Until this time, although the panic in Temasek Holdings' Overseas Investment Department had passed, no operator dared to say a word and make a sound in the huge investment department.

Seeing that the traders' faces turned pale, they didn't even dare to breathe. The nervous and lack of oxygen was the first to be the first to admit that the company had fallen into a deep abyss and could not turn over until then.

"The 120 billion US dollars of the government investment company, and the 250 billion US dollars are gone, all of them are gone..." Middle-aged Finance Minister Lin Wenyuan sighed deeply, and even his body was trembling slightly, as if he could not stand up after losing his strength.

The spacious overseas investment center did not even ring a phone. All the phones were consciously picked up, keeping busy, and the external phones could not be called in at all.

"Minister..." Huang Deyao helped Lin Wenyuan's arm, as if he wanted to help him sit next to the chair.

After leaving Huang Deyao's support, Lin Wenyuan's mind was full of the desperate situation of Temasek and the government investment company.

At the most optimistic time, it was hit by a devastating blow, which made Singapore Finance Minister Lim Wenyuan completely unaware of what to do.

"Why is this happening? I'll call the New York branch of CITIC Bank..." Temasek's nominal president Huang Yaode looked unwilling to accept reality, but when he hurriedly took a few steps to pick up the phone, his despair and struggle changed again and again. Finally, he took a deep breath and dropped the phone.

"Xinzhi Railway Bank also has huge long positions that make profits in the futures index market. But we have nothing left, let the traders disperse. This operation must not be revealed to the outside world." Lin Wenyuan said powerlessly.

As a government investment institution, which controls most of Singapore's capital lifeline, Lin Wenyuan is very clear about what it means to suffer heavy damage from Temasek Holdings and government investment. Once this incident spreads, not only will the government's credibility decline sharply, but even the people will be in panic.

The situation of Temasek Holdings at this time is just a microcosm of a number of short-selling institutions in the market. This discomfort of being wiped out by the entire army is enough to make any investment institution despair.

Compared with investment institutions, small and medium-sized investors have a very small proportion of participation in international crude oil futures. The hardest hit in this international crude oil futures war is international hot money. After a storm, the main force of the short side can be described as being corpses everywhere.

At this time, Lin Wenyuan, who was in the overseas investment department of Temasek Holdings and was unable to deal with the mess, did not know that Temasek Holdings and government investment companies had been targeted by those who were interested and became the target of taking advantage of the situation.

The 70th floor restaurant in Meizhi Building seemed quite quiet early in the morning.

The spacious and clean restaurant is shining under the sunlight by a large glass curtain wall. The exquisite and luxurious light is everywhere.

The dishes on the table are extremely particular, whether they are knife skills, raw materials, color, fragrance, and taste. Chen Hongtao picked up a piece of crispy glutinous rice duck in a wooden food box and ate it into his mouth.

Feeling the glutinous rice duck's crispy outside and soft inside. The smell of fragrant inside, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Eve, do you want to have something together?" Seeing Eve standing aside, Chen Hongtao took a sip of juice and asked at her with a smile.

"I've eaten it. It's rare that you haven't slept all night, and you're so energetic." Eve smiled slightly and refused Chen Hongtao's invitation.

"I feel good, and I am naturally in good spirits. I think I still have meat in the jar." Chen Hongtao smiled and signaled to Eve, eating the one in the bowl and thinking about the one in the pot.

There are two-story restaurants in Meizhi Building. Compared with the restaurants where employees dine on the 30th floor of the building, the restaurant on the 70th floor looks extremely high-end and elegant, and even compared to a five-star hotel, it is not much for the sake of it.

Sitting at the dining table beside the glass curtain wall and looking at the vast scenery outside the window, even my mood became much more open.

Usually, the restaurant on the 70th floor of Meizhi Building is a dining place for company executives. There are not many people coming here, let alone in the morning.

Because of the large amount of food, Chen Hongtao usually eats in his office, but there are very few people coming to the restaurant.

However, many employees of Mingzhu Holdings are not unfamiliar with Chen Hongtao, the big boss. Although there are some Chinese employees in the holding company, Chen Hongtao is the only one who can let the errand runner-running girl Eve follow.

Before Chen Hongtao finished breakfast, Winnie and Peier had already walked over together.

"You big boss is really hard to find. If CEO Xu Chunjiao hadn't told me that you might have come to the restaurant for dinner, it would be really difficult for us to meet you. It would be useless to help you with so much effort!" Winnie smiled and Lapeer sat opposite Chen Hongtao, without any restraint.

Seeing a large table of rich and exquisite dishes in front of her, Peier even wondered whether this was breakfast. In her opinion, even the emperor of ancient China was not so luxurious.

"I thought you were back." Chen Hongtao smiled casually, and did not give in to the two women too much.

"You still haven't changed at all, you overeat early in the morning!" Winnie signaled Peier to have breakfast together, and sighed and looked at Chen Hongtao.

This is the first time Chen Hongtao met Peier, a shareholder of the Swiss United Bank. The first impression of the girl is not beautiful, but she is very pretty. She wears a silk dress and shawl, which has a pampered temperament of a lady from a big Western family.

Seeing that Chen Hongtao was talking very little, there was a faint surprise and loss in the depths of Wenni's eyes.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry to disturb you. I asked Winnie to bring me here this time to talk to you about the division of interests after the storm in the international crude oil futures market." Pei'er was not in a hurry to have a meal, but said calmly to Chen Hongtao.

"You Swiss United Bank's trading market is very beautiful. You can take away a large amount of profit every time. Do you still care about the remaining small profits after the war?" Chen Hongtao said with a smile after eating a piece of crab roe.

"It is not only the US securities market that is about to open today, but also the main short-side agency that has been inflated in the international crude oil futures market. There is a large hidden interest. The reason why I want to talk to you is that you Mingzhu Holdings has sufficient funds, and the other is that your Mingzhu Holdings is the largest multi-party agency in the international crude oil futures market this time. I think you should know it politely before dividing the subsequent interests." Although Pei'er dressed like a pampered lady, the feeling that she brought to people was very calm.

"Is the largest multi-party main institution? I feel like I am a pioneer. In my opinion, some multi-party families and main institutions have a large position in operating international crude oil this time. Our Mingzhu Holdings has made some money, which shows that many people don't know that you are making a lot of money, but we Mingzhu Holdings can't show you." Chen Hongtao's smile made both Winnie and Peier's expressions change slightly.

"Mr. Chen, you are too modest. Without the market appeal of your Mingzhu Holdings, this wave of multi-party market trends in the international crude oil futures market would not be activated. Although the Swiss United Bank and the Metic family where I work have not had deep contact with Mr. Chen, we have always regarded you as the most important ally." Peier smiled lightly and did not look back. She raised her hand and took the folder of the female secretary and handed it to Chen Hongtao himself.

Chen Hongtao did not make any statement about the girl Peier's statement. He just took a brief look at the contents in the folder.

"It seems that you are not only interested in the two investment companies in Singapore, but you don't even want to let go of the assets of CITIC Bank!" Chen Hongtao closed the document and wiped his hands, and then began to continue eating.

"Temasek Holdings was established in 1974. It is nominally exempt from private enterprises, but it is actually wholly owned by the Singapore government. Because there is no need to disclose annual financial statements like listed companies, there have been constant rumors about the company. What is most interesting is that the company controls almost all the most important and largest companies in Singapore, including Singapore Telecom, Singapore Airlines, DBS Bank, Singapore Metro, Singapore Port, King Shipping, Singapore Electricity, Keppel Group and Raffles Hotel. According to estimates by our Swiss United Bank, the market value of the shares held by Temasek Holdings accounts for 41% of the entire Singapore stock market and almost dominates Singapore's economic lifeline." Peier looked at Chen Hongtao calmly and introduced.

"Indeed, compared to its influence on Singapore's domestic capital, Singapore's political investment is not as good as Temasek Holdings, but this Temasek Holdings, wholly owned by the Singapore government, is not a listed company. It may not be too easy to reach out to it. Is there any good way for you?" Chen Hongtao asked at the two women with a smile.

"I got the news that as the main short side of the international crude oil futures market, Temasek and Singapore Government Investment Company's losses in the international crude oil futures market have reached the limit that the two companies have endured. Since the two companies do not publish their financial statements, I guess the Singapore government should temporarily hide this matter and seek a solution. This is a good opportunity for us to intervene." Peier gave Chen Hongtao's explanation.

"A government wholly-owned company like this is estimated that even if foreign investment institutions can be allowed to participate through negotiations, it will not give foreign companies enough controlling rights. You found me to divide the shares of Temasek Holdings through wolves hunting, right? It is inevitable that there will be no advantage in pouring into an investment institution, but if there are more foreign equity-holding institutions, it will cause the equity of the Singapore government to dilute, and then control Temasek Holdings and the economy and politics of deep into Singapore through joint means?" Chen Hongtao said with a smile on his face at Peier.

"The most important thing is that it will be relatively easier for us to do this now. After the international crude oil futures market is incurred, the situation of Temasek Holdings and the Singapore government will inevitably be extremely difficult." Winnie reminded Chen Hongtao.

To the surprise of the two women, Chen Hongtao just smiled and shook his head: "It's one thing to be in a difficult situation, and it's another thing to do if we need it. At this time, even if the Singapore government tightens its belt, it will help Temasek Holdings overcome the difficulties. And they will take the initiative to talk. Without a trump card, it will not be too successful. Once foreign capital participates in the shares, Temasek Holdings will inevitably have an explanation to the people. I think the Singapore government will not want such a situation to happen. Instead of rashly negotiating, it's better to spread the news effectively. The news of the huge losses of Temasek Holdings and government investment companies in the international crude oil futures market will cause a certain range of turmoil in Singapore. At this time, I think it might be better if it openly comes forward to discuss the shares with the Singapore government."

"Doesn't you put pressure on the Singapore government by spreading news?" Winnie said thinking.

Chen Hongtao said vaguely, "The more panicked the Singapore government is, the easier it is to take advantage of Temasek. But after all, Temasek is just a thin horse, and he is still thinking about it by a group of wolves. Even if he participates in it, there is no good or bad."

"What do you think of CITIC Bank?" Winnie and Peier looked at each other, and then asked Chen Hongtao.

Chen Hongtao only raised his head at this time: "Relying on railway development, the bank's commercial outlets radiate the entire United States like spider webs. It owns shares of a number of railway and subway companies, which is of great value. Although the name is not very good, whoever gets this bank is equivalent to having the foundation for competing with major international banks in the United States."

Peier looked at Chen Hongtao and smiled: "Xinzhibank has 12,000 branches and branches in the United States, 790 self-service banks and 12,600 self-service equipment, and its international network includes more than 400 overseas branches, subsidiaries and representative offices, with assets of more than US$400 billion. This is a great temptation for any major bank that wants to acquire it."

"This time I heard that the Schiff family misappropriated the bank's funds to operate international crude oil, and the losses of international crude oil in the books of various major families also caused a great drag on the Bank of China. It is estimated that after today, the Bank of China may be difficult!" Winnie said to Chen Hongtao with deep meaning.

"It's not very certain now. Although Cyberbank is not a private bank of the Schiff family, it is jointly owned by various major families. Although there are some troubles at present, the subsequent direction of things may not be without a turnaround." Chen Hongtao not only did not express too many views, but seemed quite conservative.

Faced with Chen Hongtao's calmness, Winnie and Peier, who wanted to test him, it was difficult for a moment to determine Chen Hongtao's true thoughts.
