Chapter 307 Celebrate!
Why on earth did Lin Feng suddenly go abroad? Ding Wan’er racked her brain but couldn’t figure it out. She couldn’t understand what urgency Lin Feng had to leave the country so abruptly, especially without knowing how many days he would be gone. For some reason, she couldn’t help but have all kinds of wild thoughts racing through her mind...
Upon hearing the dial tone on the phone, Lin Feng was a bit surprised. Ding Wan’er had never been one to hang up on someone else first; what was up with her today? But he couldn’t afford to dwell on that now. He had to bid farewell to his parents, so he quickly dialed his mother Zhang Lan’s number, explained the situation with a few brief sentences, hung up, and focused on driving. The very moment Lin Feng’s speed picked up, with Zhou Yang’s influence smoothing things over, as long as he didn’t hit anyone, it should be fine.
On the road, Lin Feng’s car swept through traffic like a black whirlwind, constantly overtaking others—the sight of all the cars flashed by in an instant, and at times, the taillights of his black A7 weren’t even visible...
Meanwhile, Young Master Wang was celebrating with a few of his brothers in M Country,
"Old Four, why did you call us here? What’s going on?" Young Master Wang was extremely puzzled. Why had Old Four suddenly gathered everyone together? What was so important that they had to come to M Country, and why didn’t he disclose anything over the phone despite being asked? Old Four had never done something like this before.
"Yeah, Old Four, why did you call all of us here?"
"What’s the deal, Old Four, have you started playing coy like the Chinese do?"
...
The four brothers, looking at Old Four, the financial genius, were all perplexed as to what was going on in Max Dorrell’s head to urgently gather them here. But they all knew Charles must have had a reason; otherwise, he wouldn’t have summoned them so promptly.
"I’ve got good news for you all. Cloud Fund is now a thing of the past. This time, the six brothers of Tianying Society have reaped a rich harvest, even better than expected. I’ve called you here to celebrate," Max Dorrell said, seeing the eager faces of his four brothers, and he finally couldn’t resist smiling, revealing the actual situation to everybody, hoping to lift their spirits.
"What! Old Four, what are you saying, Cloud Fund is gone? How could it possibly happen so quickly!" Young Master Wang could hardly believe his ears upon hearing Old Four’s claim. It had only been three or four days since Old Four had transferred money from there. Could the world-renowned financial Giant Crocodile, Cloud Fund, really have vanished in that short time span? It seemed impossible—a small factory closure takes at least a few days; it was inconceivable for such a large fund organization to disappear overnight. Was Old Four telling the truth or playing some kind of prank?
"Old Four, is what you’re saying true or false?"
"It seems impossible, no matter how I think about it!"
"How could Cloud Fund just disappear out of the blue in such a short time?"
Staring at Max Dorrell, the four men couldn’t grasp the meaning of his words. Logically, Old Four shouldn’t be lying or joking at a time like this, but if he was saying that Cloud Fund had become history, that meant it was gone. It was hard for them to believe it was true, especially since even ordinary business bankruptcies took some time, let alone the Giant Crocodile Cloud Fund.
It had only been about four days since Old Four needed to make the transfer, an absolutely impossible timeframe for Cloud Fund to vanish, as its assets had been growing by over 20% every year; its profitability was very good. To make such an international, large-scale fund organization disappear in just four days seemed like something not even an Immortal could achieve! What on earth was Old Four implying by calling the brothers here? It definitely wasn’t for a joke.
"I knew you guys wouldn’t believe it. Just check your own accounts later, and you’ll understand. Actually, it’s not that complicated. Many people did not wish to see Chu Meng rise. You all should be very familiar with such matters," said Max Dorrell, noticing his brothers’ disbelief. He understood why they were skeptical and therefore explained the situation vaguely, simply wanting them to believe that it was true.
"Ah! So that’s what happened!" Young Master Wang finally understood why Cloud Fund had disappeared so quickly upon hearing Max Dorrell’s explanation. It seemed that many powerful entities had struck simultaneously at Cloud Fund, probably because it had encroached on someone else’s turf. This prompted these hidden wealthy families to strike instantaneously, tearing Cloud Fund apart like a pack of wolves. Now, as long as he knew that Cloud Fund was down, that was enough for him. He had no interest in those big families; knowing too much about certain things was not necessarily good.
"So Cloud Fund is gone, just like that, it’s good news."
"No wonder, Cloud Fund was so big, it couldn’t just disappear without a trace."
"Hahaha, I’m just concerned about how much money Old Four made for me."
Once Max Dorrell had explained, the four brothers instantly understood the situation. Normally, Cloud Fund wouldn’t just vanish because it was always a rapidly developing and profitable fund organization. It must have grown too quickly and inadvertently encroached on some hidden families’ interests, provoking their ire, who then banded together and attacked, erasing Cloud Fund off the map, dividing its remains among themselves.
The brothers were all too familiar with these hidden families; the wealth of these families was beyond normal imagination. Those so-called rich lists were a joke compared to these families. Usually, you wouldn’t sense their existence, but once they flexed their muscles, they would absolutely shock the world. The Cloud Fund incident was the best example of this!
However, none of that mattered now. The important thing was that the Cloud Fund had really disappeared, which meant that the brothers had made a fortune from this incident—that was truly the happiest matter. They were all quite curious, wondering just how much money each person had made this time?
"Enough of that, let’s go celebrate," someone said. "I’ve arranged everything, just follow me, brothers. Our profit margin this time is 370%, a full 70% higher than expected. Now, everyone can calculate how much money they’ve made!"
"What...what! My God! My 600 million US dollars has just turned into over 2.8 billion US dollars?" Young Master Wang couldn’t believe his ears after hearing Old Four’s words, finding it unimaginable that 600 million US dollars could multiply so vastly in just three or four days. The speed of making money was too fast to believe it was real!
"Did it multiply this much in just three or four days?"
"Yes, it’s really too much!"
"Just how deep are Cloud Fund’s pockets to have allowed this much?"
...
Hearing what Max Dorrell said, the four brothers couldn’t believe Old Four’s words were true. Such speed was even faster than outright robbery; it was hard to imagine just how much money the Cloud Fund had to be able to provide such huge profits for the brothers. Knowing that the money pooled by the brothers couldn’t compare with those big families, yet still yielding such rich benefits seemed utterly impossible!
"Heh, I only found out just how much money the Cloud Fund had after I took action—it surpassed everyone’s imagination. If it hadn’t been for one of the big families sending a top-level assassin to go after Chu Meng, disrupting Cloud Fund’s operations, we might not have been able to take down the Cloud Fund and could have been completely wiped out instead," Old Four said with a laugh.
Max Dorrell recalled just how dangerous it had been when they first moved against the Cloud Fund. Only after taking action did they learn the true extent of Cloud Fund’s finances. The several big families that collaborated barely managed to break even with the Cloud Fund. If it hadn’t been for that top-level expert chasing Chu Meng, and if Chu Meng had been overseeing Cloud Fund’s affairs, there was a risk that they might not have gotten a share of Cloud Fund but could have been swallowed by it instead!
"As for everyone’s profits, I fought for those. As the executor of this operation, I took a larger share according to the ratio, and that’s why everyone ended up with so much. Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s go celebrate! I’ve made arrangements; I guarantee the brothers will be very happy," said Max Dorrell.
Max Dorrell thought about it and decided to explain the situation in detail to avoid any further speculation. The whole thing was now in the past, and dwelling on it was pointless. Knowing the outcome was good was enough. The most important thing now was to celebrate. He called the brothers together for this purpose; everything had been arranged, and now was the right time for the five brothers to go and celebrate.
"That’s great! Let’s go celebrate!"
"Let’s go, let’s have a really good time today!"
"I wonder what kind of surprise Old Four has prepared for us!"
"On such a happy occasion today, we must drink to our heart’s content!"
...
The four brothers, hearing Old Four speak this way, understood his intention. The matter was already past, and there was no sense in getting caught up in those details. It was enough to know that the result was good; what they should do now was to celebrate, to rejoice in the gains of this incident!
The windfall was indeed abundant, beyond what they had ever expected. Although these people were not short of money, who would mind having more? Such a fortunate event where their capital had multiplied several times over left them wishing for several more such opportunities!
However, they understood that such an event was unlikely to happen again. Only the Cloud Fund had such substantial capital for them to share, and with the Cloud Fund now gone, they could not hope for such wealth again even if they wanted to!
So, of course, they were determined to enjoy themselves thoroughly. It was already rare for the brothers to gather, and coupled with such good fortune, it was truly a delightfully exhilarating event...
