Li Baolong's rapid sell-off and escape have really wreaked havoc on Ross and his short-selling fund. Look at the amount of money fleeing today—good heavens, it's almost a hundred billion! This is not something ordinary speculative capital can do. Ross and Jess were starting to feel uneasy, sensing something was wrong, wondering if the guy who had given them a run for their money last time was back to cause trouble again.
They finally managed to trace it back to a financial company registered in the Cayman Islands, and the person behind it was a Hong Kong woman. This company had a turnover of tens of billions of dollars; although its size was medium, it was not to be underestimated. They hadn't even settled accounts with them for stealing profits from Thai banks last time, and now they were causing trouble again. Ross and his team got together to discuss how to extricate themselves from this mess, ideally by dumping the burden on this Cayman company and making them the ones to take over.
Li Baolong, on the other hand, realized that Ross and his group had discovered he was taking advantage of the situation. Ross and his team hadn't even gotten any benefits this time, and then this morning, as soon as the market opened, the stock index surged. Li Baolong thought to himself, "Since things have come to this, I might as well go all in and run. Anyway, you've all found me; once I'm gone, you can fend for yourselves."
After making his decision, Li Baolong called Liu Na and told her to sell all the short contracts she held, totaling $10 billion. This sale had a significant impact; the stock index surged by 8% that afternoon. Li Baolong had at least sold everything, and although he missed out on 5% profit, it was a decent result at this critical juncture. The rest of the mess was left for Ross and his team to deal with.
Li Baolong's escape has really put Ross and his group in a bind. Ross is under immense pressure and has no choice but to reduce his holdings, but their capital is so large that it's uncertain whether they can even sell their stock within a month.
However, Li Baolong had no time to care about them. He was ecstatic; he had already secured the biggest piece of the pie. Look at his accounts! He had $160 billion in cash. This time, he only invested $15 billion, and in one fell swoop, he made a profit of over $140 billion, which is roughly one trillion yuan. Thinking about this, Li Baolong couldn't help but laugh inwardly, realizing he had inadvertently become the richest man in China.
He immediately called his account assistant at the Swiss bank, saying he wanted to transfer $100 billion to his private account and upgrade his membership level from ordinary to gold. The Swiss bank was incredibly efficient; they completed the transfer and upgrade in less than an hour and said someone would deliver the gold membership card to Hong Kong in three days.
Li Baolong hung up the phone and took a relaxing bath in the large bathtub. The next day, he flew directly to Hong Kong and returned to the company. Liu Na was incredibly excited when she saw him, but Li Baolong remained calm. Once in the office, Liu Na couldn't help but say, "Brother Long, we've really struck it rich this time! We have six hundred billion US dollars in the account!" Li Baolong chuckled inwardly; he hadn't mentioned his private account with a hundred billion US dollars to anyone. He told Liu Na, "Go to Shanghai at the end of the year and set up a new investment company. I'll give you ten billion US dollars to invest." Upon hearing this, Liu Na was so excited she almost threw herself into Li Baolong's arms. If they weren't in the office, she probably would have given him a good "service" on the spot.
After spending some time together, Li Baolong arranged for the four female employees of the company to go out for dinner. He even booked out a large seafood restaurant and took over a hundred employees with him. Everyone had been exhausted for the past month, constantly on edge, given the huge trading volume and the fact that even the slightest mistake was unacceptable. Upon arriving at the restaurant, Li Baolong announced on the spot: "Tomorrow, every trader in the company will receive a bonus of 100,000 yuan, every clerk 20,000 yuan, and every cleaner and security guard 10,000 yuan." This announcement was met with deafening cheers. 100,000 yuan could buy a small 20-square-meter apartment, roughly equivalent to a year's income for an average employee. Everyone felt that the month's hard work was absolutely worth it.
When Li Baolong returned home, the four women sat around him, drinking tea. He smiled and said, "You've all done a great job this time. Each of you will receive a reward of ten million Hong Kong dollars. The cards will be given to you tomorrow." The four women were overjoyed, their eyes filled with tenderness as they looked at Li Baolong. Liu Na benefited the most; Li Baolong promised her ten billion US dollars to open an investment company in Shanghai, where the profits would be substantial. Ten million was nothing to her. That evening, Liu Na was generous, letting Wu Lili and Wang Yan play games with Li Baolong.
The next day, Li Baolong arrived at the company lobby looking refreshed. He explained the company's future development plans to the employees and distributed bonuses. The employees were all beaming with joy, and even the security guards were grinning foolishly. After spending a week at the Hong Kong company, Li Baolong said goodbye to Liu Na and the others: "I'll come back for the Hong Kong handover celebration. I need to go back to the mainland for the next two months to do some groundwork and smooth things over."
Upon arriving at Longteng Company in the Special Economic Zone, Wenwen excitedly reported the situation in the office: "This time, we shorted Hong Kong stock index futures, investing 1.3 billion RMB, leveraged 20 times, and made a 20% profit, a total of 5 billion!" The employees were all incredibly excited. Li Baolong, having seen the world, calmly said, "Everyone has worked hard. All the traders will receive a bonus of 50,000 RMB each, ordinary staff will receive 20,000, and those doing odd jobs will receive 10,000. We'll have three days off, and the company will arrange a banquet tonight." Wenwen went out to announce the decision, and the hall erupted in deafening cheers.
That evening, as Li Baolong enjoyed Wenwen's passionate massage, he said, "The company's business is getting bigger and bigger, let's get you an assistant." Wenwen nodded, "I'm a bit overwhelmed right now. My education level is low, and I can't understand many documents. Have the hiring company find two secretaries, highly educated and good-looking, and we'll train them properly." As she spoke, Wenwen glanced at Li Baolong, "Are you looking for young and beautiful women now? Are you tired of me?" Li Baolong laughed and said, "How could that be? You serving me is enough. Find a pretty assistant, one for each of us. I'll give you a ten million yuan bonus this time. Follow me, and I guarantee you'll become a billionaire." Wenwen was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and she directly snuggled into Li Baolong's arms and began to serve him attentively.
Li Baolong has done something big: he transferred US$10 billion from his Hong Kong company account to the account of Longteng Company in the Special Economic Zone. This is no small amount; it's rare to see such a large sum in China. Longteng Company was previously an obscure player, dealing in stock and futures investment and wealth management, with a registered capital of only 30 million yuan and a mere 300 million yuan in investment funds. For such a small company to suddenly receive US$10 billion is equivalent to 70 billion yuan—a truly staggering figure. That much money, if used to buy stocks, could influence the overall stock market index. No wonder the domestic financial community is so sensitive to this transaction; everyone is watching closely, wondering what big moves Longteng Company will make next, what Li Baolong is planning, and whether it will cause turmoil in the domestic financial market. Everyone is filled with curiosity and a little apprehensive, waiting to see how this unfolds.
