January 16, Monday.
Zhao Chen finished processing the last batch of documents in the morning and rubbed his eyebrows.
Study The outer door was ajar, and you could hear Su Wantang's gentle footsteps and the rustle of papers being sorted.
She has become a quiet and constant background sound in his life - spending most of his time in the office with him, but never disturbing him too much.
She would hand him warm tea when he needed it, whisper reminders of his next schedule between meetings, and quietly organize scattered documents when he was focused.
At this moment, she was checking the schedule for this week outside, occasionally taking a look at the situation inside Study through the half-open door to confirm if he needed anything.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xi and Zhang Qingxue arrived on time.
Su Wantang led the two of them to Study, then walked to the tea set naturally and started preparing tea.
She had no intention of participating in the discussion. She just sat quietly on the side against the wall with a notebook on her lap--
That's what she uses to jot down any life or itinerary details she might need during a Zhao Chen meeting.
Chen Xi is sitting in the armchair opposite Zhao Chen, with the tablet screen on his lap lit up.
Zhang Qingxue is sitting on the other side, with a thick Legal Document at hand.
"Zhao Zong, this is the latest status of Bitcoin's position." Chen Xi's voice was clear and steady.
The debriefing begins.
She turned the tablet to Zhao Chen. On the screen was a concise but informative Crypto Asset report.
"According to your instruction at the end of December, we will start executing Swing Trading after the price breaks through 1000 US Dollar."
She tapped the screen with her fingertips to bring up the transaction details:
"From January 3 to January 4, when the price fluctuated between 1070 and 1120 US Dollar, we sold 120,000 Bitcoin in three batches at an average price of about 1085 US Dollar."
Zhao Chen nodded slightly, his eyes falling on that point in time.
He remembered clearly that on January 5, after Bitcoin hit a historical high close to 1200 US Dollar, it experienced an unexpected plunge, with a single-day drop of more than 30%, breaking through the 900 US Dollar mark for the first time.
Chen Xi continued to report, his tone was still calm, but the content of the narrative was thrilling:
"On January 5, the price began to fall rapidly. Starting from noon that day, after the price fell below 860 US Dollar, we placed orders in batches."
She called up another set of data:
"As of January 10, we bought back the 120,000 pieces we sold before at an average price of about 847 US Dollar.
Only one sale and one purchase, after deducting handling fees, the profit difference is about 29.76 million US Dollar."
Zhang Qingxue Although I already knew that Zhao Chen had a big layout on Bitcoin, when I heard this specific number and such accurate Swing Trading, there was still a trace of amazement in my eyes.
This is no ordinary investment, but a blitzkrieg based on amazing predictions.
"After completing the band covering, we immediately executed the leverage Add Position order."
Chen Xi's finger slid to bring up the final position summary, "At the average price of 855 US Dollar, use Five Times Leverage to purchase an additional 175,000 Bitcoin."
She raised her head, looked at Zhao Chen, and reported the final result word for word:
"Currently, our total positions are:
The original core position is 375,000 coins, and the new leverage position is 175,000 coins, totaling 550,000 Bitcoin."
Study was quiet for a few seconds, with only the faint background sound of the city coming from outside the window.
For Su Wantang, every number is far beyond her cognitive scope, but there is no surprise or confusion on her face.
Zhao Chen leaned back on the chair, exhaled slowly, and finally showed a deep and satisfied smile on his face.
"Very good." He looked at Chen Xi with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"Not only did we achieve the basic target of 500,000 pieces, we also exceeded the quota by 50,000 pieces. More importantly, while achieving Band Profit and thickening the safety pad, we also completed Add Position at a lower cost.
Assistant Chen, well done."
He did not mention "prophet", but only affirmed the implementation.
But this affirmation is more weighty than any praise.
Chen Xi pushed up his glasses and nodded slightly:
"It was your accurate judgment that gave me the window and confidence to operate."
She did not take credit, but attributed the credit to the correct decision.
Zhao Chen waved his hand, turned his eyes to Zhang Qingxue, then looked back at Chen Xi, his expression became serious and formal:
"I asked you two to come together today. In addition to listening to the report, there is something more important to announce."
He paused and his voice was steady and strong:
"From today on, all of my personal financial investment businesses of Offshore Capital Pool - including but not limited to cryptocurrency, US Stocks and other securities investments - will be fully handled by Chen Xi.
She has independent decision-making and execution authority and is first responsible for me."
As soon as these words came out, even Chen Xi, who was always calm, was slightly startled.
Zhang Qingxue also looked surprised.
This means that Zhao Chen has completely entrusted Chen Xi with the largest and most secret cornerstone of his future wealth.
This trust is worth more than a thousand dollars.
"Zhao Zong, this..." Chen Xi subconsciously wanted to say something.
"Listen to me." Zhao Chen interrupted her, her tone unquestionable,
"This is not a whim. The operations of the past few months have proven that you not only have top execution capabilities and rigorous risk control awareness, but also have the tactical qualities to stay calm and seize opportunities in violent fluctuations.
