It was precisely because of these reasons, and the fact that he was in the wrong, that the gold merchants had lost several of their men at his hands before, so they did not dare to say anything.
At that time, the gold merchants behaved well for half a year, but as the price of gold continued to fall, they could no longer sit still.
In order to force the charter king to stop as soon as possible, they used many means.
However, those methods only hurt the charter king superficially. Not only did they fail to achieve the intended purpose, they also had the opposite effect, attracting his fierce attack.
During those months, both sides lost nearly a hundred men and a considerable amount of money.
Seeing that conventional means could not defeat him, the gold merchants had no choice but to call a truce and stop fighting.
There is no other way. If the fight continues, it will be a fight to the death. With the size of the charter ship king, even if he dies, he will drag several gold merchants with him to be buried with him.
Although the loss is a lot of money, you can still survive. But if you are dragged away to be buried with others, you really can't survive.
The gold merchants understood the situation, so they stopped.
They were unable to do anything to Baochuan Wang back then, and now that he holds such a large sum of money, the money merchants are even less able to do anything to him.
However, they did not give up. After discussion, they came up with an idea to divert the trouble away.
That is to announce the news that the charter king has made a lot of money.
Today, the strength of British capital in Hong Kong Island is still stronger than that of Chinese capital. As a Chinese capital, the ship charter king has the experience of annexing the British company Wharf Holdings and the strategy of abandoning ships and going ashore. If you knew that he held a large amount of funds, which British capital could sleep well?
You should know that any larger British financial group is involved in the real estate industry.
In this case, the British capitalists will most likely join forces to deal with him.
It would be even more amazing if the news spread all over the world.
From now on, no matter where the charter king extends his tentacles, the local business consortium will be extremely wary of him.
In this case, if he wants to make progress, he will need to spend more time, energy and money than usual.
Of course, there is a prerequisite here, which is that he cannot tell anyone the specific amount he earns.
Because that would easily make others lose the courage to fight against him.
Gold traders spread the news that the ship charter king had made over 10 billion US dollars in the London gold trading.
For a moment, the entire Hong Kong Island was in an uproar.
As soon as they received the news, the British financial group gathered together to discuss how to guard against the charter king in the future.
As for those Chinese investors who have good relations with the ship charter king, they all came to inquire about the truth of the matter.
The charter king had never concealed the fact that he was involved in London gold trading, and he had fought so fiercely with the gold traders before that this matter had already spread among the tycoons.
The tycoons only knew about this incident, but they didn't know why they were fighting among themselves, but now they know.
It must be that the charter king made too much money, and the gold merchants were anxious about the losses.
The main purpose of these Chinese investors coming to the company was not to inquire about the truth of the matter, but to find out how much money the ship charter king actually made.
Some might ask, if the gold merchants spread the news, wouldn't that hurt their own side as well as their enemies? Wouldn't the spread of this matter, because they resorted to impatience and resorted to such tactics, affect them?
The answer is yes, but the impact is not significant, far from the extent of causing self-harm.
Not everyone dares to use billions of US dollars and a hundredfold leverage to speculate in gold.
Li Xu dared to do this simply because he knew the trend of gold prices in the future.
You know, even so, he didn't dare to invest all the money at that time, and he had to leave most of the funds to prevent emergencies.
Therefore, most people will not invest too much money or use high leverage, which means that even if they try their best to make money, they will not make the gold merchants suffer heavy losses.
The reason why the charter king had a headache was that he didn't know how to answer.
He only made more than 3 billion. If he told the truth, no fool would believe it.
Gold merchants are known for their wealth and power. Although this number is large, it is not enough to make them anxious.
But if I report a figure of over 10 billion as the rumors say, what will I do if these people come to me to borrow money in the future?
If it's a small amount, he can still lend it out, but if it's a large amount, he can't take it out.
Moreover, he had already realized that the person who spread the news did so in order to arouse other people's vigilance and siege against him.
If I say that, I will play into the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes.
After thinking it over, the charter king decided not to answer the question directly, but just vaguely said that he made a decent profit.
As a result, this answer led those who came to consult to mistakenly believe that the amount he earned was indeed over 10 billion, and after returning, they worked hard to promote him.
This move was tantamount to adding fuel to the already boiling Hong Kong Island. Countless people dreamed of becoming someone like the ship charter king one day, and the British financial consortium gathered together again.
With the diligent spread of the gold merchants, the news that the charter king had earned tens of billions of dollars quickly spread throughout the world.
The world was in an uproar, and the charter king's international reputation became even more famous.
The mainland immediately sent an invitation, asking him to visit Beijing after the New Year.
...
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
On the other side, the convoy that Li Xu and his team were on arrived in Wuhan after two days of driving.
When we arrived at the gate of Wuhan Guest House, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
Seeing the long line of convoys, the gate guards were stunned and hurried forward to inquire about the situation.
Upon learning that the visitor was a Hong Kong businessman, the gatekeeper quickly opened the door and let him in. At the same time, he asked his companions to quickly notify the leader.
It was so late, so the hotel manager was certainly not here. In order to wait for him, Li Xu and his group did not directly book a room, but sat down in the restaurant and asked the hotel to arrange meals.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
