The moment this giant satellite was unveiled, the entire conference room was in an uproar.
"Holy crap, two hundred billion US dollars?"
"My God, how is this possible?"
With a combined cash flow of up to 20 billion, Shen Dong has truly cemented his status as Hong Kong's richest man.
"What do you mean, the richest man in Hong Kong? If this is true, then Shen Dong is the undisputed richest man in the world."
"I'm particularly curious now, just how much wealth does Shen Dong have? It's probably over 50 billion US dollars, right?"
"Now Hang Seng Bank is safe, and its stock price will definitely soar."
"Surge my ass, there are no shares left to circulate outside."
......
Liu Dong, sitting in the audience, was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out.
Not only him, but even Jian Aowei had an incredulous expression.
“Yong’en, is what A-Dong said true?” Jian Aowei asked.
Ou Yongen said, "It's fake."
"Is he bluffing?" Jian Aowei said.
Ou Yongen laughed and said, "What I mean is that he underestimated it; the actual profit is more than 20 billion US dollars."
Jian Aowei was speechless.
Liu Dong asked, "Yong'en, how much money did Mr. Shen use?"
Ou Yongen said, "He was bearish on the Japanese stock market six months ago and had been preparing to short the Japanese economy. Some time ago, my husband mortgaged almost the entire Ascendas Group to those banks and borrowed 15 billion US dollars. Then he used five times leverage to short the Japanese stock market. He lost a lot at first, but when the Japanese stock market collapsed, he made a fortune."
Liu Dong said, "Mr. Shen is really taking too much of a risk."
Ou Yongen shook her head and said, "Brother Dong always plans things out before acting. Even if he fails in the end, it won't be a fatal blow to Tengfei Group. Because the stocks of the companies Brother Dong bought overseas are soaring at a rocket speed."
Jian Aowei couldn't help but ask, "Yong'en, how much wealth does A-Dong actually have?"
Ou Yongen said, "I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know the answer to this question. However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that it's definitely no less than 60 billion US dollars."
Liu Dong exclaimed, "Mr. Shen is truly amazing. It's unbelievable that such a financial genius never even went to university."
Ou Yongen gazed affectionately at Shen Dong on the stage and said, "The man I've set my sights on is, of course, a dragon among men."
The representatives of the American conglomerates all frowned upon hearing Shen Dong's words.
Shen Dong smiled and said, "I hope you guys can withdraw your money as soon as possible by tomorrow, as a contribution to the other depositors of Hang Seng Bank."
Allen snorted and said, "We'll see."
After these people left, Shen Dong announced loudly, "Dear journalists, Hang Seng Bank is about to enter a new era. We will be launching a series of measures to better serve the people of Hong Kong Island. Please stay tuned."
Song Zihao said, "Alright, that concludes today's press conference."
Stepping out of the conference room, Shen Dong said to Song Zihao, "Ah Hao, I need to receive a guest. You take the brothers directly to Hang Seng Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, and pay close attention to the account transactions of those senior officials in Hong Kong. If there are any abnormal transactions, record them immediately."
The top brass of the United States only trust Hang Seng Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, which have done countless bad things over the past few decades.
Shen Dong's goal was to uncover their privacy and make them completely obedient.
Song Zihao said softly, "Since last night, we have been implementing a 24-hour shift system and have already uncovered quite a few problems. This afternoon, I will summarize them and report back to you."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ten minutes later, Shen Dong met Jian Aowei and Liu Dong in the reception room.
As the hostess, Ou Yongen made a cup of coffee for the three of them and then sat down next to Shen Dong.
Jian Aowei exclaimed, "Ah Dong, you're really amazing."
Shen Dong was taken aback and asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
Jian Aowei said, "Most Hong Kong businessmen lost a lot of money in the Japanese stock market, but you made more than 20 billion US dollars and even took over Hang Seng Bank from the American consortium. I feel that your operation is worthy of being included in Harvard's finance textbook."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "Uncle Jian, you flatter me. I was just lucky and bold."
Jian Aowei smiled and said, "It's rare that our Mr. Shen has also learned to be humble."
Shen Dong said, "I'm just stating the facts. Take Hang Seng Bank for example. Although I used some methods to deal with the issue of those American conglomerates withdrawing their funds, the crisis is not over, and Hang Seng Bank is still in a precarious situation. If we're not careful, big trouble will arise. Mr. Liu, if you were in charge of Hang Seng Bank, what would you do?"
Jian Aowei and Ou Yongen knew that Shen Dong's interview with Liu Dong had begun, and they both looked at him.
Liu Dong had clearly considered this issue, and said, "Mr. Shen, if I may be frank, you and the American conglomerates are already at odds. Not only will they withdraw, but government departments that have cooperated with Hang Seng Bank for decades will probably follow suit, after all, the current head of the government is still the American."
"To completely resolve the crisis at Hang Seng Bank, we must retain our existing customers while finding a super-large customer that can replace the U.S. government and U.S. conglomerates."
Seeing Shen Dong frowning and looking somewhat uncertain, Jian Aowei became anxious and said, "Adong, everyone knows what you're saying. The key question is, where are you going to find such a super-sized client?"
Liu Dong said confidently, "Ordinary citizens. Hong Kong Island has more than six million people. If each person only needs to deposit HK$20,000, the problem with Hang Seng Bank can be easily solved."
Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What do you intend to do?"
Liu Dongdao said, "First, there's the interest rate, and second, there's the service. The interest rate is self-evident; Mr. Shen's subsidy policy is enough to attract countless Hong Kong residents to deposit their money. What we need to pay attention to is the service. It's not just Hang Seng Bank; all the major banks on Hong Kong Island have a very big problem: they don't focus on service. They prioritize large and medium-sized clients while discriminating against small clients, leading to a very poor attitude towards banks among Hong Kong citizens. If I were to take office, the first thing I would do is conduct large-scale training for Hang Seng Bank's service personnel, and then attract ordinary citizens with high-quality service."
Shen Dong praised, "Service-oriented banking is the inevitable path for the future development of the banking industry. It is very commendable that Mr. Liu can see this point. The problem is, even if Hang Seng Bank's service becomes the best in the world, and the vast majority of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong deposit their money in Hang Seng Bank, so what? The total amount of deposits will at most remain the same as before, and it will be difficult to achieve any development."
Liu Dongdao said: "Therefore, after stabilizing Hong Kong Island, we should encourage Hang Seng Bank to venture out boldly."
Shen Dong asked with great interest, "Where to?"
Liu Dong replied without hesitation, "Inland."
