Chen Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "We can only offer a maximum of seven million US dollars; that's our bottom line."
"Eight million dollars, that's my bottom line," Ex said.
Chen Yao was speechless.
What the hell is this thing?
This is utterly absurd.
Jiang Tiansheng, who had been on the phone, patted Chen Yao on the shoulder and nodded to him.
Chen Yao said, "Okay. We'll give you a deposit of two million US dollars first, and then give you the remaining six million after the deal is done."
Ex chuckled and said, "No problem, it's a pleasure to work with you."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yao said angrily, "That foreigner is really cunning."
Jiang Tiansheng laughed and said, "Ax is known as the Fox of the Mafia. It's going to be difficult for you to take advantage of him."
Chen Yao said, "Mr. Jiang, do we really have to do this?"
It must be said that Shen Dong is a talented person.
Despite Chen Haonan and Dafei's recent success in the underworld, in Chen Yao's mind, the truly formidable figure is Shen Dong, followed by Han Bin.
If Shen Dong were to die, it would be an absolute huge loss for Hung Hing.
Jiang Tiansheng was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "A Dong's development is too fast. If he succeeds in attacking the US stock market, then even my influence will probably be less than his. As the saying goes, two tigers cannot share one mountain. It is basically impossible for the two of us to coexist in the long term, even if he has no intention of becoming the leader."
Chen Yao frowned and said, "Even if you want to kill him, why did you choose this time? You know, you just invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars in him. What will happen to this huge sum of money if Shen Dong dies?"
A glint of wisdom flashed in Jiang Tiansheng's eyes as he said, "You think this way, and so do others. As long as Shen Dong's death doesn't implicate me, it's all worth it. As for the five hundred million, don't worry about it too much. The loan agreement is written in black and white and has full legal effect. I can use the agreement to take over Shen Dong's businesses."
Chen Yao immediately understood Jiang Tiansheng's meaning, gave a thumbs up, and said, "Mr. Jiang is wise."
Jiang Tiansheng said, "I hope Ex can bring us good news."
On the other side, Ex took a sip of coffee and also fell into deep thought.
As one of the Mafia's top leaders, X's ability to survive in the treacherous world of Mafia is largely due to his foresight and prudence.
Axe knew very well what kind of entity the Hung Hing was in Hong Kong.
Despite his seemingly powerful mafia, his gang actually numbers less than one-tenth of the Hung Hing.
Even Jiang Tiansheng couldn't handle him, so it's not an exaggeration for Ex to value him so highly.
After finishing his coffee, Ex turned on his computer and found the photos Chen Yao had sent.
Judging from the photos, Shen Dong is just a handsome young man in his early twenties.
His smiling face made it impossible for Ex to associate him with a mafia boss.
"Cavan, come here for a second." Ex picked up the phone and called his most trusted subordinate, Caven.
Half an hour later, Calvin arrived at the villa and greeted Ex respectfully.
“Mr. Ex, you wanted to see me.”
Calvin is thirty-three years old, 1.9 meters tall, and muscular. Standing there, he looks like a small mountain.
This guy once had a record of 99 consecutive wins in underground boxing matches.
When he reached the hundredth match, he was ambushed but was saved by Kaven.
From that time on, Calvin became Ex's subordinate and remained loyal to him.
Ex pointed to the newly printed photo and said, "This man's name is Dong Chen. He's a leader of the Hung Hing triad in Hong Kong. He just arrived in New York today. Find him and deal with him. Remember, take a picture."
Calvin put the photos away and said, "No problem. I'll take care of it right away."
"Be careful," Ex said. "I always felt this guy wasn't so simple."
Calvin nodded and said, "Understood."
Ex waved his hand, and Calvin lowered his head, took three steps back, and then turned and left.
The next morning, Shen Dong arrived at the office building rented by Song Zihao.
More than twenty traders were already in place.
Upon seeing Shen Dong, everyone stood up and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Shen."
Shen Dong pressed his hands down and said, "You guys are busy, I just came up to take a look."
After everyone sat down, Song Zihao introduced, "Brother Dong, as per your request, each of them has opened an account to trade stocks and futures in the United States."
Shen Dong asked, "What is the maximum leverage?"
Song Zihao said, "Thirty times."
Shen Dong nodded and said, "That's enough."
Song Zihao swallowed hard and said, "Brother Dong, you're not really using thirty times leverage, are you? That's terrifying."
Shen Dong laughed and said, "No. I'll use ten times at most."
Song Zihao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good."
According to memories from my previous life, the stock price of the United States would begin to fall a week later, and everyone thought it was a technical adjustment.
No one expected that a stock market crash would break out next Monday, with the entire stock market plummeting by 35 percent and wiping out 500 billion US dollars.
Shen Dong only understood the general trend, but he was not clear about the rise and fall of specific stocks.
To ensure the absolute safety of his funds, Shen Dong dared not use too high a leverage ratio, so he chose 10 times.
Two billion US dollars, leveraged tenfold, is equivalent to two hundred and eight billion US dollars.
If he could earn 30%, or US$8.4 billion, Shen Dong would become one of the richest people in Hong Kong.
At that time, he will have no one to fear.
For several days in a row, Shen Dong accompanied his three girlfriends to shop all over the major shopping malls in New York. They spent a total of 10 million US dollars on clothes and jewelry alone, but this amount of money was nothing to Shen Dong.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, on his way back to the hotel, Shen Dong suddenly felt a pang of fear. A strong killing intent was coming toward him, making his skin crawl.
"There's an assassin!"
Shen Dong made a quick decision, immediately turning the steering wheel to the right, making the car turn a corner, and then correcting itself, startling the driver.
"What's wrong?"
No sooner had the driver finished speaking than a screeching sound came from the rear of the vehicle, as two objects collided with the car body.
Shen Dong's expression was gloomy, and his eyes were sharp. He could tell from the two sounds just now that they were the sounds of sniper bullets hitting the car.
There must be a sniper in one of the tall buildings on either side, trying to kill him.
Shen Dong said to the driver, "Get out of here as fast as you can now."
If it were Li Jie, he wouldn't need Shen Dong to say a word; he would already know what to do.
However, Li Jie had no choice but to hire a bodyguard to temporarily act as his driver, as he didn't have a driver's license in the United States.
This bodyguard's skill level was clearly not very good.
