Sitting to the side, Xiang Huaqiang secretly admired him.
In fact, Xiang Huaqiang had these questions in his mind as well, but he lacked the courage of Ma Guoliang, and he was even less likely to ask them directly.
Let alone these two.
Others would also find Chen Dong's actions incomprehensible.
People might think that all wealthy people should be patriotic, but that's not the case. Countless wealthy people have emerged from China.
The result? Many wealthy individuals changed their identities and acquired other nationalities; such cases are not uncommon.
There are reasons related to national conditions, as well as reasons related to capital.
In short, there are very few successful businessmen who can still maintain a pure heart and wholeheartedly think about giving back to their country.
After Ma Guoliang finished speaking, he waited anxiously.
He didn't know whether he was about to face a raging inferno or something else...
As quiet as a whisper.
Everyone in the room held their breath.
They looked at Chen Dong with a mixture of anticipation and uncertainty, a sense of tension akin to that of taking the college entrance examination.
Chen Dong did not answer Ma Guoliang's question immediately, but instead took out a lighter and lit the cigarette.
He had asked himself this question more than once: was it worth it? The answer was yes.
Chen Dong took a deep drag of his cigarette, exhaled all the air from his lungs at once, and then slowly spoke, saying in a deep voice, "Before answering your question, I want to ask you a question."
Do you have your own enemies?
How is this question supposed to be answered...?
Enemies? There are many kinds.
Even if someone provokes you, they are still an enemy; even mortal enemies are still enemies. Specific situations require specific analysis.
However, it is undeniable that everyone, whether successful or ordinary, has their own enemies.
This person could be yourself, someone you dislike, or a business rival you absolutely must defeat.
These can all be considered as enemies.
A few seconds later.
Ma Guoliang nodded very seriously, and the others echoed him.
"have."
Upon seeing this!
Chen Dong smiled faintly, "I also have my own enemies, not the kind of business competitors you think of, but mortal enemies."
These words were spoken.
The room fell silent again, and everyone looked at Chen Dong in disbelief, even the usually taciturn Wolong.
"Boss, you're so strong. If someone is your enemy, how terrifying must that enemy be?"
Ma Guoliang asked with some concern.
Chen Dong's strength is not something many others have witnessed, but this does not include Wolong, Ma Guoliang.
Wolong is Chen Dong's personal bodyguard and driver, and knows everything about Chen Dong.
Ma Guoliang was Chen Dong's personal advisor, and before Chen Dong became successful, he was also responsible for Chen Dong's financial planning.
For example, when Russia disintegrated, Chen Dong's plans in Russia and his subsequent gains were inseparable from Ma Guoliang's behind-the-scenes assistance.
Only senior staff within the bank truly understand how the bank operates.
In addition, during his trip to the island nation, Chen Dong instructed him to acquire bankrupt automobile companies from the island nation's automotive industry.
Therefore, besides Wolong and his bodyguards, Ma Guoliang knew the most about Chen Dong's financial situation and was the most knowledgeable about it.
To put it bluntly, given Chen Dong's current wealth, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as richer than a country.
Even someone like that has enemies. Ma Guoliang really didn't dare to imagine how powerful Chen Dong's enemies would be, whether crushing them would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Chen Dong quickly provided his answer.
"As you might think, my enemy is not an individual, but a group of interests."
"This alliance of interests can even overthrow a country's regime."
"So? Are you scared after hearing this?"
Chen Dong's gaze lingered on the faces of the group for a few seconds, then he smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking to himself.
His enemies were the elites of Wall Street.
It is these elites who control the most powerful country in the world.
Military, politics, culture, ideology... almost every aspect.
Chen Dong wants to be an enemy of Wall Street, so he naturally has to face this unseen dark force.
To put it simply, in recent years, many honest and law-abiding businesses have been suppressed in every way simply because they are stronger than American companies in certain areas.
Without the support of a country, these suppressed companies would soon be devoured by their competitors, leaving nothing behind.
Chinese companies are not the only ones to suffer from this unfair treatment.
It can be said that, apart from American companies, any company from any other country that poses a threat to them is an enemy, including their allies.
This is a country composed of inferior races. Betrayal and fickleness are its basic operations, which did not exist two hundred years ago.
What makes him so arrogant and domineering? Is it just his technological and military strength? Wrong! The real reason he is powerful is plunder.
Chen Dong was facing such a rogue country, and relying solely on his own strength, he had no hope of winning.
The only hope is that China becomes strong, so that it can become the strongest shield behind Chen Dong.
He understood this better than anyone else.
"Is it really that strong? Could it be part of a single country?"
What Ma Guoliang thought was what others thought; otherwise, it simply wouldn't make sense.
Chen Dong just smiled when he heard this, but the smile looked forced and tinged with bitterness. "Sometimes a community of shared interests is far more terrifying than a single country."
