My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 207 Stock Market Takeoff, Soaring Assets!

"Sirius City has issued a decree from the Immortal Abode without the mayor's signature?"

After listening to Zhu Siqi's description, Li Wei immediately realized that the Demon Heaven Sect was probably already prepared to start an uprising in Tianlang City, otherwise they would not have issued the illegal Immortal Mansion Order so openly.

After all, this thing is too distinctive, so any cultivator with a little common sense would immediately realize that the security system of the Immortal Mansion in Tianlang City has been compromised!

So to say,

Surely someone has already reported this to the various immortal abodes?
Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Li Wei's eyes, and he said to Zhu Siqi on the other end of the phone, "Minister, please continue to stand by in Tianlang City. Reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Without waiting for a response, Li Wei hung up the phone: "All I need to do now is let the incident escalate, and then I'll have the perfect excuse to intervene in Tianlang City."

It's still a million lives.

Let's save as much as we can!

But before that, I need to buy the stocks quickly.

The next morning!
The moment Zhongzhou's stock opened, Li Wei immediately took out the 150 billion yuan in cash he had previously obtained from Zhongzhou Group and deposited it all into the stock market, beginning a frenzied acquisition of shares in Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group.

It's worth mentioning that because Li Wei previously received 150 billion in spirit stones, and recently with the update of the Heavenly Dao 7.19 version, paper money has depreciated again, so his spirit stones, which were originally worth 150 billion, were eventually exchanged for about 170 billion in cash.

Recently, the value of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical's stock has plummeted from a high of 17789 yuan to 114.7 yuan, a drop of more than 100 times!
As soon as Li Wei entered the market, he bought nearly 50 million shares in one go, and then continued to buy more shares at a frenzy.

"Even if it doesn't rise back to its peak, just a tenfold increase would be enough resources for my Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages!"

"If it can rise back to its highest point..."

hiss!
Then I'd be a trillionaire!

Even some small divine bloodline families might not be able to accumulate such wealth over ten thousand years, right?
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Central Perspective newspaper.

The editor-in-chief in charge of the Immortal Abode's political affairs section pulled over one of his reporters and said with a serious face, "Someone from the East Sea just paid a lot of money to commission an article, asking us to suppress Inspector Li Wei over the next few months. Do you have any negative news about him?"

The editor-in-chief hasn't been in a good mood lately.

Because he heavily invested in Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical, the pharmaceutical sector crashed, and all his stocks were trapped. He couldn't even sell them at a loss, so he secretly took on orders from various sources to make money.

This time, he happened to meet a major client from Donghai, and he absolutely couldn't miss the opportunity.

The reporter became excited upon hearing Li Wei's name: "This rising star in law enforcement appears upright on the surface, but he's actually a beast in disguise! Not only does he have illicit affairs, but he even sleeps with female ghosts! It's outrageous! I have several bombshells; should I reveal them all?"

"Send it, why don't you send it?"

The editor-in-chief picked up his tea and said with a smile, "Now that Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group is in dire straits, and Special Envoy Huang Xiang should be returning to the Heavenly Court soon, this hypocrite has lost his protector, so it's time to let the cultivators know his true colors."

The reporter laughed!
He enjoyed watching these geniuses fall from grace, and suddenly his mind was filled with inspiration, finding several good angles to start writing: "Then I'll go write the article now."

Just then, a piercing ringing sound rang out.

Beep beep!

Beep beep!

The editor-in-chief and the reporter's phones rang at the same time. They exchanged a glance, quickly answered the calls, and then froze on the spot.

"What?! The Immortal Abode System of Sirius City has been hacked, and the entire city is completely out of contact?!"

This is huge news!

The editor-in-chief immediately stood up, rushed into the office while answering the phone, and roared at everyone, "All reporters, come to this office for a meeting immediately! Tomorrow's front page headline has changed, and no one is allowed to go home tonight!"

Compared to the fact that an entire city had gone missing, Li Wei's gossip was insignificant, so the editor-in-chief had already forgotten about it.

"First reporter team, head to the outskirts of Tianlang City for a live broadcast immediately! Beware of danger! Charge towards wherever there is danger. I'll get you insurance right away!"

"The second reporter team will disperse to various cities and districts near Sirius City to interview these immortal abodes about their attitudes and to see if they are preparing for war!"

"The rest of you are on standby with me, ready to provide support," the editor-in-chief said, then suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right! Send another team to Xinhai City. We must interview Special Envoy Huang Xiang and see his attitude towards this matter!"

"Yes!!"

The well-trained reporters packed their camera equipment like a pack of wolves and rushed into the dedicated teleportation channel set up by the Zhongzhou Perspective newspaper office, heading towards their interview targets.

After arranging the work, the editor-in-chief subconsciously took out his phone and stared at the other newspapers' competitors, wondering if they would publish their articles first.

In journalism,

Time is life!
If someone else has already published their draft, then I'm sorry, my copy-and-paste skills will have to come in handy!

While he was browsing, a window suddenly popped up on his phone. It was the Zhongzhou Stocks app notifying him that someone was buying his Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical shares.

"Hahaha! Finally, a real scumbag has taken the fall!"

The editor-in-chief was overjoyed.

He didn't sell when Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical fell to 13000; he was planning to wait and see.

He didn't sell when the price dropped to 9000, thinking that since things were already like this, he might as well just lie low.

As a result, with the release of the Tiandao 7.19 version, Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical plummeted to the daily limit of 114.7. This was something he couldn't tolerate!

If we don't sell now and exit the market, it won't just be a financial disaster, it will be a complete loss!
The editor-in-chief, eager to leave, glanced at the newcomer's purchase price: 141?

Huh?
Can Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group's stock still rise?
The editor-in-chief sensed something was amiss and subconsciously performed a divination using his fingers.

As journalists, they are naturally skilled in divination, but the stock market involves countless cultivators across the three realms and five continents, and even countless gods. Every second there are countless changes, so even gods cannot predict it.

He naturally couldn't figure it out either.

So he chose to add the other person as a friend and ask directly.

[Air Force Angler: Bro, do you have some inside information? Can you share it so we can all get rich?][1 RMB red envelope, I'll treat you to tea.]

[I really don't know how to trade stocks: I'm just trying to buy at the bottom; if you don't want to sell, that's fine too.]

After careful consideration, the editor-in-chief concluded that unless the 7.19 version of the game introduced favorable policies for the pharmaceutical industry, there was no way Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical's stock would rise. So, after much deliberation, he decided to sell.

[Air Force Angler: Sell, sell, sell! If you can eat it all, I'll sell it to you.]

140 it is, at least it's sold!

So the editor-in-chief's savings of over a billion yuan spent on stocks eventually amounted to only tens of millions of yuan, and even then, he still had to thank the other party.

[Air Force Angler: Thank you, brother! Your intervention at a time like this is like a living Buddha! I'm truly grateful!]

[I really don't know anything about stock trading: You're welcome, it's all part of my job!]

After selling the stock, the editor-in-chief felt much more relaxed. Thinking about the big news in Tianlang City, he felt like he had double the joy.

"Could it be that today is my lucky day?"

Just as he was thinking this, his stock trading app suddenly beeped urgently. This was the alert tone he had specifically set for Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group's stock; if this tone sounded, it meant...
The editor-in-chief suddenly opened the app and saw that the stock of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, which he had just shorted, had actually started to rise!

How the hell can it still go up?!
What exactly is going on?

When the editor-in-chief opened his phone, the stock of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group had already risen from 114.7 to 277. But in the very second that he was stunned, it jumped from 277 to 689!

It's absolutely insanely priced in!

There was a click.

The sound of a Dao Heart shattering echoed in the air.

The editor-in-chief's vision went black for a moment, and he collapsed to the ground, consumed by rage.

But after falling, he immediately got back up, unwilling to give up.

"Why? Why did things turn out this way?"

Even if it meant his death, he had to figure out what was going on first. So he quickly turned on his phone, entered his stock trading group, and saw the short essay circulating among the fellow patients.

Chung Chou Pharmaceutical froze its layoff process at 11:03 AM today and began large-scale interviews with pharmacists who had already been dismissed.

[On November 11.30th, Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical restarted its pharmaceutical production line, then spent 1 trillion to purchase large quantities of various healing and combat-enhancing medicinal materials and potions in Zhongzhou! At the same time, news began to circulate in coastal areas that the Immortal Abode System of Tianlang City had been hacked, and the entire city was completely out of contact!]

At 11:40 AM, a large influx of capital began buying up shares of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group.

Connecting all these things, the final conclusion is just two words!

war?

A war is about to break out in Sirius City!

I just found out about what happened in Sirius City, so why didn't I think of it?

That's how things are sometimes in the world. Even if you've discovered some clues, you might not realize the problem, or even if you do realize the problem, you might not make a decision right away, and thus miss a crucial opportunity.

The editor-in-chief, looking at the Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group stock that he had sold at a low price, was so enraged that his vision went black and he spat out a mouthful of blood!

Then immediately following,

He then picked up his phone as if waking from a dream.

[Air Force Angler: Bro! I'm not selling my shares in Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical!]

[Air Force Angler: Answer me! You fucking answer me!]

[Air Force Angler: Waaaaah! Please give me back my stocks! If you really can't, I'll buy them back at a higher price, okay?]

No one responded.

The editor-in-chief finally lost control and started cursing wildly in the chat: [You bastards! You must have known beforehand, right? I'm reporting you for cheating! I'm asking the Heavenly Court to investigate you!!]

[Ding! The other party is no longer your friend!]

The editor-in-chief couldn't catch his breath and finally fainted.

The world of cultivation is just that cruel.

On this night, countless cultivators suffered losses due to the collapse of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical's stock, while countless others managed to recover their losses by holding on until the very end and seeing a rebound.

But those who actually made a fortune were the ones who got the news early on!

Li Wei entered the market at a low point and eventually bought about 120 million shares at an average purchase price of around 140 yuan. As a result, the stock price of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group soared from 140 yuan to 1724 yuan in just two hours after the market opened the next morning.

Li Wei's assets have grown from 170 billion to over 2000 billion, more than tenfold.

However, as intelligence about the war in Sirius City began to circulate, other pharmaceutical companies also realized the opportunity and started to publish numerous articles.
In a little while, it was said that the Bian Que Group had reached an agreement with the Central Plains Immortal Abode.

Soon it will be Old Dong from the Northern Wilderness Alchemy Cauldron heading to the Central Plains again.

In short, the fake news is getting more and more convincing.

As a result, many uninformed investors began to divert their funds, and the stock prices of several pharmaceutical companies in Zhongzhou showed signs of bottoming out and rebounding.

Too many people were diverted to Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, which was not good news. As a result, their stock price fell from 1724 yuan back to 1100 yuan, and Li Wei's assets shrank by tens of billions of yuan on the spot.

However, he remained completely calm.
Because the real madness has only just begun!
