The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 62 Shao Kun's Doomsday!

"You're insane...you're a complete madman."

Shao Kun pointed at Lin Chen, abruptly shoved aside the secretary who was trying to help him, stumbled out of the hotel, and jumped into his car.

"Back to the Chamber of Commerce. Immediately."

……

That afternoon, the provincial capital's aquatic products chamber of commerce held an emergency closed-door meeting.

Shao Kun mortgaged all his fixed assets, including several commercial buildings and private villas, to the bank in exchange for a huge amount of working capital.

"Everyone, listen to me."

"That kid surnamed Lin, the cost of his live water tank must be terrifyingly high. Maintenance, transportation, electricity bills, every single one of them is a money pit. He's doing so well now because the cargo he has is unique."

"As long as we drive the price down, to the point where he loses money on every unit he sells, let's see how long he can hold out."

He looked around, his voice filled with madness.

"Starting tomorrow, all high-end seafood sold through all channels under the Chamber of Commerce will have their prices reduced by 50%. In the futures market, give me the freedom to short sell regardless of cost. Take as many short positions as you can."

"I'm going to use money to bury him alive."

The chamber of commerce members present looked at each other in bewilderment. Some wanted to offer advice, but seeing Shao Kun's murderous expression, they swallowed their words.

Meanwhile, in a secluded tea room.

In front of Lin Chen, a pale blue light screen also floated.

This light screen doesn't display coordinates or a countdown timer; instead, it shows complex and intertwined data streams.

[Financial Currents Forecast Panel]

This is a new module that the system unlocked after he registered his company.

At this moment, on the panel, a red data stream representing Shao Kun's funds is rushing towards the area of ​​high-end seafood futures, attempting to drive the price index down.

Deeper within that area, an even larger, darker stream of data had already been silently lurking there.

"Mr. Lin, Shao Kun has staked everything he has on this."

On the phone, the Huo family's strategist spoke calmly.

"Um."

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the panel, watching the red data stream crash into the pre-arranged trap, and he calmly uttered a single word.

"Close the net."

……

The next day, at the provincial capital's aquatic products exchange.

The trading hall was bustling with noise, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the huge electronic screen in the center.

The futures prices of high-end seafood are falling rapidly.

It opened at the daily limit down.

The cries of despair from countless retail investors echoed throughout the market.

Shao Kun stood in the VIP room on the second floor, holding a glass of champagne, his face flushed with a sickly pallor.

He looked down at the young figure standing in the crowd in the lobby below.

It's Lin Chen.

"Hehe... Hahaha."

Shao Kun laughed arrogantly, even thinking that Lin Chen had come to laugh at him, which made him even more excited.

He pointed at Lin Chen through the soundproof glass, his mouth making exaggerated gestures.

"You peasant, do you see that?"

"This is the power of capital."

"I'll let you line up on the rooftop when the market closes at 3 p.m. today."

Lin Chen ignored him and just stared at the screen quietly, as if the precipitous drop in the curve had nothing to do with him.

Chu Tiankuo stood beside Lin Chen, his forehead covered in cold sweat and his palms soaked.

"Brother Lin, can... can this be sustained? Shao Kun has completely gone mad; he's burning money to save your life."

"President Chu, don't worry."

Lin Chen turned his head to the side and even smiled.

"Let him fly a little longer."

There are ten minutes left until the market closes.

The price curve has fallen to an unimaginably low level, and Shao Kun's huge short position has generated an astronomical profit.

[Global Top-Tier Intelligence: Severe red tides are simultaneously occurring in the Bermuda Golden Triangle fishing grounds, the Norwegian North Sea fishing grounds, and the core area of ​​the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. It is expected that the vast majority of high-end wild seafood fishing operations worldwide will be suspended, with the duration unknown.]

[Warning: The global supply chain for high-end seafood is on the verge of collapse.]

At the same time, all the financial news screens lit up in the exchange's lobby switched to displaying the same image.

A blonde, blue-eyed female news anchor stood in front of a satellite cloud image, delivering an urgent news report in an extremely serious tone.

"...According to the highest-level alert just issued by the United Nations Oceanographic Agency, an unprecedentedly large and highly toxic red tide is simultaneously erupting in three major global fishing grounds. Experts predict this will be a severe marine ecological disaster, and the global high-end seafood market will face a significant blow..."

The entire exchange fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared blankly at the screen, as if they had been choked.

The next second, the price curve that had been lying at the bottom of the valley suddenly rose up at a right angle of ninety degrees, and then shot into the sky.

The price index soared, with increases exceeding 50%, 100%, 200%...

Every price fluctuation sent shivers down Shao Kun's spine.

In the VIP room, a piercing alarm sounded.

"Warning. Client's position has fallen below margin."

"Alert. Forced liquidation is in progress."

"Alert. Closing position failed. Opposite order blocked. Unable to close position."

The color drained from Shao Kun's face instantly.

He lost everything.

"No...it's impossible..."

Shao Kun staggered backward, crashing into the glass wall, muttering to himself.

"This is fake...it's an illusion..."

Inside the exchange, everyone held their breath, staring at the red candlestick on the big screen and the name at the top of it.

Longji Ocean Trading Group

Shao Kun's legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of everyone with a thud.

He felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a fishy smell rushed to his head.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood gushed out, staining the expensive wool carpet in front of him red.

Lin Chen didn't even glance at him, but simply raised his hand and tapped on his phone.

On the large screen, the price curve disappeared, replaced by a series of documents.

These are data extracted from the main control computer of the Poseidon.

The screen displayed clear transaction records, encrypted emails, and cryptic cargo ship route maps. All the evidence formed a complete chain, exposing Shao Kun's crimes.

He was not only the buyer of Zhao Deding's smuggled ivory, but also a front man for an overseas money laundering group in China.

"Oh My God……"

"Shao Kun... he actually does this?"

"This...this could cost you your head!"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Just then, the exchange's doors were suddenly kicked open.

A team of fully armed special police rushed in and headed straight for the VIP room on the second floor.

The lead officer didn't even glance at the bloodstains on the ground, flashed the arrest warrant, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Shao Kun, you are suspected of multiple serious crimes, including smuggling products made from nationally protected animals, possessing a huge amount of unexplained wealth, and transnational money laundering. Come with us."

Two special police officers stepped forward, lifted the limp Shao Kun from the ground, and handcuffed him.

Even after being dragged out of the VIP room, Shao Kun's eyes remained unfocused, and he kept muttering to himself.

"Impossible... I'm the president... I'm the president..."

In the hall, the business tycoons' gazes towards Lin Chen shifted from disdain to shock, and finally, only awe remained.

Chu Tiankuo stood behind Lin Chen, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

He was incredibly grateful that he had made the right choice at the Marriott Hotel.
