Chapter 505 - 303: The High-Roller from Brother Long

Chapter 505: Chapter 303: The High-Roller from Brother Long

Lin Chu had never accepted a line of credit from any domestic bank, aside from getting a private banking card.

’Are you kidding me? With more cash flow than I could ever spend, why would I need a line of credit?’

However, now that he was abroad, leveraging his rebates was purely a case of getting something for nothing. He could be as audacious as he pleased.

Lin Chu himself felt like the door to a new world had opened.

’So this is what it’s like. Expanding abroad is this much fun.’

’This is the true nature of the world.’

’All business is, at its core, about people.’

...

「November 29th.」

After walking out of the land administration office with the signed contract in hand, Lin Chu felt a great weight had been lifted.

’I’ve bought the land. A four-billion-USD project, nearly a square kilometer of land, is now mine!’

’And it’s a freehold property, too.’

’As long as this country exists, this land will be mine forever.’

’In fact, unless the nation is conquered by a foreign power, the land will remain mine even through a peaceful change in government.’

’And thanks to special preferential policies, the annual property taxes are so low that the holding cost is practically zero.’

He’d even had a visceral reaction while signing the papers just now.

Excitement.

Pure, unadulterated excitement.

’Why shouldn’t a man take up his sword and conquer fifty states!’

This was a man’s romance.

In modern society, acquiring territory through warfare is nearly impossible. But now, through commercial means, he had his own exclave.

Including Daber Island, this was his second.

This project had already been placed under the newly established LC Group in Dubai. The shares, of course, could also be given away as a gift.

After bidding farewell to the group and getting into the car, Lin Chu looked at Lu Ming and said with a lighthearted laugh, "This company will be registered in your name. You’ll be a genuine Grand Governor of the Middle East. Let’s go sign the papers and get it registered. I’m transferring all the shares to you."

The shell companies were already set up.

Over the past two days, both Lin Chu and Lu Ming had registered their own shell companies in the Cayman Islands. All that was left was to process the share transfer.

Lu Ming: ...

Even though Lin Chu had told him about this already, now that the moment was here, he still felt an indescribable sense of shock.

’How terrifying!’

’Four billion USD!’

’Is he really not afraid I’ll just run off with it?!’

"Tell me the truth, what’s really going on?"

Lu Ming took a deep breath, his expression serious as he asked.

He and the others were now convinced of one thing: this had to be Lin Chu’s final, desperate gamble. He was getting his affairs in order, managing his asset risks, and not putting all his eggs in one basket before going all in.

After all, the facts were right there in front of them.

"What are you talking about?"

"What other reason could there be?"

"Of course, it’s because Daddy loves you!"

Lin Chu just smiled nonchalantly, not bothered in the slightest. He didn’t answer the question directly.

’Let them guess whatever they want. That’s their business.’

’My own goals are currently crystal clear and unwavering.’

’Short-term goal: Acquire a European Bank!’

’Mid-term goal: Acquire the LV Group!’

’Long-term goal: Take my capital global and stand at the very pinnacle of the international business world!’

’Honestly, my old self would have been a little stingy about spending money, giving gifts, and transferring shares. I would have even worried about the risk of being backstabbed, losing both my money and my friend in the process.’

’But now, I don’t even think about that stuff anymore.’

’A man has to be bold! He needs to have a grand vision! He has to be willing to give his brothers real power and benefits!’

’With the panel in my hands, the world is mine for the taking. So what if I give away a few pieces of it?’

’History provides a clear lesson. When Han Xin asked Liu Bang to make him the acting King of Qi, Liu Bang made him the *real* King of Qi.’

’So what’s there to be afraid of?’

’When you’re the boss, you have to have that kind of confidence.’

’If my brothers are loyal, then everything is simple. We’ll share the glory and riches.’

’If any of them turn traitor, the virtual panel would warn me first. Besides, I still have the Security Group. Violence is still one of the world’s metarules.’

Of course, Lin Chu was confident he hadn’t misjudged him.

Lu Ming wasn’t exceptionally capable, nor was he particularly ambitious. He came from a rich family and just wanted to live a carefree life. There was nothing to worry about.

Listening to Lin Chu, Lu Ming was speechless for a moment before letting out a sigh. He suddenly felt the weight on his shoulders grow immensely heavier.

But at the same time, a sense of heroic ambition began to stir within him.

’A grand enterprise!’

’Working for my big brother... it boils down to two words: damn good!’

That afternoon, after the share transfer contract was signed and the registration was complete, Lin Chu saw another rebate hit his account: eight billion USD!

’Combined with the three-billion-dollar line of credit, the cash I have at my disposal now exceeds ten billion USD!’

’If I were to actually count it all, I’d definitely make the Forbes list. No doubt about it.’

’But at this point, I don’t really care about that anymore.’

’Not one bit.’

’Before, I’d even contacted the Hu Run Report, hoping an interview would help me expand my network.’

But now, Lin Chu saw all of that with perfect clarity.

When you just put your head down and charge forward, you realize none of that matters. It’s just like that famous saying: Once you’ve broken through the gates, the scholars will come on their own to legitimize you.

Over the past few days, all sorts of media outlets in Dubai, and even many from around the world, had been trying to get an interview with him.

But Lin Chu had refused them all.

’There’s no need.’

’I don’t want to be famous anymore, nor do I need to look to other people’s lives for a blueprint.’

’Because the path I’m on is one of a kind.’
