Chapter 518: Chapter 310: Hello, Brother Qiang

"Brother Chu, want to go see the Crazy Horse Show tonight?"

After Lin Chu put down his phone, Tang Qiang suddenly spoke up.

He had been racking his brains, trying to figure out how to please the boss in front of him.

Of course, not by using himself.

’How could I possibly please him personally?’

’Obviously, I have to think of other ways.’

If the Moulin Rouge was for the middle class, then in Paris, the Crazy Horse Show was absolutely a paradise for the upper crust. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

The reputation of those three words needed no further explanation.

The performers on its stage could even include global-level celebrities.

"Hm? Isn’t that thing condemned by everyone?"

Lin Chu asked casually.

’That was my fixed impression.’

Some time ago, there was a huge scandal, and someone even got blacklisted.

But Lin Chu wasn’t too clear on the inside story; he hadn’t looked into it closely.

He wasn’t very interested in that kind of gossip.

As for celebrities... he’d never been a fan, not even back when he had no money.

Tang Qiang scratched his head and chuckled. "I don’t know, I’ve never been either. I couldn’t afford a place like that before. I just heard it’s a lot of fun."

"We... we can just go take a look with a critical mindset. Yes, a strongly critical one!"

Lin Chu gave him a faint, knowing smile.

’This guy really is a sly one.’

"Alright, you arrange it. We’ll test the waters tonight."

"My brother is coming over tomorrow anyway. We can take him along tomorrow night."

After a moment’s thought, Lin Chu agreed.

’Since Wang Zhefei is willing to give up everything he has now to ’weather the storm’ with me, I naturally won’t treat him poorly.’

’Time to live it up!’

"Got it! I’ll go check on it right now."

Tang Qiang quickly pulled out his phone to buy tickets.

Lin Chu glanced at him but didn’t say anything more, continuing his leisurely stroll down the street lined with luxury shops.

Before they had taken more than a few steps, Tang Qiang held up his phone screen for Lin Chu to see.

"President Lin, look."

"This place is under the LV Group. It’s an enterprise of the owner’s third son."

"They... uh, it’s breathtaking."

Huh?

’This is a Louis Vuitton enterprise?’

Lin Chu’s interest was piqued. He took a look and was immediately hit with a sense of shock.

The girls who performed there, called "crazy girls," had to meet the following criteria:

Height: 168-172cm.

Age: 18-24 years old.

Leg Length: 112-115cm.

Navel to Pubic Bone: 13cm.

Distance Between Nipples: 21cm.

The standards were strict and precise, line by line. A place that thoroughly objectified people.

His brows furrowed.

For a moment, a strong sense of criticism truly welled up in Lin Chu’s heart.

’Isn’t this a bit too fucked up?’

’What is this, some kind of pleasure house?’

’And it’s owned by the LV Group, of all things.’

’Selling luxury goods with one hand and running this stuff with the other, huh?’

"Qiangzi, are you afraid of going to jail?"

At that moment, Lin Chu glanced around. Seeing no one nearby, he suddenly spoke in a low voice.

Tang Qiang: ?

He stared at Lin Chu with wide eyes.

’He didn’t understand what he meant by that at all.’

"I have a crazy idea. Didn’t we talk before about consolidating those bag snatchers and car thieves?"

"Thinking about it now, what’s the point of that?"

"You go organize them and smash up the Crazy Horse Show. You’ll make a name for yourself in one fell swoop!"

"Achieve fame and fortune! Bring honor to your ancestors!"

"If your family has a genealogy book, they’d have to dedicate a whole new page to you, a record for the annals of history."

Lin Chu said this half-jokingly, half-seriously, his tone carrying a hint of instigation.

Tang Qiang: ...

His sharp Adam’s apple bobbed. His pupils contracted. A flicker of temptation appeared in his eyes.

’But at that moment, he couldn’t even tell if what Lin Chu was saying was real or a joke.’

’Is he deliberately teasing me?’

’Or does he really want to do it?’

"Wait... Brother Chu, this... isn’t this a bit too much?"

"Won’t we get killed for this?"

"That’s LV’s place!"

"The boss of the LV Group is the richest man in France!"

Tang Qiang licked his lips, his voice dropping to a near whisper.

’It was hard to imagine that this President Lin before him would be so audacious!’

’Besides, it doesn’t seem like it would be of any particular help to the business.’

’I don’t stand to gain anything from it.’

’Why smash up someone else’s venue?’

Seeing his reaction, Lin Chu waved his hand and chuckled. "I was just saying. Of course, if you’re a coward, then forget it. Just take it as a joke."

Tang Qiang: ...

’Hey, don’t say that!’

’It’s not that I don’t dare to do it, it’s just that I’m still hesitating.’

’After all, if this blows up, it could get really big.’

"I’ll do it!"

"Whatever the boss wants me to do, I’ll do it! However the boss wants me to do it, I’ll do it!"

"It’s just jail time, right? I’ll do it! Even if I, your old man, end up in prison, as long as I’m not executed, I’ll damn well carve out a new world for you from the inside!"

"I’ll just treat it as advanced studies!"

"In a place like this, as long as you have money, life on the inside isn’t necessarily any harder than on the outside!"

Looking at Lin Chu’s expression, Tang Qiang gritted his teeth and steeled his resolve.

’Damn it!’

’Glory and riches must be fought for with your life!’

Lin Chu clapped him on the shoulder and laughed. "It won’t come to that. Alright, I’m very satisfied with this attitude of yours."

"Let’s wait and see. We’ll have our meal first, see how good this pot of rice is, and then we’ll smash the pot."

"You can start looking for candidates... I’ll teach you. You need to stack buffs: environmentalists, feminists, or just go straight for disabled people, cancer patients... stack your armor to the max, then just go in and get it done!"

Lin Chu leaned in close to his ear and whispered.

’After all, saying something like this in public made him feel a little guilty.’

Tang Qiang: Uh.

"Look at the bigger picture. There’s plenty more to come. This is just the beginning."

"Let me put it this way: later, once you’ve cultivated your core team, if you could manage to blow up the Yasukuni Shrine, it wouldn’t just be about getting a new page in your family records. Think about it... what would your status be then?"

"Even I would have to fucking call you... Brother Qiang! An honor to meet you, Brother Qiang!"

Lin Chu added.

’Gao Haitao is the boss of the Security Group, so he’s not suitable for this role, at least not publicly.’

’With his personality, he couldn’t do it anyway. He’s not on that level.’

’But this Tang Qiang... the more Lin Chu looked at him, the more he felt the guy had some potential.’

’He’s still a bit green, though.’

’But he can be trained.’

Hearing this, Tang Qiang was once again profoundly shaken. While he demurred, a sense of yearning grew in his heart.

’If I really follow the path President Lin has laid out for me... then... shit, as long as I don’t get myself killed, sooner or later I’ll end up a ’Godfather’-level boss.’

He felt a fire ignite in his chest, burning fiercely.

"Let’s go check it out tonight!"

"And case the joint!"

"If it really seems doable, then... fuck it, let’s do it!"

Lin Chu nodded with a smile and made a hushing gesture. Inwardly, however, he was thinking that when he saw Bian Gaige later, he could give him a sum of money to short Louis Vuitton’s stock.

’He wasn’t an expert in the finer points of capital market operations, but he understood the general direction of things.’

’With a few million, or tens of millions, playing the capital market is about watching the market trends.’

’But with billions, or even tens of billions, you’re naturally looking at the major trends.’

’Moreover, you can create the trends yourself.’

’With the LV Group’s current valuation of nearly five hundred billion USD, buying it was out of the question. A company that big was simply impossible to acquire on the secondary market.’

’So, I’ll just have to smash it up a bit first!’
