Chapter 843: Key Information
Su Yang answered Chu Xia’s call awkwardly.
Chu Xia’s pleasant voice came through the earpiece. “Mr. CEO! Good afternoon…”
Su Yang coughed twice. “Good afternoon.”
Chu Xia smiled and said, “Congratulations on becoming the fourth richest person in the country!”
Su Yang felt his face hurting.
“Thank you.”
After saying that, Su Yang felt that he had to explain something. He said, “But, Chu Xia… I really didn’t lie to you before. I just misjudged my own assets.”
After explaining, Su Yang thought about it and weakly added, “Although, it seems like it doesn’t make any difference no matter what you choose. After all, there are so many people participating, so it’s going to be too difficult to win the prize.”
Hearing this, Chu Xia chuckled and said, “That’s exactly what I wanted to tell you! Mr. CEO! I won it! I won a glass phone!”
Su Yang was confused.
“Didn’t you choose the top 10 option? How did you win?”
Through the screen, Chu Xia stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and explained, “Actually, I chose the top five option instead. After listening to your analysis that day, I felt that you were definitely being humble. Also, you said that you weren’t too far off from being in the top five, so I thought about it and still chose that in the end.
“However… The reason I chose this option was because of your analysis. So, you don’t need to feel embarrassed. You’re half responsible for me winning!”
Su Yang was confused.
‘What the heck!’
Su Yang blocked the camera with his hand and said, “Wait a minute. Let me sort something out first.”
Su Yang lowered his head and started to recall the whole story.
‘Initially, it was Chu Xia who wanted to win the award, but she had to know the right choice in order for her to win. Which was why she came to ask me, the “person in question”.
‘As for myself, I analyzed my situation and asked her to choose top 10. Then, she thought about it and used my analysis to choose top 5 instead.
‘So…
‘I analyzed my situation as seriously as possible, but she ended up ignoring me altogether?
‘Or…
‘Have I omitted the wrong answers for her?’
At that thought, Su Yang was a little confused.
‘What’s even more confusing is that… Chu Xia actually won?
‘I remember that there were already millions of people who chose top five at the time.
‘Chu Xia actually won with that kind of probability?
‘She’s the chosen one!’
Hence, what else could Su Yang say except for… “Congratulations.
“That’s right! I do own half of your winnings! If I hadn’t analyzed it for you, you wouldn’t have chosen the correct answer!” Su Yang boasted shamelessly about things that he did not believe. He felt like his nose was about to grow.
However, Chu Xia seemed to really think so. She happily said, “That’s right, that’s right! It’s all because of your help! So, I plan to treat you to a meal! Are you free?”
Since Chu Xia had invited him, Su Yang naturally had to be free even if he wasn’t. Therefore, the two of them made an appointment and decided to meet up in the next two days.
Of course, given Su Yang’s current identity, the two of them decided to find a more private place to book their table and enjoy their private date.
Otherwise, Chu Xia would probably be exposed on the internet soon.
Although Chu Xia and Su Yang were in love with each other, they didn’t want the whole internet to know about their relationship. That would be too invasive of their privacy.
After the matter was settled, Su Yang and Chu Xia exchanged a few more sweet words before hanging up reluctantly.
After hanging up, Su Yang sent Chu Xia a new WeChat account and phone number. This would be Su Yang’s personal WeChat and phone number in the future.
After receiving Jiang Yan’s reminder, Su Yang had already prepared everything. Since his WeChat was exposed, Su Yang decided to change his WeChat account and his phone number to avoid any disturbances.
As for his current contact details, Su Yang would continue to use them, but they would become his “work number”. In the future, he could add them to his friends when he met them.
Jiang Yan’s message was timely, allowing Su Yang to arrange the situation more easily.
Other than changing his contact details, Su Yang had arranged everything else as well.
For example, Su Yang had already talked to Zhao Licheng and Li Zijun about the invitations from various departments, provinces, and media outlets. Li Zijun would be the one to review the publicity. Those who should participate would participate. Those who should not participate would be rejected in the name of Jiadian Group.
The investment was the same, but Zhao Licheng was in charge of it. Zhao Licheng could confirm with Little Hus after the preliminary screening and let Little Hus use its power to sniff out the projects.
If there was something suitable, they would do it. If not, they would give up.
This would not only save Su Yang time and energy but also prevent Su Yang from interacting with these people. Even if Zhao Licheng and Li Zijun made any mistakes, there would be a buffer.
Of course, Su Yang believed that nothing would go wrong with these two talents.
Hence, Su Yang was able to pass the test for those who had just entered the ranks of the top tycoons.
Actually, Su Yang was also very curious about this “calamity”. He was clearly a wealthy man before, and the wealth he had was something that ordinary people could never spend in their entire lives. Why didn’t he have so much money and invitations back then?
Now that he was in the front row, he was like a flower that had been caught in the scent, attracting a whole lot of “bees and butterflies”.
Little Deeny answered Su Yang’s question. She looked up some information on the internet, combined it with the books on sociology and psychology, and roughly analyzed the cause of this incident.
She felt that the reason why no one came to look for Su Yang was not because Su Yang did not have money, but because his ranking was low and could not attract attention. Furthermore, no one dared to confirm if Su Yang really had such wealth.
After all, the 163rd place was too low. It was so low that no one knew if the World’s Billionaire List had been seriously investigated.
After all, the rich had a lot of money, but they also had a lot of debt. Whether they were really rich or fake, whether they had a lot of money or more debt, if one did not know the inside story, they would be easily tricked.
Even though they claimed to be rich, there were more than one or two people who were unable to repay their debts. Wasn’t this how a certain celebrity in the entertainment industry was cheated? Now, she had no choice but to work to repay her husband’s debts.
When it came to the top of the list, everyone was placed under the spotlight. The list had to be careful and cautious. The probability of a mistake was too low.
Hence, everyone believed in Su Yang’s wealth.
Coupled with the promotional effect of the World’s Billionaire List, it was understandable that so many people, departments, places, and media would suddenly come looking for him.
After all, even if it was a national department, it was still the work of normal people. It was unrealistic for them to investigate the rich one by one. Most of the time, when they needed a list of the rich, they would use the most authoritative list.
This was one of the ways capitalists could influence politics.
Su Yang seemed to have understood everything.
After that, he asked Little Deeny to help him sort through the information. Recently, he had mentioned the name list and conversations of his key personnel. He planned to see if there were any who harbored ill intentions, or if they could be better prepared beforehand.
With Su Yang’s “partial” ability, Little Deeny had already become a transfer station for Su Yang’s Silver Ability. Coupled with the dozen doppelgangers she had, it did not take long for Su Yang to have a thick stack of information.
Su Yang looked at the information that was as thick as a book and said in surprise, “This is all about me?”
Then, he added, “Little Deeny, what I want is a conversation between the key personnel. Not everyone’s.”
Little Deeny ejected a virtual screen in front of Su Yang. The screen was split into two parts: a book on the left, and a mountain of books on the right…
Little Deeny then said, “Master, on the left is the dialogue and list of key personnel you requested for. On the right is all of it. So… It really has been filtered.”
Su Yang was speechless.
‘I wonder if Little Deeny has a different definition of key personnel compared to mine…’
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Little Deeny say, “Master, the key personnel I’m referring to are the top 30 richest people in the world, provincial level or above.
“As for the other countries, it would be the top three richest people and big shots who are as powerful as the country.
“Managers of a large international organization as well.”
“These people are people who can influence the region, country, and even the world.
“I did not include any others.”
Su Yang was speechless.
That seemed to make sense.
However, there was too much information…
Therefore, he thought about it and said, “Let me sift through information about Japan and China first.”
Little Deeny made an OK sign.
As she gestured, the pieces of paper flew up, and in a moment, they were split into three stacks. One stack had one-third of the original, and the other only had a few thin pieces. The last stack had the most.
Little Deeny pointed at the first two stacks. “Master, these are from China and Japan. I rank them according to the importance of the personnel, the topmost being the most important.”
Su Yang nodded and picked up the documents.
The first few pages of the information were simple comments made by the big shots of the country when they were listening to the report. The next few pages were some discussions about Su Yang by the big shots of the country’s department. Some were discussing the selection, some were asking their subordinates about Su Yang’s situation, and some were purely chatting.
Su Yang read through the information one by one before flipping to page 11. There was a conversation that Su Yang was very interested in. It was a conversation between three top tycoons: Boss Ma from Tencent, Liu Dong from JD.Com, and Wang Xing from Meituan.
‘What were the three tycoons talking about?’
Su Yang was curious as well.
Then, he looked down at the conversation that Little Deeny had recorded, and realized… ‘It seems like Brother Ma is interested in me and wants to invite me to go abroad.’
However, after the chat, he decided to postpone the meeting with the intention of wanting to see himself develop when faced with that minor obstruction.
Su Yang smiled at their conversation and did not bother anymore.
Because this conversation did not have much effect on him.
After all, his next step was to develop Japan. Tencent’s development in Japan was not great, even going so far as to say that there was no development at all.
In Japan’s xenophobic market, only Chengdu, Hongdu, and Haier had improved a little. They were mainly used for communication devices, linked to electronic devices, and Haier was a small appliance.
But compared to the development in Japan, Japan was more like a small business.
These few well-developed enterprises were already in such a state, not to mention Tencent. Therefore, Su Yang did not take Brother Ma’s invitation to heart at all. If he had the time, he could have a chat with them and meet the people who used games to cheat him of his money. That would be interesting. However, if he wanted to cooperate with them, then so be it…
At least there was no hurry now.
Perhaps he could borrow Brother Ma’s influence when he wanted to develop his career in another country. Su Yang remembered that Brother Ma had been overseas for many years. Even if he did not develop his career, he should have some connections…
After thinking about Brother Ma’s matter, Su Yang scrolled to the back and realized that the rest of the content was all about him and the rich and powerful.
There was valuable information and some small talk, but no matter how valuable the content was, it could be used to analyze one’s attitude toward oneself.
Generally speaking, other than a small group of people, most people were curious and friendly toward themselves.
Putting down the documents from China, Su Yang picked up the documents from Japan.
Compared to China, Japan had much less information. There were only a few pages, and the first page was about a person called Yagawa Masaru attacking him.
Su Yang frowned as he watched the entire conversation. Then, he asked Little Deeny, who was standing at the side, “Who is this person?”
Little Deeny introduced, “Master, he’s the richest man in Japan. He’s considered a second-generation heir. When he was 33 years old, he took over the Swift Marketing Group that was worth hundreds of millions from his father. Then, he continued to develop.
“Under his leadership, Swift Marketing Group has 1,632 stores in the world. They are the best in the Asian apparel retail industry and second in the global apparel retail industry.
“That corporation’s most famous brand is Uniqlo. It’s said that every three people in Japan have a Uniqlo jacket.
“Of course, this brand is also very famous in the country. After all, a very famous incident happened last year…”
Su Yang was speechless as he remembered that he had even secretly blocked Little Deeny. Then he researched the video and did a thorough study on it.
Little Deeny did not notice anything wrong with Su Yang. She continued, “Yagawa Masaru is already 76 years old. With the Swift Marketing Group, his net worth is close to 100 billion yuan. He is ranked among the top 50 richest people in the world.”
Su Yang curled his lips when he heard Little Deeny’s explanation. “The richest man in the country is only in the top 50 in the world? Japan is really small.
“But this guy actually wants to invite me to Japan’s market and eat me up. I wonder if he’s senile or delusional.”
At this point, Su Yang thought for a moment and said, “Ask Zhao Licheng to pay attention to this company’s invitation. Since they want to bait us, we can very well beat them at their own game…”
