Chapter 278: Chapter 265: Gravity? Sorry, Xia Country Isn’t Governed by Newton

It was a little after nine in the morning when Ye Ling woke up. Ning Ruoxi was still asleep beside him, mostly because their flight hadn’t arrived in Yazhou until the early hours of the morning, so they had gone to bed very late.

Ye Ling gently slid his arm out from under Ning Ruoxi’s neck and picked up the phone on the nightstand to check it.

While he was asleep, Chen Lin had already sent him the settlement details from the US Stock market. After deducting various miscellaneous fees, the total profit was around 4.15 billion!

For this profit distribution, Ye Ling still divided it proportionally.

Take Ye Ling’s profit, for example. The total principal was five billion, and he had invested 2.3 billion, accounting for 46 percent. That meant his profit was around 1.8 billion!

Meanwhile, Ning Ruoxi had invested one billion, accounting for twenty percent, so her profit was a little over eight hundred million.

"Mmm... what are you looking at?"

Ning Ruoxi had just woken up as well and asked curiously.

"The money from the stock market came in. I’ll transfer the principal and profit to you later," Ye Ling said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Ning Ruoxi paused, stunned, then stuck out her tongue playfully. "You don’t have to. I don’t want the profit."

"Silly girl."

Ye Ling gently poked Ning Ruoxi’s forehead. "Do you have any idea how much your share of the profit is this time? Over eight hundred million!"

"Eight... eight hundred million?"

Ning Ruoxi was completely floored. She stared blankly at Ye Ling.

’Honestly, my first thought upon hearing him say that was, am I even awake yet?!’

Eight hundred million...

In just three days?

’Did Ye Ling just rob a bank?!’

’No, that’s not right. Even robbing a bank wouldn’t get you that much, would it?’

’Everyone knows that robbing a bank is just a stupid thing to do...’

’Most banks don’t keep that much cash on hand. Otherwise, why would you need to make an appointment for large withdrawals or deposits?’

’To make things difficult for you on purpose?’

’Of course not!’

’It’s because they really don’t have the money, especially the branch offices. They’d be lucky to have a few hundred thousand in cash...’

"Are you messing with me?"

Ning Ruoxi couldn’t help but ask again.

"Why would I mess with you? Here, the money’s already been transferred," Ye Ling said with a smile, wiggling his phone at her.

PING!

Ning Ruoxi’s phone, which was on the nightstand, chimed. She immediately picked it up and glanced at it.

A total of 1.85 billion!

That was an extra fifty million more than what Ye Ling had said!

"I... this is..."

Ning Ruoxi was at a loss for words.

Although she knew Ye Ling would probably make a lot of money this time, she never expected him to make *this* much.

Even as the little princess of Ning International, she had never seen anyone achieve such high profits in such a short amount of time!

He had nearly doubled their money!

"This was a lucky break. We might not get another opportunity this good again," Ye Ling said casually, waving his hand dismissively.

It was true!

This time, it might have seemed like Ye Ling had made money easily, but that was only because he had the double guarantee provided by the system. Otherwise...

’Make money?’

’You’d be lucky not to lose your principal, to be honest.’

The Fruit Group’s stock price had been a roller coaster this time. It initially soared due to the release of a new model, then plummeted because of a scandal, soared again when three major players entered the market, and finally plummeted once more...

Every fluctuation in the stock price was like a giant wave, wiping out countless people on the shore.

Someone like Ye Ling, who profited immensely from start to finish, was truly an exception.

Yes, you might get lucky, but could you guarantee you’d survive all four of those giant waves on luck alone?

The stock market is a zero-sum game!

For Ye Ling to have earned so much, it meant someone else had to have lost that much. It was a law of conservation.

As for who lost...

The first to come to mind was the Dugan Consortium!

After all, the Dugan Consortium had absorbed all of Celestial Dragon Investment Company’s short-selling orders, making them the biggest contributor to Ye Ling’s profits.

Thinking of this, the pressure on Ye Ling’s mind lessened considerably.

’The Dugan Consortium tried to plot against me last time, so screwing them over a bit now isn’t going too far, right?’

Ye Ling wasn’t afraid of the Dugan Consortium coming after him, either. Celestial Dragon Investment Company operated mainly in the stock markets of Xia Country and East Asia, while the Dugan Consortium was in the US Stock market. They operated in completely different spheres!

Even if Ye Ling might go to the US Stock market to fleece some more sheep in the future, who knew when that would be.

"Ye Ling, you’re amazing!"

Ning Ruoxi hugged Ye Ling excitedly.

While she wasn’t particularly interested in money itself, she was still thrilled that Ye Ling could earn it. It proved how capable he was!

"In what way?"

Ye Ling’s lips curved into a smirk as he teased her.

"Hmph!"

Ning Ruoxi naturally understood the hidden meaning in his words and shot him a playful glare.

’This guy... how dare he say that!’

"What do you want for breakfast? I can order it on my phone. After we eat, we can go see the ocean," Ye Ling said, casually opening an app.

The ocean-view room he had booked cost 15,000 a day, nearly 100,000 for the week. Accordingly, the services provided were also highly personalized, such as 24-hour private car service and a wide variety of cuisines, which was extremely convenient.

"Umm..."

Ning Ruoxi rested her chin in her hands, thinking for a moment, then said, "I’m kind of craving barbecue!"

"Barbecue it is, then."

Ye Ling said casually.

This was another moment to marvel at the power of money. The food provided wasn’t just your typical star-rated hotel buffet; they offered dishes from all over the country. As long as you could think of it, they would do their best to satisfy your request!

A simple barbecue meal was really not a big deal at all.
