CHAPTER 410: 307. FINANCIAL WAR, FIRST BATTLE OF THE BLACK SAND SEA

"This is a financial war!"

In the Great Xia Capital, inside a meeting room at the Great Xia Central Bank, a voice rang out.

This statement immediately sparked a discussion.

"This time, the Pioneer Alliance publicly issued 25 billion shares of stock and painstakingly raised 18.75 trillion Xia Yuan. Who would have thought that the Carmenia Federation and the Southern Cross Alliance would play a futures game and gather over 5 trillion Carmenia Dollars, which amounts to 10 trillion Xia Yuan."

"The white people aren’t fools; they naturally know we want to reap the rewards from the world at large. They don’t want to be harvested, so of course, they’ll find ways to counter us."

"To be honest, even though the Carmenians have declined now, they still hold financial hegemony. In this regard, those white people are still more skilled."

"Carmenia is already behind economically and militarily compared to us. The foundation of finance is the real economy; sooner or later, they will hand over financial dominance."

"But Great Xia can’t wait too long. Mr. Ghost clearly stated that the Primordial World might be undergoing changes. It seems that all civilizations in the world are preparing. The reason the Mei Jia Civilization sent Miss Jana is to prepare for a huge future crisis. Great Xia must quickly integrate the power on Canglan Star."

At this moment.

The meeting host, Chief Executive Bao Zimo, suddenly tapped on the table in front of him.

"Bang! Bang!"

All sounds immediately vanished.

Bao Zimo glanced around and said, "Great Xia must kick the white people off the throne of financial hegemony; this is our responsibility."

He raised a finger: "We have one very great advantage, and that is the Primordial economy.

"The Primordial economy is currently a hotspot on Canglan Star, and it represents the development direction of the future world economy.

"Thanks to Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows for laying the foundation for Great Xia. We are now far ahead of the world in this area.

"If we start with the Primordial economy, we can definitely shake the Carmenians’ financial hegemony."

All the participants nodded in agreement.

Bao Zimo continued: "The Pioneer Alliance stocks are Great Xia’s leading issued stocks, and they are financial tools that we firmly control.

"Even if the white people mobilize more funds, this is our home ground, and they can’t suppress Great Xia no matter what."

He then proposed specific plans: "We can artificially create stock fluctuations and completely explode the white people’s ’illegal capital business.’

Actually, the Western Hemisphere Organization’s Pioneer Alliance stock trading platform essentially belongs to regular trading.

It’s just that from Great Xia’s standpoint, these activities bypassing the Tianful Sea Stock Exchange will naturally be deemed ’illegal’ trading."

A participant immediately raised a question: "Wouldn’t doing so damage the credibility of the Pioneer Alliance and lead to a large-scale withdrawal of investors? If this happens, this game can’t be sustained."

Bao Zimo shrugged off the notion: "The sages of Great Xia already said, ’All under heaven is bustling for profit, all under heaven is clamoring for profit.’ As long as the Pioneer Alliance is willing to give up a little profit, we can’t even chase investors away."

Someone immediately expressed agreement.

"Appropriate profit-sharing is very necessary. If Great Xia wants to lead the world, it should unite the majority."

"When the Carmenia Federation was world leader, they always swung the sickle regularly to reap the whole world. We can’t be as greedy as the Carmenians, or else we will push the majority to the opposite side sooner or later."

At this point.

The meeting reached a consensus.

Bao Zimo smiled and said, "Then contact Eastern City and ask Spirit Crow to send a message through the World Gate, requesting Mr. Ghost to release negative news externally."

A voice immediately responded, "Understood! I’ll arrange for someone to do it right away!"

Just a minute later.

Eastern City sent a reply: "Mr. Ghost has agreed. The World Gate will undergo changes shortly."

Bao Zimo hastily said, "Turn on the TV."

As the TV screen just lit up, everyone saw the changes.

Inside the World Gate hall.

The spatial ripples that had always remained stable suddenly became chaotic.

The ripples sometimes gathered and sometimes dispersed, as if they were being unusually disturbed.

The group of reporters gathered outside the caution line erupted in sudden commotion.

The voice of the Great Xia host was filled with surprise: "What’s going on, could it be that there’s a problem?"

After two seconds.

The host spoke again, with a tone of anxiety: "Everyone, I’m receiving some very bad news: there might have been some kind of incident in the Black Sand Sea, and the World Gate has temporarily lost contact with the exploration team."

In the Central Bank’s meeting room, a light laughter immediately filled the air.

Was it really that the Primordial World had changed?

Clearly, it was Canglan Star that had changed!

*

Thousands of kilometers away.

In Shapudian, Eastern City.

"... Lost contact with the exploration team!"

Anthony was sitting upright inside his hotel, watching the changes at the World Gate, feeling a sense of being struck by lightning.

He checked the stock price as quickly as possible—96 Xia Yuan!

Just now, the price had climbed to 102 Xia Yuan, and after the problem at the World Gate, it instantly dropped by 6 Xia Yuan.

Too fast!

Anthony immediately realized that at the current trend, the decline would likely be faster than expected.

He calculated as quickly as he could and discovered that when the stock price fell to 84 Xia Yuan, the platform would forcibly close the positions.

And how long would it take to fall from 96 Xia Yuan to 84 Xia Yuan?

The screen flickered for a moment.

The stock price dropped again—95 Xia Yuan!
