Colombia is not the largest country in South America, but it occupies an extremely important position in the entire economic system of South America, especially for its coffee, gold and precious stones, and its country is known as the country of gold. Florence is the province of Caquetá in southern Colombia and is one of the few large cities in Colombia that is thriving due to its geographical location, with a large number of sugar cane, rubber and various agricultural plantations located here. Adventurers from all over the world who came in search of Inca wealth and relics also used it as a mending station to enter the jungles of South America, bringing wealth to the city while also making it extremely chaotic.

The city of Florence has been in turmoil more than ever in recent times, mainly due to the clash between the Pérez family and the Molina family in the upper echelons of Colombia over a good coffee plantation. Most local civilians and foreign adventurers see this as a struggle for power by the nobility of those countries, and as long as the conflict does not escalate to the point of armed firefighting, they will not have any worries, at best, they will have more to talk about after dinner. As for those who know some of the details, they all know that in addition to the grievances and grievances of the two major families in their country, there are also two foreign consortia involved, one is the Denison Consortium, a veteran plantation company in the southern United States, and the other is the Chen consortium, which has been married to the Perez family.

At nightfall, three lavishly decorated cars drove out of the Pérez family's mansion in Florence and drove along the narrow roads of the city towards the post station outside the city. In the middle car, Chen Tao, the president of the South American Chen Foundation, and his two wives, Xie Ling, the eldest lady of the Xie family in Shanghai, and Ellen García Perez, the young lady of the Perez family, sat inside, holding a boy, two women and three children in the arms of two women.

Twenty years of life experience and changes in the world have made Chen Tao have already faded from the frivolous and fierce spirit he had in China, and his gradually mature and stable personality has changed his temperament and appearance along with the wrinkles on his forehead. In the 20 years he has been at the helm of the Chen family's industry in South America, he has been working diligently, gradually transforming the Chen family from a foreign businessman into an international consortium that runs through several countries in North and South America, and his intelligence and courage have been respected by the Chen family as one of the three heroes of the Chen family.

Today's Chen family is very different from 20 years ago, although the overall scale of the Chen family is now more than 10 times larger than 20 years ago, no longer a country's landlord, but a large international consortium, but its family is no longer a whole. Today's Chen family has been divided into three, although the three families call themselves the Chen family, but in fact, they are no longer related to each other, at most they only have some business dealings.

Among the five sons and two daughters of the Chen family, the third son, Chen Zhenshan, does not like to take care of the family business, and likes to take his wife with the title of marquis to wander around. Now he has become a very famous adventurer in Europe. The fourth son, Chen Zhangping, is a famous playboy, whose property has long been lost by him, and now lives with his wife and mistress in his eldest brother's house. As for the two daughters who have already married others, in addition to taking away their own dowry, they have not interfered in the Chen family's property again.

Now at the helm of the Chen family in China is Chen Fan, the second son of the Chen family, because of his status as Sun Yat-sen's secretary, he occupies an important position in the current Republic of China government. After the Chen family's eldest daughter Chen Huilan and youngest daughter Chen Yu got married, all the Chen family's properties in Huaxia were handed over to Chen Fan. Compared with the ancestors of the Chen family, who liked to hide in the dark and manipulate a qiē concealment method, Chen Fan preferred to stand in front of the camera and show his identity.

After a series of commercial adjustments by Chen Fan, the industries of the Chen family in Huaxia have almost been put on the bright side, and their shops and factories are all over the north and south. A force was vaguely formed to restrain the government of the Republic of China. Chen Fan is also regarded by some business celebrities as the second red-top businessman after Hu Xueyan who can use the business system to form a country. When Chen Fan was praised by the world, many people also set their eyes on Chen Hui, the right and left hand behind Chen Fan, the son of the Chen family, and they all felt that Chen Fan would have such great achievements because of Chen Hui's assistance.

Chen Jingguo, the boss of the Chen family, is now a well-known figure in the upper class of Europe, not only because of his wife's status, but also because of his outstanding business methods, and he also accounts for the largest share of the Chen family's industry. In the world war, Chen Jingguo not only did not lose any of the industries he controlled, but also made a lot of money during the war by using a large number of strategic materials in his hands. Many industries were acquired, and even most of the European properties that he had given to the Huaxia Chen family before the war were bought back by him after the war. Later, he took advantage of the eagerness of various countries to rebuild after the war, and won many reconstruction projects, which further increased his commercial power, although the Europeans did not want to admit it, but in their hearts they already regarded Chen Jingguo as a big chaebol equivalent to the Jewish group.

Although Chen Tao was the youngest among his brothers, and his control of the American industry was not as good as that of his two brothers, no one dared to look down on him. Eight years ago, due to the policies of some countries in the Americas, the conspiracy of well-intentioned people and his own decision-making mistakes, he lost many high-quality South American plantations and fell from the altar of the first plantation owner in South America. But at that time, he was still able to stabilize the chaos in the face of danger, resolutely married the eldest lady of the Perez family, a Colombian family, and married the Perez family, which has a certain influence in the whole of South America, and then spread his image to the relatively xenophobic South American high society. Later, he secretly controlled some military and political figures in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Argentina and other parts of the local government, using the power of the state. Holding the remaining plantations firmly in his hands preserved the Chen family's important position in the American plantation industry.

Two years ago, Chen Tao secretly found out that the force that plotted against him turned out to be the Denison consortium of the Southern Plantation Company in the United States. So he and his brother Chen Jingguo teamed up to attack the shares of the Denison consortium in the Wall Street market, so that the Denison consortium had to mortgage the North American properties under his name to local banks and invest in the stock market, competing with the two major Chen family industries in Europe and the United States for the right to control the consortium. However, this is just Chen Tao's secret plan, in fact, he has already sued the bank of the Denison consortium's mortgage property, and when the Denison consortium could not withdraw from the stock market, he declared the bank bankrupt by legal means, sold the banking property, and took all the properties of the Denison consortium in North America. Completely drove the Denison consortium out of the U.S. market. Chen Tao's business merger and acquisition has also become a classic case in the American business community that cannot be replicated. And Chen Tao has also vaguely become the leader of Chinese Americans.

If it weren't for the subsequent anti-Chinese policy of the United States, which caused the U.S. government to intervene in this completely legal business action, temporarily freezing most of Chen Tao's assets in the United States, and making it impossible for Chen Tao to pursue the victory, perhaps the Denison consortium would have become a thing of the past. Although the United States has lifted Chen Tao's frozen assets, the Denison consortium has gained a firm foothold in South America after more than a year of repairs. Now Chen Tao is also coming to South America to completely destroy the Denison consortium before it is fledgling.
