Chapter 602: The Bow is on the String
Compared with Yang Nuannuan, Chen Yan's mentality is much calmer and he also feels much more wronged.
After all, although Yang Nuannuan’s imitation of his “mystification” did cause him some trouble, Chen Yan really didn’t think of using the golden finger to fight back.
On the contrary, his only feeling was that using Yang Nuannuan was too convenient.
In addition to the time saved as mentioned earlier, he also found that operating the account himself was too conspicuous.
Because he was the account opener and trader himself, once you check the transaction details of stocks, gold and oil, you will find that it was him who did it.
Financial companies can operate through multiple shells, making their operations more secretive.
So, although this was the time when Chen Yan withdrew the most cash , and it did cause a significant fluctuation in the world gold price, it did not attract much attention...
In addition to withdrawing cash, in the past few months, Chen Yan has also begun to gradually promote his own games, film and television works around the world through cooperation with Netflix and Valve.
Because Chen Yan's company's works are of high quality, these dramas received very good responses once they were released in overseas markets.
Especially in East Asia, the sphere of influence of Chinese civilization, because of the common cultural origin, it is even more popular.
Coupled with the continued popularity of the international version of Douyin, for a time, in the eyes of outsiders, the overall strategy of the Chen Group has completely shifted to overseas.
After all, compared with the booming overseas business, the domestic business of several companies of the Chen Group has been shrinking continuously.
This was partly due to policy suppression, but also partly due to deliberate actions by Chen Yan.
He wanted to create such an effect to paralyze Zhao Qingtian...
Then he paved the way for his next plan to destroy Zhao.
…
At the same time, in Tiandu, Zhao Group, the chairman's office.
Zhao Qingtian sat behind his boss's desk, looking at a document in his hand with a frown on his face.
Standing in front of him was his female assistant.
At this moment, she was standing in front of Zhao Qingtian tremblingly, not daring to speak.
After a moment, Zhao Qingtian threw the information on the table, looked at the assistant in front of him with sharp eyes, and asked indifferently, "Is this the result of your investigation?"
"The Chen Group is fully shifting its focus to overseas business?"
The female assistant said to Zhao Qingtian tremblingly, "Chairman. We have really investigated for a long time. He does seem to be focusing on overseas development now."
"In the past few months, he has been investing in overseas companies to expand his entertainment industry."
"In contrast, there has been almost no progress in domestic business."
“Not only are there no variety shows, movies, or TV series being filmed or broadcast.”
“Even TikTok has reduced its domestic advertising in the past few months. It is only because their products are so good that they can still maintain the same user growth as Smooth Hand. Otherwise, they will probably be left behind soon.”
"Besides, we really didn't find any other unusual movements from him."
"So... we concluded that he probably felt that he couldn't compete with us in China, so he decided to give up the domestic market."
After hearing what the assistant said, Zhao Qingtian was silent for a long time. He just had a gloomy face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In fact, after reading the information, he knew that what the assistant said was true.
But... is Chen Yan such a simple character?
Zhao Qingtian had not forgotten that Chen Yan usually looked harmless, so he secretly gave him a hard blow.
If he hadn't been quick-witted, he would have fallen into Chen Yan's trap.
Therefore, he really didn't believe that Chen Yan would really give up on the country and leave in disgrace.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qingtian couldn't help but waved to his assistant, indicating that she could go down and continue her work.
After the female assistant left, Zhao Qingtian stood up and walked to his floor-to-ceiling window.
Looking at the prosperous scenery of the imperial capital outside, Zhao Qingtian's heart was always with Chen Yan.
After thinking it over, he really didn't know how to judge Chen Yan's current behavior.
Is it really a retreat?
After all, a man of insight is a wise man.
Seeing that he couldn't beat me, he was not convinced, but he didn't want to fight me to death, so he went abroad to develop?
This explanation does seem to make sense...
Although Zhao Qingtian had "straightened out" everything rationally, for some reason, looking at the slightly gray sky outside the window, Zhao Qingtian always felt as if something was uneasy in his heart.
He always felt... as if something bad was going to happen.
…
At the same time. The financial company that Chen Yan came to last time.
The general manager's office was originally Yang Nuannuan's office.
As a result, Chen Yan has now taken over the position.
He sat in the boss chair, looked at Yang Nuannuan who was standing opposite him and said, "Nuannuan. How have you been implementing your plan recently?"
Hearing Chen Yan's question, Yang Nuannuan immediately perked up.
She originally wanted to keep it a secret, but then she touched her face which was "hurt by the beating" from Chen Yan, and decided to just say whatever she wanted to say.
So... Chen Yan heard the whole picture of Yang Nuannuan's plan for the first time.
According to Yang Nuannuan, Zhao Qingtian is indeed a man of many talents. He not only recruited a lot of talents in the financial field, but also chose crude oil futures, which has relatively low risks, for capital operation.
After all, crude oil is a physical thing that can be delivered upon maturity.
The Zhao Group already has crude oil business in China. If the crude oil is left in their hands, they can buy it back and then sell it to the Zhao Group to guarantee a bottom line.
In addition, they have previously used the means of "priority funds" and "subordinate funds", so the possibility of their asset loss in this fund will be very low.
But... even the most sophisticated program will have bugs.
No matter how perfect the plan is, there will always be omissions.
Yang Nuannuan happened to discover the loopholes in their fund.
Because this fund mainly engages in long-term investment business, it does not care much about short-term returns.
In addition, this fund was previously used by the Zhao Group to invest in Hong Kong stocks. So even though crude oil futures are traded 24 hours a day around the world, the working hours of this fund are only a magical 10 hours.
There is no one left behind or with the authority to close the positions.
In addition, since the crude oil business has low volatility, if you want to earn relatively high returns, you must use leverage.
Therefore, Yang Nuannuan discovered that as long as crude oil prices plummeted to a certain level after the fund staff got off work, Zhao Qingtian’s fund would suffer massive losses.
At that time, whether they continue to hold or close their positions decisively, their funds will shrink significantly, resulting in damage to Zhao Qingtian's part of the stolen money.
When Chen Yan heard Yang Nuannuan talk about her plan, he was actually a little confused.
After all, he had no idea about these crude oil operation records and rules.
Therefore, he still followed his original habit: pretending to be profound and keeping silent, without making any comments.
But after leaving the financial company and returning to the hotel, Chen Yan worked hard.
According to Yang Nuannuan's operating methods and the loopholes he discovered, he began to search for relevant information on the Internet, and then understood and deduced Yang Nuannuan's plan.
Because this matter is too important, after Chen Yan finished his own research, he anonymously sought consultation from several professionals to understand the feasibility of this plan.
In the end, he came to a mediocre conclusion after comprehensive assessment: the plan was definitely feasible, but... almost impossible.
After all, the price of crude oil futures has been relatively stable in recent years. Even when Chen Yan was frantically shorting the market before, it didn't fall too much, and it actually went back up afterwards.
But in order to realize Yang Nuannuan’s plan, the price would have to drop too much.
Especially when it happens when the other party has no time to react, it is even more difficult to do.
After understanding the situation of this plan, Chen Yan frowned a little, but he did not give up.
In the end, he asked Yang Nuannuan to write a plan and give it to him.
He planned to give Yang Nuannuan a chance: experiment with [Xiao Ha's Polaroid camera] to see if this plan was feasible.
When the plan reached Chen Yan, Chen Yan made some slight modifications himself, turning this revenge plan into an investment plan.
To put it simply, it means changing the purpose.
The original purpose of this plan was to make Zhao Qingtian lose all the crude oil fund, but now Chen Yan has changed it to betting against Zhao Qingtian's crude oil fund. He uses this plan to short Zhao Qingtian's crude oil fund and make enough money.
In this way, Chen Yan can see the system's judgment on this plan.
After modifying the plan, Chen Yan took a photo of the plan with Xiao Ha's Polaroid camera without hesitation, and then checked its potential.
The result surprised Chen Yan a little.
Because... this plan really works.
In other words, the system believes that this plan is achievable in "infinite time".
Then what remains is how to find this time.
So, Chen Yan began to fine-tune the plan and then took photos one by one.
That is to say, he now has Yu Qiaoqiao's "good things come in pairs" buff and Lu Man's "the center of attention" buff, plus the sufficient happiness value he has saved during this period of time, so soon, one photo after another appeared on Chen Yan's desk.
In the first photo, Chen Yan added a time range to this plan, from now to 10 years later.
He planned to verify first whether this was in the distant future.
If it really happens decades later, then he won't do it.
As a result, he was surprised that the plan was feasible within 10 years.
Therefore, Chen Yan shortened the time frame: within five years, within 1,000 days, within 500 days, within 300 days…
Finally, Chen Yan roughly locked down the time for this plan, which is about the next 7 months.
And within that day, the price of crude oil will plummet, enough to destroy Zhao Qingtian's fund.
Chen Yan didn’t know how low the price would fall, but... he still had another powerful weapon: [Cash Withdrawal].
As the most important function of the system, Chen Yan has never regarded [Cash Withdrawal] simply as a tool for cashing out.
As early as after obtaining the system, Chen Yan discovered that in addition to making money, the most important function of [Cash Withdrawal] is actually to predict the future and obtain future information.
For example, a few years ago, Chen Yan used cash withdrawals to know that the capital chain of Qindao Fenghua Group was about to break. For example, when he was in Gangcheng, Chen Yan used cash withdrawals to know that there might be big problems with crude oil and that the world situation might have big changes.
Such an effect has had a significant impact on many of Chen Yan's decisions.
And now, using this "function" in reverse is the same.
After Chen Yan knew that there would be a sharp drop in crude oil futures in the next seven months, he could withdraw cash continuously during that period, and then let the withdrawal system give him more specific time and value, and use it for planning...
By then, with the accurate price and time of the big drop, Chen Yan believed that the life continuation of Zhao Qingtian and the people around him for most of their lives would absolutely be wiped out.
Then, let’s see if they can still laugh.
Without this support, if they unite with their enemies, I believe the time to settle accounts with them will not be far away...
Thinking of this, Chen Yan's eyes couldn't help but become calm again.
"Wait, if you just wait patiently, you will be able to turn defeat into victory ..."
Chen Yan waited for seven months.
Perhaps because he had hope, Chen Yan did not find the days difficult.
Especially in the past seven months, the Zhao Group used the funds obtained from cash withdrawals to develop rapidly overseas, merge and acquire many well-known companies, and then continued to withdraw cash and grow stronger. He had no way to distract himself and think about Zhao Qingtian's affairs.
In the seventh month, when there were only about ten days left before the date calculated by Chen Yan, Chen Yan began to withdraw several hundred million of his accumulated professional wealth according to the plan.
With Yu Qiaoqiao's help, the withdrawal ratio of professional wealth is 4 times.
Therefore, Chen Yan's proposal is equivalent to raising 20 to 30 billion, which is no longer a small amount of money.
Chen Yan felt that if nothing had happened recently, the system would most likely provide him with information about the sharp drop in crude oil prices that day...
…
While Chen Yan was patiently preparing to lose all the money of Zhao Qingtian and those around him.
At the same time, Tiandu.
In that shabby office, the middle-aged man called Lao Du was also holding a small meeting.
"According to investigations, Zhao Qingtian has indeed been in close contact with many people over the years, including some who have great influence in the local area."
"And through visits and evidence collection, we have also obtained a lot of key evidence."
