Resurrection Empire

Ren Zhong stood at the window, frowning, "watching" as Yang Bingzhong quickly and lightly left below.

After saying those previous words, Yang Bingzhong did not continue speaking, but simply instructed Ren Zhong not to worry about any hunting tasks and to just focus on recovering.

Yang Bingzhong even gave Ren Zhong a few more spots, allowing him to bring more temporary vagrants to Chromium Carbon Town.

The fervent excitement on Yang Bingzhong's face flashed through his mind again, and Ren Zhong swiftly closed the curtain and headed towards the study.

Zheng Tian happened to walk over with a damp cloth at this moment, but Ren Zhong shook his head, indicating it wasn't necessary; he needed some time alone to think about certain issues.

As he was on the verge of complete recovery, the secretion of black sludge had significantly reduced, and after chatting with Yang Bingzhong for over half an hour, there wasn't much, so there was no rush to wipe it off.

He sat at the desk, turned off his wrist watch, then took out pen and paper, and began writing down one title after another.

1. Ansheng Biotech.

This was a small-cap demon stock he had previously manipulated.

At the time, Ren Zhong wasn't aware of the company's specific business scope, only its growth rate.

Later, he deliberately investigated Ansheng Biotech's corporate information to deceive Ma Dafu.

Its main business is the research and production of auxiliary freezing fluid pharmaceutical components in human cryogenic technology.

It's considered a concept stock in the human cryogenics sector, not just a conventional pharmaceutical concept stock.

At that time, Ansheng Biotech experienced a dramatic rise and fall, leaving many small investors stuck.

But nearly fifty days later, as Ren Zhong looked back, there was a new surprise.

After that terrifying plunge, nearly two months later, this once demon stock had silently crawled up from the bottom with daily small gains, more than doubling its peak during the previous major dive.

However, because its average daily increase was not high, it never re-entered Ren Zhong's demon stock pool.

But if you extend the timeline to two months, starting from the lowest point, Ansheng Biotech is by no means ordinary.

From a hindsight perspective like Zhuge Liang, the plunge of Ansheng Biotech had more to it, with big capital and brokers crazily shaking out smaller investors to complete a low-suck layout.

2. Yibin Paper Industry.

The company's apparent business scope was nothing unusual.

It seemed like just a producer of special commodities—paper not often used by vagrants.

Stock commentators later analyzed that the subtle surge stemmed from some fan playing a pun on a certain famous stockholder named Huang, categorizing it trivially as a "Huang stock concept."

However, this was unreasonable because after the rise, Yibin Paper Industry did not plummet sharply but remained stable for a long time.

It was slightly affected in the previous stock crash, but the drop wasn't substantial, and overall, the rises outweighed the falls.

Ren Zhong also carefully investigated Yibin Paper Industry and discovered an inconspicuous detail in the company's quarterly report.

At the bottom of all its products, there's a low-output "Blue Giant Sequoia Resin Gel."

This is an auxiliary by-product produced by evaporating and concentrating the washing liquid generated during the pulping of broken wood.

This gel is an additive required for the paint coating the surface of starry sky ships, significantly enhancing the ships' ability to shield cosmic radiation.

Ren Zhong further checked the report of a coating paint company under the Bas Group and found that the procurement price for Blue Giant Sequoia Resin Gel had substantially increased recently.

The logical connection between the two factors was established, revealing the truth behind the skyrocketing of Yibin Paper Industry's stock.

3. Liancheng Weiliang Liquor Group.

This stock was a major mid- to long-term investment that Ren Zhong manipulated.

He had once meticulously and seriously analyzed the logic behind the surge and crash of Liancheng Weiliang.

But now, combining the hazy hints revealed by Yang Bingzhong, Ren Zhong analyzed the situation of the company's capacity expansion and came up with a bold new hypothesis.

In the past month or so, after the stock price took a severe hit, the management of Liancheng Weiliang remained unfazed, proceeding with plans to lay out new production lines globally.

The main products of these new production lines aren't the high-end fruit wines favored by Citizens or well-off Professionals, but rather moderately priced and high-alcohol content spirits beloved by vagrants, substantial in volume and satisfying.

There's something new here.

Ren Zhong suspects that when the news hinted at by Yang Bingzhong can be publicly disclosed, vagrants on Source Star will enter a stage of "festive" mass consumption.

The high-alcohol spirits that numb the nerves, making people temporarily forget their troubles and live in a state of drunken stupor, will inevitably become the vagrants' favorite, also serving as the final bloodied sickle for reaping the vagrants.
