Liu Na's face beamed with undisguised joy upon receiving the gift; after all, women are naturally drawn to jewelry. She returned home delighted, determined to reward Li Baolong for his gift. So, Liu Na used all her charm to please Li Baolong, making him feel comfortable and completely satisfied. After this passionate and tender moment, all the pent-up emotions that had been building up in Liu Na's heart recently were finally released.
At this moment, Li Baolong gazed quietly at Liu Na, who lay on the bed, looking somewhat weak and exhausted. He couldn't help but think to himself, "This woman is perfect in every way! Not only is she beautiful and elegant, but she's also an excellent cook and a skilled kitchen worker. It's just a pity..." He shook his head slightly and sighed, "Alas, she's a bit old and absolutely refuses to have children." However, Li Baolong quickly tried to shake off these thoughts.
He slowly rose and strolled onto the balcony. A gentle night breeze caressed his face, bringing a slight coolness. Gazing at the brightly lit yet somewhat mysterious cityscape in the distance, Li Baolong fell into deep thought. The economic situation in Hong Kong was becoming increasingly complex, with Ross and his gang like hungry wolves closing in from all sides. Faced with such a dire situation, how could he possibly get a share of the profits?
At this moment, entrepreneurs across Hong Kong Island were gripped by fear, like frightened birds. Everyone trembled with apprehension, walking on thin ice, lest the slightest misstep plunge them into an abyss. Those seemingly irresistible financial products now appeared to them like venomous snakes and ferocious beasts lurking in the shadows, deterring them from even touching them.
In just two short months, the once-thriving investment market has been reduced to ruins. Numerous investment companies have suffered devastating losses, not only losing everything but also their hard-earned client base. This is undoubtedly a nightmare for those once-glorious business owners.
Li Baolong's Lulutong Investment Company was naturally not spared from the storm. Although he was known for his shrewdness and competence, he could only watch helplessly as the company's funds flowed out like a burst dam in the face of such a severe situation, and he was powerless to stop the situation from worsening.
However, what makes the situation even more complicated and difficult is that the enigmatic Ross and his gang remain lurking in the shadows, watching everything like ghosts. They are like a group of patient hunters, waiting for the perfect moment to strike and deliver a fatal blow to their prey. Even if they do decide to set foot on Hong Kong Island, a land full of opportunities and challenges, they will likely choose an extremely discreet and secretive approach. They will absolutely not reveal their whereabouts and true intentions in a high-profile manner, lest they alert their prey.
Therefore, obtaining accurate, firsthand intelligence about these opponents is as difficult for Li Baolong as climbing a ladder to the heavens. He must rack his brains and try every possible method to break through this seemingly insurmountable predicament. But amidst this complex situation, can he succeed? The answer still seems shrouded in a thick fog…
The Hong Kong stock and futures markets these past few days have resembled the apocalypse; even the term "stock market crash" seems inadequate to describe the scene. Every day, the entire market is engulfed in green, like an endless grassland. The vast majority of stock prices have plummeted like kites with broken strings, many even losing half their value, instantly wiping out a significant portion of investors' wealth.
The owners of those listed companies were like frightened birds, extremely anxious. Faced with such a dire situation, the Hong Kong government anxiously released a series of positive news, but these efforts were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and could not stop the stock market from plummeting.
Li Baolong, a tycoon with hundreds of billions in funds, was equally anxious. He constantly longed to compete with Ross and his group, but he couldn't find the right opportunity to act. Now, Ross and his associates, with their vast financial resources, were dominating the market, aggressively shorting stocks and reaping huge profits from retail investors, amassing billions of dollars in a short period!
Continuing to wait idly was clearly not a solution, so Li Baolong decided to take matters into his own hands. He drove his luxury car alone, speeding towards the Standard Chartered Bank's trading floor. Upon arrival, the scene before him made him gasp – the once bustling and vibrant trading floor was now eerily quiet and deserted. Due to the dismal market conditions of the past two months, almost no one dared to venture into this once-thriving investment haven, let alone trade stocks or futures.
Li Baolong shook his head helplessly and walked towards the manager's office, hoping to have an in-depth discussion with Chen Hao, the manager of the securities company, about how to deal with the situation. However, to his surprise, after explaining his purpose to the secretary, he was told, "Manager Chen just accompanied an important guest from Macau to the largest seafood restaurant on Hong Kong Island." Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Li Baolong's face, but he maintained his composure, politely nodded, and turned to leave.
On the way, Li Baolong drove while his secretary kept replaying her words in his mind: "Boss, some guests from Macau would like to meet with you..." He especially repeated the words "Macau guests" twice in his mind. Suddenly, as if struck by lightning, something flashed through his mind, and Li Baolong remembered something.
He quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road, pulled out his phone from his pocket, and dialed Chen Hao's number without hesitation. Chen Hao's familiar voice came through the phone almost immediately. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Baolong inquired about the situation with the guests from Macau. After some conversation, Li Baolong learned that Chen Hao and his group had just arrived at the restaurant and were about to have dinner.
Chen Hao warmly invited Li Baolong to join him for dinner, but Li Baolong politely declined, saying, "I've already eaten, thank you for your kindness, brother! But after dinner, we can find a place to have some tea and chat." So, the two agreed to meet after dinner.
After hanging up the phone, Li Baolong restarted his car and sped towards the restaurant. He arrived at his destination in no time. Entering the restaurant lobby, Li Baolong went straight to the front desk and generously reserved a deluxe private room. This room was conveniently located next to Chen Hao's. Without further ado, Li Baolong paid a deposit of HK$10,000 on the spot and strode into the room.
