Chapter 340 The World Has Changed

As November arrives, the world's attention inevitably focuses on a grand game being played across the ocean.

The election for President Emily was underway, and with the support of the mainstream Western media, Wall Street, and the international elite, Hillary Clinton seemed to have the victory in the bag. From the outside perspective, she had a great chance to pay homage to Empress Wu Zetian and achieve a double victory for a female politician.

But the drama of fate is often more absurd than the script of a novel.

An unexpected email scandal tore apart hope Niangniang's composed facade.

The golden retriever seized the opportunity and made a comeback, overtaking the others in the approval rating!

On November 9th, with the official announcement of the final vote count, the dust settled.

The Golden Retriever wins!

This also means that by January of next year at the latest, this president, who does things in unconventional ways, will take office in the White House.

For most ordinary netizens at Dongda University who are generally easygoing and don't care about anything else, this is just a routine change of government on the other side of the ocean, which means there's just one more internet celebrity on Weibo that they can use to make jokes and complain.

But as Li Feng sat in his president's office at Jinling Haofeng headquarters, watching the news on the screen, the laziness in his eyes vanished at that moment.

"Only two months left..."

Li Feng silently calculated the timeline.

He knew all too well what kind of shadow this unpredictable blond-haired man would cast on the University of Tokyo's high-tech and semiconductor industries after taking office.

The time he has left to safely cash out in high-risk overseas markets is ticking away, second by second.

"Yu Xi." Li Feng pressed the intercom button.

"Have Zhao Zhe, Sister Gao, and Yu Dazui all come to headquarters for a meeting this afternoon!"

……

That afternoon, inside the conference room.

The group's three leaders sat upright, even their breathing was very soft.

The executives all knew that the boss's grand gesture today, even bringing back Yu Dazui from Xuzhou, meant that things were definitely not going to end badly.

Li Feng placed his fingers interlaced on the table and cut to the chase: "There's only one topic for today's meeting: when will we sell off our Nvidia shares?"

"Zhao Zhe, tell me first, how much has Nvidia's stock price risen to now?"

Upon hearing the words "selling Nvidia shares," both Ms. Gao, who was in charge of finance, and Mr. Yu felt a pang of anxiety.

That's a full 17.5% of the shares!

Old Huang paid a hefty price and made many promises to regain control from Li Feng!

Zhao Zhe hurriedly reported the latest data: "President Li, stimulated by the recently announced surge in quarterly financial results, the positive impact of the deep cooperation with Tesla on intelligent driving chips, and their conceptual packaging in the fields of graphics computing and AI..."

"Nvidia's current stock price on Nasdaq has risen to an all-time high of $88.77 per share!"

Zhao Zhe suggested with some heartache:

"Mr. Li, based on current market feedback and long-term logic, Nvidia's future growth potential is limitless. Our investment department really doesn't recommend selling at this current high point!"

"I don't recommend selling?" Li Feng glared at Zhao Zhe, annoyed.

"You think I want to throw it away?!"

However, he could not openly discuss the sanctions imposed after Trump took office, so he could only turn to look at Yu Chengdong beside him.

"Big Mouth! Have all those lithography machines we bought from ASML in the Netherlands, which we went through with Nvidia, arrived safely?"

Upon hearing the mention of equipment, Yu Dazui's previously bloodshot eyes immediately lit up, and he patted his chest, assuring everyone:

"Mr. Li! It's all done! Everything's done!"

"Old Huang is incredibly efficient! Last month, the last batch of equipment was all delivered to the Xuzhou Industrial Park!"

"Not only were the thirty 28nm DUV lithography machines stipulated in the contract delivered in full, but Lao Huang also helped us purchase five additional ASML Twinscan XT 1950i immersion lithography machines, which were just released in August!"

Yu Dazui chuckled: "Even when they delivered them to us, NVIDIA's technical team had already completed the physical isolation and underlying software reconstruction of these machines."

"Every control chip and every line of code inside has been thoroughly cleaned to ensure there are no remote backdoors."

Hearing that the equipment was fully paid for, and that they even got five more of the latest 1950i models, Li Feng felt half relieved.

But he also knew in his heart that the reason why Nvidia was cooperating so well was because of the 17.5% stake he held!

It's worth noting that Huang and the Wall Street tycoons behind him are extremely eager to clear their names of Chinese investment in order to profit from the upcoming AI boom.

"Since even Nvidia can see that things are about to change, then we can't keep these shares."

Seeing his boss's resolute attitude, Zhao Zhe knew that the outcome was already decided.

But as the head of the investment department, it's understandable that he would feel reluctant to give up an asset that he knew was poised for takeoff.

"Mr. Li... if we really have to sell everything, then our group's overseas technology investment sector will be too empty."

Zhao Zhe proposed a highly feasible, albeit borderline, solution:

"Or... how about, while circumventing regulations, using anonymous overseas shell funds on the secondary market to acquire and retain 4.99% of Nvidia's shares?"

"As long as the shareholding ratio is below 5%, there is no need to make any complicated equity disclosures to the outside world, nor will it attract the attention of the review agency."

4.99%?

It must be admitted that Zhao Zhe, the investment director he poached at a sky-high price, is quite adept at exploiting loopholes in the capital market.

Hearing this, Li Feng's mind started to race.

"Is it possible?"

Zhao Zhe was clearly prepared, and confidently said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li. Nvidia's current stock price, which is at an all-time high, has made many retail investors and investment institutions in the market afraid of heights."

"After all, they had a history of plummeting by 80% during the 2008 financial crisis."

"Within two months at most, our investment department can secure that 4.99% without alerting the regulators."

Upon hearing this, Li Feng immediately understood the situation.

The fact that Zhao Zhe was able to figure out the path so clearly in such a short time shows that this kid's financial skills are indeed superior.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you." After saying that, Li Feng looked at Sister Gao, the financial director, who was standing to the side.

"Gao Huai, tell Nvidia's board of directors that I will complete the share transfer on the fifteenth of next month."

"But the price must be 50% higher than the previously agreed premium; not a penny less!"
