Trading Department, Kyushu West Lake Financial Company.

The entire floor erupted in jubilation, champagne sprayed everywhere, and traders raised their glasses to celebrate this epic short-selling victory.

"President Su, we've made at least two billion US dollars in profit this time!" the trading director excitedly reported. "The West Lake project has made us famous overnight, and now Wall Street is asking about our trading methods!"

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the cityscape of Hangzhou, Suning smiled slightly: "What's the reaction from the Nanshan Chamber of Commerce?"

"They were completely dumbfounded!" the director laughed. "They originally thought we would lose money on crude oil futures, but we reaped the benefits instead, and they ended up losing everything!"

Su Ning gently swirled his wine glass, his eyes deep: "This is just the beginning! I will make them pay for their arrogance."

"Also, Jack Ma from Alibaba wants to meet with you."

"Okay! Let's schedule a time and choose a good restaurant."

"Understood! President Su, I'll arrange it right away."

……

Li's Group, General Manager's Office.

Factory manager Liu Zhiming stormed in, furious: "President Wei! We followed your lead in shorting the market, and we've lost everything! You owe us an explanation!"

Wei Jinghai sat in the leather seat, his face gloomy.

Before he could even speak, Master Jiao coldly said, "Director Liu, there are gains and losses in business. Don't you even understand this basic rule?"

Liu Zhiming felt a chill run down his spine under Jiao Ye's sinister gaze, but he still forced himself to say, "That...that's all the working capital of our factory!"

Wei Jinghai finally spoke, his voice icy: "Director Liu, the market is risky, and investment requires caution. If you cause any more trouble, I don't mind having Master Jiao personally escort you out."

"..." Liu Zhiming's face turned pale, and he finally gritted his teeth and left.

After he left, Wei Jinghai swept the documents off the table: "Damn it!"

Jiaoye said in a low voice, "President Wei, the only way now is to take over the Calponia mining area, otherwise we won't even have the capital to turn the tide."

Wei Jinghai's eyes turned cold: "What's the situation with Li Zhijin?"

Jiaoye revealed a sly smile: "You also suffered heavy losses! But as long as you marry her, everything in the Li family will be yours."

"..."

Wei Jinghai naturally thought so. Having stayed in the Li Group for too long, he naturally mistakenly assumed that everything in the Li family belonged to him.

The Li family villa, study.

"Grandpa! What gives you the right to make decisions for me?" Li Zhijin, who had lost everything this time, angrily questioned Li Minxian. "I've said I don't want to join the Nanshan Chamber of Commerce! And I don't want to come back to inherit the Li Group."

Li Minxian's face darkened unusually: "Zhijin, Jufeng Capital has suffered heavy losses this time. You must come back and take over the family business!"

"I only suffered a temporary setback! Who could have imagined that Suning's judgment would be so accurate?"

"Are you still not convinced?"

"Yes! Besides, why should I take over the Li Group?"

"Just because your surname is Li!" Li Minxian slammed his fist on the table. "The Li family cannot be ruined in your hands!"

Li Zhijin's eyes reddened, and she turned and slammed the door shut as she left.

She stood outside the villa, clenching her fists, her heart surging with hatred: "Su Ning...it's all because of you!"

……

The Nanshan Chamber of Commerce headquarters, on the eve of the president election.

Wei Jinghai meticulously prepared a banquet in an attempt to win over the members of the Chamber of Commerce to support him.

However, Fan Longquan's appearance completely thwarted his plans.

"President Fan, I hope you will give me your support in this election for president," Wei Jinghai said with a smile, raising his glass.

Fan Longquan merely glanced at him coldly, without even touching his wine glass: "President Wei, the Chamber of Commerce isn't something you can secure by pulling strings."

Wei Jinghai's face stiffened as he watched Fan Longquan turn and leave, while the surrounding chamber of commerce members also avoided his gaze.

Suddenly, I realized that he had been completely sidelined.

……

The presidential suite at a top-tier hotel in Hangzhou.

Pei Luoshen, dressed in a black silk nightgown, leaned lazily against Su Ning's chest, her fingertips lightly tracing his chest: "President Su, you made two billion this time, shouldn't you thank me properly?"

Su Ning raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What kind of reward does Miss Pei want?"

Pei Luoshen's red lips curved slightly as she leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I want you..."

Her methods were indeed superb; even Su Ning had to admit that this woman knew how to make men fall for her.

However, just as the two were getting intimate, Su Ning's phone suddenly lit up; it was Cai Yanzhi calling.

Pei Luoshen glanced at it and chuckled, "Looks like someone's jealous."

"Never mind her! Let's get down to business first."

"You don't mind that I'm a vixen now?"

"Actually, it would be quite nice to have your own fox spirit."

"What a charming young man! It seems I'm doomed to be in your hands for life."

"No regrets?"

"Ah."

It took Suning an hour or two to finally subdue this devil.

After Pei Luoshen fell asleep contentedly, Su Ning got dressed to prepare for the next date.

……

A private tea room by West Lake.

Cai Yanzhi quietly gazed at the lake view outside the window until Su Ning pushed open the door and entered.

"Mr. Cai, is there something you need this time?"

Cai Yanzhi turned around, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Su Ning, are you with that vixen Pei Luoshen?"

Suning did not deny it: "It's just a business collaboration."

"Is that so?" Cai Yanzhi sneered. "You really think I can't smell her scent on you?"

"Ahem!" Su Ning suddenly approached her awkwardly and said in a low voice, "President Cai's sudden concern for me makes me feel a little flattered!"

Cai Yanzhi was silent for a moment, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his tie, pulling him closer: "Su Ning, do you think that every woman should throw herself at you?"

Su Ning smiled slightly: "I'm only interested in outstanding women."

Cai Yanzhi stared into his eyes, and finally, she let go of his hand and sighed softly, "I lost."

She stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to kiss him.

She ultimately succumbed to Su Ning's clutches.

Fortunately, Suning's physical strength is strong enough, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have been able to play the second game.

However, seeing the woman who had completely surrendered to him, Su Ning still felt an indescribable sense of pride.

This feels like what a real man should do. Only children make choices; adults want it all.

……

Outside a high-end restaurant in Hangzhou.

Li Zhijin and a group of people aggressively blocked Su Ning's way after she finished her meal.

Seeing the furious Li family's eldest daughter standing to the side, Ma Yun, remembering the recent fierce clashes in the financial world, naturally understood and took the initiative to say goodbye.

"President Su, it seems you have important matters to attend to, so I'll head back now."

"Okay! Mr. Ma, let's make an appointment again when we have time."

"it is good."

After Ma Yun left with a strange expression, Li Zhijin gritted her teeth and looked at Su Ning, "Su Ning, you made me lose so badly!"

Su Ning calmly looked at her: "Ms. Li, there are winners and losers in the market, and you're the one who's arrogant. We can't give up this opportunity to make money just because of your stubbornness, can we?"

Li Zhijin clenched her fists, wanting to refute, but found herself speechless.

Yes! If she hadn't blindly trusted Wei Jinghai, if she hadn't been so arrogant...

"Then why didn't you remind me?"

"Are you willing to believe it? Or is there some special relationship between us?"

She took a deep breath and finally said coldly, "You've got guts! We'll see!"

After saying that, she turned and left, her back view stubborn and lonely.

"..."

Watching Li Zhijin's sullen back, Su Ning couldn't help but smile slightly, thinking that she was a rich and beautiful little firecracker.

It's a pity it's too spicy, otherwise I wouldn't mind trying it...

……

Hangzhou, the capital headquarters on the shore of West Lake.

Inside the trading hall, the numbers jumping on the electronic screens are like cheerful musical notes, and the red and green candlestick charts outline exciting curves.

"Mr. Xu, our return rate last month has broken the industry record again!" an analyst reported excitedly.

Xu Wenbo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the beautiful scenery of West Lake, a faint smile on his lips: "Notify the finance department that all employees' bonuses will be doubled this month."

Cheers instantly resounded throughout the entire floor.

On the shores of West Lake, it enjoys unparalleled prominence.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Jufeng Capital, the office area was deathly quiet. Several traders stared blankly at their computer screens, and the coffee machine in the break room hadn't been used for half a day.

Li Zhijin pushed open the conference room door, where several senior executives sat with worried expressions.

"Mr. Li, we..." The CFO hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

“I know,” Li Zhijin interrupted him, her voice calm. “Jufeng is currently facing a broken capital chain, market confidence has collapsed, and shareholders are withdrawing their investments.”

She took a deep breath and glanced at everyone: "But the giant peak will never fall."

After the meeting, Xu Ziqi quietly followed him.

"Mr. Li, I have some news..." he lowered his voice, "Old Master Huang of Honghu International has returned to China and is currently recuperating in Hangzhou."

Li Zhijin paused in her steps: "The Huang family in Canada?"

Xu Ziqi nodded: "Yes! If we can get his investment, Jufeng Capital might be able to turn things around."

A sharp glint flashed in Li Zhijin's eyes: "Arrange a meeting."

"it is good."

……

The Li Group, late at night.

Wei Jinghai stared at the transaction data on the computer screen, his face terribly gloomy.

"The trading techniques employed by the West Lake..." he murmured to himself, "This is something no ordinary team could achieve."

He pulled up his trading records from the past six months and was increasingly alarmed as he looked at them—precise timing, near-perfect position control, and even every market fluctuation was predicted in advance!
"Could it really be... Suning?"

He recalled what Chen Hongxiong had once said...

"Suning is not an ant, he is a child with a magnifying glass."

And there was also Cai Yanzhi's warning...

"You chose the wrong opponent."

Wei Jinghai slammed his laptop shut, feeling a chill run down his spine for the first time.

He suddenly realized that he might have really messed with someone he shouldn't have.

……

Haicheng Wharf, 3 a.m.

Chen Zhuhe stood nervously in front of the container, watching the workers unload the goods one container at a time.

"Mr. Wei, the goods...the goods have really returned!" His voice trembled. "Customs didn't notice anything at all!"

With a gloomy face, Wei Jinghai reached out and grabbed a piece of amber mixed in with the gravel and slag. Under the light, the golden amber refracted an alluring luster.

"What did Sanko say?"

“He said…this was just a warning.” Chen Zhuhe swallowed hard. “If we want to continue using his smuggling channels, we have to follow his rules.”

Wei Jinghai sneered: "Rules? What rules?"

"He wants... a 30% stake in the Calponia mining area."

Wei Jinghai's eyes flashed coldly, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Tell him we can talk. But we need to get the operating rights for the mining area first.”

"clear."

After Chen Zhuhe left, Wei Jinghai dialed an encrypted number: "Find out who hijacked this batch of goods in the first place."

He suspected that Zhao Xin and Suning might have orchestrated this scheme together!

The timing of Suning's visit to Hangzhou this time was just too perfect, as if it were all preordained.

……

A top-tier luxury residence located beside Xixi Wetland in Hangzhou.

When Li Zhijin first met the legendary Old Master Huang, he was an elderly man with a full head of white hair but a vigorous spirit and sharp eyes like an eagle.

At this moment, Li Zhijin treated Mr. Huang with great courtesy and politeness, saying, "Mr. Huang, hello! I am Li Zhijin."

"Young lady, do you know why I agreed to see you?" Old Master Huang slowly brewed tea for Li Zhijin.

Li Zhijin straightened his back: "Because of the investment required for the giant peak."

Grandpa Huang smiled: "No! It's because of your grandfather, Li Minxian; I once owed him a favor."

Li Zhijin was taken aback.

“I can invest in Jufeng, but on one condition.” Old Master Huang put down his teacup. “I want you to take over the Nanshan Chamber of Commerce and go back to manage the Li Group.”

Li Zhijin's pupils contracted slightly: "Why me?"

“Because Wei Jinghai is no good, and neither is Fan Longquan.” Old Master Huang’s gaze was deep. “But you, with the blood of the Li family, are ruthless enough.”

Li Zhijin remained silent for a long time before finally nodding: "Okay."

Hangzhou, the capital headquarters on the shore of West Lake in China.

As Su Ning listened to his subordinate's report, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "Li Zhijin met with Old Master Huang? Interesting."

Pei Luoshen, standing to the side, asked in a low voice, "Su Ning, should we...?"

"No need," Su Ning waved her hand. "Let her do what she wants."

He walked to the window, looked down at the entire city, and gazed into the distance.

The real game has only just begun.

Meanwhile, Cai Yanzhi stood on the dock, watching a cargo ship slowly leave the port, and muttered to herself, "Wei Jinghai, this time... you're really finished."

……

A secluded high-rise apartment building in Hangzhou.

Zhao Xin sat on the sofa, a glass of whiskey in his hand, his eyes fixed on the television screen...

[Su Ning, Chairman of Jiuzhou Group, accurately predicted fluctuations in the crude oil market, making a single profit exceeding two billion US dollars, earning him the title of 'Oriental Stock God'!]

"Snapped!"

He smashed the wine glass against the wall, shards of glass flying everywhere.

"Damn it! This kid's got guts." Zhao Xin gritted his teeth, his chest heaving violently.

He originally thought he was smart enough to weather this financial storm.

He entered the market at the beginning of the crude oil price surge, made a small profit, and then quickly closed his position, withdrawing with over 100 million RMB.

Unexpectedly, Suning not only did not flee, but instead went short, directly reaping the entire crude oil futures market!
"How did this kid do that?!"

Zhao Xin walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

He recalled his actions back then...

When crude oil prices first started to surge, he keenly sensed the opportunity and decisively established a position.

In just two weeks, the unrealized profit exceeded 8000 million.

However, the market subsequently experienced severe fluctuations, and he felt vaguely uneasy, ultimately choosing to close his position and leave the market.

"Luckily I ran fast..." he muttered to himself, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He earned over 100 million RMB this time, but Suning earned 2 billion USD!

This disparity filled him with both envy and apprehension.

On television, the news continues...

[It is reported that Jufeng Capital has suffered losses of up to several billion yuan due to its long positions in crude oil futures, and Chairman Li Zhijin is urgently seeking external financing...]

Zhao Xin sneered: "That idiot Wei Jinghai actually dares to follow the trend?"

He had long known that Wei Jinghai was controlling Jufeng Capital behind the scenes and had even tried to win over Li Zhijin.

But now, with Jufeng's collapse, Wei Jinghai's plan has not only failed completely, but he has also lost everything!

"Serves you right!" Zhao Xin spat. "You really think you're a financial genius? You're not even worthy of carrying Su Ning's shoes!"

In the stillness of the night, Zhao Xin sat alone in the dark living room, his thoughts churning.

He hated Su Ning, hated that this rebellious son who had taken everything from him.

But he also had to admit that Suning's methods were more ruthless, precise, and decisive than his!

"Am I really getting old? But I'm not even fifty yet!"

He recalled his past glory in the business world, and compared it with his current dejected state as a spectator in Hangzhou, a pang of bitterness rose in his heart.

He was once a fierce tiger, but now he is a bystander.

The next day, Zhao Xin dialed a number he hadn't contacted in a long time.

"Old Huang, it's me, Zhao Sanjin."

On the other end of the phone, Grandpa Huang's voice was steady: "Little Zhao! I heard you've been in Hangzhou lately?"

"Yes," Zhao Xin said in a low voice, "I'd like to discuss a business deal with you."

"Oh? What business?"

"Regarding...the Calponia mining area."

After a moment of silence, Mr. Huang suddenly smiled and said, "Interesting. Come see me at Xixi Wetland tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, a ruthless glint flashed in Zhao Xin's eyes.

Since Suning can manipulate the financial market, Zhao Xin will find another battlefield to fight on!
