"Maybe." Zhao Chen shook his head, but what he said next was even more shocking, "But fifteen thousand is no problem."
Zhao Chen is not particularly sure, after all, fifteen thousand is already very scary.
"One, fifteen thousand?" Chen Xi's voice was trembling.
500,000 Bitcoin, if it rises to 15,000 US Dollar, that is... a market value of 7.5 billion US Dollar. Even after deducting costs, the net profit will exceed 7 billion US Dollar.
"So we need to plan our exit strategy in advance."
Zhao Chen continued, his tone still calm,
"Our holdings are relatively large and we cannot clear our positions all at once like retail investors. We need to exit in a rhythmic manner to lock in profits without smashing the market."
Chen Xi took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice steady. "What is your plan?"
"When the price exceeds 15,000, we start reducing our holdings in batches."
Zhao Chen said it very naturally, as if he was saying a matter of course,
"For every increase of 500 US Dollar, reduce your holdings by 50,000. This way you can continue to cash out during the increase while retaining enough positions to benefit from subsequent increases."
He paused and looked at Chen Xi:
"Of course, the specific operation is up to you. The market sentiment will be crazy at that time, and calm judgment is required."
Chen Xi My throat feels a little dry.
She picked up the water glass and took a sip, but her fingers trembled slightly unconsciously.
It's not nervousness, it's excitement. There's also an... almost admiration emotion spreading in my heart.
In the past few months, she has watched Zhao Chen step by step from a student to where she is today.
Short Selling Henglong, Board of Directors seizing power, Bitcoin investing, Rights Issue gaming... Every decision is terrifyingly accurate, and every layout is interconnected.
At first, she just agreed to Su Wantang's request and became his assistant to make a transition.
But unconsciously, she began to look forward to coming to the office every day, looking forward to hearing Zhao Chen analyze the market, and looking forward to watching him strategize.
Sometimes in the dead of night, she would ask herself:
Why do you have such trust and... admiration for this man who is several years younger than you?
At this moment, when she watched Zhao Chen calmly say "fifteen thousand", she didn't feel that he was bragging at all.
Because she has witnessed too many impossible things become possible.
"Zhao Zong," Chen Xi put down the water glass, his voice was much softer than usual,
"Sometimes I'm really curious... where do you come from with these judgments?"
She asked very carefully, for fear of touching on some secrets that she shouldn't ask.
But curiosity still outweighed professional caution.
She also forgot that she was his counselor.
Zhao Chen glanced at her and did not answer first, but said, "Assistant Chen, do you know what is the most important thing about investing?"
"Vision? Courage? Funding?" Chen Xi answered tentatively.
"It's anti-humanity." Zhao Chen said,
"Be greedy when everyone is fearful, and be fearful when everyone is greedy. It sounds cliché, but there is only one person in a million who can truly do it."
He stood up and walked to the window. "At the beginning of this year, Bitcoin dropped from more than 1,000 US Dollar to more than 700. Everyone said the bubble burst.
But we Add Position instead - because the Blockchain technology is real, the concept of decentralization is real, and the global distrust of the traditional financial system is also real."
Chen Xi felt that his heartbeat was speeding up again.
It's not because of the impact of this news---but because of the aura with which Zhao Chen said this.
That kind of absolute confidence, that kind of calmness in controlling everything, attracted her unconsciously.
Females are instinctively attracted to males when they display strength - it's something engraved in their genes.
Although Chen Xi is highly educated and an independent professional woman, she still felt that primitive instinctive reaction when faced with the absolute ability and vision displayed by Zhao Chen.
"Then... what's next?"
She asked, her voice softer, "Besides Bitcoin, what else are you optimistic about?"
Zhao Chen walked back to the desk and sat down again:
"US Stocks. Especially technology stocks. There will be a decent correction this fall, which is an excellent entry opportunity."
He looked at Chen Xi:
"So part of our Bitcoin cash-out funds will be transferred to US Stocks. At that time, you will still need to trade."
"Understood!" This was what they had said in advance.
"The amount of funds is too large, I'm afraid I won't do well, what if..." She did not hide her worries.
"I believe you can do a good job."
Zhao Chen interrupted her with a firm tone,
"I have seen your performance in the past few months. You are calm, decisive, and strong in execution. You have contributed a lot to the smooth operation of Bitcoin."
This was said in a calm way, but when Chen Xi heard it, it made her happier than any compliment.
She felt her cheeks getting a little hot, and subconsciously lowered her head to organize the documents, trying to hide her emotional fluctuations.
But the slightly raised corners of her mouth still revealed her inner joy.
"I will work hard." She raised her head with firm eyes, "I won't let you down."
Zhao Chen nodded and looked at the time:
"That's it for today. It's the weekend, you should rest."
Chen Xi packed her things and stood up to leave. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and mustered up the courage to ask:
"Zhao Zong, you will go back to school to give a speech on Monday... do you need me to accompany you?"
After asking her, she felt a little regretful - this was obviously beyond the scope of the assistant's job.
