The following day, Ye Xingchen, with a determined expression, returned to his computer and placed another short position on gold.
Results on day 2:
"It's falling! Gold is dropping!"
"Look at Mr. Ye's move! Wow, we're making money again. It seems he went short on gold with his entire position last night!"
"Gold has dropped by 1.5%, meaning Mr. Ye has earned over 7 million!"
"Are you serious? Mr. Ye's position is currently at 100 million, so he's earned 15 million!"
"What a brilliant move! He goes short and the market responds immediately!"
"As expected of Mr. Ye!"
Lin Beifan patted Ye Xingchen on the shoulder, his face filled with relief. "Brother, you've done it again. You earned me another 15 million overnight! Here's another 100 million for you to play with as you please!"
Ye Xingchen appeared grateful on the surface but seethed with anger inside.
"Why did it rise again? I want to see that devil lose money again! His smug face infuriates me! I'm all in on long positions now, and I'm going to lose all the money I've made! It's going to be a total loss!"
Results on day 3:
"It's going up! Gold prices are rising!"
"Wow! Since Mr. Ye closed his position early and profited from gold, his foresight is truly remarkable!"
"This time it's up by 2%, so aren't we making 20 million?"
"20 million? That's just the tip of the iceberg. Last night, Mr. Lin gave Mr. Ye an additional 100 million to play with. With a total of 200 million in funds to manipulate, he's made 40 million!"
"40 million overnight, just as we expected from Mr. Ye!"
Lin Beifan laughed heartily, "Brother Ye, you've surprised me once again. You made me another 40 million overnight! As promised, here's another 100 million for you to continue your stellar performance!"
"Thank you, Lin Chengquan," replied Ye Xingchen, outwardly modest but seething with anger inside.
"Why did it rise again? And why by so much? You're insufferable! The more I resist, the more you profit! I won't play along this time, I'll make you lose money!"
Results on Day 4:
"Wow! Gold has risen by another 2% today!"
"Look at what Mr. Ye did, he didn't trade, and yet he still made over 40 million!"
"It's not just 40 million, it's 60 million! Boss Lin has transferred another 100 million to him, bringing the total to 300 million. With more funds, the profits are coming even faster!"
"Mr. Ye truly is exceptional. He's mastered the rhythm of the gold market! Every move he makes is so precise and calculated, it's truly admirable!"
"As expected of Mr. Ye, he's like a god!"
Lin Beifan beamed with delight, "Brother, you're truly gifted. Your ability to make money is accelerating by the day! In just a few days, you'll easily surpass 100 million! Haha, here's another 100 million for you. I can't wait to see your next amazing performance!"
Meanwhile, the protagonist Ye Xingchen felt utterly numb.
"This gold market is so abnormal. I seem to profit no matter how I trade. It's completely irrational! I've heard that crude oil is more volatile. I'll try my luck there. I refuse to believe it's as bizarre as gold!"
Results on Day 5:
"The price of gold has dropped, check out Mr. Ye's moves!"
"Mr. Ye didn't short gold this time, he's switched to crude oil!"
"I'll be darned. He made a killing by going long on crude oil with a full position! Crude oil surged by 4%, and he nailed it from start to finish!"
"Now Mr. Ye has 400 million in funds, and he's fully invested in crude oil. That means he's made... 160 million in this round!!!"
"Exceeding 100 million! He's already surpassed it!"
"Mr. Ye is incredible. Not only is he a master of gold trading, but he's even more impressive with crude oil!"
"Mr. Ye, you're truly amazing!!!"
Ye Xingchen: "Pfft!"
Lin Beifan's face was full of amazement. "It actually surpassed 100 million, and now it's at 160 million! Brother Ye, you're really going all out. You don't have to push yourself so hard. Take it easy and give others a chance!"
Ye Xingchen: "Pfft!"
In this manner, with Ye Xingchen's skillful maneuvers, in less than a week, Lin Beifan's funds soared to 1 billion, showcasing a terrifying growth rate!
Consequently, Lin Beifan entrusted most of the funds to Ye Xingchen for operation, while he enjoyed a leisurely life.
Ye Xingchen truly lived up to expectations. With nearly 1 billion in capital and abundant resources, he managed to double the capital to 2 billion in less than three days!
Ye Xingchen: "Pfft!"
Despite his disbelief, Ye Xingchen continued to execute two more transactions, resulting in the fund amount reaching 3 billion!
"Why does this keep happening? I don't even intend to profit!"
"I'm clueless about these matters!"
"Can't I just incur losses?"
"Oh God, what did I do wrong? Why are you punishing me like this?"
Until the end, he was petrified when he saw the fund account!
