That evening.
The news went viral worldwide.
This is the first time in history that an individual has triumphed over a national financial system.
As news continued to emerge, all the focus turned to one person: George Soros.
The following day, a large number of financial journalists rushed to interview George Soros.
Someone calculated it roughly.
George Soros made at least $2 billion on Black Wednesday by attacking the British pound.
Of this, 1 billion came from pounds sterling, and another 1 billion came from shorting the lira and the stock markets of island nations.
For several days afterward, George forced a smile in the face of interviews from various sectors.
Because he didn't earn that much money.
George certainly made a profit by shorting the lira for $400 million.
Meanwhile, the $600 million in the island nation's stock market was also targeted. George didn't even have time to act before the other party precisely manipulated the market and directly seized this huge sum of $600 million.
At this moment, George's traders, who were in charge of the stock market operations in the island nation, were all dumbfounded.
All that effort went wrong, and when I looked back, I hadn't gotten anything.
Strangely, George only made $100 million from his attempt to undermine the British pound.
And this $100 million was saved by the entire team working themselves to the bone.
The remaining $900 million was all pocketed by that mysterious fund.
Adding to the previous losses, of the original $2 billion, only $500 million remained in George's hands.
Throughout the entire confrontation, the opponent always has the upper hand.
Every time George was about to move his funds, the other side had already completed shorting. The precision with which they controlled the timing made George feel like he was seeing a ghost.
Faced with the media cameras and all the praise, George could only force a smile.
After all, in a situation like this, if George said he hadn't earned that much money, probably no one would believe him.
Imagine if the headlines in major media outlets today were: "Financial magnate George Soros attacks the British pound; a daring and audacious financial genius."
But once George reveals the truth, the headline will quickly become: "Financial tycoon George Soros attacks the pound; mysterious funds target Soros; who exactly is this mysterious financial genius?"
George felt like he was going to vomit blood just thinking about that scene.
Not making 1.5 billion is equivalent to losing 1.5 billion US dollars.
George can afford the loss, but he cannot afford to become a global financial laughingstock.
Furthermore, at this time, everyone believed that the powerful sum of money came from George's handiwork, and there were even reports that George had prepared two plans and used two methods simultaneously, all of which were praises of him.
Burdened by his fame, George Soros could only grit his teeth and bear it, swallowing his anger with no outlet for it.
After getting out of sight of everyone, George ordered an investigation into the matter.
He spent a lot of money, hoping to uncover the truth behind it.
However, just as the investigators were getting close to the edge, they were intercepted by a mysterious force.
There was no extra information whatsoever.
In the end, George spent $10 million and only got one message.
The funds that were targeted likely originated from China.
"What? You bastard, are you kidding me? There's someone in China who can stand up to me?"
Upon receiving the news, George instantly flew into a rage.
Even if the person who did the beating was his business partner, George wouldn't be this angry.
Because George never took Chinese capital seriously, which is consistent with the style of Western capital.
At this point, the other party said angrily on the phone, "George, I took your money to do the investigation. But countless of my brothers died because of this investigation! Do you know how serious my losses are? Let me tell you, this is our last business deal! I won't do business with you again. China is no longer the China you imagine!"
After I finished speaking, the other party hung up the phone immediately.
The boss who conducted the survey was also completely baffled.
His people had investigated some things in China before, but never with such serious consequences.
This time, however, their people were discovered by professionals. The financial spies were exposed before they could even successfully steal information.
The other party showed no mercy, killing the man on the spot without even interrogating him.
After that, this person was constantly harassed by a mysterious force.
His business was forced to shut down, so he had to try his luck elsewhere.
He dared not touch China again.
George was also incredibly frustrated, and in the end, he could only swallow his anger and resentment.
Internationally, George remains a renowned financial tycoon.
In reality, George's actions this time were a slap in the face, and he still doesn't know who slapped him.
In Hong Kong, in an office building next to the stock exchange, Wangcai and others cheered with joy.
"Haha, that's awesome! Guys, we've snatched $1.5 billion from George this time!"
"Chen is simply a genius! My God! What's going on in his head? Even I, a professional, am ashamed of myself!"
"The boss is amazing!"
Everyone was incredibly excited. Wangcai snapped out of his daze and hurriedly called Chen Dong.
Chen Dong, who was at Hidden Dragon Residence, also quickly received the news.
$1.5 billion, earned in a single day.
Chen Dong was understandably very happy.
As for the 400 million lira, Chen Dong initially chose to give it up directly.
Firstly, Wangcai has limited manpower, and there's no need to delay more things for the sake of 400 million in revenue.
