Chapter 451 Aston Martin DB9

Rosen raised an eyebrow at him: "You know about the stock market?"

Pan Sheng honestly shook his head and frankly admitted, "I don't know much, I only know the basic logic, but Anna used to work as a securities manager in China for a period of time..."

Rosen pursed his lips upon hearing this. He was a little skeptical. Could a securities manager's English be that bad? And there were no educational requirements?

In fact, some securities managers in China only provide emotional value to their clients, and often relax the educational requirements or ignore the fact that some people have falsified their academic credentials.

He turned to Liang Anna beside him and asked in Chinese, "You know about stock trading?"

The sudden question startled Liang Anna, who froze, clearly taken aback. After a couple of seconds of hesitation, she hurriedly nodded, her voice slightly trembling: "Ah...yes, I had two years of experience in the industry, but I resigned to become a model due to some personal matters..."

In the domestic stock market, academic qualifications and experience are not really worth mentioning. No matter how outstanding one's academic qualifications and experience are, they cannot outweigh the behind-the-scenes maneuvering of major shareholders and institutions. They are the ones who are ruthlessly reaping profits from retail investors.

Rosen narrowed his eyes, his gaze fixed on Liang Anna's face, and calmly pressed, "Was it your idea to short Reyes Corporation?"

Liang Anna's face paled instantly, and she lowered her head instinctively, her fingertips slightly clenching the hem of her clothes as she silently admitted it.

She knew in her heart that this idea was too outrageous and too risky.

However, with inside information about robbing Reyes right in front of her, and indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, she really couldn't bear to miss it.

If she hadn't been in a foreign country, lacking both capital and startup funds, she wouldn't have voiced this idea at all; she would have already taken the plunge and tried her luck herself.

Ultimately, she harbors a gambler's mentality and lacks a sense of awe for the cruelty and risks of the capital market.

Coincidentally, Rosen himself was also like a gambler, and a stubborn one at that.

Once they successfully rob Reyes of his offline cash flow and cut off his illicit funding chain, his real estate company, which relies on cash flow for its survival, will inevitably face a funding gap, and its stock price will definitely plummet.

After all, borrowing money from a bank takes time, and if Reyes falls on hard times, there will be even more people kicking him while he's down; offering help in times of need is a rare thing.

They can take advantage of the situation to short sell, making a quick profit in the stock market.

Rosen snapped out of his thoughts, turned to look at Pan Sheng beside him, and asked calmly, "Are you confident that you and she can make this harvest a success?"

Pan Sheng's eyes were firm. "I can try. We will do our best."

Rosen looked at the honest and unassuming science student in front of him and chuckled. "I understand wanting to give it a try, but let's be honest, do you two have the money to get involved?"

One question left the two speechless, and they immediately shut their mouths.

The factory area fell silent instantly, with the faint echoes of vehicle engines in the distance making the silence all the more pronounced.

Rosen pondered for a moment in silence, then slowly said, "Here's the arrangement: I'll give you ten million US dollars in start-up capital. I have only one requirement: losses absolutely cannot exceed thirty percent. Once losses exceed that amount, the remaining losses will be made up by the two of you yourselves."

Mr. Pan is quite meticulous in his work and has excellent abilities, making him a worthwhile investment opportunity.

Moreover, Rosen could tell that Pan Sheng liked Liang Anna, and that Liang Anna must have started this whole thing.

Rosen also needed to see if Liang Anna was really worth anything. If she messed things up, she would only be Pan Sheng's sex toy.

A securities manager without a degree is really worthless.

Most importantly, Lawson has plenty of cash flow, so spending ten million to test the waters is perfectly harmless.

Ultimately, being a boss is about investing in people. As for Pan Sheng, Lawson needs to assess whether he is worth his future investment.

Late at night, Rosen experienced Giselle's madness, and he himself released all the pressure that had accumulated over the past few days.

The night finally faded completely, and the pale light of dawn spread across the desolate horizon of the city's outskirts, with a light morning mist carrying a cool breeze.

Rosen got into the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and sped out of the abandoned car factory.

He drove around the remote suburban road twice before finally stopping at a deserted, abandoned parking lot.

Outside the parking lot, overgrown trees and, apart from some faint traces of pedestrians, it was clear that no one had been around for some time.

Rosen parked the car and casually released the two-door Mondeo that had been modified long ago but had hardly ever been driven.

Or rather—an Aston Martin DB9, which he borrowed from the casino hotel. Whether Owen Shaw knew who borrowed it or not is irrelevant.

The original V12 engine and the entire vehicle system are still in good condition. Lawson did not make many changes to them, but only optimized the engine materials to increase its strength and make it able to withstand higher pressure.

However, Lawson made major changes to all aspects of the car body, such as its appearance, suspension, and materials, which could improve performance.

He replaced the entire car's paint with a high-quality matte black.

The front splitter has been specially enlarged and deepened, and small carbon fiber air blades have been added to both sides to cut through the airflow in front, correct turbulence at the front of the car, and prevent the front of the car from feeling unstable at high speeds.

The chassis is further fitted with a full-coverage sealing plate, which seals off all the holes at the bottom, solving the common problem of turbulent airflow under the vehicle body. Even if Lawson drives it to the top speed, there will be no inexplicable fishtailing or loss of control.

The roof is fitted with a carbon fiber shark fin air deflector, and the sides of the vehicle are equipped with exclusive side skirt deflectors, which are specially designed to correct the messy vortices on the sides of the vehicle, further reduce wind resistance, and stabilize the vehicle's posture.

The rear diffuser has been meticulously optimized and paired with a redesigned swan neck rear wing endplate, making it more suitable for high-speed racing scenarios.

The most practical feature is the variable rear wing. When sprinting in a straight line, the rear wing automatically flattens out, which will reduce wind resistance to the greatest extent and maximize the vehicle's speed.

Once entering a curve, the rear wing will lift up instantly, increasing downforce, providing sufficient grip to the rear wheels, and reducing the pressure on the braking system.

He also made targeted fine-tuning to the suspension system, replacing all load-bearing components of the chassis with magnesium alloy, which is stronger and lighter, thus balancing hardness and weight reduction.

He also adjusted the front-rear weight distribution of the vehicle to make it adaptable to more road conditions and to make the vehicle more stable at top speeds.
