Chapter 228 An unexpected surprise
Chen Fan frowned slightly. What did Liu Jianxiong mean?
Set up a bureau, bow your heads, and things will be over, then everyone can work together to make money in harmony. If you disagree, then join forces with others to encircle and suppress them.

This is a bow, but it is also a threat!

What I mean is, if you want face, I can give it to you, and I can also give you a step, but you have to follow the steps and not be ungrateful.

"Sister Ying, have you ever heard this saying? You can choose when to start a war, but I have the final say on when to stop the war."

"Why bother?" Li Hongying smiled bitterly.

"That's just my temper. If I can't even get angry, what's the point of making money? If they want to play a game of encirclement and suppression, then let them come."

Chen Fan made up his mind that every time he punched, he must hurt the person. If he gave in this time, such a thing might happen again in the future.

Many things in business are like this. Sometimes it is just like playing politics, with mutual compromise and concessions, and ultimately peace and harmony bring wealth.

But Chen Fan didn't think so. This was the first punch he threw. It was not just about making the opponent bow his head and give in. He had to hurt the opponent to establish his authority.

After returning to Li Hongying's home, Chen Fan called Zhou Wenya and asked her to come back the next day, and let the other team members follow him for the mainland project.

There has to be big action in Hong Kong!

Zeng Ali shook his head and walked over to massage his shoulders: "You have a temper like firecrackers. You get angry easily. You are already 22 years old. You should control yourself a little."

When he was eighteen, when someone offended Xu Jinqiu, he dared to curse that person in the newspaper. He would not stop until the deputy factory director came to the person's home in person to apologize.

My temper has not changed over the years.

Zeng Ali likes this very much. There is a key word behind her exploding at the slightest provocation: protecting one’s shortcomings!
But times have changed!

In the past, Chen Fan was a writer who made money and spoke with his pen. Now he is a businessman. Standing in this circle, the long-term way is to blend in with the world.

This is indeed the case, but Chen Fan wanted more. The teacher once said, "One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches." The shopping mall is a battlefield, and the same principle applies.

After you throw the first punch, you have to see the effect. Only after you have truly established your authority can you become one with the world. Otherwise, this kind of thing will happen again in the future.

Regarding this matter, Chen Fan had a plan as early as when he targeted Liu Jianxiong, but he did not expect Liu Jianxiong to do this. It seemed that he was going to surrender, but in fact he was joining forces to threaten him.

“After I restrain myself, am I still myself?”

Chen Fan held Zeng Ali's hand, and Zeng Ali burst out laughing. What he said was true. This person was just like that, and that was the way he liked him. Why should he change him?

Let him do it!
Just be happy, the worst that can happen is you lose some money.

Chen Fan himself said that a man makes money to make himself happy. If he has to sacrifice happiness in order to make money, what is the point of making money?
As a man who has died once, Chen Fan will not put the cart before the horse and pursue wealth obsessively.

Zeng Ali hugged Chen Fan from behind and kissed him on the face: "Then I wish you a successful start and make all the other opponents angry to death."

"Just get used to him!"

Zhao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes. Xu Jinqiu spoiled him, and her elder sister spoiled him even more. If this continued, this man would become lawless sooner or later.

Zeng Ali kissed him again and raised her eyebrows at Zhao Yuanyuan: "He's my man, I'm willing to spoil him."

Zhao Yuanyuan was so angry that she gritted her teeth and her feelings faded!

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, and said to Zhao Yuanyuan: "My dear wife, I will take you with me this time, let you hold up the sign, and experience the feeling of killing everyone again."

Zhao Yuanyuan's eyes lit up and she nodded.

Zeng Ali couldn't help laughing and teased, "You're still talking about others, but don't you need to be spoiled too? You need your whole family to spoil you together."

Zhao Yuanyuan smiled proudly, she was lucky, there was nothing she could do!
Zeng Ali couldn't stand her behavior, so she whispered in Chen Fan's ear, "Do you want to sleep with me? I'll play with you tonight, but you have to make her subdue you."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up. Is there such a good thing?

It’s so easy to deal with Zhao Yuanyuan!
Without hesitation, Chen Fan rushed forward, making Zhao Yuanyuan so angry that she yelled, "Zeng Ali, you sold your sister for fame, now you are as bad as Qiu'er..."

"Chen Fan, stop making trouble. Just kick my elder sister out and I'll do whatever you want..."

Unfortunately, everything is in vain!

A night of fooling around did not prevent Chen Fan from doing his business. The next day, he went to two banks and demanded the delivery of all the futures contracts he had.

The futures contracts Chen Fan held were divided into two periods. In the first period, when the gold price was US$500 per ounce, he bought US$1 million each from HSBC and Bank of East Asia, and shorted gold with a leverage of 10%.

The second phase was to use futures to borrow 4 million US dollars. After making a profit from the exchange rate, he invested 1.5 million US dollars in two banks and bought at 415 US dollars per ounce, also shorting gold with a leverage of 10. Now the price of gold has fallen to 375 US dollars per ounce.

The first phase of investment made a profit of 5 million US dollars, plus the principal, it was a total of 7 million US dollars.

The second phase of investment made a profit of US$2.89 million, plus the principal, totaling US$5.89 million.

A total of 12.89 billion US dollars.

However, Chen Fan took out two loans from the bank. The first loan was US$4 million, which was used to speculate on exchange rates at the time, and the second loan was used for futures investment.

The second US$1 million is now lying in the account of Xinghuo Real Estate Company and has not been touched.

After paying back the bank's US$5 million, plus interest and handling fees, plus the personal deposits in Chen Fan's account, there is currently a total of just over US$8 million left.

Xinghuo Investment Company was also selling, and even Zhao Yuanyuan and Zeng Ali were selling as well. They had used the money they had earned in the foreign exchange market to buy futures.

When the sell-off was almost completed, Chen Fan deliberately leaked the news to the media, and that evening, the financial programs of several Hong Kong TV stations broadcast the news.

Mainly highlight two pieces of information!

The first is that Chen Fan is not optimistic about the short position in gold futures, and the gold price will stop falling.

Is the news credible?
Chen Fan is not an unknown person. After he encountered robbers last time, all his investment information was exposed. In just three years, he earned tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars through futures.

That is the wolf of futures!
Now that Chen Fan has sold off his short positions on a large scale, the price of gold has immediately started to rebound. The financial market is extremely sensitive and has immediately started to follow suit with selling and longs entering the market.

Another piece of news is that Chen Fan has not purchased any more futures. His eyes are on the property market. After the futures are settled, he will enter the property market with a large amount of cash.

Hong Kong media of all sizes rushed to report this news, and the money was paid by various real estate companies, and everyone was looking forward to the property market recovering.

It was not until this time that Zeng Ali realized that Chen Fan had unknowingly gained huge influence in Hong Kong.

A single sell-off caused such a big commotion.

In just a few days, the real estate market has been releasing various good news, as if the real estate market is really about to take off. As for the price of gold, it has actually risen against the trend.

It has risen to US$380 per ounce.

Although it only increased by 5 US dollars, it is still an increase, right? Who can guarantee that it will not rise to 80-7 US dollars again like in 800?

"Would it be too unethical for us to do this?"

In addition to being busy, Zeng Ali also keeps an eye on TV and newspapers. All media outlets, big and small, are advocating that the price of gold will rise sharply. Even gold shops are following suit in advertising that buying gold is the best investment.

In fact?

Chen Fan took out 2.5 million US dollars each from HSBC and Bank of East Asia and shorted gold again, also adding 10 times leverage. There happened to be a large number of short orders in the market.

The same went for Xinghuo Investment Company, which snapped up short orders in large numbers and invested all the money that Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan earned from futures.

"The financial market is like this. It doesn't produce value itself. Everyone takes out their money and either you cut my profit or I cut yours."

Chen Fan delivered futures in order to raise funds.

Xinghuo Real Estate already had 1 million US dollars lying around, and now had an additional 3 million US dollars, making a total of 4 million US dollars, which was enough to do something big.

If there is any unexpected surprise, it is that the price of gold has increased by US$5. Such an increase is destined to be temporary. If the Federal Reserve does not cut interest rates, the price of gold will not rise.

After buying enough short positions, Chen Fan appeared again and openly accepted interviews from reporters, saying that he was optimistic about the short positions.

This delivery futures is just to magnify funds!

After the interview, once the news was reported, the rising trend of gold prices came to an abrupt halt. Many people hated Chen Fan so much that some even threatened to kill him.

Chen Fan had to be on guard against such gamblers who were desperate to lose money. Not only did he stay at home, but he also brought a group of bodyguards with him whenever he went out.

Time passed quickly, and the land auction day arrived in a blink of an eye.

When Chen Fan came over, Ma Xifeng, general manager of Xinghuo Real Estate, was already waiting at the door: "Mr. Chen, the situation is not very good this time. Several companies came to threaten us just now."
