"I saw it. George, have you found out anything about the other party?"
"All we know is that it comes from Merrill Lynch, nothing else."
What are you planning to do?
"It's not me, it's us."
"What's the meaning?"
"Let's all team up and take this guy down. If you join us, our chances of winning will be much greater."
William paused for a moment, then asked, "How much funding can you prepare?"
George knew that William's question meant he was already interested, so he said, "12 billion US dollars, leveraged twenty times."
William gasped and said, "You guys are really playing for high stakes."
George laughed, "The other party has at most two billion US dollars, with ten times leverage. As long as we raise the price of gold to over one thousand US dollars, it will be enough to make them liquidate their accounts. Then, we can short the market and make a fortune."
William asked, "Will the policies affecting gold prices change?"
George confidently stated, "Absolutely not. Among our partners are high-ranking government officials from the United States."
William said, "Then let's go all out. I hope everyone will have the money ready on Monday morning, and I'll be in charge of the operation."
George laughed heartily and said, "You'll definitely be the one operating it."
William frowned after hanging up the phone.
His years of trading experience gave him a vague sense of crisis.
However, after considering all the factors that could potentially affect the price of gold, he did not find any problems.
Am I getting old and becoming more timid?
William smiled slightly and shook his head.
William, who had already achieved great success, let reason prevail over feeling, while Ronald, who had not yet fully made his fortune, let feeling prevail over reason. This gold futures battle seemed to be foreshadowing something.
It must be said that the upward momentum of gold prices is indeed very strong.
Even with Chen Dong and Ronald joining forces, they only managed to drive the price down by six dollars, and it quickly rebounded in the afternoon, even breaking through $670.
As gold prices broke through the resistance level, Shen Dong immediately ordered the cancellation of orders, keeping the price consistently adjusted to be $0.5 lower than the gold price.
Before the futures market closed, all of Shen Dong's contracts, totaling 21 billion US dollars, were sold off at a price of 668.2 US dollars, which was much better than Shen Dong had expected.
Song Zihao touched his nose and said with a wry smile, "Brother Dong, this time it's really a do-or-die situation for us."
Shen Dong smiled and said, "It's only two billion US dollars. Even if we lose it all, it doesn't matter."
Song Zihao said, "I have a feeling that someone attacked us in the final stage."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's right. I'm deliberately luring them. Ah Hao, immediately withdraw three billion US dollars from the stock market and ask Merrill Lynch for ten times leverage to buy short gold futures contracts. This time, I'm going to plunder these Western capitalists."
Song Zihao said, "Okay."
After leaving the VIP room, Shen Dong, Song Zihao, and the others entered the elevator.
Just as I was about to get off, the elevator doors opened again.
A middle-aged man in his fifties with sharp eyes walked in, escorted by several bodyguards.
Shen Dong felt that the middle-aged man looked familiar. After thinking for a long time, he realized that this was Ronald, the most powerful financial tycoon in his previous life.
Shen Dong both admired and disliked Ronald.
What I admire is his ability to single-handedly sweep across the global economy and cripple the financial systems of several countries; this is something that no ordinary person could do.
What's annoying is that he's not friendly to Xia Kingdom, and even plans to plunder Hong Kong Island.
After the defeat, Ronald frequently criticized Xia Guo, seemingly wanting revenge.
However, he did not succeed until Shen Dong traveled through time.
Ronald was somewhat surprised to see Shen Dong.
He had already heard from his friends that Merrill Lynch had a major client from Hong Kong in VIP room number one.
But he didn't expect this major client to be so young.
Ronald said, "Excuse me. Young sir, if I'm not mistaken, someone shorted gold today with over ten billion dollars. Was that your doing?"
Shen Dong asked with great interest, "Why do you think it's me?"
Ronald laughed and said, "I know almost all the business tycoons in the VIP room. They don't have the power, let alone the guts."
That old man is really arrogant!
Shen Dong did not hide anything and said, "It was indeed me."
Ronald asked, "Everyone thinks gold will break through $1,000, I don't understand why you think it will fall?"
Shen Dong explained, “In our Xia Kingdom, there is a Chinese idiom called ‘too much of a good thing.’ The price of gold has risen too sharply and cannot be sustained. So when everyone thinks that gold will rise, I think it will definitely fall. This is also the principle of ‘things reaching their extreme will reverse’ in our Xia Kingdom culture.”
Ronald praised, "Xia's culture is truly profound. Mr. Shen, quite a few conglomerates have already entered the market, and it seems they are here for you."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Then let's go. True warriors are not afraid of wind and rain."
At this point, the elevator had just arrived at the first floor.
Shen Dong smiled and nodded to Ronald, then led the group away.
Ronald watched his retreating figure and said to his assistant, "Investigate his background thoroughly. This young man is no ordinary person."
The assistant replied respectfully, "Yes."
At 1 a.m., a torrential downpour hit New York, causing power outages in many areas.
Shen Dong, Li Jie, Tian Yangsheng, and Feng Yuxiu, wearing black hoods and raincoats, arrived at the entrance of Morris Manor.
Sensing that Maurice was going to kill him, Shen Dong had already silently sentenced him to death.
The reason for setting the deal three days later was merely a delaying tactic.
Li Jie said softly, "Brother Dong, this rain came at just the right time; it'll help us hide our tracks."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "It is indeed a good day for killing. Let's go and finish this quickly."
All four were extremely agile, and in a few leaps, they climbed over the high walls of the manor.
Even in the pouring rain, Morris's five or six bodyguards did not give up their patrols.
As they passed through the area where Chen Dong and the others were, the four of them acted simultaneously and swiftly took them down.
Only Shen Dong left two survivors.
"Tell me, where is Maurice's bedroom?"
Li Jie and Tian Yangsheng each questioned a bodyguard.
One of the bodyguards opened his mouth, trying to shout, but Tian Yangsheng snapped his neck.
The other bodyguard was quite frightened and quickly said, "Mr. Morris should be in one of the bedrooms on the third floor."
"Click"
Li Jie showed no mercy and killed him as well.
After changing into the raincoats of these bodyguards, Shen Dong and his three companions walked confidently toward the villa.
Morris was extremely protective of his life, and to ensure his safety, his estate was filled with bodyguards.
There are three patrol teams, each with six people, each patrolling their own area.
