Chen Haorong's family was also watching the news about Chen Haoxuan. When they saw that the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda carved by Chen Haoxuan could sell for eight hundred million, they couldn't help but frown. They just couldn't stand seeing others do well, especially those they had looked down upon in the past.
Li Xin, watching television, remarked, "I didn't expect that kid to make so much money." She felt a bit regretful for abandoning Chen Haoxuan; otherwise, she would be a super rich woman now, with plenty of money to spend.
"Having money doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing. He might get kidnapped in a few days!" Chen Haorong said with a stern face, displeased. Only he knew how deep his hatred ran. A few months ago, he arrogantly called Chen Haoxuan useless, but now look at Chen Haoxuan! Living in a Luxury Villa, driving a million-dollar BMW, and having assets worth over one billion Renminbi. In Pingyuan County, Chen Haoxuan was undoubtedly the richest person.
In just a few months, the gap between him and Chen Haoxuan had widened so much that it made him very uncomfortable. However, he didn't have the same capabilities as Chen Haoxuan to connect with wealthy people or the business acumen that Chen Haoxuan possessed. He often comforted himself with thoughts of not being as handsome as Chen Haoxuan, but now he could no longer use that to console himself because his jealousy of Chen Haoxuan was driving him nearly insane.
"Didn't you hear what the host said on TV? That kid hired over thirty security guards, all retired soldiers. Even if someone wanted to kidnap him, they wouldn't stand a chance against thirty retired soldiers," Li Xin said.
"Hey, what do you think about asking him for some money? Now that he's so rich, he should be able to give us tens of millions!" Chen Zhenghao (Chen Haoxuan's father) said with a sinister expression.
"Why would he give us anything? Just recently when I was shopping in New City, my wallet got stolen. He was there too and didn't help me at all; he just stood by and watched while I was being beaten by thugs! A person like him would never give us any benefits, even if we are his parents," Li Xin said angrily. She felt furious every time she remembered how Chen Haoxuan had ignored her when she needed help.
"He dares not give? If he doesn't give us money, we'll sue him. The land for that house and those two acres of farmland are mine, and I raised him all these years. Does he dare not give?" Chen Zhenghao said firmly. In reality, there wasn't much difference between this and extortion.
"Exactly! We raised him after all and even gave him a room and land; he should pay us something," Li Xin said happily. She thought that since Chen Haoxuan was so wealthy now, she should be able to get one or two billion Renminbi from him. If she really had that much money, she wouldn't have to live in a Small Villa anymore; she could move into a mansion and buy lots of designer clothes and drive luxury cars.
Chen Haoxuan was not present; if he were there, he might have angrily shouted at Li Xin and the others: "Give you money? I'd rather give you ghost money!"
Meanwhile, two hours later at the auction house, the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda was purchased by Amanxi Binqi, ranked tenth on the list of world billionaires, for one billion Renminbi. This price shocked the world and caused Chen Haoxuan's net worth to skyrocket. Many wealthy individuals placed orders for his works, but Chen Haoxuan did not agree to any of them.
To become famous requires making exceptions; the more he refused them, the more they desired his stone carvings.
Amanxi Binqi contacted Chen Haoxuan and informed him that he would send someone to China tomorrow to transport the Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda to the United States. Chen Haoxuan eagerly agreed, as he couldn't wait to get his hands on that One Hundred Million RMB. With One Hundred Million RMB, he could invest in anything he wanted and no longer have to beg others for help.
Today, Hua Lingwei and the others came to Chen Haoxuan's residence as usual. The Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda had sold for a high price, and Chen Haoxuan was very pleased, so he suggested going to the Villa Hotel. Upon arriving at the Villa Hotel, Chen Haoxuan insisted on ordering the most expensive items, just like yesterday.
In the luxurious private room, Zhou Xiang raised his glass and said to Chen Haoxuan, "Xuan, congratulations on selling your Thousand Buddha Stone Pagoda for such a high price."
"Thank you." Chen Haoxuan clinked glasses with Zhou Xiang and then downed his drink.
"Xuan, now that you have One Hundred Million RMB and shares in Communication Mobile City, you're wealthier than I am. Have you thought about what business you want to pursue in the future?" Hua Tianyu asked Chen Haoxuan.
"I want to enter the Liquid Crystal Television Industry and then move into the Computer Industry," Chen Haoxuan confidently replied. Although liquid crystal televisions were available now, they were very expensive and rarely used; the same went for liquid crystal computers. Chen Haoxuan knew how to produce them in a way that would save a lot of money while achieving quality several times better than what was available at this time! If he could sell them at the same price as those currently on the market, he would make a fortune.
"Do you need to find partners?" Zhou Xiang asked with an expectant look at Chen Haoxuan.
"Not for now. If I do look for partners, you will be the first ones I approach," Chen Haoxuan replied apologetically.
"You want to enter the Liquid Crystal Television Industry and Computer Industry; you'll need to build a factory, right? How about this: come to my industrial park, and I'll offer you a favorable rental rate," Li Jun suggested with a smile. Today, not only Li Jun but also several other businessmen who were familiar with Chen Haoxuan had come: Li Jun, Zhou Xiang, Hua Tianyu, Zhang Tianqi, Jiang Xianghan, Wang Long... and Yang Lin among others.
"Sure, that sounds good. Once I've made my decision, I'll reach out to you," Chen Haoxuan said happily. If he rented space, he wouldn't just rent a small area; he'd take over the entire industrial park because that suited his style—if he's going to do it, he's going to do it big.
"Xuan, seeing you now feels like a dream. I wonder! Is this still the Xuan I knew? Back then, you were just an ordinary student, and in the blink of an eye, you've become a Billionaire. It's hard to believe anyone can develop so quickly like you," said Jiang Xianghan, who was dressed quite attractively.
"Isn't this all thanks to your help? Otherwise, I wouldn't have become a Billionaire so quickly," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
“Xuan, look at how early your sister started collaborating with you in business. Now Zhang Tianqi is relying on you to make big money. When will you take your sister along to make a fortune?” Jiang Xianghan joked.
“Don’t say that; I really want to help you get rich. I started training ten women to sew clothes a while ago. Once they become skilled, I’ll design some trendy outfits for them to make. When they’re done, I’ll wholesale them to you, and you’ll definitely make a profit,” Chen Haoxuan said.
