Chapter 1975 Lu Cheng's God-like Operation

Canghai shook his head: "Do you think we're idiots?!"

Ah Hu muttered, "You idiots are stabbing each other... We didn't stab each other back then."

Enraged, Canghai stood up abruptly: "You son of a bitch, come here! I'll fight you to the death!"

Lu Chengwen quickly reassured him, "Hey, hey, big brother, please sit down, please sit down first."

Lu Chengwen sighed: "I know about your situation, but you also know that I value brotherhood the most! I may be poor, but I'm poor with pride!"

Canghai and Cangyue exchanged a glance.

You're poor? What are we compared to you?!

At this time, the phone rang.

Jiang Shih-han leaned closer: "Huo Wen-ting."

Lu Chengwen tensed up: "Everyone, I'm going out to take this call."

Cang Yue suddenly stood up: "I'll take it right here!"

Although Canghai didn't understand what was going on, he quickly replied, "Yes! We'll pick it up here."

Lu Chengwen had no choice but to answer the call.

"Sister, is there something you need?"

Huo Wenting asked, "Are you going to take care of your brother or not?"

"What happened to him?"

"He gave President Tien Chu a terrible idea: to issue a new banknote, a zero-dollar note!"

"Zero yuan? Zero... what does that mean?"

"It's just a banknote, and its market value is zero!"

Lu Chengwen looked back at his subordinates, who were all dumbfounded.

Lu Chengwen asked, "It's been released? How much has been released?"

Huo Wenting shouted, "How many can we issue?! Zero yuan! Zero yuan! No matter how many we issue, it's all zero yuan!"

Lu Chengwen nodded, looking bewildered: "Oh, I see. So... what's the use of a zero-yuan coin? Isn't that a waste of paper, ink, and labor?!"

"It's incredibly useful! The entire financial market in Tianzhu is in chaos now! Your brother is making massive acquisitions, bankrupting many state-owned enterprises and even some private companies with his zero-yuan purchase scheme."

Lu Chengwen stood up, thinking for a moment as he spoke:

"Zero-dollar bills, combined with the power and political resources he holds... Holy crap..."

Huo Wenting said, "Now it's all good. Many criminals use it to launder money, some use it to resell money through banks, and some use it for shady transactions... The zero-dollar note is now being traded for two US dollars apiece!"

Lu Chengwen's head was buzzing.

This is a huge problem.

Because it's zero dollars, you have no idea how many were issued. Even if you print as many as you want, it's still zero dollars.

But when this weird thing flooded into the market, many things and trading rules changed.

When a banknote with a face value of zero actually possesses value, then all the balance of value will be tilted and distorted.

Those who accept bribes can claim they received zero yuan, which is worthless and equivalent to not receiving a single penny; many illegal transactions can be conducted underground using this currency, generating huge profits.

The masterminds behind the scenes, those who speculate on zero-yuan banknotes, must be Lu Chengwu and the financial tycoons behind him!

These bastards are stealing by trickery and force!

“I…I don’t know about this. He’s an independent individual. Actually, I’ve always suspected he’s not a member of the Lu family. When my parents were little, they passed by a trash can and heard noises coming from inside…”

"What's wrong with your parents when they were little?!" Huo Wenting was furious. "What's wrong with your family?! How did he come up with such a dirty trick? Lu Chengwen! He even wants to take over all my businesses in Tianzhu! Aren't you going to do anything about it?!"

Lu Chengwen sighed, "It's not a problem with his brain, Wenting, the issue is complicated. The leaders of Tianzhu who can accept his kind of proposal are devils. Lu Chengwu is just pandering to them. Any leader with a shred of decency would definitely not pay any attention to Lu Chengwu. This guy is toxic."

"Large numbers of businesses in Tianzhu went bankrupt, many people were driven to suicide by debt, unemployment soared, and millions of people chanted slogans in the streets..."

Lu Chengwen's head was buzzing: "I'll call him."

"He now possesses hundreds of billions of US dollars! He's already a world-class tycoon! Lu Chengwen, you have to take care of this!"

"Okay, okay, I'll take care of it."

"And what about the engagement? What have you thought about?"

"Tell me next time."

Lu Chengwen hung up the phone.

Canghai and Cangyue exchanged a glance.

The two of them always felt that they were of noble status, at the top of the world, and had seen many grand occasions and important figures.

However, Lu Chengwen broadened their horizons time and time again, opened their eyes, and even greatly shocked them.

It turns out that the world doesn't revolve around ancient martial arts practitioners; many people in their respective fields are... giving their opinions and shaking the world.

Lu Chengwen hung up the phone and sat there in a daze.

Jiang Shihhan leaned closer to him: "President Lu? Should we call Cheng Wu and ask?"

Lu Chengwen looked up at her: "What should I ask? Two days ago he was still on the ship, two days... no... he had already made his move. It just exploded in the last two days. He remotely controlled the short selling and destabilized a country. Now his total assets are several times mine, what can I say to him? Will he still listen to me?"

"Isn't he your brother?"

"He's my dad!"

Lu Chengwen roared, "That bastard! He made hundreds of billions of dollars and still complains to me about being poor, and he even came here to mess with me... He's fucking..."

Lu Chengwen was so angry that he saw stars.

Canghai and Cangyue quickly tried to appease them:

"President Lu, please take care!"

"Yeah, yeah, we're brothers, let's talk it out."

"Zero yuan, how about we get some too?"

How many?

"How about...zero yuan?"

Lu Chengwen looked at the two of them, and they quickly shut up.

Lu Chengwen didn't want to get entangled with them anymore.

"I'll personally sponsor you with twenty million US dollars. You'll have to go back and report. You two will leave together! Together! Do you understand?!"

The two nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, definitely."

"No brothers allowed to sabotage each other, no brothers allowed to turn against each other, no brothers allowed to betray each other... Just go back safely with the money and report back. Okay?"

"Okay, okay, we'll listen to you. Oh, Mr. Lu, you're so generous!"

Lu Chengwen said, "I've suffered a huge loss this time. Just remember this favor I did for you."

"No problem, no problem, we'll each carry one suitcase and go back together! Perfect!"

"Absolutely foolproof..."

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth and dialed: "Jiang Shihhan, take them to get the money and send them away!"

I answered the phone angrily as soon as it connected.

"Brother! You missed me too?"

Lu Chengwen cursed, "Lu Chengwu! You bastard! You tricked the president into issuing zero-dollar currency! How could you come up with such a despicable idea?! Now Tianzhu has become a laughing stock all over the world! Do you know how many people you'll kill? This is incredibly immoral! You've lost all sense of shame when you're making money! Don't ever say you're my brother again! I'm severing all ties with you!"

Lu Chengwu calmly said, "Brother, I heard you're a bit short on funds? I'll transfer you five billion US dollars to ease the burden."

"what?"

Lu Chengwen, panting, said, "Uh... I... um... just..."
