Chapter 1772: You are really willing to tell me

Lai Qinghua's friend was named Fei Jianzhong.

Fei Jianzhong smuggled into the United States to make a living at the age of 18. By the time he retired at the age of eighty, he had created a business empire worth at least 400 billion US dollars, which was a legendary existence in the entire North American Chinese circle.

However, this person did not leave any trace on the Forbes list.

He was the super hidden rich man often mentioned in the Western upper-class society.

The funds that can be counted on the Forbes list are mostly founders and major shareholders of listed companies. Only the assets of such people are difficult to hide.

For example, Bill Gates, who long dominated the world's richest man position, since Microsoft chose to go public, most of Microsoft's financial information must be disclosed to the outside world, and the market value of the company can be checked at any time in the securities market. Moreover, how many Microsoft shares he holds is also publicly disclosed, so just do a simple multiplication and division to know how much his Microsoft shares are worth.

In addition, how many listed companies he has under his name are basically public information. Finding these companies one by one and summing them up is his approximate net worth.

This kind of problem, without Forbes, any person who knows middle school mathematics can calculate it.

However, there is still a considerable group of hidden rich people in this world. Although they have countless industries under their hands, none of the companies choose to go public.

The reason for not going public is that they don't want the outside world to know their identity and wealth.

Because once a company doesn't choose to go public, it has no obligation to disclose its revenue status to the outside world, so the outside world has no way of knowing how much this company is worth.

Moreover, they mostly disperse their companies in multiple offshore regions around the world. The protection of corporate information in these places is comparable to Swiss banks, so no one knows how much wealth they have.

Fei Jianzhong met Lai Qinghua when he was young, and this friendship has lasted for more than sixty years.

And the reason why Fei Jianzhong could go smoothly in the business field, besides his own efforts and ability, was also inseparable from Lai Qinghua's guidance.

Over the past few decades, the world has undergone many major changes, each of which represented a huge opportunity, and Fei Jianzhong almost without exception ate the dividends.

This also made his relationship with Lai Qinghua even closer.

Fei Jianzhong struggled until he was eighty years old before retiring. After he was eighty, he sought longevity all over the world.

He sought longevity not out of superstition, but because his achievements in this life were too brilliant, so he really couldn't bear to leave, and had no courage to face death.

In fact, many entrepreneurs who were as successful as him were trying every means to pursue longevity.

However, their way of pursuing longevity was very different from the emperors who sought immortality in ancient times.

Most of these entrepreneurs pursue longevity from science.

For example, a certain Chen-surname richest man in China once invested billions of US dollars to study the human brain.

Many people said that he invested so much money to study the brain in the hope of realizing the immortality of the human brain.

And compared to that Chen-surname richest man, Fei Jianzhong was definitely no less than him in this regard.

Over the years, he had successively invested at least 2 billion US dollars in research funding for one of the world's most cutting-edge organ transplant laboratories, just to explore whether humans could achieve the goal of doubling their lifespan through large-scale organ transplantation.

And in his life, he had also accepted multiple organ transplant surgeries because of various illnesses.

For ordinary people, after so many major surgeries, I am afraid they wouldn't be able to live to seventy.

But Fei Jianzhong was able to live to over ninety after so many organ transplant surgeries. This laboratory made a great contribution.

At the same time, he also invested in a brain research plan similar to that of the Chen-surname richest man, hoping that when the flesh could not be saved, the human brain and human consciousness could be preserved, allowing it to realize immortality in consciousness;

Besides this, he also invested no less than 1 billion US dollars in the scientific research technology of human body cryopreservation.

The purpose was to freeze his body on the eve of human body death, when other paths were not working, and wait for longevity technology to mature in the future before thawing and resurrecting his body.

In short, he planned multiple directions for himself, hoping that one of them would succeed.

It's a pity that the research he invested in, although there were some scientific research results, was still very far from the longevity he wanted.

This was why he was extremely eager for Lai Qinghua's "opportunity".

And precisely because of Lai Qinghua's keeping his mouth shut, he hadn't had any communication with Lai Qinghua for several months.

Suddenly receiving Lai Qinghua's call made the elderly him stunned for a while.

Originally not intending to answer this call, he thought for a moment and pressed the answer button, saying in a lukewarm tone: "Hello, what's the matter?"

Lai Qinghua was not surprised by his attitude and laughed: "Old Fei, how have you been lately?"

"Not very good." Fei Jianzhong hummed through his nose and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm about to die. The doctor said my body functions are almost at the end. Even if there are no illnesses, I might die naturally at some time. Unlike you, you found a method that can make you twenty years younger all of a sudden, but you are not willing to share it with your old friend of sixty years!"

Lai Qinghua said embarrassedly: "Old Fei, I know you resent me in your heart. The reason why I didn't tell you about this matter is also because I must abide by my promise!"

"Your promise?" Fei Jianzhong asked angrily: "Is your promise more important than your old friend of sixty years? If I were you, I would rather bear the curse of breaking my word than pull my old friend!"

Lai Qinghua said helplessly: "Old Fei, you have to understand, even if I tell you this opportunity, it's useless. If it's not your destiny to get it, then no matter how hard you try, it's useless."

Fei Jianzhong sneered: "Don't think I don't know the situation. Didn't you just go to China for four years? The opportunity you mentioned must be in China! If you still treat me as a friend, just tell me a name! If you tell me who let you be twenty years younger, I will go find him immediately! I don't believe I don't have the ability to make him loosen his mouth!"

The reason why Fei Jianzhong was so confident was because he was indeed too rich.

The richest Chinese on the Forbes list didn't have half of his assets.

Even the Ye family and the Su family, the strongest in China, couldn't compare to his assets.

Therefore, he naturally thought that as long as he knew who the opportunity was with, he would definitely be able to make the other party give him the same opportunity.

Lai Qinghua sighed: "Old Fei, some people's destiny is far above yours. In front of such people, your confidence is no longer confidence, but arrogance..."

Speaking of this, he sighed softly and said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, don't say these, lest you scold me again. Don't you want to know how I got my opportunity? Then I will give you a bottom line."

Fei Jianzhong on the other end of the phone just wanted to scold him. Hearing this, he immediately took a deep breath, and then couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "You... you are really willing to tell me?!"

Lai Qinghua hummed and said seriously: "I called to tell you that the opportunity I got back then was a divine medicine called the Rejuvenating Pill. Just one pill increased my lifespan by at least ten years. If you have fate with it, perhaps you can also encounter it." ===== CHAPTER 1773 =====
