When they heard Ah Wah stop calling him Mr. Chiang and Brother Yiu, Cheung Hing and Ah Long knew that Hung Hing was in big trouble.
Just then, the door to the room opened.
Shen Dong, who had been lying in bed, appeared before everyone.
Ahua and the others immediately stood up and called out, "Brother Dong!"
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "We're all brothers, no need to be so polite. Oh dear, how did Aqing get hurt?"
Ahua said, "He's not telling the truth."
Shen Dong said "Oh," and then added, "Then he deserved it. Ah Lang, wasn't my acting pretty good?"
Ah Long said with a wry smile, "Brother Dong, if you were an actor, you would definitely win the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actor."
Shen Dong laughed heartily and said, "I think so too. I've already obtained the evidence that Jiang Tiansheng spent eight million US dollars to buy my life. If you're willing to tell the truth, it'll at most be considered circumstantial evidence. If you don't tell the truth, this day next year will be the anniversary of your deaths."
After saying that, Shen Dong waved to Ahua.
Ahua understood and turned on the camera next to him.
Alang and Zhang Qing's faces immediately turned extremely ugly.
The two men knew very well that if their words were recorded, Jiang Tiansheng would definitely not let them off the hook.
But if they don't tell, they will die immediately.
As the saying goes, when faced with two evils, choose the lesser. Alang and Zhang Qing took turns repeating Chen Yao's orders.
After saying that, Alang knelt down on the ground and said, "Brother Dong, help me."
Despite the pain, Zhang Qing knelt down as well and said, "Brother Dong, help me."
Shen Dong helped the two up and said with a smile, "After you go back, just say that I am dead, and don't say anything else. A week later, when I return to Hong Kong, I will send someone to send you abroad. Remember, during this time, you cannot reveal any clues. Otherwise, no one can save you."
Ah Lang looked miserable and said, "Going abroad is great, but after all these years, besides a house, I only have tens of thousands of yuan in savings. It's hard to make a living."
Shen Dong said, "Don't worry. I will buy your house at the market price and give you an extra HK$200,000 as a token of my appreciation."
Ah Lang and Zhang Qing were overjoyed and said in unison, "Thank you, Brother Dong."
Shen Dong said, "You're welcome."
Having dealt with those two guys, Shen Dong focused all his energy on stocks.
He instructed Song Zihao to withdraw the $320 million in bank drafts from Citibank and UBS, at the cost of losing $20 million in interest.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Dong used ten times leverage to short the Nasdaq index.
By the time the market closed on Friday, he had made over two billion US dollars from the US stock market.
Song Zihao advised Shen Dong to take his profits and quit while he was ahead, but Shen Dong not only refused, but also used more than 5 billion US dollars to short more than 30 stocks with a leverage of 10 times.
Seeing Shen Dong's madness, Song Zihao couldn't help but secretly find Li Xinxin, Qiu Ti, and Ou Yongen to persuade Shen Dong.
To cooperate with Shen Dong's faked death, the three women have stayed in their room for the past few days and haven't gone out shopping.
The three women were quite shocked to learn that Shen Dong had spent over five billion US dollars to buy up the US stock market.
After Shen Dong returned to his room, Li Xinxin said, "Brother Dong, I heard from Brother Hao that you used over 5 billion US dollars to short more than 20 stocks? Is that true?"
Shen Dong raised an eyebrow and said, "It's not fifty billion, it's five hundred billion, because I used ten times leverage."
Ou Yongen said, "How can you be sure that the US stock market will crash next Monday? What if it doesn't crash and instead goes up?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Go back to being a beggar, what else can I do?"
Ou Yongen said irritably, "We're talking about serious business with you, so be serious."
Qiu Ti said, "Brother Dong, we've been doing some research on the US stock market these past few days since we had nothing to do. Many well-known stockbrokers say that the recent plunge is only temporary and it will definitely rebound next week."
Shen Dong scoffed at this, saying, "If experts were so great, they would already be the world's richest people. This afternoon, more than ten small and medium-sized banks went bankrupt, which is a harbinger of a financial crisis in the United States. I'm betting that by next Monday, or at the latest by next Wednesday, the US stock market will collapse across the board, with a drop of at least 50%."
"Just in case, I set the selling price at 30%. If my judgment is correct, my profit will reach more than 15 billion US dollars. After paying personal income tax, I will still have more than 12 billion US dollars."
"Hehe, if I were in Hong Kong, my wealth would rank in the top ten, and becoming a tycoon would only be a matter of time."
Ou Yongen took a deep breath and said, "All of this is predicated on the US stock market crashing next week."
Shen Dong said confidently, "I came to this conclusion after studying the US stock market for more than half a year. Ladies, how about we make a bet?"
The three women asked in unison, "What are we betting on?"
Shen Dong said, "By next Wednesday, my profits will definitely exceed 12 billion US dollars. If I lose, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. If I win, then it's the other way around—you'll do whatever I tell you to do. How about it? Are you willing to bet?"
The three women exchanged glances, nodded, and said, "Let's bet."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Then let the facts speak for themselves."
Hong Kong Island
Hongxing Tuodi
Jiang Tiansheng organized a meeting of the leaders from various regions.
After finishing their business, Jiang Tiansheng asked, "Ah Bin, you and Ah Dong have a good relationship. Have you heard anything from him in the last few days?"
After Alang and Zhang Qing returned, they handed the photos of Shen Dong they had taken to Jiang Tiansheng.
