Chapter 3029 Theory of Per Capita Living Space

"So, the money you have now is actually a safety net of savings that you previously kept overseas?"

Chen Xile realized what was happening and responded with a smile.

"Yeah, more or less," Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Oh, I see! Hey, you should have said so earlier! We thought you had nothing and were wasting money!"

After hearing this, Chen Xile was much more accepting.

Consider this: at his peak, Chen Mo was the world's richest man and a top star. It's understandable that he still has some assets overseas.

But how much money does this cheapskate father still have left overseas?

Chen Xile pondered, estimating it must be at least two or three billion.

Otherwise, how could he buy a 2 million yuan house without feeling the pinch?

It's fair to say that Chen Mo's extravagant spending spree today has left him somewhat stunned.

"So, I really am a super-rich second-generation heir!"

Two or three billion was already the limit of Chen Xile's imagination, and he felt it was an astronomical figure.

With such a wealthy father, the Chen family's life finally improved, and the mother no longer had to work so hard to support that shell company.

At this moment, Chen Xile felt more relaxed than ever before.

Having a good dad can bring such happiness!

Chen Mo didn't say anything stupid like, "Just because I don't have money, does that mean you won't be close to me?"

He hasn't raised any children in 20 years, so why should he expect the children to be close to him as soon as they meet?

Moreover, in reality, it's not easy for a father who doesn't have money to be close to his children.

Especially when children grow up and need money, if you are a father without money, your children can't consult you when they have problems, because there's nothing you can do but tell them to work harder.

If you're a dad who can arrange everything for your child—cars, houses, jobs—and provide them with a substantial allowance every month, then unless your child is an idiot, they'll know whether or not they should be close to you. If your child is disobedient, you can simply cut off their financial support, and after a few months of harsh treatment from society, they'll learn their lesson.

Chen Mo had been observing his children.

Actually, he had been struggling with whether or not to reveal that he was a wealthy man. However, when he saw that the Chen family children were so poor, yet they still pooled their money to rent a house for him, and were willing to support him even though they were not close to him, Chen Mo stopped struggling with it.

The fact that these children have done this shows that they are responsible and sensible children.

Chen Mo also knew that if he directly exposed all his assets, there was a high probability that the children would lose their way in the world of money.

As the saying goes, if one's virtue does not match one's position, disaster will surely follow; if one's wealth does not match one's worth, one will surely suffer losses.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

His wealth would definitely be exposed sooner or later. Before that, Chen Mo decided to expose it little by little and guide the children to control and manage money!

Let them be the masters of money, not its puppets.

For example, when Chen Xile was given land, Chen Mo did not provide him with any further funds, but instead made him take out a mortgage loan himself.

This will definitely make Chen Xile more dedicated to the company and give him a greater sense of accomplishment for his achievements.

"Okay, I've said everything I needed to say. In short, you know you're a rich kid now, so you don't need to worry about making a living at all."

"From now on, you need to get used to your status as a rich person, but don't get too arrogant. After all, my business in China has been completely taken over by others, and I'm no longer at my peak."

"in the country, your father has many, many rivals."

Chen Mo spoke earnestly.

"Dad, I understand."

You must have offended a lot of people when you were the richest man or the most famous star.

There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. I'm not the kind of arrogant and domineering spoiled brat who would cause trouble for no reason.

Chen Xile responded.

Even if Chen Mo still has two or three billion, so what?

He would definitely be considered a very wealthy person among ordinary people.

But in the eyes of truly important people, Chen Mo was still nothing.

Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, Chen Xile saw the wine in the bar area.

Thinking of the rich people in TV dramas drinking while looking down at the lights of thousands of homes, Chen Xile suddenly became interested: "Dad, do you pay for the drinks here?"

"Go ahead and drink. Remember you're a rich kid. Spend as much money as you want on food, drinks, and entertainment, as long as you don't get involved in illegal activities like gambling or drugs," Chen Mo said.

"Yay!" Chen Xile grabbed a bottle of red wine and two glasses, poured one for Chen Mo, and then poured one for herself.

"Dad, come on, let's have a drink!"

Chen Xile grinned foolishly.

"Walk."

Chen Mo touched the glass and elegantly drank his wine.

Wow! This red wine is really delicious!

The red wine I used to drink was all sweet. I never knew that real red wine tasted like this!

It has a sweet aftertaste, a slight tartness, a hint of sweetness, and a fruity aroma; the flavor lingers in your mouth and doesn't fade long after you drink it!

Looking at the night view outside, Chen Xile couldn't help but sigh, "So this is what life is like for the rich! They really enjoy it!"

"I've heard before that the biggest difference between the poor and the rich is actually the average living space per person."

Although everyone lives in the same type of house, the rich have hundreds of square meters of living space per person, while the poor theoretically have zero living space in their rented houses, with only about ten square meters of living space.

Rich people drive to work, and the whole car belongs to them. They don't have to crowd with others. Getting into the car is like entering their own private space, like going home. Poor people, on the other hand, squeeze onto buses and subways and have no private space of their own.

Needless to say, the office space for the poor is only one or two square meters at most; while the offices for the rich can be as large as one or two hundred square meters.

Today, I truly understand the meaning of those words!

Chen Mo smiled faintly and said, "Xile, Dad is very happy that you have grasped this principle at such a young age."

Many people may never realize in their lives that the "average living space" for each person is vastly different.

After a few drinks, Chen Xile's face flushed slightly, and he exclaimed again, "What kind of wine is this, Dad? It tastes so good!"

And being slightly tipsy doesn't give you a headache; enjoying the night view in a slightly dizzy state is so comfortable!

My whole being feels completely relaxed; I haven't felt this comfortable in a long time!

"Oh, this is called Romanée-Conti."

Chen Mo smiled.

"What? Romanée-Conti?"

Chen Xile was instantly jolted awake.

This is hailed as the king of wines!!!

The owner of Chen Xile's company has a bottle of Romanée-Conti produced 10 years ago that he treasures at home and shows off to everyone he meets.

Thinking back to his boastful display of guzzling peony like a cow, Chen Xile felt a little regretful.

This kind of fine wine needs to be savored slowly and carefully!

However, he didn't pay attention to those details anymore, and instead cautiously asked, "How much is this... how much does this bottle of Romanée-Conti cost?"

"This bottle was produced 15 years ago, and it's priced at around 5 Baguo coins."

Chen Mo smiled faintly and said, "If you like it, open a couple more bottles."

"Take... take the young master?"

"puff!"

Chen Xile couldn't hold back and sprayed red wine directly onto the carpet with a "plop".
