Chapter 523: 463 Black Friday

"You really are a madman."

After Joe Bankton left, Pei Yunxi finally spoke up.

Jiang Chen acted as if he hadn’t heard her and casually said, "You might need to stay a few more days to take over his shares."

Pei Yunxi did not mention that she didn’t have that much money at all.

Because she knew clearly that the other party must also be aware of this.

So she just asked, "Why do you want to do this?"

Jiang Chen smiled.

"All the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. I’m doing this, naturally, because there’s profit to be made."

"What profit?"

Pei Yunxi asked him, looking him straight in the eye.

"Commercial secrets, I have nothing to disclose."

This time, Jiang Chen was quite firm.

Pei Yunxi took a deep breath.

"I’m asking you to stop."

Although he avoided the question, there was no way she didn’t understand the reason for his actions.

Like Joe Bankton, Pei Yunxi almost instinctively saw herself as the catalyst for this major commercial battle.

Of course.

That was also the truth.

If it had been any other woman, perhaps she would have taken pride in such allure—proud of the extent of her own charm, but she didn’t feel that way.

He who takes a gift gives away some freedom, he who accepts a favor is a pawn to the giver.

Last time in Liangyue, she had already owed a huge favor, and if she added another, how could she repay it?

"The arrow is on the string; it’s already too late to stop it. Including Xingkong’s founder Liu Yiming, some entrepreneurs from our country have already entered the game. If I give up now, how can I explain it to them?"

Pei Yunxi realized that she might have never truly understood this young man.

Before, she doubted whether he was just climbing the high branches by leveraging the Golden Sea’s heiress.

But now it seemed that her thoughts were completely wrong.

Not to mention the heiress of Golden Sea, even Shi Zhenhua himself probably didn’t have this kind of boldness, or more precisely, ability.

One must know that on paper, the market value of Golden Sea Industries was only about the same as K.E Group, or even slightly less.

"You really aren’t worried about him telling secrets?"

"If he really does spill the beans, it might be a little troublesome, but indeed, it won’t affect the final outcome."

Jiang Chen’s tone was very calm, but the information contained in his words was enough to leave someone speechless.

What kind of confidence was this?

"Even if the management of K.E now realizes what’s happening, it’s already too late. With the stocks we’ve accumulated, we might not have enough to deliver a fatal blow, but it’s enough to shake its stock price. If they want to stabilize the situation, the only way for K.E would be to buy back shares at a high cost. They’d need to prepare at least this number."

Pei Yunxi only saw him extend a finger, "Ten billion euros."

Pei Yunxi was deeply shaken.

A superstar.

Despite it being a profession that rakes in a fortune daily, the figure he had just mentioned was still out of reach!

Let alone ten billion euros, even one billion euros would probably be an amount she could never earn in her lifetime.

"Although I’m not too clear about the economic status of the K.E Group, it’s highly likely they don’t have that much cash in their accounts. Even if they do, they might not be willing to spend it ruthlessly. After all, whether the money thrown into saving the market will return and how much will return is not something they can control."

Although Jiang Chen was only talking about the K.E Group and did not mention his own investment, it was clear that it must also be an astronomical figure.

What was this man’s endgame, to go to such great lengths?

Even Pei Yunxi, at the moment, had a feeling of unworthiness.

Although the outside world praised her to the skies, ultimately she was just a woman, at most, one who happened to be better looking.

And in today’s age, where were beautiful women considered a scarce resource?

"Aren’t you afraid that by doing this and destroying a world-renowned luxury brand, you’ll provoke collective hostility from the West?"

"Who said I want to destroy it?"

Jiang Chen smiled casually, "I simply want to reshape it."

"Reshape? What do you mean?"

"A brand’s maturity requires at least a decade or two. It would indeed be a pity to destroy it just like that. Plus, as you said, luxury goods are mainly a Western domain. Collapsing K.E would likely cause a chain reaction amongst other companies—like a dead rabbit grieves a fox, a tooth lost chills the lips. Hence, my goal is not to destroy it but to rebuild it from its broken state."

Pei Yunxi was naturally no fool and exclaimed in shock, "You want to acquire it?"

"No."

Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Not me, you."

Looking at the earnest-faced young man, Pei Yunxi’s expression gradually solidified.

Besides the temperature drop and the absence of sunlight, this Friday seemed hardly any different from usual.

But at ten in the morning, an anomaly suddenly arose.

Stock traders, watching the endless stream of trade requests, instinctively sensed the alarm of an approaching flood.

Almost simultaneously, massive amounts of K.E stock from countless different accounts were released, overwhelming the recipients.

These stocks, converging together, surged toward the stock market with the force of a dam unleashing floodwaters.

The recently soaring K.E stock price rapidly collapsed, visibly beginning to fall. In just half an hour, it had plummeted below the 200 euro mark.

The strange occurrence quickly caught the attention of the financial world.

To the perceptive, it was clear that someone was manipulating the situation from behind the scenes—an orchestrated "attack."

After all, such incidents had occurred frequently in the past.

Watching the continuing decline of K.E stocks, with no sign of stopping, many understood this was just the beginning.

One thread pulls the whole web.

The butterfly effect had been initiated.

Those with no stake watched the commotion eagerly.

Meanwhile, financiers holding K.E stocks began quietly trading them off to cut their losses.

Half a day’s time.

K.E’s stock price had fallen to 160 euros, back to the starting point of its recent gains.

The disturbance inevitably began to spread beyond the circle.

Familiar with such scenes, those within the financial sector maintained their composure, some still observing calmly, but ordinary people did not possess the same level of self-control.

Small investors, swept up by panic, rushed to join the extensive selloff. Although the stocks in their hands were insignificant, every little bit added up.

Like a single snowflake that seems inconsequential, but when they come together, they can create an earth-shattering impact.

Deserted by small investors, the K.E stock price began to plummet, and the downtrend intensified.

Times Square, New York.

"Ding."

Upon receiving a text message, Liu Hongzhi, who was with his girlfriend and her cousin, took out his mobile phone. His expression turned excited in an instant.

He hurriedly said, "I have an urgent matter to deal with."

"But you said you were off today..."

Xue Yali was puzzled.

"It’s fine, go ahead with your things."

It was Li Shuru who was understanding.

Liu Hongzhi turned and left, hailing a taxi on the roadside.

Every time a stock market disaster looms, many people drown.

But there are also those who profit from it, soaring high.

Liu Hongzhi loosened his collar, took a deep breath, and suppressed the excitement within him.

"To Wall Street."
