After buying things, the junior accountant found a nice Mexican restaurant.

Since it was in a wealthy district, there was basically no danger, so the bodyguard stayed outside, leaving Chen Yiyang and the junior accountant to eat inside.

The characteristics of Mexican food include corn and chili, and for Chen Yiyang, a Northerner, the taste was still tolerable.

But while eating, he still had to drink a lot of water to suppress the spiciness.

Halfway through the meal, the junior accountant suddenly tapped Chen Yiyang's hand.

"What's the matter?" Chen Yiyang curiously looked at the junior accountant.

The junior accountant put his finger on his lips and then pointed to the back booth, signaling Chen Yiyang to listen carefully.

"Recently, the price over at the advertising department under Wang Yang has gone up again, the price per user has increased to five."

"What's going on? Wasn't it always said to be seven in reality and report four, so everyone could split one and a half? How did it raise to five now?"

"Mainly Tencent recently adjusted its management, and the advertising department has performance targets. Our studio has always had too low internal prices, and they've asked for a rise over there. In the future, we have to report five, and however much we can actually give them, it's up to us to figure out."

Chen Yiyang listened carefully at the side for a while and gradually confirmed the identities of the two people.

These two people were actually employees from a game studio at Tencent.

And what they were discussing wasn't work-related matters, but how to commit internal corruption.

The basic principle is like this.

Tencent's game studio wants to advertise on Tencent's platform, which uses internal pricing.

However, the internal accounts of the studio and the advertising department don't communicate.

For every user attracted, the studio's accounts state that the user brings seven, but the advertising department shows they received the internal price of four per user.

This creates a three disparity, and both sides will jointly split this money.

And if the higher-ups audit it, they won't inspect so meticulously.

Moreover, they won't check the accounts of the advertising and game departments together.

Thus, some people from both departments have united to exploit this loophole and make money crazily.

This kind of thing is actually quite common in private enterprises.

Especially the internal corruption issue, it's much more serious in private enterprises than in public units.

Because public units have staff specially responsible for investigating corruption who check internal corruption issues occasionally.

But private enterprises won't spend so much to maintain a team dedicated to integrity management.

This leads to not only widespread but also concealed corruption in private enterprises.

When the boss realizes something is wrong, the company's internals might already be hollowed out by corruption.

For example, some shopping platforms have positions that are very low, yet employees who hold the right to push ads for merchants use their power to shrewdly make money, earning more in a month than their bosses earn in a year.

This results in the entire new channel pushed by the shopping platform being rotten.

When it can't be covered up anymore, the higher-ups take action to investigate.

Chen Yiyang listened quietly for a while and unexpectedly heard a familiar name.

Jian Ming.

Turns out, Jian Ming was part of this game studio before being transferred to manage Dota Alliance's national server.

At the time, he was responsible for bridging the communication for splitting profits between the two sides.

So these two staff members were discussing whether to ask Jian Ming to communicate with the advertising department again to see if they could maintain the price at four.

After all, if they nominally gave the advertising department five, they'd lose a third of their money.

There were many people both above and below them waiting to get paid, and suddenly less money would be hard to explain.

Because these two were traveling in the United States, they weren't worried at all about being overheard, so they spoke candidly and without concealing anything, allowing Chen Yiyang to enjoy listening.

Not long after, the two people in the rear booth finished eating and left.

The junior accountant quietly took out his phone.

"Boss, I recorded it earlier."

"Delete it."

"Ah." The junior accountant was stunned.

"Are you stupid? Recording isn't legal, nor can it be used as evidence. Besides, if I really take this recording to Ma Huateng, he'd think I have ulterior motives."

"Oh, oh." The junior accountant quickly deleted the recording from his phone.

"This sort of thing is a case of nothing happening unless the higher-ups become aware. Once they're aware, they can easily find plenty of evidence without needing a recording."

Chen Yiyang silently noted this matter in his heart.

Although there's no recording, he can approach someone inside Tencent to mention this issue.

He can claim that he learned of it through networking.

Whether the issue is true or false can be determined just by checking accounts.

However, Chen Yiyang does understand why those game studios within Tencent, despite having the backing of a big company, and also using internal pricing on advertising platforms,

Yet their production costs keep increasing.

This advertising issue is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

In the evening, Chen Yiyang returned to the hotel and continued communicating with the hired professional team about purchasing Kuxing's stocks from the penny stock market.

Things went rather smoothly, although such a large scale purchase attracted some investors' attention.

Because the liquidity of the penny stock market is actually very low.

Once most stocks are bought, they become very difficult to sell.

Thus, the daily transaction amounts on the penny stock market aren't high.

Chen Yiyang's massive acquisition of Kuxing's stocks drew attention from some investment institutions.

Team members inquired whether Chen Yiyang wanted to slow the pace of buying to avoid drawing attention and driving up stock prices.

"No need, we'll buy according to the original pace and leave."

Chen Yiyang prepared about twenty million US Dollars to purchase Kuxing stocks circulating on the penny stock market.

Originally, this accounted for over half of the total number of Kuxing stocks in the penny stock market.

However, as the buying continues, Kuxing's stock price on the penny stock market is also continually rising.

When Chen Yiyang got up in the morning, he glanced at his phone.

Today's information, commemorative gold coins: On a street stall in California, a 50 US Dollar commemorative gold coin issued in San Francisco in 1915 is being sold, buy within a thousand US Dollars for a steal.

Note: This gold coin was minted in celebration of the opening of the Panama Canal in 1915.

Related locations and images are included on the second page.

This looks good.

Chen Yiyang saw today's bargain news and casually looked up related news.

Only to find news about the US President wanting to reclaim the Panama Canal.

After flipping through for quite a while, he finally found news related to the gold coin.

After the Panama Canal opened, the government of San Francisco in the United States arranged to mint and sell fourteen hundred 50 US Dollar commemorative gold coins.

However, before the sales, for some unknown reason, they decided to reclaim the coins.

This led to only over four hundred coins flowing to the public, with the rest all destroyed.

Therefore, this kind of coin is currently quite rare, with prices around seventy thousand US Dollars.

However, now news related to the Panama Canal in the United States is quite popular, estimating that the price of this coin might appreciate further.
