Stepping out of the airport, Chu Heng saw Xu Yuan Sheng from afar. He must have been waiting outside for quite some time.
Seeing Chu Heng, the man's stern face broke into a smile. He waved to Chu Heng.
Looking at the man in front of him, Chu Heng felt a deeper sense of connection as memories of the two, provided by the system, flooded his mind. In his mid-thirties, with a tall and upright physique, he was dressed in a sharp black suit. He exuded an aura of coldness, a perfect picture of a domineering CEO from a modern romance drama.
"Long time no see."
The two embraced tightly, like old friends who hadn't seen each other in ages.
"Brother Sheng, you look even more energetic after a year. Haha," Chu Heng said, feeling a sense of nostalgia. He wouldn't have been associated with someone like this in his previous life. But now, they were able to be like...
"You finally made it. It's been so long," Xu Yuan Sheng laughed, playfully punching him on the arm.
"I'm here now. I'll probably be staying in Shanghai for a while," Chu Heng said with a smile.
"Let's go eat first."
"Did you arrange a place to stay?" Xu Yuan Sheng asked, taking his luggage and placing it in the trunk of his car.
"I did. It's at Jun Ting in the East Suburbs," Chu Heng said without hesitation. He trusted the system.
"Wow, the boss is the boss!" Xu Yuan Sheng said with admiration, sitting in the driver's seat. Even though he had guessed that Chu Heng, despite his young age, was definitely a hidden tycoon, hearing about him having a house at Jun Ting still filled him with awe. Jun Ting in Shanghai was the city's top-tier villa complex. Only the super-wealthy and elite resided there.
"How's the preparation going for the plan we discussed earlier?" Chu Heng was still concerned about the few stocks. For him, the most important thing about his trip to Shanghai was to handle the information he had obtained about the detailed price movements of those three stocks over the next three months.
"We're mainly going long with those two stocks in the Hong Kong market, based on the information you gave us. After talking to you, I had people investigate those two stocks thoroughly. We've been discreetly accumulating shares, quietly buying up a lot of loose stock. It's all very covert."
"As for the most important stock, the one in the United States, according to your information, if we want to maximize our profits in the shortest amount of time, we'll have to short it first, then go long again. It will be more complicated and more important to operate repeatedly. I've already arranged for people to keep an eye on it. We'll need a significant amount of capital for this, and it might be difficult for the company to raise it all at once. There's still a shortage."
Xu Yuan Sheng had always trusted Chu Heng implicitly. Besides, after in-depth investigation by him and his team, they found that what Chu Heng had said about the two stocks in the Hong Kong market was highly likely to happen.
"Behind the crazy drop in the American stock, there are several large funds involved. We're just taking advantage of the opportunity to make a quick profit. We'll shoot the bird that sticks its head out, and we'll leave after we're done. Don't attract unnecessary attention in the United States for now." Chu Heng stated.
"Understood." Xu Yuan Sheng nodded. Through recent investigations, he had also discovered that the shadows were lurking behind the American stock, fraught with danger. But since they had discovered the opportunity, they naturally had to seize it and make a fortune.
"I've already taken care of all the preparations in the U.S. The traders are people I specifically selected and can be trusted. Don't worry," Xu Yuan Sheng reassured him.
Chu Heng nodded. He had no doubt about Xu Yuan Sheng's ability.
"How much has the company raised?"
"140 million yuan," Xu Yuan Sheng replied.
"I have another 60 million. I'll transfer it to the company's account later. That's 200 million yuan, or 30 million US dollars. We'll use this 30 million to ride this American windfall. There will be many more opportunities in the future. This time, we'll just have a taste. Next time..." Chu Heng didn't finish his sentence. His mind was racing, thinking of bigger plans. The real financial giants were always those top-tier funds. He wasn't at that level yet.
He always had a clear understanding of where he stood. He was clear-headed. He knew he had to take things one step at a time. He wouldn't do anything risky, especially when there were unknown variables. He only believed in one principle: To make sure every step he took was right. Even if it meant being slower, he wasn't willing to take unnecessary risks or act impulsively.
He didn't have to rush. He was focused on the future. He would be a force to be reckoned with.
"Okay, let's go to the company after we eat. Or would you rather go back and rest first, then head over tomorrow? Everything is arranged, so it's not urgent." Xu Yuan Sheng always prioritized Chu Heng's wishes.
"I'm not that delicate. Let's go to the company after we eat," Chu Heng said.
"Alright, let the company staff meet our big boss. Haha," Xu Yuan Sheng joked, a rare moment of levity.
"It's only a matter of time."
Meanwhile, at Douyu, in Xiao Meng's live stream.
【User "A Cat Called July" sent Xiao Meng a Super Rocket *1】
【User "A Cat Called July" sent Xiao Meng a Super Rocket *2】
【User "A Cat Called July" sent Xiao Meng a Super Rocket *3】
......
【User "A Cat Called July" sent Xiao Meng a Super Rocket *10】
After the call ended, Mao Huang, the legendary tycoon of the Wei family and a major spender on the Catya platform, entered Xiao Meng's live stream and immediately started showering her with Super Rockets.
"Damn!"
"Big spender!"
"The boss is generous!"
"This is Mao Huang, the one from the Wei family. He's also a major spender on Catya," one viewer recognized him.
"Mao Huang is awesome!"
"666"
"Thank you Mao Huang, thank you for the ten Super Rockets," Xiao Meng happily expressed her gratitude. If Chu Heng hadn't come to her stream, she would have been ecstatic receiving ten Super Rockets. But having witnessed Chu Heng's reckless generosity and the recent gift-giving frenzy, she was now able to calmly handle such situations.
Although she was still happy, after all, who doesn't want more big brothers, she didn't have the same frantic eagerness as before. She didn't feel the need to please these passing-by big brothers. With her reliance on Chu Heng, her demeanor and actions were more composed.
"Quick, Mengjie, give Mao Huang a moderator role."
"Yeah, give Mao Huang a moderator role."
"Happy, get to work."
"Mao Huang, just say the word, and I'll make you a moderator," the operator, Happy, typed in the chat.
"Mao Huang, would you like to hear a song? You can request a song," Xiao Meng said with a smile. She remembered this major spender from Catya who had been strongly supporting Wei Ye recently. She had heard that he had spent millions supporting a top female streamer on Catya for years. He showed no signs of slowing down. He was definitely a true tycoon.
"I heard that Liu Huang listened to a song here and gifted a million yuan. Is my little gift enough?" Mao Huang joked.
"Hahaha..."
"Mao Huang, you're quite a character."
"Liu Huang was too ruthless!"
"Mao Huang, Liu Huang doesn't play by the rules."
"I can't compare, I can't compare."
"No, no, you can request a song with airplane gifts in normal times, Mao Huang."
"Liu Huang listened to a song and gifted a million, and watched a dance for ten million. Too hardcore."
"Haha... Mao Huang, you're just kidding. That was an exception with Liu Ge. Besides, it wasn't me singing that time. I didn't even know that song yet," Xiao Meng looked at the comments and recalled Liu Huang's first visit to her stream.
That day, there wasn't a single person speaking in her stream, no one requested a song, just her alone, feeling utterly alone. She had even considered giving up streaming at that point. Then Liu Huang came. He was lurking, and because she played a song, he showered her with five hundred Super Rockets.
She still remembered how the sudden rain of Super Rockets had stunned her.
That day, she cried her eyes out. She was surprised, touched, overwhelmed, and happy. All sorts of emotions surged through her. She felt like a drowning person who had been pulled out of the water. At that moment, he was her savior, her support.
He didn't ask for anything in return, as if it was a simple act of kindness. The more casual and nonchalant he was, the more grateful she felt. All those other big spenders who showered her with gifts, didn't they all start making unreasonable demands after? She had refused them outright, which led to her struggles later.
Perhaps for Chu Heng, it was simply a spontaneous act of generosity, a simple emotional gift. But for her, from that day on, her life had changed. She had rekindled her love for life and her passion for streaming. That man had shown her that streaming wasn't just bleak and gray, but full of color and beauty, with rainbows on the horizon.
