But when Yi Anguo orders a reduction, it happens, and no one can oppose it. Yi Anguo's reasoning is to seize the opportunity while it's good; if you wait until the stock price plummets, it'll be too late to reduce.
However, in the first half of January 2010, the stock price kept rising, which started to make people doubt Yi Anguo's approach as a boss.
Fortunately, in the second half of January, the global stock market economy began to cool down, the stock price started to fall, and continued to decline without respite.
At this moment, everyone realized that the boss was indeed more impressive, as he had anticipated the market trends in advance.
In fact, Yi Anguo only had such a keen insight due to the advantage of being reborn.
But he could also choose not to act, as the market correction is only temporary, and by July, it would hit a bottom, after which it will soar again.
Yet, why not act when you can sell at a high price and buy more at a low price to profit from the difference?
Without mentioning the profits, it's at least around 30%.
30% of 10 billion is 3 billion, and 30% of 100 billion, that's 30 billion.
If it's in US Dollars, that's even more astounding.
In over a year, Yi Anguo profited over hundreds of billions of US Dollars from international oil futures, but he also invested a lot of money in various places, such as Hua Xing Technology, Hua Xin International, Anguo Network Technology Service Company, also known as Anjing Online Supermarket.
Additionally, there's Anjing Times Square, Microelectronics Group, Anguo Bank, Anguo Furniture, Anguo Automobile Manufacturing Co., Anguo Property Company, and many real estate properties under his name.
Besides, the investment department provided venture capital to various companies and acquired some companies, alongside investments in research projects.
However, the funds invested in the stock market still held the majority, and investments in US stocks, due to buying up the four major US banks, yielded profits of three hundred and fifty billion US Dollars.
However, the bottom purchases of companies like Apple, Amazon, and Google also involved huge sums of US Dollars, although profits have multiplied several times, due to being long-term holdings, they can't be realized at present, and profits are only on paper.
Such a massive reduction this time could bring in a significant amount of funds, and re-investing in these company stocks after half a year wouldn't require as much money.
Now, recovering 100 billion US Dollars, only 70 billion US Dollars would be needed by then, and his reduction this time can at least recover 300 billion US Dollars, and between the buying and selling, a hundred billion US Dollars can be saved.
With this hundred billion US Dollars cash in hand, there are plenty of things he can do, including the yearly investment needed for research expenses.
To catch up in technology, which falls behind, the cost is undoubtedly enormous, and time waits for no one. If you want to expedite the process, there is only one way: to spend money lavishly, throw money at hiring more technical experts and professionals, bring them back to the country for tech R&D, there's no second option.
If Yi Anguo didn't engage in R&D, didn't establish Microelectronics Group, didn't set up Hua Xin International, didn't establish Hua Xing Technology, then his life would be quite relaxed.
Making money for him is too easy: investing in real estate, buying more houses, and waiting for them to appreciate.
Or investing in stocks of companies with potential to rise, and wait for the stock prices to soar.
But since heaven has given him a chance to be reborn, there are things he feels obligated to do; no matter how much money, it's just numbers, but some things hold significant meaning once done.
Before the Spring Festival, Yi Anguo flew to the US again, Anguo Group organized an exchange meeting in the US involving Chinese students studying abroad and those working in various industries who the Anguo Group aims to persuade back for tech R&D.
Many people are somewhat tempted, but still harbor many concerns and hesitations, fearing the treatment, working conditions won't be as expected upon returning.
Some feel that while the treatment might catch up with the US, research conditions and living environments can't match the US, so no matter how enticing Anguo Investment makes it sound, they aren't keen on returning for development.
Although they are patriotic at heart and want to contribute to their motherland, they're even more concerned about their future, considering their children's education.
Many have been working and studying in the US for years, and are accustomed to the American lifestyle, worrying about various issues upon returning.
Chen Xuejiao suggests Yi Anguo personally make a trip to the US and convince those tech talents with sincerity to stir enthusiasm for returning and developing at home.
Yi Anguo thought it over for a long time and decided to convene a meeting with these people to openly discuss any concerns they might have.
He would then deliver a speech at the meeting, giving them a patriotic education talk.
After reaching the US, Chen Xuejiao curiously asked Yi Anguo: "What are you planning to say in your speech to move these people and make them willing to return for development? These people are highly educated, not easily swayed; it's not simple to persuade them back at all."
