Chapter 55 Dancing Amidst the Ruins!
"Strange... After we bought it, there's been no further activity?" the subordinate reported again.
Data shows that after Fang Huan Investment poured money into the company, it became completely inactive, like a dead plant.
This doesn't make sense.
Generally speaking, don't "market manipulators" who want to manipulate stock prices first need to enter the market to accumulate shares, and then start to drive up the price, create fluctuations, and then distribute their shares, causing chaos in the market and leaving retail investors confused?
Fang Huan Investment's operation involved buying in batches to minimize the impact on the stock price, and then simply "playing dead" after the purchase.
What's the real purpose of this?
Of course, Fang Jun wouldn't let his guard down because of this.
Who knows if those bastards are brewing some big move?
Who knows, maybe a sudden, nuclear-level attack will occur a few minutes before the market closes, dumping all the shares and driving the stock price down?
"Huh? Chief! They've moved! They've moved!" his subordinate suddenly shouted.
Just then, the data on the screen suddenly started fluctuating wildly!
Fang Huan Investment, which had been lying low for an unknown period of time, has finally made its move again!
However, the problem is...
This time, it's not just them who are stirring up the market; it's the entire financial market!
"Hiss... Greece, that bomb, actually exploded!"
Fang Jun looked at the market index and gasped.
The entire financial market was thrown into chaos by the IMF's statement regarding Greece's refusal to extend the repayment period!
The shadow of the stock market crash had not yet dissipated when a European sovereign nation blatantly defaulted on its debts!
Holy crap! Is this even possible?!
Investor confidence collapsed like an avalanche, and panic spread like a plague.
Panic selling led to a frantic sell-off regardless of cost, while bargain hunters hesitated and tried to profit from the chaos, turning the entire market into a boiling cauldron of simmering porridge!
"..."
Fang Jun once again focused his attention on the "key accounts" of Fang Huan Investment.
With the Greek default now a foregone conclusion, the stock market has begun to show a clear divergence:
Stocks related to Greek debt and the European economy plummeted in response.
Meanwhile, some safe-haven assets or special sectors that benefit from panic rose against the trend.
However, what Fang Jun saw next made his pupils shrink sharply.
Holy crap!
"How is that possible?! The market is in turmoil, only they... only they are consistently making profits?"
The screen clearly shows that all the stocks that are rising, as long as they are held by Fang Huan Investment, are definitely long positions!
Those stocks that have fallen must be short positions held by short sellers!
This perfectly matches their positions established long ago! Absolutely!
What the hell does this mean?
Fang Jun felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle.
"This morning... no, even earlier! they were already 100% certain... that Greece would definitely default today?! That it would definitely breach the contract?!"
How is that possible?
One instance could be attributed to luck, or it could be attributed to keen insight.
But after accurately predicting the stock market crash last time, can they even know in advance the outcome of the power struggle between the Greek government and the IMF, which are located far away?!
This information is ridiculously accurate!
Just how powerful is this group's intelligence network?
Is it even more powerful than the national intelligence agencies?
Fang Jun subconsciously glanced at the trading activity of several other top domestic securities firms, and the results were absolutely appalling!
They were in a panic, completely overwhelmed, and clearly caught off guard by this sudden "black swan" event. They were so worried that they almost lost their underwear!
Only Fang Huan Investment!
A standout among them!
Dancing gracefully amidst the ruins!
"Director! They...they didn't just plan ahead! Now...they're taking advantage of the market's extreme volatility to engage in high-frequency short-term trading!"
His subordinate's voice trembled with disbelief.
Fang Jun looked closely, and sure enough!
But what's even more astonishing is yet to come!
After successfully predicting and planning, Fang Huan Investment and its team did not know when to stop!
On the screen, Fang Huan Investment's trading orders flooded the screen like a storm, with buy and sell orders moving at a dizzying pace.
They take advantage of the market's chaos and panic, like the most agile surfers, precisely riding the waves in the turbulent market!
Every buy and sell point is precisely timed to be at the peak or trough of the fluctuation!
Every operation perfectly skirts the edge of regulatory red lines!
The smooth, effortless operation and the agile trading skills made even seasoned veteran Fang Jun, who had seen it all, gasp in astonishment!
This is definitely not a team effort that a few traders could achieve by working independently!
Fang Jun is willing to bet on his 20 years of experience in the industry that there is definitely a mastermind behind this, directing everything!
He was controlling the whole situation with an almost monstrous, no, it was practically magic-like skill!
"Investigate! Investigate! Who exactly is the leader of this team?!"
Fang Jun slammed his hand on the table, his eyes filled with shock!

Before the official "harvest" begins.
Su Hao quickly assigned stock codes and capital limits to his already highly motivated traders.
What they're going to play next is a high-frequency, fast-paced, heart-pounding game that demands a high level of teamwork, requiring strict adherence to orders and perfect synchronization.
At first, he wondered if he could use internal communication software or chat software to type and send commands.
But when he stepped out of his office and stood before the group of traders who were as nervous as quails...
A miracle happened!
"bite!"
That familiar, sixth-sense-like warning signal has come again!
Moreover, this signal is a bit special—it's directional!
Just like using a wallhack in an FPS game, the "signal" pointed in a certain direction within his line of sight!
He instinctively looked in that direction—it was where Li Huilin was!
Almost at the same time, a strong impulse to "Damn it! Sell it now! Otherwise it'll be stuck with me!" surged through my mind like an electric current!
" Sister Huilin," Su Hao walked up to her in a few steps, his voice not loud but unusually clear, "Sell all the stocks you have."
"Huh? Oh! Yes!" Although Li Huilin was a little confused, she still subconsciously obeyed the order and her fingers flew across the keyboard.
A few seconds later, a notification popped up indicating that you had made a profit.
Sure enough! As soon as the order was given, the stock started to turn downwards, and a small but definitely substantial profit was secured.
It works! It really works!
Su Hao's heart stirred, as if a door to a new world had been opened!
When his gaze shifted in another direction, sweeping over Liang Haiyuan's workstation...
"bite!"
here we go again!
That familiar, tingling "premonition" returned!
"Haiyuan," he stopped abruptly, "clear out the stock immediately!"
"Ah? Yes!" Liang Haiyuan was an experienced user and reacted extremely quickly, his fingers immediately flying across the keyboard.
However, just as Su Hao was about to look away and "scan" the next target, a sudden numbness shot through the back of his neck—
A reverse signal! Holy crap! So fast?
"Haiyuan!"
"Huh? Yes! It's being thrown..."
"Wait! Don't sell! Buy it back immediately! Quick!"
"Huh?" Although Liang Haiyuan was full of questions, the trust built up over a long period of time made him immediately abandon his thoughts and unconditionally carry out the order.
"Yes! Yes! Buy!"
At this moment, Su Hao was completely excited!
Like a real battlefield commander, he began to move quickly around the not-so-large office area!
Whenever his gaze focuses on a specific workstation, that strong intuition—a "ding"—whether to buy or sell, arrives precisely on time, like a missile guided by a precision!
