Chapter 171: Openly Repair the Walkway but Secretly March Through Chen Cang; As the Path Rises One Foot, the Devil Rises Ten_2
"I believe the next two days are a critical turning point for Starry Shipbuilding. At the earliest tonight, at the latest tomorrow, Starry Shipbuilding will experience a fairly significant pullback."
Yang Bingzhong frowned, "How large of a scale?"
Ren Zhong: "The expected drop won't be less than 20%."
"Should I clear my positions then?"
Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "No rush, from now on, I'll maintain a high intensity of market monitoring. If there's any urgent situation, I'll share my actions with you immediately, Mr. Yang. You can just follow along. As long as I manage precisely, we can naturally profit right down to the last copper coin. And then..."
Yang Bingzhong's breath gradually quickened, "And then what?"
"The fundamentals of Starry Shipbuilding are as solid as a rock. This round of pullback is the last large-scale shakeout by the big players. The sudden drop will wash out most of the small investors with lower psychological endurance. Once it stabilizes, it'll definitely usher in an even more aggressive surge! By then, we will have already completed the entire operation of selling high and buying low! The allure of the stock market lies in this! Facing a leading stock like Starry Shipbuilding, unless the capital we leverage is already in the trillions, elevating from a retail player to a big player, we'll be forced into the next level of capital game. Before that, we can justify enjoying the asset multiplication brought by extreme operations!"
Yang Bingzhong's eyes lit up, "That makes sense!"
Ren Zhong sighed again, "Alas, it's a pity, Mr. Yang, that all your funds are now in positions, exceeding 1.1 billion. Clearing positions takes time, and if you were to reverse into short selling, it would take time to find someone to take over. This time lag would already greatly reduce the profit margin; otherwise, a wave of instant transition from holding positions to shorting would earn even more."
Yang Bingzhong generously waved his hand, "It's fine, we've already earned plenty. I'm satisfied."
Ren Zhong: "Mm. Mr. Yang, your mentality is indeed suited for trading stocks, and you've learned fast."
"That's because you taught me well." Yang Bingzhong grinned proudly, "So, let's watch and see what happens next. Ren Zhong, you can go to my private office upstairs. I've had a Ghost Particle Communication Device installed there, the network's most stable. Just focus on monitoring the market, and I'll give you the best treatment!"
Ren Zhong nodded and rubbed his hands together, "Uh... Mr. Yang, what about Captain Tang? I'm quite fascinated by her. I wonder if Captain Tang could keep me company while I'm watching the market. Captain Tang's voluptuous figure can maximally activate my cognitive agility, this..."
Yang Bingzhong smirked to himself, saying, "Not during the day, wait until tonight. Tonight, I'll have her come to keep you company and let you have your fun. I have a few other ladies..."
Ren Zhong quickly waved his hand, "No need for that, Mr. Yang. I'm only interested in Captain Tang's body recently. If it's not her, I would rather not touch any girls. I'm quite a faithful man."
"Faithful?"
"Uh, during some fixed periods, I'm only sincerely devoted to one woman, isn't that counted as faithful?"
Yang Bingzhong couldn't help but laugh, giving Ren Zhong a thumbs up, "That's just like you. Alright, go on."
"Mm!"
Ren Zhong went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Yang Bingzhong directly contacted the branch manager of Alson Bank in Liao Yuan County.
The other party was stunned after hearing his intention, exclaiming, "Mr. Yang, you worked so hard to get the development rights for Chromium Carbon Town and now you want to mortgage them all at once? For what?"
Yang Bingzhong laughed heartily, "No need for your concern, I have my own plans."
The other party continued, "Mr. Yang, you surely aren't also eyeing the tickets for Starry Shipbuilding? It's deep waters there! I only dare to watch the fun and maybe buy a few shares for some profit, but you're betting too big. The combined valuation of Starfire Resources' fixed assets and the twenty-year development rights of Chromium Carbon Town is 5 billion, with your Citizen Level, you can lend up to 4 billion. Playing this big isn't advisable, is it?"
Yang Bingzhong flatly denied, "Nothing of the sort. The market has risks, and the principle of caution when entering the market—I certainly understand that. I started with the stock market back then. Alright, just approve the loan. I have enough collateral assets on my side, I won't make you end up with bad debt. Later, whatever's owed to you won't be missing a penny."
"Alright!"
About an hour later, the mortgage loan contract was established, and a whole 4 billion funds were deposited into Yang Bingzhong's account.
Mr. Yang then immediately placed this 4 billion into the financing and securities account of a private equity fund, leveraging 5 times, transforming it into a ready reserve of 20 billion.
Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
Gamble a little and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Mr. Yang thanked the heavens in his heart for arranging a pullback for Starry Shipbuilding.
This was a blessing from above!
His chance to make amends had come!
Mr. Yang thought that Ren Zhong's judgment might not be 100% accurate, but that didn't matter.
As long as the trend aligns, it was just a matter of how much to earn.
There was no way they could lose.
Even taking a huge step back, even if the short failed, if it really blew up the account, wasn't there still the Alien Ore to fall back on?
Once the Alien Ore was sold, the debt could still be repaid.
Adding the cash from liquidating positions, he'd at least have several billions in cash on hand.
As long as Ren Zhong was around, he could always make a comeback, what did he have to fear?
...
One and a half hours later, Starfire Resources' airship successfully arrived at Chromium Carbon Town and slowly descended.
With a slight tremor, the airship landed steadily.
Yang Bingzhong knocked on the door of Ren Zhong's office and said, "Ren Zhong, you're on your own here. I have some production line matters to attend to. As for your team members, I've already had them settled into the villa area. Although you're not a Citizen yet, some rules can be bent as long as the money is in place."
"Mm! Thank you, Mr. Yang!"
"Alright, carry on."
...
Eleven thirty at night.
Yang Bingzhong stood with a grim expression behind a Qingfeng Heavy Truck's container.
His good mood, which had lasted all day, abruptly sank to the utmost extent.
Inside was only a blue Series Three motorboat belonging to Ren Zhong, and nothing else.
He pointed angrily at the carriage, turned to glare at Tang Shuying beside him, "Where are the boxes? Where's the cargo?"
Tang Shuying looked confused, "Mr. Yang, I don't know!"
"You're the driver of this truck! And now the stuff disappears into thin air! Don't tell me you don't know?"
Slap!
Yang Bingzhong gave Tang Shuying a harsh slap.
Tang Shuying clutched her face, shrinking back and not daring to look at him, only meekly saying, "Mr. Yang, I was just following your orders to drive this truck. This is Ren Zhong's truck, and you personally handed it to me. I never opened the container throughout the journey. I don't even know what's inside. I... I truly have no idea what happened!"
"That doesn't concern me! All I know is that the goods are gone! I trusted you so much! How dare you..."
Without any visible movement from Yang Bingzhong, the Spider Tank beside him turned its turret, aiming straight at Tang Shuying.
The massive barrel was pulsating with energy halos.
The energy detectors of the Mechanical Warriors present registered readings soaring above 80,000.
Simultaneously, the loading boxes on the side and rear of the Spider Tank opened.
Various fist-sized flying machines, each with different shapes, floated out, hovering around everyone, exuding murderous intent.
The Fourth Level professionals who had been with Yang Bingzhong for at least three to four years, and at most seven to eight years, gasped in shock.
They finally understood Mr. Yang's profession and level.
War Artist!
Fifth Level!
This gentleman was truly the top expert in Starfire Town!
He hid it well!
