$14.8 million, which, at the current exchange rate of 8.27, is equivalent to 0.6 million!

Chu Yang earned 81.6 million from 100 million yuan empty-handed, and the rest went to Shen Nansheng.

This incredible move of shorting US stocks left Li Zekai in awe, even making him question his own existence.

Born into the Li family with a silver spoon in his mouth, his father gave him 4 billion yuan to start his business in 1993. With his powerful background and connections, he was able to thrive in his entrepreneurial journey, and even felt that making money was as easy as eating and drinking.

But this year, PCCW's stock price plummeted, resulting in a book loss of over HK$10 billion, which made him truly realize what the world is like and how money can be lost like water.

Today he witnessed how someone, in such a treacherous economic environment, used unbelievable tactics to fleece the people of the other side of the Pacific Ocean, raking in over 100 million overnight.

He then realized that making money was so simple.

That Chu Yang, that guy didn't even call to ask about it, he was frighteningly calm!

He's only nineteen years old...

Li Zekai decided to have a more in-depth conversation with him.

"Mr. Shen, it's like this, the withdrawal will take one trading day to arrive. I'll advance the money to you first, and I'll arrange the transfer as soon as the bank opens tomorrow morning."

"I'm so sorry, but I'll still use the same account as before. I'll send you my second brother's account later."

"Okay, oh right, I'd like to see Chu Yang tomorrow morning to ask him something. Would it be convenient to meet at the same hotel as dinner tonight?"

"Sure, I'll talk to him about it."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zekai closed his laptop, stretched his tired body, and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, he woke up at nine o'clock and quickly got up to wash up. He didn't even eat breakfast before heading straight to the hotel where they had met the night before.

When he arrived at the location, he found Chu Yang already there. To his surprise, three of the people who had sought investment yesterday were also present.

He's familiar with Ma Huateng, and there's another one named Ma Yun, and another named Ding Lei.

As Li Zekai approached, they all stood up to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

He waved his hand and laughed, "Don't worry about me, you guys continue chatting."

Seeing a plate of steamed buns on the table, he picked one up and ate it.

Chu Yang handed him a cup of coffee and smiled, "Mr. Li, thank you so much for staying up all night last night. You've been such a great help to me."

Li Zekai swallowed a mouthful of steamed bun, gave him a deep look, and then gave him a thumbs up: "Impressive!"

Chu Yang smiled modestly and said, "I was just lucky."

Da Ma, Xiao Ma, and Ding Lei exchanged glances. They had just arrived and didn't know why Chu Yang had asked to meet with them. But what they were more curious about was how the short-selling attack of 150 million last night had fared.

Ma Huateng was more familiar with Li Zekai, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Li, you mean... you made a profit?"

"It's not just a profit, it's a huge profit! The short-selling spread is $4.80!" Li Zekai said.

"Holy crap..." Da Ma and Ding Lei looked at each other, both of them seeing the utter shock on each other's faces.

With 3.1 million shares and a price difference of $4.8, he made nearly $15 million!

Both of them slept for a while, but this guy made over a hundred million overnight!

I thought I was already a pioneering young entrepreneur in the new century, having achieved remarkable success at the age of around thirty, and possessing enough to boast about.

But at this moment, looking at Chu Yang, who was only nineteen years old, he suddenly felt a deep sense of defeat.

Despite feeling bitter inside, they still put on a smile and raised their glasses to congratulate each other, using soy milk or coffee instead of alcohol.

"Congratulations, Mr. Chu!"

"Thank you." Chu Yang clinked glasses with them.

At this moment, Li Zekai asked, "Xiao Chu, you have something to talk about with those three, right? Should I leave?"

"No need, Mr. Li." Chu Yang put down his cup and gestured, "Please have a seat, all of you."

After they sat down, he slowly said, "To be honest, I am quite optimistic about your company and think it has a very good future prospect, so I plan to make some investment."

Huh? Investment?

Da Ma, Xiao Ma, and Ding Lei were all stunned. They never expected that Chu Yang had called them here for this reason!

Investment, the kind of investment they crave!

I thought there was no hope for this trip, but unexpectedly, a ray of hope appeared. The person who was least likely to spend money was actually willing to lend a hand!

Chu Yang said sincerely, "As you can see, I made some money from stock trading. Although it's not a lot, I don't know if it will be enough to help the three of you get through this difficult time."

The three men, Da Ma, Xiao Ma, and Ding Lei, had strange expressions, and a somewhat absurd thought arose in their minds at the same time.

Could this guy have been shorting US stocks last night just to invest in us?

This is... so incredibly touching!

A warm feeling rose in the hearts of all three, and their gratitude was palpable.

They each have their own difficulties.

Although Alibaba has achieved profitability, it is still far from enough to cover the huge expenditures of the past, and it is far from sufficient for future strategic reserves.

Tencent is in an even worse situation, facing investor withdrawal and a broken cash flow, and it won't last much longer.

NetEase's stock market has plummeted, not much better than Li Zekai's Yingke. Now, a new game is about to be launched, and if it succeeds, it could turn the tide, but the funds are no longer sufficient to sustain it.

The three of them have been traveling around trying to find investors, but no one is willing to invest.

Last night was arguably their last hope.

At this moment, Chu Yang, who was only nineteen years old, looked sincere.

“…Thank you, Mr. Chu!” Pony Ma from Alibaba said.
