Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Powerful Money Magnet (Second update!)
In just a day or two, Lin Yun realized the power of these systems.
At the same time, he finally understood why many places liked to use this system.
On the first day, the spending at Qingyun Restaurant increased to 37 million, two bottles of Qingyun Supreme were sold, a total of 270 million was recharged by customers, two of which were for the purchase of Qingyun Supreme.
On the second day, the spending at Qingyun Restaurant increased to 51 million, three bottles of Qingyun Supreme were sold, a total of 395 million was recharged by customers, two of which were still for the purchase of Qingyun Supreme.
In two days, Qingyun Restaurant showed a strong ability to attract money, with a total exceeding 700 million.
This was no small-scale money-sucking beast, but a large-scale one.
Of course, when the recharge fever passed, the speed of money-sucking at Qingyun Restaurant would decrease.
However, at this moment, this 700 million capital was almost all pure profit, which Lin Yun could use anytime.
Lin Yun notified those who collected resources to collect a large amount of various resources again.
...
Friday.
As Lin Yun expected, some people came to see him.
These were the shareholders of the Tianyu Group, who owned a significant portion of the company's shares.
Seeing many high-level bodyguards around Lin Yun, and many of them armed, these people were quite shocked and further confirmed that Lin Yun had a strong background.
During the entire process, they negotiated with Lin Yun with a very humble attitude.
An hour later, these people left.
Several conditions were agreed upon by both parties.
First, Lin Yun would give up his efforts to hurt the Tianyu Group.
Of course, Lin Yun didn't say this directly, but the meaning was implied.
Second, Lin Yun would help improve the image of the Tianyu Group.
On this point, Lin Yun negotiated with them to allow the Tianyu Group to sign a contract with Qingyun power bank, use the Tianyu Group's overseas channels to sell the Qingyun power bank abroad, and pay a 50 million agency fee. Both parties would win.
The Qingyun power bank was now very famous, and since, in the beginning, the Tianyu Group had a bad impression because of the power bank, by signing the contract, this negative image could be mitigated.
More importantly, retail investors like to hear a story, and with this story, it would be easier to boost the stock price later.
Third, the Tianyu Group would sell two plots of land they owned to Lin Yun cheaply, using the funds from the Qingyun power bank agency fee, as well as profits from selling the Qingyun power bank later.
Because it was an overseas sale, the price Lin Yun gave to the Tianyu Group for the Qingyun power bank was not according to Huaxia's price. For each power bank, he only charged 150, but half of the pure profit from selling overseas had to be given to him.
In the overseas market, the price of the Qingyun power bank would be much higher than in Huaxia due to its impressive data. Therefore, Lin Yun would benefit a lot from this deal.
The shareholders of the Tianyu Group, not wanting to offend Lin Yun too much, agreed.
What they didn't know was that the operations a few days ago had left Lin Yun with 20 percent of the shares of the Tianyu Group.
Even if they hadn't sought Lin Yun out, since Zhang Tianyu and Zhang Zhongguo were already dead, Lin Yun wouldn't have continued to suppress the stock price of the Tianyu Group, otherwise, he would be at odds with his own money.
Due to this 20 percent stake, Lin Yun could also gain another 10 percent from the remaining profit.
That is to say, using the Tianyu Group's overseas channels to sell the Qingyun power bank not only gave Lin Yun a 50 million agency fee, but after deducting the initial price of 150 for each unit, 60 percent of the pure profit would be given to Lin Yun, whereas, those shareholders who owned 80 percent of the shares of the Tianyu Group would take home just under half of the profits.
However, the shareholders of the Tianyu Group weren't particularly concerned about the profits from the Qingyun power bank.
The original market value of the Tianyu Group was over 13 billion, and now it was only over 2 billion. No matter how large the profit from the Qingyun power bank, it wouldn't reach 10 billion, would it?
As long as the stock price of the Tianyu Group returned to its original price, they would have made a fortune.
All they wanted was a promise from Lin Yun.
...
Saturday, Sunday.
Lin Yun's subordinates, those collecting resources, once again gathered a large amount of resources, costing a total of 1 billion capital.
Because of the large acquisition before, they had gotten to know many big resource providers, so the following resource acquisition became increasingly easy.
The only thing lacking was sufficient capital.
The resources acquired with this 1 billion capital were majorly profitable deals, with gold accounting for a large portion.
Lin Yun managed to exchange these for 300 Spirit Crystals.
Of these 300 Spirit Crystals, Lin Yun used 200 to expand the range of spiritual energy absorption and refinement of the Cosmic Trading System, allowing the Cosmic Trading System's range for spirit energy absorption and refinement to reach a radius of 600 meters.
A radius of 600 meters, purely in terms of area, was more than double that of 400 meters.
Before this, the Cosmic Trading System could refine up to three and a half Spirit Crystals a day from absorbed spiritual energy.
Now, the number of Spirit Crystals the Cosmic Trading System could get per day had risen to seven.
It was quite terrifying.
It had already exceeded the number Star Blue got by nearly five times.
Speaking of Star Blue, a few days ago, Star Blue had set out and was now sailing in the star sea with a Cosmic Battleship.
Before this, Star Blue had spent a short time sailing in the star sea, so a mere few days was nothing to him. He led a comfortable life, looking at various information on the Cosmic Trading System, checking feasible deals, and chatting with Lin Yun.
There also were another 100 Spirit Crystals.
After careful consideration, Lin Yun decided to finally spend these on learning knowledge about the Earth's basic futures market.
If one intended to profit from the stock market, it would almost certainly involve stepping on a vast number of small investors. To make a profit in the futures market, one would have to tread a path littered with the bones of gamblers, large institutions, and large sums of money. It was a place of even greater risk.
One could engage in unlimited buying and selling operations daily.
A single wrong move could lead to a complete loss.
In the Huaxia stock market, if one did not use margin trading, then the stock one purchased could only drop at most by 10% in a single day. If one made losses, as long as they held onto their stocks and didn't sell, there was always a chance for them to rise again.
In the futures market, frequent trading at high leverage was common. It was completely normal for fortunes to be made and lost within a day.
However, this market was perfect for Lin Yun.
This was because he needed to purchase a large number of resources, and futures were mostly related to various resources. He could take the initiative; as long as he mainly took higher positions, it would be assured profits. If no one else was buying, he could buy himself, and if others were buying, he could let them do so. No matter how he operated, he would still profit.
Moreover, having studied the Earth's basic futures market knowledge, he could almost always be profitable.
If he didn't want to operate in Huaxia's market, he could operate in foreign markets and earn foreign money.
In fact, that was his plan, because Huaxia's futures market was more restricted and not as big as those abroad.
