Chapter 792: Chapter 325: Taking Action! (Part 3)

After having dinner, the two of them went to the garage.

Only then did Li Yang ask, "Master Jiang, don’t you want to stay home and feed the child?"

"Well... you can’t spoil the kid too much, missing a few meals isn’t a big deal. Besides, this time there are probably lots of items to check, and you probably don’t trust the numbers others provide, so I’ll come help you."

"Sure!"

Li Yang didn’t quite understand what Jiang Banxia was thinking, but getting out for some fresh air might do some good.

Since many cars weren’t allowed to enter the city freely, most were left at the highway exits. Green Water Group even set up a temporary warehouse there, with staff on standby 24/7.

Li Yang arrived there, then called Qi Jialiang. A few minutes later, Qi Jialiang came over to take Li Yang to conduct the inspections.

There was already an inventory list, and the signing units had to provide receipts, making it quite difficult to fake anything in this regard.

The main concern was whether Qi Jialiang might use some other tricks or have ulterior motives.

Things like repackaging to shortchange or under-deliver.

With such large volumes every day, skimming a little bit could easily amount to tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Li Yang inspected the entire site and found no related issues.

He proceeded to randomly check some items, and overall, everything matched expectations.

He wasn’t necessarily trying to find problems; he hoped there wouldn’t be any.

The main worry was that the longer Qi Jialiang was in charge, the more he might succumb to the temptations found within.

After all, it was a temporary project, lacking rigorous oversight and a fully developed system.

Especially in the case of protective gear, given the massive production daily, large quantities were shipped out each day. A box usually contained several hundred to a thousand items, and a discrepancy of a few dozen wouldn’t be noticeable; even the signing units wouldn’t check each one.

Those things weren’t valuable to Green Water Group, but if someone sold them for high prices, it would severely damage the company’s reputation.

Executing this task wasn’t easy. Once the decision was made, everything had to be done perfectly, leaving no room for criticism.

After staying for about four hours, Li Yang finally drove Jiang Banxia back.

As soon as they got in the car, Jiang Banxia tore off her protective suit, lowered the car window, and let the cold wind rush in.

She wasn’t just craving the air, more so the sensation it brought.

Although typically no one would stop her from going out, this time was different.

This time it was work-related; even if issues arose, there would be no accountability, nor any psychological burden.

The car drove all the way to Wanliu Capital’s garage, and the two of them, familiar with the process, carried their backpacks and checked into their usual room.

Just as Li Yang was about to tidy up a few things, Jiang Banxia hugged him from behind and called, "Honey..."

"Huh?"

"Nothing, just felt like calling you."

Turning around, Li Yang pinched Jiang Banxia’s cheek and said, "You seem a bit off, planning something naughty?"

"Haha, caught me. Want in?"

"Hmph, why not take what’s freely offered!"

...

The market opened on March 16th.

US Stocks were once again halted.

The previous Friday’s booming market fell back into a freeze.

The previous Friday, US Stocks’ trading volume broke 800 billion US Dollars, but on Monday it plummeted back to a trading volume of 400 billion US Dollars.

That day, Boeing dropped by 22 points.

Fortunately, on March 16th, US Stocks warmed up again. The S&P Index rose by four points, and the market trading volume exceeded 600 billion US Dollars.

Boeing fell by five points that day.

On March 17th, the market slightly dipped. Many investors saw this as the best timing to enter the market as it didn’t drop significantly, suggesting stabilization.

However, on March 18th, a major event occurred.

US Stocks were halted as it opened. After a 15-minute trading halt, it resumed, only to immediately head south, almost triggering a secondary halt, finally coming to a forceful stop.

A large amount of stock was sold during this period.

Jiang Banxia felt this was perhaps the last opportunity, but she wasn’t ready to unfreeze the account yet.

The account had short contracts worth several billion US Dollars. She wasn’t about to let go and wanted a major confrontation with Wall Street.

At this time, account funds began to gradually be settled. Chen Peipei’s side repaid 46 billion US Dollars in short contracts in one go today, frantically collecting shares in the market.

After repaying the contracts, the funds inside became available.

Seeing Boeing’s 19% drop, Jiang Banxia noted its market value plummeting to just over 60 billion US Dollars within days, and she began buying aggressively using other accounts.

Her aggressiveness was different from Chen Peipei. Chen Peipei would set prices and repay contracts in batches within these price ranges.

Generally, each transaction would be just a few million US Dollars, the larger ones only a bit over ten million US Dollars.

But she employed a swift injection of large sums of money, pushing 3 billion US Dollars to lift Boeing from 19 points underwater to just one point below the surface.

Yet, this wasn’t the end.

Without pause, she switched accounts once the funds were depleted, and injected another 2 billion US Dollars, directly elevating Boeing to five points above the surface.

The resistance grew here, as many who bought at the dip noted gains of over ten to twenty points and opted to take profits.

Fearing Boeing might drop significantly again the next day.

In this position, Jiang Banxia considered nothing else; she just needed to acquire shares.

Prior to this, Wanliu Capital’s public account had cleared its holdings and openly acquired Boeing shares.

Boeing’s market value was driven from over 60 billion US Dollars to over 80 billion US Dollars.

In stark contrast to the overall US Stocks which were nearly triggering a secondary halt, Boeing was suddenly skyrocketing.

Unknowingly, Li Yang and Jiang Banxia combined to secure 10% of Boeing’s shares.

Simply because they split across several accounts, it didn’t trigger any disclosures.

The overt account currently only holds 2% of the shares, using a capital of 1.3 billion US Dollars.

By the end of the trading day, no significant issues occurred, and no other funds emerged to grab shares in the market.
