High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 70 I'm Buying Oil Too! Re-entering the Antique Street

Deputy Director Xu was the same leader who had only met Yun'an Electronics Factory once during an inspection visit.

"I didn't expect Bai to be involved in futures trading."

He was naturally extremely puzzled.

After all, Bai Yu is on the same team as Li Yunbin and Qin Wanqing! They certainly won't be short of money.

Moreover, investigators are usually very busy, and what they earn are contribution points, money, etc., which are also important, but at least tens of millions of dollars.

I didn't expect to come to the exchange.

Playing futures can easily lead to losses and even debt.

Bai Yu just smiled, unsure of what to say. He and Deputy Director Xu had only met once.

He then said, "Just playing around, you might just make a fortune."

Seeing that Xiao Chen had finished, he picked up the form and said, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now?"

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."

Bai Yu walked towards the gate.

Deputy Director Xu then looked at trader Xiao Chen and asked, "What futures did he buy?"

Logically, this is against the rules.

But Deputy Director Xu is his major client.

All I could say was, "I bought oil futures, a short-term contract for half a month."

"oil?"

Deputy Director Xu was somewhat puzzled. He had been trading futures for a long time, and the recent drop in oil prices made it very risky with a high probability of loss.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How much did you invest?"

One million.

Deputy Director Xu muttered to himself in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. How does he have so much money?"

During the last meal, Deputy Director Xu knew that Bai Yu was a newcomer who hadn't been with the company for very long.

"They probably brought money from the other members to buy it."

Hearing Xu's doubts, Xiao Chen couldn't help but say, "Half a month ago, he used 200,000 yuan to buy soybean futures and made five times his initial investment."

These words surprised even Deputy Director Xu.

Five times!

As for the news about soybeans, he trades futures, so he must know about it.

I never expected that Bai Yu would make a fortune from soybean futures.

He couldn't help but wonder if someone of Li Yunbin's stature had leaked some information beforehand.

But neither the Li family nor the Qin family deals in soybeans or other grains; they are mostly involved in the real economy.

But they're extraordinary individuals; they made five times their initial investment in the last short-term futures trade. They might possess special abilities that I'm unaware of.

With that in mind, he decisively said, "Give me the newly deposited million to try and buy short-term oil futures."

Trader Xiao Chen was filled with doubt upon hearing this.

Could it be that Mr. Xu thinks that student has better taste than him?

He naturally did exactly as instructed.

After briefly processing the information, Deputy Director Xu noticed Xiao Chen's eager expression and smiled, "I can't say for sure about futures. As for that student's financial abilities, I'm not sure either. If you want to buy, it's best not to go all in."

After his thoughts were seen through, Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed: "I understand. After so many years in this industry, I know it's a deep and murky business."

After Deputy Director Xu left, Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, took out one-third of his savings of 300,000 yuan and bought some as well.

People in this line of work have some patience, but not many.

If you catch the right trend, you might soar, or you might explode.

On the other side, they had just walked out of the stock exchange.

Bai Ling's voice then rang out: "What's this for?"

"Making money is equivalent to making silver."

"Silver? Where can I find silver?"

"Here, this is in my hand."

Bai Yu was naturally referring to the futures trading order, and Bai Ling seemed to understand but not quite.

Bai Yu took out his phone, checked the time, and it was only a little past 9:40.

I've thought about it.

"They're definitely off to Yunhu Antique Street now, dealing with the Ink Abyss Divine Brush."

However, he didn't know how to get the pen, find the guy, and not let the guy know he had been discovered.

"Think about it on the way."

I hailed a taxi and got in.

"Beep beep~"

The phone rang.

Bai Yu glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Wang Haobin in the dormitory group chat.

Wang Haobin: "What do you guys do every day? Especially Brother Yu, aren't you still in Tianhai City? Why don't you go back to the dorm?"

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu immediately replied: "Damn it, you have the nerve to say that! The day you came back, Zhang Youpeng specifically went back to the dorm, but you just put down your luggage and went out to book a hotel room."

"Now you know to tell us to go back to the dorm? Have you broken up with us?"

Zhang Youpeng immediately replied: "Exactly! Exactly!"

Wang Haobin looked a little embarrassed upon seeing this: "I didn't get any points."

"I just miss my brothers, want to check in on them, and maybe catch up."

Bai Yu: "Heh~ You've been back at school for a week, and you're only now realizing you miss your brothers? What nonsense!"

Wang Haobin repeatedly sent emojis, begging for forgiveness.

Seeing this, Bai Yu was in a good mood. After thinking about it, he decided that since he had a rare day off, he could get together and see how Zhang Youpeng was doing in his training, and also see if Wang Haobin was suitable to join in.

After having this idea, Bai Yu suddenly thought of the information with the keyword "Wang Mengmeng".

"Following the usual pattern, staying at the Investigation Bureau shouldn't allow for contact. Could it be related to your roommate?"

Let's get together!

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu sent a message in the group chat.

"I'll reluctantly forgive you. By the way, I just made some money today, so I'll treat everyone to lunch. Let's all get together for a meal."

"@Zhang Youpeng, I'll come find you before 11 o'clock, and then I'll pick you up @Wang Haobin."

Zhang Youpeng was very excited when he saw this: "Great!"

He knew Bai Yu's current status, and originally thought that after Bai Yu joined the Investigation Bureau, their relationship would become closer.

Now that we have the opportunity, we should definitely familiarize ourselves with it as much as possible!

Wang Haobin: "How much did you earn?"

"A few thousand, just a small amount."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu opened his private chat with Zhang Youpeng: "You've made a million, haven't you?"

Zhang Youpeng knew that he had bought soybeans.

It's quite comfortable to brag here.

"Holy crap! Awesome! Brother Yu is awesome!"

"Udyr~"

"I'm so envious!"

"Simp.jpg"

Seeing Zhang Youpeng's reaction, Bai Yu was quite satisfied.

Facing different races every day and having to think about various cases, it's nice to relax occasionally.

Yunhu Antique Street.

Looking at the spotless streets, Bai Yu couldn't help but sigh: This must be my third time here!

Come to think of it, every time he comes here, it seems like something important is going on.

I bought treasures twice, and met a big shot once.

After Bai Yu went inside, he began to buy items.

Because of his previous big spending spree, some stall owners remembered him and quickly started promoting their wares.

Bai Yu withdrew nearly 300,000 Federal Coins from the exchange, and naturally spent them lavishly.

After making the purchase, I went back to the old man and managed to get some more information from him.

In fact, he felt that the pen might be in the old man's hands!

After all, the last time, it was this old man who talked about the Dragon and Tiger List of the second year of Jiayou, which was related to the pen.

Then this kind of information came out.

It's hard not to be suspicious!

Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the old man's stall and looked closely, he found that there was no pen that matched the picture at all.

However, the pictures provided by the cheat code might only show what it looks like after activation, so just to be on the safe side, he decided to buy them all.

"I'll take all of these calligraphy brushes."

The old man was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself: "A 95% profit margin, how much money must that make?"

Are you sure you bought them all?

"Yes! How much was it again?"

"How about a 30% discount? Six hundred will do."

"No, no, no discount, absolutely no discount."

With that, Bai Yu paid two thousand.

The old man didn't understand why Bai Yu liked buying antiques so much.

The key point is that I don't want any discounts.

Bai Yu, however, was thinking: You don't understand! I'm doing this to accumulate good karma. Getting a bargain from you once is one thing, but now I've gotten a bargain twice! If I only paid this little bit, I feel like my good deeds are diminished; I'd be bullying an old person, I'd go to hell!

Carrying a large bag of pens, Bai Yu continued browsing other stalls.

Although I felt there was a high probability that the elderly person was with them, I still wanted to be on the safe side and check on them more closely.

"So many contracts, what were they again?"

"That's right! A drop of blood!"

"Go back and give them a good beating."

After walking for a while, they ran into the same man again. He spoke with a northern accent and greeted Bai Yu warmly, "Young man, you're here again? Haha, why don't you come and take a look at my stall? I've got a new batch of goods, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"

Bai Yu also liked this kind of person's personality, so he decided to go and take a look.

But as soon as he crouched down, he saw the Ink Abyss Divine Brush: [A faintly glowing gem was embedded at the tip of the brush!]

The pen on the stall was indeed a bright, translucent golden gem, though it lacked any luster.

To be honest, no one would believe that the gemstones on this calligraphy brush are real.

'???'

"The real product is here?! Can I ask the elderly person for a refund?"

"Fraud! That's fraud! It's illegal!"

"Meow meow meow~"

"However, perhaps I obtained information about the talisman brush because of my previous contact with this man?"

Thinking about it this way, Bai Yu felt that the big spending spree was indeed effective.

After carefully confirming that the pen was indeed the Mo Yuan Divine Pen, Bai Yu glanced at the time: [10:11].

There was a 21-minute difference between the time indicated by the intelligence and the actual time.

He hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to buy it or not, and could only chat with the stall owner to buy some time.

The stall owner was also very friendly and chatty.

After chatting for a while, Bai Ling in the Soul Sea spoke up: "There is an evil aura that is hostile to Brother Bai Yu."

Bai Yu's heart tightened, but he remained outwardly calm and asked, "Where?"

"About thirty meters back, at a stall, there was a guy wearing a thin black coat."

It's late July, and black absorbs all light and heat, so there are very few people wearing black.

"How strong are they?"

"Ling'er is perfectly capable of handling the early stage of the Spirit Origin Realm."

Seeing that the strength wasn't particularly strong, Bai Yu felt even more relieved, as he still had the Purple Spirit Jade Pendant on him!

Boss Zheng Guoyi is also in this area.

He thought quickly.

"This is most likely the so-called Shadow Blade!"

"Now that Bai Ling has identified the target, I might as well just buy the pen myself to avoid any unforeseen complications."

"Then find an opportunity to take a photo of this person and hand it over to the analysis team for full-time monitoring."

Without hesitation, Bai Yu picked up the pen, pointed it at the northern man, and asked, "How much is this pen?"

"I won't cheat you on this. I bought it for two hundred, so I'll sell it to you for three hundred."

At this price, it's clear they don't believe the gold gemstone is genuine.

Seeing this, Bai Yu picked out two smaller items, paid 5,600 yuan, and completed the transaction. Then, he pretended to get up casually and looked around.

The man in black was identified.

His skin was rather dark, unlike the skin color of ordinary blood slaves.

Is this a vampire modifier?

During this process, Bai Yu seemingly twirled his phone casually, as if spinning a pen, but he actually took a photo in the process.

After confirming that the person's photo was in the photo library, I slowly walked away, keeping a close watch on the person at all times.

The guy seemed to be only wary of Bai Yu, and since he didn't realize that Bai Yu had bought an item from an ancient god, he didn't chase after him.

Bai Yu also successfully got into a taxi to go to the gym.

He was thinking to himself, "I've only been with the Investigation Bureau for a short time, and this guy recognized me at a glance? Could we be connected?"

"Let the analysis team take a closer look."
