As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Xiao Zheng had been bitten by Sophia for a long time. If he still trusted Sophia completely, it would not be because he was not smart enough, but because his brain was not fully developed.
The same goal?
Xiao Zheng did not believe that a woman like Sophia, who would not wake up without benefits, was only here to make friends with Itō. If that was the case, she could have sent Little Ruth to make a trip here. Moreover, why was it such a coincidence that she came here the day before he arrived in Tokyo?
Was this calculative woman, who seemed to be unwilling to give up until the last drop of his blood, trustworthy?
In any case, Xiao Zheng only listened to 30% of what Sofia said and guessed the rest.
"In Tokyo, or in the whole of Japan, Itō's status is no less than Hua Xia's Lin Chaotian," Sophia said as she curled up on Xiao Zheng like a golden cat.
"Is it really that exaggerated?" Xiao Zheng curled his lips. "My father-in-law is the richest man in Hua Xia."
"The richest man?" Sophia smiled and said casually. "In the official channels, my net worth is only 10 billion USD. But in reality? "
"In reality?" Xiao Zheng lowered his head slightly and asked with interest.
"Double," Sophia said casually.
"F * ck!" Xiao Zheng couldn't help but curse out loud, and his tongue stuck out. "Isn't that close to 200 billion?"
"Are you surprised?" Sophia said calmly. "In America, even fresh graduates don't believe that Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. After all, you have met many big shots. Are you really that naive? "
Xiao Zheng rubbed his nose and said with a bitter smile, "I just did not expect the gap to be so big."
"Of course, the gap between ordinary businessmen is definitely not as big as mine," Sophia said with a smile. "After all, I am the person in charge of Fox Hunting's Bei Mei region. If there were no benefits, do you think I would spend so much effort and even risk my life to stabilize my position in Fox Hunting? "
Xiao Zheng understood and completely understood.
How could a mega corporation like Jefferson be short of money? Since they were not short of money, why did they have to interact with an underground organization like the Fox Hunters and even cooperate with them? There was only one goal, profit. Huge profits!
If fox hunting did not bring as much wealth to Jefferson as legitimate businesses, would Sophia and her father still be so passionate about it?
"On the surface, Lin Chaotian is indeed the richest man in Hua Xia," Sofia said slowly. "But according to the information I have, he is at most ranked fifth."
"So low?" Xiao Zheng asked in disbelief.
This time, he was truly shocked.
Xiao Zheng could be considered to have some understanding of what Sofia had said previously. However, Lin Chaotian's ranking in Hua Xia was beyond his expectations.
"How many years has he been accumulating?" Sophia looked up slightly, her slender hand gently caressing Xiao Zheng's abdomen. "Hua Xia has been founded for sixty or seventy years. That's enough to create a batch of veteran families and rich nobles. "
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly and reluctantly accepted Sofia's explanation. He continued to ask, "Since you can accurately know Lin Chaotian's ranking, you should know who the top four people are, right?"
"You either know or have heard of most of them." Sofia smiled. "It's not an exaggeration to say that you are the man with the most luck I have ever seen. You were able to befriend most of the top people in the East in just a year. "
"What's Lu Dashan's ranking?" Xiao Zheng picked up a tycoon he was more familiar with and asked.
"Sixth," Sofia said patiently. "This person is talented, but not ambitious. If he hadn't retired ten years ago, he would be able to fight for second place. "
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly, agreeing with Sofia's evaluation of Lu Dashan.
Indeed, Lu Dashan was nothing like the tycoon in Xiao Zheng's imagination. He was also a far cry from the unfathomable top people like Lin Chaotian. No matter how he looked at him, he did not look like a man with a net worth of hundreds of billions. Instead, he looked more like a chef who ran a kitchen all year round.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and asked directly, "Then tell me, who's number one?"
"Number one?" Sofia narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone tinged with jealousy. "Not only do you know him, you're very familiar with him."
"Lord Ye?" Xiao Zheng asked with a straight face.
Among all the important people that Xiao Zheng had come into contact with, Duke Ye had the most resources and the most influence. He was also the only one who could suppress the younger generation like Lin Chaotian and Lu Dashan. If he wasn't number one, who else would be qualified?
"One of his legs is already in the coffin. Does he want to bring all his wealth into the coffin by coveting the seat of the richest man? "Sofia used a rather sharp tone to refute Xiao Zheng's guess.
"Be more respectful to the elderly," Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "After all, he's my mother-in-law's father."
"You haven't even married into the family, and you're already in such a hurry to show your loyalty?" Sofia rebuked.
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and asked, "You haven't answered my question."
Sofia pouted and said in a measured tone, "The old man transferred all his assets to his precious daughter's name a few years ago. That is, your mother-in-law's name. "
"In other words, my mother-in-law is now the richest man in Hua Xia?" Xiao Zheng asked, flabbergasted.
"She and Ye Canghua combined are the wealthiest. If they were separated, they wouldn't even be in the top five, "Sofia said slowly. "But the current Hua Xia has already begun to take the shape of a wealthy family, and the ranking is basically the ranking of the family. That's why I'm ranked first in the Ye Family in Hua Xia. "
Xiao Zheng took a puff of his cigarette and mumbled to himself, "No wonder my mother-in-law is so domineering. She's already the number one figure in the world. "
"She's a monk. No matter how much money she has, it's meaningless," Sofia said calculatedly.
"You can't say that," Xiao Zheng said solemnly. "No matter if she's a monk or an enlightened person with a pure heart and few desires, as long as she has money, she'll return to being a secular emperor sooner or later."
He thought to himself, Even if my mother-in-law doesn't want to leave the mountain, with the constant harassment from those influential figures, I believe that one day, my mother-in-law will be asked to leave the mountain by those influential figures. Even if she doesn't return to the secular world, she'll definitely take over some worldly possessions.
After talking about these heavy topics for Xiao Zheng, Sofia turned her head slightly and asked with a smile, "I have an appointment with Itō tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to come?"
"Me?" Xiao Zheng was wary at first, but he couldn't help but be curious and impulsive. "What identity?"
"How about the gigolo that I keep?" Sofia said with a smile.
Xiao Zheng's expression turned serious, "I'm sorry, there's already a rich woman who's spending a lot of money to keep me."
"Hahaha —"
Sofia laughed out loud. After laughing for a long time, she slowly regained her composure and said, "I'm not being modest, at least until now. Lin Huayin isn't qualified to compare with me. In front of me, she's just a poor girl. "
