After Divorce, I Can Hear the Future

"Let's go back to the company."

Leaving the night club, Lu Liang called over Fang Shiyu, who was waiting at the door, and headed towards the other side of Pujiang under the morning glow.

Along the way, he opened the car window, letting the cool morning breeze flow in, blowing away the scent of alcohol and clearing his head.

Today is July 6th; in six and a half hours, the United States will officially implement the tariff hike.

Good news becomes bad news when it materializes,

Bad news becomes good news when it materializes.

The renminbi and the London gold markets will more or less experience a wave of correction.

However, Lu Liang didn't care for those meager profits. He planned to hold onto his position and observe for a while.

Half an hour later, Lu Liang returned to Tianxing Private Equity.

They invested 5.5 billion USD in offshore renminbi, with a cost price of 6.8120 yuan, and a closing price of 6.8900 yuan, with an account balance of 6.2 billion USD.

They invested 37.5 billion USD in London gold, with a cost price of 1688 USD, a closing price of 1805 USD, and an account balance of 40.1 billion USD.

Lastly, there was the 2 billion USD of reserve funds in the account that hadn't gotten a chance to be used. The current total assets stood at 48.3 billion USD.

After deducting the principal plus interest of 30.085 billion USD of leveraged funds, the actual balance was 18.215 billion USD, with a net profit of 3.215 billion USD.

"21.4%, earning money feels increasingly difficult, doesn't it?" Lu Liang remarked, looking a bit melancholic, as he let out a deep sigh.

Recalling the past, every operation yielded at least a 100% profit margin, but recently, none exceeded 50%.

"Um..." Sun Yutao was at a loss for words, feeling that Boss Lu was showing off.

Turning one into ten,

Is not the same as turning one billion into ten billion, is it?

With a small base, like a Wuling Hongguang mini navigating through a bustling market, passing through a sea of flowers without a single leaf touching.

With a large base, like a truck speeding down a highway, forget about navigating flexibly, at times you even need to anticipate brake times.

Lu Liang glanced at him, chuckled, handed over the signed settlement report, and said, "Take 30 million from the public account as bonuses, have a good rest for a week, and come back next week for the announcement of the fourth fund's settlement."

The third fund was a three-year contract set to settle in February next year, while the fourth one was a one-year term expiring in mid-July.

The size of the fourth fund was 3 billion USD, with 1.5 billion coming from domestic sources, and another 1.5 billion from abroad.

Settlement on July 13th, by which time Lu Liang's domestic and international friends, both new and old, should all be present.

This would allow him to grasp a good understanding of the current international financial circles' stance towards him, facilitating the next course of action.

While speaking with Sun Yutao, Lu Liang received a call from Wen Chao, and waved him off, saying, "You can leave for now."

Xingheng successfully withdrew under Tianxing's cover, although it missed out on the second wave of market movements, not a bit of the profits were leaked.

Billion USD was invested in the London gold market, with an entry price of 1712 USD, and closed at 1765 USD, leaving a balance of 157.2 billion USD.

However, due to the rushed timeline, Xingheng joined the fray without even securing double the leverage, ultimately profiting 4.98 billion USD after deductions.

"Next, continue investing in the Bitcoin market, but do not let holdings exceed 10%. If there's excess capital, see if there's any industry worth investing in Neon."

"If you're completely at a loss, buy a few plots of land or acquire some quality assets. I assume Mitsui Sumitomo would be very willing to help us."

Bitcoin's current price stood at 4258 USD, with a total market supply of only 21 million coins.

Over three million coins were yet to be mined, leaving a maximum market stock of 18 million coins.

Xingheng's holdings already surpassed one million coins, with a current fund flow of 10.85 billion USD.

If fully purchased, their holdings would increase to 3.55 million, accounting for 19.7% of the market circulation.

Thinking from another perspective, if Wall Street institutions knew Lu Liang held such a large quantity of Bitcoin, would they trigger a third wave of the market?

Lu Liang, being narrow-minded, certainly wouldn't tolerate it, so holding a quantity of 1.8 million coins would suffice, no more.

Wen Chao agreed, then suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, I heard recently that the Fujiko of the six major Fuji Television stations seem to face a crisis of cash flow interruption."

"At that time, Chairman Ota specifically asked if we were interested, and said they could facilitate the process."

Ota Ling seemed to have become addicted to easy wins, always having a sense of crisis.

Because Xingheng's capital was either in financial markets or in the United States.

If they ever wanted to transfer it, it was something like the rain falling, or marrying off a daughter, which couldn't be stopped.

So he kept urging him to invest in local enterprises, even willing to make exceptions, to override the legal clauses preventing foreigners from holding controlling interests.

However, Lu Liang was about to visit that day, followed by engaging in support operations in the London gold market, so there wasn't time to report promptly.

"What's the asking price?" Lu Liang inquired.

As long as the television station wasn't heavily in debt, wasn't insolvent, it generally belonged to the category of quality assets.

If the price was right, he wouldn't mind purchasing one for fun.

If things didn't work out, he could always buy an adult film company, converting it into a paid adult channel led by the dark king S1.

"Last year, Fuji's market value was 580 billion yen, equivalent to 4.8 billion USD. However, it has significant water content, as revenue was only 175 million USD, and it's been in a long-term deficit."

"If we're interested in holding controlling interests, we could initially invest 800 million to 1 billion USD to try and acquire a 33.4% stake, then let Mitsui Sumitomo manage the rest."

Upon hearing Wen Chao's words, Lu Liang motioned him to be fully in charge of this matter.

However, they could set up a subsidiary under Sakurada Miyuki's name, after all, she was a genuine Neon person, which could reduce a lot of unnecessary public pressure.

It's like if a domestic television station were to be sold, and it ended up being bought by the Japanese, it would probably trigger a massive wave of resistance.

While the two were talking, Lu Liang suddenly yawned and instinctively looked out the window, realizing that it was already late morning.

"Let's leave it at that for now. I'll take some time in a few days to visit Tokyo."

After wrapping up the call with Wen Chao, Lu Liang headed to the lounge downstairs, indifferent to going home.

As he lay in bed, Liang Wenhu, embracing his lover in dreams, the winds were stirring in Wall Street.

After a few hours of investigation, Tianxing's quantitative model origins had been uncovered to its core.

Originally a company with some fame in the domestic quantitative field, Huanfang Technology suddenly became a hot international sensation.

Good news becomes bad news when it materializes; with the impending implementation of the tariff increase bill, London gold prices lost their upward rationale.

Institutions involved in trading wanted an excuse to harvest the market.

The collaboration between Tianxing Fund and Huanfang Technology, introducing quantitative trading for the first time to create a golden age, and eventually escaping with funds, served as a decent excuse.

London gold prices plunged sharply,

Immediately falling below 1800 USD.

Institutions that were bullish merely hours ago suddenly turned bearish, wielding figurative sickles like merciless harvesting machines.

Retail and speculative capital following the trend could not react in time, helplessly watching as their account profits suddenly turned into losses, and some even faced knock-out.

An announcement saying that Tianxing introduced quantitative trading was enough to send shocks through the London gold market.

Although gold in London saw an increase of over 100 USD overnight, there were very few speculators who managed to seize and keep the profits fully from this wave.

They chased the highs and killed the lows, feared heights, and always liked to operate with overconfidence.

A 10 USD rise led them to think that 1900 USD, 2000 USD was within reach.

Suddenly, they were overwhelmed with confidence, believing that a get-rich-quick dream was just a night away, only to ultimately decide with determination, but then the institutions came swinging with their sickles.

"A market without Tianxing is truly a delightful one; the international market should indeed be our exclusive stage."

In recent years, it's been worse than ever.

Clearly, with so many black swan political events happening, causing major market fluctuations.

In the past, take the 2008 financial crisis for example; even if they didn't foresee it beforehand, at most there was a slight initial loss, but subsequently, they would turn a huge profit.

But now, not only do they lose in the early stages, the profit they make afterward is also a pittance, with quite a few not making any returns at all, as if some Damocles' Sword is perpetually hanging over their heads, always at risk of falling.

This situation,

Seems to have started after Lu Liang appeared.

Killing the source of one's financial prospects is akin to killing one's parents.

Taking some extra-market action against such a revenge-inviting enemy seems justifiable as well.
