Li Xiaoman's expression turned serious, and she said, "Alright, I'll tell you why I'm laughing."
"Because I just read a report this morning about that amazing guy, Barings Securities. Ha, didn't expect that, did you? We've run into each other."
After Li Xiaoman finished speaking, she glanced at Chen Dong again.
In fact, after receiving news of this amazing boy, Li Xiaoman really wanted to introduce this relationship to Chen Dong and find a way to help him.
Upon hearing why Li Xiaoman said that, Zhu Yuehua asked in surprise, "Ah, you, how did you know too...?"
She paused for a moment, then gently patted her smooth forehead. "Oh, I forgot, your family certainly doesn't lack this kind of news."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoman simply smiled faintly.
She received this news from her father when she returned home a few days ago, and learned that Barings Bank is currently enjoying unparalleled success.
Because Barings Securities, a subsidiary of Barings Bank, is very powerful, especially because they have a star trader named Nick Leeson, who is known as "Lucky Boy".
He is exceptionally skilled and performs exceptionally well in options and securities trading. Even when the market is down and others are losing money, he can still make a profit.
In Li Xiaoman's opinion, Chen Dong was indeed very capable in finance, but she didn't know exactly how capable he was.
Li Xiaoman's father and all the high-ranking officials of the major institutions and conglomerates he could contact were praising the trader named Nick Leeson to the skies.
Although Li Xiaoman felt there was some exaggeration involved, she also believed that even if she took a discount, this person must have some impressive qualities.
She thought that if Chen Dong could join forces with the other party or cooperate with him, it would definitely bring him greater benefits.
The fundamental reason she did this was to maintain a better relationship with Chen Dong.
Over the past year, Chen Dong's investment focus has gradually shifted away from the financial sector and increasingly towards the real economy.
Seeing Chen Dong constantly running around, handling a lot of business, and meeting people from all walks of life, Li Xiaoman felt that he was too tired and felt sorry for him.
So she wanted to do something to make things easier for him and make him less tired.
Of course, although Chen Dong sensed that Li Xiaoman had something to say, he did not realize her true intentions.
He simply smiled, glanced at Li Xiaoman and Zhu Yuehua, and said, "What a coincidence! Come on, if you really should meet, then meet!"
He was delighted when he heard the news about Barings Bank because he had discovered an opportunity—an opportunity to own his own bank.
Just as Chen Dong opened his mouth, the two women simultaneously raised their wine glasses and clinked them together.
Then each of them took a small sip.
Zhu Yuehua said, "How about... you take the lead next?"
“No need, is there any point in continuing this conversation?” Li Xiaoman disagreed.
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Dong and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you aware of this?"
Chen Dong raised an eyebrow. "Of course I know, and I know more than you guys do."
"I don't think so," Li Xiaoman said, not believing Chen Dong's words.
Zhu Yuehua was also not very convinced.
Although Chen Dong had previously demonstrated his intelligence capabilities by revealing the Li Group's investment in Eagle Telecom, they still didn't quite believe that Chen Dong was so familiar with Barings Bank that he knew more than they did.
They believed that with their extensive network of contacts, especially in the banking and financial systems, they certainly knew more than Chen Dong.
Actually, it was their competitive spirit that prevailed.
However, they were unaware of Chen Dong's identity as a time traveler.
For a capable time traveler like Chen Dong, obtaining information is a very simple matter.
Even if it's just a fragment of information from a previous life, if you want to complete it and understand it in detail in this life, you only need to send someone to conduct a certain investigation and combine it with the current situation, and you can understand most of it, surpassing many people today.
Needless to say, the areas where the two are now suspicious are precisely the areas that Chen Dong has paid particular attention to, both in his past life and in this life.
As a finance professional, his identity makes him more concerned about this matter than the average person.
After learning about the collapse of Barings Bank, Chen Dong investigated from various angles to uncover the truth.
It is precisely his tireless spirit of in-depth research and learning that has enabled him to have a particularly thorough understanding of the financial field, far exceeding that of ordinary financial professionals. He has achieved such great success at a young age and founded his own company.
It was precisely the accumulation of his previous life that allowed Chen Dong to enter the financial industry relatively easily in this life, and to complete so many amazing operations with unbelievable methods, without a single mistake, making him a god in the financial industry.
So, Chen Dong just smiled and glanced at them.
"According to Ms. Zhu, you have received information that someone at Barings Bank's Singapore branch is very skilled in futures and options trading. Many large institutions entrust their money to them for management, and they have reportedly made a lot of money, with some institutions even making a fortune."
The two nodded vigorously, agreeing with Chen Dong's words.
"right!"
"That's right, that's how it is."
Chen Dong continued calmly, "I suspect you're planning to partner with Barings Bank to trade futures and options?"
Li Xiaoman feigned surprise, widening her eyes, "Are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"
"Be more reserved," Chen Dong said to her helplessly.
Zhu Yuehua: "As you expected, if possible, I would also like to do this project and find a way to get that super lucky kid to help me make money."
"Of course, don't blame me for not looking out for you. Didn't I just let you know? So, we won't forget you when we have good things to do." As she spoke, Li Xiaoman looked at Chen Dong and raised an eyebrow at him, her eyes sparkling with charm.
At the same time, her eyes revealed a hint of concern and tenderness.
Chen Dong hadn't expected that Li Xiaoman's eyes could convey so many emotions. Was he being too sensitive, or was her acting just too good?
Under Li Xiaoman's intense gaze, Chen Dong could no longer sit still.
The hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beautiful woman.
What have I done to deserve the favor of so many beautiful women?
Moreover, he did not want to be a short-lived emperor, nor did he want to have three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines.
He stood up, avoiding Li Xiaoman's ardent gaze, picked up the serving chopsticks, and put food into the dishes in front of her and Zhu Yuehua respectively. He also poured them wine, appearing particularly attentive.
"You're here, so hurry up and eat. Don't just talk without eating. Haha, wasting food isn't a good habit."
Li Xiaoman rolled her eyes at him helplessly and let out a soft snort.
