Chapter 61

While the world was still in shock over Wang Zixuan's millions of fans, he dropped another bombshell.

On February 24th, the Predator Fund distributed dividends, with each investor receiving a dividend as high as 90% of their principal.

According to Wang Zixuan's commission rate, this meant that the Predator Fund had achieved a return of over 180% in just over a month. Based on the scale of the Predator Fund's fundraising, Wang Zixuan's commission this time amounted to over 50 billion US dollars.

This news instantly shocked the world.

Although the Predator Fund's 180% return over 45 days was meager compared to Wang Zixuan's previous 110 times return over 60 days, the initial amount he operated was only a few million dollars, while the Predator Fund had nearly 60 billion dollars.

In 2007, the god of short selling, John Paulson, saw his two funds rise by 590% and 350% respectively, and he earned 3.7 billion US dollars in commissions, becoming the biggest winner of the subprime crisis and the hottest hedge fund manager on Wall Street.

Now, the Predator Fund achieved a 180% return in just 45 days, and the European debt crisis was just beginning to escalate.

As the European debt crisis spread, the Predator Fund was likely to achieve even more astonishing returns.

For a time, global tycoons and investment institutions waved their checks and contacted the Predator Fund, asking when the next product would start fundraising.

Major media outlets around the world also flocked to Sanya, wanting to interview this legendary figure who had repeatedly created wealth miracles.

The world's richest person.

The greatest investor in history.

While the media in China and the United States highly praised Wang Zixuan's great achievements in the capital market, some European media, out of envy and jealousy, portrayed him as a financial parasite who had drained Europe and an irredeemable villain.

Wang Zixuan's last Weibo post also received millions of comments.

"Admiring the world's richest person."

"Hubby is so awesome."

"The richest person on the planet."

"Super diamond bachelor."

"Hubby, please lead us to prosperity."

"Seeking prosperity."

"Seeking prosperity."

Apart from the voices of praise, there were also calls for Wang Zixuan to lead everyone to prosperity.

In just one day, Wang Zixuan's Weibo followers increased by over 500,000, and many users who had not previously followed him couldn't resist clicking the follow button.

It wasn't until the evening that Wang Zixuan posted another Weibo: "The Predator Fund will not raise more funds. I will develop a product that can benefit ordinary people. Of course, my focus this year is still on entertainment; I am going to become an entertainment superstar. Once the funds are in place, I will donate 80 billion Chinese yuan to the Positive Energy Fund, to make it a round number."

Wang Zixuan was not satisfied with the Predator Fund's return rate. As the fund size grew, it became increasingly difficult to build positions, and the leverage available also decreased.

No bank dared to let him use hundreds of billions of dollars to leverage dozens of times, as a sudden market change could result in hundreds or even thousands of billions of dollars in losses, which no bank could afford.

The Predator Fund was still able to achieve over ten times leverage by spreading investments across many banks and investment banks.

If he had only used a few billion dollars, he could have made a profit of over ten times in this wave of euro depreciation.

Influenced by Wang Zixuan, the dinner with Soros and others was moved up, and the euro's decline against the US dollar was faster than in the previous life.

Especially after the media exposed that Wang Zixuan, Soros, and other hedge funds were shorting the euro, international speculative funds joined the ranks of those shorting the euro.

If it weren't for the European Central Bank's strong financial power and the European emergency measures to strengthen financial regulations, requiring all banks and hedge funds to report their positions, which curbed the shorting of the euro, the euro might have collapsed directly.

However, even so, the euro had fallen nearly 20% against the US dollar in just over a month.

On one hand, Wang Zixuan was dissatisfied with the Predator Fund's return rate, and on the other hand, he was cautious about the euro's trend, fearing that further expansion of the fund would lead to a joint crackdown by Europe and America.

Although American funds were also shorting the euro to strengthen the US dollar, if the Predator Fund continued to grow, it might cause American funds to change their strategy.

The dominant force in the capital market was still American funds; he was merely taking advantage of the trend and using his rebirth advantage to seize a large chunk of profit.

Even if he had 100 billion US dollars, he could not become the market leader; he would only become the biggest prey, as leading the market required more than just money.

Wang Zixuan's Weibo post was also widely shared and commented on.

Countless fans were in awe.

"Hubby is indeed the noblest person."

"I knew hubby wouldn't forget us."

"I can't wait for the peak night."

"Whether in terms of net worth or popularity, March 12th will be a true peak night."

"Last time it was 10 billion, this time it's 100 billion, next time will it be 1 trillion?"

"Indeed, he is the reincarnation of a generous child."

"Sanya is the city with the highest happiness index, isn't it? Everyone will get at least a few thousand yuan in red envelopes this year."

"I want to be a Sanya resident too."

"Can the people upstairs afford a house in Sanya? It's said that the price changes every day, and in a few days, it will be the most expensive in the universe."

"No need to think about it, the household registration in Sanya has been frozen long ago. Those who can move in now are not short of money, and those who are short of money can't move in."

"In the past, I never believed there were people who treated money like dirt, but after hubby appeared, I believe it."

The information in this Weibo post was also widely reported by major media outlets.

The most loving person.

A genius investor with a philanthropic spirit.

The capricious world's richest person.

While the world's people highly praised Wang Zixuan, the tycoons and investment institutions were very disappointed, but they had no way to deal with him.

Those who could put pressure on Wang Zixuan in China had already invested in the first batch.

Under Wang Zixuan's dominance of all headlines, on February 25th, the headquarters of Wang International Resort Group quietly opened in Sanya.

Wang Zixuan did not rush to promote the international resort group's resources domestically but first injected 100 billion Chinese yuan into the group to improve various facilities, Chinese signs, and other preparations for the full-scale promotion later.

The 5,000 acres of land in Haitang Bay had been purchased for 6 billion yuan, but the design plan was not yet complete, so the Sanya Palace project could not start construction.

Many companies were interested in this land, but everyone knew it was reserved for Wang Zixuan, and no one wanted to offend him, so no company bid on it.

Otherwise, if they bid on any land in the future, Wang Zixuan, this spendthrift, could raise the price, and no one could bear it.

On February 26th, the eighth episode of "The Voice of China" aired, with the god of singing conducting the mentor assessment.

The fatigue from the New Year's songs and dances had decreased significantly, and with the attraction of the god of singing and several excellent students in the group, as well as the charm of the new global richest person, Wang Zixuan, the ratings rebounded sharply, with an average of 15%, a number that was still awe-inspiring, even though it did not set a new record.
