Wanke Real Estate, conference room.

Lu Ming, who was sitting in the first seat, said, “How much have we earned from speculating?”

“Nearly 10 billion yuan. The current yield is around 7230%.”

Ji Yu flipped through the accounts book in her hands and answered.

She did not expect to earn so much money just by speculating. When the people in the company heard the news, many of them chose to invest. They basically earned a lot.

With the intention of giving it a try, she invested some money. Recently, even sitting in the office every day, she could earn tens of thousands of yuan.

Although she did not know why Lu Ming knew about this, now that they were speculating, they naturally had more admiration for and trust in Lu Ming, the boss who came from nowhere.

“Chairman Lu is really amazing! You’re so forward-looking. Concepts like blockchain are still niche in China. When I told my neighbors about this, they were completely dumbfounded.”

“That’s right. And they were in disbelief that such things could earn money. It was not until I showed them the money I earned that they had no choice but to believe me. Their expressions were so funny that I could die laughing!”

“Chairman Lu, should we bolster our efforts next? According to my guess, the next wave will definitely increase by about three times! With our current funds, we will definitely enter the list of top 20 companies easily. At that time, won’t it be equivalent to having money to throw away?”

“That’s right! Just speculating in cryptocurrencies has added so much to our company funds. Chairman Lu, you have such good foresight. Although I don’t know the background of Dogecoin, I think it’s quite promising!”

…

They talked about their thoughts at once, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Lu Ming gestured quietly and said, “We should withdraw our investments now. Supervisor Jin, you are in charge of the company’s investments. I will leave this matter to you.”

There was confusion and shock in everyone’s eyes.

Supervisor Jin was a thin and frail young man. He asked carefully, “May I know the reason? If we suddenly withdraw our investments just like that and cause a negative impact…”

“Regardless of whether you believe it or not, the price of Dogecoin will not increase anymore and will plummet. Instead of losing the money you’ve earned, why don’t you stop here? Understand?”

Lu Ming paused for a moment and continued, “I came here today to talk about this matter. You must withdraw all the money by this afternoon. It doesn’t matter even if it attracts other people’s attention.”

“I want all the money back as soon as possible. Do you understand?”

He repeated himself.

“Withdraw all…?” Supervisor Jin said hesitantly, “Are we really not leaving any?”

“Not at all.”

Lu Ming said without hesitation.

“Boss, are you sure this news is true?”

The department head asked doubtfully.

This sentence voiced everyone’s thoughts. Only Ji Yu would always stand on Lu Ming’s side no matter what he said.

“One must know how to be content.”

Lu Ming looked at them meaningfully and said, “If you can’t do it, you can write a resignation letter now. I can’t interfere with your personal investment, but I suggest that you stop at the right time. As for the direction of the investment in the company’s accounts, the company has already made a judgment. I hope you will execute it. Otherwise, don’t say that we didn’t warn you.”

He was implying that they should either do as he said or get lost.

“… Alright, I’ll withdraw all the money within the time you suggested.”

Supervisor Jin pondered for a moment and said decisively.

Although he did not really believe that the price of Dogecoin, having had such a good momentum, would drop, he knew that everyone had been able to earn money because of their boss’s directions.

Perhaps he really had some means to find out in advance! After all, Boss Lu seemed to always be ahead of time.

So he decided to withdraw the money he had invested and leave 10% for more observation. How much losses could he incur with this little bit of money?

Unbeknownst to him, the others were thinking the same thing.

Of course, there were also some who felt that Lu Ming was worrying unnecessarily and had made up their minds not to retreat.

“Then today’s meeting will end here.”

Lu Ming stood up. Just as he was about to step out of the place, he suddenly said, “In addition, I hope that you can try your best to keep this a secret. I don’t want this news to spread.”

But it did not matter if they said it. Those people outside would not believe them.

How could they listen to advice when they were indulging in revelry in the abyss? They might even think that there was a conspiracy!

After he and Ji Yu left, the people in the conference room finally heaved a sigh of relief. The new boss was clearly so young, but the aura he exuded was so scary that they did not even dare to breathe loudly.

“Where do you think CEO Lu got the news? Could it be from the higher-ups… Otherwise, how could he know so quickly?”

“Could it be that a friend overseas got the news first hand? Then this person’s social connections are really broad.”

“I don’t believe it. I’ve checked out our Boss Lu. He doesn’t have any background. He’s just an ordinary person. All of a sudden he has shares out of nowhere.”

“Don’t real big shots hide their identities? He might be the son of a big shot in Beijing.”

“You guys are quite imaginative. It’s better not to talk about Boss Lu behind his back. I’ll take back a portion of the money now. Anyway, I personally quite believe in CEO Lu. Didn’t you see that after he came, our company’s performance improved by many folds? I don’t think he was talking nonsense.”

“Why don’t you say that it’s just a guess? I heard that the reason this new boss suddenly became rich was because he earned money from speculating in currencies. Perhaps he saw that we earned too much and said this out of jealousy.”

…

Lu Ming, who was driving, did not know that they were still discussing him. Even if he knew, he would not mind.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

He immediately stepped on the brakes and slowly rolled down the car window. He smiled and said, “Are you getting off work? If it’s on the way, you can get in.”

Chu Jinyu thought that someone was here to hit on her and was about to reject him when she realized that the voice was very familiar. She looked up in surprise. “Brother Lu Ming?!”

No wonder she found this car familiar.

Then she opened the car door and sat in the front passenger seat. She asked, “Are you going home? Or are you going to discuss a partnership?”

“Home. We just finished discussing it.”

Lu Ming answered, “What have you been doing recently?”

“I’ve been handling the company’s matters. I’m so busy that I haven’t been sleeping well.”

The main reason was still Han Qianjing. If not for her mother keeping a close eye on her, would she have worked so hard? She had given it her all to stay in Shanghai.

“Oh right, do you know about Dogecoin?”

Dogecoin?

Lu Ming glanced at her and said, “What about it?”

She said in high spirits, “My friends overseas said that this thing has good prospects. Many people are playing with it, so I invested hundreds of thousands of yuan with the intention of giving it a try. Well, after just a few days, I have an additional 1.3 million yuan in my account. It’s a small profit.

I’m planning to invest more money now. Dogecoin is one of the larger cryptocurrencies, and its momentum is very strong. Not only are there many buyers, but the price increase is also quite dramatic. I’ve done a little research and it has increased two folds this week. The future is very promising.”

“There’s no threshold for investment.. Even a novice could earn money.”
