Chapter 251: Chinese Chamber of Commerce's God of Wealth

At the same time, the Trading Room of the Xinghan Group was a completely different scene. Upon learning that Wilson's capital had been fully withdrawn, Lu Qingshan immediately ordered profit‑taking to begin. The entire Trading Room was filled with the joy of victory, every face beaming with excited smiles, and that feeling of going from hell to heaven sent everyone into a frenzy.

"Ye Ning, start to unwind positions gradually," Lu Qingshan said, standing before the massive electronic screen, watching the bright red numbers. His voice was calm and powerful, but his eyes flashed with a king's light, "Don't rush, take it slow, give the market a buffer period. We want to be a victorious winner with a grand vision."

Ye Ning nodded excitedly, her fingers flying over the keyboard: "Understood, boss! That old fox Wilson is completely finished this time! From now on, the Hong Kong Island financial world will no longer dare to look down on us Chinese!"

She gripped the mouse tightly, each click representing tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars of profit being credited. The thrill of harvesting money made her whole body tremble, more addictive than any other stimulus.

"Boss, these numbers are insane!" Zhang Qiming pointed at the screen, his voice trembling with excitement, "Every second we are making money! Every second several million Hong Kong dollars are being credited! I've been in finance for so many years and have never seen a scene like this!"

Lin Yuchen became even more ecstatic, gesturing wildly: "Boss, you are the pride of the Chinese! You have made all of us Chinese hold our heads high! Who will dare to say Chinese can't succeed after this?"

The atmosphere in the Trading Room grew increasingly heated, and several young traders even began discussing how many apartments this money could buy, how many generations of affluent life it could fund. That excitement made the whole office nearly boil over.

"Haha, my current dividends are enough to buy a small villa in the Mid‑Levels!" a trader calculated excitedly.

"A villa is nothing, I want to buy a yacht!" another trader laughed.

"You're all too petty, I'll follow the boss and go straight into real estate!"

Lu Qingshan watched his excited subordinates, yet his heart remained calm. He knew the significance of this victory far exceeded money itself; it was the first major triumph for Chinese in the Hong Kong Island financial market, and the first major blow to the absolute authority of the Yingzi Group.

In the following days, Xinghan Group began to unwind positions in an orderly manner. Those massive Short Selling contracts gradually turned into real cash, the numbers jumping wildly in the accounts. Every closed position thrilled the people in the Trading Room.

The Hang Seng Index also began a slow rebound, climbing from the low point of … point to … point. All Hong Kong Island investors let out a long sigh of relief; the roller‑coaster feeling finally ended. Yet they will never forget those thrilling days, nor forget that a Chinese young man named Lu Qingshan completely changed Hong Kong Island's financial landscape.

Major media outlets also began to report wildly on this century‑defining financial battle. The front‑page headline of the South China Morning Post read: "Chinese Rise! Hong Kong Island Financial Landscape Transformed!" The Ming Pao headline was even more striking: "From Hundreds of Thousands to Five Billion, Chinese Youth Create a Financial Legend!" The Ta Kung Pao shouted directly: "Long Live the Chinese! We Finally Stood Up!"

The TV station's financial program analyzed this financial war for three consecutive days. The host, excited, said: "This is not merely a victory in investment, but a victory of Chinese wisdom! Mr. Lu Qingshan has proven with concrete action that Chinese can also command the international financial market!"

The photos and text in those newspapers made every Chinese feel a surge of hot blood. For many years, Chinese on Hong Kong Island had been suppressed by the United Kingdom, treated as second‑class citizens. Now finally someone has vented that resentment for them, finally someone has proved that Chinese can also rule the financial market!

In streets and alleys, in cha‑chaan tengs, everyone was discussing this remarkable young man. Some called him the Chinese savior, some said he was a financial prodigy, and others joked about going to apprentice under him to learn stock trading.

"Did you hear? That Lu Qingshan is only in his twenties!" a cha‑chaan teng owner exclaimed to customers.

"In his twenties and already earning fifty billion? My son, also in his twenties, is still asking me for pocket money!" a middle‑aged woman sighed.

"People are more annoying than people! But at least they've finally brought pride to us Chinese!"

Even the street newspaper boy shouted loudly: "Breaking news! Chinese youngster defeats the British! Lu Qingshan becomes Hong Kong Island's new God of Wealth!"

In five days, Hong Kong Island's stock market experienced unprecedented surges and crashes. From a continuous rise to a sudden plunge, the volatility was so extreme that everyone's heart nearly gave out. Those who lived through this financial storm will still recall those thrilling days many years later.

Everyone in Xinghan Group's Trading Room was so excited they couldn't sleep. Zhang Qiming clutched a calculator, repeatedly tallying their profits; each time he couldn't help but gasp, "Boss, our total profit this time, including previous long‑position gains, has already surpassed fifty billion Hong Kong dollars! Fifty billion! That figure is literally astronomical!"

He set down the calculator, his whole body trembling: "The members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce also earned over fifty billion; this is a century‑defining myth of a hundred billion Hong Kong dollars in trading profit! Boss, you haven't just created a miracle, you've created a legend!"

"One hundred billion Hong Kong dollars!" Ye Ning exclaimed, nearly fainting, "That amount could buy almost half of Central! Boss, you are now the most influential Chinese on Hong Kong Island! No— you are the youngest Financial Giant Shark in the world!"

Lin Yuchen became so excited she started dancing in the office, caring nothing about appearance: "We made a fortune! Really made a fortune! Boss, you are our God of Wealth!"

"Boss, now all the Chinese on Hong Kong Island regard you as a hero!" a young trader reported excitedly, "I just went downstairs to buy coffee, and that Chinese boss refused to take my money, saying we are people of Lu, the pride of the Chinese!"

"Haha, I went home yesterday and my mom actually prepared a whole table of dishes, saying she wanted to celebrate the Chinese victory!" another trader laughed, "My dad went even further, hanging a 'Long Live the Chinese' banner right in the living room!"

But the most excited was still Ye Ning, clutching the final profit report tightly, her eyes flashing with fervor: "Boss, this figure is nothing short of a miracle! We have once again created a miracle in Hong Kong Island's financial history! From hundreds of thousands to fifty billion, this profit multiple and speed is literally a myth!"

She was so excited she could barely speak, tears of excitement in her eyes: "I've been a trader for so many years and have never seen such a move! You are not just making money, you are Creating History! Chinese history! You have allowed all Chinese to walk the streets of Hong Kong Island with heads held high!"

Lu Qingshan watched his excited subordinates, but his mind was already contemplating the next move. Though Wilson was defeated, the Yingzi Group's foundation remains. This victory is only a beginning; the real contest lies ahead.

"Everyone, celebrating is fine, but don't forget our goal," Lu Qingshan's voice silenced the Trading Room instantly, "Wilson is defeated, but Hong Kong Island still has Yingzi Consortium capital. What we need is not a single victory, but a complete reshaping of the landscape here."

His words calmed everyone, yet the fighting spirit in their eyes grew even stronger. Following such a boss, they are not just making money, they are Creating History!
