A Money-Making Opportunity!!!

These two words came out of Ye Chen's mouth.

In an instant, Zhang Jingshan, Li Changfeng, and Zhao Jiwei all felt their breathing quicken uncontrollably!

Even though Zhao Jiwei had yet to profit alongside Ye Chen, he had heard enough stories from Zhang Jingshan and Li Changfeng.

In his heart, Ye Chen was already revered as the god of investment!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have blindly followed Ye Chen into the high-end real estate market.

At this moment, feeling that an opportunity was near, Zhao Jiwei instinctively held his breath.

"Ye... Ye Ge, what kind of opportunity?" Zhang Jingshan asked, his throat dry.

The memory of profiting over a billion by buying the dip on Stella felt like it happened just yesterday.

Now, hearing Ye Chen mention the word "opportunity" again, Zhang Jingshan's blood was boiling with excitement.

But Ye Chen ignored him and instead turned to Li Changfeng.

"Changfeng, how much leverage can you pull in the U.S. stock market for short selling?"

Although Ye Chen had just told his wife Chen Yinuo that he had no interest in stocks, when faced with a surefire short-term profit, he couldn't let the opportunity slip by.

If there was even the slightest gambling risk, Ye Chen wouldn't touch it.

But with the events of his past life clearly in front of him, Ye Chen couldn't ignore a guaranteed win.

"Short selling U.S. stocks? Ye Ge, which stock are you planning to short?" Li Changfeng's eyes widened at the question.

As Ye Chen smiled without answering, Li Changfeng quickly caught on.

"Ye Ge, it depends on the amount!"

"Let's say ten billion RMB," Ye Chen said.

"Ten billion RMB? Ye Ge, let me think for a moment..."

While Li Changfeng was lost in thought, Zhang Jingshan almost couldn't hold back his questions but ultimately restrained himself.

Moments later, after some mental calculations, Li Changfeng raised his head.

"Ye Ge, fifty times leverage. That's the maximum I can get using all my connections and channels!"

"Fifty times? That's enough!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen's face lit up with satisfaction.

"Ye Ge, if it were the domestic market, I could manage 99 times leverage. But for U.S. stocks, fifty times is my limit. However, even though I can leverage fifty times, the risk is enormous in the U.S. market. If anything goes wrong, fifty times leverage can liquidate everything instantly! The risk factor is extremely high!" Li Changfeng warned seriously.

"There's an old saying, right? The bolder the person, the greater the return. High risk always comes with high reward! Without high risk, how can there be high returns?" Ye Chen chuckled.

"True, but..."

Li Changfeng hesitated briefly, then smiled bitterly.

"But ten billion RMB? Ye Ge, are you planning to throw all your cash into this?"

"It's fine," Ye Chen replied casually.

But Li Changfeng wasn't wrong.

Ye Chen's current cash balance was indeed just about ten billion.

He had previously injected capital into Yi Ren Ru Xue for the acquisition of a contract factory, paid construction fees for Zhang Xingguo's production park, and invested in Jianghu Hotpot's expansion.

All in all, nearly three billion had been spent.

Now, his account held just over ten billion.

Fortunately, Liu Xi from Jianghu Hotpot hadn't requested the full five billion in one go. Otherwise, even this ten billion would have been reduced further.

"Ye Ge, which U.S. stock are you planning to short?"

After Ye Chen's answer, Li Changfeng, realizing his earlier question might have been inappropriate, adjusted his tone and asked directly.

Ye Chen smiled faintly and gave a name that left all three of them frozen in shock.

"Stella."

Silence.

Absolute silence.

In the narrow dining space shaped like a small boat, the three were left dumbfounded.

"Ye... Ye Ge, did I hear that right? You want to short Stella?" Zhang Jingshan looked as if he misheard.

Li Changfeng and Zhao Jiwei also thought they misheard.

Compared to Zhang Jingshan, the two had a deeper understanding of the stock market.

Despite Stella's explosive growth slowing down, the stock was still hot, with continuous capital inflow.

And now, Ye Chen wanted to short it?

This was even crazier than shorting Sihai Group!

Stella and Sihai Group were leagues apart!

"Yes, you heard right—Stella!" Ye Chen repeated.

"Ye Ge, we just profited nearly 80% by buying the dip. And now, you want to short it right after?"

Even though Zhang Jingshan blindly trusted Ye Chen, he couldn't help but question this.

Stella's name carried too much weight!

Recent news had been overwhelmingly positive for Stella's stock price.

Factories worldwide were experiencing supply shortages, and despite high prices and questionable cost-performance, Stella's cars remained in high demand globally.

Shorting Stella under these circumstances... if word got out, people would think the founder of Yi Ren Ru Xue was insane—an unparalleled madman!

"Buying the dip and shorting are two separate things," Ye Chen explained lightly.

Though his explanation clarified nothing, he turned back to Li Changfeng.

"Changfeng, take the ten billion and pull fifty times leverage!"

"Ye Ge, are you sure about the risk?" Li Changfeng's eye twitched.

"Do you really not know me by now?" Ye Chen laughed.

Hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled bitterly, finally understanding.

Indeed, decisiveness was Ye Chen's trademark.

Behind every seemingly insane operation was a calculated, near-certain win.

This time, the only difference was the amount.

"Alright, I'll handle the fifty times leverage. When do we start, Ye Ge?"

"Stella's stock price is at $1,300, right? That's about right. I'll transfer the funds tomorrow—just start leveraging immediately!" Ye Chen replied.

After saying this, he glanced at the three.

"This is a rare opportunity, at least from my perspective. You all can consider joining in."

"I missed out last time following Ye Ge's lead. This time, I'm in for two billion!" Zhao Jiwei declared firmly.

"Three billion for me!" Zhang Jingshan swallowed hard.

Despite knowing how crazy this was, he had unwavering trust in Ye Chen.

"Alright, count me in for three billion as well!" Li Changfeng took a deep breath and smiled.

Their initial shock had been completely replaced by blind trust in Ye Chen.
