Chapter 77 Short-Term Trading: Take Profits and Run

After leaving the conference room, Li Baolong pretended to look for a place to rest and strolled over to the stairwell next to the general manager's office. He stood there, took a deep breath to calm himself, and then activated his telepathic abilities. Once activated, it was as if he had invisible eyes, allowing him to "see" directly into General Manager Wei's office. He saw General Manager Wei talking animatedly on the phone, saying, "We have over two hundred million yuan in hand now, and we're preparing to invest it in London copper. Tomorrow, we'll drive up the price of London copper so those people can make a little money and taste the sweetness."

As soon as General Manager Wei hung up the phone and was about to leave, Li Baolong reacted swiftly, using his mental perception to create an invisible force that enveloped General Manager Wei's brain while issuing a command. This time, Li Baolong gained a lot of startling information: General Manager Wei was merely a puppet, running errands for others. He led those big-time speculators from the exchange to wreak havoc in the stock market, causing chaos everywhere. Most of the profits had to be handed over to the higher-ups, while a real mastermind was controlling everything behind the scenes. The recent manipulation of London copper futures in Hong Kong was also planned: a one-day rise to make everyone happy, followed by a three-day crash to trap small investors.

Li Baolong had a plan in mind and secretly devised a solution. Then, he withdrew his spiritual power, and General Manager Wei's mind seemed to be cleared, completely forgetting everything that had happened a minute before and after. He then walked out in a daze, slowly and unsteadily.

Li Baolong went straight to Liu Na's office on the eighth floor. Pushing open the door, he saw Liu Na sitting in front of her computer, her eyes closed as if resting. Li Baolong gently knocked. Liu Na opened her eyes at the sound, and seeing Li Baolong, her face flushed slightly. With a playful tone, she said, "Did you miss me?" Li Baolong smiled and walked over, saying, "Of course I did. But I can't drink your nourishing soup anymore." Liu Na's lips curled up, and she replied with amusement, "You wish! So many people want it, and I won't give it to them. Do you know how long it takes to make soup?" Looking at Liu Na's captivating appearance, Li Baolong felt a surge of desire. If they weren't in the office, he would have loved to have a proper "exchange" with her immediately. In his eyes, Liu Na was simply an irresistible enchantress.

Immediately afterward, Li Baolong told Liu Na about the ten investors in the business department who were going to participate in the London copper investment. After listening, Liu Na thought for a moment and said to Li Baolong, "You can put some of your funds into it. This is a rare opportunity, and it should be a sure thing to make some money." Li Baolong smiled and half-jokingly asked, "If we make money this time, what gift do you want? I'll buy it for you." Liu Na smiled charmingly, her eyes carrying a hint of meaning, and said, "Brother Long, what I want, you can't give me right now." Li Baolong asked curiously, "Then tell me something I can give you." Liu Na gently tossed her hair and slowly said, "I hope you go to Hong Kong and make a lot of money, then let me be your agent and give me a share of the profits every year." Upon hearing this, Li Baolong couldn't help but laugh heartily and readily said, "Okay, it's settled then. You'd better listen to me obediently from now on, and I guarantee I can make you a top-tier tycoon." Liu Na laughed heartily as well, and the atmosphere in the office suddenly became relaxed and pleasant.

After leaving the sales office, Li Baolong went home. He'd only been home a short while when his phone rang. It was Jiang Xiaomei calling. When he answered, Jiang Xiaomei said, "Baolong, I've sold the massage parlor to the older woman there. I only got five thousand yuan from her. I'm thinking of going to Rongcheng these next few days. Do you know any good jobs there? Could you help me look?" Li Baolong thought for a moment and said on the phone, "Xiaomei, why don't you come and stay in Rongcheng for now? I have a place here. We can look for jobs slowly later, don't rush."

The next morning, Li Baolong drove to the Jin Guo Stock Exchange. As soon as he parked, he went straight to the VIP room on the third floor, entering his private room with practiced ease. Once inside, he turned on his computer. At that moment, Bai Fei entered, smiling broadly, and asked, "Brother Li, are you planning to trade this morning?" Li Baolong nodded slightly and said briefly, "Yes, buy London copper." Upon hearing this, Bai Fei immediately went out and arranged for a trader to come in. The trader entered, sat in front of the computer, and quietly awaited Li Baolong's instructions, his posture as if he were ready to charge into battle at any moment.

After Bai Fei left, Li Baolong turned to the trader and said, "Brother, buy ten million worth of London copper later, and leverage it tenfold. That'll be a hundred million." The trader simply nodded calmly; after all, in the London copper market, which is worth hundreds of billions, a hundred million wasn't a big deal. "Place the order!" Li Baolong commanded, and the trader quickly executed the order, soon completing the hundred million order. Not long after, the price of London copper rose another point. Li Baolong didn't even blink, and said again, "Buy another hundred million." The trader did as he was told, and the order was successfully executed again.

After that, Li Baolong sat there quietly observing the market trend. By the close of trading that day, Hong Kong and London copper prices had risen by more than 5%, and Li Baolong immediately sold 200 million yuan worth of copper. In total, Li Baolong's 200 million yuan investment yielded a profit of approximately 10 million yuan. However, Li Baolong's face remained expressionless, and he was indifferent to the situation. At this point, he no longer cared much about a profit of 10 million yuan.

After get off work, Li Baolong called Liu Na excitedly and said, "Sister Na, I bought 200 million worth of London copper today!" Liu Na chuckled on the other end of the line and teased, "Wow, you've got guts! You must have made some money today, right?" Li Baolong chuckled and admitted it, then offered to treat Liu Na to dinner. Liu Na readily agreed.

The two drove separately to a luxurious Western restaurant. The restaurant was softly lit and played soothing music. They ordered a couple's set menu and each drank a cocktail. During the meal, their eyes met, and they both saw satisfaction in each other's eyes; the food seemed especially delicious.

After dinner, Li Baolong followed Liu Na back to her home. As soon as they entered, Liu Na made tea, and the two sat on the sofa and began to chat. Their conversation ranged from work to life, and the atmosphere gradually became intimate. Before long, Li Baolong couldn't resist pulling Liu Na into his arms, and Liu Na reciprocated. They embraced, unable to contain their passion, and made their way from the living room to the bedroom, engaging in several passionate encounters, fully releasing their love and affection.

Time slipped by unnoticed, and more than an hour passed. The room was now filled with an atmosphere of ambiguity and passion. Liu Na, her face flushed and panting, lay beneath Li Baolong, her soft body trembling slightly, as if still immersed in the intense pleasure of their recent encounter.

Finally, Liu Na recovered and gently nestled into Li Baolong's broad and warm embrace. Her voice was as soft as a breeze caressing the strings of a harp, carrying a hint of shyness and longing as she whispered to Li Baolong, "Brother Long... I really can't live without you now. I love being with you, and being your woman is so wonderful..." Her words were filled with deep affection, making one's heart ache with tenderness.
