Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Fifth Master always thought he knew Meng Chuan inside and out.

But this time, he realized he was wrong.

Meng Chuan's assets in China remained unchanged, but he suddenly went to invest in the UK and was swindled out of tens of billions of pounds.

Where did this money come from?

Fifth Master couldn't understand it.

At this moment, he was even more anxious than Meng Chuan.

"I recently attended the World Economic Forum in the UK..."

Meng Chuan told Fifth Master the whole story.

Of course, Meng Chuan didn't mention the private deal between Meng Chuan and Aoli.

The more Fifth Master listened, the more alarmed he became, and he looked at Meng Chuan as if he were looking at a monster.

He simply couldn't understand where this young man got his courage and confidence from.

They actually dared to try and get something for nothing, going to England to borrow money from Ollie, and actually managed to borrow 100 billion pounds!

What shocked him even more was that Meng Chuan had single-handedly stirred up a bloodbath in the British stock market and profited handsomely from it.

It's worth noting that many of the world's most famous conglomerate families have accumulated only a few billion US dollars in wealth over several generations.

For example, the Kennedy family's assets in 2014 were only $20 billion.

The Clinton family's assets are only around tens of billions of dollars.

Meng Chuan, in just one month, amassed a fortune in the British stock market that far exceeded that of these families.

"Are you... sure you came to see me tonight, not to Versailles?"

It took Fifth Master a long time to calm himself down before he asked in a deep voice.

"What the hell!"

Meng Chuan smiled wryly:

"I want to transfer the money back to China, but all the money I've earned is tied up. There's very little money I can transfer back to China."

The money in the stock market hasn't been settled yet.

But Meng Chuan was certain that there were very few left.

With the stock market crash of 2015 looming, Meng Chuan was simply unable to cope without sufficient funds.

He originally thought he could make a fortune this time, but the ending was full of twists and turns, and he ended up with nothing to show for his efforts.

Why are you so insistent on transferring the money back to China?

Fifth Master looked at Meng Chuan with a puzzled expression.

In Fifth Master's opinion, Meng Chuan is not short of money in the country.

Buying a company in the UK to diversify investments is a wise move.

"Fifth Master, I have a reason I cannot tell you."

Meng Chuan hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"But I need money, I need a lot of money."

There are some things Meng Chuan can't say too clearly.

First of all, there are some things that Fifth Master might not believe if I told him.

Secondly, Meng Chuan could not fully trust Fifth Master.

Meng Chuan's visit to Fifth Master tonight was purely a desperate attempt to find a cure.

"Fine, since you're not going to tell me, then I won't ask anymore."

Fifth Master frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Actually, it's not hard for you to get money. You can buy 02 Company first; it has potential and prospects."

"After you buy it, you can immediately delist and restructure it. I can send a professional broker to help you manage it."

"Then change the name and reapply for listing. It can be done in as little as three to five months."

"After the company goes public, you issue more shares to cash out, and then invest in domestic companies in the company's name. Wouldn't that bring the money back?"

"China is currently making great efforts to attract foreign investment. If you invest as a foreign investor, you can also enjoy tax breaks."

Fifth Master's words were like a wake-up call, instantly opening the door to a new world for Meng Chuan.

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that?"

Meng Chuan slapped his thigh hard, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed instantly.

He looked at Fifth Master in surprise, never expecting that this gangster boss would have such brilliant business acumen.

The money is still there, it's just taking a little longer to come back.

Meng Chuan could afford to wait three to five months.

"Fifth Master, who are you planning to send? Can you trust them?"

After the initial excitement, Meng Chuan asked excitedly.

After all, Company 02 is a large company, and who to send to manage it is a crucial question.

It's not impossible that we might end up doing all the work for someone else.

This is also one of the reasons why Meng Chuan did not want to buy 02 Company.

"No need to send anyone. I have some old buddies over there. I'll have him contact you. If you have any questions, just go directly to him."

Fifth Master said calmly.

"This……"

Meng Chuan hesitated for a moment, clearly having some concerns about Fifth Master's arrangements.

“Show him the ring on your hand, and he’ll know what to do.”

Fifth Master noticed Meng Chuan's worry and added.

Meng Chuan looked down at the ring in his hand and couldn't help but ask:

"Fifth Master, what exactly is your identity? And does this ring really have such great power?"

He simply couldn't understand what was so special about this seemingly ordinary thumb ring.

"When it's time for you to know, you will naturally know."

Fifth Master waved his hand, clearly somewhat tired.

Although Meng Chuan still had a lot of questions, he held back and got up to say goodbye and leave.

After Meng Chuan left, Fifth Master did not rush back to rest.

He held the hot tea in his hand, pondered for a long time, and seemed to be talking to himself:

"This little thing really exceeded my expectations and gave me a big surprise."

"Fifth Master, the young master is both brave and resourceful, truly a genius. You have not made the wrong choice."

The old man beside Fifth Master said softly.

"Ok?"

Fifth Master looked up at the old man in surprise:

"You actually called him 'Young Master'? You accept him?"

"This old servant trusts Fifth Master's judgment. Moreover, the Green Gang may truly flourish under his leadership."

The old man answered respectfully.

"Hopefully."

Fifth Master sighed and slowly said:

"He has the ability, but we need to assess him further."

Fifth Master paused for a moment, then continued:

"Go, contact the branch in England and have them investigate whether what he said is true, and what kind of deal he made with Ollie. If possible, I'd like to know why he needs so much money."

Fifth Master was filled with curiosity about Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan only said that Ollie lent him 100 billion pounds, but Ollie is no fool.

Even if Fifth Master personally intervened, it would be impossible to get 100 billion from him without giving him enough benefits.

But Meng Chuan actually did it.

Moreover, Meng Chuan already has considerable assets in China, so why does he need so much money?

Meng Chuan may not say anything, and Fifth Master may not ask, but he cannot fail to investigate.

"Yes, Fifth Master!"

The old man turned and left.

At this moment, Meng Chuan was in a great mood after leaving the Blackman Bar.

He was sitting in the car when he suddenly said to Yingdie, who was driving:

"Shadow Butterfly, do you want to resolve your identity issue?"

"Identity issue?"

Yingdie glanced at Meng Chuan suspiciously.

"It's complicated and troublesome to register your household in China."

Meng Chuan explained:

"But it shouldn't be difficult to arrange British citizenship for you. That way you can live an open and honest life from now on."

Yingdie's identity has always been a hidden danger, especially since she has served as Meng Chuan's driver for a long time.

If you ever run into a traffic police checkpoint, it will eventually be a big problem.

"Actually, for me, having an identity or not is not important."

Yingdie was somewhat moved, but still whispered.

"Shadow Butterfly, I've told you before, you're human too. Don't let yourself live in darkness forever; life under the sun is actually more beautiful."

Yingdie fell silent.

She was driving with her eyes fixed straight ahead, but it wasn't hard to tell if you looked closely.

A tear welled up in Yingdie's eye...
