High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Li Yang: "..."

In a certain way, yes, indeed.

Chen Peipei not only helped him attract attention on the Bitcoin platform, but also helped him share the family pressure, which was not easy.

Thinking of this, he felt his previous anger subside quite a bit.

He even felt a tiny bit guilty towards Chen Peipei.

So, the next day, while playing with Bai Ye at the neighborhood kindergarten, Li Yang sat down next to Chen Peipei and started chatting.

Li Yang asked, "President Chen, how’s your gold purchase going? I saw the home safe is installed, but there’s no gold inside."

"It’s already being purchased, but transporting it back takes some time. The first batch should arrive by the end of the year."

"How much in the first batch?"

"Um... sixty tons."

Sixty tons of gold was already her largest volume.

But she was recently negotiating with a buyer who wanted some Bitcoin.

"Just that much? You were so confident before, I thought you could get a few hundred tons."

Li Yang’s remark annoyed Chen Peipei.

She immediately countered, "Try buying a hundred tons of gold from the market? There’s simply not that much trading volume. Every year, gold channels are fixed, and output increase is minimal, while consumption hasn’t decreased. Besides, I only got sixty tons from formal channels; there are other channels too. Recently, there’s a big gold trader who wants to negotiate with me, asking me to trade Bitcoin for their gold."

"Who is it?"

"A foreign organization, the first batch transaction is five tons of gold."

"Just five tons?"

"They have plenty, hundreds of tons aren’t an issue, but the platform doesn’t have that much Bitcoin, only a bit over fifty thousand coins, especially now that Bitcoin’s price is near eight thousand US Dollars, otherwise, five tons of gold wouldn’t be enough."

Li Yang perked up hearing this, "The other party really has that much gold?"

"Of course! They are also big clients of our platform, just too cautious to hold Bitcoin heavily from the market."

Li Yang considered and said: "Contact them, saying we can directly trade in US Dollars. I’ll take however much gold they have."

"But do you have that much US Dollar?"

"The currency platform does, just transfer the margin funds from those Bitcoin contracts."

"What!"

Chen Peipei felt Li Yang was crazy.

The currency platform’s relevant contract margin funds have recently increased quite a bit, nearing two hundred billion US Dollars.

If there’s an issue, the platform collapsing is minor, but she would face global assassination attempts with that much money.

"What’s there to fear? It’s not too much, just divert five billion US Dollars."

Chen Peipei: "???!!!"

Li Yang had thought about diverting this money before, but never had a chance.

Previously, there was indeed a good opportunity with the US Stock market, but his funds were already sufficient.

Any more funds injected couldn’t guarantee a safe exit of his money.

But next year, it’ll be fine. After consecutive circuit breakers in the US Stock market, even more funds can be injected, and there will be a wave of super market lasting one and a half years. In such a long time, in such a volatile market, even adding several billion US Dollars isn’t a big issue.

"Any problem?" Li Yang asked.

Chen Peipei sighed and said, "I need to discuss with Li Xiao."

"Hmm, call now."

Li Yang didn’t say much, as Li Xiao was the platform’s shareholder and the main focus of attention now.

Soon, Chen Peipei’s phone got through. After a brief talk, she handed the phone to Li Yang, "Li Xiao wants to speak with you."

Li Yang hesitated a bit but took the phone.

He’d usually avoid contacting Li Xiao directly, never answering calls.

But since Jiang Banxia could guess his identity, others probably had too.

Most likely, those not knowing the inside story would guess it was connected to Jiang Banxia, thinking he too was just a pawn.

Taking the phone, he laughed and said: "President Li, congratulations on making it to Forbes last year."

Li Xiao reluctantly said: "Brother, don’t tease me now. Even though I’ve got some money, compared to you, it’s nothing but a tiny fraction."

"No, no, no, I could never compare to you, President Li. I’m so poor now that I need to pawn my pants, just surviving on borrowed money. Well, actually, I want to borrow some money from you..."

Officially, Li Yang had nothing to do with the platform, so he had to use the word borrow.

Li Xiao certainly knew that Chen Peipei was acting as Li Yang’s agent, but didn’t dare to mention it.

Li Xiao replied: "Brother, you’re making this too formal. As long as the funds are stable, you can have however much you want."

"Don’t worry, if the funds have issues, I’d sell Wanliu Capital’s stock to cover it."

Li Xiao: "Then I’m relieved. Since it’s rare to talk over the phone, I’ve got something to ask you, is now a good time?"

"Sure, sure."

"It’s like this, I’m currently living in the United Arab Emirates and can’t go back. Do you have any way of allowing me to return? Being abroad, despite having some money, my greatest desire is still home."

Li Yang paused for a moment in thought and said: "Probably not possible for now, but... I’ll think of something, settle down and stay over there, don’t trust the conditions offered by the Americans."

Li Xiao was shocked, "You already know, brother? Indeed, the Americans contacted me, saying if I pay a ten-billion-dollar penalty, they wouldn’t pursue the matter. Honestly, I’m quite tempted."

"Haha, I may not know others, but I certainly know the Americans well. They deceive you into going there and then strike! Anyway, it’s up to you, is it my word you trust or their credibility?"
