Chapter 444: The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Majesty, Waving the Big Flag
In his spare time, Lu Liang scrolled through his phone and came to realize that the comment section of his Weibo Douyin account had turned into a wishing well.
Last month’s status update had reached over fifty-thousand comments.
"How did it suddenly cause such a big reaction?” he wondered to himself. After several years of work, he was no longer unknown.
As a person who often appeared in the news, he was no longer an instant hot
His tone was extremely gentle, utterly ingratiating, “Mr. Lu, how have you been doing lately? I hope my foolish son hasn’t caused you any trouble.”
"Renjun is doing quite well, his ability to handle affairs is very strong, Wen Chao often praises him to me, truly a case of ‘like father, like son.'”
Lu Liang’s face showed contemplation, he suddenly gestured and took out his tablet from his bag, and opened up the day’s Bitcoin market conditions.
Suddenly, a knowing look crossed his face.
Wen Chao should have followed his instructions, having Mitsui Sumitomo and Hyundai Group exert their effort in Japan and Korea, touting the advantages of cryptocurrency.
He hasn’t checked in a few days, but Bitcoin has soared from $3,325 that night, to a closing price of $4,652 the previous second.
Ota Ling should already know the investment product, and combining it with when they probably collaborated, it wouldn’t be hard to guess the approximate cost price.
It should be below $2,000, possibly around $1,700 or $1,800, so by now, it has at least doubled.
Thus, it was no surprise that he would make a call to inquire politely.
One billion dollars, in a little over a month, with a guaranteed return of at least 100%; even if he treated Lu Liang like his own father, it would be deserved.
Ota Ling’s smile brightened, “Mr. Lu, you’re too kind. It’s my son’s great fortune to have been able to help you in this life.”
He spoke of the real reason behind Bitcoin’s recent fluctuations, their hiring of finance experts to heavily promote it, which was just one aspect.
What really sent Bitcoin’s prices skyrocketing was the announcement that it would be listed on the Chicago Commodity Exchange a while back.
That day, after the news was released.
Representatives from BlackRock, Vanguard, and others subsequently met with Mizuho Bank, Mitsubishi Japan United, and their own Mitsui Sumitomo.
According to Ota Ling’s knowledge, neighboring banks like Han Ya, National, and Woori, which were held by Wall Street institutions, were also interviewed.
They collectively introduced a new financial concept, emphasizing the need for a new investment channel to face the increasingly complex international situation, with requirements for decentralization, global liquidity, investment value, and technological innovation.
At first, they didn’t understand what it meant and pondered over it for a long time.
It wasn’t until Wen Chao explained to him that their investment project was Bitcoin, a new type of cryptocurrency.
That’s when it clicked for Ota Ling: decentralization, global liquidity, investment value, and technological innovation.
This was a glaringly obvious fit, wasn’t it?
As a result, as Mitsui Sumitomo realized this, they extensively touted the advantages of Bitcoin, and other banks tasked with this also caught on.
They all joined the camp promoting cryptocurrency and started buying Bitcoin in large quantities, completing the task set by their masters, and the market took off directly.
"Mr. Lu, in my fifty-two years of life, there haven’t been many people I admire, but you are definitely one of them.”
Ota Ling’s admiration for Lu Liang flowed endlessly, like the surging river, like the Yellow River overflowing, uncontrollable once it started.
Now, even if Lu Liang told him that his first love, Nakamori Akina, was a man, he wouldn’t have the slightest doubt.
"A few months ago, I was in New York assisting Panda with its IPO and heard them talking about this.”
Lu Liang squinted his eyes and forcefully clung to the prestige, pretending that he had perfectly integrated into Wall Street and become one of them.
After all, the fact that Ota Ling mentioned ‘interviews’ showed that it was a directive sent from a superior to an inferior.
The banks of both countries acknowledge the US Dollar as their father, so his pretending to fit in, to enjoy the godfather treatment in the future, wasn’t too much to ask for.
Moreover, with Ota Ling’s disclosure, the context behind the Bitcoin surge became gradually clearer.
It was as Lu Liang had initially suspected, the secret financial consortiums behind Wall Street.
A market that was just barely over twenty billion dollars had rapidly inflated by 20 times in just a few months; it seemed only they had the capacity.
Ota Ling’s expression grew serious, and his tone became even more respectful, “Mr. Lu, may I know when you are planning to visit Tokyo next?”
He wanted to cling tightly to Lu Liang’s coattails, even if it meant bringing down the Moon Goddess Chang’e to his bed, he would find a way to do it.
As a Chinese-born and bred individual who has access to Wall Street’s core projects.
Sun Zhengyi, with his Hu Jian ancestry, a Korean-Japanese, grew up in America.
He could rely on his identity to play both ends against the middle in his youth, but once he held a high position, others saw him as a foreigner.
That’s why he eventually settled down in Tokyo, but it took him most of his life to barely gain acceptance.
But Lu Liang had taken only two and a half, less than three years, truly terrifying, even more so than the Squid Clan.
"I’ve been quite busy lately, so I’m not quite sure, but I’ll definitely inform you in advance before I go.”
Lu Liang was somewhat absent-minded, feeling like he was playing with fire, worried that one day it would burn him.
After ending the call with Ota Ling, and before he reached Jinmao Mansion, he received a call from Zheng Xuanyi.
It was another round of flattery, admiring Lu Liang’s foresight, and Lu Liang rolled out the same rhetoric he used to deal with Ota Ling.
