Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

11:20 a.m.

The compound of the Jiangcheng County Government.

A black Audi with a provincial capital license plate sped into the courtyard.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Zhao Jianheng pushed open the door and got out.

He was in his early fifties, with meticulously groomed hair, and was a rather authoritative figure in the provincial development and reform system.

But at this moment, his face was gloomy, his steps were extremely fast, and there was an uncontrollable anxiety between his brows.

Zhao Qiming had already been summoned from the hotel by his secretary.

He stood at the entrance of the county government's reception building, his face still showing some resentment.

"Dad, why did you come in person? It's just a private mining company in Jiangcheng County, is it really that big of a deal?"

"Snapped!"

The voice just fell.

A resounding slap landed hard on Zhao Qiming's face.

Zhao Qiming staggered half a step after being hit, covering his face with disbelief in his eyes.

"dad?!"

Zhao Jianheng lowered his voice, almost squeezing out a few words through clenched teeth:

"You piece of trash! A gold mine worth over a billion, and you want 30% for only 100 million? Is this how you do business?"

Zhao Qiming's expression finally changed.

Although he was often scolded growing up, Zhao Jianheng rarely resorted to violence in public.

What's more, it happened in the Jiangcheng County government compound.

"I……"

"Shut up."

Zhao Jianheng coldly interrupted him, "Now come with me to see Secretary Zhou, see Deputy County Head Wang, and then go to Xingxin Mining to apologize to them."

"An apology?" Zhao Qiming's eyes widened instantly. "To Lin Wan? To Liu Xin? Dad, are you mistaken? Who do they think they are?"

Zhao Jianheng raised his hand and slapped him again.

This time, it was even more ruthless than before.

Zhao Qiming's lip was broken, and he was completely stunned on the spot.

Looking at his son, who had been spoiled rotten, Zhao Jianheng's eyes were filled with lingering fear.

"You still don't know who you've messed with."

"The review team from the Provincial Department of Natural Resources has been withdrawn."

"Governor Liang of the Provincial Party Committee personally called me."

Upon hearing the name Governor Liang, Zhao Qiming's anger instantly froze.

Even if he's stupid, he knows what those three words mean.

He was a figure who truly stood at the center of power in the province.

Let alone Zhao Qiming, even his father Zhao Jianheng could only bow his head and listen to his lecture in front of the other party.

"How could this be..." Zhao Qiming muttered, "How could a gold mine in Jiangcheng County have alarmed Governor Liang?"

Zhao Jianheng sneered.

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

After saying that, he didn't give his son a chance to talk nonsense and went straight into the county party committee office building.

Zhao Qiming touched the cracked corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue and tasted a metallic rust.

He followed behind his father with his head down, watching the heavy steps of those leather shoes, as if they were about to crush the floor tiles, while the rage in his heart burned ever brighter.

"When I arrived, they all boasted about their abilities, but now that things have gone wrong, they all know how to retaliate against me."

Okay, so you're apologizing?

He sneered inwardly, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, we'll see."

……

Half an hour later.

Temporary command post for the eastern suburban mining area.

Lin Wan had just finished a field coordination meeting and was about to check the sealing records of the No. 1 exploration well when Deputy County Head Wang called.

"President Lin, Zhao Jianheng has arrived."

Lin Wan paused, "Zhao Qiming's father?"

"Yes." Deputy County Chief Wang's tone was complicated. "He has already met with Secretary Zhou, and now he is bringing Zhao Qiming to the mining area, saying that he wants to apologize in person."

Lin Wan's eyes flickered slightly.

Zhao Qiming made some harsh remarks in the mining area yesterday afternoon.

This afternoon, the Zhao family father and son came to apologize.

Less than a day had passed in between.

"I understand," Lin Wan said calmly. "I'll wait for them at command post."

Just after hanging up the phone, Liu Xin came in from outside.

"Mr. Lin, what's the matter?"

"The Zhao family father and son must come and apologize."

Liu Xin was taken aback at first, then her eyes widened suddenly: "Apologize? That bastard Zhao Qiming?"

Lin Wan glanced at him.

Liu Xin immediately coughed: "What I mean is, how could such a big shot as President Zhao have come to his senses so quickly?"

Lin Wan said calmly, "It was his father who came to his senses."

Liu Xin touched his chin and suddenly chuckled.

"President Chen has made a move?"

Lin Wan did not answer.

But both of them knew the truth.

A dozen minutes later, the convoy arrived at the mining area.

After getting out of the car, Zhao Jianheng did not put on any airs of a provincial leader.

He didn't even go into the temporary meeting room; instead, he stood at the door and waited for Lin Wan to come out.

Upon seeing Lin Wan for the first time, Zhao Jianheng's heart sank slightly. So young and beautiful, indeed.

No company run by a beautiful woman is simple.

"President Lin."

Zhao Jianheng took the initiative to step forward, extended his hand, and adopted a very humble posture.

"I am Zhao Qiming's father, Zhao Jianheng. Yesterday, my son's words and actions in the East Suburbs mining area were inappropriate, causing great trouble to Xingxin Mining and Xingchen Technology. I have brought him here today to apologize."

Lin Wan politely extended her hand and gently shook it.

"Director Zhao, you're too kind."

Zhao Jianheng turned his head, his voice suddenly turning cold: "Come here."

Zhao Qiming stood behind, his face alternating between pale and flushed. Yesterday, he had arrogantly said that he would make Lin Wan kneel down and beg him, but today he was being forced by his father to apologize. This contrast made him feel so ashamed and indignant that he almost died.

But with the words "Governor Liang" weighing heavily on his mind, he could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.

He twitched his injured lip, then walked up to Lin Wan, his voice stiff: "President Lin, I was rude yesterday and said some things I shouldn't have. I apologize."

Liu Xin stood to the side, arms crossed, almost bursting out laughing.

However, Lin Wan did not press her advantage to humiliate him: "President Zhao, Xingchen Technology welcomes legal and compliant investment exchanges, but does not accept any form of coercion."

Lin Wan's voice was not loud, but very clear: "I can treat yesterday's incident as a misunderstanding. I just hope that similar misunderstandings will not occur again in the future."

Zhao Jianheng immediately replied, "No, absolutely not."

He took a document from his secretary and handed it to Lin Wan.

"The so-called review team from the Provincial Department of Natural Resources has been officially cancelled. If there are any normal inspections in the future, they will definitely send letters in advance according to the prescribed procedures and will not interfere with Xingxin Mining's normal exploration and construction."

"Furthermore, I hereby guarantee that Qihua Capital will not engage in any further matters concerning Xingxin Mining's equity."

Lin Wan took the document, glanced at it, and nodded: "Director Zhao is very thoughtful."

Zhao Jianheng breathed a sigh of relief; at least the other party was willing to accept the documents, which meant there was still room for negotiation.

He then looked at Liu Xin: "Mr. Liu, my son also offended me greatly yesterday."

Liu Xin gave a forced smile: "Director Zhao, you're exaggerating. We roughnecks in the mining industry may not know much else, but we know that we're definitely not happy if someone tries to take our jobs."

Zhao Jianheng's face stiffened slightly, but he could only nod: "Of course, of course."

Zhao Qiming stood to the side, his head hanging even lower, his eyes growing increasingly fierce. This was the first time in his life he had felt so aggrieved.

But now I don't dare to say a word in rebuttal.

Before leaving, Zhao Jianheng said to Lin Wan, "President Lin, if it's convenient, please convey my apologies to President Chen. I will definitely pay him a visit in person another day."

Lin Wan nodded and said, "I will pass it on."

After the Zhao family father and son left, Liu Xin finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That was satisfying! Absolutely satisfying! Yesterday they were acting like they owned the place, but today they're as livid as if struck by frost. Mr. Lin and Mr. Chen, your methods are truly amazing!"

Lin Wan watched the departing convoy, her heart also trembling, but she didn't show it.

She simply took out her phone and sent Chen Mo a text message: "Zhao Jianheng took Zhao Qiming to the mining area to apologize, the provincial Department of Natural Resources' review team was canceled, and Qihua Capital promised not to have any further contact with Xingxin Mining's equity."

……

Hong Kong.

The Presidential Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel.

When Chen Mo received the text message, he was confirming the registration structure of Chuangsheng Investment with the Cayman legal team.

He glanced down at it, a strange glint in his eyes.

It was resolved, even faster than he had anticipated.

Although he had long known that Lu Jingyi had a powerful background and guessed that her actions would not be just a matter of ordinary business dealings with Merrill Lynch, the fact that she could get the Zhao family father and son to personally apologize overnight still exceeded his expectations.

The connection with the Lu family is even deeper than the rumors from my previous life suggested.

Chen Mo calmly placed his phone face down on the table.

The meeting continued.

Cayman lawyers are explaining the board structure and beneficiary disclosure arrangements for Genesis Investments.

Chen Mo listened attentively, occasionally asking a few questions.

It wasn't until the morning meeting came to an end that he looked at Lu Jingyi, who was sitting to the side.

"Ms. Lu, would you mind having a private chat with me for a few minutes?"

Lu Jingyi smiled slightly: "Of course."

The two walked to the study in the suite.

After the door closed, Chen Mo handed over the phone.

On the screen was a text message that Lin Wan had just sent.

Lu Jingyi glanced at it, her expression not changing much, only the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"It seems the efficiency in the western province is quite good."

"More than good." Chen Mo looked at her, his tone becoming more serious. "Ms. Lu, thank you very much this time."

"Didn't President Chen say that this is fair and just?"

"Fairness and justice also need people to promote them."

Chen Mo took out a pre-written English letter from a folder next to his desk.

Lu Jingyi was taken aback: "What is this?"

Letter of commendation.

Lu Jingyi blinked, then couldn't help but laugh.

"You actually wrote it?"

"I always keep my word."

Chen Mo handed her the letter.

The letter paper is high-grade business paper provided by the hotel, and the English wording is extremely formal.

To Merrill Lynch Asia Pacific management.

The letter highly praised Lu Jingyi's professional competence during this trip to Hong Kong, as well as her judgment and execution in handling complex matters.

The wording is not exaggerated, but it carries great weight.

Lu Jingyi originally accepted it as a joke.

But as he looked at it, his gaze gradually became serious.

I must say, it's actually quite well-written.

Moreover, it reads very much like a formal feedback that a genuine ultra-high-net-worth client would write to senior management at an investment bank, not just a casual note to appease someone.

Lu Jingyi looked up at Chen Mo, her eyes filled with barely suppressed laughter.

"Mr. Chen, if you really send this letter to the Asia-Pacific president, my bonus this year might be much higher."

"That's good," Chen Mo said casually. "It means my treat wasn't a waste of money."

Lu Jingyi folded the letter carefully and put it into her folder.

"I'll accept it." She paused, then added, "Whether I send it or not, I'll keep this letter."

Chen Mo glanced at her: "You cherish it that much?"

"Of course," Lu Jingyi said with a smile. "This is the first time I've received a letter of praise from an eighteen-year-old client."

"There might be more in the future."

"Then I'd better keep up the good work."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became more natural than the night before.

……

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Goldman Sachs' institutional client team arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.

The team was led by a director of derivatives sales for the Asia-Pacific region, accompanied by representatives from legal, risk control, and private wealth management departments.

The meeting style was completely different from Merrill Lynch's.

Goldman Sachs is more assertive and more astute.

They asked very detailed questions about the source of funds, trading authority, margin arrangements, and risk disclosure of Chuangsheng Investment.

Chen Mo did not evade the issue, and after all the materials were laid out on the table, the Goldman Sachs team's attitude quickly changed.

With over $400 million in net assets, a complete transaction chain, and a clear offshore structure.

More importantly, this young client clearly understands derivatives, which is not a problem for Goldman Sachs, but a high-quality target.

4:30 PM.

Morgan's team then entered.

Compared to Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley places greater emphasis on long-term relationships and structural security. They have offered to provide Genesis Investment with a more comprehensive multi-currency funding pool, foreign exchange derivatives quotas, and US stock margin trading support.

Lu Jingyi sat beside him, occasionally adding a word or two for Chen Mo.

Six o'clock in the evening.

The two consecutive meetings have concluded.

The multi-bank structure of Chuangsheng Investment has finally been initially finalized.

Merrill Lynch serves as the primary trading channel, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley serve as sub-accounts and backup trading channels, and Standard Chartered is responsible for Asian fund transfers and backup cash management.

The documents for the Cayman entity and the Hong Kong operating subsidiary are then put into an expedited registration process.

Chen Mo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the sunset over Victoria Harbour slowly sink below the horizon.

Lu Jingyi walked to his side and handed him a newly updated schedule.

"We'll sign the Standard Chartered documents tomorrow morning, and have a final confirmation meeting with the Cayman lawyer this afternoon. If all goes well, all four bank accounts should be opened within a week."

Chen Mo nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Mr. Chen has thanked me many times today."

"I'll treat you to dinner again later. Today we're eating at another Michelin three-star restaurant in the Four Seasons Hotel!"

"Mr. Chen, you've gone to so much trouble!"
