Chen Dong listened to Xu Shixun's words and felt a mix of emotions.
As their conversation continued, Chen Dong understood the situation even more clearly.
In fact, Xu Shixun did not take his words seriously.
Although Chen Dong said he would compensate Xu Shixun, Xu Shixun no longer expects Chen Dong to actually give him any compensation.
For the sake of national righteousness and the interests of the motherland, Xu Shixun intends to bear the loss of HK$2 billion himself.
And this is just the beginning.
The two major financial powers used their connections to cause Xu Shixun heavy losses.
It can be said that this was a high-stakes gamble.
If Chen Dong loses, things won't be easy for Old Xu either.
Now, not only is Chen Dong going all out, but Xu Shixun's side is also fighting a desperate battle.
Chen Dong cannot afford to lose this high-stakes gamble.
At that moment, Chen Dong gritted his teeth and made a decision in his heart.
The more reasonable Xu Shixun was and the more determined he was to take responsibility for everything, the less likely Chen Dong was to watch Xu Shixun suffer.
Chen Dong took a deep breath, smiled faintly, and said into the phone, "Mr. Xu, I'll call you after I'm done here. We can talk about other things then."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shixun smiled and said, "Sure, no problem at all."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.
At this point, Xu Shixun believed that what Chen Dong was talking about was a different matter altogether.
...
The next day.
Chen Dong and Wolong were sitting in the HSBC president's office.
Li Xiaoman looked at Chen Dong and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Chen, I'm really curious, what important matter could have made you make such a special trip?"
Sunlight streamed in through the office window. Li Xiaoman was dressed in a pure white women's business suit, her hair was pulled up, and her delicate face, along with her bold red lipstick, made her look even more powerful.
Faced with such a mature and sophisticated woman, no man could help but take a few more glances.
At this moment, Chen Dong took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile, "There's something I really need to talk to you about."
As soon as Chen Dong finished speaking, Li Xiaoman told her secretary to leave and cancel all client appointments for the next time slot.
Inside the office, Li Xiaoman glanced at Wolong again.
Wolong showed no intention of leaving.
Li Xiaoman reluctantly stood up from the boss's chair. Her long, slender, and fair legs, accentuated by her white short skirt and high heels, made her even more charming.
"Mr. Chen, it's been a while since I last saw you, and I've noticed you've become even more manly."
Li Xiaoman sat down next to Chen Dong and looked at him with intense eyes.
Avoiding Li Xiaoman's flirting, Chen Dong said calmly, "I want to take out a loan."
"What?"
Hearing Chen Dong say that, Li Xiaoman was completely distraught.
Who is Chen Dong?
Even HSBC doesn't know exactly how much cash flow Hong Kong's top financial tycoons have.
Chen Dong has several billion US dollars in escrow funds in his HSBC account alone.
Not to mention Chen Dong's funds in the Hong Kong stock market, as well as the cash flow from other businesses.
Chen Dong needs to borrow money?
God must be playing a joke on Li Xiaoman.
Shocked, Li Xiaoman's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
Although she had doubts, Li Xiaoman did not ask them directly.
Li Xiaoman's ability to sit in the position of president of HSBC is naturally unmatched by ordinary people in terms of skill and vision.
Even now in Hong Kong, news of Chen Dong being sanctioned by two major capital groups is everywhere.
Some people even tried to find out where Chen Dong's funds were going through HSBC.
Li Xiaoman simply ignored those who wanted to inquire about information.
Li Xiaoman dismissed this with disdain.
Chen Dong has enormous capital power, so what if he is suppressed at this time?
Li Xiaoman immediately narrowed her eyes, looking at Chen Dong with amusement, and then smiled seductively, "Mr. Chen, do you have a new money-making project? If so, please give me a hand."
As Li Xiaoman took over as CEO of HSBC, she naturally needed to achieve results.
For Li Xiaoman, Chen Dong's arrival was an opportunity.
Chen Dong smiled faintly, "Giving you a hand isn't out of the question, but do you dare?"
Li Xiaoman nodded, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.
Chen Dong then smiled faintly and said, "I plan to target the British pound. The specific plan is complete, and I just need a few partners."
"What?"
Has Chen Dong gone mad?
Li Xiaoman exclaimed in surprise, "Targeting the British pound? Isn't that tantamount to declaring war on the United States? Besides, the British pound is the national currency. If you do this, will the Central Bank of the United States just stand by and do nothing?"
Chen Dong scoffed, "That's none of your concern. I'm just asking you, are you going to cooperate or not?"
Chen Dong cannot reveal the specific plan before it is confirmed.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoman immediately fell into deep thought.
In fact, Chen Dong was quite confident in his approach.
As long as the timing is right, attacking the British pound is as easy as eating for Chen Dong.
Li Xiaoman gritted her teeth and asked, "Mr. Chen, if we cooperate, how much funding do you need from me?"
“Five billion US dollars,” Chen Dong said calmly.
Li Xiaoman immediately felt a headache coming on, and said with a wry smile, "I will try to raise the loan, but what do you plan to use as collateral?"
To get a loan from a bank, you need collateral; otherwise, Li Xiaoman wouldn't have been able to get the funds out.
Chen Dong smiled faintly and said, "I'll use my US stock holdings as collateral."
