Chapter 506: Chapter 303: The High-roller from Brother Long

There were no reference points ahead; he could only rely on himself to find the way.

...

He had originally planned to stay in Dubai for three days, but it had already been nearly ten. After settling the matter of the land plot and securing ten billion USD in available cash, Lin Chu was truly ready to leave.

As for what came next, Lu Ming and the company’s people would take full control and handle the detailed planning.

He was like the sharp tip of a spear, charging at the forefront, breaking through enemy lines to conquer new territory, then handing it over to them to manage the aftermath.

The next morning, a private jet took off from Dubai International Airport, bound straight for Paris.

The itinerary was planned as follows: first to Paris for two days, then to Luxembourg to investigate potential banks for acquisition, and finally, to Switzerland to meet with Liszt.

Yang Huixian didn’t even join him on this trip to Paris. Of his brothers, only Gao Haitao came along, in addition to Bian Gaige and the team he brought.

She had to open three new stores in Dubai and was swamped with work, so she had no interest in going to Paris.

Lin Chu found this a little amusing. ’Work has a way of making people "happy,"’ he thought. ’When women act up, it’s usually because they have too much free time. Once they get busy, they’re fine.’

Bian Gaige had brought a team of nearly twenty people with him this time.

He was incredibly excited about acquiring a foreign bank and was completely invested in the project.

An old steed in the stable still aspires to gallop a thousand miles.

It was as if his passion for life had been completely reignited.

He was already in his sixties. This might be the last major project he would personally participate in.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been worth mobilizing such a force.

Back in China, Bian Gaige had leveraged his network to the absolute limit.

To be honest, Lin Chu had been a little stunned when he saw the grand procession at the airport pickup.

For a university professor, the old man’s influence was truly terrifying.

But that was a good thing.

Among the twenty-one-person team were experts in international law, international economics, and the banking industry... The average education level was a doctorate or higher, more than half held professorships, and the sheer caliber was just off the charts.

After the plane took off, the group chatted casually in the cabin.

Bian Gaige, looking very festive in a pink suit, was holding a glass of iced Coke. He took a small sip and smiled at Lin Chu.

"Do you know who the first person from China was to acquire a European Bank in Luxembourg, after the major state-owned banks began operating there?"

Luxembourg is one of Europe’s financial centers. It has low entry barriers, low tax rates, strong government support, a large base of private banking clients, and a plethora of banking institutions. It’s a paradise for the finance industry.

That was why the target for this bank acquisition was definitely in Luxembourg.

Bian Gaige had already told Lin Chu all of this, but the question he just asked caught Lin Chu a bit off guard.

Uh...

’My knowledge base is coming up short.’

"Who?"

Lin Chu lit a cigarette and asked with a smile, ’Why be so mysterious? Just tell me. I was never a good student in class. Are you really going to test me with a question like this now?’

"The Liu Family."

Bian Gaige didn’t seem to mind, continuing on his own.

Lin Chu froze for a moment before realizing who he was talking about. He clicked his tongue and gazed out the window.

A vast sea of white clouds stretched out below, bathed in the golden light of the rising sun—a magnificent sight.

Exhaling a long plume of smoke, Lin Chu said with a half-smile, "A time to climb the highest peak and watch the mountains dwindle."
