Chapter 67: The Macau Tycoon Wants In Too!
As Chen Hao stepped into Cheng Yutong's office, a familiar face came into view!
This person was none other than Stanley Ho, the Casino King of Macau!
He had never expected that the person Cheng Yutong mentioned wanting to meet him would be the legendary gambling tycoon himself.
At that moment, Stanley Ho's gaze fell upon Chen Hao and Nina.
However, Stanley's eyes quickly locked onto Nina, leaving him utterly spellbound!
Stanley was completely mesmerized by Nina's angelic face!
Seeing Stanley's lovestruck expression, Chen Hao could not help but roll his eyes inwardly.
This old lecher was truly still the same as ever; the moment he laid eyes on Nina, he lost his soul completely!
In Chen Hao's past life, a romantic rumor had once circulated between Nina and Stanley Ho.
Media reports claimed that had it not been for the fierce opposition from Stanley's several wives, Nina might have very well ended up marrying him!
However, now that Nina had become Chen Hao's girlfriend, such rumors would never see the light of day again.
"Xiao Chen, this is Mr. Ho, the Gambling King of Macau!"
"It was Mr. Ho who wanted to meet you," Cheng Yutong gestured toward Stanley Ho and introduced him to Chen Hao.
Following that, Cheng Yutong pointed at Chen Hao and introduced him to Stanley: "Old Ho, this is the new generation of Hong Kong's Stock God, Chen Hao, whom I mentioned to you earlier!"
"Hello, Mr. Ho, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Chen Hao extended his right hand toward Stanley and greeted him with a polite smile.
Only then did Stanley tear his gaze away from Nina and shift it to Chen Hao.
"So you are the young man recently crowned by everyone as the new generation's Stock God of Hong Kong, Chen Hao?"
"Truly young and promising!" Stanley chuckled, reaching out to shake Chen Hao's hand.
"Mr. Ho flatters me too much," Chen Hao replied with a modest smile.
"If I'm not mistaken, this young lady must be last year's Miss Asia winner, Miss Nina, right?"
Stanley's infatuated gaze drifted right back to Nina.
"That's right, she is Nina!"
"She is my girlfriend!"
Before Nina could even respond, Chen Hao preemptively answered on her behalf.
Moreover, he deliberately emphasized that Nina was his girlfriend to ensure Stanley completely extinguished any improper thoughts he might harbor toward her.
"Miss Nina is actually your girlfriend?"
Stanley froze for a moment, a flicker of undisguised disappointment flashing across his eyes.
He had never imagined that such a stunning blossom already had an owner.
"Yes, Mr. Ho, I am Chen Hao's girlfriend!"
Hearing Chen Hao openly acknowledge her status as his girlfriend in front of an outsider, Nina felt a wave of sweet warmth wash over her heart!
"Haha!"
"You two are a handsome man and a stunning woman—truly a match made in heaven!"
Stanley chuckled.
Although he was fond of beauty, he had no interest in women who were already taken.
Besides, he had far more important business to attend to with Chen Hao this time.
He would never let a woman distract him from his proper agenda.
"Mr. Ho, you asked to see me—may I ask what this is about?" Chen Hao asked, cutting straight to the chase.
In truth, he had already roughly guessed Stanley's purpose.
He estimated that Stanley also wanted to join his bottom-fishing plan.
"Haha, we are all friends here, calling me Mr. Ho is far too formal!"
"I am a bit older than you; why don't you call me Uncle Ho, just like Old郑 does?"
"And I will call you Xiao Chen," Stanley said with a warm smile.
"I wouldn't dare refuse such an honor," Chen Hao smiled back.
"Xiao Chen, I heard that you and Old Zheng are planning to bottom-fish the British stock market?" Stanley looked at Chen Hao and asked.
"That's correct!"
Chen Hao nodded, then asked directly, "Does Uncle Ho want to join in as well?"
"Mmm!"
"I am indeed very interested in this matter!"
"I've also heard that your stock trading skills are formidable."
"Especially your recent bottom-fishing maneuver with Old Li's Cheung Kong Holdings—it was brilliantly executed!" Stanley said with genuine admiration.
He had long since heard tales of Chen Hao's remarkable trading records.
Today, he had accidentally learned from Cheng Yutong that Chen Hao was predicting a collapse of the British stock market and was preparing to buy at the bottom.
When he first heard the news, he reacted just like Cheng Yutong and the others—feeling utterly shocked and finding it hard to believe that the British market would crash.
However, upon second thought, since the trading genius Chen Hao predicted a collapse, there was a very real possibility that the British stock market truly would plummet!
And as it happened, he had some idle capital on hand.
Therefore, he wanted to jump into Chen Hao's bottom-fishing scheme, which was why he had asked Cheng Yutong to summon Chen Hao here.
"Uncle Ho flatters me," Chen Hao replied modestly, before asking, "I wonder how much capital Uncle Ho intends to invest in my bottom-fishing plan?"
Having one more tycoon join his plan meant he could earn even more money.
Naturally, he welcomed it with open arms!
"6 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Stanley stated a figure without a moment's hesitation.
"6 billion?!"
Chen Hao and Nina exchanged glances, both seeing astonishment in each other's eyes.
Neither of them had expected Stanley to be willing to fork out a staggering 6 billion Hong Kong dollars!
"Thank you, Uncle Ho, for placing such trust in me!"
Chen Hao had not anticipated that on their very first meeting, Stanley would trust him to this extent and invest 6 billion Hong Kong dollars into his venture.
"Haha, I believe in your capabilities!" Stanley laughed heartily.
"Since Old Ho has such immense trust in Xiao Chen's abilities and is ready to put up 6 billion to support him!"
"I can't fall behind either!"
"How about this, Xiao Chen, I'll add another 1 billion!"
"I'll also bring my total to 6 billion to support your bottom-fishing plan!" Cheng Yutong smiled and said to Chen Hao.
"That's fantastic!"
"Thank you, Uncle Tong and Uncle Ho, for your support!" Chen Hao was overjoyed.
With Stanley's 6 billion, plus Cheng Yutong's additional 1 billion, the total capital he had raised for bottom-fishing the British and global stock markets now reached a massive 30 billion Hong Kong dollars!
"Xiao Chen, let me wish you great success in this bottom-fishing venture right here and now!" Stanley said with a smile.
"Xiao Chen, you mustn't let down our expectations of you!" Cheng Yutong laughed.
"Uncle Tong, Uncle Ho, please rest assured!"
"I will definitely not disappoint you!" Chen Hao said with a solemn and earnest expression.
"When do you plan to set off for Britain?" Cheng Yutong asked.
"As soon as all your funds are fully gathered, I will leave for Britain immediately," Chen Hao replied without hesitation.
"My funds should be completely gathered by tomorrow," Cheng Yutong stated.
"Haha, my capital can be pooled together at any time!" Stanley chuckled.
Following that, Chen Hao contacted Kwok Tak-seng and Wong Kau, both of whom confirmed they would have all their funds ready by tomorrow.
Consequently, Chen Hao decided to set off for Britain the very next day.
