Chapter 501: Hundreds of Millions in Income, Assets Doubled
When Xia Yu arrived at the headquarters of the Galaxy Fund, he heard laughter coming from the meeting room. He smiled and pushed open the slightly ajar door.
"It looks like you're all in a good mood!"
Xia Yu said cheerfully, scanning the room where Liu Xiao and other senior executives were present, each with numerous documents in front of them.
Seeing Xia Yu suddenly appear, everyone immediately stood up straight and respectfully greeted him, "Good day, Boss!"
Liu Xiao and others addressed Xia Yu as "Boss," unlike Wang Qi and others who referred to him as "Chairman." The Galaxy Fund operated independently without a board of directors, so Xia Yu made decisions unilaterally, and naturally, Liu Xiao and others called him "Boss."
In contrast, Wang Qi and others came from companies like Jiuding Securities and Jiuding Animation, which had been integrated. They were both general managers of various companies and board members of financial or media groups, so addressing Xia Yu as "Chairman" was more appropriate.
Of course, Xia Yu didn't mind these titles. What mattered was that his subordinates respected him and worked for him; other details were minor.
"You're all so happy. It seems you've made quite a bit of money. Did anyone make two million dollars?"
Xia Yu casually took the seat at the head of the table, leaned back, and asked with interest.
As soon as these words were spoken, smiles reappeared on Liu Xiao and the others' faces.
"Boss, we were just discussing this. Each of us made about two million dollars. I made the most—2.84 million dollars!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Liu Xiao spoke up.
"Not bad!"
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, pleased for Liu Xiao, then looked at the others and asked, "What about you?"
"Boss, I made 2.47 million dollars."
Xue He, the head of Fund No. 2, said.
"Boss, I made 2.54 million dollars."
...
Seeing everyone happily reporting their earnings, Xia Yu was not only unbothered but also glad that they had made money.
This was what they deserved.
Xia Yu had various plans, and Liu Xiao and others were the implementers. He couldn't hide any information from them to avoid unexpected issues that might cause the plan to fail.
Information and capital are the two major tools of success.
Liu Xiao and others were making money for Xia Yu every day. With such a large amount of funds moving and a series of wealth opportunities, it was impossible for them not to be tempted.
Therefore, Xia Yu adhered to the unwritten rules of the financial industry, allowing key personnel to participate in operations but keeping their investment limits low to avoid affecting the plan.
This time, Liu Xiao and others had invested almost all of the remaining bonus Xia Yu had rewarded them previously, which was why they had made at least two million dollars each.
With substantial interests, they would not think of embezzling from Xia Yu, avoiding adverse betrayal incidents, and binding them to his cause, making them more loyal to him.
"It seems that after you return to Hong Kong, each of you will become millionaires. Not bad!"
Xia Yu said with a smile. According to the exchange rate, their two hundred plus million dollars could be converted into tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
"It's all thanks to your support, Boss. Without you, we wouldn't have any of this."
Fund Manager No. 4, Li De, flattered with a smile, his eyes full of admiration for Xia Yu.
"Yes, thank you for letting us participate, Boss."
...
Hearing their heartfelt gratitude, Xia Yu felt a warm glow in his heart and encouraged them, "This is just the beginning. As long as you work hard, becoming billionaires in the future won't be difficult, and not in Hong Kong dollars but in USD or GBP!"
Upon hearing this, Xue He and others felt their hearts race and their faces turned flushed. They all exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, don't worry. We will work hard and won't let you down!"
Xia Yu nodded in satisfaction.
After some casual talk, Xia Yu inquired about the profits from this plan.
Liu Xiao immediately handed Xia Yu a detailed profit report. "Boss, this is the detailed profit report. All the funds are sitting in anonymous accounts."
Xia Yu nodded slightly and took the report, browsing through it.
The report listed the detailed profits of the four funds: the amount of capital at each entry point, the banks used, the leverage applied, and the exit points. It was very detailed, showing that there had been no tampering.
The four funds had accumulated 570 million HKD, which is 124 million USD in principal, leveraging 5.82 billion USD, trading in the forex market between 239-240 points to convert into yen, totaling nearly 1.4 trillion yen.
The profit was also staggering. After deducting leverage service fees and other expenses, the total profit was 1.25 billion USD, 370 million USD more than Jiuding Securities.
Jiuding Securities earned 880 million USD from forex trading and 72 million USD from Yichuan Group and Otowa Group, making a total profit of 952 million USD during this period.
Xia Yu calculated in his mind. This trip to Japan alone had earned him 2.2 billion USD from the financial market, exceeding 10 billion HKD, which was an immense fortune.
This amount of funds had surpassed the value of his current business assets, meaning that, unconsciously, his strength had more than doubled!
Even though Xia Yu's mindset was extremely calm, he couldn't help but feel excited.
However, thinking about how the world's top financial giants had assets in the hundreds of billions of dollars, Xia Yu's excitement quickly settled.
He still had a long way to go and couldn't afford to be complacent.
Liu Xiao and others noticed Xia Yu's change in demeanor. Seeing the boss's calm expression, they were astonished and admired him even more.
The boss truly was exceptional. Just this calm attitude alone was far beyond their reach.
When they had calculated this number, they had been extremely excited, and this wasn't even their money. Now, seeing the boss's expression, they couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed and reflective.
After a while, Xia Yu withdrew his gaze from the report, gently placed it down, and said appreciatively, "The earnings are great. I'm very satisfied!"
"You've earned so much, and if you don't need the bonus, I won't give it to you. For the upcoming international crude oil and London gold market plans, I'll allocate a follow-up quota of three million dollars to each of you."
Operating in the international crude oil and London gold markets couldn't leverage as highly as the Japanese yen exchange rate to avoid being targeted. Therefore, expanding Liu Xiao and others' investment quotas wouldn't have a significant impact.
Initially, hearing that there would be no bonus, Liu Xiao and others felt a bit disappointed but weren't angry. After all, due to the boss, each of them earned over two million dollars, so the bonus was insignificant in comparison.
However, when they heard that the upcoming actions would allow each person a three-million-dollar quota, Liu Xiao and others' eyes widened, their hearts raced, and they were thrilled.
At this moment, they didn't care about the bonus at all.
The boss had approved a three-million-dollar quota for them. For the upcoming actions, they were confident that making a profit would be no problem at all!
Awesome!
"Thank you, Boss!"
Liu Xiao led the way, bowing deeply and thanking Xia Yu loudly.
"Thank you, Boss!"
The others also reacted, thanking him in unison, their faces full of gratitude.
Xia Yu listened with a smile, and after more than ten seconds, he stopped them.
"Alright, doing your job well in the future is the best way to show your appreciation."
"I will withdraw thirty million dollars. Transfer the rest to Jiuding Bank. You all go back to Hong Kong and make preparations according to the previous plan!"
Xia Yu's expression was serious as he instructed everyone.
Afterward, Xia Yu reminded them of a few more things and then left the Galaxy Fund headquarters.
After Xia Yu left, Liu Xiao and the others began to pack up according to his instructions. The next day, they boarded a plane to Hong Kong.
