Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Dong was asked to stay for dinner.
The dishes were simple: one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, and a bowl of soup. It wasn't made to be too elaborate just because we were entertaining him.
Chen Dong didn't care about that at all. To be honest, he had eaten all sorts of delicacies in the past few years. Although the dishes were simple, the person who cooked them was extraordinary, and in Chen Dong's opinion, the taste was definitely among the best in the country.
"Kid, eat up. Or do you still think the food here isn't good enough for a big restaurant?"
Chen Dong quickly waved his hand, "Old Lin's food here is absolutely state banquet caliber, but..."
"But what?" When Old Lin wasn't smiling, his dignified expression always gave people a strong sense of pressure.
"I'm still a little shaken up."
Chen Dong scratched his head. Although he usually dared to joke with Old Lin and say harmless things, he was really afraid when it came to serious matters, especially today. The fact that a powerful tiger had been taken down like this had a significant impact on him.
Upon hearing this, Old Lin smiled meaningfully and said, "I saw you were quite impressive just now, what's wrong, are you all deflated now?"
"Mr. Lin, please don't make fun of me. I only said that because the situation wasn't critical." Chen Dong gave a wry smile. If he hadn't seen the situation heading in the worst direction, he wouldn't have wanted to step forward at this moment.
In particular, when Old Lin finally summoned the guard company, dozens of heavily armed soldiers, he was truly taken aback.
Honestly, back then, anyone who dared to make a rash move would have died in vain even if they were beaten to death.
"Alright, kid, stop trying to fool me," Old Lin said with a laugh. "But I still have to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Chen Dong asked, puzzled.
"Why should I thank you? Although you provoked the four major grain merchants this time, it's better to let it out sooner rather than later, so that many people in our country can see their wolfish ambitions."
"What are your plans next?"
“Of course, we should first drive the price down.” Chen Dong smiled upon hearing this and continued, “I’m shorting in the international grain futures market. At the current price, if I use leverage, at least the money I’m going to spend this time will be secured.”
"You, you." Hearing this, Old Lin laughed. Chen Dong was good in every way, but he was obsessed with money. He really didn't know what he needed so much money for at such a young age.
Little did he know that the money Chen Dong earned was nothing compared to what he would inevitably have to invest in in future industry competition. If he didn't take advantage of the financial crisis and black swan events to make more money now, he might never have the chance to make such quick money again.
By then, global resources will be completely rewritten.
"By the way, the real culprit who killed Ah Hu has been caught. After interrogation, we followed the clues and found the real mastermind behind it. Just like the intelligence we had before, it was indeed Jiang Fei and Ah Long who gave the order."
"Currently, these two people have been apprehended and are being held in the Chaoyang Detention Center. If you want to visit them, I'll have Secretary Wang write you a note later, and you can see them with that note."
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong himself was unsure of his own feelings.
Resentment, heartache, disappointment, bewilderment, and a similar sense of relief.
In fact, the group has known each other for four or five years now. They met when Chen Dong earned his first pot of gold from tea eggs, so it can be said that they became friends after a fight.
Of course, it wasn't that Chen Dong hadn't tested them. On the contrary, he had tested Jiang Fei, A Long, and A Hu multiple times with money. Take the resale of treasury bonds, for example. When he insisted on giving his brother-in-law Lin Zhiyuan 30% of the profits, wasn't that also a test for them?
It should be noted that at the time, 300,000 was an astronomical sum, but strangely enough, Jiang Fei and his companions held back.
There are also stocks, and trade with Russia.
Time and again, this made Chen Dong lower his guard against the three of them, and in his blueprint, he tailored three different markets for them.
But one thing is certain: these three markets will be pillar industries in China in the future, with a total output value exceeding one trillion yuan.
Sometimes, once you reach a certain amount of money, it really just becomes a bunch of numbers. In a sense, Chen Dong has earned more money than he could ever spend in this life, the next, or the life after that. What he hopes to do more is use this money to pursue certain spiritual goals.
When Chen Dong came out of Old Lin's courtyard, it was completely dark outside, and the orange streetlights cast long shadows.
Outside the alley, Wolong, Fox, and their bodyguard team had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Chen Dong, they immediately greeted him.
"Hello, boss."
Chen Dong nodded, his expression still not fully recovered, and forced a smile as he asked the others.
Have you eaten yet?
"Boss, we've already had everyone eat in turn." Wolong answered Chen Dong's question as he opened the car door. After Chen Dong got in, he continued, "Boss, are we going back to the courtyard house now, or somewhere else?"
"Go to Chaoyang Detention Center."
“Yes, boss.” Wolong didn’t say it aloud, but he already had a vague idea in his mind. Then, he reversed the car a few steps, then turned the car smoothly around the corner and headed towards the detention center.
"Hello comrade, visiting hours have already passed. Please come again tomorrow during the day."
As soon as they got out of the car, they were stopped by soldiers at the entrance of the detention center.
