Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

When Cao Xing heard this, he immediately frowned and a faint murderous aura emanated from his body.

Chen Dawen just felt his whole body shiver, as if the room suddenly became cold.

He quickly looked at Cao Xing, only to see a pair of sharp eyes staring at him.

"I remember telling you before, if you have any contact again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Chen Dawen was shocked and said quickly, "Mr. Cao, they just wanted to come to me because I have become famous recently. Besides, they don't know you exist."

Cao Xing tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers.

"I can give you one chance. Find a time to explain to them clearly that you are working for me now, and I don't want the reputation you have worked so hard to build to be completely destroyed by a bunch of fans."

Upon hearing this, Chen Dawen quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely let them know the seriousness of the matter."

Cao Xing sneered, "Haha, they are desperate people. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Even if you explain it to them clearly, it probably won't work. In the end, you have to let them disappear from the world. Only then can there be peace. Be prepared."

"Mr. Cao, is there really no other way?"

"Chen Dawen, why did I choose you from among so many people? Because you are smart and know how to judge the situation. Ask yourself what people like them would do if they knew your current status?"

Chen Dawen thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid they will use my identity to gain benefits."

"Where will this lead?"

Chen Dawen's face was very ugly: "It will cause the reputation and status that I have worked so hard to build to be destroyed in an instant!"

Cao Xing slowly floated up and floated towards Chen Dawen, finally stopping when he was only three feet away from Chen Dawen.

"You are a smart man. Everything you have worked so hard to achieve is my plan. If my plan is destroyed, just imagine my anger."

Chen Dawen didn't dare to look at Cao Xing who was floating in the air, as cold sweat had soaked his clothes.

"Mr. Cao, I will make sure they understand the seriousness of the matter. If they do anything else, I will clean up the mess myself."

Cao Xing laughed evilly and flew back to his seat: "Your phrase 'cleaning up the house' is not very appropriate. I hate people who sell powder the most in my life. I don't care how many of these people die."

"Yes, I will definitely draw a clear line between myself and them!"

"Well, it's good that you understand, Awen. I'm not afraid of you making mistakes. Even if you burn the money I gave you, I won't be so angry. But you can't make mistakes on matters of principle. Once you make a mistake, I won't even give you face!"

"I understand, Mr. Cao. Just wait and see how I perform. I will definitely not let you down."

"Well, now that this matter has been resolved, let's talk about the money issue. How big is the money gap?"

Chen Dawen took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then spoke.

"If it involves the energy utility industry and the shipping industry, I think the funding gap is very large. I estimate it to be around 30 million US dollars."

"Thirty million dollars?"

Chen Dawen said quickly: "30 million US dollars can establish the largest shipping company in Southeast Asia or even Asia, and the power company can also be started."

Thirty million US dollars is not a small amount. Even if most people have so many Hong Kong dollars, they do not have that much foreign exchange, and even less US dollar reserves.

In this era, the US dollar was very valuable. 25 US dollars could be exchanged for one ounce of gold, which means less than one US dollar could be exchanged for one gram of gold.

Although Cao Xing had a lot of gold, he could only exchange it for a few million dollars.

"Once the company is established, do you have enough talents to manage it? How many professional talents do you have? How long will it take for the shipping company to deliver the ship? Have you considered all these?"

The questions Cao Xing asked were all very practical, but it was obvious that Chen Dawen was already prepared.

"I plan to first acquire a small shipping company and then gradually expand it. I expect to become the largest ocean shipping company in Southeast Asia within two years."

“How much is the initial investment?”

"If it's just the initial investment, one million dollars is enough, but if you want to develop quickly, funds are essential."

Cao Xing understood that Chen Dawen didn't want to ask Cao Xing for money again and again, but wanted to get enough at once, and then he could do it with all his might.

After all, it was Cao Xing who decided on the strategy of spending money in the early stages, not making money.

If you want to develop quickly, money is of course essential.

"What about the power station?"

"I have already reached an agreement with the Hong Kong government. They are ready to develop the New Territories, and they can give me full authority to operate the electricity business, but the government wants to hold a 20% stake."

"You take care of these. Here is a Citibank check for $7 million. It's definitely from a legitimate source, and it can also give you a background in the United States. I'll figure out a way to get the rest of the money."

In this era, the world's richest man only has 10 billion US dollars, and he may not even have that much cash, so 30 million US dollars is not a small amount.

Even this figure can be regarded as strategic reserve funds by most countries.

Chen Dawen obviously knew that this was an astronomical figure, and even if Cao Xing was a god, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with it.

However, as Cao Xing's younger brother, he must of course tell the best solution.

"Mr. Cao, with this money you don't have to worry about funding issues for at least a year, and you can take your time with the rest."

Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "I am impatient and don't want to think about this all the time. When a problem arises, it must be solved. Don't worry about this matter. I will let you know when I have an idea."

"Okay, actually I only talked about the best solution. There are other solutions. The seven million dollars is definitely enough, but the development will be relatively slow."

Cao Xing waved his hand to stop him from speaking further.

"Go down first and take care of your own business. You don't have to worry about this."

"Okay Mr. Cao."

After Chen Dawen left, Cao Xing began to think carefully.

There are several ways for him to obtain dollars.

The first one is robbery.

But now the US dollar is very scarce, and even if you use a huge amount of Hong Kong dollars to exchange it, it probably won’t be possible.

Not to mention the U.S. dollars in private hands, which are certainly scarce.

And this method is not safe either.

Another way is to obtain US dollars through legitimate means, but in this era, the easiest way to obtain US dollars is oil. Today, the world's richest man makes huge profits through oil.

There is no way Cao Xing can get it, he needs the support of the government.

The third is to reap a large amount of capital by speculating through economic crisis.

However, the world economy is currently stable, so there is definitely no such opportunity.

Even if he had one, he would have to train a professional team in advance to operate it. It is obviously impossible for him to do it alone.

The fourth way is through the stock market, and Hong Kong stocks are not enough, you have to go to Wall Street.

This method is good, but it won’t produce results in a short period of time.

The last one is to obtain it through the Space Pawn Shop, which is the safest and fastest method.

However, he had just exchanged all the gold he had saved in the past year, and only got 7 million US dollars, which was still far from 30 million.

Like checks cashed at a space pawn shop, they are automatically reasonable.

But the problem is where he can get the huge amount of gold.

Soon his eyes lit up and he muttered to himself.

"I heard that you've been having a pretty good life lately."
