Chapter 506: Chapter 228: Beauty, Who Are You Looking For? (Part 2)

Jiang Banxia was quite relaxed, only needing to consider where to move the positions to make announcements each day.

On September 2nd, both funds’ net values rose by one point.

On September 3rd, both funds’ net values advanced further, increasing by two points.

On September 4th, both funds surged by three points.

On September 5th, reaching a new high, both funds’ net values soared by four points, officially surpassing their values from two months ago.

On September 6th, they reached an unprecedented height, with both funds achieving their highest single-day increase, soaring by five points.

This week, Wanliu Capital made announcements on twenty-four stocks, with the total fund scale surpassing 160 billion under stable subscription conditions.

However, the position limits further tightened, with as much as over 70 billion worth of funds being restricted.

Such a large amount of restricted funds is a terrifying figure, and the risks associated with it quickly spread online.

On Friday night, Jiang Banxia reviewed the day’s trades in her study.

She discovered that the stocks she made announcements on all had the same capitals appearing within them.

Of course, this capital had no specific identity, only a code name.

Port City Settlement Center.

It essentially meant foreign capital, as most foreign investments entered through the Port City Settlement Center.

Although Port City’s financial influence isn’t as strong as before, it still wields significant power.

The Hong Kong dollar, this voucher, perfectly resolves the issue of the yuan being restricted globally.

Without exception, for all the announced stocks, the holdings at the Port City Settlement Center skyrocketed.

Some surged by one or two points, others by two or three points, or even four points.

Jiang Banxia thought these were all Li Yang’s funds.

But... Where did Li Yang get so much money?

Compiling all the data, she found that the Port City Settlement Center increased holdings by nearly 40 billion in these more than twenty stocks.

Even if only half of that was Li Yang’s funds, this meant he had over 20 billion in overseas assets?

This...

Using the most conservative calculations, the first few stocks she announced on were definitely Li Yang’s funds, and those alone added up to over 5 billion. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

After a while, she heard the door open, and when she came out to check, Li Yang had arrived.

With a light hint of smoke and alcohol, Jiang Banxia walked over, handed him a pair of slippers, and asked, "Was there an event today?"

"Ah? Yes, a class gathering, where I tricked He Lewei into giving up two bottles of Moutai."

"Made it back?"

"Of course, have we ever lost money eating a meal? I’ll trick that guy again tomorrow, join me."

Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "Sure, sure, I won’t eat lunch tomorrow."

"Hahaha... I’m going to shower first... The smell of smoke on me isn’t from myself, it’s that damn Chen Weixing, sitting right next to me, drinking a bit, one after another, nearly turning me into smoked meat."

"Then just throw your clothes into the washing machine."

...

Jiang Banxia didn’t feel any change from becoming like Li Yang.

No, there was a feeling...

She was no longer as desperate as two months ago.

Sometimes, she even left Li Yang flustered.

But in other matters, Li Yang always appeared so confident.

For example... Another issue brewing these days is Penguin suing Aurora Studio for plagiarism.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds launched four months ago, achieving overwhelming popularity right from the start.

Many people thought its peak was the launch, as too many waited eagerly during that time.

Being a free game, it was natural for everyone to experience it.

Unexpectedly, four months later, not only did it maintain two million users online daily, but it also announced passing fifteen million daily login players a few days ago.

This game became a phenomenon over the past four years, the previous was LOL, though LOL wasn’t as popular domestically, reaching its phenomenon status gradually.

The game is now also available on Steam for free.

As a result, Aurora Studio pays 6 million US dollars annually in advertising fees.

Many shoddy games of the same type online have cultivated a massive user base for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, but now... PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds faces a life-and-death crisis.

Penguin has started pre-warming for PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds 2, with pre-registration exceeding 20 million.

If Penguin wins the lawsuit, it would be a fatal blow to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Besides being labeled as plagiarism, it could face hefty compensations and be forced to alter game mechanics.

By September 2016, LOL had created a value of 130 billion US dollars globally, and Riot Games earned over 5 billion dollars.

Penguin completely owns Riot Games, initially investing less than 700 million dollars.

Having learned from the past, Penguin will definitely not let go this time, clearly, it’s a game capable of generating tenfold or more returns.

Based in Shencheng City, Penguin is dubbed Nanshan Pizza Hut.

No one believes Aurora Studio can win this lawsuit.

The first trial is set for October 8th, a month from now.

Li Yang inquired about Wanliu Capital matters, asking Jiang Banxia not to overwork, to show others’ some results if needed, and not to worry about consequences.

Jiang Banxia wanted to share some of the burden with Li Yang, but he didn’t mention a word about his own matters.

"Master Li, the matter between Penguin and Aurora Studio is going to court soon." She asked proactively.
