to buy a Ferrari LaFerrari with plenty to spare!
Of course, to someone like Lin Youzhi with a net worth of 300 billion, a mere 36 million would not excite him.
He merely nodded subtly, his voice calm:
“I will have the painting delivered to Mr. Chu in the next couple of days. If Mr. Chu likes, feel free to visit my collection. Anything you fancy that’s below a billion, just take it.”
The two chatted and laughed, and a world-class painting worth 660 million RMB was easily settled.
At that moment, Family Head Wu Sihai of Magic Capital spoke up with a smile:

“Speaking of antiques, I’d like to join in the fun. Lord Lu, that Emperor Qianlong’s thumb ring you always wear, haven’t you grown tired of it? You’ve been wearing it for decades. How about this, I’ll take it for five billion—let me have some fun with it!”
