The celebration banquet for Tianxing Finance, although strictly forbidding outside attendees, did not impose any restrictions on mobile phones and other communication devices for company employees. Just as the interactive games between men and women were in full swing, some photos and news from the celebration appeared online. "Whoa, this sort of life is so decadently extravagant. Damn, I really yearn for it." "Extravagant wastefulness, drunken revelry, and wanton indulgence suddenly become tangible." "I remember Liangzi wasn’t before; how did going to Xiangjiang corrupt him?" "Capitalism: blame me?" Besides discussing, netizens were also curious about how much US dollar Tianxing Finance had made from shorting Neon this time. After all, even gifts worth more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars are considered small, and each of the two hundred people’s bonuses has five Hong Kong dollars as a small target. How much did they earn to be so grandiose? However, since Tianxing Finance settled in Xiangjiang, Tianxing Private Equity was left with only three unsettled private placements, and the investors of these three placements were essentially investment banks at home and abroad. Until a blogger named "Boastful Talk" reposted an article from the Wall Street Journal. For a moment, it caused an uproar across the country. "Financial Satan: Lu Liang! The returns from Tianxing Finance’s shorting of Neon are definitely far beyond public imagination..." The article analyzed Tianxing Finance’s previous holdings of approximately $275 billion in cash flow and Lu Liang’s past speculative style as a basis for bold speculation. "Although I am unwilling to believe that a fund manager holding billions of dollars would completely lack risk awareness and invest so much in a high-risk project, Lu Liang is a magical man; if it’s him, maybe there’s such a possibility." "The following is just my personal speculation, without any factual basis, and I won’t make any commitments." The author of the article used currently known intelligence for reverse deduction, such as Tianxing Finance putting up signs at thirteen companies with an investment of $65 billion. He speculated that Tianxing would hold cash flow of $275 billion and invest approximately $137.5 billion in yen and Japanese stocks. Given the existence of the signage plan, investing half of the cash flow and retaining one-fourth of the total cash flow is the most reasonable speculation. Knowing Tianxing Finance’s total investment in Neon’s two stock markets makes estimating the profit amount not difficult. Because with such a large amount of funding, no financial institution can help provide additional funds. Tianxing could only use the most primitive method and directly hedge with the Japan Central Bank, which means zero leverage. "The highest US-Japan exchange rate is 141 yen and the lowest is 112 yen, with a decline of 25.12%." "The Nikkei 225 Index’s highest point was 20,652 points and the lowest was 16,282 points, with a decline of 27.23%." "Assuming Tianxing sold at the highest point and bought at the lowest point each time, taking the midpoint of the two at 26.175%, we can conclude that the profit this time was $359 billion." The article was crazily reposted by media from various countries, leading to hot discussions among netizens worldwide. Domestic netizens: "Holy cow, more than 300 billion US dollars, suddenly Liangzi seems a bit petty; the bonuses and gifts aren’t even 0.3% of the total profit." Neon netizens: "Amazing, Mr. Lu Liang is indeed the man we admire." Korean netizens: "Trembling... First Xiangjiang, then Neon, are we going to be next?" European and American netizens: "Finally, an Eastern financial giant emerges; Wall Street institutions may be in peril." At the same moment, Lu Liang was playing "train," the kind played by kids in kindergarten, not the kind involving human centipedes. "Gogogo, let’s go~~~" Lu Liang, shaking his head, took on the role of the train engine, followed by a dozen youthful and beautiful models. The dining table served as a station, stopping at each station to draw a magic card by chance. The surprise involves receiving a bonus, the shock requires drinking, and there’s a big adventure, like an impromptu hot dance. Xu Jiawei found him with a phone call. Lu Liang waved his hand to stop the "train": "End of the line, ladies, please disembark." He didn’t care whether the girls behind him had fun or not, as long as he was having a good time. After glancing at the caller ID, Lu Liang walked aside to answer the call succinctly: "Speak!" "Speak what?" asked Little Wang, puzzled. "If there’s something to say, say it; if it’s a fart, let it out." Lu Liang responded irritably, "Don’t you know I’m busy?" "Busy with the silver party?" "If you know, why ask?" "I didn’t want to disturb you; it’s just that everyone knows we have a good relationship, and I’m a bit shameless, so sometimes others want to know, there’s nothing I can do." Little Wang rambled on, his words going in circles, until Lu Liang grew impatient and accompanied by a smile asked: "I heard you made over 300 billion dollars this time?" Lu Liang was startled and instinctively refuted, then suddenly asked: "Where did you hear this gossip?" "It’s trending on Weibo, it’s definitely not rumors, at least it’s middle-ground news." Little Wang explained the origins, unconvinced and confirmed again: "Really not?" "If you’re missing those profits, can you compensate me?" asked Lu Liang sourly. Little Wang apologized with a smile: "Have a great time." After ending the call with Little Wang, Lu Liang’s gaze turned unfriendly, muttering softly: "Damn, someone always wants to undermine me." Using known information for reverse deduction of their positions and earnings, unless the other party is as clever and cheeky as him. Lu Liang refused to believe such deductions came without some enthusiastic revelation from a certain Wall Street institution. He pondered for a moment, calling Sun Yutao: "Leave it to you, I have things to do and will leave first." Having said that, Lu Liang turned and left. Leaving behind a few girls who had a great time, glancing at each other with puzzled expressions. Unsure what they did wrong, why Lu Liang left without even giving them another look. They were having so much fun just now, some even fantasizing about catching a golden beau tonight. "Keep partying, tonight, no one walks out standing!" Sun Yutao glanced at them, shaking his head with a laugh, took over Lu Liang’s baton, and continued to maintain the lively atmosphere. Meanwhile, Lu Liang stepped out of Victoria Harbour Building, took a car back to the company, turned to Xu Jiawei: "How’s the investigation going?" Xu Jiawei lowered his head to check the data: "There’s a rumor we made over $300 billion; the investors on the Neon side seem to have many objections." He had just glanced at the 2CH forum where the current discussions were detrimental to Lu Liang, making it look like the brainless fans were indeed a minority, and the angry ones were more prevalent. "Easy to conquer, difficult to defend." Lu Liang suddenly lamented, although the Wall Street group still hasn’t figured out his plans, he didn’t want to integrate into Neon’s market too easily. Xu Jiawei pondered for a moment, quietly saying: "Mr. Lu, this might not be a bad thing." Lu Liang asked: "How so?" "We still have Alipay’s billion-dollar subsidy plan; maybe this could build an image of robbing the rich to give to the poor." Xu Jiawei carefully observed Lu Liang’s reaction, adding: "This is just my clumsy opinion." Lu Liang looked at Xu Jiawei cheerfully: "Little Xu, do you also want to venture out?" Xu Jiawei was startled, hastily expressing: "It’s my honor to be by Mr. Lu’s side and learn from you." "Don’t talk nonsense, having such an idea is good; after all, Wen Chao and Zhuo Yifan can now stand on their own." Lu Liang laughed, pondered for a moment, then said: "On Monday, you should go to Neon with the Ant Financial team. If you can help, do so; if not, just take it as a learning experience. But before leaving, help me pick a few spare secretaries again." Xu Jiawei was about to refuse but agreed so quickly that it made him seem eager to leave Lu Liang’s side. Suddenly, he heard a sentence by his ear: "Opportunities come only once, think carefully before you decide." Xu Jiawei contemplated deeply then said seriously: "Wherever Mr. Lu wants me to go, I’ll go." Lu Liang sighed, speaking indifferently: "Start preparing tomorrow, leave with the Ant Financial team on Monday to Neon." "Okay, I will not let you down." Xu Jiawei frowned, not as happy as he imagined. He wasn’t sure if it was his illusion, but he felt Lu Liang’s attitude towards him had changed slightly. Lu Liang added: "Go get me some midnight snacks, porridge in a clay pot would be great, I need to make a few more calls." Xu Jiawei nodded and left; Lu Liang suddenly looked up at his departing figure and sighed deeply: "I think it’s not possible; it has to be that you think so, kid." Back when Wen Chao stayed in Neon to develop Xingheng, and Zhuo Yifan stayed with Tianxing Automobile starting from the grassroots.

Though just one word different, it reflects whether a person has responsibility.
