From Wage Slave to Tycoon novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Night Cruise on the Huangpu River

After Aik’s explanation, Su Chen had a rough plan in mind.

"Aik, first, help me find a professional CEO, preferably someone from the investment and finance sector. They must be capable, and more importantly, trustworthy. Be sure to do a very thorough background check."

Su Chen wasn’t in a hurry to establish the company. First find a leader, then slowly build from there. He didn’t want any backstabbers in his company down the line.

In fact, Aik had also suggested poaching a professional investment team, one that would work exclusively for him.

But Su Chen still felt it was better to build his own core team from scratch.

After all, he wasn’t in a great hurry. Besides, he only had a little over a hundred million in capital at the moment. Even if some great investment opportunity came along, it’s not like he’d get a shot at it.

This way, he could build his team while waiting for next month’s funds from the system. It was perfect timing.

Once the plan was set, Su Chen signed a retainer agreement with Aik.

Hamis and Aik didn’t stay for long. They left after finishing their coffee.

Just as Su Chen was thinking of heading home to laze around, he received an unexpected phone call.

’Why is he calling me? He’s not really asking me to hang out, is he?’

Looking at the caller ID on his phone, Su Chen answered the call.

"Mr. Su, I’m not disturbing you, am I?"

A voice came through the line as soon as the call connected.

"Young Master Wang, not at all. I’m always free for a call from you!" The caller was none other than Wang Sicong, whom he had just met the previous night.

"Hahaha, Mr. Su, you’re too kind. I was wondering if you’re free to hang out?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment. "Where did Young Master Wang have in mind?"

"Take a yacht out on the Huangpu River, have some tea, chat..."

Hearing about a yacht trip... Su Chen’s interest was piqued.

"Sounds good. I’m at No. 8 on the Bund right now. Send me the location and I’ll head right over."

"Great, I’ll send you the location right now!"

Not long after hanging up, Su Chen received a message from Wang Sicong.

"Metropolitan Yacht Marina!"

He looked up the address. It wasn’t very far, located near Lujiazui, only about a ten-minute drive away.

Metropolitan Yacht Marina!

Wang Sicong and Chen He were sitting in the lounge area by the entrance.

"Sicong, is what you said true? That Mr. Su is really a shareholder of Louis Vuitton, Richemont, and Kaiyun?" Chen He still found it a bit hard to believe. It was originally just a guess, but he never thought it would turn out to be true!

Wang Sicong shot him a glance before saying slowly, "What’s so hard to believe? After you told me last night, I had someone look into it. He is indeed a shareholder of all three groups, and he holds ten percent of the shares in each!"

’Who would’ve thought that just by dropping in for a chat, they’d meet such a formidable figure!’

They had originally thought Su Chen was just some rich second-generation kid from a small town, but it turned out he was a behemoth hidden beneath the surface.

Thinking back to his own attitude the previous night, he felt relieved that he hadn’t done anything to offend the man.

"Sicong, Mr. Su is here!" The sharp-eyed Chen He spotted Su Chen getting out of his car.

"Let’s go!" Wang Sicong said, getting up and walking toward Su Chen. Seeing this, Chen He strode to follow.

As Su Chen watched the two of them walk toward him, he was filled with confusion.

’What’s going on? Are they coming to welcome me?’
