This job with Zhilin Group.

After removing the leverage and paying back the billions borrowed from the Investment Bank.

All in all, he made 220 million out of thin air.

In reality, if the front had been extended further, leeching off Zhilin Group, he could have made even more.

But it wasn't worth it anymore; it would have even been a loss.

Making less is the same as losing money.

In Japan, he was operating on targets with market caps over a trillion yen.

Even with the large gains from shorting, at best, it would only break even with Japan.

There are two trading days left before the year ends.

In the 103 trading days for Gongrong Asia in Japan, the position size grew from 10.5 billion yen to 52 billion yen, with a return rate exceeding 395%.

That means the initial 100 million us dollars turned into nearly 500 million us dollars now.

The 220 million earned from Zhilin Group converts to 4 billion yen.

Adding both sides together, it's just enough to smooth out a 1.35% daily return rate for Gongrong Asia.

1.35% is the daily return rate of the four Japanese stocks that never stopped.

He didn't really make much extra money from Zhilin Group.

But Lin Qizheng must be feeling terrible.

Looking at the stock price of Zhilin Group, Chen Cheng still felt satisfied.

From beginning to end, this was an unequal war.

Lin Qizheng had his woman stolen, felt indignant for a moment, and wanted to disgust Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng is the type to hold a grudge, so in passing, Lin Qizheng became overwhelmed.

Today's move was equivalent to ruining Zhilin Group directly.

With the stock price falling like this, the shares pledged by the major shareholders will also be liquidated by the banks.

Short seller rotation.

If the Lin family can't raise funds to take over the shares, Zhilin Group can just wait to become a penny stock.

...

Back to one day ago.

At 5:30, taking advantage of the sunset, Chen Cheng landed in Hong Kong Island.

Han Su came to pick him up at the airport.

It was just knock-off time, so she snuck out early to come over.

She had been promoted to handle cases independently, so no one was keeping an eye on her.

Chen Cheng sat in the passenger seat of the ferrari 812, with Han Su driving.

Zou Yu, Eleven, Xing Lu, Ming Zhen, and four Bodyguards were in the two cars behind.

Chen Cheng unbuttoned his shirt and opened the window to let the breeze in.

The temperature in Hong Kong Island in December is much higher than in Shanghai.

The average daytime temperature is around 20°C, so a thin jacket is enough.

"Lawyer Han doesn't seem very happy?" Chen Cheng turned his head to look at Han Su, who was driving while wearing sunglasses.

Han Su forced a smile on her face and shook her head, "No~"

"Maybe it's just that the pressure has been a bit high lately."

Chen Cheng was taken aback; perhaps that was true. Through his connections, she had suddenly linked up with the Guo family, and cases were finding their way to her as if they had legs of their own.

He smiled, "Think about the year-end bonus coming up soon?"

"Pfft~"

Han Su giggled, turned to look at him, her eyes filled with charm, "That would make me even less happy."

"The bonus isn't even enough to pay for one month's rent."

Saying this, Han Su curled her lips, "But come to think of it, when you rented that place, were you really not scammed?"

"Pony Ma's top-tier property on Tai Long Wan Road is 110, yet yours actually costs 280???"

Chen Cheng's mouth twitched. This was Zou Yu's fault for not understanding the market well, letting the developer play them.

That 280 was just a gimmick used by the developer to sell houses.

He knew at the time that housing prices in Hong Kong Island were expensive, but he had no concept of the specific rental rates.

He was in a rush to settle it, so he just ended up being a sucker.

But, forget it, forget it.

Since Baby Zou Yu already opened the back door for him, how could he punish her?

As for that developer...

Chen 'An Eye for an Eye' Cheng had already made a note of it.

Chen Cheng acted very indifferent and smiled, "Won't be living there for long anyway."

Being treated as a sucker in this matter was a loss of face.

In Chen Cheng's credo, being low-key is fine, but being mocked as a sucker is unacceptable.

Han Su didn't understand what he meant, "What do you mean?"

Chen Cheng smiled, "Buy a house, of course."

Han Su was stunned, "Is that necessary?"

"We can just rent somewhere else."

"Houses in Hong Kong Island are so expensive, and you don't come over often. There's really no need."

Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head, "Last time at the banquet, I was recognized by someone from the Guo family."

"That counts as making an appearance in the Hong Kong circle."

"And being treated as a sucker again counts as losing face in this circle."

"If I weren't hanging around here, it would be fine."

"In monetary economics, there is the Mundell Impossible Trinity, which means independent monetary policy, fixed exchange rates, and free capital flow—you can't have all three."

"In terms of policy, America gave up the fixed exchange rate; we gave up free capital flow;"

"Now my main assets are overseas, but I am still a son of China."

"Hong Kong Island, with its free capital flow and stable exchange rate, has become an unavoidable middle island for me."

"Since I have to establish myself here, the face I lost must naturally be earned back."

Han Su was stunned; she hadn't expected the matter of buying a house to involve business.

"Alright," a trace of embarrassment flashed on Han Su's face, "I didn't think about that."

Chen Cheng smiled, "You wouldn't know these things."

"Drive carefully."

Han Su nodded, her expression calm but with waves of excitement in her heart. So, was this a declaration like 'The Master Has Arrived'?

Han Su suddenly felt that the cases she had been struggling with lately didn't seem like such a big deal anymore.

The two did not return directly to Jardines Lookout, but went to Kowloon to eat.

The four women, Zou Yu, Eleven, Xing Lu, and Ming Zhen, returned to Jardines Lookout and stayed on the 21st floor.

Xing Lu and Ming Zhen were actually doing the work of personal assistants.

Zou Yu and Eleven were also very clear in their hearts that when Chen Cheng's other women were around, they had to be invisible.

They did it very well; like yesterday, Zou Yu didn't come back to fight for him with the other nine women.

Because after being on a business trip for so long, she would always have a chance to get her fill.

Chen Cheng and Han Su had hot pot at an old-established hot pot restaurant in Kowloon.

However, it should be called 'da bin lou'.

The restaurant's decor was very retro, with the flavor of Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s.

The ceiling and walls of the restaurant were hung with colorful, various kinds of signs and neon lights.

This style of decoration is actually a symbol of the peak of Hong Kong's economy.

In Chen Cheng's eyes, this decoration style was just a bit incongruous.

Being used for decades, it was just a footnote to the fact that Hong Kong people were still living in the dreams of yesterday's glory.

Chen Cheng studied history.

He knew best that when a city begins to be nostalgic, that city has lost its edge.

A typical example is the 'slow-paced' Europe that many people envy.

That's not just one city; the entire continent is losing its edge.

Han Su held her soda, raising it towards Chen Cheng, who was stuffing beef into his mouth. Her eyes were full of smiles; she was very happy that Chen Cheng had come.

It was as if her emptiness had been filled, and the way she looked at Chen Cheng was almost melting, "Let's have a drink."

Chen Cheng looked up at her, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly, and he raised his soda, "Drink some more after we finish eating?"
