From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Chapter 197: What a Real Eye-Opener

"Sir~ interested in joining me for a dip in the rooftop pool?"

"Sorry, I don’t think so," Su Chen once again turned down an invitation from a sexy, curvaceous woman.

Seeing that his gaze didn’t even flicker in her direction, the woman knew Su Chen wasn’t interested and turned back into the crowd.

At first, Su Chen had thought this party would be some kind of high-class affair, but he soon realized it was different from what he’d imagined.

It wasn’t like what Arthur had described—a place for top financial magnates to exchange confidential information or secure business channels unknown to the general public.

Instead, the scene was a crowd of people fawning over Arthur, John, and Abdullah. There were even socialites from well-known families, dressed in revealing and skimpy outfits, pressing themselves against the men.

Moreover, Su Chen noticed that most of the attendees were socialites from lower-to-middle-class families. Each one was dressed beautifully, flaunting her assets to the fullest.

The few men attending the party, however, were a different story. While chatting with John earlier, Su Chen had learned that they all came from the top-ranking families in their respective countries, each wielding immense influence locally.

Thinking of this, a pyramid structure formed in Su Chen’s mind.

Yes, a pyramid.

These beautiful socialites from various countries were the bottom two layers of the pyramid, representing the numerous lower and middle-tier families. Above them were the upper-tier families, and at the very apex, the handful of top-tier families.

As long as these socialites could build good relationships with people from the two upper tiers, their families’ development for the year would be smooth sailing. If they managed to latch onto the coattails of men like Arthur, their families might just take off completely.

In return, even the scraps that the top two tiers let fall through their fingers were more than enough for those below to feast on. Plus, they gained a group of obedient "people"!

Arthur, John, Abdullah, and the others at the top could use these lower and middle-tier families to extend their tentacles into countries all over the world, allowing them to spot any huge potential profits at a moment’s notice.

’This is practically a syndicate of interests!’

A chilling realization washed over Su Chen. This was just a small circle formed by Arthur, John, and a few others, and it was already shocking enough.

’If this is what a small group is like, how unimaginably complex and vast must the web of interests be for a syndicate formed by the truly top-tier financial magnates!’

A flood of thoughts rushed into his mind, and Su Chen was lost in contemplation.

"What are you thinking about?"

At some point, Arthur had walked over and sat down next to Su Chen.

Su Chen jolted, snapping out of his thoughts. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
