After recording the $330 million US dollar US stock spot holdings, Li Zhiwei swallowed hard.

The main account had a total of US$570 million. After US$330 million was withdrawn, a massive liquidity of US$240 million remained on the books.

On the other end of the phone, Ye Chen's voice came again, carrying the unique crispness of autumn morning by the lake:

"The second part, macro commodities and stock index futures, is leveraged at twice the total assets of the account, with a planned nominal position value of US$370 million, all in the long position."

Li Zhiwei and his two companions perked up, their pens hovering over the paper.

"The nominal positions are broken down as follows: the main gold futures contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with a value of US$120 million; the main silver futures contract, with a value of US$100 million; the main light sweet crude oil contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange, with a value of US$110 million; and the S&P E-mini stock index futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, with a value of US$40 million."

Gold, silver, crude oil, and the S&P 500 index – all four major macroeconomic instruments are bullish!

"Based on the exchange's average margin ratio of around 10%, the actual initial margin used is approximately 40 million US dollars. The remaining 200 million US dollars in cash on the books are all used as floating risk margin and strategic buffer, remaining untouched in the main account."

Three hundred million US dollars locked up a US tech giant, forty million US dollars in margin leveraged three hundred million US dollars in futures long positions, plus a two hundred million US dollar safety cushion. In the blink of an eye, Ye Chen casually dismantled a massive amount of capital, equivalent to nearly four billion RMB.

Li Zhiwei took a deep breath, wiped the slight sweat from his palms, and confirmed into the microphone:

"Mr. Ye, with a nominal exposure of 370 million and a safety cushion of 200 million US dollars... after overall calculation, our actual leverage ratio is kept below 20%?"

Inside the stone pavilion, Ye Chen sensed the reverence and relief in the other person's tone, and smiled calmly:

"Yes, double leverage overall. This time, we're not playing the high game. With a $370 million position and a $200 million liquidity safety cushion, even if there's an extreme black swan event like a 30% or more crash in overseas markets, our position won't even touch the warning line."

On the other end of the phone, Ken and Cheng simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted from their shoulders, and their bodies relaxed completely.

With double the overall leverage and a $200 million safety cushion, the pressure was unprecedented for the three who were used to life-or-death situations.

"Mr. Ye is brilliant! Double leverage is good, double leverage is safe!" Li Zhiwei's voice instantly brightened. "With this amount of capital, we can move in and out freely. No matter how Wall Street shakes things out, we can sit back and watch the show!"

The Federal Reserve's quantitative easing printing press is already in operation, and global inflation is an irreversible, open conspiracy. With over five hundred million US dollars in hand, Ye Chen doesn't need to gamble on extreme returns; he can simply follow the trend and leverage twice to steadily reap the rewards.

"Don't be too happy yet. The leverage has been reduced, but the total value of the holdings has increased several times. The requirements for the concealment of building positions in batches are even higher." Ye Chen switched hands to hold the phone, and his tone became serious again.

"Remember two rules. First, don't try to guess why I'm buying these assets, and don't listen to investment bank analyses. Your task is just four words: execute the plan. Take advantage of the low liquidity during the Asian midday consolidation to buy gold and silver in batches using algorithmic splitting. Enter the market during the US session's pullback phase for crude oil and the S&P 500. Smoothly build up the notional position of 370 million within a week."

"Secondly, starting today, the Hong Kong Island Transaction Department will be formally standardized and a compliance firewall will be established in accordance with the standards of offshore single-family offices. Li Zhiwei, I appoint you as the head, and your base salary will be increased by fifty percent."

Li Zhiwei suddenly stood up and excitedly said into the microphone, "Thank you, Yesheng, for your guidance!"

"Don't thank me yet," Ye Chen said calmly. "Considering US stocks and the four major futures contracts, the three of you working in shifts can't keep up. I've approved special funds. This week, recruit six more junior traders with clean backgrounds and experience in international trading in Hong Kong. Expand the trading room to three shifts, implementing physical isolation and tiered access control—newcomers can only see the orders for a single contract. Absolutely no one is allowed to see the entire fund and position of the main account. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Zhiwei tensed slightly, then immediately responded loudly, "Don't worry, Mr. Ye! I'll work with the law firm to ensure the company's confidentiality agreement is airtight. New employees will never know the full picture of the company. Anyone who leaks a secret will lose their job! Within a week, the futures positions will be securely established with double leverage!"

"Okay, get moving according to plan. Send the settlement statements to my email after the market closes each day."

"Okay, Mr. Ye, please take care and get some rest!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone, and the stone pavilion returned to its tranquility.

He took his phone away from his ear and glanced at it. It was exactly 8:20 a.m., and a standby message from the domestic team popped up at the top of the screen.

The metasequoia trees stand tall by Zhiyuan Lake, a gentle breeze is blowing, and there are still two hours until the official online launch of the "Starry Sky App Market" at 10:00 AM.
