Chapter 27: Net Profit of Eighty Billion

The meeting with Professor Smith of Harbour City Polytechnic University was arranged at an exclusive, highly refined private club.

Professor Smith was a typical scholar: his hair meticulously combed, gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, his eyes carrying the rigor of a scholar and a subtle scrutiny of Qin Feng, the "mysterious billionaire." He had initially harbored little expectation for this meeting, assuming it might be another wealthy man's whimsical curiosity about cutting-edge technology.

Yet, when Qin Feng skipped excessive pleasantries and directly pulled up partial non-core structural diagrams and basic performance parameters of the Resonant Microhole Transmission System on the Tablet Computer he brought, Professor Smith's casual expression froze instantly.

He snatched the Tablet Computer (nearly rudely), his fingers rapidly zooming in and scrolling through the exquisitely intricate design schematics, his lips trembling slightly, eyes bulging behind his glasses.

"This… this is impossible!" he blurted in his native English, "This structure! This force transmission efficiency! It completely violates existing tribology and materials mechanics principles! Mr. Qin, who designed this? Which lab produced this?!"

Qin Feng calmly lifted his coffee cup, took a sip, and replied in a flat tone: "Professor, what do you estimate the value of this system to be?"

"Value? It's priceless!" Professor Smith's face flushed with excitement, "If these figures are real, it will completely rewrite the history of micro-transmission! The applications in micro-surgical robots, precision instruments, high-sensitivity sensors… even aerospace are incalculable! Good heavens, this is unbelievable!"

Watching the professor, overcome with emotion, Qin Feng knew the moment had come.

"Professor, this is the preliminary outcome of an independent research institute under my name," Qin Feng set down his coffee cup and revealed his true intent, "I am keen to commercialize this technology. I wish to establish a deep collaboration with you and the relevant laboratories at Harbour City Polytechnic University to co-found a joint venture for further optimization, pilot testing, and industrialization. You will serve as Chief Scientist, holding technical leadership and corresponding equity in the company."

Professor Smith hesitated not at all! As a top scholar, he understood better than anyone the epoch-making significance of this technology! This was not merely money—it was an opportunity to secure his name in history!

"I agree! Fully agree!" Professor Smith gripped Qin Feng's hand tightly, afraid he might retract, "Mr. Qin, thank you for your trust! We will create a product that changes the world!"

The cooperation agreement was reached at an unimaginable speed. The subsequent legal details and company formation were naturally handled by Sun Zhe and the legal team. All Qin Feng needed to do was provide the core technology and sufficient funding.

As the joint venture company for the Resonant Microhole Transmission System (named by Qin Feng as Jingwei Transmission) was being urgently prepared, Qin Feng did not pause. He knew that transforming a technology from blueprint to massive profit required time. He needed faster, larger cash flows to support his future Tech Empire blueprint and to acquire more Tech Points.

His gaze turned to the turbulent global financial markets.

In Hong Kong, this financial capital, his vast capital found a new, more thrilling stage.

He deployed over twenty billion in massive funds through his offshore investment company established in Hong Kong, stirring up storms in the international foreign exchange and futures markets.

This time, he did not rely on the unopened 【Wealth Prediction】, but instead leveraged his increasingly sharp 【Investment Insight】 (Intermediate skill on cooldown, but base talent still active) and his macro-level grasp of global economic trends, combined with Sun Zhe's elite analytical team, to precisely capture several major market fluctuations.

One was a long position in crude oil futures based on geopolitical risk; he entered decisively when tensions erupted in oil-producing regions, earning over ten billion in profit within a week.

Another was a bet on an unexpected monetary policy shift by a major central bank, executing a classic carry trade combined with directional speculation, netting another nearly ten billion.

He also precisely timed the bottom-feeding of several biotech and AI stocks undervalued by the market due to technological breakthroughs; once their value was rediscovered, their prices soared…

His trading style was bold, precise, ruthless, deploying enormous capital like a whale in the financial markets—each movement stirred massive waves. Hong Kong's financial circle soon learned of this mainland-born, capital-rich, sharp-eyed "Mr. Qin," who inspired both awe and curiosity.

In less than two months, after deducting all transaction costs and taxes, Qin Feng netted over eighty billion Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong's financial markets!

Net profit of eighty billion!

The news swept through Hong Kong's upper class like a hurricane, even reaching the mainland. Those who had criticized Qin Feng's methods following the Hongyuan Group incident fell utterly silent. Before absolute power and wealth, all doubts appeared feeble and hollow.

This massive influx of capital gave Qin Feng unprecedented confidence. He immediately increased investment in several tech companies under his control: Jingwei Transmission advanced by leaps and bounds; Deep Blue Power received full funding to build a large experimental ocean thermal energy conversion platform; Dimension Tech ordered the world's most advanced quantum computing research equipment; Light-Year Materials began preparing the world's first new perovskite photovoltaic thin-film production line…

Vast sums of money, like blood, surged madly into these technologies representing the future.

【Ding! Host has accumulated massive capital through financial market operations and made large-scale investments in cutting-edge R&D, significantly accelerating technology tree growth!】

【Reward granted: Tech Points +2000!】

【Wealth Prediction unlock progress +10%, current progress: 85%!】

Tech Points increased again, reaching 2500 points! The unlock for 【Wealth Prediction】 was now within reach!

Standing in the suite atop the Peninsula Hotel, Qin Feng gazed at the dizzying number in his account and the rapidly growing technology tree in the system, feeling no great emotion.

Money, to him, had long been merely a string of digits—a tool to leverage the future and acquire Tech Points.

Eighty billion? Much?

Perhaps, it was merely a stepping stone to unlock his next system function, or to deduce his next disruptive technology.

His gaze had already passed beyond the glitter of Victoria Harbour, reaching farther into the deep cosmos, toward the greater miracles hidden within the 【Technology Core】, waiting to be awakened.
