Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon
Chapter 44 Winner Takes All (Author's Peak Competition, Please Donate)
Meng Chuan was so angry with Sun Dashan that he almost threw up.
According to his theory, a man who can't come up with a million dollars shouldn't be alive.
Conservative estimates suggest that 99 percent of the men in the world will die.
He really gets cocky as soon as he has a little money.
"One million is too little, it's meaningless. If we're going to compare, let's compare a small goal."
Meng Chuan couldn't stand Sun Dashan's attitude.
If we're going to compete on who has more money, let's compete on who's more ruthless.
"A small goal? How much is that?"
Sun Dashan was taken aback.
Meng Chuan suddenly realized.
The "small goal" meme only emerged in 2016.
In 2014, nobody knows what a small goal is!
"One hundred million. If you can come up with that, then compete. If you can't, then get the hell out of here."
Meng Chuan explained.
Upon hearing this, many people around gasped in shock.
This is Guomao 79.
Those who can afford to eat here are all either very rich or very powerful.
Sun Dashan's shouting had already attracted a lot of attention.
At this moment, Meng Chuan announced a bet of 100 million yuan, which shocked many people around him, who stood up.
At the same time, everyone was curious.
Who is this young man?
He looks quite young, yet he casually mentioned a hundred million; what a generous offer!
Sun Dashan was also taken aback, but then he laughed.
"Kid, if you're afraid to gamble, just say so. A hundred million? Can you come up with that?"
Sun Dashan didn't believe that Meng Chuan, at such a young age, could come up with 100 million yuan.
Even among CEOs of listed companies, those with 100 million yuan in their private accounts are extremely rare.
Even if Meng Chuan comes from a large family, considering his current age...
It's absolutely impossible to just casually use 100 million.
The only ones who weren't surprised were Chen Yiyi and Liu Qian.
It might seem unbelievable to others to say that one hundred million is a lot to do.
But for Meng Chuan, he had just casually invested 100 billion!
A mere 100 million is just small change.
"If you can produce it, the bet is settled; if I can't, then I lose."
Meng Chuan had no concept of the Dao.
"Okay, I'll bet with you."
Sun Dashan pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said:
"It's just one hundred million? I'll show you that I'm not just a figurehead as the head of Sidu Trading Company in China. The funds I can mobilize are beyond your imagination."
"Qian'er, let me show you that following me is your best choice, instead of following some ignorant brat."
It's clear that Sun Dashan is very satisfied with his title.
He constantly mentioned that he was the person in charge of Sidu Trading in China.
"Wait, you just said you're from Sidu Trading Company?"
Meng Chuan suddenly realized what was happening and asked to confirm.
"That's right. If you know anything about finance, you should have heard of this company. Its parent company handles no less than $4500 billion in stock transactions every day in the United States. It's also number one in the trading of US Treasury bonds."
Sun Dashan said proudly.
He was proud to be the head of this company in China.
He has even gained more influence within the family recently.
"I see, I have indeed heard of that."
Meng Chuan nodded knowingly.
But what no one noticed was that a cold glint flashed in Meng Chuan's eyes at that moment.
Meng Chuan didn't react at first, after all, he didn't really know much about stock trading.
Meng Chuan's stock trading success was entirely due to his photographic memory.
I will never forget the news I saw in my past life.
With a little effort, Meng Chuan would be familiar with this Sidu Trading Company.
Meng Chuan experienced the 2015 stock market storm in his dream.
The stock market crash of 2015 had such a huge impact that even ordinary people who don't trade stocks have heard about it to some extent.
The name Sidu Trading has been mentioned many times by news media, especially by social media.
It's June 2014 now, and 2015 is just a few months away.
In 2015, the largest stock market crash in the country occurred.
The reason is that foreign investors want to short the Chinese stock market.
This was led by Sidu Trading Company.
Even the head of their parent company personally came forward and made many remarks that were detrimental to the Chinese stock market.
At the same time, it holds a large number of short positions in the stock index futures market.
Making huge profits when the stock market falls by selling stock index futures contracts.
This further triggered panic in the stock market, causing stock prices to plummet.
Many people lost everything as a result and were driven to the rooftop.
In the end, it was the central bank that intervened and forcibly rescued the market to stabilize the situation.
Even so, the A-share market still lost more than 25 trillion yuan in funds in 2015.
It's worth noting that in 2015, China's GDP was only 68 trillion yuan.
This demonstrates the immense damage the 2015 stock market crash inflicted on the Chinese stock market and, more importantly, the national economy.
And the main culprit behind all of this is undoubtedly Sidu Company.
They are truly demons who profit from bloodshed.
Since Sun Dashan is the head of Sidu Trading in China, he is absolutely unforgivable for this stock market crash.
"Alright, since you can come up with 100 million, let's add a little more prize! Winner takes all."
Meng Chuan said coldly.
"Winner takes all? What does that mean?"
Sun Dashan asked, puzzled.
"We'll each put in 100 million, and regardless of profit or loss, the loser will give all the money in their account to the winner. Are you in?
Meng Chuan didn't care about winning or losing a hundred million or two.
Meng Chuan was happy to see Sun Dashan learn a lesson.
"This……"
Sun Dashan hesitated.
He definitely can't come up with 100 million in cash to gamble.
However, as the person in charge, he could still manage to access 100 million yuan of the company's funds.
With his abilities, even if he invested 100 million in stocks, the profit or loss wouldn't be significant.
Even if he loses millions, he can make up for it himself.
In this way, no one will know.
But if it's a winner-takes-all scenario, and he loses, then that 100 million will be Meng Chuan's.
Therefore, he would need his family's help to make up for the 100 million yuan deficit.
Otherwise, embezzling public funds could not only damage one's work, but also land one in jail.
"Although I shouldn't use Qian'er as a wager, I'll make a bet with you so that you won't bother her in the future."
"What? You're a PhD in finance and the head of Sidu, you can't even afford to lose 100 million? If that's the case, what right do you have to compete with me for Qian'er?"
Seeing Sun Dashan hesitate, Meng Chuan sneered and provoked him.
Sun Dashan knew perfectly well that this was Meng Chuan's provocation, but he still fell for it.
"What's there to be afraid of? Come on, waiter, get me two laptops."
Sun Dashan shouted.
In upscale Western restaurants like China World Trade Center 79, the service is comparable to that in first class.
It is possible for customers to use two computers.
After the waiter consulted the manager, two laptops were quickly delivered to Meng Chuan's table.
Faced with this bet worth hundreds of millions, many people at the scene gathered around.
When should you not eat steak?
A bet of over 100 million is quite rare!
"Wait, what if the loser changes their mind?"
Sun Dashan suddenly asked.
He was very confident in what he had learned.
But 100 million is no small sum of money.
If the winner-takes-all agreement is just a verbal one, it may not hold true in the end!
Meng Chuan was also somewhat perplexed.
Stock trading accounts are not like bank cards without passwords.
If the loser reneges and refuses to comply, even going to the police won't help.
“If you two trust me, then use my account! You transfer all the money to my account, and I will act as the notary.”
However, just as Meng Chuan and his companion were struggling with their dilemma, a delicate voice suddenly rang out.
