"No...that's not right..."
"What would he need such a favor for? In our eyes, he's already a god-like figure..."
"What...what is he really thinking? Is it really like Daddy said, that he's purely patriotic? This level of thinking..."
Huo Zhen was quite puzzled.
He felt that the difference between himself and the man in front of him was no longer about money or intelligence.
It's about perspective... it's about vision.
That's a state of mind!
"Now I understand what Daddy meant by true vision..."
Upon realizing this, Huo Zhenting could no longer suppress the shock and awe in his heart.
He suddenly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Lin Huowang at a ninety-degree angle.
"Young Master Lin, from now on, I, Huo Zhenting, am completely convinced of your worth."
"From now on, the Huo family will absolutely... follow your lead!"
Lin Huowang accepted the greeting without hesitation. After all, his arrival had accelerated Huo Zhenting's growth, saving him from many detours in life!
Moreover, he knew that from this moment on, the Huo family... was truly bound to his war machine.
"Young Master Huo, you're too kind."
Lin Huowang smiled and looked at him, then said, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Liao, do you... agree to my distribution plan?"
I agree!
Huo Yingdong nodded and said that although the Huo family received less money according to Lin Huowang's distribution plan, given Huo Yingdong's vision, he would not hesitate to give another billion US dollars to the country, just like Lin Huowang.
"On behalf of the country... thank you! Comrade Lin Huowang!"
Liao Gong's voice also choked up a bit. As an important figure in the country's foreign relations, Liao Gong had actually met too many wealthy overseas Chinese.
Many wealthy Chinese in Southeast Asia are all talk and no action. When making requests, they are incredibly attentive, but when asked to contribute to their motherland, they often don't answer the phone or make various excuses.
It's understandable that businessmen prioritize profit.
But how could Liao Gong not be moved and touched by someone like Lin Huowang, who was so dedicated to serving his country and willing to sacrifice his own interests for its greater good?
"Don't rush."
Lin Huowang then said with a smile:
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Liao, Young Master Huo."
"We...aren't finished calculating yet."
"What?!"
The three of them were somewhat puzzled.
Not finished yet?!
That five billion US dollars... and it's not all?!
"Mr. Lin, what... what do you mean by that?" Huo Yingdong asked in surprise.
Lin Huowang reminded him:
"Mr. Huo, have you forgotten? That 5 billion was just the money our First Legion made from futures trading."
“I… also have the 'Second Legion'.”
Huo Yingdong then remembered, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise, "It's that... that five billion US dollars you allocated later..."
"Yes."
Lin Huowang nodded and continued, "Of the fifty billion US dollars, I spent two billion US dollars to save our First Legion."
"There's still... three billion left. I used that three billion dollars... at a price of $10 an ounce, to buy up... all the spot silver that the Hunt brothers dumped."
Huo Zhenting's mind went blank!
"Spot trading! You...you bought spot silver?!"
Huo Yingdong immediately understood.
"Then... just yesterday, I had my Swiss team 'sell' all of these spot goods that we bought for $10 each to the Newbikini Union clearing bank, which was there to close our positions, and other short sellers who were about to be forced to liquidate, at a price of $50 per ounce."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Fok Ying-tung and Fok Chun-ting, father and son, were completely frozen in place.
Their brains were frantically calculating that number.
$3 billion in capital...
Selling for $50...buying for $10...
That's almost five times the profit!
3 billion... multiplied by 5...
$15 billion!!!
Moreover, it's a spot closing, so short sellers have no choice but to buy.
This is the exorbitant profit of a monopoly!
Subtracting the principal of 3 billion...
Net profit...
"One hundred and twenty billion... US dollars?"
When Fok Chun-ting read out the number, he himself couldn't believe it.
"Yes."
Lin Huowang calmly confirmed it.
"After deducting all expenses, the Second Legion made a net profit of about 11.5 billion US dollars. We also negotiated with the US government and donated another 1 billion US dollars to their main political interest groups. So we got a net profit of about 10.5 billion US dollars. This money has been safely deposited into a Swiss bank account."
"so……"
Lin Huowang looked at the Huo family father and son, who were completely petrified, and at Liao Gong, who was deathly silent on the other end of the phone, and gave his final summary.
"The Battle of Silver."
"The First Legion has made a profit of 5 billion."
"The Second Legion has a profit of 10.5 billion."
"total……"
"15.5 billion... US dollars."
...
Upon hearing this astronomical figure, Fok Chun-ting and his son Fok Ying-tung were beyond shocked.
Moreover, what they admired most was Lin Huowang's ability to accurately navigate relationships within the American political arena. Although he ultimately paid a staggering one billion dollars in political donations, the successful remittance of the profits made it all worthwhile.
On the other end of the phone.
Liao Gong's breathing became increasingly rapid...
"Lord Liao? Lord Liao? Are you still there?" Lin Huowang asked.
"Comrade Lin Huowang, you...you say it again?"
"How many?"
"A total of 15.5 billion... US dollars?"
"Yes, Mr. Liao. Part of this money comes from sales revenue in the Shekou Industrial Park, which we've temporarily diverted for use. I hope you can speak with the leader and ask if we can invest this money domestically for construction, combining it with the automobile production line I'll be introducing later, to quickly boost our domestic light and heavy industry capabilities..."
"..."
"Bang!!"
A loud slamming sound came from the other end of the phone!
"Guard!"
Liao Gong shouted excitedly:
"Guards!! Quick!!"
"Go and fetch the commander!!"
"No!!"
"Summon all the commanders... to me!!!"
"quick--!"
"Beep...beep...beep..."
The call was disconnected.
Only Huo Yingdong and his son Huo Zhenting remained in the Huo family study, deeply shocked.
