They posted it upside down, and I'm actually not satisfied with it. - #374 - Chapter 372 We are all slaves to power

Jiang Yiling turned on a small desk lamp in the west house and sat by the bed, looking at Jiang Shu who was sleeping soundly.

She said she didn’t want Li Yuan to lead Jiang Shu, but she never stopped Li Yuan from continuing to play with him.

The reason is simple, she is also a vulgar woman.

Who in the world is good? Money, talent, and power are all irresistible.

She has never lacked money or power since she was a child.

But that is only from the perspective of the people around her. After all, there is no one who is obviously more powerful than her. Even if there is a slight gap, it is not big.

It’s like people only say that they don’t like money at all when they have money.

Only when you have the power can you dare to say that you only want to serve everyone.

Human beings have double standards deep down, and the reason for the double standards is that they have different stances.

Most people can reach their ceiling, and even if they feel unwilling to do so, they will accept their fate.

She is someone who has hit the ceiling since she was born. She is not unwilling at all and is completely at home in her own class.

She never thought that the future would be better.

Generally speaking, no money or power can move her, except feelings.

If I was with Li Yuan in the beginning because I had a twisted psychology and needed the affection provided by Zhou Juan and Li Wanhe, then now…it’s basically blind worship.

Worship of money and power.

She never thought that a person could achieve this on his own.

In this world, anyone can find a replacement, but he can’t.

There are many rich people in this world, some of them have many confidantes.

But it is almost impossible for those confidantes to be sincere.

This is also human nature.

Women are not willing to give up their men to others at all, unless it is purely for money, or the man is powerful and has to give in out of fear.

No matter what they were like in the beginning, the people around Li Yuan are basically not in it for money now.

Otherwise, the 50 billion would not have been rejected.

After all, if you stay with Li Yuan for a lifetime, you may not get 50 billion.

Song Jiajia? That was the exception, she was getting her own salary.

As for some of Li Yuan’s equity transfers, Lotus Trust was operating behind them and they all signed side agreements, which does not mean that they can really get that much money.

Of course, it is definitely not to appreciate Li Yuan’s talent or power.

Power? He has no apparent power at all.

As for talent, it has long been exhausted.

What really attracts everyone is desire and mystery.

The more time I spent with Li Yuan, the more I realized that his inner desire was like a raging fire. Even though it was already like this, it still did not weaken in the slightest. Instead, the fire grew stronger and stronger.

The future has a strong sense of mystery, just like opening a blind box. The opening is getting better and better, and there is more and more expectation.

Now that he has another child, Li Yuan devotes much energy to his child that most people don’t enjoy, adding another buff to this blind box.

From being scared at the beginning, she is now full of expectations.

She also had to open this blind box.

The material conditions are full, and the spiritual conditions are also quite rich. At this point in life, there is still something to look forward to, which is the mystery about Li Yuan.

Everyone is playing this blind box game of life, and Li Yuan is the protagonist.

…

Li Yuan subconsciously opened the bedside table because there was something he needed in it.

However, after groping for a while, I found that it was gone.

He clearly remembered that there was still a lot left.

At this time, he was ready to go.

Jiang Yiling must have hidden it. After all, a place that has not changed for so many years cannot suddenly disappear.

never mind!

rush!

…

When Jiang Yiling woke up, he found Li Yuan beside him.

It was only around six o’clock in the morning. She didn’t sleep well, but she just felt some movement.

After seeing it was Li Yuan, she nuzzled into Li Yuan’s arms and continued to sleep.

Li Yuan also fell asleep quickly.

Until ten o’clock in the morning, Li Yuan was in a daze and was woken up by Jiang Shu.

Fortunately, he didn’t feel angry when he got up, otherwise he would have gone crazy after only sleeping for four hours.

Jiang Yiling had just chased him to the door, with a look of helplessness on his face: “He was about to wake you up after eight o’clock, but I stopped him. In the blink of an eye, he ran upstairs again.”

The family members were all wary of Jiang Shu coming to call Li Yuan, and even told him several times to let Jiang Shu stay on the first floor.

As a result, a child of Jiang Shu’s age was lost accidentally.

After Jiang Yiling found out, he hurried upstairs, but it was still a step too late.

Looking at Li Yuan with bloodshot eyes, Jiang Yiling also felt distressed.

Li Yuan said: “It’s okay, it’s okay. I have to bear the sins I caused myself.”

After saying that, he picked up Jiang Shu with both hands and said, “Let’s go, Dad, go wash your face and brush your teeth. You go and call Zhou Mo first, and then we go out to play!”

“Dad, there is also Qin Sheng.”

“Huh? Is Qin Sheng still there?”

“Yes, his family has moved here, and I helped him move a lot of things this morning. Am I good at it?”

“Awesome, awesome, then everyone shouts! I’ll take the three of you skiing!”

There wasn’t much snow on the ground, it hadn’t fallen much.

Moreover, it has been extremely cold these two days, and the little snow has turned into ice.

So, it’s not skiing, it’s skating.

Half an hour later, Li Yuan was carrying a plastic basin, and the three little guys were wrapped tightly, all wearing thick hats and gloves.

Found a slope and started the day with a layer of ice on the surface.

“Dad, if you are not careful while skating, will you break your head?”

“Yes, no matter what you do in life, you have to be careful. But you don’t have to do it today, because I am here and I will protect you.”

“Then we can’t skate while you’re not around?”

“Who said that? You can skate when I’m not around, but at that time, you are the first person responsible for yourself. If something goes wrong, you can only bear the consequences yourself.”

“Then I’d better not give it up. I don’t have to be beaten because my father is at home.”

“But there will always be a day when dad is gone. Unless you never want to play such interesting activities in your life, you will have to face those difficulties sooner or later. When encountering difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind should not be to escape, but to Thinking about defeating it…”

“Awesome?”

“???, that’s okay, no problem!”

No matter what your belief is, it is a good thing to stick to it.

“Then if I don’t want to learn, how can I defeat it?”

“emm, I’m afraid this won’t work. You have to defeat the feather duster in your grandma’s hand, and even your father and I can’t defeat that feather duster…”

“Then if I surpass Dad, will I have the strength to defeat that feather duster?”

“right……”

Li Yuan did not dampen his confidence.

In his opinion, even if Jiang Shu surpassed him, it would be difficult to defeat the most powerful artifact in history.

Unless Zhou Juan is too old to lift the feather duster…

But when that time comes, no one can defeat it.

…

A few days after the New Year, things that were supposed to happen still happened.

This is the third black swan to appear since 2020.

The first black swan was Xinguan, the second black swan was the plunge in crude oil prices, and the third… war.

This incident is not unexpected, it can only be said that this time point is beyond everyone’s expectations.

Either it will break out in 2017, or it will become an unknown.

The anchor point of the unknown has chosen this juncture.

The whole world is shorting the ruble.

Li Yuan called Anna Shen and asked her to buy a large amount of rubles.

The foreign exchange market is also counterparty trading, which is no different from futures.

Only when someone sells the ruble contract can someone buy it.

A large amount of ruble selling caused the ruble exchange rate to plummet.

Anna Shen took over nearly three billion U.S. dollars in rubles in one day.

The entire market sold rubles worth tens of billions of dollars in one day.

The entire market was surprised. Who was buying rubles in such a large amount?

Especially related personnel.

Li Yuan was not a supporter of Da Mao. They and Da Mao essentially had a pure interest relationship, and they fell out with each other countless times.

Interested relationships, what kind of feelings are you talking about?

Therefore, Li Yuan did not pull too much, otherwise he could eat all of the more than 10 billion US dollars.

Only eat part of it to ensure your own profit margin.

This transaction used money from the family fund and is also the source of all the income of the family fund this year.

At the same time, Bitcoin also began to plummet.

Obviously, Wall Street can’t bear it anymore.

For two consecutive days, Bitcoin fell more than ten points.

The trading volume is not low, but judging from the market, not much money has escaped on Wall Street.

At this time, it is best for Wall Street to contact those tens of billions of dollars in short orders.

Short orders require chips, and they have a lot of chips.

Can reduce the maximum amount of chips at the minimum cost.

But no matter what, I just can’t get in touch.

This feeling was all too familiar to them.

There is no one in the world that they cannot contact, except Li Yuan.

Because Li Yuan would find an answerer who couldn’t understand English.

In mid-March, Wall Street finally called Li Yuan.

At this time, the price of Bitcoin had dropped to $30,000.

At this position, Wall Street’s remaining bargaining chips are equivalent to being locked up.

In addition, when they were smashed before, in order to stabilize the market, they took in nearly 20 billion US dollars at the position of 60,000 US dollars. These 20 billion US dollars have not yet been released.

It’s the same as losing money.

They have to come out because the U.S. dollar is about to raise interest rates.

It was forced to raise interest rates early, and it only happened in the past two days.

Only they know this action.

Li Yuan refused to answer the call and left the phone with Ana Shen.

She was told to wait for Wall Street to call again and she would be responsible for answering it.

Let Ana Shen negotiate terms with the other party first.

You must take it. After all, if you hold such a large short contract, you need to pay a lot of interest, and there is also a lot of restricted margin.

Wall Street has no way to shut down Bitcoin unless it closes the channel for the U.S. dollar world currency.

Fortunately, in the U.S. stock market, they can target certain stocks.

With a little effort, the brokerage firm can restrict the processing of all the accounts associated with Li Yuan’s chips.

However, the amount of the project was too large, and Li Yuan’s capital account was very scattered, so it was theoretically feasible.

It’s like installing an elevator on Everest.

The conditions he asked Ana Shen to negotiate were very simple. He did not deliberately lower the price. He was willing to accept it for US$30,000.

After all, only by letting Wall Street lose a little less will they spend money at all costs, all the way up to more than 10,000 US dollars.

His current short positions have reached 70 billion U.S. dollars, and the average price is around 60,000 U.S. dollars.

If you take over 10 billion US dollars at 30,000 US dollars, the rest will be taken over at more than 10,000 US dollars.

This operation has no technical content as a whole, and there is not too much gaming. It is just that the needs of both parties are inconsistent, and the other party has not expected that things will suddenly be out of control.

If you give them another three months, they will definitely be able to generate tens of billions of dollars, and there will be no loss on the whole. Naturally, there is no need to come here to find Li Yuan.

Of course, there will definitely be other conditions discussed, and he must need ASML’s most advanced photolithography machine…

They definitely won’t give it to me…

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the conditions can be negotiated or not. What matters is telling others what you are lacking.

On March 15, Li Yuan had his first phone call with Bills in two years.

“Mr. Li, you finally don’t have to find a receptionist who doesn’t speak English. If you need it, I can arrange for an employee who is proficient in English to come to you. This will also facilitate our subsequent communication.”

Biers and Ana Shen had nothing to talk about, so they arranged for their subordinates to communicate.

The two sides conducted a few days of research, and the formal communication was not so strenuous.

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Beers. If you can send a beautiful woman over, I will definitely be happy.”

“Of course, she will be a beautiful woman.”

“Then I’ll just wait…wait for the receptionist to come over and then we can communicate again?”

“NO, NO, NO, Mr. Li’s English is very good, there is no barrier between us.”

Li Yuan didn’t even know that his English was good.

He is a typical translator of English. After all, he worked as a handyman for ten years in his previous life and read a lot of relevant data.

“Could it be that Mr. Beers can’t wait? If he can’t wait, then I will take the lead in this negotiation.”

Li Yuan didn’t say anything like they were going to raise interest rates tomorrow.

Let the other party think there is a traitor within them? Make them suspicious?

This is not a good thing, because they do have it internally.

Once found out, it will be a huge loss to China.

“Mr. Li, we really can’t wait. The U.S. dollar interest rate hike in May should be considered too much for all of us… The 70 billion U.S. dollars of short orders in Mr. Li’s hands will make a lot of money this time. , congratulations here in advance.”

Beers didn’t mind others knowing their weaknesses, because he believed that Li Yuan also had a lot of dollars in his hands.

He must not only put the money in Bitcoin, but what about other funds?

He was eager for Li Yuan to take action, and then take advantage of the interest rate hike cycle to slowly lock in Li Yuan’s funds.

Anyway, no one wants to make money in this cycle.

“Mr. Beers, you are mistaken. I only have 40 billion US dollars in short positions, and the rest is not mine. Since you even told me the time for the interest rate hike, it means that we are friends. Thank you Mr. Beers for helping me.” To recover the losses, I can enter the market with 10 billion US dollars today and take over the chips in your hands.”

“Mr. Li, the news I brought to you is more than 10 billion US dollars.”

“Of course…but I can only take out so much.”

“Thirty billion dollars.”

“Are you kidding me? Twenty billion dollars is enough for me to repay all my short orders…”

“With 20 billion US dollars, I can open a channel for you to US stocks…”

“In a market that is experiencing an interest rate hike cycle, does Mr. Beers want me to step in and take over?”

Even if he goes in, he won’t go in under the supervision of others.

“Mr. Li can go short…”

“I’m worried that one day suddenly the account will become disobedient… Mr. Beers, let’s talk about something meaningful. I can take out all of the 20 billion US dollars, but I also need other things.” (End of this chapter.) )
