Li Zekai was silent for a moment, then said, "I might take out half of it, and when I've made 15%, I'll take the profit and withdraw immediately."
Li Ka-shing asked, "What does this mean?"
Li Zekai said with a wry smile, "It shows that I lack confidence and have a speculative mentality."
Li Ka-shing said, “Don’t be discouraged. Your approach is the same as mine, and it’s the safest way. Compared to Shen Dong’s courage and diligence, we are indeed more conservative, but conservatism means safety, and safety is what matters most for a family.”
Li Zekai said, "Dad, I just found out that Shen Dong withdrew a large sum of money, about seven billion US dollars, so he is not entirely confident in his judgment."
Li Ka-shing frowned and said, "This doesn't seem like something he would do. Where did the money go?"
Li Zekai was taken aback and said, "We only know that it's not in Tengfei Group's accounts."
Li Ka-shing pondered for a moment and said, "You said before that Du Yuxin, the president of Xia Hua Society, visited Tengfei Group twice, is that right?"
Li Zekai nodded and said, "Yes. The day after his visit, Shen Dong withdrew more than seven billion... Hmm, could that money have come from the mainland?"
At this point, Li Zekai's expression changed drastically.
If this sum of over seven billion US dollars is indeed related to the mainland government, it means that the mainland government's trust in Shen Dong has reached an unprecedented level.
Li Ka-shing said, "It's very possible. If the mainland government really entrusts Shen Dong with the operation of its already limited foreign exchange reserves, then we will have to reassess Shen Dong's position in the mainland government's eyes."
Li Zekai nodded and said, "I will have someone investigate this carefully."
On the other side, Shen Dong learned about Li Ka-shing's actions from Jimmy's report and couldn't help but praise him.
"Old ginger is spicier. I have to admit, Li Ka-shing's move this time was truly brilliant," Shen Dong said while eating.
Upon hearing this, Li Xinxin couldn't help but smile and said, "Qiu Ti, have you noticed that the sun rose from the west today?"
Qiu Ti nodded and said, "I've found it."
Ou Yongen and Haitang exchanged a glance and both smiled.
Shen Dong understood what the two women meant, and said irritably, "I admire his ability, but that doesn't mean I admire his character. Both times he entered the market, he chose the right time, almost maximizing his profits. Such vision and courage are not something that ordinary people possess."
Haitang asked, "Then why didn't you back out back then?"
Shen Dong shrugged and said, "Li Ka-shing invested less money and his scale is smaller, so he can leave at any time. My scale is too large. Once I make a move, it will immediately attract the attention of Wall Street financial giants and may trigger a chain reaction. Therefore, at this critical moment, my best option is to lie flat and play dead."
Ou Yongen said, "Now it seems your strategy was absolutely correct. Honey, how much money did you make this time?"
Shen Dong said, "It should be around 20 billion US dollars, right?"
The four women were utterly shocked upon hearing this.
More than 20 billion US dollars, that's absolutely terrifying.
Li Xinxin sighed and said, "You really know how to make money."
Shen Dong raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "It's not important to know how to make money; what's important is knowing how to spend it."
Li Xinxin asked, "How do you plan to spend it?"
Shen Dong laughed and said, "You'll find out later."
During this period, in addition to handing over the money to the mainland government, Song Zihao also sent people to collect a lot of information about Japan in the fields of electronics, communications and the Internet, involving more than 100 companies.
He wants to organize experts to select the top few companies from these hundred-plus companies for acquisition.
In addition, Shen Dong also instructed Song Zihao to purchase a large number of scientific and technological patents from Japan.
If you can't buy ownership, then buy the right to use it.
In short, any patented technology that is useful for Shen Dong's future research and development should not be overlooked.
Anyway, Shen Dong has plenty of money, so he's going to take this opportunity to poach all the technologies that Japan has developed over the past few decades.
Malay Island Government
Mahmoud stared at the two million dollar check on the table, a greedy glint in his eyes.
"Mr. Victor, what do you mean by this?"
Wollaston Victor said, "We want to avenge the Lions mercenaries, and we hope you can help us."
Mahmoud frowned and said, "The Tenglong Mercenaries already own those 100-plus square kilometers of land. I cannot ask the Malaysian government to send troops to help you."
Wollaston Victor quickly waved his hand and said, "This is a grudge between us and the Tenglong Mercenaries. We don't need your help."
Mahmoud said, "The Tenglong Mercenaries possess very strong military capabilities, no less than the Malaysian regular army. Defeating them will not be an easy task for you."
Wollaston Victor said confidently, "This is our problem. Mr. Mahmoud, we just need to use your port to transport the weapons, and it will absolutely not involve you. We will reward you handsomely after it's done."
Mahmoud thought for a moment and said, "There is a Chinese idiom in Xia Kingdom: the winner is king, the loser is a bandit. I don't care about your affairs; whoever wins depends on their own abilities."
Wollaston Victor laughed and said, "That's exactly what I wanted to hear."
After chatting for a while, Wollaston Victor said goodbye and left.
After personally seeing Wollaston Victor off, Mahmoud immediately turned around and called Chen Hui.
Compared to the deep-pocketed Tenglong mercenaries, the US conglomerate is incredibly stingy.
