After losing a trillion bets on the aircraft carrier, Xu Taiping's 500 billion went down the drain.
These 500 billion were almost all that Xu Taiping had, including the 500 billion from the bank.
That is to say, the current Xu Taiping really had 40 billion in assets. Because of the 50 billion he had at the bank, he was no longer able to earn that much money from the plan he had invested.
"Boss Xu, I'm sorry." Liu Hao said.
"I'm fine." Xu Taiping said, "Isn't that the worst thing about it? Perhaps, the rebel army was soon annihilated. "
"I hope so too. Now we can only wait. "When the government army from the energy nation is ready to respond, if they can turn the tide of the battle, then we still have hope." Liu Hao said.
"Then let's wait. If the heavens can't fall down then I've already lost 1 trillion, there's no need for 500 million. Oh right, where is that economic summit held?" Xu Taiping asked.
"At the Jiangyuan Exhibition Center. The opening ceremony will be at 9 AM in the morning. Boss Xu, since you're a beauty cut guest, it's almost 8: 30 AM." Liu Hao said.
"Alright, I'll get the driver to take me there later." Xu Taiping said.
"Then I'll wait for you at the exhibition center." Liu Hao said.
"Alright!"
After hanging up, Xu Taiping returned to the restaurant.
"What's wrong?" Song Jia asked.
"Nothing, you guys eat first, I'm going to a meeting." Xu Taiping said.
"The news that was shown on the television just now seems to be a coup by some energy nation? I think you invested in a big project in the energy country, right? " Song Jia asked.
"You don't have to worry about business matters." Xu Taiping patted Song Jia's head with a smile, then pinched Emma's face.
"I'm leaving." Xu Taiping turned and walked out.
Outside the villa, Tie Shan drove Xu Taiping's Maybach and waited at the door.
Xu Taiping got into the car and said, "To the exhibition center."
"Alright, boss!"
The car drove all the way to the exhibition center.
On the way, Xu Taiping's phone rang. It was Zhao Taiheng.
"I just watched the news. The Energy Country is in a coup!" Zhao Taiheng said.
"I know." Xu Taiping nodded.
"I saw the news previously. Your company signed an energy project with the energy nation. It seems like several hundred billion has already been invested in it. What's the situation now?" Zhao Taiheng asked.
"It seems like we have wasted our efforts. 500 billion is a huge amount of money and it will all depend on whether the government forces of the country of energy can handle it or not." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Then your current economic situation … It shouldn't be too good, right? "First 1 trillion, then 500 billion, and then red packets were sent to the entire country." Zhao Taiheng said.
"I'm fine, I owe the bank 50 billion." Xu Taiping said.
On the other end, Zhao Taiheng remained silent for a long time. Then, Zhao Taiheng said, "You're the fastest person I've ever met to spend the money, 2 trillion, and it's all spent in less than a year."
"Hahaha, are you praising me?" Xu Taiping laughed.
"That's not it. I'm just expressing my surprise. There's something I need to do in the morning, so I'm going. Let's do it this way first." Zhao Taiheng said.
"Alright, let's talk later!" Xu Taiping hung up.
Xu Taiping arrived at the exhibition center of Jiang Yuan City.
From far away, Xu Taiping could see that there were a lot of people at the entrance of the exhibition center.
Tie Shan parked the car beside the exhibition center.
"Is it okay if I wear it like this?" Xu Taiping asked as he adjusted his suit.
"Very handsome." Tie Shan nodded seriously.
Xu Taiping laughed, then opened the door and got out of the car, walking towards the wall where the summit was held.
"Boss Xu!" Liu Hao's voice came from the front of Xu Taiping.
"You came rather early." Xu Taiping laughed.
"Don't come earlier." As Liu Hao said this, he walked to Xu Taiping's side and said, "Boss Xu, let's go. Let's go sign over there and then it'll be the opening of the summit."
"I'm going up to cut the ribbon?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes, it was arranged by the organizing committee." Liu Hao nodded.
"Alright, then let's go cut a ribbon." Xu Taiping said and followed Liu Hao to the wall. After signing their names, the two walked into a meeting room.
There were already a lot of people in the meeting room. These were all the big shots in the Chinese shopping mall. All of them were in suits, and had an extraordinary bearing.
Xu Taiping's appearance caused quite a stir. After all, this man was once the richest man in China.
Many people were looking at Xu Taiping, but no one came forward to talk to him.
"Boss Xu, in a while, it will be an economic discussion forum. As for you, you'll be a guest. There'll be a seat arranged for you on the stage. You can just sit there when the time comes." Liu Hao said.
"En!" Xu Taiping nodded, "But I don't know anything, and there's nothing to say up there right?"
"Just go up and have a chat. They'll be here in about ten minutes. The rest of us are like you. We'll go up and have a chat. Who the hell is the boss that can come up with something big?" Only when all of you come down will the professionals come up on stage and talk about professional stuff. " Liu Hao said.
"That's fine!" Xu Taiping nodded.
At this moment, a clamor came from the entrance of the meeting room.
Xu Taiping looked towards the door and saw an old acquaintance walking in with a group of people.
This person was none other than the Nangong Imperial Clan's Clan Chief, the Nangong Imperial Clan's Azure Dragon.
When the Nangong Azure Dragon appeared, many people in the venue surrounded it like flies seeing sh * t.
The Azure Dragon Nangong smiled and greeted the people around him, his eyes looking around from time to time. After a while, the Azure Dragon Nangong saw Xu Taiping, so he walked towards him.
"Boss Xu, I heard you lost another 500 billion this morning?" The Azure Dragon Nangong asked with a smile.
"Boss Nangong is truly well-informed. If we don't lose much, we will only lose out on a Nangong Clan." Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Director Xu is truly a capable man. First, you lose one trillion, then you lose 500 billion. With such a loss, who knows how many more rich men will appear on Forbes' rich list this year. Boss Xu, your self-sacrifice is worth us learning!" The Nangong Azure Dragon smiled.
"The Old Ancestor once said that he would let some people get rich first. These rich people would help others get rich, and in the end, they would get rich together. What I did was what the Old Ancestor said, that you really had to learn!" Xu Taiping nodded.
"Hahaha, I can't learn it. The tuition fees are very high. I heard that Boss Xu still owes the bank five billion? "Boss Xu, do you want me to lend you five billion in private so that you can flatten the bank account first? Otherwise, if the child gets on Old Lai's list, then his civil servant examinations will be affected in the future. I heard that your son has just reached the full moon, you'd better consider it properly for your son!" The Nangong Azure Dragon said.
"There's no need for Boss Nangong to worry. Since the money from the bank has expired, I will naturally pay it back." Xu Taiping said.
"Is that so? "Then I'll wait and see." As the Azure Dragon Nangong said this, he laughed and walked towards the front of the meeting room.
"Damn, he came out now. A month ago, he was just a chicken." Liu Hao said angrily.
"Don't worry. There are so many of these people these days. I have an old grudge with the Nangong Family. It wasn't easy for him to seize the opportunity for me to fall into poverty, so he naturally wouldn't let it go." Xu Taiping said.
"Sigh, it's all my fault." Liu Hao said guiltily.
"How can this be blamed on you? Who would have thought that the energy empire would suddenly go on a coup? "Relax, no one can take away my money, Yi Bo Corporation can't take it away, and neither can the Rebels of the Energy Country." Xu Taiping said coldly.
"Do you have any other ideas?" Liu Hao asked in surprise.
"There's no other way, but isn't it always the way of people?" Just because there's no other way now doesn't mean there's no other way in the future. Xu Taiping said.
"En!" The current Taiya Group was far from being as simple as losing 500 billion. The coup in the energy country had caused 500 billion to go down the drain, which directly affected the share prices of the listed companies controlled by the Taiya Group. After today's opening, all of the Taiya Group's majority of the listed companies had become green, and the Taiya Group's market value had been reduced by at least 8%. The Taiya Group's situation was much worse than what Liu Hao said it would be.
Not long after, the ribbon cutting ceremony began.
Under the guidance of the staff member, Xu Taiping walked to the side of the stage.
Several ceremonial ladies brought the ribbons to the stage, after which, a host at the scene successively invited the ribbon cutting guests onto the stage.
The first person to go on stage was Nangong Azure Dragon.
As the patriarch of the Nangong Family, the Azure Dragon Nangong had a huge influence in the business world, he was known as the hidden richest man in China.
Of course, when Xu Taiping had more than a trillion, the Azure Dragon Nangong did not have that title.
After that, the host called out a few more names.
One by one, the business leaders walked up to the stage and lined up in the middle. Not long after, there were people standing behind the long ribbons.
"Next, let us invite the Taiya Group's boss, Xu Taiping, Boss Xu, onto the stage." At this time, the host called out Xu Taiping's name.
Then, Xu Taiping walked up the stage, standing at the edge.
Due to the large number of people, Xu Taiping stood at the side of the stage, and in front of him, it looked just like a ribbon in front of him.
The staff gave each of them a knife.
Xu Taiping held the sharp knife and looked at the ribbon on his tail. He smiled but didn't say anything.
As the host announced the start of the summit, everyone picked up their knives and cut down on the ribbons.
Xu Taiping stood at the very end and cut off the ribbon with his tail.
With a "kacha" sound, the ribbon cutting was completed and the summit began.
