“A large amount of assets? How large?” Matthew Chan became stunned. Hearing the words ‘large amount of assets’ from a deputy bank president, this amount must be genuinely terrifying.
“Based on the data we’ve collected, these assets are constantly being pooled from various banks and stock markets around the world. Currently, they’ve gathered close to a total of tens of trillions of Federal coins.” The deputy bank president quickly responded.
Matthew Chan choked on his own saliva, “Tens of trillions of Federal coins?
Where does such a massive amount of fund come from?”
Matthew Chan couldn’t help but be astonished. The influx of such a vast amount of capital would naturally cause fluctuations in the LD’s stock market. Even the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq wouldn’t be able to withstand this amount of capital influx. The mere leak of this information could trigger an enormous shock in the stock and currency markets.
“It has something to do with you, Bank President Chan. The head office has already applied for a business jet for you to fly immediately to the capital.” The deputy bank president spoke up again.
“It involves me?” Matthew Chan looked surprised.
At this moment, Finn Lewis was speechless, “You didn’t mention leveraging Olivia Thatcher. Now, I can’t let her do anything.” Speaking candidly, Finn was truly taken aback. Finn negotiated with Zero about mobilizing funds to push down the stock price of Naspers Limited and then completely acquire its stocks.
Finn came up with this idea, but since he didn’t know how to do it, he simply let Zero take charge. Yet, Zero charged him ten thousand points for this endeavor. Nevertheless, Finn still paid the price; earning ten billion Federal coins was more beneficial than giving that money to MIH.
However, Finn couldn’t figure out how to lower a company’s stock price. Zero was now letting Finn realize that the funds from the foundation Finn believed were being controlled by Olivia Thatcher. The reason Zero entrusted Olivia Thatcher with this task was to make it known to the outside world.
At this moment, bank managers worldwide couldn’t sleep. Each one was anxious, watching the terrifying influx of funds into the LD stock market. Whether it’s the stock market, futures, or currency, there’s a concept of financial leverage. Sometimes, with 10 billion Federal coins, one can leverage trillions, or even tens of trillions of Federal coins in the stock or futures market! Although 1:100 financial leverage is risky, it isn’t impossible.
So what happens when the funds themselves already amount to tens of trillions of Federal coins? Unless all banks worldwide unite, it would be impossible to stop this terrifying scale of funds from doing anything they want. Even if they use at 1:10 financial leverage, the fund they can leverage would still reach 100 trillion Federal coins!
Such vast capital is something that even the North Federation officially cannot contest, let alone anyone else. At this moment, Lawrence Rodger and Oscar Blair were summoned via phone call directly to their computers. Regardless of where they were, they quickly received the news from their accounts associated with Floral Group and the Rhine Kingdom Bank.
The one aggregating the funds was the reputable foundation that had been around for decades, even centuries. When Oscar Blair learned of this news, the first thing he thought of was Finn Lewis’s connection with this well-established foundation. Honestly, initially neither the Red Flower Bank nor the Rhine Kingdom Bank assumed any connection between Finn Lewis and this foundation.
However, when Finn announced that he held a 27% stake in Activision Blizzard, both the Floral Investment Group and the Rhine Kingdom Bank immediately knew that Finn has an indescribable relationship with this foundation. At this moment, both the Floral Investment Group and the Reeve Silver group felt a sudden clarity – they finally understood where Finn’s funds came from!
Finn, being an investor in their bank, was undoubtedly subjected to their scrutiny. Although they couldn’t investigate Finn’s identity, they had a rough idea that he must have been an ordinary person before. But where did Finn’s funds come from, as if they were never-ending?
When Finn announced his stake in Activision Blizzard, they had an epiphany, and immediately determined that Finn must have an unspeakable connection with this well-established foundation. Finn might even be the main speculator of this fund, or even the new generation main controller of the well-established investment foundation!
Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to explain how Finn was able to mobilize such massive capital. After investigating the sources of Finn’s mysterious funds several times, they identified the actions of this old investment fund — subtle yet lucrative actions. They realized that Finn might indeed be the operator of this fund!
There’s also the possibility that Finn was a new generation investor nurtured by this well-established fund. In the field of financial investment, there’s no distinction of age. If Finn holds such a status, it would then be easy to explain his source of mysterious funds.
Such investors, like Hawking, receive extraordinarily high salaries. They don’t earn billions in annual salary but directly take a cut from the profits. Typically, main investors take a fifty percent cut!
What does this mean? Simply put, if Finn set up a foundation and ten billionaires gave him 10 billion Federal coins for him to invest on their behalf, if Finn earned profit equal to the principal in a futures market, then Finn would take 50%, or 5 billion Federal coins, as his salary.
The remaining 5 billion Federal coins would then be the profits that these wealthy investors could share. Even then, if there were truly competent investors, billionaires would scramble to invest with them despite the high cost. For instance, many billionaires were willing to provide funds for
Hawking, who finally only invested for his family.
Not everyone in the capital market has such a sharp sense of smell and terrifying insight! After Red Flower Bank and Rhine Kingdom Bank understood all this, they immediately almost confirmed that Finn was absolutely an investor of this old foundation. For instance, the foundation earned a profit of approximately 20 billion Federal coins in the futures market, and subsequently, a large sum of money suddenly appeared in Finn’s hand. Following these funds to its account of origin, it originated from this old foundation’s account..
