Chapter 1292 A duel across the ocean

……

For so many years, he has always been alone outside with all the pressure, and his parents have not given him much support because of work and opportunities.

Although my mother's relatives are also rich, they don't have much assets. In such huge deals, which often involve billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars, it is not very helpful.

Inevitably they are worried, and Liu Dong rarely tells them these troublesome things.

And the Liu family is different, the strong strength makes Liu Dong feel like he has something to rely on behind him for the first time.

"Also, your grandfather is worried about you, so let's call his old man when you have time!"

"I understand, uncle!"

"Well, let's talk about that for now. Remember to call me if you get stuck!"

"Hmm!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Dong looked at the phone and let out a long sigh.

The warmth of the family made Liu Dong feel quite gratified, but he had no intention of calling his grandfather. He didn't want to bring difficulties to his home. What he hopes more is to wait for him to defeat all the strong enemies, tell the old man the good news of the victory, and share it with everyone.

Frustration and sorrow, let him bear it alone!

Putting the phone in his pocket, Liu Dong also noticed Helen who had been standing next to him.

He put down the fishing rod and reached out to hold the beautiful woman into his arms.

"Honey, why don't I go home and ask my father for help?"

After smoothing Helen's frowning brows, Liu Dong touched her silky pretty face and said softly: "No, I have long expected the difficulties in front of me, and I have already prepared a solution to it." So, you don't have to worry too much either. ”

"Well, I believe you!"

He nodded vigorously. Helen shrank into Liu Dong's arms.

A mellow and intoxicating warmth is transmitted between each other.

……

Just when Liu Dong was wandering in the Mediterranean, disturbing the shipwreck, while remotely commanding his business empire.

This is accompanied by intensive and almost completely negative coverage by many of the world's most influential financial and business weeklies, such as the Financial Times of the United Kingdom and the Nihon Keizai Shimbun of Japan.

Standard Chartered's share price has just soared to $138 billion as a result of the acquisition of Abi National Bank, the world's ninth-largest bank, and Standard Chartered's share price has fallen like an avalanche.

In an instant, terms such as 'empire on the beach', 'Hong Kong Enron', and 'collapsed giants' began to be worn on Standard Chartered's head.

"Now I really want to see what the expression on Liu Dong's face is, I believe it must be very exciting!" put down the "Washington Post" in his hand. Clark Ford laughed gloatingly.

However, noticing his friend who was standing by the window, looking out of the window as if he hadn't heard his words, Clark Ford walked over with a puzzled expression.

"Steven, what are you looking at? So fascinated?"

"I'm looking at them!"

Steven Rockefeller, who looked calm, pointed to his feet.

And following the direction pointed by the other party, Clark Ford also noticed the crowd of people waiting on the opposite side of the street downstairs to withdraw money from the Standard Chartered Bank branch.

"What do they have to look at! This situation can only show that Liu Dong's standard Standard Chartered Bank is probably coming to an end this time!"

"To the end? maybe!" Steven shook his head slightly.

"What? Do you think Liu Dong can still turn the tables now?" Clark Ford said with a skeptical expression.

"Whether Liu Dong can turn the tables or not, I don't know for the time being. But I know from them that Standard Chartered is not as weak as it seems!" Steven pointed to the crowd queuing up to withdraw money at his feet.

"Why?"

"It's simple! Because in the last three days, although Standard Chartered Bank has been affected by a run. But there has never been a single case where cash payments have not been made. This means that Standard Chartered's financial situation is not too bad!"

Steven's words fell, and Clark was stunned for a moment, then looked at the orderly flow of people on the street, which was not very long, and his face showed a look of thought.

After glancing at his friend, Steven said indifferently: "Clark, when I called, although I didn't tell Liu Dong too much information. But your phone call revealed the most important information to him! With Liu Dong's shrewdness, how could he not prepare in advance? Look, this good show has just begun. ”

After a pause. Steven touched his chin and said with interest, "To be honest, I'm really curious. How is Liu Dong going to fight back?"

"Knock knock ......!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

As Steven finished speaking, an old man with gray hair and a crisp suit pushed the door open and walked in.

"Young master, I just got the news! The stock markets of Hong Kong, New York, and London suddenly have a large amount of money entering the market, and the stock of Standard Chartered Bank, which had fallen sharply before, has now stabilized!"

"What? How is this possible?"

At the time of Clark Ford's surprise. Steven Rockefeller had already walked to the table and turned on the computer, and when he called up the real-time market of the New York stock market from the website, he found that the sell number representing green on it had lagged behind the buy number next to it. And the trend line of standard Standard Chartered Bank has not gone straight down as it has been in the past three days, but has begun to stretch forward in a stable state.

"Liu Dong's counterattack is coming!" Steven said in a somewhat complicated tone as he watched the changes on the computer screen.

"Enter now. Does he have that much money in his hands?"

Clarke's temper, as short as he is, doesn't mean he's a fool.

After thinking for a while, Steven slowly shook his head, "I don't know, but I know Liu Dong." He is a guy who likes to plan and then act, and since he chooses to make a move now, he must be completely prepared. ”

"It seems that this Chinese is really difficult to deal with!" After a silent half-sound, Clark Ford, who nodded, said slowly.

"He's naturally not easy to deal with!"

Recalling the past few meetings with Liu Dong, Steven looked at the computer screen and said in a somewhat quiet tone.

"I just don't know how that guy will deal with that guy Rofitte, in order to prepare for today's events, he has used almost all of the connections of the Stillman family!" Clark said.

"In fact, last month, the biggest advantage of the Stillman family has disappeared! I don't think Liu Dong will really lose in a simple contest of strength!" Steven said.

"Yes, I didn't expect this guy to be really from the Liu family in China, and if I face him in the future, I'm afraid he will really have to be a little more equal!"

"What? don't want Daewoo Motors anymore?" Steven said indifferently after glancing at his friend.

"Hehe, of course, but it's too unlikely right now! And Daewoo Motors is not the only big car company in the world. After a pause, "After Liu Dong gets through this crisis, maybe we can sit down and have a good chat, and by the way, we can talk about acquiring Hyundai Motors, Peugeot Motors, or Renault Cars together!"

Looking at the smile on his friend's face, Steven was not surprised by his answer. Beneath Clark Ford's seemingly rough exterior lies a cunning, cautious, and judgmental heart.

……

Looking at the stable stock price of Standard Chartered Bank on the large LCD screen on the wall outside, Rofitte Stillman's face was almost gloomy and dripping.

In fact, Kenji Yasuda, who stood behind him on behalf of the Yasuda family, El Durant on behalf of GM Group, Gerard Manuel Fernández on behalf of Santander Bank of Spain, and a series of other allies did not look very good!

Especially when they are ready for success, but they don't expect to be slapped in the head by their opponents, this uncomfortable feeling is something that no one will like.

"Mr. Icahn, how many Standard Chartered shares do we have now?" said Rofitet Stillman.

"And 8.6%!"

"So little?" said Rofitte in a low tone.

"Do you need to sell it all?"

"Yes, throw them all out, and leave nothing behind!" said Rofitt Stillman after a moment's hesitation.

Now that you've decided to make an all-or-nothing bet, there's no need to keep it any longer.

"Okay!"

After nodding, Carl Icahn quickly worked on the computer.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit knocked on the door and walked in quickly. I saw him quietly inspect the situation in the house, walked quickly to Rofitte's side, and then handed over the mobile phone that had not been hung up with his left hand.

"Young Master, it's Mr. Martin Bouygues of France!"

After nodding, Rofitte took the phone and put it to her ear.

"Mr. Bouyge, how did you think to call me at this time, it should be evening in Paris now?" said Rofitte, suppressing the complicated emotions in her heart, with a hint of a smile.

"Rofitt Stillman, it's really night when I'm here. But I'd rather hear you explain why Standard Chartered's share price is stabilizing now, didn't you assure me that their money had been exhausted in the process of acquiring Daewoo and Abi Kookmin Bank? Why is this happening now?"

Martin Bouyg's unceremonious questioning made Rofitte's face instantly gloomy. However, he also knew that the important thing now was not to get angry, but to maintain the alliance in front of him so that it would not break up, otherwise the plan to deal with Liu Dong this time might really end in vain.
