"Boss, why did you have them do that?"

After the three of them left, Wilbur couldn't help but ask Su Xuan, as his small request concerned the tycoon Richard.

"It's confidential." Su Xuan smiled mysteriously at Wilbur.

But Wilbur looked worried. "Boss, do you have a grudge against Richard?"

"No," Su Xuan said simply, waving his hand. "His daughter is my woman."

"Ah?" Wilbur's mouth gaped open, and then he became very excited. "Boss, you're incredible! If you marry Richard's daughter, then..."

Then Su Xuan would step directly into Richard's business empire and become an invincible business magnate! FedEx would also be presented with a massive development opportunity because of this.

Richard's business empire had already penetrated every aspect of public life, including agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and real estate. The influence of the Richard Group could be seen almost everywhere.

"Don't get your hopes up." Su Xuan narrowed his eyes. "Richard isn't just going to let his daughter be with me. Do you have any information on him?"

"Some, but not much," Wilbur immediately responded. "After he brought his only daughter back, he delegated almost all his authority to her and has rarely been seen in public since. I only know that he's been staying at home recently."

Is he so bored that he's decided to pick a fight with me? Su Xuan muttered to himself, then asked Wilbur, "Do you know where his daughter Alice is right now?"

"I'm not too clear on that," Wilbur said, shaking his head. "It involves their business arrangements, which are difficult to track."

"Arrange a car for me." Su Xuan glanced at the time; it was already eight o'clock in the evening. "I'm going to Richard's house tonight."

"Boss, you haven't eaten anything yet," Wilbur said thoughtfully. "Would you like to have dinner before you go?"

"That sounds good." Su Xuan nodded.

Just then, Wilbur's phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller's name, Wilbur frowned, stepped aside, and said in a low voice, "My boss is here, but he has plans for tonight. Would tomorrow work?"

Just as Wilbur hung up and was about to arrange dinner, Su Xuan stopped him. "Who was that? What was it about?"

I came looking for Alice quietly, so not many people should know I'm here.

"It was from Buffett," Wilbur said, walking back to Su Xuan. "He wants to invest in our company and has been trying to talk to you, the new boss."

"Buffett..." Su Xuan muttered the name, then asked, "Is that the same Buffett who likes to sell his lunch?"

"Yes, boss." Wilbur nodded. Buffett was a world-renowned investor, primarily in stocks, electronic spot commodities, and the currency market.

"Does he have noble blood?" Su Xuan asked suddenly. At the last hotel, he had overheard Susanna mention that a young nobleman from the Buffett Family was pursuing Alice, but he had assumed she was making it up.

"That's just something he fabricated to make himself look good," Wilbur said with some disdain. "He likes to act all mysterious, but to us insiders, he's all smoke and mirrors. He's only good at gathering information. He wants to meet you primarily to get a feel for our company's situation before deciding whether to invest."

"How many sons does he have?" Su Xuan asked.

Wilbur didn't understand the question but answered truthfully, "Just one."

Su Xuan pondered for a moment. "Call him back and tell him I've agreed to meet."

"Sure!" Wilbur picked up his phone, ready to make the call.

"And..." Su Xuan raised a hand. "He's paying, right?"

"Of course." Wilbur gave Su Xuan a deep look. "Boss, his net worth is only sixty or seventy billion US dollars, while you're worth over a hundred billion. Compared to you, he's just a..." Wilbur chose his words carefully. "...a small fry."

Ever since Su Xuan became the largest shareholder of FedEx, Wilbur had done a deep dive on him. After roughly calculating Su Xuan's visible assets, he was shocked. His boss had a net worth of at least one hundred billion US dollars!

"Ha!" Su Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. "Tell him to bring his son along."

Wilbur quickly made the call. Once connected, he said proudly, "My boss has agreed to have dinner with you. You can bring your son, too."

The man on the other end of the line was quick to express his gratitude. "Excellent, excellent! Please thank your boss for me."

「Half an hour later」

Led by Wilbur, Su Xuan arrived at a luxurious Chinese restaurant. Choosing a Chinese restaurant for the meal was a clear sign of Buffett's sincerity.

Inside the private room, Buffett, who was already waiting, immediately stood up when he saw Su Xuan. "Mr. Su, hello, hello!" He extended his hand and shook Su Xuan's warmly, his attitude one of deep respect.

"Please, have a seat." Su Xuan gestured for him not to be overly formal.

These legendary figures in the media are really no different from ordinary people once you meet them in person. They're just packaged better.

Another important reason Buffett seemed so unremarkable in front of Su Xuan was that Su Xuan's wealth far surpassed his. If Su Xuan were the owner of a small company, he likely wouldn't even get the chance to meet Buffett, let alone be treated to dinner by him.

Everyone present understood this principle, and the power dynamic in the room was crystal clear.

"Mr. Su, you're surprisingly young," Buffett began to flatter him. "Looking at all the wealthy people in the world, none are as outstanding as you."

Sitting beside Buffett was a young man, his son Edward.

Edward looked at Su Xuan with immense admiration. Of all the young men who had dined with his father, Su Xuan was the wealthiest and the most handsome. Compared to him, Edward, despite being born into riches, felt incredibly inadequate.

After the dishes were served and they'd had a glass of wine, Su Xuan got down to business. "Why do you want to invest in my company?"

"It's because I heard about your past involvement in China's courier industry..." Buffett began to explain his reasoning. He believed that if Su Xuan could merge China's courier business with FedEx's operations, FedEx's future would be unimaginable. After all, it was well-known that China's courier industry was world-leading. If his investment was successful, the returns would be astonishing.

"Also..." Buffett glanced at his son, Edward. "If you're willing, Mr. Su, I can have my son personally manage this investment. It would be an opportunity for him to learn from you."

Su Xuan turned his gaze to Edward. "Are you pursuing Alice?"

Edward shivered.
