Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

At eight o'clock in the morning, the early winter sunlight streamed into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A white porcelain plate holds fried eggs and bacon, with a cup of warm coffee beside it.

Lin Wan had changed into a navy blue business suit, her long, beautiful legs encased in flesh-colored stockings and black high heels, exuding a sharp and aloof aura.

"Good morning, Mr. Chen."

Lin Wan greeted Chen Mo calmly as he slowly descended the stairs.

If you didn't see her slightly reddened earlobes, the absurd scene in the bathroom yesterday would seem as if it had never happened.

"Good morning." Chen Mo pulled out a chair and sat down, casually picking up his coffee and taking a sip, remaining noncommittal about Lin Wan's feigned ignorance.

Lin Wan handed over a prepared itinerary while reporting:

"Mr. Chen, I've already made an appointment with Liu Xin. We'll meet at 11 a.m. at the Yulong Manor at the foot of the mountain in the county town."

"Royal Dragon Manor?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, that's a private estate that Liu Xin built a few years ago at great expense. It's not open to the public and is used specifically to entertain distinguished guests. Liu Xin also invited several top officials from the county's land bureau and mining bureau. He said he wanted to finalize all of Xingxin Mining's exclusive mining rights and land planning boundaries over the dinner table before construction started."

Chen Mo nodded, not surprised by these things. In 2014, in a small place like Jiangcheng County, far from the core circle, many things were decided over dinner parties where people sang and drank and called each other brothers.

Liu Xin is a local strongman and knows this all too well.

Chen Mo slowly finished the last sip of his coffee, pulled out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and smiled faintly: "Let's go, let's meet this local tyrant. I also want to see how big this drinking party he's put on."

At 10:40, the black and ferocious Hummer H2 smoothly drove out of Guanlan Yujing.

Chen Mo rested one hand on the steering wheel and headed straight for the Royal Dragon Manor at the foot of the mountain in the county town.

Meanwhile, in front of the imposing antique-style iron gate of the Royal Dragon Manor, the wind was howling loudly.

Liu Xin, dressed in a sleek black mink coat, with a cigarette dangling from her lips, paced back and forth at the doorway, looking somewhat agitated.

Behind him stood two middle-aged men, both over fifty, wearing dark jackets, their hands tucked into their sleeves, occasionally breathing warm air into their palms.

These two are Director Ma from the County Land Bureau and Director Zhou from the Mining Bureau.

Normally, in Jiangcheng County, these two are definitely powerful figures who are fawned over by everyone.

But today, they stood there for almost half an hour, not daring to show the slightest impatience on their faces.

Because last night, Liu Xin privately revealed the truth to them.

Even now, Liu Xin's heart still trembles when she thinks about the background information she found out.

During the few days Chen Mo was in Kyoto, Liu Xin used all her connections and resources to find out Chen Mo's background.

But when the half-page investigation report was placed on his desk, Liu Xin's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

His parents both work at a township health center, while he himself is just a senior high school student at the county's No. 1 High School.

That very night, upon seeing the report, Liu Xin sat in his office, drenched in cold sweat. He immediately launched into a tirade against his trusted cronies who had handled the matter: "Go to hell, you rural doctor! Go to hell, you high school senior! Are you trying to fool us?! A mere kid from an ordinary doctor's family, able to casually toss around tens of millions without batting an eye? And have the president of Huaguo Bank treated like a grandson?!"

Having spent half his life in the underworld, Liu Xin instantly filled in the blanks in his mind with a shocking drama—this must be the illegitimate son of some powerful figure, or even some super tycoon from the coast!

The cleaner and more ordinary the official files appear on the surface, the more likely it is that the waters behind them are incredibly deep and dangerous!

Not to mention the secret the branch manager of Huaguo Bank's Jiangcheng branch revealed last night after getting drunk, as he put his arm around his neck:

"Old Liu, I'm only saying this because I consider you a brother... A few days ago, the big bosses behind the two top domestic private equity firms with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan, Jiuding and Zexi, personally called the head office's senior management, wanting to cooperate with President Chen to launch a fund and use internal funds! That's a scale of tens or hundreds of billions of yuan! A single hair from their head could crush your Longxin Group into a pile of mud!"

These words shattered Liu Xin's rough and arrogant attitude.

At this moment, in the eyes of Liu Xin and the two bureau chiefs, what is about to happen is not just a simple partnership.

"Boom!"

From the distant mountain road, a deep, thunderous roar of a V8 engine echoed.

Liu Xin shuddered, quickly threw the half-smoked cigarette butt on the ground, crushed it with his shoe, and instantly plastered a smile on his face: "They're here! Two bureau chiefs, the main character has arrived!"

The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance of the manor.

As the car door opened, Lin Wan stepped out of the passenger seat first. Her dark blue suit paired with her long, slender legs encased in stockings made her look so stunning that it was almost unbearable to look directly at her.

Chen Mo then got out of the car, dressed in understated black casual clothes, with one corner of his trench coat fluttering slightly in the wind, his eyes calm.

"Oh, Mr. Chen! You must be tired from your journey!"

Liu Xin took a few steps forward, bent slightly at the waist, and stretched out her arms straight.

Chen Mo was suddenly confused by what he saw.

The last time we met, Liu Xin still had that arrogant attitude. What happened? She suddenly changed her personality after just a few days?

He was greeted at the door by two leaders.

Although Chen Mo was surprised, he remained outwardly calm, shook hands with Liu Xin, and then said, "Mr. Liu, how have you been? I really appreciate it, Mr. Liu, for parting with this Hummer. I love it."

"Not at all, I'm glad you like it," Mr. Liu laughed, then turned to look at the two people behind him.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Director Ma, the head of the Jiangcheng County Land Bureau, and this is Director Zhou of the Mining Bureau. The two directors are here specifically to celebrate the establishment of Xingxin Mining and also to meet you, their boss."

At this moment, Director Ma and Director Zhou also put aside their usual official airs in the county and took the initiative to step forward, with friendly smiles on their faces.

"Chen Mo... oh no, Mr. Chen, seeing is believing." Director Ma chuckled and extended his hand, a shrewd glint in his eyes. "Deputy County Head Wang has been talking about you every day in meetings these past few days, saying that our county has produced an extraordinary young entrepreneur. Meeting you today, it's true that a hero emerges from among the young."

"Director Ma, Director Zhou, just call me Xiao Chen."

Chen Mo shook hands with both bureau chiefs, his expression neither arrogant nor impatient: "It's just a small matter, I'm sorry to have made you two laugh. It's windy outside, shall we talk inside?"

"Yes, yes, yes, look at my head, I was just too happy! Mr. Chen, please come in, please come in!"

Liu Xin quickly led the way, inviting everyone into the main hall of the manor.

Upon entering the hall, the underfloor heating instantly dispelled the chill of early winter.

A large round table made of rosewood was placed in the center, with cold dishes and tea already prepared on it.

When they sat down, Liu Xin insisted on pushing Chen Mo to the head seat at the very front, and Director Ma and Director Zhou chimed in, half-jokingly insisting that Chen Mo sit in the seat of honor.

Seeing this, Chen Mo found it somewhat amusing, but he didn't refuse too much.

He wondered to himself if they had also found out about the Primordial Capital.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo glanced at Lin Wan beside him without making a sound.

Lin Wan was sitting to the side, her long, beautiful legs encased in stockings slightly crossed, her hands clasped together on a folder on her knees.

That's probably not the case. Lin Wan only has a superficial understanding of Taichu Capital; at most, she knows that she's involved in stocks.

"Come on, Mr. Chen, let me, Lao Liu, toast you first!"

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the atmosphere at the dinner table quickly became lively under Liu Xin's guidance.

Liu Xin held a full glass of Moutai, raising it with both hands:

"In the past two weeks, all the formalities for our joint venture, Xingxin Mining, have been finalized. The 60 million yuan in start-up capital is now in our account, and we've successfully acquired the land in the eastern suburbs of the county. It's worth celebrating! Cheers!"

Director Ma and Director Zhou, who were standing nearby, quickly raised their glasses to join in the fun: "Yes, wishing General Manager Chen a resounding success! This prime location will surely bring in a fortune!"

Chen Mo smiled, picked up the small wine glass in front of him, and took a sip:

"Mr. Liu, now that we've secured the land, let's get straight to the point. Did you bring the planning maps?"

"I brought it! I brought it! How could I not bring it!"

Upon hearing that they were talking about serious matters, Liu Xin quickly gave a wink to her confidant behind her.

Soon, a panoramic planning map of the barren mountains in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng County, more than two meters long and covered with various red lines and contour lines, was slowly unfolded on a large round table made of rosewood.

Liu Xin pointed to the two highlighted areas, A and B, exhaled a smoke ring, and a glint of excitement flashed in his eyes:

"Mr. Chen, my experienced exploration team, along with veteran geological experts from the provincial capital, worked through the night to clear out that rocky wasteland. They discovered something amazing in these two areas! The coal seams here are deeper than we expected, and they're all top-grade coking coal. Just one shovelful is all it takes for open-pit mining! It's time-saving and labor-saving; in just three months, a steady stream of plump coking coal can be converted into real money!"

He really didn't expect that the location Chen Mo casually mentioned would actually yield coking coal; this was a huge piece of meat.
