43: Future Economic Trends 2

"Miss, Young Master Shi has arrived."

"Mm, let's talk in the study." Gao Ying put away her computer, stood up, and headed toward the study.

Xi Yan and his sister, along with Lou Jingyao and his sister, returned to their rooms to call their families about the N Country situation.

As the intermediary, Fu Sheng followed them into the study.

After the introductions, Shi Jun stated his terms directly: "Miss Gao, Young Master Fu should have already told you about my situation. Our family is going to the United States to develop, so we are selling off all our domestic assets. For this building, we only accept a one-time payment; we do not accept installments."

"Mm, 50 billion is fine; I wasn't planning on installments anyway." Gao Ying looked at the contract he had brought and spoke with indifference.

Shi Jun was choked up by her indifferent demeanor; he suspected that this Miss Gao might have misheard.

Thinking she heard 500 instead of 50 billion.

"You don't need to be so surprised; 50 billion is pocket change to her." Fu Sheng looked at him and said.

Shi Jun signed the contract in a daze, and the money arrived in his account shortly after.

Looking at the girl across from him, who was even younger than himself, Shi Jun began to doubt life.

"Young Master Fu, could you have come up with this 50 billion all at once?"

Fu Sheng's hand, which was searching for information, paused: "I could, but it would take a month of preparation."

Once the matter was concluded, Shi Jun left, as there were still many things waiting for him to do.

"Hello, I've already bought the company. You can decide how to develop it yourself." Gao Ying called Xia Yang and sent him the contract.

"Sister, you bought Dingsheng Tower?" Upon seeing the company address, Xia Yang was shocked, even though he had been mentally prepared.

Dingsheng Tower was an asset of the Shi Family in the Demon City. Recently, the Shi Family's businesses had been facing a string of setbacks, so the building was put up for sale.

Xia Yang had been preparing to start a company recently, so he had heard some rumors that it would take 50 billion to purchase the building.

It wouldn't even accept multiple payments. Seeing the contract, Xia Yang was happy that his sister had such great strength.

Yet, he also felt that he was drifting further and further away from his sister, and he didn't know when he would be able to stand by her side.

"Mm, I just happened to have an acquaintance broker it. This building is decent, so you can use it for now. If you don't like it, I'll buy another one."

"No need, this building is very good. But should the name be changed?" Xia Yang hurriedly stopped her from continuing her spending spree.

"Let's call it Yingyang Tower. What do you think?"

Gao Ying hadn't planned on changing the name at first, but thinking that it was now her property and still carried a name someone else had given it, she felt uncomfortable.

She thought for a moment and decided to use a character from her own name and one from Xia Yang's name as the new name for the building.

When Xia Yang heard the name she had chosen for the building, his heart rate quickened, and his face quickly flushed red.

Did his sister have feelings for him? Is that why she used both of their names?

"Thank you, Sister." Xia Yang expressed his gratitude with an excited, slightly choked voice.

"What are you thanking me for? You'll be managing most of the company from now on, and I'm busy here, so you'll be the one working harder. By the way, how much capital do you have right now?" Gao Ying prepared to take him along to buy crude oil stocks.

"I have 3.57 million here." Xia Yang told her all his assets.

"How about this: I'll lend you 7 million to make it 10 million. I have a project here in a couple of days; if it succeeds, your assets will increase tenfold, or even more. But there are risks, so you should consider it yourself."

"I'll do it. As long as it's a project Sister is doing, I'm in." Xia Yang didn't hesitate for a second.

"Aren't you afraid that you'll get trapped in it?" Gao Ying asked with a smile.

Being firmly chosen by someone—this feeling was truly nice.

"Everything I have was given by Sister, so as long as Sister says the word, I'm willing to do anything." Xia Yang said this sentence very seriously.

"When I'm done with this matter, I'm going to the Demon City. Will Boss Xia have time then?" Gao Ying wanted to go to the Demon City to have fun, and secondly, since she had started a company, she, as the legal representative, certainly had to go and take a look.

"I'll have time. If Sister is coming, I'll definitely have time." Hearing that she was coming, Xia Yang stood up from his chair in excitement.

This caused his chair to fall to the ground with a "bang."

"Alright, wait for me." Seeing Xi Yan and the others enter, Gao Ying hung up the phone.

"This is all the liquid capital of the Xi Family." Xi Yan took out a check and placed it on the table.

"This is the Lou Family's." Lou Jingyao also took out a check.

Fu Sheng didn't speak, he just pushed his check over.

Gao Ying looked at the checks.

The Lou Family had 50 billion, the Xi Family had 70 billion, and Fu Sheng's was the same as Xi Yan's.

"I am very happy to have your trust, but this opportunity is huge, and the risks are equally high. You don't have to invest everything."

With the help of Fugui, Gao Ying would be fine even if she lost everything.

But they were different; if they lost, their status would plummet.

"So what if we lose? We're young anyway, we can just start over." Lou Jingyao said nonchalantly.

Seeing the trust on their faces, Gao Ying laughed from the bottom of her heart.

"Since I dared to ask, I won't let you down."

Xi Yan and the others caught a flight back in the afternoon, leaving only Fu Sheng here to wait for the medicine.

For the major event 72 hours later, Gao Ying had Fugui create the optimal short-selling strategy.

Gao Ying spent most of her time in the study over these two days.

Two days passed quickly. During these two days, Gao Ying heavily shorted crude oil prices and also took positions on related airline stocks.

【200 billion in capital used to set up the position; current target: 1:0.57, stop-loss: 1:1.5, margin monitoring enabled.】

72 hours later, an emergency news report exploded across the global market like a bomb.

【Breaking: The leader of the N Country oil fields died suddenly this morning for unknown reasons; the oil fields have ceased operations, and oil prices have surged significantly.】

Gao Ying watched the trading screen on the system panel; the numbers representing profit were skyrocketing at an unprecedented speed, and she felt very excited.

【Warning! Warning! Market liquidity has dropped sharply, exchange rate has rebounded to 1:1.7; suggest adding capital, ignore fluctuations, hold positions!】

Gao Ying added another 50 billion without hesitation.

Watching the closing position approach, Gao Ying ordered a full liquidation.

The trading order was executed instantly, and the final profit settled at a breathtaking figure.

Gao Ying started with 150 billion in capital and ended up with 225 billion.

Xi Yan and Fu Sheng each received 119 billion!

The Lou Family received a final total of 85 billion!

Because of Gao Ying's support of 7 million, Xia Yang's initial capital was 10 million, and he ended up with 27 million!

This didn't even include the airline stocks she had traded on the side.

Yin Lin had been guarding outside the door the whole time. Today was very important for Ying'er, who had just started getting involved in the stock market.

That was why he had to guard outside the door; in fact, these matters were not a problem for the Hidden Guards.

At the beginning, it wasn't as if he hadn't suggested letting them take over.

But in the end, she was rejected by Ying'er. Her tone was very serious: "With Fugui and all of you here, I feel very at ease, but I cannot rely on you too much. There are some things I still need to handle personally. Being a slacker is comfortable and is also my dream. But after a long time, I would get bored. Since that's the case, I might as well tense up for a period and relax for a period; that way, my life will be more wonderful."
