Zhang Tianxing was delighted to hear the news. What kind of people were these, resorting to such tactics when they couldn't win?
It seemed the US Treasury had set its sights on his wallet. Zhang Tianxing knew how heavy the US taxes were and didn't want this windfall to benefit them.
This group of bloodsuckers had nothing good about them.
"It's not time yet. The Nasdaq has been plummeting, and there hasn't been a decent rebound. This indicates we haven't hit rock bottom yet," Zhang Tianxing slowly shook his head. The time was not right.
Jimmy hadn't replied to him yet. The US Special Investigations Bureau had been unhappy with Zhang Tianxing for a long time, especially that airheaded woman, Jian.
Last time, her gaze had seemed like she wanted to devour Zhang Tianxing whole.
Therefore, Zhang Tianxing wasn't in a hurry to close his positions. The US had done too many shameless things, and Zhang Tianxing didn't want to give them any more opportunities.
Jimmy had assured him, "Mr. Zhang, please rest assured. We lawyers value the spirit of contract the most. I understand your predicament. Even if your opponent is the US federal government, we will stand by your side, provided you have the money to pay us accordingly."
Looking at Jimmy's profound gaze, filled with conviction, justice, and light, Zhang Tianxing knew this was the kind of person he needed. With such a professional team, many of his problems could be solved.
Just as Zhang Tianxing was eagerly anticipating, Guo Jiajia finally arrived in Boston.
Stepping onto American soil, Guo Jiajia's mind was a whirlwind. How long had it been? Zhang Tianxing had already made his way to the US.
It seemed Zhang Tianxing was no ordinary man, destined for greatness when the time was right.
Perhaps Zhang Tianxing would create a new legend in Boston.
Guo Jiajia walked out of the airport and sighed. It seemed she'd have to take a taxi. She'd heard taxis here were very expensive, and Zhang the skinflint didn't seem to care about people.
She had traveled thousands of miles to a foreign land to be his little secretary, and he hadn't even arranged for someone to pick her up.
As Guo Jiajia was feeling dejected, a familiar voice rang out, "Beautiful lady, you're quite attractive. Let's be friends. I'll take you sightseeing."
Guo Jiajia suddenly looked up. The smiling, flippant man in front of her was none other than Zhang Tianxing.
"Alright, little brother!" Guo Jiajia's breath was like orchid fragrance, her eyes alluring. This Zhang Tianxing was getting more slippery. She hadn't expected him to be so flirtatious after being abroad for such a short time.
The two got into the car, and Guo Jiajia immediately twisted his arm, her beautiful eyes glaring fiercely. "Zhang Tianxing, Boss Zhang, you've gotten quite bold. You're flirting with me now, are you planning to make this humble girl your bed warmer next?"
Zhang Tianxing was caught off guard, not expecting Guo Jiajia's counterattack so quickly. "Let go, it hurts, it hurts, sister Jiajia, be gentle!"
Guo Jiajia was unmoved, exerting full force. "You little rascal, you get a little sunshine and you're beaming. Don't you realize I'm a weak woman, all alone in this foreign land, and you're here flirting around? What did I do wrong in my past life to be sent such a devil to torment me?"
Seeing Guo Jiajia's expression, Zhang Tianxing panicked. What was going on? He had only been happy to see Guo Jiajia and made a joke.
However, Zhang Tianxing knew one thing: you shouldn't reason with a woman at this moment. Trying to reason with an emotional woman was futile, like playing a lute to a cow, a waste of feelings.
After Guo Jiajia vented, she slowly calmed down, inwardly marveling. She had weathered storms before, so why could this young Boss Zhang's words make her so furious?
Thinking of this, Guo Jiajia blushed. Her actions just now were too intimate. Well, Boss Zhang was just a young boy after all. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, I'm back to normal now. I've heard about your great achievements. I never imagined you'd short the Nasdaq with one hundred million US dollars."
Then, Guo Jiajia's face was full of curiosity. "By the way, Boss Zhang, where did you get one hundred million US dollars? In China, the most you could have provided was just over sixty million US dollars?"
"A wise man has his ways. If I revealed all my cards, you could just take over as boss, couldn't you?" Zhang Tianxing said with a hint of annoyance.
"Boss, just tell me. I'm very curious. How much assets do you have now? What do you need me to do in the US this time? These need to be clarified in advance. A good general never fights an unprepared battle," Guo Jiajia felt uneasy. She was in an unfamiliar place with no support. Doing business abroad without backing lacked confidence.
She feared all their hard work would benefit others.
"It's like this. We don't have much cash on hand now, only a few million US dollars. But my account, the one shorting the Nasdaq with one hundred million US dollars, will yield quite a bit later," Zhang Tianxing smiled. This was the easiest money he had ever made.
"Quite a bit? Double?" Guo Jiajia mustered up her courage and guessed high. If she guessed this high, you couldn't possibly be higher, right?
"It's more than that now. But it's not the time to discuss this. As long as I haven't closed my position, it's all just paper profit," Zhang Tianxing said with a wry smile.
"Since you don't have cash on hand, why are you rushing me to come here? Don't you know Zhonghai is about to fall into chaos?" Guo Jiajia was amused to the point of exasperation. This Zhang Tianxing was indeed young, acting on impulse, forgetting that Zhonghai was his base.
But then again, based on Guo Jiajia's guess, this was probably a result of Zhang Tianxing getting carried away after his victory in the B-share market some time ago.
Making money in the real economy was so little compared to the significant profits he could gain by simply picking a few stock codes in the market and playing around.
In Guo Jiajia's eyes, this was speculative behavior, wrong and unhealthy investment.
She had thought Zhang Tianxing would lie low for a while after going abroad, but instead, he was here shorting the Nasdaq with one hundred million US dollars. Was Zhang Tianxing crazy?
He shouldn't forget that it wasn't the era when one person's gain meant the whole family was fed. Quite a few people now depended on Zhang Tianxing for their salaries.
If Zhang Tianxing were to lose everything now, many families would return to poverty. The improved lives they had due to Zhang Tianxing would be gone forever.
"Young Boss Zhang, this isn't like you. Back in China, you made your fortune stealthily, like a silent strike. Why are you high-profile shorting the Nasdaq this time? What exactly do you want to do?" Guo Jiajia's barrage of questions came non-stop.
Zhang Tianxing raised his hands in surrender. "It's like this. To put it briefly, sister Jiajia, there are a few projects here that I need you to evaluate. Assess their prospects, feasibility, and key technologies. Here's the list."
He directly handed Guo Jiajia a piece of paper covered in dense writing.
