Lin Yun was in a great mood after making so much money.
Now, almost all the money spent on purchasing those resources these past few days has been recovered.
With $430 million in profit, plus the previous profit of $70 million, this operation actually yielded a total profit of $500 million.
Converted to Chinese Yuan, it would be roughly three billion.
However... it's not over yet.
Looking at the data "before his eyes," a sharp glint flashed in the depths of Lin Yun's starry eyes.
...
In a financial building in the United States, a fist slams hard onto a table.
"Dog shit! Stinky dog shit!"
"That money hasn't left yet! The transaction just now must have been with that money! It must have been with that money!"
"He ran off with such a large sum of money all at once!"
"Who is it?! Don't let our people find out!"
A blond young man spun around in place while angrily shouting.
He estimated that the funds had swindled more than $300 million, which was not a small amount for them. After operating for so long, this should have been their profit.
"Has the source of these funds still not been determined?"
Then, he looked up in one direction and shouted loudly.
"We haven't found the specific source yet, we only know that this money is frequently exchanged for Chinese Yuan. We have two guesses: first, this money originated in China; second, this money is frequently used to manipulate China's financial markets..."
A man's voice came from the other end of the line.
"China? That financially backward place? How could they have such vision and resources? It must be some foreign financial institution operating in China's financial sector. There are still many opportunities to operate in that financially backward place like China..." the blond youth frowned.
“You can continue your investigation…” he then said.
"yes……"
The man nodded.
In fact, even if they find out the other party's background, it doesn't necessarily mean they can do anything about it.
The other party's operations are legitimate, and all profits are also legitimate. Moreover, the fact that they can operate with such a large amount of funds and with such precision suggests that they are not a simple company. Can they really do anything to the people behind this money?
That would break the rules.
From now on, who will dare to play in this circle?
The other party made a profit this time, but if they continue playing, they might lose money next time, and it could be a huge loss. As long as they don't leave this circle, the money they're making now can't really be considered profit; it might be money deposited for some institution, like them.
Following the rules is the most important thing in this industry.
However, thoroughly investigating the other party's background is beneficial for their planning and will prevent this from happening every time.
There's a saying: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
That's the point.
"Boss, should we proceed according to the original plan?"
At that moment, on the other side, a man who was operating an account looked up at the blond youth and said.
The blond youth frowned again.
Their original plan was to let the price drop a few times to scare away some of the hard-core bulls. Otherwise, when they pushed the price up to a higher level, those people could close their positions and make even greater profits.
For example, with that fund just now, when they pushed the price up by 5%, the other party sold off, and they made a profit of hundreds of millions of US dollars.
If they push the price up to 10%, and then the other party sells, they will double their profits, which is even more terrifying.
In that case, they might not lose money, but their profits would be even less.
From this perspective, it's actually a good thing that they sold off that money now. Otherwise, if they had waited until the price had risen even higher before selling, they would have suffered even greater losses.
"Let's proceed as planned..." the blond youth said helplessly.
Although there was an unexpected incident, the plan cannot be abandoned. If some long positions are not cleared out, it will hinder their subsequent price increase and affect their profits.
Hopefully, they'll take their profits on that last bit of money. Their plan this time is very secretive, and he guesses that even the other side isn't entirely sure if they're really going to push the price up later.
Perhaps, the other party is just gambling?
Now that they've profited so much, they probably won't get involved anymore.
Their grand plan cannot be disrupted by such a small accident.
"Okay, boss..."
The man nodded, and then he and some others around him continued to operate some accounts.
Five minutes later.
Gold prices have begun to fall.
This triggered many sell orders, but also prompted some buyers to make their moves.
Ten minutes later, the price of gold fell again, triggering more selling and far fewer buying.
Fifteen minutes later, the price of gold fell again, triggering even more selling pressure. Some of the previous buy orders also began to close out their positions at a loss. In an instant, sell orders rained down like a storm.
"Alright, let's wait for the harvest..."
Seeing this, the blond youth smirked and laughed.
This is just the first wave of consolidation after a significant price surge, and it's also the most profitable wave.
As he spoke, he began discussing the next steps with his accomplices over a special phone call, which was essentially about profit distribution.
"It was at this moment..."
On the plane, Lin Yun smiled faintly.
He connected his mind to the cosmic trading system and manipulated those accounts again, causing them to quickly place one large buy order after another, all in just one second.
$860 million, a total of $700 million was spent.
The remaining $160 million was kept as a reserve in case of unforeseen circumstances.
However, seven hundred million US dollars is still a lot.
A leverage of 20 times means you can leverage 14 billion US dollars.
Such a large amount of capital even caused the rapidly falling price of gold to rise by two percent in an instant.
"Quick! Buy it now!"
Seeing so much money being spent on large purchases, the blond youth's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted.
At that moment, he didn't even have time to think about where the funds came from.
This is a money-grabbing moment... and so much money was actually stolen by others, how could he not be anxious?
Soon, the price of gold returned to its original level, but the blond youth's expression remained gloomy.
Because of the recent influx of funds, they were only able to buy a small number of orders, even fewer than the orders they had previously placed.
If it weren't for the price difference that allowed them to recoup their losses, they would have actually lost money from this operation.
"Who made that payment just now? It was too much, too fast, it violates our agreement..." the blond youth shouted into the special phone.
"It's not from our side..."
"It's not from our side either..."
Several voices came through the special phone line very quickly.
"Boss, we've found out. It's the same funds as before, the funds from the large-scale liquidation..." At that moment, a voice came from not far away.
"Damn it! Idiots! We're all a bunch of idiots! We've done all this for someone else! Everyone, I have to tell you with great regret that we've been targeted by a fund, and this fund seems absolutely certain that we'll see a significant price increase later. Our original plan can no longer continue; otherwise, it will only allow this person to profit even more..."
The blond youth first cursed angrily, but after a moment, he had no choice but to say helplessly.
"If it weren't for the current price, which is quite unusual, I would definitely have blown up this amount of money. However, guys, we can't do that now. We've been planning this for so long, we can't let it all go to waste. Our goal isn't this amount of money. I guarantee that if they dare to do this again, I'll swallow them whole..."
...
"It seems these people won't let the price of gold fall any further..."
Seeing that the other party's several attempts to test the waters hadn't actually caused the gold price to drop much, Lin Yun thought to himself.
The other party seemed to want him out, or perhaps to see if he would invest more money, but he remained unmoved, leaving the other party helpless.
Ultimately, the other party maintained its high position without falling, seemingly admitting defeat.
Lin Yun closed his eyes and truly rested.
However, he had already set it on the supercomputer to notify him promptly if there were any major changes.
At the same time, he also sent messages to the traders, asking them to pay attention to the recent trends in gold futures.
Two-pronged approach to protection.
...
An hour later, Lin Yun and Xia Qingqing arrived in Shenzhen.
First, Lin Yun went to the places where the resources were placed.
"Those things were all placed according to my instructions, right?"
In a minivan, Lin Yun looked at the acquisition team in front of him and asked.
"Everything was done according to the boss's requirements."
Several acquisition personnel said respectfully in unison.
The lie detector was activated and showed that they were not lying.
Lin Yun nodded slightly and closed his eyes.
Half an hour later, he arrived at a row of warehouses.
Although he had used his supercomputer to check all the arrangements before arriving, it showed that there were no problems.
But after he arrived, he checked the actual situation.
Only then was it confirmed that there were no problems with the entire arrangement.
If he simply takes them away, as long as no one enters these warehouses again, the disappearance of these resources will not be discovered.
"You all stay outside and keep watch," Lin Yun instructed.
"Yes, boss." The subordinates nodded in unison.
Afterwards, Lin Yun told Xia Qingqing and went into the warehouse alone.
This resource purchase cost approximately 3 billion Chinese yuan. Gold accounted for only a small portion, while the other resources were much larger, piling up in the warehouse in small heaps covered with a layer of black tarpaulin.
Inside the warehouse, Lin Yun checked it again, and only after confirming that there were no surveillance devices in the warehouse did he reach out and pull down the black tarpaulins.
Immediately, piles of resources, like small mountains, appeared before him.
"Put it away!"
Lin Yun walked over and said quietly.
As Lin Yun walked slowly by, he collected piles of resources into the trading space.
Lin Yun has already discussed it with Xing Lan.
Once these resources entered the trading space, he traded them to Xinglan.
In just over ten seconds, Lin Yun put away all the resources.
Meanwhile, Xinglan calculated the price of all resources, totaling 880 spirit crystals.
Similarly, Star Blue also adds a 30% markup to all resource prices.
Otherwise, these resources could only be sold for a little over six hundred spiritual crystals.
According to Xinglan, this is also a kind of investment. He is investing in Lin Yun, and when Lin Yun develops and has more spiritual crystals, he will return the extra spiritual crystals he has given him.
However, Lin Yun knew that without a certain level of relationship, the owners of most universe trading systems wouldn't do such a thing.
After all, this is risky.
If he were to perish during this period, the other party's investment would be lost.
In short, he remembered this favor.
After receiving the 880 Spirit Crystals, Lin Yun immediately used 700 of them to expand the range of spiritual energy that the Cosmic Trading System could absorb and refine.
In an instant, the range within which the Cosmic Trading System absorbed and refined spiritual energy increased from a radius of 1,500 meters to a radius of 2,200 meters.
The further along you go, the more terrifying the increase in area becomes for every hundred meters the radius increases.
The radius increased by 700 meters, which is a significant increase.
Fifteen times fifteen equals two hundred and twenty-five, and twenty-two times twenty-two equals four hundred and eighty-four.
In terms of area alone, it has more than doubled.
Lin Yun could immediately sense that the balance on the cosmic trading system was increasing at a rate more than twice as fast as before.
Speaking of which, it must be said that the population of Shenzhen far exceeds that of Xianyuan County.
Even though it's right now, right after the Lunar New Year, Shenzhen's population is at its lowest.
It is still incomparable to Xianyuan County.
He did a quick calculation and concluded that if he stayed in Shenzhen for a day, he could obtain about thirty spirit crystals each day, which was a very large number.
If it weren't during the Lunar New Year, he estimated that he could obtain at least sixty or seventy spirit crystals every day, or even more.
Conversely, if he were in Xianyuan County, he estimated that he could only add one or two more coins to the existing three or four.
After some time, when many people leave Xianyuan County, the spiritual insights he gained each day in Xianyuan County will be even less.
Shenzhen still has great potential to be tapped.
The two places are vastly different.
"Boss, you've finally arrived..."
When Ding Wei saw Lin Yun arrive at the processing plant, he almost cried.
It turned out that he was just a lowly worker, and an introverted person at that. Lin Yun suddenly put him in charge of so many things, and he really couldn't handle it. If Lin Yun hadn't found some other people to help him, he probably wouldn't have been able to manage.
Even so, he felt extremely tired, especially since interpersonal communication was not his forte.
"You've worked hard these past few days. Don't worry, I'll give you a raise," Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
No, he couldn't find anyone better than Ding Wei, but in the short term, it would be difficult for him to find someone more reliable than Ding Wei.
He needs to find a reliable person to help him with things like transporting the Qingyun power banks.
"Boss, that's not what I meant..." Ding Wei quickly waved his hand and explained, his tone somewhat at a loss.
“I know, where’s Xiaomei?” Lin Yun shook his head and said.
"Xiaomei? She's dealing with people from those big companies. She'll be here in a bit." Ding Wei was taken aback and said quickly.
"By the way, boss, you don't need to worry too much about the power bank inventory for now. Those distributors just took a large number of power banks, mainly because they were afraid of not having enough stock, so they took so many..." Then, Ding Wei remembered something and added.
"Mm." Lin Yun nodded.
This explains why the eight million Qingyun power banks in stock are almost gone so quickly.
It should be noted that eight million Qingyun power banks are no small number.
Soon, Xiaomei arrived, but before she could even greet Lin Yun properly, she said anxiously, "Boss, those people heard you were here and they insist on seeing you. I couldn't stop them..."
"Go tell them to go to Qingyun Hotel. I'll arrange a meeting room for them. I'll be there in an hour," Lin Yun said calmly, without much reaction.
