But his expression was equally solemn. In such a grand scene and such an urgent situation, even he could only force himself to remain calm.
He was also constantly struggling with his own thoughts.
"Lin Huowang...do you still have any tricks up your sleeve?"
"This gamble... its scale and devastation have exceeded my expectations..."
"The US government is getting involved... This is robbery, this is massacre!"
"Are we really going to lose?"
"Ring ring—!!"
Just then, the red telephone on the table rang shrilly.
Huo Zhenting was startled.
Huo Yingdong steadied himself and picked up the phone.
"Huo Sheng".
On the other end of the phone was their trader in Chicago.
"The exchange has sent a notification..."
"Our account... has also received a margin call notice."
"We must make up at least one billion US dollars in margin before the market opens tomorrow."
"Otherwise...otherwise they will...force liquidation of all our contracts."
"One billion dollars..."
Upon hearing this astronomical figure, Huo Zhenting's legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
He knew that he had already gambled everything on this one.
Right now, the Huo family and the mainland side combined... simply can't come up with even a hundred million US dollars!
"Daddy!"
"Throw it!"
"Let's immediately discuss selling off our holdings with the mainland side!"
"Sell now! We're left with nothing! Our $2.5 billion, which previously rose to nearly $5 billion, is now worth less than $1 billion! If we don't sell now, tomorrow morning... we might be forced to liquidate and have nothing left!!"
"Daddy! Please! Throw it away!"
Huo Yingdong held onto the table tightly, his hands trembling slightly.
"Daddy!!"
Huo Zhen was quite anxious.
"Don't move!!"
Huo Yingdong slammed his hand on the table and roared with all his might, his eyes red as he glared at his son.
"Even if we lose, we must lose clearly and decisively!"
"Wait for Kobayashi's call!!"
Huo Zhenting reluctantly let go of her hand.
Now it seems we really have to place our last hope in Kobayashi Tenno's hands.
But faced with such a desperate situation, what other options does Kobayashi Tenno have? Can he come up with a billion US dollars all at once?
He has drained the funds of Hongkong Land Group, and there is no money left in mainland China. Where is he going to get money from?
...
Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Club.
The cigar room on the top floor.
In stark contrast to the despair of the Huo family, this place is now... a paradise where everyone celebrates.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
More than a dozen bottles of top-quality Dom Pérignon champagne were opened simultaneously by the waiters.
The golden liquid gushed out...
"Hahahahahaha!!!!"
Niu Bijian raised his glass high and let out a deafening burst of maniacal laughter!
"Dead!!"
"He's dead!!!"
Sir Swire, Madden's representative, and all the other bigwigs from British trading companies gathered around, their faces flushed with the ecstasy of revenge and windfall profits!
"Newbie! You are a god!!"
"You are Jardine Matheson's hero! No! You are the savior of all British-owned businesses!!"
"cheers!!"
"For Sir Newburgeon!!"
"To this great victory!!"
James, Newbridge's trusted analyst, was trembling with excitement as he rushed in, holding up a freshly printed trading report!
"boss!!!"
"A great victory!!!"
“Our empty accounts…our empty accounts…”
"At a price of $15... paper profit..."
"It's already...it's already surpassed 1.5 billion US dollars!!!"
"Wow—!!!!"
The cheers almost lifted the ceiling of the Hong Kong Club!
Newbijian snatched the report, staring at the astronomical figure on it, and felt like he was about to get drunk!
"Hahahaha! Kobayashi Tenno! You're definitely going to get liquidated! You're finished!!"
"Aren't you good at calculations? Aren't you a genius? Aren't you known as the Eastern Wizard in Britain?!"
"Where is your damn mainland electronics factory?"
"Oh, right! Your garbage dump has absolutely no money! Not a single order! It's a bottomless pit!"
"Now your business empire is going to collapse! It's all gone! Hahahaha!"
"They were all burned up in the Silver Casino!!"
"You are now... a penniless pauper!!"
"And me! I, Niu Bijian! Not only did I make back all the money I lost on Hong Kong Land, I even made several times that amount!!"
"I won! I'm the ultimate winner! Once the news of your huge losses in silver futures reaches Hong Kong, Hongkong Land's share price will definitely plummet again. Hongkong Land, just wait for my triumphant return!"
He downed the champagne in one gulp, but still felt it wasn't enough!
This is not the final victory!
He's going to deliver the final blow!
He wanted to stomp on Kobayashi Tenno's corpse a few more times!
In front of all the British executives, he picked up the phone to call the Hong Kong branch.
"This is Newbijian, connect me to... HSBC! The head office! I need Sham Birmingham!"
The call was answered quickly.
Niu Bijian pressed the speakerphone button; he wanted Shen Bi, who was standing on Kobayashi Tenno's side, to hear his victory.
"Hello? Sir John Sham? This is Newbikin."
His voice was filled with the arrogance and mockery of a victor.
"I'm just trying to give you a friendly reminder."
"That business genius you speak of, that Mr. Kobayashi Tenno, whom you cherish and protect like a treasure..."
"He's about to go bankrupt in the silver market."
"Yes, I killed him with my own hands. Not a single penny will be left. He will be completely bankrupt."
"I urge you, on behalf of HSBC, to freeze all his accounts immediately!"
"Force the liquidation of his mortgaged Hongkong Land shares! Seize all his assets!"
"otherwise……"
At this moment, Niu Bijian was indeed extremely pleased and in high spirits. He burst into a burst of joyful laughter as he spoke to Shen Bi on the other end of the phone:
"Otherwise, your HSBC bank... will be completely dragged down by this penniless bastard! Hahahaha! But it seems that you're already in trouble because of this..."
