The last address could perhaps be eliminated directly. One reason is that the current plan is already almost perfect, and the other is that it is a private residence, where it would certainly be impossible to realize this latest idea.
He dialed the number of the boss he had met for the first time earlier.
A few minutes later, they met again. The boss seemed a little surprised.
"This entire area around here is contracted by you, right?" Cao Baming got out of the car and said directly to the boss.
"That's right, what's up?"
"I've thought about it again, this villa is still a bit small."
The boss didn't quite understand for a moment, his eyes showing a hint of confusion.
"A bit small? But this is already the largest I have. I really can't do anything about it. And feel free to ask others or inquire elsewhere, I guarantee you won't find anything bigger."
Cao Baming shook his head helplessly. As expected, the boss had misunderstood him again.
"Take me to see other places. What I mean is, I want the entire area around the stadium."
In an instant, the boss had an epiphany.
"A bit small" meant something like this. If he combined several, wouldn't it be bigger?
The backer for this block of streets was someone else. Under the boss's recommendation, Cao Baming obtained this person's phone number.
After looking at several other villa areas near the stadium, they were all pretty much the same, yet each had its own unique characteristics. With this, it seemed like nothing was lacking.
The final paperwork was naturally handed over to Mike, and Cao Baming absolutely refused to waste another minute.
Now, only one last thing remained!
What is the most important thing in life? Without a doubt, it is eating.
Humans are essentially biological beings, and eating is a sacred act that must be treated with great seriousness, not carelessly.
Cao Baming's birthday party is an opportunity that occurs only once a year, and it's even possible that not so many people will come to support him next time.
One cannot be sloppy about food. These people are all superstars, many of whom are wealthy individuals who are not short of money. Naturally, their palates are quite discerning. Using ordinary chefs would certainly not satisfy their appetites.
Having been rich for so long, Cao Baming has gradually realized that making delicious food is not difficult, but the most important thing is to maintain freshness.
And this varies from person to person. More importantly, everyone's taste is different. This means that a dish that one person might rate as a perfect ten could only be rated as a four or even lower by someone else.
This is indeed a problem. With so many people from different countries, how can everyone's appetite be satisfied?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Cao Baming, and he came up with an idea.
Since the guests come from all corners of the globe, the chefs must do the same. Every country in the world needs a group of chefs to be present, and they must prepare at least one of their signature dishes!
And these chefs must undoubtedly be the best chefs in their respective countries. Their qualifications can be judged by their current positions and the various honors they have received.
In this way, the most luxurious banquet in the world will be held here!
The idea is beautiful, and the rest is naturally to implement it!
If it's not possible to invite chefs from all countries, then choose the most important part. But one thing cannot be compromised: the very best chef must come here.
Because he knows that if something is done to the extreme, even a slight deviation can lead to a vast difference; even the difference between first and second place will be worlds apart.
The best chef should cook for him.
Cao Baming had previously experienced Chef Wu's culinary skills in Tangguo, and he was the first to think of him. Although this would be a medley of various delicacies, he still had a slight preference.
After all, Tangguo cuisine stands at the pinnacle of gastronomy, and this opportunity is also a good chance for these people to experience Tangguo culture. Giving Chef Wu a few more chances to showcase his talent should be no big deal!
With this thought, Cao Baming eagerly dialed his manager's number and explained his new idea.
After hanging up, he looked at the sky outside the window, thought for a moment, and stepped on the accelerator.
He was going home. The rest of the matters no longer needed his personal attention.
The only thing that couldn't be delegated to others was using his system skills to profit from the stock market.
Upon returning home, in just a few minutes, Cao Baming had pocketed several small fortunes.
This time, there was no need to be stingy. He directly distributed all his funds across various markets, aiming for the profits of this very minute!
The final harvest was astonishing, directly earning six hundred and seventy million, as easy as waving a hand in the air.
The multi-national markets collapsed from this single transaction, but Cao Baming couldn't care less.
As long as the money was in his account, everything else was a minor issue.
The next morning, he opened his eyes and saw the white ceiling.
This was the last day before his birthday, and he needed to go to the team for training.
The rankings for the Golden Ball Award had changed again. Mbappé had temporarily taken second place, surpassing Zidane. And surprisingly, despite being hospitalized with an injury, Zidane was still firmly in third place.
Winning the World Cup championship, followed by maintaining such fiery form in his two subsequent matches, was truly admirable.
Cao Baming's position was unshakeable. The outside world was abuzz with discussions, yet he alone was unconcerned.
Another piece of news had also become a hot topic in recent days.
According to the statistics compiled so far, Cao Baming had scored a total of 88 goals this season.
He was only three goals away from Messi's annual record of 91 goals. And it was worth noting that he had missed several matches. If he had participated in those games, breaking this record would have been a certainty.
Cao Baming himself felt regret upon seeing this. If he could have returned three days earlier, perhaps there would have been a real chance!
However, after much thought, the biggest problem now might not be these. With Henry, Messi, and Martinelli in Arsenal's forward line, he would never be the primary striker in their tactical system.
But if he considered a transfer now, there didn't seem to be any particularly good options!
He had already received invitations from top clubs in the five major leagues. The problem now was not a lack of places to go, but that other teams were not as good as Arsenal.
At least for now, he could still play with Messi and Henry for a while. He didn't need to worry about other things.
