Hong Kong Movie: Traveling through Hung Hing, you want me to do good deeds?

Two days later, Shen Dong, Li Xinxin, Qiu Ti, Li Jie, Tian Yangsheng, Xiahou Wu, Feng Yuxiu, Miao Dali and a group of 24 people arrived in New York.

Song Zihao had already led his team back to New York from Las Vegas.

In the car, Song Zihao took out a box and said, "Brother Dong, here are the guns and documents you wanted."

Shen Dong's eyes lit up, he picked up a gun, played with it for a while, and asked, "How did you get it?"

Song Zihao said, "The Lighthouse Country is a world of money. As long as you have money, everything is easy to do. I spent one million US dollars and got it through Mr. O'Neill, the vice president of Merrill Lynch."

Merrill Lynch is one of the most famous securities firms in the Beacon State.

The last time he came to New York, Song Zihao sought cooperation with them, but he used his own people as the traders.

Shen Dong was able to hide the fact that he made more than 16 billion US dollars from the stock market from others, but he could not hide it from Merrill Lynch.

They earned 1.6 million U.S. dollars in commissions alone, which solved the urgent need of Merrill Lynch Group due to its plummeting stock price.

Within Merrill Lynch Group, Shen Dong's rank has been raised to the highest level.

So, when Song Zihao approached Merrill Lynch last week and asked them to help him get a gun license, Merrill Lynch got it done in just three days.

Shen Dong smiled and said, "So, we are going to cooperate with Merrill Lynch this time?"

Song Zihao quickly said: "We haven't signed the contract yet, mainly because of the problem of handling fees."

Last time, Merrill Lynch's commission was as high as 15/1000, far exceeding that of other securities companies.

Although they provided Shen Dong with five times leverage, the price was still very expensive.

Song Zihao hopes to lower their handling fees."

Shen Dong asked: "How much did you talk to them about?"

Song Zihao said: "If they offer us a maximum leverage of 10 times, we will pay 0.8% of the handling fee. Their requirement is 12%."

Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "We can set a standard line. If we make less than 50 million US dollars, we will charge 12/1000. If we make more than 50 million US dollars, we will charge 8/1000. Of course, the lower the handling fee, the better."

Song Zihao nodded and said, "I know what to do. Brother Dong, Mr. O'Neill, the vice president of Merrill Lynch Group, wants to invite you to dinner. Do you want to meet him?"

Shen Dong said, "Let's meet. Merrill Lynch is in a mess in Lighthouse Country. We will have to deal with them in the future. By the way, what's the situation with the Morris family? Have they contacted you since you came to New York?"

Song Zihao said, "No. After Morris killed Axe, he quickly annexed Axe's territory. Several other mafia families were not idle either, and they also joined the ranks. In the end, Morris only took over 40% of Axe's territory, and also fought several battles with the Reid family. After both sides lost nearly a hundred people, they shook hands and made peace. However, Morris is now the largest mafia organization in New York."

Shen Dong laughed and said, "It seems that the social environment in New York is much stronger than that in Hong Kong Island. When we fight, we won't stop until 1,800 people die. But they can't stand it if 100 people die."

Chapter 374 Gold Futures

Song Zihao said: "The main reason is that the number of people in their society is too small. Even Morris only has 2,000 people, which is not as many as one branch of Hongxing."

Shen Dong said: "I came here just to make money. I hope Morris won't cause me trouble."

As for these gangster societies, Shen Dong really doesn't want to have anything to do with them anymore.

But the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.

Shen Dong had just finished checking in when he received a call from Morris.

"Mr. Shen, I heard that you came to New York. I would like to invite you to dinner. I wonder if you can honor me?"

"Mr. Morris invited me, so how could I not go? After all, we had such a pleasant cooperation last time. By the way, today I learned that you have become the strongest among the major families of the New York Mafia. Congratulations."

"I have to thank Mr. Shen. If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to kill Axe."

"You're welcome. We are mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. Mr. Morris, I heard that 11 Madison Park is the best restaurant in New York. I wonder if I am lucky enough to have this opportunity?"

The reason why Shen Dong took the initiative to suggest going to Madison Park 11 Restaurant for dinner was not because he was really greedy, but because he did not want to go to Morris's estate.

After all, that's their base camp.

If Morris had evil intentions, Shen Dong would be in big trouble.

Morris was a man who naturally understood Shen Dong's concerns and said with a smile, "Of course no problem. I will welcome you at 11 Madison Park Restaurant at o'clock tomorrow night."

Shen Dong said: "No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong frowned.

He couldn't figure out why Morris wanted to see him.

Could it be that this guy already knew that he was related to his son's death?

It should be impossible.

If he had known, Morris would have probably come to trouble him a long time ago.

At seven o'clock in the evening, after dinner, everyone went to the World Trade Center for a stroll.

Li Xinxin and Qiu Ti pulled Shen Dong into the Cartier jewelry store.

As for the Cartier jewelry brand, even Shen Dong, who knows little about jewelry, is well-known.

In this era, Cartier should be the most powerful jewelry company in the world, almost without exception.

In a few years, other jewelry brands will rise strongly and challenge Cartier's position.

When the Cartier waiter saw what Li Xinxin and Qiu Ti were wearing, he knew that important customers had come and immediately smiled brightly.

Li Xinxin pointed at a gold bracelet and said, "I remember the last time I came here, this bracelet was only 3.5 US dollars. How come it has risen to more than US dollars now?"

The waitress said respectfully, "Dear lady, the gold jewelry in our jewelry store is adjusted according to the international gold price. The current gold price has nearly doubled compared to before the stock market crash, so the price of gold jewelry will also increase by nearly double."

Li Xinxin said: "It seems that it is not cost-effective to buy it now."

The waitress said, "That's not the case. Because no one knows how high the international gold price will rise. This stock market crash has fully proved that gold is the most valuable asset."

Shen Dong next to him raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the current price of gold?"

The waitress said, "802 US dollars. It was 428 US dollars before. Some experts believe that the international gold price is likely to exceed US dollars this time."

Shen Dong nodded and said, "Thank you."

At this moment, Shen Dong couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

He had not thought about doing gold before, he just wanted to make some money through Kohl's Network stock.

However, since the market value of a single stock was too low, he did not dare to invest too much for fear of affecting it.

Therefore, Shen Dong only prepared 600 million US dollars this time.

But it's different now.

After the waiter told him that the price of gold had nearly doubled and might even exceed one thousand US dollars, Shen Dong suddenly thought of one thing, that is, the price of gold had never exceeded one thousand US dollars throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

He remembered that after the stock market crash, the global economic situation was bad and the price of gold soared to nearly nine hundred US dollars.

Just when everyone thought it could break through one thousand dollars, the price of gold plummeted, directly jumping to more than three hundred dollars, and then rose to around five hundred dollars, only then did it become strong.

As long as Shen Dong leaves enough reserves, he can use ten times leverage to short gold.

The volume of gold is too large, and billions or tens of billions of dollars will not have any impact on it.

Even if some international tycoons knew that they had invested money, they did not have so much money to manipulate the big market of gold futures.

After returning to the hotel, Shen Dong immediately called Haitang.

During this period, although Shen Dong and Haitang did not meet, they often talked on the phone.

If the Five Lakes Gang had not been founded by her father Hai'an, Haitang would have resigned from the position of leader and gone to Hong Kong Island to live with Shen Dong.

"Haitang, I need money, the more the better." Shen Dong said bluntly.

Haitang said, "I can raise 1.5 billion US dollars in one day. If I want more, I'm afraid it will take a week."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "1.5 billion US dollars is enough. If successful, this 1.5 billion US dollars will become 1.8 billion US dollars."

Haitang said calmly: "You know, I don't care about these."

Shen Dong said: "Haitang, don't forget, this money is not only yours, but also Haiyuan's. I can't let this child suffer."

Haitang said, "It's up to you. How do I give you the money?"

Shen Dong thought for a moment and said, "I will ask Merrill Lynch to transfer the money to my account through Citibank."

Haitang hummed and said, "No problem."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Dong shook his head and murmured, "Why do I feel like a gigolo?"

In fact, if Shen Dong mortgaged all his properties, he could also borrow a lot of money, but it was too troublesome and would waste a lot of time.

With futures, one minute can lead to a total loss, let alone a few days.

With Haitang's 1.5 billion US dollars and his own 600 million US dollars, Shen Dong can completely make a big splash in the gold futures market.

Li Xinxin said: "Husband, Haitang is so good to you. She gave you 1.5 billion US dollars right away."

Shen Dong asked: "If you also have 1.5 billion US dollars, will you give it to me?"

Li Xinxin said without hesitation: "Of course. You are my man after all."

Qiu Ti agreed, "I can do that, too."

Shen Dong touched their long hair and said with a touching look on his face: "My greatest achievement is not to establish the Tengfei Group, but to own you silly women."

Li Xinxin smiled and said, "I hope that in 20 years, when we have all turned into yellow-faced women, you will still be able to say that."

Shen Dong said seriously, "I know that many people will abandon their wives and marry young and beautiful girls after they become successful. In my eyes, these people are fools. Because they can't be sure whether these women are attracted by his money or by his personality. If it is the former, it is too sad. So, don't worry, whether it is twenty years or forty years, I will cherish you and love you well, and I will never let you suffer any grievances."

Li Xinxin and Qiu Ti were very moved when they heard Shen Dong's promise.

Soon, the three of them went into the bathroom.

Two hours passed before Shen Dong finally carried the two exhausted women to the bed.

Chapter 375 O'Neill's Shock

The next day, Shen Dong called Song Zihao over and said, "Ah Hao, the price of gold has continued to rise recently. Do you think it can break through one thousand dollars per ounce?"

Song Zihao pondered for a moment and said, "If there is nothing particularly major, with the support of various institutions, it is very likely to exceed one thousand US dollars in the near future."

Shen Dong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Does everyone think so?"

Song Zihao nodded and said, "Yes. Recently, those investment institutions on Wall Street are going crazy. They have made a lot of money from gold futures. The most powerful institution has even earned 5 billion US dollars. It's like robbing money. Brother Dong, are you also optimistic about gold?"

Shen Dong said: "On the contrary, I am very pessimistic about gold. The Beacon Country has severe inflation and a declining economy. The Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates. Once the interest rate is raised, the price of gold will inevitably fall sharply."

Song Zihao said: "Brother Dong, the risk of futures is much greater than that of the stock market, you must be cautious."

Shen Dong said confidently: "I bet that the price of gold will plummet before it reaches $1,000. Ah Hao, when the price of gold exceeds $900, I will use $2.1 billion to short it. What do you think?"

Song Zihao asked: "What about the investment plan we decided on before?"

Shen Dong said, "Proceed as usual. You only need to take out 300 million US dollars and use five times leverage to buy shares of Cole Technology. As for the 2.1 billion US dollars, you don't need to use up your funds. I have already raised all of them."

Song Zihao asked: "Brother Dong, how much leverage do you plan to use?"

Shen Dong said: "1.5 billion US dollars, 10 times leverage, and 600 million US dollars as a reserve. As long as the gold price does not rise to 950 US dollars, our funds are safe. If it rises to 950 US dollars, we can only use your funds. However, I believe this situation will not happen."

Song Zihao smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Dong, you are gambling."

Shen Dong said: "We won this money. If we lose, we can just start all over again. But if we win, we can make at least 10 billion US dollars. At that time, we will become the richest company in Hong Kong Island. Li Chaoren and Li Zhaoshan are all my brothers."

Song Zihao gave a thumbs up and said, "Brother Dong, you are this."

Song Zihao is full of admiration for Shen Dong, a boss who is more than ten years younger than him.

Whether in terms of being a person or in terms of ability, he can be described as impeccable.

If they succeed this time, they will be the best not only in Hong Kong Island, but also in the world.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Shen Dong and Song Zihao came to a cafe and met O'Neal.

O'Neal was very different from the future basketball superstar Shaquille O'Neal. He was not tall, only about 1.7 meters, about 50 years old, half of his hair was white, and his belly was as big as if he was holding a basketball.

"Mr. Shen, nice to meet you."

When he saw Shen Dong, O'Neal narrowed his eyes into slits, and while greeting him, he extended his hand enthusiastically to Shen Dong.

Shen Dong shook hands with him and said, "Mr. O'Neill, I have heard from Mr. Song. Thank you very much for the strong support you and Merrill Lynch Group have provided to us."

O'Neill smiled and said, "Providing the best service to our clients is the purpose of our Merrill Lynch Group."

After a few polite words, the three of them took their seats.
