In fact, Xing Baohua probably guessed that the person codenamed "Old Bookworm" was likely a member of MD.

So what? We'll make it, smash it, and find the MDs to exchange it. At least we'll get rid of those corporate spies in the factory.

Xing Baohua overheard the guards who were eavesdropping on Hou Qian complaining that they hadn't heard anything, yet they were eavesdropping, shouting so loudly, and doing all sorts of things. The guards were all young, vigorous men; they had a terrible time.

Therefore, we need to arrange for those who have partners to come over later, and for those who don't, we need to have the Rice Union organize a matchmaking event as soon as possible.

After settling these people in, Xing Baohua headed to Hainan.

Upon arriving at the office, I listened to Yu Shenghai's report on the work done recently. Meanwhile, the medical research company in Singapore had been registered and was recruiting experts in the medical manufacturing industry. At the same time, purchase orders were being issued to global medical equipment suppliers.

The equipment is worth a total of US$430 million.

Currently, many medical equipment companies are interested in medical companies in Singapore and have begun sending people to make contact.

"Proceed according to plan." Xing Baohua was quite satisfied with the speed of the progress in Po County.

Besides the initial research and development, the major expense in quantum chip manufacturing is the procurement of a lot of equipment.

Many purchases are made in vain, or the purchased models are outdated, leading to a gradual increase in costs.

Although I was mentally prepared for this, I still need to find ways to make more money. Without several hundred billion US dollars, I can't hold on!

The wafer fabs in Shanghai are just a facade, but they still have to produce! Before quantum computing comes out, semiconductors reign supreme.

We have to make that money.

Now that you've started the deception, you have to keep going.

Where will the money come from? We'll have to find a way to get a loan.

Unfortunately, Xing Baohua is already on the risk list. He wants to borrow money from the bank, but direct loans are no longer available. He can only use mortgage loans, but he has already used all the available collateral before.

A second mortgage increases the risk, and currently, no bank in Hong Kong dares to lend him money.

A few hundred million is no problem, but tens or hundreds of billions are a thing of the past.

Xing Baohua met with the bank executives again, this time with the wafer fab's report in hand. The discussion revolved around the same point: "Mr. Xing, shall we not mention the loan?"

Although it wasn't said directly, Xing Baohua already understood what it meant.

It's a bit...unconventional that HSBC, Standard Chartered, and even Citibank are saying the same thing.

Look, Xing Baohua used to be very principled, saying he wouldn't let them take out a loan, but look at him now.

He was just having a few banks help him out temporarily.

Two years later, Xing Baohua will have a great opportunity to stir up trouble in the financial market.

Back then, money wasn't really money; it was just a number.

Forget it, I won't embarrass myself anymore.

If these senior managers were to spread the word that Xing Baohua was short of money and was begging them for billions, it would be a losing proposition!

The more you're short of money, the more creditors come knocking.

That would be even more troublesome, so he has to pretend to be rich. Actually, even if he doesn't pretend, everyone already knows he's rich.

We have a lot of fixed assets, including airplanes and aircraft carriers and battleships that are currently under renovation, but our cash flow is running out too fast.

What's lacking is cash flow.

The most significant amount came from the over 3 billion yen swindled from Mitsui Bank, which was all used to purchase aircraft production lines.

What little is left is enough to keep going, but after a while, it will probably be unsustainable as more and more projects are being added. The cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul is becoming too much to handle.

Is it really going to cause a stir in the financial market, as Jin Xin said?

Xing Baohua couldn't pry up the oil, but that doesn't mean anything else.

Call the head of the investment department of Haina and compile the exchange rates of the European continent over the past year.

Especially the Great Eagle Pound.

All the trend charts, exchange rate tables, bank interest rates, bridging interest, overnight interest, etc.

Right now, this little eagle is the only one we can deal with. While the US is still recovering from last year's global economic downturn, we can take advantage of the eagle's currency and make a little money, right?

Europe is a continent with many small countries that trade frequently with each other. Each country has its own currency system, which makes currency exchange quite cumbersome. As a result, the European Union monetary system was developed in 1979.

At that time, it was called the Eurocurrency System, which mainly aimed to stabilize and fix the currencies of various countries.

This makes exchanging currency easier, but there are always one or two countries that don't listen, especially the United States, which has been causing trouble and dominating everything.

Therefore, the pound sterling was the first to fluctuate, especially against the West German mark, where the fluctuation was quite large.

This instability of the Deutsche Mark leads to even greater instability in other currencies.

This indirectly led to the sharp devaluation of the lira in the country of noodles.

Without analysis, one wouldn't know that Germany and Italy have been under constant pressure since World War II, and have never been able to raise their heads.

To strike a big eagle, you need the right timing and a good entry point.

Back then, Mr. Solomon made a small fortune by capitalizing on the characteristics of shorting the pound.

Xing Baohua wanted to replicate this, but the timing wasn't right. He needed to stir things up to take advantage of the chaos.

Can his size really influence the monetary systems of several countries?

With daily trading volumes in the hundreds of billions, even with leverage, it's impossible to move that volume!

Therefore, when the pound is trending downwards against the German mark, Xing Baohua can create a public opinion around it. Even a sharp drop in one day can earn him hundreds of millions, or even more.

But detailed planning is needed; otherwise, you won't make money and will be crushed by the massive financial system.

Okay, Xing Baohua got the investment department moving, and those with a keen sense of things also felt that Xing Baohua was going to stir things up in the financial market.

He's never lost money in the US, Japan, or Hong Kong markets. Now he's seeing Europe, or perhaps the Eagle?
