Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

"This dinosaur looks so real, it gave me a fright."

He Meitian patted her chest, speaking with lingering fear; next to her sat Chai Xiaofen, whose expression wasn't much better, clearly also frightened by the Tyrannosaurus Rex's large head.

In front of them, Zhang San was watching the rough cut of "Dinosaur Park" with the director and producer.

After the movie ended, Zhang San felt a little unsatisfied, as if something was missing. He thought it would be even better if the dinosaur head could be rendered in naked-eye 3D, but alas, it was better than nothing.

"GOOD, fantastic! Mr. Spielberg, you've created another classic. Congratulations!" Zhang San congratulated the renowned director beside him with a smile.

Ordinary directors do not have editing rights; only a few top directors do, and they are the ceiling of Hollywood directors.

Since no one objected, the film entered post-production. As for the rest, Zhang San wasn't a professional, so he didn't get involved and left it to the professionals.

After returning from the MCA branch, Zhang San remembered what Boss Liu had said. It turned out that the guy was probably a little dissatisfied and had also discovered that Zhang San was the one who was shorting the stock.

But so what? He didn't contact me, and he didn't even acknowledge me.

Back at my lodgings, I saw some gossip news about Hong Kong in a magazine. One news item mentioned that a bigwig was shot and killed last November.

Zhang San shook his head, feeling that he really had no sense of security in Hong Kong. At the beginning of this year, he saw several news reports about Hong Kong police cracking down on organized crime, and he heard that a lot of things had happened.

The Hong Kong stock market has recently suffered a severe drop, and Zhang San felt something was amiss.

This year is the perfect time to crack down on such things, and the stock market is falling this year. What does that tell us?

Hong Kong is a free port, a transportation hub, and, importantly, one of the world's lowest-taxed places. Zhang San learned some old Hong Kong stories from the prodigy Hui.

Back in the 1960s and 70s, it was legal to establish companies and deal in weapons and equipment in Hong Kong. The origins of this equipment were related to the violent organizations with British influence.

Then there's flour, which is transported through Hong Kong; besides these, there's also smuggling, which is rampant.

Where did all that money go? It naturally went from illegal to legitimate, flowing into the stock market and the film industry through various means. Hong Kong cinema ceased its glory days by 1995, the reason being the absence of major investors. Without money to make movies, its former glory faded.

This all stems from the crackdown on these triads that began in 1994; and the reality depicted in Hong Kong triad movies is probably even more exaggerated than the films suggest.

"Ms. Rosamund Kwan, do you want to come back to Hong Kong? The risk here has been eliminated now." Zhang San called Rosamund Kwan, who was in Hollywood, to ask her if she wanted to return.

"It's better here than in Hong Kong, I don't want to go back; don't call or email me late at night anymore, OK!"

She won't go back to film "Once Upon a Time in China" anymore; she'll let them find someone else. Anyway, she's had enough. In February, her bonus came in, which was over six million Hong Kong dollars. That's enough for her to spend, so she doesn't want to go back to filming. Los Angeles is much better than Hong Kong.

"Whatever makes you happy."

Zhang San hung up the phone, not wanting to talk to her anymore; after hanging up, he felt that he was also in danger, as he had ruined some people's plans.

The Hang Seng Index is currently above 8000 points. In that case, let's ask the big shot, Liu.

"Hey boss, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner at the Peninsula Hotel."

The bigwig on the other end hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Okay!"

That evening, Zhang San arrived at the Peninsula Hotel first. As for why he didn't go to the Lihua Hotel, it was simply because the Peninsula Hotel had a bigger brand. Zhang San's men waited outside, and when Boss Liu arrived, Zhang San went to the lobby to greet him.

Back in the private room, Zhang San immediately poured wine for Boss Liu.

"Stephen, you suddenly invited me to dinner today, is there something you need from me?"

Zhang San chuckled awkwardly, "As expected, nothing escapes the big boss's eyes. With the stock market like this lately, does the big boss have any advice for me?"

"Hehe..." Boss Liu chuckled insincerely, then said, "I can't see it clearly either, but I feel you should buy at the bottom."

Upon hearing this, Zhang San immediately said, "Boss, here's a small token of my appreciation, please accept it." He took out a box from his pocket and pushed it in front of him.

Boss Liu was naturally knowledgeable; he had seen boxes like this many times before. He smiled and picked up the box. The red light emanating from it made him squint. If he didn't know he was in the Peninsula Hotel, he might have jumped up and run away. He was afraid that there was a hidden weapon inside, otherwise, why would that red light be so dazzling?

Inside lay a large red diamond necklace, bigger than any of the previous ones, and red in color, which naturally surprised him; immediately, the smile on his face widened even further.

"This is a consultation fee to thank you for your guidance. I'm glad you like it."

Zhang San just wanted one word from him, and he roughly knew the trend of the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong—it was a trend, not a specific direction. Since the big boss had spoken, he would do as Big Boss Liu said.

That evening, everyone enjoyed themselves. After seeing off Boss Liu, Zhang San stayed at the Peninsula Hotel that night.

The next morning, he booked a flight to Los Angeles...

When Boss Liu heard the news, he could only sigh: This guy, he ran really fast.

That same afternoon, New Era Financial announced that the group had been acquired by Midland Bank of England, shocking many people.

This series of moves has left many people puzzled. New Era Financial has been performing exceptionally well recently, with outstanding results. If it were to go public, many companies would be scrambling to acquire it. How come it changed hands without any prior warning?

That evening, Boss Liu was also startled. What was going on? Was he not planning to stay here? But the villa on the mountaintop... now only the servants remained; everyone else was gone.

"This guy must have been born in the Year of the Rabbit, haha..."

Zhang San sensed only a hint of malice and immediately turned tail and ran away. His speed was beyond what ordinary people could match. The people from New Era Financial Group were also completely bewildered, not knowing how things had suddenly changed.

Just when the entire financial group was somewhat at a loss, a group of foreigners immediately walked into the group's headquarters building and took over the entire New Era Financial Group.

"Keep everything as usual, don't panic, just leave everything as it is."

These people are all from Midland Bank. Last night, they chartered two planes from London and flew over to take over New Era Financial Group.
