After Xing Baohua returned to Daying from Noodle Country, his life became relatively stable.

The foreign exchange market is pretty much like this; nothing major is happening, and there won't be any major fluctuations.

Only Xing Baohua remained calm, while the British pound was much more cunning, stealthily inching its way up and consistently holding the top spot among the world's currencies.

They have always used trade to profit from the price difference in wealth.

The United States is known as the freest country in the world, where you can buy anything from friendly nations. Even with hostile countries, as long as the goods aren't on the prohibited list, you can freely buy and sell them.

No approval is needed at all.

Yes, no approvals or complicated procedures are required.

Unfortunately, there wasn't much for Xing Baohua to buy here. The places he wanted to buy wouldn't sell, and he didn't like the ordinary things.

Da Lao was very worried about Xing Baohua's finances. What a rich fool he was, wasting money like this. He was afraid that after reaching an agreement with this guy, the other party would not have the money to pay, and all his efforts would be in vain.

It's not just Law, but also those teams.

They even gloated and informed the Noodle Country that they had rejected Xing Baohua's purchase. Seeing Xing Baohua return empty-handed, the media largely mocked him.

Don't even think about buying any teams in the top five European leagues. Oh, by the way, you need to be rich.

The story of Xing Baohua getting trapped in the foreign exchange market has been reported by global financial media.

Wall Street even used Xing Baohua's trade as a teaching material. Many trainers used his short-selling price of the pound as a comparison, telling their employees in a didactic tone that no matter how much money they have, they should never touch the pound. Even if you have 10 billion dollars, look at Xing, he made 4 billion dollars just from closing out trades.

Then there are those who don't like to set stop-loss orders. Some people really like to set stop-loss orders; if you don't, they feel like you're a heretic.

Compare this to Xing Baohua's losing trades. Even with a maximum stop-loss of 20%, that's a loss of 2 billion out of a 10 billion yuan investment. And now? It's already 4 billion yuan, with another 6 billion yuan trapped.

No matter how others use Xing Baohua as a negative example, he will short sell whenever there is free money in his positions.

The next order will appear at the high of 1.96, not many, let's start with 500 million. The next order will appear at the high of 1.98, let's start with another 500 million.

Losses continue, and the seller remains determined to short at high levels.

Many people think Xing Baohua is stubborn and doesn't know how to be flexible or lock in his positions.

Everyone says that Xing Baohua's team is incredibly powerful, having fought against Wall Street and international speculative capital led by Suarez.

Furthermore, not long ago, he bravely resisted the international speculative capital that was united with Uncle Solo and Uncle Ba, and made a small profit.

Now, betting against a century-old aristocrat adds another example to the list of idioms that describe someone who overestimates their abilities.

Xing Baohua acted as if he didn't hear or see the doubts from the outside world; his goal was only 2 yuan.

Once the target price is reached, do nothing and wait for the pound to fall.

Time flies, a week and a half has passed. Wang Dalu, who is far away in Japan, calculates the time and realizes it's almost time to go back and help his cousin with something.

Before leaving, he made a special call to Lu Yali.

My cousin figured that the batch of scrap metal should be arriving at the port soon. They could just wait a few days at Luqing Port. Once it arrived, they could pick it up as soon as possible; everything was arranged, it was a very simple matter.

The child flew to Luqingliuting Airport, but didn't take the airport bus to the city center. Instead, he took a taxi directly to the city.

Going abroad makes all the difference. I chatted with a taxi driver in the city and he mentioned that he had just returned from Japan and works in international trade. He said that people like him, who are wealthy, are very enviable.

"Sir, is this your first time in Shandong? You should definitely take a good look around. The country has changed a lot in recent years, especially Shandong," the driver said warmly.

Wang Weibao responded softly. He didn't dare to mention that he had been to Luqing before, since those visits hadn't been very honorable.

That simple "hmm" made the driver happy.

Whenever it's a tourist attraction, the driver makes a point of taking a detour. In Luqing, many roads aren't straight; after a turn, you lose your bearings.

Wang Dalu only said he wanted to find a place to stay in the city, without specifying where. The driver pretended not to understand and kept heading towards tourist attractions. Things like the First Bathing Beach and Zhongshan Park! After that, they went directly along the seaside road to Shilaoren (Stone Old Man) area.

Goodness, they've gone all the way to Laoshan.

It wasn't until dark that we finally made it to Licang, then to Sifang District, and found a familiar hotel to settle in.

"Boss, the fare is two hundred and eighty. If you pay in US dollars, I'll give you a discount," the driver said with a smile.

Wang Dalu did some mental calculations and felt that the driver's demands weren't too outrageous, so he asked if paying in Japanese yen would be acceptable.

After calculating the exchange rate, I paid the driver 280 yen.

Drivers generally accept most major currencies. They wait for fares at the airport every day and can exchange currency for those traveling abroad. Don't underestimate the difference; sometimes it's a few cents, sometimes more than ten cents.

Wang Dalu, who was wealthy, didn't care about such small sums of money.

They even suggested hiring a car. The driver was naturally happy; waiting for fares at the airport only yielded two or three trips a day, barely enough to cover fuel costs and earn very little.

But it's different for Wang Dalu to charter a car. He can earn more than a hundred yuan today after paying for gas, which is equivalent to a month's salary for an ordinary worker.

The driver has a pager; leave your pager number. As long as he's not picking up passengers, he'll usually arrive in about half an hour. Try to page him half an hour in advance.

And so, Wang Dalu was taken around the entire Qingcheng area by the taxi driver.

They also went to Luqing Port to get acquainted with the area, as they were told that a shipment of goods was coming from overseas, all of them being high-end equipment.

He even boasted about carrying cargo on several ships. This made the driver extremely envious, and he said he wanted to work for him.
