Name: My father is Zhao Dehan, and I hope he will become a dragon!

Zhao Chongming sat up abruptly, his heart pounding like a drum.

"Five draws..."

He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming, "Come on, let me see what good stuff this damn system of yours is hiding."

He closed his eyes and silently chanted in his mind, "Start the lottery."

First lottery draw – [A virtual capital pool of tens of billions of US dollars]

It can be used for global stock market, futures, foreign exchange, and commodity trading;

Funds cannot be withdrawn directly or used for physical investments;

However, all transaction profits belong 100% to the host, and their source is legalized.

Zhao Chongming was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy.

That's ten billion US dollars!

Even if you only do low-risk arbitrage, with an annualized return of 10%, that's a net profit of one billion US dollars—enough to buy half of the manufacturing industry in Jingzhou City. This was in 2007, when the US was at its zenith, before the subprime mortgage crisis even broke out, and the value of the US dollar was at its peak.

More importantly, the source of this money cannot be traced, yet it can be presented as "legal business income".

"Wonderful... Absolutely wonderful."

Zhao Chongming truly didn't expect that the dog system could actually create such a surprise for him.

Once you have a billion dollars in your hands, you can do anything with ease.

Technology is something that can make bricks fly.

It's impossible to succeed without investing money in technology.

Zhao Chongming was aware of his situation.

My foundation was too weak; the only start-up capital I had was 200 million yuan given to me by my father.

Two hundred million seems like a lot, but in reality, it's just so-so.

A little bit of technology is enough to burn you up.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Chongming mentally addressed the system: "Give me a second draw!"

Second lottery draw – [Global Financial Ghost System (One-time offer)]

During its use, it can bypass SWIFT, central banks of various countries, and tax audit systems to complete cross-border transfers of any amount and conceal assets.

All traces of the operation were automatically erased, and the subsequent audit showed "no abnormalities";

Even if the funds come to light in the future, they will be considered normal business gains.

Zhao Chongming's pupils contracted.

This is not a tool; it's a financial nuclear bomb.

The 400 million yuan from Shanshui Group? Ding Yizhen's hidden embezzled funds? Zhao Ruilong's overseas accounts? None of that matters.

He can make money in the global stock market without restraint if he wants, and then return under the name of "Chongming Capital Overseas Financing".

No one will suspect anything.

The second draw can still be combined with the first draw.

With 10 billion US dollars, I could easily short the US stock market.

The subprime crisis is about to erupt.

If you manage things well, you can make a fortune.

"System, can this financial phantom tool be leveraged?" Zhao Chongming asked in his mind.

"Can!"

"What's the highest?" Zhao Chongming asked himself again.

"Ten times!" the system replied mechanically.

"System, give me leverage! System, give me ten times!" Zhao Chongming exclaimed excitedly. "Then, can we leverage the previous 10 billion US dollars in cryptocurrency to 100 billion US dollars?"

"Sure!" the system replied again.

This is awesome!

Zhao Chongming laughed.

The US government has no way of monitoring this $100 billion; it can operate it domestically through its system.

Then, he could potentially unleash a financial tsunami far more devastating than any in history.

Let the subprime crisis become even more severe.

"System, system, you're really my dad!" Zhao Chongming couldn't help but laugh, then said in his mind, "Third lottery draw!"

Third giveaway – [Complete technical data for ASML Twinscan XT:1950i lithography machine (2010 level, 38nm)]

Includes optical system, dual workpiece stage, immersion module, and control software source code;

The entire machine can be independently replicated domestically, breaking through the blockade of the Wassenaar Arrangement.

"38 nanometers..." Zhao Chongming was stunned for a moment, then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

In 2007, SMIC was still struggling with 90nm, while TSMC had just started mass production of 65nm.

38nm means that China's chip industry started five years ahead of schedule!

Five years!

ASML doesn't even have its own technology right now.

He immediately thought: next to the Nanhu Industrial Park, a "Chongming Semiconductor" could be built, dedicated to supplying domestic mobile phone chips—completely getting rid of Qualcomm and MediaTek!

However, the idea is good, whether it can be implemented is another matter.

Lithography machine production is one aspect, but another aspect is the need for chip foundries, such as TSMC.

We need money and talent.

This is not something one person can handle alone.

It definitely won't be able to happen this year; it will have to wait until next year.

Once the US subprime mortgage crisis ends and they've made a fortune, they'll have the money and capital to support related domestic industries. By the time this semiconductor and chip foundry is actually established, it won't be until 2009 at the earliest, or even 2010.

However, this does not mean it will be useless at that time.

Even if it's synchronous or at the same level, you still don't have the ability to hold them back.

Zhao Chongming thought to himself, "The fourth lottery!"

Fourth lottery draw – [Truth-Spitting Talisman (Single Use)]

After being used on the target, the target will be unable to lie for one hour and will answer any question truthfully.

The effects are imperceptible, and the target has no memory of them afterward.

Zhao Chongming's eyes suddenly turned cold.

How many debts is Qi Tongwei hiding? Do Gao Yuliang and Zhao Lichun have any secret agreements? Who is pushing Sha Ruijin forward?

"However, there's no need to use it now!"

Zhao Chongming muttered to himself, "Qi Tongwei and Gao Yuliang are doomed; it's just a matter of time. Using them now would be a waste. They're best suited for use at some point in the future!"

Then, Zhao Chongming began the fifth lottery draw.

Fifth lottery draw – [Time Rewind Card (30 days)]

If you make a major wrong decision, you can activate this card to turn back your personal timeline to 30 days ago;

All memories are preserved, and the world line is reset.

For single use only.

He was silent for a long time.

This card isn't a weapon; it's a last resort.

What if the Nanhu project goes bankrupt?

What if Zhao Dehan is framed? (The allure of beauty)

What if I misjudge the capital's intentions?

"With it, I dare to take the biggest gamble."

Zhao Chongming stretched his muscles and couldn't help but laugh: "Good, good, good, the future is in my hands!"

He already holds five cards in his hand:

Billions in capital (leveraging the market)

Financial Ghosts (Hidden Wealth)

Photolithography (Controlling the Future)

The Truth-Telling Symbol (Piercing Lies)

Time Reversal (Reversing the Defeat)

The last two rewards are not to be used casually.

The first three rewards, however, require time to process.

Zhao Chongming wants to maximize his own interests, which inevitably means waiting for the full outbreak of the US subprime mortgage crisis. However, that will have to wait until next year. As for lithography technology, accumulating talent, cultivating talent, and training chip industry workers, all of these will take time, and the benefits will not be seen until the future.

It won't happen overnight!

However, for Zhao Chongming, this was enough.

Once you've established a complete supporting industrial chain and demonstrated sufficient value, other provinces will be begging you to come even if you leave Handong Province.

They represent employment, economic prosperity, and political achievements!

Of course, things are quite good in Handong Province now.
