Tomorrow is going to be when people realize both of these companies are way overvalued.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi’s sour comment didn’t affect Xiaoyun’s happy mood in the slightest, as he shrugged it off like it was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, it’s about 271.3% if you realize the calculation isn’t just to subtract the percentages from the total increases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi rolled her eyes at his technicality, Leyan and Tianci, who sat alongside them, were both still blown away by the numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you sure this is legal?\" Leyan nervously questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why wouldn’t it? The whole thing is just government contracts. They repair the factory, and we get to order stuff from them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, but... Isn’t this valuation a little too crazy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re worried that it might be a bubble, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, that too. Both of these companies just doubled in value in a day. They haven’t even repaired those factories yet, no?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun shook his head, then looked over to Yuqi, who had chosen to continue to stare towards the TV in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The stock market doesn’t reflect their capability to make money currently. It is based on the potential to make money in the future.\" Xiaoyun answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That sounds so irrational.\" Leyan quietly murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not really irrational. It’s just how the stock market had always worked... Right, Yuqi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He isn’t wrong... But Xiaoyun, aren’t you concerned that those investment funds might make too much money from this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone is willing to buy it off them when it reaches that high, then it’s that person’s or that institution’s problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun paused for a second, then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, are they really going to sell their golden egg? Cash out this early when they can continue holding it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, they have to lend you the money. There’s no way they’re able to afford your cut of the money and hold onto whatever amount they have in military index.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, they absolutely have the money for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The answer surprised Yuqi a little as she finally turned around to look over to him. Staring him in the eye for an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean it word by word. Those investment funds absolutely can afford it. Hell, they probably have enough to fund the entire military for next year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s impossible. Their registered records show they only have one billion assets combined, and the majority of them are in the military index.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How would you react when you learn the spare money they had put into an investment fund had doubled in value?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuqi fell into silence as the only sound in the living room became the news anchor talking about tomorrow’s weather...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until somebody sitting on the sofa got a little too curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How are people supposed to react?\" Tianci curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They pour more money into it. Everyone around them will learn about it and join in. Those investment funds will even have more liquidity than the government.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, why wouldn’t people just withdraw those profits?\" Lily curiously asked from the floor while playing with the babies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because they sign contracts that restrict them from withdrawing money, especially when those investment funds have just started up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Nami was the one who answered it. Her face was yawning as she barely looked awake on the other side of the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you really are a genius.\" Nami complimented next, her face looked genuinely impressed by his tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you... Looks like someone in the house appreciates my genius.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yuqi looked away in annoyance, the sound of the front door being knocked on suddenly echoed in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go answer it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun quickly got up from his seat, heading over to the front door before taking a look through the peephole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaoyun, you are a god damn genius! I love you so much! You’re the greatest husband of my entire life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kate excitedly runs into his arms as he opens the door for her, with Anna standing behind looking a little shy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love you too. Ahem, Anna, what are you standing at the door for? Come on in, it’s cold outside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Anna kicked off her shoes and put on a pair of slippers, Kate had already run off into the living room to be with everyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys wouldn’t believe what happened today. And you wouldn’t believe how much our company has gone up...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weekend finally arrived as the 1st week of November came to a close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun’s goal of increasing the military index by 500% was reached as the market closed for the weekend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had blown everyone’s expectations, even Xiaoyun himself didn’t expect it. The original deadline was supposed to be the end of next week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muxie had adjusted the stock exchange’s limit rule to be applied to 35% instead of 10%, which drastically changed the speed at which it was able to increase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The investment funds delivered the three billion as promised, albeit with the slight caveat that Xiaoyun had to sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a legal document that required him to spend all of the money on military contracts, which he was going to do regardless of signing the papers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With everything done, Xiaoyun could finally spend the weekend enjoying his time with his Tianci and his wives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least that was what he was originally hoping to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honey, wake up. It’s almost 11 o’clock already.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun opened his eyes, Leyan’s body was blocking the window’s sunlight from hitting his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Already? Why did I sleep so long today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stretching out his back, he weirdly felt a little exhausted despite abstaining from sex since Tianci gave birth to Ziling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, really. Ziling had been asking for Dada. Now get up and go wash your face. I had already cooked lunch for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Xiaoyun got up from the bed as he headed over to the bathroom. Walking past, he looked over to the calendar on the wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight more days before I need to go on the trip. And I have a date with Houqin a day before that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Xiaoyun headed back to his bedroom as he quickly changed into a pair of casual clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heading downstairs, only Lily and Nami were in the living room. Their eyes were glued to the TV as they were watching some sort of action movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly walked around them, going past the sofa as he headed into the kitchen, where Tianci and Leyan were sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da-da!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Ziling. Have you been behaving well this morning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ziling tilted her head slightly, seemingly confused. At the same time, she looked back at him with a smile as if she were happy to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Da-da?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds like you behaved well. Let me give you a warm little hug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop being so clingy. It’s only going to make her miss you even more when you’re gone.\" Leyan grumpily pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that jealousy I smell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leyan is right. Our daughter is really going to miss you.\" Tianci quietly murmured as she snags Ziling back into her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even you changed, too, Tianci? Whatever, at least I still have a week left before I’m gone from this house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun took a seat, Leyan quickly got up to head over to the rice cooker to bring him a bowl of rice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the table, there was a plate of fish, a plate of braised pork belly, and a plate of bok choy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So little dish today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone had either already eaten or gone outside. I’m not trying to have leftovers at dinner later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I guess... Where is everybody anyway?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuli and Yuqi went shopping for clothes. Both Kate and Anna asked Yueyue to help them with something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yueyue? What could she be helping them with?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know,\" Leyan answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably something to do with finding people.\" Tianci chimed in as she finished the last few bits of rice in her bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make sense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Xiaoyun fell into silence and started focusing on eating, a loud woosh suddenly came from the backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Probably just the wind. I’ll go check.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leyan quickly got up again and headed over to the backyard, while Tianci got up to put her empty bowl into the sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Xiaoyun, can you play with Ziling for a bit? I need to work on some paper from the lab later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1528,"2026-06-10T06:59:56.420Z",1,"novelbin.me","9237dba157aa12c269598702c4e161399ae55a7e15660d4e2140ca4ee632d1ad","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-625","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-624",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
