I Have a Wealth Gathering Array
Chapter 453: The Seven Deadly Sins — Greed!
In November, Qin Yun’s profit was only 180 million, but now it has surged by two to three times!
What does a monthly profit of 460 million mean? That’s 5 billion in profits annually!
This profit can rival Anta!
And in the domestic market, Anta is certainly one of the giants in the clothing industry!
"The domestic market is still larger than the foreign market, and by more than 20 million!"
Qin Yun took a look. Logically, the Wealth Gathering Array should have the same effect domestically and internationally, and profits should be similar. Previously, competition from Yangyu Clothing caused foreign profits to be consistently lower.
Now, Yangyu Clothing has been defeated, but the domestic charity event once again sparked a consumer craze, increasing Celestial Fortune’s profits by over 20 million within two or three weeks!
Foreign markets did not have the influence of charity. Therefore, there remains a gap between the two large markets.
"The balance has not reached 10 billion, insufficient to activate the Level 4 Wealth Gathering Array."
"The Wealth Gathering Array Source contains Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 Wealth Gathering Arrays. Please choose the Wealth Gathering Array to activate on February 1."
As the voice fell, Qin Yun immediately said, "I choose to activate six Level 2 Wealth Gathering Arrays and nine Level 1 Wealth Gathering Arrays!"
As the words fell, information in his mind changed instantly.
"Name: Qin Yun."
"Level 3 Wealth Gathering Array: None"
"Level 2 Wealth Gathering Array: 88 arrays (82 arrays used)"
"Level 1 Wealth Gathering Array: 158 arrays (149 arrays used)"
"Balance: 1,016,815,000"
"System refreshed."
"The next Wealth System update will be on February 1 at 12:00 midday."
...
A series of mechanical sounds emerged, and then the multitude of information also faded away, leaving only the Wealth Gathering Array Source!
Under Qin Yun’s control, in the newly opened Celestial Fortune Clothing store in Shanghai, points of light from the Wealth Gathering Array quickly activated, forming an array that completely enveloped it!
The Shanghai market was also completely seized by Qin Yun.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Anhui, at this time Celestial Fortune has already taken on a significant scale!
"Instantly, the profit has reached over 400 million, and the funds I can mobilize have increased once more."
Feeling the new stores being opened, Qin Yun silently thought to himself.
"In December, profits reached such heights, this month will only be more!"
With the accumulation of the Wealth Gathering Arrays, Qin Yun’s profits will continue to increase!
Even though these profits have reached such astonishing numbers, surprisingly, there is no sign of satisfaction in Qin Yun’s eyes.
"Over 400 million is still not enough, I can’t even pay off what I owe the bank."
In November, Celestial Fortune opened too many stores all at once, and these stores were all bought outright by Qin Yun, so he took another large loan from the bank.
All in all, the 88 stores of over 200 square meters and 158 stores of 40 square meters which he opened up cost nearly 1.3 billion in total!
But now, Qin Yun has earned 1.1 billion.
In other words, he still owes the bank 200 million.
And now, Qin Yun wants to repay all of this money!
"I have the Wealth Gathering Array, and my personal fortune is unparalleled. To make money is far easier for me than for others. It’s a complete waste of my capabilities to still owe the bank!"
With this thought in mind, a hint of greed flickered in Qin Yun’s eyes.
"460 million, this still isn’t enough!"
Today at noon is the day the Wealth System updates, and also the time for Qin Yun to experience his third negative emotion.
This time, the negative emotion activated is Greed, one of the Seven Deadly Sins!
A person filled with greed is never satisfied, even though Celestial Fortune’s profits have already skyrocketed to this extent! But Qin Yun still feels it is not enough!
At this moment, Qin Yun is in his hotel room. Previously, his plan was to avoid people around him and quietly wait for time to pass, but now with the emergence of greed, his mindset has shifted again.
"How can I get more money?" Qin Yun pondered inwardly.
With good luck, he has many ways to make money.
"Lottery?"
As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, Qin Yun quickly dismissed it.
Winning the lottery a few times is fine, but winning all the time will easily raise suspicions.
Though greedy, he still has his wits and knows certain things can be done, and some cannot.
Regarding stock trading, Qin Yun has already been doing this.
However, stocks don’t have very high returns even if Qin Yun has great luck; the adage of chasing gains and cutting losses doesn’t put him in the position where whatever stock he buys skyrockets.
Aside from some stocks with continuous limit-ups, almost all stocks go up and down continuously.
As for the previous plunge in Yangyu Clothing’s stock price, Qin Yun made money by shorting it...
In reality, shorting stocks requires a counterparty, meaning there need to be people who are optimistic about the stock.
If the stock price plummets and everyone is pessimistic, with no buyers, transactions can’t be completed.
In the current continuously dropping apparel market, confident investors are few and far between.
Qin Yun is not inclined to waste effort on it and had limited opportunities last month; this month there’s no meaningful chance to short either.
"Should I continue to milk Cold Dew Clothing and Yangyu Clothing?"
Having ruled out the lottery and stocks as methods to make money, Qin Yun mused. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
He had previously gained a lot from these two companies, up to tens of millions.
Now, with Cold Dew Clothing getting affected by the Wealth Dispersal Array set up by Qin Yun, their fortune and transformed it into the Wealth Gathering Array has opened up a market of one and a half provinces for Qin Yun.
However, even a dead camel is larger than a horse. Just like if Qin Yun’s Celestial Fortune Clothing stores were to all close down, his wealth would still remain.
So, Cold Dew Clothing and others still have a foundation.
Of course, now that their stores are closed, Qin Yun can’t milk them.
This thing called luck - no matter how strong, if others don’t open their stores, he can’t just take the money by force.
After pondering for a bit, Qin Yun gave a call to Zhao Tianqiang, "Manager Zhao, please send me detailed information about the industries associated with Cold Dew Clothing and Lailuo Clothing."
Whenever it comes to milking, Qin Yun’s first choice is to milk his competitors.
He wants to see what he can still gain from them.
"Certainly, President Qin," Zhao Tianqiang promptly replied upon hearing Qin Yun’s instructions.
Qin Yun waited, thinking to himself, "If there’s nothing here, I’ll look at foreign companies to see if there’s anything to gain."
Without provocation, he doesn’t wish to go up against others for no reason.
However, milking foreign companies doesn’t burden Qin Yun at all.
After all, the money made would go abroad anyway. It’s better for him to obtain it.
While thinking, soon Zhao Tianqiang sent over the relevant data.
In fact, as a competitor, collecting information on rivals is a given.
This was collected earlier; it was just never thoroughly reviewed by Qin Yun.
Upon closer inspection, most of these clothing companies are strictly within the apparel industry, with little engagement in other sectors.
"Hmm?"
After a while, Qin Yun suddenly noticed a piece of information, and his eyes lit up.
