May 5th, the first working day after the short holiday, these days the Bitcoin price has been rising steadily, about to break through 9,000 US Dollars.

"Mr. Lu, according to the information provided by Standard Chartered and Hyundai, this time the funds driving the surge are all flowing out from the mainland.”

Li Junwei frowned, reporting to Lu Liang, many funds bypassed them and directly entered into Bitcoin.

After all, facing a 30% management fee, they’re more willing to take a gamble, even if it means risking being caught by regulators.

"Isn’t this a good thing?” Lu Liang smiled, playing with the Nine-Eyed Sky Bead gifted by Su Wanyu.

"Good thing?” Li Junwei felt puzzled.

They put in so much effort to build the funding channel, is it just to serve the ‘people’?

Lu Liang chuckled lightly, speaking unhurriedly: “If they’re not greedy, we can only earn the fixed 30%, but now they’re so greedy, how much of the principal is left, isn’t it up to us to decide?”

"Xingheng holds over 1.7 million Bitcoins, I’ve made an agreement with those old fellows that they won’t interfere below 10,000 US Dollars.”

When Liu Conglong learned of their methods, Lu Liang expected to be discarded after use, but as long as they’re involved in Bitcoin investment, the profits and losses will be determined by Lu Liang.

This wave of market action will reach above 22,000 US Dollars, but it’s not achieved all at once, after all, ups and downs are necessary to create a perfect K-line.

There is significant room for manipulation during this period.

They can fully treat it as a pig-butchering market, first killing the bulls, then the bears.

Since they don’t pay protection fees, don’t blame him for being ruthless, scraping even their principal clean.

Li Junwei suddenly understood, but couldn’t help worrying: “Mr. Lu, won’t they stab us in the back?”

Even contracts written in black and white could be torn up, let alone agreements, which don’t even have legal effect.

Lu Liang said: “They’ll grant me this face because they don’t dare gamble whether I dare to crush Bitcoin to worthless.”

Since learning that Bitcoin price would exceed 70,000 US Dollars in two years, he’s placed Bitcoin’s priority above Tesla, also aware of Bitcoin’s importance to them.

Moreover, this is ultimately a net laid by Lu Liang for those mainland funds that can’t see the light, they won’t suffer any interest losses.

Li Junwei completely realized, looking at Lu Liang with eyes full of admiration, he glanced at the Bitcoin market chart: “It’s now at 9,200, should we wait longer?”

Lu Liang glanced over, calmly smiling: “Contact Xu Jiawei, invest a bit more funds, let the price quickly rush to 9,800 US Dollars, then appropriately suppress it, creating a buildup for a sprint look, attracting more funds to bite.”

"Will they take the bait?” Li Junwei asked, such an obvious pump-and-dump tactic, will anyone really fall for it?

"Jun Wei, don’t think of them as too clever.”

Lu Liang sneered: “Einstein was smart enough, yet lost so much in the stock market that he nearly pawned his underpants.”

"In this market, losing money isn’t scary, what’s scary is making money first, the unearned gains will blind their judgment.”

"Even if they merely aim to make a little, once they make 100 they want 200, once they make 200 they want 300.”

Li Junwei showed an understanding expression, just subconsciously glanced at Lu Liang.

The logic is surely correct, most would fall into this trap, but Boss Lu seems to be the exception.

Lu Liang smiled silently, years ago he knew the outcome, so nothing could sway his decisions, and now he has the ability to control the results.

Beijing time, one in the afternoon.

Not normally a hot trading time for Bitcoin, yet the market suddenly changed, spiking 3.25%, reaching 9,800 US Dollars, with 10,000 US Dollars within reach.

At the same time, Beijing North Third Ring Club.

Inside, Liu Conglong’s laughter echoed: “Everyone, see what picking money means, this is picking money, 10,000 US Dollars is right within reach, 20,000 USD historical high will break sooner or later.”

Spending merely 75 million to test the waters, he received confidential news of Bitcoin’s surge.

At this moment, his self-respect reached its peak, not only did he successfully transfer funds but also made a substantial profit.

Someone frowned asking: “Could there be something fishy? Such crucial news, how could Lu Liang tell you so easily?”

"Not from Lu Liang, it’s my deduction.”

Liu Conglong laughed and said: “The card-cutting action grows increasingly intense, escaping funds aren’t just ours, as a decentralized currency, Bitcoin is undoubtedly the best carrier.”

"I know what you’re worried about; you’re worried about the huge amount of chips under Lu Liang’s Xingheng Investment.” .

"But don’t forget, Lu Liang holds so much, the higher the price the better for him, he has no reason to crash the market.”

"As far as I know, ‘Satoshi Nakamoto’ doesn’t exist, the biggest behind-the-scenes market maker of Bitcoin is the Federal Reserve, even if Lu Liang wants to crash the market, he’d have to ask if they agree.”

The 35 million US Dollars obtained from cashing out has been invested into the Bitcoin market in four subsequent batches.

As Bitcoin nears 10,000 US Dollars, the 35 million-plus USD accounts have turned into over 50 million USD.

Liu Conglong never felt making money to be so easy, stunned by his speculative talent.

Just lamenting the timing of his life, had he entered the international market years earlier, there wouldn’t be Lu Liang’s matter.

Hearing such massive profits, those present envied to the point of jealousy, exchanging glances, deciding together.

The leading middle-aged man said: “Since Chairman Liu has confidence, then let’s continue adding, making money is secondary, the main thing is the funds going abroad, that’s the real benefit.”

After all, seeing Liu Conglong making so much money, he was also envious. No one thinks they have too much money even if they have a lot.

Someone smiled broadly, already fantasizing about a wonderful life abroad, raised a glass and said: “Chairman Liu, our entire wealth is entrusted to you. Don’t let us down.”

"Don’t worry, that’s impossible.”

Liu Conglong smiled with narrowed eyes, the profit of over twenty million US Dollars had made him extremely confident.

He was even considering whether to discreetly use leverage, leveraging these wealthy scions’ funds to profit for himself, perhaps earning enough to fill the company’s gap.

After all, the issues with Greenland Group can be resolved as long as there is enough capital, and he won’t need to flee overseas.

Just as Bitcoin was about to break through ten thousand US Dollars, a flood of capital frantically poured into the market from all sides, as if the ten thousand US Dollars mark was within reach.

New York time, half-past one in the morning.

"Mr. Su Shimin, are we really not intervening? This might be the best chance to shake off Lu Liang.”

Evans, the leader of BlackRock, was envious. According to their monitoring, at the price range of 9800-9900 US Dollars, an institution was frantically selling off, absorbing a massive amount of capital entering the market, preventing the price from breaking through ten thousand US Dollars.

As per their agreement, the selling institution should be Xingheng Investment under Tianxing Finance.

Xingheng held more than 1.7 million Bitcoins, devouring all of them would require about 17 billion US Dollars.

Although a lot of funds are needed, as long as they team up, each party would only need to contribute several billion US Dollars.

Then they could completely shake off the burden of Lu Liang, and he would no longer be able to threaten them with flipping the table.

Su Shimin remained silent for a long time and sighed: “Do you think I don’t know this is a good opportunity to shake off Lu Liang?”

He turned his head, looking at everyone: “But who can replace him? Is it you, BlackRock, or him, Vanguard?”

Given Lu Liang’s influence in the East Asian market, if Xingheng liquidates and resolves to completely suppress this market, they wouldn’t be able to stop it, and Bitcoin’s development needs Tianxing Finance holding positions to prove its worth.

Just like the recent G7 summit, although East Country was not invited, many decisions couldn’t be executed without East Country’s involvement.

At most, they are just putting on a show to tell other countries that East Country is isolated, but that’s all it is.

"If at that time…”

Evans gritted his teeth, suddenly looking at Wilson.

Wilson’s face was cold: “What do you want to say?”

"The past decisions were all collective decisions, don’t bring them up again.” Su Shimin coldly rebuked.

He knew what Evans wanted to say, which was nothing more than pushing the responsibility onto Wilson.

If they had killed off Lu Liang in the cradle before, and not opted for collaboration, there wouldn’t be so many problems today.

But now bringing up old accounts was pointless, instead, it would cause their already shaky alliance to fall apart.

Su Shimin shifted his gaze, focusing on offshore Renminbi: “So far, Tianxing Finance has invested over 100 billion US Dollars, and is still continuously adding.”

Compared to those shady funds Lu Liang designed to exploit East Country for profit and push Bitcoin up.

He was more concerned about the nearly two-month foreign exchange battle, with both sides having cumulatively invested funds likely exceeding 200 billion US Dollars.

The capital invested by Tianxing Finance should be more than 50% of the group’s own liquid assets, and Lu Liang is also raising money in other ways, showing a stance of risking everything.

That was what has been worrying Su Shimin all along, what makes Lu Liang think he can win this protracted battle?

Even though he holds the trump card of the disaster in the second half of the year, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

After all, Blackstone invested a lot of funds too, and if they lose in the foreign exchange market, they would definitely replicate the crisis JPMorgan Chase faced last year, even more severe.

Wilson walked up to Su Shimin’s side, smiling: “After all, Lu Liang doesn’t know our actions in the second half of the year.”

Su Shimin squinted his eyes: “What actions?”

"Don’t treat me like a fool, okay?” Wilson chuckled faintly.

He felt it was about time, pretending any more would likely arouse Su Shimin’s suspicion.

Su Shimin giggled lightly: “When did you guess it?”

"Recently, I guess.”

"You didn’t tell anyone else, did you?”

"Whom? Lu Liang?”

Wilson looked at the offshore Renminbi trend: “If he knew, would he still invest so much money?”

"That’s true.” Su Shimin smiled, his eyes full of appreciation: “Kamon, you are indeed the person I admire most.”

Wilson smiled without saying a word, but a trace of doubt flashed through his eyes. Even he didn’t understand exactly why?

Lu Liang clearly knew the events of the second half of the year, why would he still invest so much money in the foreign exchange market.

What is he relying on?
