On the other side of the ocean, in the beautiful country...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Mr. Buffett, you are known as the stock market guru by investors all over the world!"

"Then let's take advantage of this pleasant time and estimate how much we can earn this time!"

Holding a glass of red wine, looking at the Hong Kong stock market chart on the large screen in front of him, Buffett...

In response to William's question, he smiled slightly, took a sip of the red wine in his glass, and said...

"The total market capitalization of the Hong Kong stock market is currently around four trillion Hong Kong dollars!"

"With this investment of 10 billion US dollars, we can conservatively expect to get a five-fold return!"

Upon hearing this estimate, Citibank Chairman Hank couldn't help but smile.

Then, raising his glass to William,

"Mr. William!"

"I really need to thank you this time!"

"If you hadn't found me, how could we have made this quick money!"

William, in response to Hank's compliment, raised his glass in return.

"No!"

“Mr. Hank, you should be thanking someone other than me.”

As someone who has spent years in the financial world, how could Hank not know who William was referring to?

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Yes, we should thank that short mule Gao Ren!"

"After all, if he hadn't openly and honestly hanged that fool of the British royal family, Wales, how could we have made this quick money!"

After saying that,

The three of them simultaneously raised their glasses and said in unison,

"Then let's drink to Gao Ren, that short mule!"

After the three of them downed their glasses of red wine, they looked at each other for three seconds before bursting into laughter again, unable to contain their joy and excitement!

The joy of that laughter was unprecedented!

"Beep beep beep beep..."

But just then, a phone call shattered the cheerful atmosphere.

William answered the phone, his voice still carrying the lingering joy from just moments before.

"Hello!"

Hearing the cheerful tone in Walton's voice on the other end of the phone, he knew they were already popping champagne.

Then, swallowing hard, he forced back his fear and spoke.

"Mr. William, it's me, Walton!"

When William heard Wharton introduce himself, there wasn't a trace of joy in his voice, a hint of the satisfaction one might expect from someone who had achieved success.

For some reason, a sense of unease suddenly welled up inside him.

"You'd better have good news to tell me!"

Upon hearing this, Wharton's heart sank to the bottom...

"Mr. William, I'm so sorry!"

"Something unexpected happened!"

"He Xin's daughter, He Tian'er, is pregnant! With this added advantage..."

"He Xin went all in, putting out five billion US dollars to help Gao Ren stabilize the stock price!"

"Furthermore, the wealthy people on Hong Kong Island were afraid that Gao Ren would kill them... so they followed Huo Jianguo's lead,"

"They started frantically buying up the stock that the British royal family was dumping..."

Upon hearing this answer, William couldn't hold back and immediately cursed.

"Fuck..."

But before he could finish his rant,

The stocks that were just showing all green on the big screen have all started to turn red...

The stock they were most concerned about was that of the Gao Group.

It has already started to rise slowly, although the increase is not significant...

But this also shows that their plan has completely failed!

"Mr. William!"

"What's going on here! Didn't you promise me that?!"

"The Hong Kong stock market will completely collapse today!"

"How come instead of crashing, the market is actually rising!"

Seeing Hank, who had been smiling at him just a second ago, suddenly change his expression the next second...

Even though William was somewhat prepared, he was still caught off guard by William's rapid change of expression!

"Mr. Hank, please don't worry!"

"I've invested more money than you!"

After saying that, he suppressed his murderous urges and spoke to Walton on the other end of the phone.

"Speak!"

"Why are you calling me instead of crashing the stock market?!"

Seeing that William had already guessed, Walton stopped pretending and directly confronted William.

"Mr. William!"

"Wolf and his group mean it very well: if we don't add another five billion dollars in investment!"

“They would absolutely not follow us into the market; instead, they would choose to sell the company to Gao Ren….”

The phone call wasn't loud, but in a quiet environment,

The sound wasn't loud, but it was still audible to Hank and Buffett who were standing nearby.

"Do you want to invest more?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"The trend chart in front of me right now shows a completely red trend, not a completely green one!"

"Investing more at this time is just competing with Gao Ren and his gang in burning money!"

After Hank roared, Buffett, who had been navigating the stock market for many years, keenly sensed something different!

"Mr. William, I now strongly suspect that all of this was a setup by Gao Ren for you!"

"His goal is to lure you into the stock market trap he has created!"

"If this isn't a trap, then there's no other reason to explain what happened!"

"Therefore, I chose to withdraw my investment..."

Before Buffett could finish speaking, William interrupted him with a calm expression.

"Mr. Buffett, Mr. Hank!"

"Gao Ren's combo is pretty good!"

"But in terms of capital strength, are Gao Ren, Huo Jianguo, and He Xin a match for the three of us?"
