That's right, after casting so much bait, it's finally time to haul in the catch.
Having learned from his past life, Zhao Chen knew that the financial crisis in this world would come later than he had previously anticipated.
The Asian financial crisis is expected to erupt around October of this year.
This may be due to the butterfly effect resulting from his rebirth, or it may be caused by various other factors.
In any case, he has already laid the groundwork for his plans before the financial crisis.
He had previously obtained huge loans in both Siam and Russia.
He immediately converted the loaned funds into US dollars and then conducted various foreign exchange transactions.
With the financial crisis, the Thai baht and ruble have depreciated wildly. What used to be worth tens of millions of US dollars in Thai baht can now be repaid with just a million US dollars.
The same applies to the ruble.
Moreover, Zhao Chen had previously obtained even more loans from the Russians through special channels of the Williams family.
Therefore, after this foreign exchange surplus and deficit operation, Zhao Chen almost directly gained hundreds of millions of US dollars.
The most dangerous thing is that he took these US dollars that had already been exchanged, claiming that he would put them into some industrial investments.
But in fact, he had already accessed the foreign exchange account using his hacking skills.
Furthermore, they executed several precise trades, profiting handsomely from shorting the foreign exchange market.
To facilitate these operations, Zhao Chen also had Charles help register several offshore companies.
After going through several rounds of transactions, it has all been laundered into cash that can be used domestically.
From this moment on, Zhao Chen truly had the confidence to control the internet world!
Now, he can truly shop all over the country and even the world.
Many businesses are still in their early stages or are currently experiencing a downturn.
For example, Apple, which hasn't yet created a "God Phone," and Facebook, which hasn't even existed yet.
After all, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is still just a young man, and hasn't even gone to college yet...
Of course, in the United States, not just anyone can buy shares in these companies.
Therefore, Zhao Chen still needs a spokesperson.
Although Charles is his partner, his funds have grown rapidly as he has gained more and more benefits from Zhao Chen, and there is no guarantee that things will not change in the future.
Therefore, Zhao Chen still needs to find a trustworthy person.
However, Charles can still be used at the beginning, and we can let him fill in for now.
While Zhao Chen was making a fortune here, his major enemies were now in a state of gloom and despair.
First, there was the Zhao family, who made substantial investments in Siam and Vietnam. However, the foreign exchange market was volatile, and most importantly, the Southeast Asian financial crisis swept across various countries.
The projects they invested in were directly and severely damaged.
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Guohua was so angry that he vomited blood, fainted, and was hospitalized.
His previous plan was perfect; he wanted to expand into the global market through cooperation between domestic and international partners.
As a result, the countries of Siam and Vietnam, to which he had just placed a heavy bet and invested a great deal of effort, encountered such a disaster, which directly caused his investment to go down the drain...
Billions of dollars in assets were thus quickly swallowed up by the market.
The Zhao family has suffered a severe blow, which could potentially trigger a domino effect.
Will they be able to enjoy the same glory as before?
After Zhao Guohua fell into a coma and was hospitalized, the entire Zhao family was thrown into chaos.
It was only because Zhao Siyu, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, had already established herself firmly within the group that the entire group was prevented from descending into chaos.
However, it's inevitable that people's hearts would waver in private.
Meanwhile, Qin Lang, who wanted to cause trouble for Zhao Chen, also heard the bad news.
Their family has made a significant investment in Russia to the north and maintains extremely close ties with the country.
Most importantly, they gained huge benefits when the older brother disintegrated, which is why they became one of the top tier of elite clubs in the country.
Later, they placed a large bet on the Russian side and achieved tremendous success, and it seemed like they were about to reap the rewards.
As a result, such a huge blunder occurred on the Russian side, and most of the money they invested evaporated instantly.
The Qin family suffered a devastating blow and is now scrambling to make amends.
So much so that Qin Lang didn't even have time to make a move against Zhao Chen before he couldn't sit still in Shanghai and had to return to Beijing.
Although he was still a student, he was well aware that in such important family affairs, getting involved early was the best way to avoid trouble.
Although the eldest brother is capable, if he doesn't improve himself, it will be impossible for him to gain more power in the family in the future.
There is no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children now; it is the capable who takes the place!
He didn't care about any of that; he just wanted to get the bigger benefits.
This was a huge disaster for the entire family, but for him, it was also a huge opportunity!
Therefore, Qin Lang immediately dropped out of his studies here and rushed back to the capital.
Zhao Ziyun, who had originally planned to use Qin Lang's influence to cause trouble, was now utterly bewildered to see his powerful backer, the Second Young Master Qin, flee and the Zhao family suffer another heavy blow.
"What happened? How could this be?"
"This shouldn't be happening, this shouldn't be my life!"
"Is the Zhao family about to fall?"
"The Zhao family hasn't even passed into my hands yet, I haven't even gotten all the benefits, and now it's going to vanish into thin air?"
He felt incredibly panicked; he had a feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Zhao Ziyun felt that Zhao Chen was largely responsible for the Zhao family's current predicament, so he naturally pointed the finger at Zhao Chen.
While he was distraught, he also felt a sense of madness. He couldn't remember the mistakes he had made before, and instead went straight to Zhao Chen:
"Zhao Chen, explain yourself!"
"Did you already know that the Zhao family was going to suffer? Is that why you severed ties with us so early, trying to avoid these calamities?"
"You have such a vicious heart!"
How could you do this!
"Knowing that the Zhao family was in danger, you not only didn't warn them, but also chose to walk away. You really are an ingrate!"
At this moment, Zhao Chen was tutoring Shen Qingyue with her homework.
Upon hearing Zhao Ziyun's words, he frowned and slapped him across the face.
"You think you're so great? Who do you think you are, daring to question me like that?"
"If I had known the Zhao family would encounter these things, I would have made you suffer even more than you do now!"
"You think you'd even have a chance to stand in front of me and spout nonsense? Get lost!"
Zhao Chen kicked him away, and Zhao Ziyun rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
His once pristine white school uniform shirt was now stained with dirt, making him look utterly disheveled.
Zhao Ziyao couldn't stand it anymore, so she stood up abruptly:
"Zhao Chen, although we're officially no longer connected, do you really have to be so ruthless?"
