Chapter 799: Chapter 327: Unwanted Child (Part 3)

"It seems like Jiang Banxia is going to win, but Wall Street isn’t just a pushover."

"Ha, ever since Jiang Banxia started buying stakes, winning or losing has become irrelevant! What’s happening now barely concerns Jiang Banxia, because everyone knows there are billions of US Dollars of short positions on Wall Street, and those short positions are going to be their demise!"

"How high are Wall Street’s short positions priced? At least over three hundred US Dollars, right? They still expect to make a profit."

"But the problem is, now everyone knows they have short positions, and won’t sell to them! Plus, retail investors in the market are still scrambling for shares. With those billions of US Dollars in short positions, how long will it take to buy them all bit by bit?"

"Anyway, no matter what, it’s not easy to make Wall Street lose money. On the other hand, Wanliu Capital has invested at least three to four billion US Dollars, which could likely go down the drain. It’s good to be rich; they can throw around hundreds of billions like it’s nothing. Unlike me, a nobody, who has to work half-dead just to make a hundred bucks a day."

"Alright, alright, we know you earn three thousand a month. This has nothing to do with you, nor did it cost you anything!"

...

Slowly, it reached four o’clock in the morning.

Jiang Banxia looked at Boeing’s stock price of two hundred and twenty US Dollars, which had surged 69% today.

She held two heavily weighted accounts, with the holding cost around one hundred and ten US Dollars. Selling at this position would double the profits.

At this moment, Li Yang asked, "Should we sell a portion?"

Jiang Banxia shook her head, "No, it’s too little profit..."

"Hmm? We barely had much capital to begin with, and we’ve already made enough at this point! If we keep going, they might not let us earn even this much."

In Li Yang’s opinion, cashing out now, Wall Street probably wouldn’t intervene, especially since a lot of retail funds have already come in. They certainly have strategies to deal with retail funds later.

And it’s not exactly exploiting retail investors. Most of those who got in today are unlikely to lose money.

"I can’t let Chen Peipei surpass me, can I?"

Jiang Banxia muttered quietly.

Li Yang said, "How much capital does she have compared to you...? If you had that much capital, you’d definitely make more money."

Jiang Banxia had mobilized just over one billion US Dollars, and if she called it quits now, she could pocket around one hundred million US Dollars, the margin was already very high.

She hadn’t laid the groundwork in advance, funds were relatively scattered, and she was operating with the same stock, making it even harder.

"I... want them to go bankrupt!"

"???????, fine, fine, play by yourself, I’ll allocate other funds."

Li Yang began to transfer other funds, including Wanliu Capital’s own funds, and those of the Extreme Shadow Group.

He still needed three billion US Dollars, with over four hundred million US Dollars used to acquire Boeing, and the rest to be supplemented to two and a half billion US Dollars.

Meanwhile, Chen Peipei was also rebuilding positions, constantly buying large-cap US stocks in the past two days.

Li Yang wanted to catch another rebound before the Federal Reserve raised interest rates.

These two market moves were connected, and this was his only chance to make big money.

Afterwards, it wouldn’t be as profitable; the decline following the interest rate hike would be quite slow, with limited profit margins. Especially for large capitals, it was just small change, and he might not even participate.

After being busy for a little while, the market closed.

After all the traders left, Jiang Banxia quietly walked over and turned off several monitors in the trading room.

"Hmm? What are you doing?"

Li Yang hadn’t yet reacted.

"Huh, doing something naughty!"

...

Jiang Baichuan hadn’t slept the whole night.

After all, he didn’t have work during the day.

He was anxious, really anxious...

All along, Jiang Banxia had never taken the initiative to confront Wall Street directly, which had kept him quite relieved.

It wasn’t necessary at all.

Best if she didn’t get targeted by those Wall Street folks.

But now, suddenly, both sides were at odds.

Especially Li Yang, that guy, exposed Kuai Pai.

Kuai Pai hadn’t been noticed by Western countries yet; domestically, it also appeared to be very low-key.

It was hoped that Kuai Pai could firmly establish itself and, to some extent, gain control over the media narrative in the West in the future.

All for what? To expose Kuai Pai over such a trivial matter?

He had called Li Yang several times but couldn’t get through.

"Should be off work by now, right?"

"Why so much dawdling?"

Finally, by five-thirty in the morning, Jiang Baichuan got through to Li Yang.

As soon as the call connected, Jiang Baichuan couldn’t help but scold: "What the hell are you doing? All for the sake of tens of billions, you exposed Kuai Pai? Do you realize how hard it is for our domestic social platforms to go global? You had such a good hand, and you ruined it over something trivial? How do you plan to continue from here?"

"Sir, why are you so angry early this morning? I’ll send you something to soothe your temper tomorrow."

"To hell with it! If there’s a problem with the account, you could have told me. We have official channels for coordination. Why did you suddenly start a fight?"

"It wasn’t without reason; it was clearly planned. I’m in the middle of a meal, so I won’t chat with you now. Let’s talk when I have time."

"Didn’t it occur to you what might happen after exposing Kuai Pai? The platform that you painstakingly operated would soon no longer be yours!"

There was a brief silence on the other end before Li Yang spoke, about a minute later: "Isn’t it because I believe in our country? If the US wants to forcibly take over Kuai Pai, the authorities won’t just stand by and watch, of course. And if they don’t care, then so be it, a child nobody wants naturally has no reason to exist."
