Chapter 316 - The Billionaire (1/2)

Chapter 316 The BillionaireUpon seeing that, those who followed Maldini Jr. were dumbfounded. They stood there frozen, unable to believe what they saw.

Maldini Jr. had just saluted a young man from the Celestial Land. What was going on here?

“Ah…”

Suddenly, someone screamed in the hall. It turned out to be a man whose finger had been bitten by his companion. The woman was trying to see if this was real, and she got a positive answer when she heard the man shrill.

The expressions of the father and son changed again when they figured out what was actually happening. The father and son had just chased after Maldini Jr. and bowed before him, only to be ignored. Now, Maldini Jr. was bowing before Qin Haodong. They were both Celestial Land people, but the difference between their attitudes was significant.

This was akin to slapping their faces.

Wang Dacheng had just said that Maldini Jr. admired him very much and the man had come to the Celestial Land to invest in his business. Why wouldn’t the man even look at him now? What had happened?

Within a short moment, many people started to question Wang Dacheng’s previous announcement. Judging by the way Maldini Jr. acted, he wasn’t interested in investing in his business that much.

Qin Haodong greeted Maldini Jr. by nodding and saying, “Mr. Maldini Jr, welcome to the Celestial Land!”

“Dear Medical Sage, I’m a huge fan of yours. Your Blood Revival Elixir is marvelous. It’s a miracle that has exceeded my imagination.

I would like to invest in Tangmen Chinese Medicine Company. I can invest 10 billion yuan… no, 20 billion yuan… to help you build factories in Europe and America. I’ll help you distribute your products everywhere around the world. All I need is 20% of the shares…”

The onlookers’ mouths opened even wider as soon as Maldini Jr. said that.

A 20-billion investment only for 20% of the shares implied that the market value of Tangmen Company was at least 100 billion yuan.

What would that look like? Wang Haiting was supposed to be one of the ten top billionaires in Jiangnan, but his assets were worth one billion at most. The assets of the whole Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce could barely reach 10 million, yet that was the value of Tangmen Company. No wonder Lin Momo was so confident that they wouldn’t need the resources of the Chamber.

Their expressions as they looked at Qin Haodong had totally changed. At first, they had considered him a gigolo, but now they realized the guy looked handsome enough to live off others, but he insisted on earning a living by himself. He would become a real billionaire!

Wang Dacheng’s fame quickly faded next to Qin Haodong and he became less attractive in the eyes of those rich girls.

Upon seeing that the fortune he was going to make would be taken away by Qin Haodong, Wang Dacheng could no longer put up with it. He stepped forward hastily and made a polite request. “Mr. Maldini Jr, you said you were going to invest in Haitian Group. I’ve just established the Hall of Medical Fame of the Celestial Land and I’ve invited plenty of famous doctors in Jiangnan City to join in. I promise I won’t let you down.”

Maldini Jr. straightened his spine and looked back at Wang Dacheng. Then, he replied, “I was interested in the Chinese Medicine industry you mentioned to me because I looked up to the Medical Sage. The Blood Revival Elixir is ingenious. It’s a perfect demonstration of the miraculous aspect of Chinese medicine. That was why I dropped by your place to take a look.

I will invest in the Medical Sage’s business, but I’ll check out and consider yours later. I ought to think twice about it. It’s currently more of an investment intention!”

Suddenly, the people there realized that, instead of Wang Dacheng, Qin Haodong was the real reason Maldini Jr. had agreed to come to the Celestial Land and inspect the Haitian Group’s project.

“Well…”

Wang Dacheng felt quite embarrassed at the moment and wished he could hide in a crack on the ground. He had thought that Maldini Jr. admired his talent, but it turned out that he had been benefitting from Qin Haodong, his rival in love. That was the first time in his life that he felt so ashamed.

Wang Dazhi had been following him, but he was no more than a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. He had never heard of Midas Investment Corporation before, and he had no idea about Maldini Jr.’s high position in the financial world.

All he knew was that Qin Haodong had executively put his family in an awkward position and embarrassed them. He now hated Qin Haodong even more. Thus, he asked the guards that were standing by, “Am I paying you for nothing? I already told you to throw that gigolo out. What are you waiting for?”

He was taking this too lightly, as he thought that everything would be settled without Qin Haodong there. He did not realize that things were completely different now. Maldini Jr. had made some cooperation proposals to Qin Haodong, yet he came forward and tried to drive him out. That was humiliating for Maldini Jr.

Maldini Jr. waved his hand at his bodyguards with a long face. “Protect the Medical Sage.”

The guards of Jiangnan Club, who had been berated, rushed over and tried to move but they were no match for Maldini Jr.’s bodyguards. Soon, dozens of guards had been knocked down on the ground by the big and tall special forces.

Wang Dacheng, who finally realized what had happened, snapped at their guards and stopped them.

Maldini Jr. lashed out. “Wang Dacheng, what are you doing?”

Wang Dacheng explained desperately, “I’m sorry, Mr. Maldini Jr. You’ve misunderstood. My brother is not doing that to you!”

“You know what? I’m a fan of the Medical Sage, and he’s a friend of my family. How dare you lay a finger on him! You’re provoking my family!”

He pointed to Wang Dacheng’s nose with his finger as he lashed out. His angry spit was scattered on Wang Dacheng’s face. Wang Dacheng could only silently submit to this humiliation. After all, this man was Maldini Jr, a financial giant his family couldn’t afford to piss off.
