My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 564 - 366 Sudden Incident

Chapter 564: Chapter 366 Sudden Incident

Meng Lang returned to his rental home, content and satisfied.

In life, there are essentially two problems, one is living, and the other is surviving.

For him, to enjoy life, he first had to strive to survive...

"Let’s take a look at our accumulated survival fund..."

Meng Lang opened his notebook and chose to check the account balance.

If he wanted to buy those 8 large ships, let alone invest in the shipyard, it would be impossible without money.

"Huh? This..."

After counting the long string of zeros at the end of the total account assets, Meng Lang’s eyes widened in shock.

He hadn’t paid attention for how long, and now the account balance had skyrocketed to nearly 1.3 billion!

"Zero, didn’t I ask you to control yourself? What’s with this balance? I remember it was only about 10 billion a few days ago..."

I wanted my RMB to produce a bunch of little RMBs, alright, but I asked for family planning!

Just a few days, and a 30% rate of return...

[I have strictly followed your orders to execute the profit plan. In fact, 287 million of the funds belong to Gao Yuan’s additional income from shorting ’Mushu Technology’.

According to your explanation, this is traceable, reasonable, and can be made public, clear ’legitimate funds’. So I didn’t stop her speculative actions.]

"Mushu Technology..."

With Zero’s explanation, Meng Lang finally understood the cause and effect; it turned out that Gao Yuan had recently made another "soulless investment".

Employees of his own company had painstakingly faked data, and he took the opportunity to make a profit in the process. Across the ocean, even dedicated investigation and short-selling institutions could exist legally.

This was considered a totally normal labor income, beyond reproach by anyone.

Meng Lang felt somewhat relieved.

If financial giants realized that the financial market they prided themselves on was just someone’s "playground", and they were being freely bled dry,

they would likely only have two choices: flip the table and quit, or use every means to find that person and make him disappear from this world...

Even though the free market seems to offer many ways to hide funds, financial regulation is becoming stricter and stricter.

Even Zero could not make a large sum of money disappear under their noses.

If a few big countries’ intelligence agencies want to investigate, the flow of huge funds is transparent to them, and laundering is futile.

If they want to investigate, it’s only a matter of time before the Wanwu Holding shell is uncovered, and then all the assets under his command would be laid bare.

Meng Lang did not want to be targeted by national-level forces so soon.

He checked the stock price of Mushu Technology.

The news hadn’t exploded completely yet, and the market was in a state of preemptively falling in respect. It’s likely it will continue to plummet, and scooping up another few billion probably wouldn’t be a problem.

"After the initial capital accumulation, the difficulty of making money has decreased dramatically..."

Meng Lang said reflectively.

In the past, a lifetime of hard work might not have been enough to save 1 million, but now, a few billion could be earned in the blink of an eye...

Autobiographies change destinies, technology changes lives.

We’re not printing money, we’re just money movers...

Meng Lang began to think about how to use these funds to convert wealth into capital to combat the Night Demon Clan.

Although tens of billions may seem like a lot, considering the 60 billion contract price for those 8 ships, even after a discount, one would need to prepare at least 20 billion in funds to purchase them.

This would nearly drain his cash flow.

If he wanted to invest in the shipyard, the required funds would be even more substantial.

Not to mention the acquisition of the Idol car factory, various medical research investments, satellite constellations, super robot factories, ecological cruise ships...

Each plan required no small amount, especially the last few large-scale projects, which needed astronomical sums of money.

Thinking this way, Meng Xiaolang, the "money mover", felt like, even if he moved gold bricks around the clock, he might still not be able to fill this bottomless pit.

Why does it seem that the more money he earns, the greater the funding gap becomes...

"Making money is a technical job indeed..."

Meng Lang stroked his chin, pondering.

"Now or never for securing the deal with Bin City Shipyard—I must raise the funds quickly!"

He assessed the money-making industries under his command.

At Changqing Biological, the Alzheimer’s disease early prediction technology had been experimentally validated, and as long as it could be quickly brought to market, Changqing Biological’s cash flow would greatly improve.

Additionally, the "Lotus Clearing Plague Recipe" in the technology library was also a means for rapid monetization.

And such a traditional Chinese medicine, focused primarily on boosting immunity for antivirus purposes, could be spread without much concern, allowing for the rapid creation of a signature product to alleviate his financial stress.

Meng Lang had read the detailed description of the prescription.

The medicine was made of honey, fritillaria bulbs, platycodon, and Heavenly Mountain snow lotus and didn’t need refrigeration or additives. Apart from its mild nature and remarkable antiviral effects... it also tasted quite good.

Well... although it sounded like a commercial tagline, a formula sent back by himself from the future could not be ordinary!

Meng Lang had personally experienced the formidable effects of the "Rejuvenation Nine Needle Skill."

In terms of conditioning and emergency treatment, it had its own unique advantages and disadvantages compared to Western medical methods.

Though Traditional Chinese Medicine was not given much importance at present, who knew how it would be seen in another twenty years or so?

Perhaps, Traditional Chinese Medicine would regain its vitality and shine anew.

Meng Lang had already sent the prescription via Zero to Gao Yuan as the key product for Changqing Biological’s foray into the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

However, the pharmaceutical industry requires a long-term accumulation process, with a vast market potential but a lengthy investment return period.

Its industry nature means it is incapable of generating large profits in a short time, serving instead as a steady long-term income source.

Meng Lang turned his attention to Zero.

If he wanted to monetize quickly, the internet was undoubtedly the best place, second only to the financial market!

"Zero, what do you think my daily earnings would be if I had you design a virtual personality AI anchor selling products?" he inquired, unable to hold back his curiosity about those flashy online streamers.

After all, Artificial Intelligence has no gender—while selling its body is out of the question, surely selling its talents is acceptable?

Zero: "..."

[Based on the money-drawing capabilities of mainstream top-tier anchors, normally the daily income varies from hundreds of thousands to millions of RMB, and during big shopping festivals like Singles’ Day, it might even reach tens of millions.

Regardless of how well-designed the AI is, the market size will likely limit the earnings from breaking through this ceiling.]

"That low, huh?"

Having experienced earning several "small goals" in a day, such an amount indeed felt insignificant.

A few hundred million a year seems like nothing but fleeting clouds...

Even though every little bit helps...,

Comparing the potential impact of AI-powered sales, Meng Lang reluctantly abandoned the idea of such "passive income" during sleep.

[Master, if you are looking to quickly obtain a substantial amount of funds, the gaming industry might be a good choice.]

"Gaming?" Meng Lang was taken aback.

Right! How could he neglect this lucrative online cash cow?

Think King’s Glory, think PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds—providing massive cash flows day in and day out for decades.

The money comes fast and clean.

Apart from a somewhat poor reputation, there are not many downsides.

Artificial Intelligence creating games operates with an innate advantage.

AI drawing, AI animation, voice synthesis, game engines...

With Zero, this supreme "post-production" tool, wouldn’t the game development cycle shorten to a matter of days?

It’s like being on the fast track to revolutionizing the gaming industry...

Just when Meng Lang was considering whether to start with a big 3D online game production or with a cash-generating browser game saying, "Come chop me if we’re brothers," an unexpected emergency interrupted his work.

[Report, Master. We have detected a massive amount of DDOS cyberattacks coming from across the ocean, targeting a military aerospace enterprise’s servers within Country Hua...]
