Chen Dong and his friends have a great time every day, and they also work very hard.
Everyone seemed to be wound up tightly, busy as bees.
After spending only a few days in Rio de Janeiro, Li Xiaoman, Prince Awad, and others left.
As the general manager of HSBC, Li Xiaoman could not stay abroad indefinitely and had to return to oversee the business.
However, Li Xiaoman seemed very reluctant to leave Brazil.
I've had such a wonderful time spending time with Chen Dong these past few days.
At this moment, leaving abruptly felt like torture for her, even though they could still meet in Hong Kong.
Compared to Brazil, where it's far from the central government and incredibly convenient, things are different back in Hong Kong. With so many acquaintances around, everything I do is restricted.
Not to mention, Li Xiaoman's recent phone call with her family, in which she said she wanted Chen Dong as her son-in-law, really scared her parents.
In their view, Chen Dong's willingness to spend $1 billion on his girlfriend truly demonstrates his extraordinary courage and boldness.
Li Xiaoman's mother even praised Chen Dong as a good man, but so what?
Most importantly, Chen Dong rescued Zhou Huimin.
This makes it even less likely that her parents will approve of her relationship with Chen Dong.
If Li Xiaoman really did have some kind of relationship with Chen Dong, then her future role is self-evident.
For a family like the Li family, this was absolutely unacceptable—their precious daughter becoming someone else's concubine.
At the same time, they believed that since their daughter probably had no chance, they would be very disappointed and heartbroken.
They were all worried that something might happen to her.
So Li Xiaoman's mother decided to come to Hong Kong to keep her company.
Perhaps if Li Xiaoman went back now, she would see her mother at her residence.
As for Prince Bawarid, he can't stay here forever for billions of dollars.
After all, he owns many businesses, and he's someone who enjoys having fun.
With so many beautiful sights and wonderful places to see, how could he possibly stay stuck here forever?
For Chen Dong, Rio is indeed a great place to travel, but his work focus is still in Hong Kong, where he needs to take charge of the work.
Moreover, after his friends left, he felt there was no point in staying.
At the same time, the operation of both the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real is a long process, and he doesn't need to stay here and keep an eye on it.
So after handing over the specific operational details of the project to Wangcai and letting him take full responsibility, Chen Dong left and flew directly to Hong Kong.
Wangcai was quite excited after receiving this task.
If all of this money is in place, the total amount will be over 9 billion US dollars.
Completing this mission will signify a new stage in his career, and he will be even more valued by Chen Dong, becoming one of his trusted confidants.
Over the next period of time, the funds that Chen Dong requested gradually arrived.
The total amount reached $9 billion, of which $6 billion was raised by Chen Dong himself.
Another $2 billion was provided by Saudi Prince Awad, Li Xiaoman, and other associates.
Meanwhile, Wangcai and his subordinates used their connections to secure $3 billion in loans from Chase, Merrill Lynch, and Standard Chartered Bank, after obtaining Chen Dong's consent, using Microsoft stock as collateral.
For this operation, Wangcai really went all out, even re-establishing the network of connections he had built up back on Wall Street.
Now that he has Chen Dong as his powerful backer, these bank executives look at him with new respect.
They originally thought that Wangcai would stay away from Wall Street and the financial industry, but unexpectedly, Wangcai made a triumphant return.
Wangcai thoroughly enjoyed the incredulous, almost divine gazes of the crowd.
Of course, he was equally ruthless when negotiating business with them.
He knew where his roots lay. As the Wolf of Wall Street, he maintained the Western style, clearly separating personal relationships from company affairs.
Although these executives were dissatisfied with Wangcai's tough stance and found it troublesome, they also believed in its professional competence and that Chen Dong, who was backing it, was indeed exceptionally capable.
Otherwise, Wangcai wouldn't have taken such a tough stance.
So although the negotiations were quite difficult, Wangcai and his team eventually achieved their goal.
After this experience, Wangcai really felt like he had finally gotten his revenge.
Once all the funds were in place, Wangcai flew back to Hong Kong to give Chen Dong a special report.
Under Chen Dong's instructions, Wangcai transferred these funds in batches to commercial banks with extensive operations in South America.
Then, using some of the funds as collateral, they borrowed Mexican pesos and Brazilian reals from relevant banks.
The reason for using the US dollars they held as collateral for the loan, rather than converting them entirely into Brazilian and Mexican currencies, was quite deliberate.
Because Chen Dong wanted to follow behind international speculators like Soros to pick up bargains, his targets were the currencies of these two countries.
It's fair to say that the currencies of these two countries are like hot potatoes; they can't possibly hold them directly.
First, once an attack is launched, the course of events is no longer within the control of any single agency.
Secondly, even if the borrowed foreign currency remains strong, it can be used to repay the loan, because at this time, the exchange rate between the country's currency and foreign currencies is unlikely to change significantly in the short term.
