Song Yaozhong looked at the card Jiang Feng had thrown at him and gulped. He couldn’t believe that this ordinary card contained the huge sum of 100 million yuan! After all, this was not the Jiang Feng he knew. He couldn’t believe that Jiang Feng had so much money. If he had so much money, he wouldn’t need to work for their company. Making 6,000 yuan a month would be a waste of his time!
He raised his head in shock and was about to ask about it to dispel the doubts in his heart. However, Zhang Qidong, who was standing aside, stepped forward and stuffed the bank card into his hand. “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and do it!”
There were only ten minutes left, and Zhang Qidong was much more anxious than Song Yaozhong. Song Yaozhong held back the questions he wanted to ask.
“Ah! Oh, right, I will!”
At the same time, he realized that his words were incoherent and nodded repeatedly in agreement. As he looked at Jiang Feng, the doubts in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Previously, he had heard everyone say that Jiang Feng had lost 10 million yuan, which had been all his assets. But now, it seemed that everything was different.
Jiang Feng was calm and seemed to be at ease, and his pitch-black eyes were unreadable. Besides, he was sitting in the boss’ chair. How was he a prodigal son? However, the situation was urgent, and there was no time for him to think too much about it.
Holding the bank card, Song Yaozhong immediately turned around and ran to the door. He wanted to do his job immediately. With 100 million yuan, they would definitely be able to survive.
However, just as he ran to the door, Jiang Feng’s voice was heard behind him. “Director Song, wait.”
Hearing the voice behind him, Song Yaozhong stopped in his tracks and looked back with a puzzled expression. “Jiang… Director Jiang, is there anything else you want to tell me?”
“To do this, you only need to take one million. The rest of the money will be spent on the pork investment.
“Also, all the money invested will be leveraged up to ten times maximum!” Jiang Feng said casually with a cup of tea in his hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Qidong and Song Yaozhong were both stunned on the spot. They looked at each other before their eyes fell on Jiang Feng. They were dumbfounded when they saw Jiang Feng drinking tea calmly!
In the past few days, the two of them had been watching the market trends day and night. The price of pork had plummeted, falling from 19 yuan to 12 yuan! They had paid tens of millions of yuan, but they still hadn’t gained anything. Now that they finally had Jiang Feng’s 100 million yuan, they could hold on for a little longer and perhaps get through it successfully. Unfortunately, Jiang Feng had only told him to take out one million yuan.
If he invested one million yuan, it would at most last a bit more than an hour. Then, the market would close. Not to mention that Jiang Feng still had to invest the remaining 99 million yuan and increase the leverage 10 times! He wouldn’t be able to hold on for five minutes with one million yuan. As long as the price fell slightly, all the investments would be gone instantly! The money that he had just taken out would evaporate completely in the blink of an eye.
Both of them looked at Jiang Feng with fear in their hearts. They didn’t understand what Jiang Feng was thinking. How could he make such a reckless and blind investment? The two of them broke out in a cold sweat. They were stunned by Jiang Feng for a moment, so much so that they couldn’t even speak.
Jiang Feng, who was sitting in the boss’ chair drinking tea, already knew this. He wouldn’t do anything to lose money. Just now, he had already seen the current position of the company and the trend of pork prices. Combined with this information, he had carefully calculated everything.
He had invested 100 million, so using one million to cover their position was more than enough. After a few minutes, when the stock market price was greater than 10,000, the price of pork would be affected and would begin to rise against the trend. Then, it would experience the biggest surge it had in almost two years. If he didn’t increase his leverage, he would be losing money. This wave would not only bring back all the losses that Zhang Qidong had suffered previously, but he could also use his 100 million to make a huge profit.
According to Jiang Feng’s calculations, he could make at least one billion this time. He hadn’t studied finance for nothing. He could calculate this roughly in his mind. While he was sitting, he looked like he wasn’t doing anything, but in fact, he had already calculated everything. This time, he had been presented with an investment opportunity that was hard to come by. Jiang Feng would definitely not let it go. If he didn’t earn one billion, it would be a waste of his talent!
The two men were stunned for a long time before they finally came back to their senses. Zhang Qidong started panicking. He took a few steps forward and said, “Director Jiang, the trend is so obvious now. Isn’t it too risky to add leverage to the investment?”
He knew that he was no longer the boss, but an employee of Jiang Feng. Therefore, he was very polite when he spoke to Jiang Feng. Even his wording was very careful. Song Yaozhong was also very worried. Although he was in a humble position, he still took two steps forward and reminded Jiang Feng in a trembling voice, “If you invest 99 million in one go and add ten times the leverage, that will be 990 million!
“I only have one million to cover our position. My job is too hard. I’m afraid I can only hold on for five minutes!
“No, it might not even be five minutes. Four minutes at most!”
As he spoke, he could not help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead with the sleeve of his shirt. Although this investment had nothing to do with him, he did not want anything to happen to the company. 100 million was definitely not a small amount of money. The rise and fall of the company depended on it, so he could not just do nothing.
As he heard the men’s words, Jiang Feng’s lips curled into a smile. His calculations were absolutely correct. After all, there was a reward system in place. However, their words made Jiang Feng nod silently. Although Zhang Qidong no longer had any power and was not the boss here, he still cared about the company.
As the financial director, Song Yaozhong was even more responsible. Even though he could see that the company was about to go bankrupt, he had still been willing to use his insignificant pension money to continue supporting the company. 500,000 was not much. In fact, investing it would not even buy them half an hour. But that was definitely hard-earned money that Song Yaozhong had accumulated for decades. Since he had contributed it to the company like this, come forward, and told the truth, he was a very good man. Although there were many people at this company who were total trash, as long as those in power and in charge of the money were good, everything would be fine.
Looking at the two of them, Jiang Feng waved his hand and smiled. “I know, but the money is mine. You just have to do as I say.”
Jiang Feng’s voice was not loud, but there was a trace of dignity in it that was quite heavy. When Song Yaozhong heard this, his expression turned ugly and his heart felt quite perturbed. He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Qidong. Seeing that he did not say anything to stop him, he could only nod. Then, he took the card and ran out of the office quickly, heading straight for the Finance Department.
…
After watching Song Yaozhong leave, Zhang Qidong closed the door again. He turned around and looked at Jiang Feng, his face full of worry as he sighed in his heart. After all, Jiang Feng was still too young, and this was a full 100 million. If he only spent the bare minimum, then he would fall below the support level of 11 yuan. Then, when the time came, he would take the money and slowly move it around and this investment would come back to life.
As long as he was a little more cautious, he would definitely make 80% certain that he would not lose money, even if he did not make money. However, Jiang Feng had invested a huge sum of 100 million just like that. He had even increased the leverage 10 times! No matter how rich he was, he couldn’t just risk it all like that! Based on this recent downward trend, he could already predict what was going to happen next. In less than half an hour, Old Song would run over to report the news of the liquidation. Then, everything would be over!
Upon thinking of this, Zhang Qidong became even more anxious and started pacing back and forth in the office. But what he didn’t know was that what was about to happen next would defy his understanding!
