Chapter 36 This guy isn't even human...
"Those damned sons of bitches! Just a few days ago they were on TV and in the newspapers urging everyone to buy stocks and rush into the market!"
In another corner of the office, someone was hysterically screaming, their voice filled with the rage of betrayal.
"How could they do this?! How could they do something like this in the back without any warning?! Damn it! So damn insidious! Shameless!"
"Run! Sell the fuck out of here! Sell as much as you can! If you're even a second later, all the positions you're holding will be wiped out! Hurry up!"
Just a few tens of minutes ago, those people who were chatting and laughing in the smoking area, full of high spirits, dreaming about what new luxury car they would buy with their hefty bonuses this month, or which island vacation they would go to...
At this moment, they were all plunged into the most primal and utter panic and despair!
The entire trading department had become a living hell!
It was filled with desperate screams, frantic keyboard pounding, and... the silent shattering sound of wealth vanishing in an instant.
Everyone wants to cut their losses and get out of the market as quickly as possible, at any cost!
Escape this sudden and devastating disaster!
However...
In the market, there were only sell orders, like a torrent of floodwaters!
Densely packed! Layer upon layer!
There's simply no way to find a single buyer willing to take over!
"..."
Just when the entire private equity firm, and almost all of its trading teams, were engulfed in a devastating chaos and panic, as if the end of the world had come.
Only...
There was only one team, seemingly at the very center of this raging storm, yet strangely detached from it all.
It's like standing on the opposite bank of a raging river, coldly observing this sudden... grand fireworks display.
Of course, to be more precise, they were not truly at peace.
Instead, they were completely stunned by another kind of impact, equally enormous but entirely different in nature!
"Really...really...just like the manager said...the stock market...just...just like that...collapsed?"
A regular trader in the Seventh Department stared blankly at the candlestick chart on his screen, which represented the collapse of the entire stock market and its precipitous drop, muttering to himself as if in a dream.
"The manager...how...how could he...know in advance..."
Another trading assistant, who was usually quite quick-witted, was also filled with disbelief, and his voice was trembling uncontrollably.
Among this group of employees who were also caught in another extreme emotion—shock to the point of "panic".
Liang Haiyuan was actually the first person to barely regain a shred of rationality!
His heart was pounding wildly in his chest like a war drum!
His blood seemed to be rushing and boiling uncontrollably in his veins!
An immense surge of excitement and disbelief overwhelmed him like a volcanic eruption!
"What the hell are you all standing there for?!"
He suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted with all his might!
His voice was hoarse and distorted due to extreme excitement.
"This is not the time to stand around! Hurry! All of you, get to it! Go check immediately! Check those...those short positions we bought earlier! Quickly confirm the current profits!!"
"Huh?! Oh! Yes! Yes! Brother Haiyuan!"
Startled awake by his loud shout, the team members, like robots that had been put on a start, jolted awake and frantically rushed to their computer screens.
Liang Haiyuan also stumbled and scrambled back to his seat, almost using both hands and feet.
His fingers trembled uncontrollably from excessive excitement. After several attempts, he finally managed to click on the trading interface that he had almost never dared to look at before!
Just before he got up to smoke, this screen was filled with despairing, disastrously low numbers... green!
And now!
Just a few minutes later!
The entire screen!
It was completely engulfed by a blinding, dazzling, and blazing crimson...
Every single number!
They're all jumping wildly upwards! Soaring! Soaring even higher!
Those red numbers representing profits are growing at a rate faster than a rocket launch! Even more... terrifying!
'This...this is impossible?! This...this is simply...a miracle!'
Liang Haiyuan felt his breath completely stop at that moment!
He gripped the mouse tightly, his usually incredibly nimble hand now trembling like a leaf in the wind, unable to even complete a simple click!
This...this incredible, unbelievable reversal, like a god descending to earth!
This... their new manager of the Seventh Department... Su Hao!
How...how did he do that?!
How did he predict all of this?!
Liang Haiyuan was now absolutely certain!
In the financial center of the entire Xia Kingdom! No! Even on a global scale!
To be able to foresee it so precisely, and at such a perfect time:
The seemingly indestructible stock market will be tested at this moment! Right now!
People who fall so drastically in such a tragic way!
I am afraid!
Only one!
one person!
That's... their Trading Department Seven's... ridiculously young... Manager Su Hao!
Even if... even if there really were one or two extraordinary geniuses in this world who also possessed the ability to foresee the future, and happened to predict this major market crash...
But!
But who?!
Who else?!
Does he have that kind of guts?!
Does he have that kind of courage?!
Someone as... insane as him?!
Daring to go against the tide, facing everyone's doubts and ridicule, and risking everything with real money when the entire market is immersed in a frenzied bullish atmosphere!
To place such an earth-shattering, all-or-nothing...reverse bet?!
That's not some trivial, insignificant undertaking! It's not some tentative investment of a few hundred thousand or a few million!
That's... a whole fifty million!
An astronomical figure that could bankrupt any medium-sized enterprise instantly!
"..."
Liang Haiyuan abruptly raised his head, his gaze, as if drawn by a magnet, piercing through the thin glass partition of the office, fixed intently on that—
While the entire department, and even the entire company, was engulfed in apocalyptic chaos and panic, he remained as calm and composed as a rock, sitting in his own private office... a young figure.
Manager Su Hao!
Liang Haiyuan felt his throat was as dry as the Sahara Desert.
He swallowed hard, making a clear "gulp" sound.
This moment.
At this breathtaking, earth-shattering moment.
He finally... completely understood.
Back then, his manager Zhou Yi, who had taken good care of him, patted him on the shoulder meaningfully and with great seriousness before he was transferred, and said to him:
"Haiyuan, when you work for this Su Hao, you must put aside your pride, learn diligently, observe and listen more. It will be of immense benefit to you in the future..."
The true meaning contained in that sentence, the meaning that he couldn't understand at the time!
Su Hao!
He is not, as the rumors suggest, someone who was parachuted in through some mysterious background or nepotism... a so-called "connected person" or " Crown Prince "!
He just...
He was just like those ordinary people who struggled at the bottom of society, relying on experience and hard work to make a living...
From the very beginning, they were never on the same level! Not even in the same dimension!
His promotion speed was astonishing, like a rocket, and could even be said to be completely against the company's promotion rules!
The company's top executives treated him with seemingly irrational special treatment and almost permissive attitude!
Previously, all the doubts and mysteries that troubled Liang Haiyuan, puzzled him, and even made him somewhat indignant...
At this moment!
Faced with this cruel and shocking reality!
Like ice and snow exposed to sunlight, it vanished instantly!
Everything is perfectly reasonable!
Everything makes sense now!
'This guy...'
At this moment, only this thought remained in Liang Haiyuan's mind, deeply imprinted on his soul like a brand.
This thought was imbued with an indescribable sense of awe, originating from the deepest recesses of the soul!
This guy... he's not even human...
The young man who was still sitting calmly in the office at this moment...
He is clearly...
A god of trade, disguised in human form... a real, living being!
