Chapter 36

Prince Zixuan's fundraising gala was held at a five-star hotel under the Hengshi Group. The hotel was surrounded by tight security, and no one without an invitation could enter.

The gala began at 3 PM. After Wang Liangming gave a speech, Prince Zixuan took the stage to persuade the wealthy attendees.

For today's fundraising, Prince Zixuan had meticulously prepared, researching a lot of data. He combined his knowledge to predict that the global economy would slowly recover in 2010, but the European debt crisis would intensify, challenging the Eurozone. The United States might introduce a second round of quantitative easing.

Prince Zixuan also explained the structure of the Predator Fund and the investment markets.

During this period, he had already found ten experienced traders through a headhunting company, specializing in the foreign exchange and gold markets. These ten people would manage the Predator Fund's capital, but the final decisions would still be his.

Although Prince Zixuan had tweeted that he would not focus on his business next year and would become a TV show host, many of the wealthy attendees were reassured when they learned that the Predator Fund's investment markets for next year would be the foreign exchange and gold markets.

There was no need to elaborate on the gold market; Prince Zixuan had already established himself as a king in that field.

In the foreign exchange market, Prince Zixuan also demonstrated his keen insight.

On December 3rd, Prince Zixuan tweeted a tip to short the euro.

On the 4th, the euro plummeted against the dollar and continued to fall, losing nearly 10% over the next twenty days. The three major credit rating agencies also downgraded Greece's credit rating that month.

Prince Zixuan didn't elaborate much on his judgment of the foreign exchange and gold markets, but the wealthy attendees still decided to seize this opportunity.

Otherwise, they might miss out on this chance.

Prince Zixuan's speed of making money was too fast, and he might clear out other people's funds at any time, like Soros, to manage only his family's funds.

If the fund size was too large, it would have to be diversified, inevitably reducing the return on investment.

The rest of the gala was even more boring.

The wealthy women and beauties who were playing in other entertainment rooms also attended the gala, but Prince Zixuan was surrounded by the wealthy, who asked him about specific industries.

Prince Zixuan, of course, was not omniscient, but he knew a lot about major industries. He didn't hold back and shared whatever he knew.

Whether they agreed or not, the wealthy attendees would remember Prince Zixuan's words.

Back home, they would have their think tanks analyze the information.

To avoid the rudeness of going to the bathroom during conversations, Prince Zixuan hardly drank anything.

By the end of the gala, his throat was almost on fire.

After seeing off the guests, Prince Zixuan immediately asked a waiter to bring him a drink, which he gulped down in one go.

Yu Suting, seeing Prince Zixuan's state, said with concern, "Zixuan has been busy for three months. Starting tomorrow, you should take a break. You don't need to entertain guests at home, and you can hand over the fund matters to the legal department."

Prince Zixuan immediately felt relieved. He hated having to entertain guests every day and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll take a few days off. Next month, I'll have to focus on the fund's investments."

Wang Liangming also said, "You can use my private jet to travel abroad for a while."

Prince Zixuan was immediately excited and said with a smile, "Then I'll ask Spencer to arrange it for me."

"Sure."

Back home, Prince Zixuan called the British butler Spencer and said, "I want to travel abroad for a few days. Do you have any recommendations?"

Spencer asked, "Would the second young master prefer a snowy world or a tropical island?"

Without much thought, Prince Zixuan said, "A tropical island."

Spencer said, "If you choose a tropical island, the second young master can consider the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the world's largest and longest coral reef system, and a world-renowned destination for diving, sailing, fishing, and tourism."

Prince Zixuan had heard of the Great Barrier Reef but never had the chance to visit. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the Great Barrier Reef."

Spencer said, "The second young master can choose Lindeman Island. Lindeman Island is often referred to as the jewel of the Australian Great Barrier Reef. In 1954, Queen Elizabeth II, during her visit to Australia, specifically had the fleet dock at Lindeman Island for a holiday."

Prince Zixuan knew that Spencer had researched these places and said with a smile, "Okay, please arrange it for me."

Spencer bowed and said, "I will arrange everything as quickly as possible."

Prince Zixuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

The next morning, Spencer had everything arranged.

Prince Zixuan left all the affairs in Hainan behind and, accompanied by eight bodyguards, took a private jet straight to Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef.

When Prince Zixuan stepped off the plane, a blonde woman in casual attire was already waiting below.

The blonde woman spoke in perfect Mandarin, "Hello, Mr. Wang. I am Natalie, the assistant arranged by Mr. Spencer. I will take care of all your needs during your vacation."

Spencer had already sent Prince Zixuan an email with Natalie's information.

However, seeing Natalie in person, Prince Zixuan was somewhat stunned.

Her delicate features and well-proportioned figure were so striking that if he hadn't known she was an employee of the Club Med, he would have thought she was a Hollywood star.

Prince Zixuan nodded to Natalie and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Natalie knew that Prince Zixuan was the recently famous financial genius. The company had ordered her to provide the best service to satisfy him. She always wore a bright smile and said respectfully, "If you are tired, we can rest for a night on Hamilton Island. We can take a yacht, helicopter, or seaplane to Lindeman Island tomorrow."

Although he had been on a five-hour flight, the private jet had ample space, and Prince Zixuan didn't feel tired. He asked, "How long does it take to get to Lindeman Island from here?"

Natalie said, "It takes about twenty minutes by yacht, and about six minutes by helicopter or seaplane."

After a five-hour flight, Prince Zixuan wanted to change his mode of transportation and said with a smile, "Let's take the yacht to Lindeman Island."

Natalie said, "Sure, please follow me."

Led by the blonde woman, the group took a car from the airport to a port.

Natalie had already arranged a luxury yacht to be ready.

When the group arrived at the port, a captain in a snow-white uniform was already waiting at the dock.

Prince Zixuan boarded the yacht, sat on the forward deck, and enjoyed the sea breeze and the blue ocean, feeling much refreshed.

Natalie bent down and asked, "Sir, would you like a drink or a juice?"

Prince Zixuan turned to look at Natalie and joked, "A glass of juice and a bikini beauty."

Natalie smiled and said, "Sure, please wait a moment."

Seeing Natalie turn and leave, Prince Zixuan was somewhat taken aback.

He was a spoiled rich kid, extremely self-centered, and had never found any woman appealing. He usually traveled alone. As for himself, he was a nobody.

In a sense, neither of them had ever had such an experience.
