Big Data Cultivation

The help Yu Qingzhu's friends can provide isn't just limited to double counting of collateral; the account also has long-term financing options.

These accounts aren't openly Huaxia-owned accounts, but when the fund amount reaches a certain level, the source can't be hidden.

For these potential Huaxia-owned accounts, Sister Hua is willing to provide some convenience in financing, after all, Huaxia citizens are now wealthy big players, and Sister Hua is very much coveting these funds.

Of course, generally speaking, a leverage ratio of one to ten is out of the question, but for long-term financing options, leverage ratios of one to two or one to three are no problem at all, no special approval needed—you just have the authority.

For example, with a one-to-one leverage taking long positions, you'd only get a margin call if the stock price halves, so the risk isn't too big.

Yu Qingzhu's friends also mentioned that if you're willing to provide more collateral, the Huaxia side can also help you with financing.

But this is actual financing, not linked with leverage—in essence, more collateral means more funds can be borrowed; it's fundamentally still borrowing.

The details of the stocks don't need to be elaborated on, simply put, the US stock account is ready, US dollars aren't lacking, as long as there's collateral, you can borrow as much as you want, even two to three billion is possible.

Alright, two to three billion US dollars is a bit exaggerated, Yu Qingzhu really doesn't have that much clout, but the other party said—ten billion US dollars, guaranteed to be available upon request, more than that... it would need to be reported to higher authorities.

"Ten billion US dollars..." Feng Jun pondered, "That's over sixty billion Huaxia currency, thirty tons of gold would suffice, if I pledge three hundred tons of gold, can I borrow one hundred billion US dollars?"

"Uh," Yu Qingzhu was a bit dumbfounded, she knew Feng Jun had a lot of gold, thousands of tons even, but... is it really okay for you to be so high-profile? "One hundred billion US dollars would definitely alarm important figures, aren't we Luohua supposed to keep a low profile?"

How much is Huaxia's foreign exchange reserves in US dollars? Over three trillion, so let's consider it like a family with over three hundred thousand in savings.

Using one hundred billion US dollars would be like such a family spending over a thousand—it's a big purchase, at least the family members would notice.

But using ten billion US dollars is like spending one hundred—having a small drink with classmates outside, do you need to tell your family?

Feng Jun could understand her logic, and he agreed, but he had his own thoughts, "I also want to keep a low profile, but Bai Rui's market value exceeds a hundred billion dollars, a hundred billion is only seven or eight percent of the shares, what are we earning then."

Did you even learn business management? Yu Qingzhu suddenly felt a superior sense of intelligence, "If you want to short-sell Bai Rui, first you have to borrow stock to sell, seven or eight percent... that many stocks, the market makers also need to be willing to lend to you."

Feng Jun wasn't very familiar with the stock market, but he understood what she was saying, "Then ten billion is too little, only seven or eight per thousand, pledging eighty tons of gold, I should have no problem borrowing thirty billion US dollars, right?"

"Let's first pledge thirty tons of gold," Yu Qingzhu suggested, to be honest, she had quite a lot of insight in finance, "ten billion US dollars, with twice the leverage, that's enough for thirty billion... if there's a risk of a margin call later, we can add more."

Feng Jun thought it over, and it made sense, his calculations didn't even consider leverage, he was directly using self-owned funds to buy stocks.

After all, he didn't plan to earn much from this matter, he just wanted to drive Bai Rui's stock down fiercely, "Then you handle it, I have gold, first get that account to start short-selling... it takes a few days to borrow stocks too, right?"

You do understand a little about finance! Yu Qingzhu nodded, "Certainly, ten billion in short-selling isn't something that can be completed in a day or two, that's nearly one percent turnover... who to get the gold from, Zhang Caixin?"

Feng Jun glanced at her, feeling he should reprimand her a bit, "You should call her Senior Sister, she entered before you... just get it from her."

So that means I'm also initiated! Yu Qingzhu had been worried about her initiation—Elder Feng said that reaching the Qi Refinement Realm counted as entry, but she hadn't reached the Transformation Realm yet, hearing Feng Jun's words, she was not angry, but happy, "Then... what's the reason for the short-selling?"

"Reason?" Feng Jun smiled indifferently, "We'll fabricate the reason... you just focus on short-selling."

Elder Feng is truly domineering in some aspects, Yu Qingzhu couldn't help but think—short-sell the opponent, and even create your own reason... do you really take the Merrick stock market to be like the domestic stock market?

But she also knew that he had the ability to create a reason, so she went to make the arrangements.

It turns out, gold as collateral is the most attractive, it's recognized as a hard currency.

That day, in the Merrick stock market, Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' stock began to be shorted, because Bai Rui's market was particularly optimistic in everyone's eyes, even Sister Hua actively contacted—how about raising your leverage on Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' stock to one to four?

Sister Hua always aligns with the successful, when large funds initiated a war, they observed for a while, made some inquiries about the insider information, and found out that Bai Rui had no significant negative news recently, so they felt a two-to-one leverage was too little.

With low leverage, trading volume is low, and the transaction fees naturally decrease, anyone can calculate this account.

Moreover, they were actively helping Feng Jun to borrow stock—short term there couldn't be significant fluctuations, why not lend? Who gains or loses doesn't matter to them, they only earn the fees.

If the transaction volume isn't enough, they won't earn much from the fees, so they'd work hard to hype it up?

In fact, this phenomenon is Sister Hua's normal state. You can't say that because she shorted some stocks, she has insider information—Sister Hua is so big, silly investors pour in every day. Most of the time, earning commission is the king's way.

Large-scale hedging usually manifests in decisive battles. The current situation is far from that and doesn't qualify as creating waves.

Interestingly, on the same day, Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' stock rose another two percent, and no one knows why.

But Feng Jun wasn't leveraged fifty times; those two points didn't scare him. Instead, he requested to continue shorting.

The next morning, the people came to inspect the collateral. Zhang Caixin brought thirty tons of gold and placed it in a small courtyard under the Yu Family's name. The other party directly left twenty security guards to watch over it and asked out loud, "Can it be placed in the national treasury?"

For such a large amount of wealth, twenty security guards are still somewhat few. It would really be better to move it to a professionally guarded place.

Yu Qingzhu was very familiar with this, "Once it's in the national treasury, it's hard to take it out... Sister Zhang, it's up to you."

Gold, this thing, is very strictly controlled by the nation. If thirty tons of gold appear as collateral, do you really want to take it back?

"Put it wherever," Zhang Caixin smiled indifferently. She knew Feng Jun didn't mind these thirty tons of gold—in fact, three hundred tons, three thousand tons, it didn't matter, whether it could be redeemed didn't matter.

The only difference is that currently, this gold is collateral, and its valuation is not high enough. If a lot is harvested in the Mai Nation stock market and the collateral cannot be reclaimed, one can only collect more US Dollars or Huaxia Currency.

With gold as collateral, loans on the other side were even faster.

On the next day, Mai stocks began, and Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals opened with a gap up, rising more than one percentage point, then started a tug-of-war at this position. Later, even though the main stock market fell, Bai Rui's stock still held strong.

On the third day, Mai stocks had two consecutive declines, and Bai Rui's stock continued to hold strong, even rising against the trend at one point, but eventually fell back a little.

The person managing the operations for Feng Jun sent news claiming that stocks were difficult to borrow. Over three days, they had borrowed only more than six hundred million worth of stocks, less than five-thousandths of the total share capital.

However, after three days of operations, Sister Hua's team began to smell the flavor and attempted to carve out a piece from this account.

On the fourth day, Bai Rui's stock sourced up with increased volume, and that account borrowed over five hundred million worth of stocks, the holding ratio approaching one percent.

The fifth day... It was Saturday, and the stock market was closed. On this day, Feng Jun also disappeared. Ye Qingyi came to find him for the "mother liquor" but couldn't find him. Even the intercom within the manor could not reach him.

Beauty Lin heard about it, her face darkening a bit, "This guy... could he really have secretly gone to Mai Nation?"

On Monday morning, news finally came from the Mai Nation: Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals' laboratory was robbed, many research results were packed away— even the servers were stolen.

Bai Rui Laboratories immediately blocked the information, but someone in Huaxia knew Feng Jun was going to target Bai Rui, so they especially had people pay attention there and still received related news.

Beauty Lin also received a call in the middle of the night, and couldn't help but secretly exclaim in her heart, Feng Jun really isn't ordinary, flamboyant—clearly, this is typical Luohua fashion behavior.

But what surprised her even more was that on Monday morning, Feng Jun suddenly appeared within Luohua Manor and called Mou Miao on his mobile phone, urging to rush another batch of Boiler Camel Motorcycles and stated that it's likely this business wouldn't last much longer.

The voice was indeed Feng Jun's, the mobile phone signal indeed inside the manor, and shortly after, his voice came through the intercom again, expressing that Chen Keqing was about to break through, everyone should help share the manor guarding duties.

Beauty Lin was truly puzzled—since Feng Jun was still in Luohua, then who was the one causing a commotion in Merrick?

Monday stock market opened in Mai Nation, and Bai Rui Pharmaceuticals held strong again, rising five to six percentage points at one point, and the trading volume expanded again.

Feng Jun was somewhat confused. But now Yu Qingzhu's cultivation also reached a critical point, so he went to ask Yang Yuxin for information—such a big event happened, would the Mai Nation stock market conceal the news?

Yang Yuxin didn't understand this either, but she could ask people, and given her status, there was no need to report specific stocks.

Then she got the standard answer: Emergency situations for Mai Nation listed companies may also be reported late or concealed.

For example, the matter might involve Guo Family's safety, or for another instance, the police willing to prove that delaying could aid in solving the case.

Actually, the simplest reasons could work—Bai Rui Company is currently calculating losses...
