145: Earned 3.4 billion
Guo Yang had lost 30 million, and his heart ached, but he couldn't complain. After all, he was the one who had begged Tang Yin to let him invest together.
Guo Yang: "CEO Tang, a loss is a loss. Business naturally has its ups and downs; no one can predict the future. But when can I get the rest of my money back?"
At this moment, Tang Yin had no mind to deal with Guo Yang. He was too busy with his own troubles: "It's gone, all gone. The money can't be retrieved."
Guo Yang's heart tightened: "Chairman Tang, what do you mean?"
Tang Yin simply told Guo Yang directly: "Gao Shen and I have a private agreement. If this investment fails, the money I put in will be given to Gao Shen Investment for free."
Guo Yang's face instantly turned pale. 30 million was already painful enough for him, let alone 200 million!
For the first time in his life, Guo Yang stammered: "N-no, that won't do, Chairman Tang. That money is my entire fortune. Besides, you never told me about this contract before. If you had told me about this risk, I definitely wouldn't have invested."
When Tang Yin heard Guo Yang's words, he immediately exploded. What were his 200 million compared to his own 2.8 billion? "You yourself said that investment has risks. You came to me before investing; I didn't force you."
"That 200 million wasn't lost to me, but to Gao Shen Group. If you have the guts, go get it from Gao Shen Group yourself."
Tang Yin no longer cared about appearances. He still had to figure out how to account for his 2.8 billion. When Guo Yang heard this, he became agitated in front of Tang Yin for the first time.
"Chairman Tang, you can't trick me like this!"
Tang Yin sneered, his eyes suddenly sharp: "How did I trick you?"
Guo Yang felt as if he had suddenly sobered up under Tang Yin's gaze. The person in front of him was Tang Yin. If he offended him, he wouldn't have a good outcome.
He had no way to contact Gao Shen, and he didn't know if Tang Yin was telling the truth or not. But whether it was true or false, he could only swallow this silent loss himself.
Two days later, with the strong support of the wall street aunties, the price of gold returned to its former level.
Lu Qingyu had Qi Fei sell all the gold, ultimately making a profit of 3.4 billion.
The entire matter, from start to finish, took less than a week, and Lu Qingyu earned 3.4 billion. Qi Fei was utterly impressed with Lu Qingyu.
Wang Ning, Chen Ting, and Su Jixing all invested their assets with Lu Qingyu. Chen Ting invested the most, earning over 40 million. Su Jixing earned over 3 million, and Wang Ning, the poorest, still earned over 1.2 million.
They were all stunned when they saw the extra money in their accounts. They knew following Lu Qingyu meant making money, but they never expected to make so much.
Wang Ning: "Boss, from now on, I'll only work for you. Whatever you tell me to do, I'll do it."
Chen Ting: "Little brother, I'm not kidding when I say I'll leave you a share of my inheritance."
Su Jixing: "Qingyu, besides being an Agent, I'm also good at being a nanny."
Lu Qingyu: ...
Tang Yin lost 2.8 billion. Of course, only a few people knew about this. To outsiders, Tang's enterprise was still very powerful.
Their ban on Qingcheng Entertainment had not been lifted. Although Lu Qingyu had made money, the entertainment company's issues still needed to be resolved.
Early in the morning, Wang Ning came to Lu Qingyu for a meeting.
"Boss, the ban hasn't been lifted yet. The company's employees and artists are very worried. This can't go on indefinitely."
Lu Qingyu typed away on her computer, reviewing many documents, then asked Wang Ning.
"Do you know any journalists well?"
Wang Ning: "Yes, I know quite a few entertainment reporters."
Lu Qingyu: "Not entertainment reporters, but financial journalists."
Wang Ning had met one during his previous job: "Yes, boss, what are your instructions?"
Lu Qingyu: "Tang Yin invested 2.8 billion in Gao Shen Group this time. As far as I know, these Europeans and Americans are all vampires. They won't help Tang Yin unconditionally. They love to get something for nothing, and the gamble game is their invention. I estimate Tang Yin won't get that 2.8 billion back."
Wang Ning: "Holy crap, are they that ruthless?"
Lu Qingyu: "Tang Yin's Financial Company couldn't possibly get such a large sum of money all at once. It's highly likely he transferred it from the pre-sale funds of his Real Estate Group. Find a financial journalist and leak this news; they'll know what to do."
Wang Ning's eyes lit up. Financial journalists are best at analyzing and tracking this type of report. As long as the news is given to them, they will dig deeper themselves.
Tang Yin is a Big Fish; these people won't let him off.
If Tang Yin really misappropriated pre-sale funds, then this matter is huge.
Thinking of Tang Yin's impending fate, Wang Ning felt a faint thrill.
How could such good news be shared with only one person?
Wang Ning immediately found five financial journalists and casually informed them about Tang Yin investing 2.8 billion in Gao Shen Group and suffering a huge loss.
The financial journalists were incredibly excited when they saw this news. If it were true, they could become famous forever with this single piece of information.
So, the journalists collectively began investigating Tang Yin's company, visiting the owners of pre-sale homes sold by Tang's Real Estate.
Upon investigation, they discovered the matter was huge. Many houses for which deposits and down payments had been completed, and which should have started construction a year ago, had not yet broken ground. There were also many unfinished buildings.
Previously, some owners had united to petition, but the matter was suppressed. They had also tried to find local TV stations to report on it, but it was similarly suppressed.
The journalists quickly gathered evidence and then exposed the matter directly online, causing an uproar.
Tang's stock price plummeted. Tang Yin was still trying to figure out how to cover up the matter, but he didn't expect it to be exposed.
Now the trouble was much bigger. The incident was so sensational that it attracted an investigation from above, and it was no longer just a matter of a 2.8 billion deficit.
Qingcheng Entertainment's film crews were still filming as usual. During their lunch break, the actors chatted while eating.
"I heard our company has been banned. Do you think the movie we're filming now will still be released?"
"I don't know. All of the company's films and TV shows have been pulled from shelves. It seems the situation isn't very optimistic."
"Sigh, Qingcheng Entertainment is really a great company. I don't want to leave here."
"Let's take it one step at a time. Who knows what will happen next."
One actor was scrolling on his phone while eating and suddenly came across a short drama produced by his own company.
"Holy crap, everyone look! Our company's short dramas are on the streaming platform!"
Everyone immediately looked at the person who spoke. His phone was playing a short drama produced by Qingcheng Entertainment.
