Wu Zhixun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"The government investigates the river water every month. Once they find drug components in it, they will gradually investigate upwards. Don't touch things that you can't control, and it will drive your men crazy." Park Dehuan picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Wu Zhixun frowned and asked, "Make my men crazy?"

"Yes, if money comes too quickly, people will become impatient and anything unexpected will happen. For example, if you are investigated, they will not stop making drugs until they send you to hell. And if you stop them from making quick money, they will even kill you." Pu Dehuan lit a cigar.

Wu Zhixun swallowed his saliva and asked, "Really?"

"Making quick money is the beginning of an organization's collapse. Bribery, corruption, drugs, loan sharking, and gambling are actually in this range." Pu Dehuan exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "However, those who gamble and take money are all insiders and can be controlled by you."

Wu Zhixun nodded slightly.

Park Dehuan continued, "If you have nothing to do, go read the book The Godfather. If you read it carefully, you will find many useful truths."

"Yes, Mr. Park."

The phone rang, and Park Dehuan answered it and asked, "Mayor Li, is it resolved?"

"Of course, let your people take over. His company is doing well and has a lot of cash flow." Li Mingdao smiled and said, "The president in charge of the auction is willing to give us an extremely cheap price. I used a lot of connections to get this."

Park Dehuan smiled contemptuously and said, "Don't worry, the other party will soon owe us a big favor. Contact Samsung's fund. I want to short Hyundai's largest shipping company in Busan."

"Really?" Li Mingdao said excitedly, "If we can short it, we can get a lot of money, maybe 100 billion."

"At least 100 billion." Pu Dehuan said, "Pick a place, I'll be there soon."

"Just at my manor house, how about that?"

"Coming right up." Park Dehuan stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see what a mid-rise building in Korea looks like."

Wu Zhixun nodded excitedly and drove with Park Dehuan to Li Mingdao's manor villa.

As soon as Wu Zhixun got off the car, he saw the deputy mayor, whom he rarely saw, personally opening the door for Park Dehuan, bending down 90 degrees and making a gesture of invitation, saying, "Let's go, everyone is waiting."

After arriving at the villa, Li Mingdao personally opened the door for Park Dehuan. Li Rong and the president bent down to signal Park Dehuan, and Park Dehuan nodded in response.

He sat in front of the sofa. Li Mingdao picked up the cigar on the table and offered it to him with both hands. Then he lit it himself and said, "Can you really short it?"

Park Dehuan took out the materials from his briefcase and threw them on the table and said, "Let's take a look. Let a professional do it. He knows how to do it."

The president picked up the documents on the table and looked through them for a while. He smiled at the two people who were looking forward to it and said, "Indeed, on the way here, I have read the other party's financial report. These evidences can confirm that they have committed financial fraud."

Li Rong smiled and nodded, saying, "That's good, junior brother, what do you think we should do?"

Pu Dehuan smiled and said, "The smuggling case is a big case. If we find drugs on their ship, that would be even more interesting."

Li Rong smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll arrange this."

Park Dehuan nodded and said, "First, I will summon the president of this company, and then you will investigate their ship through the Shuihebang case."

Li Rong smiled grimly and said, "We will hold a press conference later. You should hold one too and tell the reporters under our control that this company has committed financial fraud."

The president smiled and said, "I will join other banks to investigate and produce evidence to require them to repay the overdue debts."

Park Dehuan looked at the president and asked, "Will you still allow debts to be overdue?"

"We usually call it debt forbearance. After all, the monk can run away but the temple cannot. We still have to give modern face." The president sneered, "But this is also a huge bomb for them."

Pu Dehuan nodded and said, "After that, the stock price plummeted and we made a lot of money by short selling."

Li Mingdao personally brought the wine and everyone had a glass. Wu Zhixun could only stand aside and watch. People like him would not cooperate with them to sit down and drink together.

Everyone raised their glasses and said, "Help us make a fortune."

Pu Dehuan drank the wine in his glass and said, "We have one day today to go short. How about we start the plan tomorrow morning?"

The president smiled and said, "I can introduce you to that securities company to buy stocks."

Park Dehuan nodded and said, "Thank you. I will let my overseas fund buy it."

The president nodded and said, "Sure. My bank can lend you 3 billion won to help you short sell. You can also mobilize the cash flow of the construction company."

Park Dehuan pointed at Wu Zhixun and said, "The company will be under his name."

After that, the president and Wu Zhixun started working. Park Dehuan called his father and gave his father's number to the president, asking him for help.

Once short-selling institutions have found their targets and are confident of their success, they will generally look for large funds and banks to short-sell together.

Chapter 29 Are you free tonight?

The Crocodile Fund borrowed a large number of stocks from securities companies and then sold them immediately, and promised the securities companies to pay high interest every month. The agreed time was one month, and after one month, they had to buy stocks on the market to return them.

Buy at a high price, then sell. Buy back at a low price, return to the securities company, and minus the interest, all is profit.

The risks are high, but the profits are also huge. If you can predict a crisis in advance, you can easily gain wealth worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

At least it is much simpler than Soros's shorting of the Thai baht and the British pound, and the operation is extremely simple as long as you have the principal.

A large number of Busan Shipping Company stocks were borrowed and sold on the spot. Park Dehuan obtained 200 billion won in cash in an instant, but he had to pay 100 million won in interest every day.

The bet was thirty days, and they were allowed to return the stocks within thirty days as compensation for the high interest.

It was already 11 o'clock in the afternoon when everything was done. Park Dehuan stood up and said, "Let's enjoy today's leisure. We will be busy tomorrow. Goodbye everyone."

Li Rong stood up and asked, "Would you like to have dinner together? I'll introduce you to some celebrities in the art world, and maybe you'll fall in love with a beautiful woman."

Park Dehuan smiled and said, "Okay, I don't have anything to do anyway."

The two drove to a banquet held in a large manor. Many celebrities from the art world were there, all of them were famous or wealthy.

Pu Dehuan had no artistic talent, so he followed Li Rong to the table, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Li Rong pointed at a few beauties and said, "Look, they are all new stars in the entertainment industry. They don't have any background now, so it's easy for them to get started."

"Your words have another meaning - to be ridden by thousands of people." Park Dehuan shrugged and said, "I have no interest in this kind of woman. Just imagine how many big cocks your mouth has eaten. Isn't it disgusting?"

Li Rong rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are such a talker. I feel sick."

"But this is reality." Park Dehuan shrugged helplessly and said, "They can eat it, but they can only eat mine. I know I am clean."

Li Rong pointed at him and said, "You have a mysophobia. Don't let women know. They will humiliate you and abuse you."

"Just to cover up the fact that you are a rotten crotch?" Park Dehuan smiled contemptuously and said, "I study hard to make money and play tricks, but I don't do it to let them say anything about me."

"Let's not talk about this topic. Then your target should be those in the art world. However, these people are difficult to deal with. They are of noble birth, well-educated, and not short of money. They will not be dealt with by your few words."

Pu Dehuan smiled contemptuously, yawned, lit a cigar and said, "It doesn't matter. They are not my target. When I stand on top of the world, countless beauties will line up to lick my cock."

Li Rong was amused. He pointed at Pu Dehuan and said, "It's just like what Lao Li said. You are just an arrogant, arrogant, and shameless bastard who only cares about his own success."

"Thank you for the compliment." Park Dehuan clinked his glass and drank it all, saying, "You and I both know that morality and shame are the biggest obstacles to our own progress."

Li Rong pointed at a short-haired beautiful woman and said, "Then I suggest you change your target. Western music is a new art form. They have a high status and are not as difficult to deal with as those old antiques."

"But I want my toys to learn ancient music. Elegant and beautiful girls are more charming." Park Dehuan picked up another glass of wine, but his eyes were on the beautiful woman with short hair.

She looked very young, with sharp willow-shaped eyes that were as sharp as the edges of her short hair. She had an elegant and slim figure and was wearing a long black dress.

She has a very good figure, a perfect S-shape, big breasts, and her legs are perfect even under the long skirt. She is wearing a pair of beautiful high heels, and her feet are small and beautiful.

She had an oval face, a chin that was sharp enough to poke someone to death, a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, and a high and slender nose. She was like a gladiator at the banquet, attracting the attention of most men.

Li Rong smiled and said, "She has a daughter who is in her third year of high school. She went to Paris two years ago to develop her career and is a world-class pianist. I don't know if she was betrayed by a man or for other reasons, but she rejected many suitors and doesn't like to get close to men. She is very clean."

"Another meaning is that it's very difficult to deal with. Senior really knows how to play tricks on people. He found such a difficult target for me right away." Park Dehuan lit a cigar and exhaled smoke.

Li Rong nodded and said, "I bet 10 million that you can't take her. Even though you're so handsome that you want me to beat you up, I don't think you can do it."

"One hundred million. After short selling, you will become rich anyway." Park Dehuan exhaled another puff of smoke.

"Almost $100,000, a bit much." Li Rong thought for a while and said, "I bet you can't succeed."

Park Dehuan nodded and smiled, "Okay."

He strode up to the man the beautiful wife was facing and said with a smile, "Hey, Principal, long time no see, why are you here?"

The old man turned to look at Park Dehuan, thought for a moment, and said, "Park Dehuan? I remember you, the genius boy. If I remember correctly, you are a prosecutor now, right?"

Park Dehuan took out his ID and handed it to him, smiling, "I have recently been working in the Ministry of National Security. I have to thank Seoul University for its training."

The principal excitedly took the certificate and opened it. It did have the Ministry of State Security logo. He looked at Park Dehuan excitedly and said, "I know you will become a powerful figure in South Korea. Do you have time to treat you to a meal?"

"I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy lately. I'll make an appointment with you later when I have time." Pu Dehuan took his ID, shook hands with the principal and said, "Come to me if you need anything later."

Park Dehuan believed that he could use the other party. After all, he was the president of Seoul University and had control over many educational resources. Such a person was worth winning over and making friends with.

The principal smiled and said, "In the future, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help. Leave me your phone number first."

When leaving the number, Park Dehuan glanced at the short-haired beauty next to him. Her eyes were very complicated, and more of it was unwillingness.

Park Dehuan knew very well that she took the initiative to approach the president of Seoul University for the sake of her daughter's further studies.

It is understood that in this world, the most important thing is not money, but resources. To give an analogy, power is like the cornerstone of a skyscraper, and money is a beautiful house. The cornerstone and resources can shake any house, but the house cannot shake the cornerstone.

After leaving his phone number, Principal Seoul smiled and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll go somewhere else first."

Pu Dehuan nodded and said, "Go ahead. I have nothing to do with you for now."

Before leaving, Principal Seoul showed a complicated look. He smelled danger and knew that this former student was showing the ability to cause harm.

The reason why wild beasts are scary is that they have terrifying fangs that are powerful enough to eat meat and drink blood, which is difficult for herbivores to do with their teeth.

Everyone around this brief confrontation knew who the real boss was.

The short-haired beauty tucks her hair behind her ears, and her micro-expressions mean that she cares very much about what other people think.

"Hello, Mr. Park, I am Jin Xi, a world-renowned pianist." She smiled and stretched out her right hand.

Pu Dehuan pretended to be in deep thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know much about music, and I've never heard of your name."

"How about I play a song for you tonight, maybe you'll like it."

Pu Dehuan said with a playful look in his eyes: "Tonight?" He looked up and down at the beauty in front of him.

Jin Xi didn't care about Park Dehuan's presumptuous look at all. She smiled and said, "Yes, I have a lot of time tonight. I can play many classical pieces for you. You will definitely fall in love with piano music."

Pu Dehuan smiled and said, "It's a crime to reject a beautiful woman. Tonight, I will make some time for you. After the cocktail party, wait for me at the door, okay?"

"Of course." Jin Xi smiled and nodded and asked, "Will you need a dance partner later? I can dance with you."

Park Dehuan shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I was always studying and I don't know how to dance."

"I can teach you, but can you allow me to put on some makeup first? The dance will start soon."

Park Dehuan smiled and nodded.

Chapter 30: Jin Xi's Gratitude

While Jin Xi was putting on makeup, Park Dehuan walked up to Li Rong and said, "Done, you owe me 100 million."

"Ah Xi, I pursued her, but she ignored me." Li Rong took out a box and handed it to her angrily, saying, "This is a gift from me to my wife, a sapphire necklace worth 110,000 US dollars. Can you record a video for me?"

Park Dehuan took the necklace and said, "No, she is mine now."

Li Rong nodded helplessly and asked, "How did you do it?"

"This is the charm of power. It stands there, without words or actions, and human society revolves around it." Park Dehuan raised his glass and said, "Enjoy power, the most delicious wine in the world."

"No wonder everyone is madly trying to climb up to the Supreme Prosecutor's Office. Are you also after power?"

Park Dehuan smiled and said, "I don't know how to answer you. Power is just one of the goals." He did not say his purpose.

He occasionally reveals his true purpose and ambition to some people, and seems to be willing to be controlled by others. He chooses to bow his head temporarily because these people can change his fate.

Li Rong smiled and said, "Okay, do you plan to keep controlling her?"

Park Dehuan nodded and said, "She has this value. She is good-looking, pretty, and has good social skills. Each of us is decorating ourselves, watches, lighters, suits, hairstyles, and people."

"people?"

"Look at the people around the president. They are all powerful and in charge of their own areas. But they can only follow behind the president. I can also control her." Park Dehuan raised his phone and said, "Her last large-scale performance was half a year ago. Paris is not suitable for her."

“It’s an art capital.”

Park Dehuan shook his head slightly and said, "No. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. This sentence only applies to projects that will not affect power and resources. Art can have an impact, but basketball and fighting cannot. Acting will not."

"Shit, you're saying something cool again." Li Rong patted his back and said, "Enjoy your beauty. You'll be so happy tonight."

Park Dehuan smiled and didn't say much.

On the other side, Wu Zhixun returned to the office and looked at the soju on the table. He didn't like red wine and liked to drink soju very much.

But on the way back, he checked what they had drunk and it was worth two hundred thousand dollars, more than two hundred million.
