Chapter 587: Chapter 494 Tasteless Arbitrage Profits (Please Subscribe!)_1
Meanwhile.
Wang Yan wasn’t in Qingyan City but had already arrived in Shanghai. After visiting the leadership of the Shanghai Music Academy, she was wandering around Shanghai with her mother, waiting for her to start school. Once school starts, her mother would then return. As for her father, Wang Sheng, he has already returned to Qingyan city due to his various commitments.
In a suite of a grand hotel.
Wang Yan was absent-mindedly reading a book on music, while her mother was enthusiastically watching a martial arts movie by Jackie Chan. She hadn’t done much over the summer vacation, instead, she had been studying singing in a short-term training course in Beijing and had finished all her courses last week. She had already made arrangements with the Shanghai side and was just waiting for the start of school.
Due to the intense coursework.
She didn’t know whether Tang Qing’s girlfriend Lin Jiaxue was nearby, so she hadn’t had a chat with Tang Qing or even a single phone call. Today, bored, she opened QQ and while chatting with her best friends, she suddenly saw a few words from Tang Qing.
After a moment of surprise.
A happy smile appeared on Wang Yan’s face. Taking a glance at her mother who paid no attention to her, Wang Yan quickly replied, "I am reading, and am already in Shanghai, staying in a hotel with my mother. Just finished school interviews and will register in a few days, where are you?"
Wang Yan’s response was near-instant. Thus, Tang Qing started a conversation with Wang Yan.
"I am at my uncle’s house, and will set off for Shanghai tomorrow."
Upon hearing that Tang Qing would come to Shanghai, Wang Yan was overjoyed and replied quickly: "That’s great, would you like for us to have a small get-together with Li Kai before school starts?" If they were alone, she wouldn’t dare to go as it could lead to misunderstandings.
Tang Qing remained silent for more than ten seconds.
Seeing Tang Qing’s delayed reply, Wang Yan grew nervous, fearing that Tang Qing would disagree.
"Sure, why not." What else could Tang Qing say anyway?
Seeing this message, Wang Yan couldn’t conceal her joy and replied, "What have you been doing over summer vacation? I followed my teacher and studied the basics of music for two months but didn’t have much fun."
"Well, last month I..."
Like this.
Wang Yan and Tang Qing chatted away, back and forth. Tang Qing felt a bit helpless, but Wang Yan was extremely interested. Eventually, seeing that it was getting late, Tang Qing hurriedly ended the topic.
Only then did Wang Yan stop.
Tang Qing wiped the cold sweat from his brow as he shut off his phone.
Such ’awkward chatting’ was indeed a bit tiring, much less interesting than hearing someone’s voice.
Moreover, they had also agreed to meet for a meal in a few days. At that time Tang Qing really wanted to refuse but didn’t have the heart. Damn, he was making things difficult for himself again, having to face another awkward meal. Tang Qing could only go on with his training.
After more than a month of training.
He basically had complete control over ’Psychic Barrier’ and ’Magnetic Resonance’. However, due to the density of his psychic power, the Psychic Barrier still couldn’t block bullets, so he had to give up for now.
Besides waiting for the completion of the achievement tasks, there was no other way.
As for ’Magnetic Resonance’, he had progressed quickly. Now, besides his feet, he could also form psychic nodes throughout his body. He could now form nine psychic nodes at the same time, essentially enabling basic floating and slower flight, as well as performing complex body movements in mid-air.
His flying speed was only a little slow, also limited by the density of his psychic power.
Tang Qing estimated that if his psychic power density reached over ten, his flying speed could reach up to hundreds of kilometers per hour. Because this was not the controller’s own flight, but the formation of repulsion between the psychic nodes and the planetary magnetic field, like the north poles of two permanent magnets, one time of magnetization could basically maintain the magnetism permanently.
The psychic nodes are somewhat similar, so the depletion is very small, and flying for half a day isn’t tiring at all, unlike the ’Psychic Barrier’, which consumes more psychic power.
Now Tang Qing has stopped training these two skills.
And is cultivating a new skill.
’Psychic Filament’
As the name suggests, from a point to a line, from one-dimensional to two-dimensional, this is an advanced progressive skill, mainly to enhance the control of psychic power, to avoid wasting it unlike before, each time it was used externally, it gushed out, causing serious waste. Once proficient, the usage time of psychic power will be much longer.
Although it seems useless for the time being, looking at the long run, it is a required skill.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the price of one billion RMB be wasted?
No need to waste money like that. Wasting is shameful.
Thinking of money.
Tang Qing became upset again.
No.
He was very upset.
The reason is simple, it is because the arbitrage profits of this period have drastically reduced, down to the point where it is tasteless to eat but wasteful to discard. Each time he looked at the new money added to his accounts every day, Tang Qing got into a bad mood.
What Tang Qing didn’t expect was that the international exchange rate of the Euro to RMB plunged continuously over the past two months. As of now, it has directly plummeted to below 10.5, which means that the internal exchange price in the system has become 1:10, but it used to be 1:11, seemingly not much, but Tang Qing was making money from that seemingly small difference in exchange rate.
Now, this represents a rapid decrease in arbitrage profits between the dollar and the euro, with the arbitrage space being constantly compressed. There were nearly twenty million RMB in profits each day at the end of last month, but now there are only about ten million per day this month, and the numbers continue to plummet. How miserable!
However, now he has too many money-making channels, so the existence or absence of this money does not matter much. But even a mosquito is meat, and he can only hope that there will be some new currency during the next upgrade. Otherwise, the existing currencies are quite useless.
...
August 23rd.
Tuesday.
Half past six in the evening.
Pudong International Airport Terminal 2 exit in Shanghai.
Tang Qing and the two others arrived here. In addition to Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue, there’s also Li Kai.
The start dates of their schools are almost the same, only a day or two apart, so they’re just going together. The Li family patriarch, Li Jianguo, gave up on his insistence to send off his son, Li Kai, when he found out that the boy would be travelling with Tang Qing.
Li Jianguo had noticed his son’s changes during this time, seemingly maturing overnight. He stopped complaining, was diligent, and humble. Although he didn’t know the reason, it was clearly a good thing. Li Jianguo attributed it to Tang Qing’s influence on him.
As for Li Kai’s girlfriend, she did not come along because of her parents’ worry and chose to accompany her personally. They plan to take a train in a few days, so Li Kai didn’t insist on joining them.
Instead he joined Tang Qing to roam around Shanghai first.
Just as they exited the airport, Tang Qing saw Shen Yi waving to them from the outside. This was something that they had agreed on earlier; Shen Yi was entrusted with the task of showing them around these coming days and familiarizing them with the terrain.
Although it was a Tuesday.
But since the boss had arrived, his reception fell as his responsibility, a significant task.
This month, Shen Yi has been very busy. The newly minted Comet Film and Television Company needed everything from purchasing to recruitment, but thankfully they finally reached the standard initially set by Sky Eye.
As for the future, Sky Eye no longer interferes with specific tasks, their work plans and progress need to be determined by themselves. But no one dares to be too relaxed, it’s simple, because if they slack off, Sky Eye has professional evaluators to assess their work. If reported to Tang Qing, no one would gain anything from it, so no one feels like they could be at ease. They could only say that it was a little more relaxed.
Sky Eye.
Shen Yi felt this name was befitting, literally using invisible eyes to monitor their work every day.
"Brother Shen, you seem to have lost a lot of weight, please pay more attention to rest." Tang Qing looked at Shen Yi’s fatigued eyes with a little embarrassment, he was also receiving regular updates about the rapid progress of the brand-new Comet Film and Television Company via email, and was fully aware of the team’s fatigue.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi looked at Tang Qing with a touch of rebuke and then responded with a bitter smile: "Thanks for your concern, I am OK. In the future, the company’s affairs won’t be as busy." After saying that, he turned to Lin Jiaxue and Li Kai, "Jiaxue, Xiao Kai, how are you guys? Come, let’s go and find a place to stay. My car is parked not far away."
After finishing.
Tang Qing and the others followed Shen Yi to the parking lot.
Seeing the car, Tang Qing was startled, Shen Yi hurriedly explained: "This is not my car, a friend lent it to me, as you know, I don’t have much money, I still commute by subway for work."
At this point, Shen Yi couldn’t help but make a bitter smile. As the son of Shanghai’s deputy mayor, he was squeezing himself into the subway and would be embarrassed if everyone found out about it. But there was nothing he could do about it as taking the subway was more efficient than driving, his own car was not good enough for people to see, and he even considered sharing his father’s official car. But he didn’t dare to voice this out when his rationality defeated his ’poverty’ thoughts.
It turns out that the car Shen Yi drove was the same model as his uncle’s.
"I initially wanted to borrow a car from Pan Yue, but he is out of the country and won’t be back until next month." Shen Yi said while opening the trunk. After Tang Qing and the others put their luggage away, they got into the car.
Although the interior was good, it was clearly older than his uncle’s car.
"Brother Shen, how’s the plan for today?" Tang Qing asked.
Shen Yi immediately said: "We will go to eat first, I know a very delicious Sichuan restaurant, it is cost-effective. Ah, Brother Tang, you should know, even though my father has a lot of power, I am really poor, I had to prepay two months of salary just to treat you to a meal, I’m just praying the boss can raise my salary."
After saying that, Shen Yi looked at Tang Qing through the rearview mirror, his eyes filled with a hint of mischief.
Tang Qing was speechless for a moment.
No one else could reach your level of richness if they were a second-generation tycoon.
He also somewhat understood why many second-generation tycoons were so desperate for money. It’s not always really about spending money themselves, but about being forced by the circumstances. Damn, if another second-gen tycoon came, you’d be treating them to a meal at a food stall. How can you improve relations like that?
Take Shen Yi, for example.
If Shen Yi could only afford to treat them to a meal at a food stall or a hot pot meal, Tang Qing would not look forward to getting together with him next time.
It’s rare to see a second-generation tycoon like Shen Yi, but it also displays his character, which is not bad. Seeing Shen Yi’s ’miserable’ state, Lin Jiaxue and Li Kai couldn’t help but laugh secretly.
"If you work hard, it’s a given that your salary will go up. Your boss should not be that stingy." Tang Qing immediately said.
"Hehe, of course, our boss is quite generous. He will surely give me a lot of year-end bonuses. Isn’t that right, Brother Tang?" Shen Yi chuckled.
Faced with Shen Yi’s ’hostage-taking’, Tang Qing directly replied with two words.
"Guess."
Shen Yi:...
