Chapter 0150: I Really Didn't Want to Pretend
I saw that on the final total amount column of this certificate, the words "total amount" of 10.354 billion US dollars were prominently displayed!
"You...... You've got $10 billion ready?"
Waleed looked at Lu Qing in shock.
Mansur on the side also took the certificate in surprise and looked at it, and then said apologetically to Lu Qing, "I'm sorry, Chen, forgive me for taking the liberty of verifying it?"
"Of course."
Lu Qing smiled and nodded, after all, this is a big order about tens of billions of dollars, and this kind of caution is the proper meaning of the question.
Mansour nodded, then quickly left the conference room and made a phone call to confirm.
Lu Qing sat in his seat and waited for a long time.
Waleed looked at Lu Qing like an alien: "Chen, forgive me, I have been underestimating you before, and you can prepare 10 billion US dollars."
"$12 billion, to be exact."
Lu Qing said with a smile: "There are still 2 billion I bought in Italian lira and other currencies, and ......."
Although this operation is said to be a short of the pound, in fact, the crisis first started in the Italian lira, and Lu Qing naturally will not let it go.
Moreover, except for the Italian lira, the rest that can be shorted, or can be hedged in reverse, such as the stock indexes of various countries, etc., he has prepared in advance.
Listening to Lu Qing's plan, Waleed kept nodding his head, and he could feel that Lu Qing was serious about this operation-
He really wants to beat the Bank of England!
"However, Chen, with all due respect, even if our operation succeeds in the end, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."
At this time, Walid's fear of Britain gradually calmed down, and the fear of Britain came to his mind, and the belt of this period was still somewhat deterrent.
"Rest assured, Prince, this is not the only one of us."
Lu Qing smiled: "I actually found out about Wall Street's movements, so I was ready to drink soup behind them......
He brought out the same rhetoric against Chen Yangzhe again.
"Wall Street is ready to do something to Britain too?"
Upon hearing the news, Waleed was immediately excited.
He was a little scared to let him face the anger with him, but if there was the United States in front of him, it wouldn't matter.
Then
Mansour also hurried back from outside and said, "Your Royal Highness, I have verified that these accounts are indeed all genuine!"
Hearing this, Waleed breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Chen, I followed your action of shorting the pound this time!"
He thought for a moment and said, "But I can't get $3 billion out now, so you have to give me a few days to prepare."
"Of course!"
Seeing Waleed agree, Lu Qing also laughed.
With the addition of this $3 billion, his profits from shorting the pound this time can increase again
"Okay, in that case, Mansour, you go and prepare the contract, and Chen and I will celebrate together!"
Waleed took Lu Qing outside, thinking that he would soon be able to defeat the Bank of England, he couldn't hide his excitement and shouted at Salman and the others: "I said Salman, have you rested enough, hurry up and come back to the game!"
"Waleed, even if you are in a hurry to send us money, you have to let us rest."
Salman joked, "Otherwise, we will feel uneasy with this money." ….
Everyone on the side laughed.
"Fuck off, I'm happy today, and I don't have the same knowledge as you."
Waleed smiled and waved his hand, pointing at Lu Qing and said, "This is my friend, Chen, he will play with all of us later, but his bet is on me......
He was worried that Lu Qing would not be willing to participate in this kind of competition with huge stakes, so he said so.
Hearing this, before he could finish speaking, Lu Qing spoke: "No, no, Prince Waleed, you can compare yourself, I don't want to participate in the bet."
As soon as he said this, he said
Waleed looked at Lu Qing in surprise: "Chen, do you speak Arabic?"
It turned out that what he said just now was in Arabic, and I thought Lu Qing couldn't understand it.
Salman and the others also looked at Lu Qing with some curiosity, after all, Arabic is not a big language, and there are not many people who know it, especially looking at Lu Qing's face, they also know that they are not too old.
However, it is just curiosity.
"No, Chen, I'm still going to make the bet, if you consider me a friend."
Waleed looked at Lu Qing's eyes and said seriously.
Although this shorting of the pound is uncertain whether he will win or lose, his personality is full of risk-taking factors, and as long as he can participate in such a once-in-a-century event, he is already crazy with joy, and he doesn't care about anything else.
"This ......"
Lu Qing was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "I didn't mean that, but ......."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Waleed: "Since you treat me as a friend, then listen to me, bet, I'll make it!" No matter how much, I admit it!"
Lu Qing was still a little hesitant-
He is worried that he will lose money, because he thinks that winning money is too bullying!
With his body strengthened by super serum, competing with amateur sought-after players such as Waleed is purely robbing the rich and helping the poor.
Side
Salman and the others were a little impatient, and said directly: "Okay, since Waleed is willing to pay, then this matter is settled, let's go to the game!"
After speaking, without waiting for Lu Qing's reaction, they each entered the shooting room.
In their opinion, winning or losing is just a few million dollars, where is the need for such a mother-in-law.
"Let's go, Chen, I'm in for a treat today!"
Waleed smiled and patted Lu Qing on the shoulder, and also entered the shooting room.
Seeing this, Lu Qing knew that he couldn't refuse, so he had to shake his head and enter the shooting room.
……
Soon.
Then everyone was ready, loaded with bullets, and began to shoot.
Lu Qing took the M9 pistol in his hand, did not shoot immediately, but felt the feeling first, and then aimed at the target in front of him and tried to shoot a shot.
Bang!
Soon, the score of this shot appeared on the monitor next to it - 8 rings.
Then, Lu Qing fired a second shot.
Bang!
9 rings.
After having the feeling of these two shots, Lu Qing's muscles immediately remembered the characteristics of the M9, and the next eight shots shot out continuously without any hesitation.
Bang! Bang! Bang......
10 rings!
10 rings!
10 rings!
When the last ten shots were finished, Lu Qing scored a total of 97 points.
"It's okay, not bad."
Lu Qing nodded and came out of the shooting room. ….
Then, he found that he was the fastest to come out, and the rest of the people were still slowly shooting.
In fact, this is normal, because the average person can rarely stand the recoil of ten shots fired in a row.
Lu Qing randomly found a seat and sat down, waiting for Waleed and the others to come out.
didn't let him wait longer, and soon, someone came out of the shooting room, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw Lu Qing who was already sitting and waiting outside, especially when he saw Lu Qing's results, his eyes widened.
"97 rings?"
He looked at Lu Qing's results, and then looked at his own - 67 rings.
In other words, he wants to lose $300,000 to Lu Qing?
Looking at Lu Qing's calm expression, he suddenly understood why Lu Qing was reluctant to participate in their bet just now.
At this time, a third person also came out of the shooting room.
When he saw the 67 rings of the first person, he couldn't help but laugh: "Bandar, my results this time are better than yours."
His result is 70 rings.
After speaking, he looked at Lu Qing's score again.
97?
He blinked, looked at Lu Qing, and then at Bandar, and fell silent.
afterwards
4th, 5th, 6th......
As everyone slowly came out of the shooting room, they all fell silent after seeing Lu Qing's 97 points.
At last
Prince Waleed, who had the worst marksmanship, also came out of the shooting chamber.
After seeing the silent crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned, seeing Lu Qing's apologetic look on his face, he also thought that Lu Qing had lost too much, and the others were embarrassed to celebrate, so he opened his mouth to comfort him: "It's okay, Chen, no matter how much you lose, even if your score is only 3 points, I will treat you!"
After speaking, he saw that his friends were all stunned and looked at him angrily, and the apology on Lu Qing's face was even heavier, and he finally realized that something was wrong.
Suddenly turned his head, and saw Lu Qing's 97 points, which ranked first.
Waleed's mouth slowly opened as he finally understood what was going on.
And the next moment,
The sound of his laughter resounded throughout the shooting range.
"Hahahaha!"
"Salman!"
"Bandar!"
"So that you laughed at me just now, and take the money!"
"Give me all the money! No one is allowed to run!"
A moment later, Salman's voice sounded faintly:
"Waleed, it seems, you lose the most."
「……」
……
Of course
Despite losing this game, Waleed and other crown princes still didn't care.
After all, it's only a few hundred thousand dollars, sprinkled with water.
Until the second, third, fourth......
After Lu Qing came out with a score of 100 points in five consecutive games, Waleed and the others finally realized that competing with Lu Qing is not called a game, it is called giving money!
So, Lu Qing returned to his seat with the check of more than 10 million US dollars he had just won, and watched Waleed and the others peck at each other.
"Young Master Daojun,"
Looking at the stack of checks in Lu Qing's hand, Li Hengcai said, "I think you should be stationed in Saudi Arabia, and you don't have to do anything else, just find a way to let Prince Waleed and them test their marksmanship with you."
Isn't it safer to make a profit of $10 million in half an hour than to short the pound?
Lu Qing ignored Li Hengcai, who was gradually lost in the wealth of the big dog in the Middle East, and continued to use the system bug to deduce the short-selling action in his mind.
Although the system's anti-natural bugs can make him invincible, as Waleed said, he still needs to do as much as possible to hide from being discovered.
……
Time passes,
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
It was September 1, 1992.
Lu Qing came to London on Prince Waleed's private jet.
And after coming to London, Lu Qing finally realized how wide Waleed's range of friends was-
For five consecutive days, Lu Qing accompanied Walid and various second generations, or royal nobles to hold banquets every day.
According to Waleed, this is called expanding his network.
However, Lu Qing always felt that this guy was actually enjoying the praise of others.
There is no way, people all over the world know that the big dog in the Middle East lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of money, and everyone wants to have a good relationship with him.
On this day,
Lu Qing was really tired of this kind of false and polite banquet, so he proposed not to go.
However, after getting along with Lu Qing for a long time, Waleed also discovered Lu Qing's true hobbies, so he said slowly and unhurriedly:
"That's a pity, I heard that there will be many celebrities attending this banquet, what Sophie Marceau......
As soon as he said Sophie Marceau's name, he saw that Lu Qing had already sorted out his clothes and came to the door, and urged unhappily:
"Oh, me
Dear Prince Waleed, if you move a little slower and delay this feast, I swear I'll kick your fat ass hard with my spiky leather shoes!"
