Lu Jiuge extended her hand and shook hands with Jonathan. There were no extra formalities, only an unspoken understanding after their interests were intertwined.

Jonathan released his grip without further delay, and after Zheng Liang provided his bank account details, he immediately took out his phone and made a call:

"Immediately transfer five billion US dollars to the account I send you. Be careful to keep it confidential and do not leave any trace."

After hanging up the phone, he stood up, straightened his suit, and looked at Lu Jiuge:

"Mr. Lu, let's both get busy. You need to go back and make money for me, and I need to go back to the family to stabilize the situation and handle your share buyback!"

Lu Jiuge nodded slightly:

"Don't worry, I'll take action as soon as the funds arrive. I won't break my promise of a week."

He paused, then emphasized again:

"You also need to hurry up on your end. Once you've earned 10 billion US dollars, I must immediately acquire the shares of Qianxing Entertainment."

Jonathan nodded:

"I know, I guarantee it'll be done in a week!"

"No, it needs to be within a week, the sooner the better!"

Lu Jiuge shook her head and emphasized:

"I can achieve a profit target of 10 billion US dollars in as little as three days, so you actually only have three days!"

Jonathan froze, stared at Lu Jiuge for a few seconds, and then nodded:

"Mr. Lu, don't worry, I'll definitely make money faster than you!"

"That's good, I'll be going now!"

After giving a brief reply, Lu Jiuge left with Zheng Liang.

Inside the car, Zheng Liang drove while unable to resist turning his head to look at Lu Jiuge in the passenger seat:

"Ninth Brother, can we really trust Jonathan? He's a member of the Morgan family after all. What if we help him make money and then he turns around and bites us?"

"You can't see into someone's heart, especially Wall Street's capital players, who only care about profits."

Lu Jiuge leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and spoke softly:

"Right now we're using each other. He needs money to seize power, and I need his help to buy back shares. For now, we're in the same boat, but we can't be too careful."

Zheng Liang gripped the steering wheel, looked at the road ahead, and couldn't help but sigh:

"Ninth Brother, to be honest, it would have been great if you had gotten involved with the Zheng family earlier."

The Zheng family's capital strength in Hong Kong and mainland China is considerable. To say nothing of more, they can still come up with the $20 billion that Morgan Stanley initially gave you!

"If the old man had invested in you back then, we wouldn't be being manipulated by Morgan Stanley now!"

Lu Jiuge opened her eyes and turned to look at Zheng Liang:

"There's no such thing as too early or too late; everything has a cause and effect."

"If it weren't for the connection with Morgan Stanley, I would never have had the chance to come into contact with your Zheng family, let alone meet Shu Yi, and I would never have become your brother-in-law."

He paused, then continued explaining:

"Furthermore, at the time I was blacklisted in mainland China, I was able to return to the country smoothly, and Qianxing Entertainment Group was able to relocate to Hong Kong. Without the backing of Morgan Stanley, this would have been impossible!"

"In fact, Morgan Stanley played an irreplaceable role in the development of Qianxing Capital. The cooperation at that time was a win-win situation for both parties."

Zheng Liang was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Lu Jiuge to say that, and then frowned.

"But they're clearly trying to manipulate you and screw us over!"

"Times have changed."

A relieved smile appeared on Lu Jiuge's lips:

"I needed their resources back then, so we cooperated for mutual benefit. Now that Qianxing Capital has established itself, I also have enough capital and confidence."

Morgan Stanley has lost its usefulness, so there's no basis for continued cooperation; it's time to cut ties!

"Morgan Stanley Capital saw this as an opportunity, which is why they were so eager to target me and try to acquire Qianxing Capital."

Zheng Liang nodded thoughtfully, then remained silent and focused on driving.

Half an hour later, the car stopped downstairs at the trading company.

Lu Jiuge pushed open the car door and strode into the building, with Zheng Liang following closely behind.

As soon as the door to the trading hall was pushed open, Chen Dawei and a group of traders, who had been staring at the screen, all stood up instantly.

All eyes turned to Lu Jiuge, their faces filled with tension and apprehension, fearing they might hear bad news from her.

David Chen walked up to Lu Jiuge and asked nervously:

"Mr. Lu, how's it going? What did Morgan Stanley say? Are our accounts and positions alright?"

"Don't worry, everyone, sit down."

Lu Jiuge raised her hand to lower the pressure, her voice calm as she swept over the crowd:

"The matter has been settled, and for the time being, everything is fine. Morgan Stanley will not target us rashly."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Jiuge patted Chen Dawei's arm, walked to the control panel, and without hiding anything, raised her voice to state the terms of the negotiation with Jonathan:

"I reached a cooperation agreement with Jonathan. He put up five billion US dollars, and I helped him make a net profit of ten billion US dollars within a week."

He was responsible for persuading the Morgan family to buy back all of their shares in Qianxing Entertainment to me at a premium.

As soon as he finished speaking, a collective gasp filled the hall.

"Five billion in principal, ten billion in a week? That's more than doubling the return!"

"President Lu, this is far too difficult. Even with our previous track record, dealing with such a large amount of money in such a short time could easily lead to problems!"

David Chen also frowned, walked to Lu Jiuge's side, and lowered his voice:

"Mr. Lu, five billion US dollars—that's a significant position we need to leverage. Plus, Morgan Stanley is already paying attention to the market; any move we make will be scrutinized. Earning ten billion in a week is really difficult!"

"I know it will be difficult."

Lu Jiuge's eyes were firm:

"But this collaboration is not just a simple operation; it relates to Qianxing Capital's overall strategic plan for the future."

"The shares of Qianxing Entertainment Group held by Morgan Stanley must be bought back; this is the best opportunity!"

He paused, looked at David Chen, and gave the order in a serious tone:

"Old Chen, once Jonathan's 5 billion arrives, you won't need to go through the segregated channel anymore. Just inject it directly into our existing fund pool and manage it uniformly."

Upon hearing this, David Chen was taken aback.

"Mr. Lu, a direct merger? Wouldn't that be too risky?"

"Our existing positions were already quite large. Adding another five billion could easily cause market fluctuations and alert Morgan Stanley to our true trading strategy!"

"Do as I say."

Lu Jiuge gave him no room for negotiation, and instructed him:

"But everyone remember this: the entire process of this merger operation, the specific positions, and the buy and sell points must not be revealed to Jonathan."

Zheng Liang stood to the side, completely bewildered, and couldn't help but ask:

"Ninth Brother, haven't you already formed a cooperative alliance? Why are you still wary of him?"

"alliance?"

Lu Jiuge sneered, a sharp glint in her eyes:

"In the capital market, apart from our own people, there are no permanent allies, only permanent interests."

Jonathan is on our side now because he can get ten billion dollars from us and gain a position in the family.”

"But if there's a greater incentive, or if the Morgan family puts pressure on him, he might sell us out at any time to protect himself!"

"Jonathan, who grew up in the Morgan family, is more shrewd and ruthless than anyone else. He can never be completely trusted."

Zheng Liang suddenly understood, realizing the intricacies of the matter, and nodded emphatically:

"I understand, Ninth Brother. I was underestimating things!"

Lu Jiuge nodded, looked at everyone, and emphasized again:

"Everyone should watch what they say. This is a matter of life and death for Qianxing Capital. We can't afford any accidents."

……

Ten minutes later, Jonathan's five billion US dollars arrived in his account. Lu Jiuge did not hesitate and had Zheng Liang transfer the money to the operation fund pool. Chen Dawei immediately led the team to take action.
