Returning to his senior year of high school, he went all in and made billions by buying at the botto

After two days of intensive meetings, the basic framework of Chuangsheng Investment has finally taken shape.

After dinner, Lu Jingyi did not rush to leave, but went into the presidential suite with Chen Mo.

She stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the lights of Victoria Harbour gradually illuminating in the distance. After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke:

"Mr. Chen, I have something personal I'd like to discuss with you."

Chen Mo looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with suspicion: "Tell me, was the food at the restaurant bad?"

Lu Jingyi turned around, remained silent for a moment, and then said formally, "I want to get involved in the Swiss Franc matter."

A hint of a smile flashed across Chen Mo's eyes; he had finally heard those words.

Without shared interests, all the goodwill is just a bubble floating on the water.

Only when you've made money together, or even shared risks together, can a relationship truly take root.

"Is it inconvenient for you to do it yourself?" Chen Mo asked.

"I work at Merrill Lynch, and directly participating in clients' same-direction trading would raise compliance issues," Lu Jingyi frankly stated. "Moreover, given my family's special circumstances, it's not appropriate for me to personally engage in such sensitive forex positions at this time."

"So you want to entrust this to me."

"right."

Chen Mo didn't agree immediately, but looked at her and asked, "How much?"

Lu Jingyi did not answer, but instead took out a thick agreement from her folder and placed it on the table.

"It's too troublesome and time-consuming for domestic funds to go overseas. I don't plan to use cash."

Chen Mo opened the file.

The first page contains a draft asset transfer agreement with extremely detailed terms.

The second document is a summary of an asset appraisal report issued by a top domestic accounting firm.

The company name is quite ordinary: Xiling Mining & Trading Co., Ltd.

The description of the main business is also quite bland.

Mineral product trading, rare earth processing consulting, and equity investment in resource-based enterprises.

But when Chen Mo flipped to the remarks section of the report, his gaze paused slightly.

The company holds a rare earth export quota of 1000 tons for 2015.

Lu Jingyi observed his expression and said softly, "This company's books aren't very impressive, but this quota is very valuable. From 2014 to 2015, the rare earth export quota was still in effect, and both the foreign trade and mining sectors recognized its value. At the current market price, an assessment of several hundred million RMB wouldn't be unreasonable."

Chen Mo didn't speak; he just stared at the line of notes, his expression turning somewhat strange.

In the current market context, rare earth export quotas are indeed a highly sought-after commodity.

It is scarce, sensitive, can be monetized, and can be used to negotiate terms with some resource-based companies.

But Chen Mo knew something that no one else knew.

12月31日，商W部会正式公告，自2015年1月1日起取消稀土出口配额管理。

In other words, this quota, which now seems to be worth hundreds of millions, will lose its core value in about ten days.

Chen Mo slowly closed the file, looked at Lu Jingyi, and gave her a half-smile.

"Ms. Lu, are you planning to exchange an almost expired ticket for a seat on my ship?"

Lu Jingyi was taken aback.

"Is it about to expire?"

Chen Mo tapped the report's remarks column lightly with his finger.

"Rare earth export quotas seem attractive, but the policy direction has changed. WTO rules, industry rectification, and export control adjustments are all converging. Do you really think these quotas can sustain the valuation in the long run?"

Lu Jingyi's beautiful eyes widened slightly, revealing genuine surprise to Chen Mo for the first time.

What surprised everyone was that Chen Mo could see through even such extremely marginal and policy-driven resource details at a glance.

"You think I'm trying to scam you with the quota?" She quickly realized what he meant, her eyes showing a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Isn't that right?"

"Of course not."

Lu Jingyi took the document back, turned to the next page, and pushed it in front of Chen Mo.

"Look here."

Chen Mo lowered his head.

The latter half of the document was a mining rights explanation.

Xiling Mining & Trading Co., Ltd. indirectly holds the complete mining rights to a rare earth mine in northern west Province through historical restructuring and equity swap.

The area is not large, and the reserves are not particularly large, but the ownership is clear and the procedures are complete.

Given the current policy context, it is extremely rare for private entities to legally hold such resource-based mining rights.

Lu Jingyi said softly, "The quota is just the easiest part to value on the surface. What's really valuable is this mine."

Chen Mo's eyes narrowed slightly; this was indeed different.

Rare earth export quotas expire, but mining rights do not.

Especially given the tightening of domestic resource-based industries and the increasing scarcity of private mining rights, such assets may not be immediately worth hundreds of millions of dollars in cash, but their significance is profound.

For Star Technology, this is even more important.

The gold mine in the eastern suburbs contains gold.

Deertech is a company specializing in fluorochemicals and new energy materials.

If a compliant rare earth mining right is added, even if it is not large in scale, it will give Xingchen Technology's resource map a special background.

In the future, whether it's discussing local governments, industrial funds, or even state-owned enterprise cooperation, this kind of thing can be a good asset.

Lu Jingyi looked at him and said seriously, "This company is a resource-based shell asset that I acquired a long time ago. I didn't originally plan to deal with it so quickly. But now, with the Swiss franc issue, I really want to get involved."

"There's no time to get cash overseas, and there's no need to go through too many detours."

"So I'm transferring this company to you, and you give me some overseas funds, which you can use to exchange for Swiss francs on my behalf."

Chen Mo remained silent for a long time.

He went through the documents again.

The quotas are indeed almost obsolete, but the mining rights are real, the company's debts are not complicated, and the ownership is relatively clean.

The only trouble is that integrating this company into Xingchen Technology will likely require going through a lot of filing procedures.

However, it was worth it, after all, Chen Mo knew better than anyone else the future value of rare earth mines.

"What about the price?" Chen Mo asked.

Lu Jingyi looked at him and said, "You drive."

Chen Mo looked up: "Are you sure?"

"I believe Mr. Chen won't let me suffer too much of a loss."

"Sixty million US dollars."

Lu Jingyi's eyes flickered slightly.

At the current exchange rate, 60 million US dollars is close to 370 million RMB.

This price clearly exceeds the true cash value of Xiling Mining.

Even including that small rare earth mining right, it can be considered very generous.

But Lu Jingyi did not refuse.

Because she knew that for Chen Mo, the company was not worth its current paper assets.

"Deal," Lu Jingyi said decisively.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "So readily?"

"Because you gave with sufficient sincerity."

"Sixty million US dollars, all given to me in Swiss francs?"

"Of course." Lu Jingyi looked at him matter-of-factly. "Since I've chosen to board the ship, I won't just buy half a ticket."

Chen Mo looked at her, his eyes filled with admiration.

This woman is sharp and decisive.

She is not the kind of person who only relies on her family background.

She dares to make judgments and dares to place bets.

"Okay." Chen Mo nodded. "I'll keep a separate account for this money. After this round of Swiss franc transactions, the profits will be settled according to the agreed ratio."

"What about the proportions?"

"You provide the assets, I'll provide the transactions and the access," Chen Mo thought for a moment. "The principal is yours, and I'll take 30% of the profits."

Lu Jingyi raised an eyebrow slightly: "Only 30%?"

"Not enough?"

"I thought you would take 50%."

"Price for acquaintances"

Lu Jingyi looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Does Mr. Chen consider me an acquaintance now?"

"At least they're not strangers."

These words, spoken softly, brought the two of them a little closer together.

Lu Jingyi put away the documents and extended her hand: "Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Chen Mo took her hand.

"It's a pleasure working with you."

Her fingers were cold, but her palms were steady.

Just as they were about to part ways, Lu Jingyi suddenly said, "Don't keep calling me Miss Lu anymore, it sounds too formal."

Chen Mo looked at her: "What's it called?"

Lu Jingyi raised the corners of her eyes slightly: "Didn't you just call me that so smoothly?"

Chen Mo was taken aback.

Sister Lu?

He found it somewhat amusing: "You really like this nickname?"

"It's alright." Lu Jingyi feigned composure. "It sounds more pleasant than Miss Lu's."

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile: "Okay, Sister Jingyi."

Upon hearing these three words, Lu Jingyi finally couldn't help but smile.

"Then I won't call you General Manager Chen anymore."

Chen Mo casually replied, "Just call me by my name."

"No," Lu Jingyi shook her head, "Too ordinary."

"So what do you want to be called?"

Lu Jingyi looked at him, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"Xiao Mo".

Chen Mo paused for a moment.

He hadn't heard this title from outsiders for many years.

Usually only his parents and uncle would call him that.

There just felt something was off about hearing it from Lu Jingyi.

"Can I get another one?"

"No change." Lu Jingyi's smile deepened. "You've already called me 'sister,' so it's perfectly reasonable for me to call you 'Xiao Mo.'"

Chen Mo glanced at her helplessly.

"what ever."

Lu Jingyi felt as if she had won a small victory, and her whole demeanor lightened.

"Then it's settled, Xiao Mo."

Chen Mo rubbed his temples.

"Jingyi, the meeting documents haven't been signed yet."

"I understand." Lu Jingyi put away the agreement, regaining some of her professional demeanor, but still smiling. "I'll have the lawyer prepare the closing documents for Xiling Mining. The $60 million will be officially deposited into the account once the Genesis account is opened."

Chen Mo nodded to indicate that he had no objection, and then said, "Sister Jingyi, trust me, I will give you a huge surprise."

Lu Jingyi's eyes brightened slightly.

"Then I'll wait."

After the door closed, the suite became quiet again, and Chen Mo could still smell a faint fragrance left by Lu Jingyi.

He stood there, his expression unusually subtle.

Lu Jingyi was a woman unlike anyone he had ever met before.

Lin Wan is gentle, meticulous, and has extremely strong execution skills.

Su Qingyan was clean, proud, and possessed a unique brightness characteristic of young girls.

The two Chu sisters were lively and adorable, bringing him a lot of joy.

But Lu Jingyi is different.

She is bright, sharp, and intelligent, with the confidence and pride that only a woman of exceptional talent possesses.

She is not a dependent person, nor is she simply a woman who is intimidated by his wealth and achievements.

She knows how to test, judge, and place bets.

More importantly, she could follow his train of thought.

Whether it's Swiss francs, Hong Kong stock shell companies, or domestic industries, Lu Jingyi can grasp the key points in a very short time and then react quickly.

This feeling is rare.

In his past life, Chen Mo had seen many beautiful women and many intelligent women.

But he rarely encounters a woman as special as Lu Jingyi.

She was close, but not clingy.

Probe, but do not offend.

Proud, yet knowing how to adjust one's posture in front of true powerhouses.

This amused Chen Mo.

He glanced down at the Xiling Mining data on the table, his eyes gradually regaining their focus.

Of course, as interesting as she may be, Lu Jingyi is not a pretty face or a pawn to be manipulated at will. The Lu family behind her, her own abilities, and her keen sense of opportunity all mean that this woman cannot be underestimated, nor can she be easily conquered.
