Chapter 355: Re-layout of Yuncheng Bio

Under Shen Anna's arrangement, the Old People's Agricultural Products Trading Company bought ten million N95 masks at a factory price of one yuan each.

However, Chen Yang felt this stockpile was still insufficient.

It is currently the Spring Festival travel season, with tens of millions of ordinary people working in the south taking various transportation to return home. This period is the most susceptible to spreading the S virus.

Once the epidemic surges into Dongjiangsheng, demand for masks will skyrocket.

Of course, affected by production technology and material costs, the factory price of N95 masks is a bit high. Continuing to purchase will affect the cash flow of the Old People's Agricultural Products Trading Company.

Chen Yang thought for a moment, then called Liu Jianghua.

"Governor Liu, I need fifty million disposable medical masks. Could you say hello to the leaders of Dongjiang Textile Factory and have them take this order?"

"Chen Yang, are you so certain the S virus will break out on a large scale?"

"Governor Liu, it's always right to prepare in advance. But it's the Spring Festival travel season now, with tens of thousands of workers returning from the south to Dongjiangsheng each day. If even one person gets infected, it could spread to ten, then a hundred, and even more. In that case, mask demand will surge."

"Of course, I also have business needs for ordering this batch of masks. If the S virus truly surges into Dongjiangsheng, our company can use these masks as gifts to stimulate online and offline consumption."

"Chen Yang, you're gambling! If the S virus does not surge into Dongjiangsheng, these fifty million masks will become a burden for your company. By then, don't drag Dongjiang Textile Factory down with you."

"Governor Liu, rest assured, I can sign a contract with them guaranteeing not to short them a single cent."

"Alright, since you want to gamble, I won't stop you either. Dongjiang Textile Factory happens to be lacking orders right now, so your order of fifty million masks is like sending charcoal in the snow for them."

Upon hearing that Liu Jianghua had already agreed to go to Dongjiang Textile Factory to coordinate the mask processing issue, Chen Yang repeatedly expressed his thanks.

"Honey, are you being a little overly worried?" After Liu Jianghua's call ended, Lin Wei also joined the ranks of those questioning him.

"Whether it's unnecessary worry, we'll know after this Spring Festival passes." Chen Yang didn't want to explain too much to Lin Wei.

Because in his previous life he experienced two major epidemics, at first no one paid attention to them.

After the major outbreak, various medical protective equipment and medicines became scarce resources. Daily necessities in supermarkets were also snapped up. Then came a panic-driven surge in prices.

Of course, ordering so many masks for promotion, the Old People's Agricultural Products Trading Company's cash flow still wouldn't hold up. Chen Yang decided to go to the stock market to make some money. Then he would take the profits to subsidize the mask purchase costs.

Because at this stage the US stock market is in a low ebb with no room for maneuver, Chen Yang turned his focus to the domestic market.

After Xingcheng Financial Investment Company withdrew its funds, Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock price fell back to eighteen point six.

Chen Yang first passed on this stock.

At this time Wu Junhui was in Europe discussing the introduction of automobile patent technology; if Chen Yang went to hype this stock, the other side would surely go complain to Liu Jianghua.

To make a little money and cause Liu Jianghua to develop a dislike for him would not be worth it.

Moreover, Little Goose Shares, which shares the same concept as Xingcheng Heavy Industry, is too small in scale to have much hype space. Chen Yang also did not consider it.

As for Liu Clan Group, Xinfei Technology, and Xianfeng Technology, these three tech stocks are all at high levels. Entering now would likely result in being trapped eight or nine times out of ten.

Therefore, Chen Yang finally locked his target onto Yuncheng Bio's stock.

Yuncheng Bio has been in a consolidation period recently, adjusting downward from twenty-five yuan, and today's closing price has already dropped to twenty-one yuan.

And the impending S virus epidemic is a major boon for Yuncheng Bio, which is engaged in vaccine research, development, production, and sales. Entering the market now to position oneself will surely yield a big profit.

Chen Yang originally also planned to select a few more medical stocks as backups, but the weather in Qingshui City in winter is truly freezing; before he could study other stocks, Lin Wei forcibly dragged him to bed to warm the blankets.

A night of spring passion.

After the opening call auction of the stock market began the next day, Chen Yang phoned Yexin while monitoring Yuncheng Bio's call auction situation.

"You little brat, calling me at this time—are you trading stocks?"

"Yeah, getting ready to ambush Yuncheng Bio."

"Yuncheng Bio? Have you gotten some insider information, you little brat?"

"No, I just think that if the S virus really breaks out, medical stocks will have a big rally."

"Alright, then I'll join you in this gamble."

"Remember not to make too much of a fuss!"

"Rest assured, if you don't trust me, do you not trust Lan Yatou either?"

After Chen Yang hung up the phone, he began to turn his attention back to the stock market.

Yuncheng Bio opened lower by two points today, with an opening price of twenty point five eight.

Chen Yang's commission is ten thousand zero point two, so he placed only hundred-lot buy orders.

Moreover, as long as the stock price is above twenty point six five, he stops placing upward orders.

This operation continued until the morning close, altogether buying thirty thousand lots of Yuncheng Bio's stock.

After the close, Qi Yunxiang's phone call came in.

"Mr. Chen, you all collectively charging into Yuncheng Bio's stock—did you get insider information?"

"No!" Chen Yang was also speechless toward Qi Yunxiang; every time he bought stocks, he was always suspected of having insider information. In fact, once capital accumulates to a certain degree, as long as one avoids stepping on a landmine stock and goes with the trend, one can basically make easy profits.

"Mr. Chen, you haven't traded Yuncheng Bio's stock for a long time—why are you suddenly interested?" Qi Yunxiang, not getting the answer he wanted, asked another question.

"Boss Qi, don't overthink it. I merely judged that the dividend period for medical stocks is about to arrive, so I'm just positioning ahead of time."

"Alright, then I'll join you in playing!"

After receiving the answer, Qi Yunxiang immediately made up his mind. Over these years, the only client who could let him steadily profit from stock trading is Chen Yang.

Therefore, whenever Chen Yang takes action, he will participate as well.

And with Qi Yunxiang's involvement, it becomes unrealistic to push the stock price down below twenty point six five again.

Before the afternoon close, Chen Yang only bought two million shares of Yuncheng Bio, with an average price of twenty point seven.

However, he had previously reached an agreement with Yexin and Qi Yunxiang to keep the stock price at twenty point eight until the close.

After the market opened the next day, the three parties' capital directly drove the price down to the limit-down of eighteen point seven two. Chen Yang ultimately averaged nineteen point five to re-accumulate ten million shares.

By this point, his layout in Yuncheng Bio was basically complete.
