Although they couldn't figure out why Chen Yan knew gold prices would soar,
the fact was more convincing than any argument.
At least, Chen Yan had bet correctly,
and their earlier mockery had now turned into tears of regret!
If only they had also bought gold futures with Chen Yan, they would be the ones making a fortune now!
However, some financial institutions did not want to admit defeat.
After all, the Beautiful Country had blown the winds before, only to retract its statements later.
This was just a routine press conference, not a binding announcement.
Moreover, the Beautiful Country had a history of swallowing its own words.
Thus, some smaller financial institutions chose to take a gamble.
Since it was too late to buy, they decided to bet on the bear market instead.
They were not gambling mindlessly but had ample reasons.
All over the world, people started buying gold because of the Beautiful Country's wind-blowing.
