"Dr. Simon, what stage has the engine project reached?" Chen Dong asked.
Dr. Simon thought for a moment, then immediately rattled off a whole bunch of technical terms.
Chen Dong hurriedly waved his hand and said somewhat helplessly, "Dr. Ximo, I'm just an ordinary person. Could you tell me in a simpler way?"
Dr. Simon suddenly realized what was going on and said, "Regarding the progress of the engine... let me put it this way: we have already overcome several difficulties, and there is only one remaining. Once we overcome this last difficulty, we can produce an engine comparable to those of Germany."
“Of course, this still needs to go through the final practical testing phase,” Dr. Seamo added.
Afterwards, Dr. Ximu took Chen Dong to the experimental base so that he could have a more intuitive understanding of the scientific research results.
In the test base, a vehicle consisting only of a frame and tires is driving.
The operator is demonstrating.
Although Chen Dong didn't understand those academic principles, he could tell that the engine prototypes developed at this stage were usable.
However, there are still some issues with the power supply when turning.
Dr. Seamus then said, "This is our final problem: the issue of kinetic energy conversion in the engine."
Chen Dong nodded; the facts were undeniable.
These researchers need more time, and Chen Dong is willing to wait.
After all, the engine is the heart of power.
If there's a problem with the power source, then there's no point in continuing the project.
The situation for electronic chips is even more optimistic.
The chips manufactured at the research facility are sufficient to power a mobile phone.
The only area that still needs improvement is stability.
Chen Dong was very satisfied with the result.
Looking at the bustling research base in front of him, Chen Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
He implemented a talent recruitment program in Polar Bear, and the seeds he sowed are finally beginning to sprout!
A few days later, the cargo ship sent by Xu Shixun arrived at the dock.
Because Chen Dong had made prior arrangements, all the necessary personnel had already arrived.
The cargo ship arrived at the dock at night, and four cranes on the dock started operating simultaneously.
The crane lifted the container carrying the oil extraction equipment high into the air and then placed it steadily on the cargo ship.
Because it was a mechanical operation, the whole process was very fast and went very smoothly.
Two hours later, the cargo ship departed from the dock and headed towards its destination, Dubai.
Chen Dong stood on the dock, gazing at the cargo ship sailing further and further away, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"I hope everything goes well."
After speaking, Chen Dong turned around and glanced at Wolong: "Book plane tickets, back to Hong Kong tomorrow."
"Yes, boss."
Under the cover of night, Yulia, who had come with them, had a burning gaze.
Before parting, both Yulia and Chen Dong were reluctant to say goodbye.
However, no one can change this situation.
The next morning, Chen Dong looked at Yulia, who was still fast asleep.
Chen Dong lowered his head and pressed his lips to Yulia's forehead: "Get some rest, I'm leaving."
Shortly after, Chen Dong left the hotel and boarded a plane to Hong Kong.
After Chen Dong left, Yulia opened her eyes.
Her deep blue eyes were filled with reluctance; in fact, Yulia was not asleep.
She just didn't want Chen Dong to feel any psychological burden at this time.
...
At Hong Kong Airport, as soon as Chen Dong and his group stepped out of the terminal, they saw Uncle Fu there to pick them up.
The group boarded the vehicle and hurried back to Hidden Dragon Residence, covered in dust from the journey.
On the way, Chen Dong made a series of phone calls, summoning Wangcai and the others over.
Soon after, Hidden Dragon Residence also became bustling with activity.
Wangcai circled around Chen Dong, looking smug.
During this period, Wangcai led the other traders to consistently make profits in the stock market.
Wangcai gestured and said, "Boss, you suddenly called us over, is there some big job coming up?"
At this point, the other traders' eyes also lit up.
Having experienced the fierce battle of the last stock market crash, these people are already itching for another opportunity to engage in large-scale trading.
Chen Dong said with a faint smile, "Wangcai, take a look at how much capital we can currently utilize."
Wangcai was taken aback, then looked at the others.
The group huddled together and whispered among themselves for a while.
Finally, Wangcai, holding his notebook, said while looking through it, "Boss, we currently have nearly $5 billion in funds available for immediate use. In addition, there's a lot of money invested in the futures and stock markets. It would be a losing proposition to withdraw this portion of funds in the short term."
In addition to being the primary operator, Wangcai also manages Chen Dong's accounts in Hong Kong.
Chen Dong nodded, then asked, "What about Huaxia Star?"
Upon hearing this, Wangcai shrugged and said, "There wasn't much money from Huaxia Star. The money we earned was used to shoot movies and do other events."
At this point, although box office revenue had already been generated, a large sum of money had not yet arrived due to issues involving settlements with multiple parties.
Moreover, even if all the box office revenue in 1992 were combined, it would only amount to 200 million, which was negligible for Chen Dong.
Chen Dong's long, slender fingers tapped on the table.
"$5 billion is still too little."
There is still some money at Dongya Bank, but Chen Dong does not plan to use it now.
This money was Chen Dong's backup plan, prepared for unforeseen circumstances.
Chen Dong would never withdraw funds from Polar Bear unless absolutely necessary.
at the same time.
Many people in Hong Kong's top wealthy circles received the same message.
First piece of news: Chen Dong has bought an oil field in Dubai, and according to reports, the oil field has reserves of 4 billion tons, which has made many people envious.
The second piece of news: Although Chen Dong successfully snagged a bargain, he inflated the price during the oil field auction, thus offending many people.
In addition, according to insiders, these capital groups have joined forces to boycott Chen Dong.
As the news spread, Hong Kong's top tycoons were all stunned.
They never expected that Chen Dong was the powerful figure who had humiliated two major capitalists in Dubai.
However, no one could understand how Chen Dong could remain so calm.
Despite offending two major capitalist forces at once, Hidden Dragon Residence remained remarkably calm.
Li Residence.
Li Ka-shing paced back and forth, a smirk playing on his lips, before bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
"Haha, Chen Dong, Chen Dong, you've finally met your match!"
In Li Ka-shing's view, Chen Dong's previous disregard for him was utterly despicable.
Now, Chen Dong is finally paying the price for his arrogance.
How could he offend two major financial institutions single-handedly?
They really are like newborn calves that are not afraid of tigers!
Even if Chen Dong has abundant funds, he probably won't be able to hold on for long.
Moreover, as time goes on, Chen Dong's situation will only get worse.
Thinking about these things made Li Ka-shing feel very happy.
