Chapter 157 The French Rose's Request

Fast forward to the end of September.

"Quick, Chen, do the math, how much profit did we make?"

Walid urged Lu Qing impatiently.

Just today, Lu Qing finally returned all the last sterling short to the relevant institutions.

This time, a total of 150 billion U.S. dollars in short-selling operations can be regarded as a complete end.

Although a few days ago when the British government announced that the British pound would no longer implement the fixed exchange rate system and completely withdraw from the ERM, the result was already foreseen, but making money is the most important thing in the end.

Although Lu Qing already knew the answer through system simulation, he still gathered it under Walid's urging.

A few minutes later, he smiled at Walid:
"We used a total of 150 billion U.S. dollars in this operation, from shorting the lira to the British pound, and then going long on interest rate futures... The total net profit is 200 billion, of which, Your Royal Highness, you invested 30 billion, so you can share-- $40 billion."

"$40 billion?"

Hearing this number, Walid's eyes widened, and his face flushed instantly.

Earn $40 billion in one month!
Even in his capacity as Prince Walid Saud, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After all, he earned the 40 billion for nothing, which is equivalent to picking it up for nothing, and it is far more exciting than earning real money.

"Chen, thank you!"

Prince Walid grabbed Lu Qing's hand and shook it excitedly, thanking him again and again: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to witness how you beat the Bank of England's excitement, not to mention earning me 40 billion U.S. dollars !"

"Walid, in your words, I am your friend, and there is no need to be so polite between friends."

Lu Qing said with a smile.

As the contact time with Waleed got longer, Lu Qing had discovered that, apart from his unsteady personality and occasional disconnection, Waleed's nature was still good, and he was willing to make friends with such a person.

"That's right, Chen, you're right, we're friends, don't say anything out of the ordinary!"

Waleed gave Lu Qing a hug.

At this time, he glanced at the TV and saw media reporters interviewing Soros of Quantum Fund.

"It's this guy who shamelessly took the reputation of defeating the Bank of England on his head. It's really disgusting!"

Walid said contemptuously: "The most important thing is that according to media reports, his Quantum Fund has only made a total of 30 billion US dollars, which is not as much as I have earned, let alone compared with you Chen. It said that he defeated England alone, Chen, he completely took away your reputation!"

"Haha, my friend, it doesn't have to be like this. Isn't it good to make a fortune in silence?"

Lu Qing smiled, saying that he didn't care about these false names.

His fame only needs to be enough in South Korea.

"Hey, you are good at everything, but you are too cautious. What's the point of living like this?"

Walid shook his head.

As a Saudi prince, he has long been accustomed to acting in a public manner, but he doesn't care about those - at a banquet a few days ago, he told about his shorting of the British pound.

Of course, he didn't mention Lu Qing's name, let alone say that this matter was led by Lu Qing.

Lu Qing smiled slightly without explaining too much.

"By the way, Chen, although it's a bit outlandish to say this, I can't ask my friend to help me in vain."

Walid suddenly thought of something, and said, "It just so happens that these two days are the London Boat Show, come on, I'll buy a yacht for you!"

"yacht?"

Lu Qing froze for a moment, waved his hand and refused: "No, Waleed, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Walid interrupted him seriously: "Hey, Chen, we are friends, aren't we? If a friend helps you, but you don't show it at all, do you think it's appropriate?"

"This...Okay, but you must not buy too expensive ones, otherwise I won't ask for it."

Seeing Waleed's insistence, Lu Qing had no choice but to agree.

"Don't worry, I can't afford the expensive ones."

Walid smiled and put his arms around Lu Qing's shoulders, and drove to the yacht exhibition together.

……

Soon, the two came to the London Yacht Show.

I saw that the banks of the Thames River have been occupied by all kinds of yachts, row upon row, shining brightly in the sun.

As soon as they got out of the car, a man in casual clothes greeted them with a smile.

"His Royal Highness Prince Walid, Director Chen Daojun, welcome!"

"Who is this……"

Lu Qing was a little strange.

"Chen, let me introduce you. This is the manager of Heesen Yachting Company in the Netherlands, De Vry. I bought my last yacht from him, and it feels pretty good."

Walid introduced Lu Qing.

After the two parties met, De Vry enthusiastically greeted Lu Qing and the two of them to the front of the yacht displayed on the sidelines.

"Prince Waleed, Director Chen Daojun, please take a look, the three yachts in front of you are our company's newly designed yachts..."

Before De Vry finished speaking, he was interrupted by Walid directly: "No, no, no, De Vri, these three ships are too small, I want a bigger one, preferably 50 meters, understand? "

Hearing this, De Vry's eyes lit up immediately.

A 50-meter-long yacht is worth tens of millions of dollars!
Coupled with hard and soft decoration, 2000 million is not impossible.

Thinking of this, the smile on De Vry's face became more and more sincere: "It's my fault, please follow me, and I will introduce to you the top design products of our company!"

Lu Qing didn't follow immediately, and whispered: "Waled, you don't need to buy expensive ones..."

Naturally, he could see the change in De Vry's expression just now, and knew that this was the standard expression of a big dog who wanted to kill a dog.

"It's not expensive, you just come with me."

Walid didn't care at all, and followed up first.

Lu Qing was helpless, thinking that he didn't pay for it himself anyway, so he went.

Afterwards, the group turned a few turns and came to another area where yachts were relatively sparse. The length of yachts here is generally much longer, and they are all three or four-story structures, but they look very atmospheric.

At this moment, Lu Qing's eyes suddenly paused, and he looked at the yacht beside him.

There, Sophie Marceau, wearing a floral dress, was lying on the railing of the yacht chatting with friends.

The breeze blows, the skirt flutters, and the white jade-like legs are looming. At the same time, the skirt is close to the body, fully showing the outline of her exquisite curves.

Seemingly noticing Lu Qing's eyes, Sophie Marceau also looked at him.

After seeing Lu Qing, Sophie Marceau was obviously taken aback, then smiled and waved:

"Hey Chen!"

Her voice immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her.

Lu Qing didn't expect that Sophie Marceau, as a big star, would greet him so openly.

But of course he didn't care about these things, he also waved in response, and then made a gesture to ask himself if it was convenient for him to go over.

——Compared to picking a yacht, chatting with beautiful women is of course more important.

Sophie Marceau nodded with a smile, then said yes to her friend, and quickly got off the yacht to meet Lu Qing.

Seeing this, Lu Qing wondered, knowing that last time he and Sophie Marceau separated, it wasn't very harmonious, why today Sophie Marceau acted like an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years?
There was doubt in his heart, but Lu Qing didn't show anything on his face.

When he came to the gangway of the yacht, Sophie Marceau just came down.

"Hi Chen, long time no see!"

She smiled and opened her arms, gave Lu Qing a look, and hugged Lu Qing together.

"Yeah, long time no see."

Lu Qing hugged her cooperatively.

Then, Sophie Marceau whispered quickly in her ear: "Chen, help me deal with those boring people, and I'll give you my contact information, how about it?"

Lu Qing blinked.

I am familiar with this plot routine, it is common in urban novels.

but,

Who told her to be Sophie Marceau, Lu Qing really has no reason to refuse——

"Add another meal tonight."

Sophie Marceau couldn't help being startled, she didn't seem to expect that Lu Qing would take the opportunity to increase the price, but she reacted quickly:

"make a deal!"
