After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong called Jimmy and Xiao Ma over.
"The Northern Soviet Union has disintegrated."
"Very good!"
Upon hearing Shen Dong's words, Ahua, Jimmy, and Little Ma jumped up excitedly.
All three were high-ranking executives at Tengfei Group and knew that Shen Dong had used 30 billion US dollars to short the ruble exchange rate.
As long as the Northern Soviet Union disintegrates, Tengfei Group will definitely make a fortune.
Little Ma asked, "Brother Dong, how much money can we make this time?"
Shen Dong said, "After deducting handling fees and other expenses, we can earn about 80 billion US dollars."
"Holy crap."
Little Ma swung his arm vigorously and said, "That's fantastic! Now, our Tengfei Group has no choice but to become number one in the world."
Shen Dong said, "Forget it. Those Japanese conglomerates all have assets of over a hundred billion US dollars, but they were still thrashed by Wall Street and are now licking their wounds. Even if we add these seven or eight hundred billion US dollars to our Tengfei Group, we are only comparable to them. If we don't keep a low profile, we won't even know how we died in the end."
"You must remember, for a group to prosper in the long run, money is not the most important thing; the most important thing is real industry. The reason why I have established so many companies instead of simply engaging in financial investment is because I clearly know that the future belongs to technology and manufacturing. As long as the real industry is done well, no matter how dangerous the situation our Tengfei Group faces in the future, we will not have any problems."
Jimmy gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Dong is brilliant."
Shen Dong waved his hand and said, "Stop flattering me. I've already handed over the money-making business to Ahao and Liu Dong. You two go to Northern Soviet Union and invite those top experts from Northern Soviet Union to work for our Tengfei Group."
Ahua said, "No problem. We can bring a few experts from the North Soviet Union from within the company to invite them. With their personal testimony, we'll definitely be able to persuade those top scientists."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "If Tengfei Group wants to take the lead in the technology field, talent is the key. Whatever the experts are: communications experts, chip experts, physicists, mathematicians, network software experts, network hardware experts, applied materials experts, high-precision equipment R&D experts, engine experts, etc. In short, no matter what field they are in, as long as our Tengfei Technology Company can use them, you must do your best to bring them here. I don't think we have too many, we only think we have too few, understand?"
"clear."
The three agreed and turned to leave.
Ten minutes later, Shen Dong received a call from the old man.
"Xiao Shen, are you busy? Is it a convenient time to talk?"
Shen Dong smiled and said, "Just finished. Grandpa, are you trying to ask about the disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union?"
The old man said, "That's right. You were able to predict the disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union a year ago. You're really amazing."
Shen Dong said, "This only shows that I'm lucky. To be honest, all my working capital has been invested. If nothing had happened in Beisu, I would probably have had to jump off a building."
The old man said, "Forget it. Even if you lose all that money, you won't jump off a building."
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "Just exaggerating a bit. Grandpa, is everything alright with the government?"
“We made some preparations in advance. Unrest is inevitable, but the problem won’t be too big. We can also use this incident to see who will step forward.”
"As expected, experience matters. You are wise indeed."
"How could I be as brilliant as you? You made a fortune this time, didn't you?"
"good."
"A period of turmoil and disorder in the Northern Soviet Union is inevitable. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we'd like to purchase some weapons, equipment, and military technology, and at the same time, recruit a large number of scientific research talents. What do you think?"
"That's definitely a good thing. How can I help?"
"Act as an intermediary between us and the other party."
"Sir, there's no problem with the military aspect, but I'm afraid I can't help with talent recruitment."
"What's the meaning?"
"Because Tengfei Technology Company has already sent people to North Sudan to contact those top experts. In this respect, we are in a competitive relationship."
"Hahaha"
The old man chuckled and said, "I knew you'd have something big planned. Alright, let's compete fairly. As long as we don't get picked up by the US or other Western countries, that's a victory for us."
The speed at which the ruble's exchange rate plummeted completely exceeded Shen Dong's expectations.
In just three days, Shen Dong had already achieved his goal and withdrawn from the financial market.
Even Shen Dong found it hard to believe that they had made 90 billion US dollars in just three days.
This money is too easy to earn.
Another week later, the ruble's exchange rate plummeted again, becoming almost worthless.
The wealth accumulated by the Northern Soviet Union over decades was wiped out overnight.
Wall Street and Western financial groups made a fortune.
Of course, some greedy fools refused to sell their short positions at a high price, resulting in all their short positions being stuck in their hands.
After the collapse of the Northern Soviet Union, a battle for expert talent ensued.
Representatives from the Xia Kingdom government, Western governments, major Western conglomerates, and Shen Dong's Tengfei Group were present.
Everyone knows that the main reason for the disintegration of the Northern Soviet Union was that they were misled by Western countries. As a result, top scientific experts had no goodwill towards Western countries and most of them preferred to go to the Xia Kingdom.
Compared to the Xia Kingdom government, Tengfei Group offered them much better treatment and research environment, so at least 70% of the experts chose Tengfei Group, which made Shen Dong very happy.
