Chen Dong had been to HSBC's private club once.

Due to being busy with work, he never appeared again.

7 p.m.

Chen Dong and Ma Guoliang arrived at the appointment on time.

Meanwhile, HSBC's new CEO, Li Xiaoman, had been waiting outside the private club for quite some time.

Upon seeing the two enter, Li Xiaoman immediately stepped forward to greet them, "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Li Xiaoman, the current president of HSBC Asia Pacific. I hope we can work together in the future."

Before me stood a woman in her late twenties, with long, wavy hair, wearing a white embroidered blouse, a black slit pencil skirt, and black high heels.

This outfit, combined with her delicate features, is truly eye-catching.

What a mature and sophisticated woman!

Chen Dong smiled, shook hands with Li Xiaoman, and said, "Hello, President Li Xiaoman, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Xiaoman smiled gently, her fingertips lightly sliding as the two shook hands, and said sweetly, "Mr. Chen, you seem even more young and promising than I imagined."

"President Li Xiaoman is too kind; it was merely a coincidence."

Chen Dong withdrew his right hand and gave an awkward smile.

Li Xiaoman chuckled and gestured for them to proceed.

"Mr. Chen, this way please. The drinks are all ready."

As they spoke, the three went up to the third floor and stopped in a luxurious private room.

If Chen Dong remembered correctly, the last time he came to the private club with Ma Guoliang, they only stayed on the second floor.

Just as he expected, the higher up the private club, the more luxurious the decor became.

and!

Security guards can be seen on duty everywhere on the staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor.

Guests who can get to the third floor must be of very high status; they certainly cannot show their faces easily.

Then, Li Xiaoman opened the door to the private room, where four men were sitting, with two large fruit platters and some drinks in front of them.

Chen Dong's expression froze slightly.

It wasn't because the drinks were particularly expensive, but because of the identities of these four men.

Li Ka-shing, Guo Desheng, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yutong...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that these four men represent Hong Kong's financial sector.

Tens of thousands of people in Hong Kong are begging for food under their control, and any policy they implement can affect the lives of many.

Li Xiaoman always had a smile on her face, making it difficult to discern her true intentions.

However, Chen Dong was no pushover. Although the four people in front of him represented the four major families of Hong Kong, he was not without his own trump cards.

Rebirth is Chen Dong's greatest advantage.

While Chen Dong was observing the group, Li Jiacheng and his group were also observing him.

So young!

I had long heard that a financial prodigy had emerged in Hong Kong, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in just a few months, but I never expected that Chen Dong would be so young.

If these people knew that Chen Dong earned not hundreds of millions, but a full 3.5 billion, they probably wouldn't think that way.

However, for ordinary people, whether it's $3.5 billion or hundreds of millions of dollars, it's a height that they can hardly reach in their lifetime.

It was clear from their faces that they genuinely wanted to befriend Chen Dong.

As the matchmaker, Li Xiaoman certainly had her own intentions in taking advantage of the four major families.

As the president of HSBC, building and utilizing connections is a daily routine for him.

Just like now, with Li Xiaoman as the middleman, Li Ka-shing and others would think, "HSBC is amazing! They know such a powerful newcomer. As long as they make some good moves, they can leverage their connections in Hong Kong and their financial resources."

It's hard not to make money!

Anyone else would think HSBC is incredibly powerful, with even the four major families being their honored guests.

If you think that way, you've fallen into HSBC's trap.

Your savings, investment products, and so on will definitely be managed by HSBC. You might even think, since HSBC has so many connections, isn't it only right that it makes some money?

Once your money goes into the bank, they can make money through various means, and you can only get the minimum return. Most of the returns have already been pocketed by them.

"Chen Sheng, you talk to them first, I'll be right back."

After introducing Chen Dong, Li Xiaoman introduced him to Li Jiacheng and several other people. In fact, Li Xiaoman didn't need to introduce them; Chen Dong knew more about these people than she did.

However, in order to conceal the fact that he had traveled through time, Chen Dong had to continue to maintain his mystery. To put it bluntly, he had to play dumb and pretend that it was the first time he had met the big shots.

Li Jiacheng grinned and said, "Chen Sheng, you are the most outstanding young man I have ever met. With you here, I feel as if I can see a rising star."

Chen Dong: "Mr. Li, you're too kind. I'm just a beginner in front of you."

Zheng Yutong chimed in, "Old Li is right, young man. We old folks have all heard about your deeds, and we have to say, you are truly a force to be reckoned with."

The compliments from the group made Chen Dong feel a little embarrassed.

Those who are family know their own affairs. He's not particularly capable; he just has the advantage of being a time traveler and knows the trajectory of future developments.

After chatting for a while, Li Ka-shing said seriously, "Brother Chen, I heard you're from the mainland?"

"Yes, Mr. Li." Chen Dong nodded. This matter couldn't be kept secret from those who were interested, so it was better to admit it openly.

"Is that so..."

Li Jiacheng nodded and revealed the purpose of their visit.
