Chapter 57 Body and Soul Both Drained
Everyone was stunned! It was as if they had heard something unbelievable!
incredible!
They were just like puppets, frantically typing on the keyboard and clicking the mouse following the manager's instructions...
As a result... with a principal of 250 million, a profit of 35% was forcibly cut off in just a few hours?
This means... they earned nearly 90 million RMB in just one day?
"Holy crap! This is unscientific! This is absolutely unscientific! Even a printing press couldn't produce this fast!"
"A 35% intraday return from short-term trading?! Who would believe that?! Even Buffett would be kneeling before him!"
"Manager...how did he do that?...Could he really see the future?"
"Making money is a good thing... but... I feel completely drained, and I don't even want to move a finger now..."
These traders, who considered themselves financial elites, experienced for the first time what it meant to be "both physically and mentally drained."
In all my years as a trader, I've never encountered anything so outrageous!
They weren't doing any heavy physical labor!
Isn't it just sitting in a chair, clicking the mouse and typing on the keyboard in front of a computer screen?
Why are you so tired, like a dead dog?
"Oh, right,"
Just then, a voice came from the office doorway.
Everyone turned around at once, only to see their Manager Su rubbing his temples. It seemed that the intense "command" he had just given had taken a toll on him.
"I heard…" Su Hao glanced around at everyone, a thoughtful expression on his face, "that the foreign exchange market is traded 24 hours a day, right?"
"Ah…?" Li Huilin nodded subconsciously, "Yes…yes…"
Sudden!
An extremely ominous premonition, like a Siberian cold front, instantly swept over everyone present, causing them to involuntarily shiver.
The expressions on everyone's faces froze.
Manager...why is he asking this?
Su Hao's face showed a...
Like a child discovering a new toy, with a smile of curiosity and anticipation, he nodded in satisfaction.
"oh--"
He seemed very satisfied with the answer, and let out a pleased exclamation.
Then he turned around and walked briskly back to his office.
He left behind a group of people staring at each other, dumbfounded and as if struck by lightning.
"What...what did he mean by that 'oh—' he just said?"
"That expression...it looks like he's excited? Like he's looking forward to it?"
"Wait...wait a minute! What the manager means is...once the foreign exchange account is opened...does that mean we'll be stuck in our chairs, working 24/7?!"
"Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!!! Hiss——"
A collective gasp and a collective sigh of heartbreak filled the office...
***
call--!
Su Hao exhaled a long breath, feeling as if oil was oozing from every bone in his body, a truly exhilarating experience!
It felt like when I was raiding a new dungeon with my guildmates back in the day, barely managing to kill the boss after countless near-death experiences. It was so exciting!
"That felt great... that felt really great!"
Su Hao smacked his lips, savoring the peak thrill of manipulating the stock market candlestick chart with extreme micro-management.
However, while it was enjoyable, the aftereffects were far too severe.
"My head is buzzing, and it hurts so much it feels like it's going to split open!"
He grimaced, feeling a throbbing pain in his temples.
Imagine that electrifying, tingling sensation, like a jolt of pleasure that makes your scalp tingle, if it happened every few seconds, bombarding your nerves relentlessly...
Later, he felt like a rag doll that had just been pulled out of a washing machine.
Forget about picking up a water glass to drink; I can't even process the fact that I'm holding the glass in my hand. My mind is blank and I don't feel anything at all.
Even the sensation of the cool water sliding down my throat became blurry, as if through a thick layer of frosted glass.
That's not all!
His temples were throbbing and burning hot.
It's like an engine that's been overloaded to the point of bursting, as if it's about to explode on the spot at any moment. We need to give it a physical send-off!
So he decisively backed down and called a retreat.
Logically speaking, there's still some time before the market closes, so we can play a few more rounds.
But he had no doubt that if he continued to live like this, he would gloriously become the first person in the financial world to end up in the ICU because of "manipulating K-lines".
Perfect timing! Director Chang sent me a message inviting me to dinner. Looks like I need to have a good meal and replenish my energy!

Meanwhile, in another heavily guarded building, the atmosphere was completely different.
Following the stock market crash, another bombshell dropped in the international market: Greece's debt default.
The entire financial market is like a pot of boiling water, bubbling and bubbling all day long, never stopping.
That's why the Market Supervision Division is on edge more than ever right now.
The more turbulent and tense the situation, the more they need to keep their eyes wide open, guarding against any potential troublemakers.
After all, when times are tough and the harvest is bad, people are more likely to take risks and engage in shady dealings!
Like the stock price manipulation gangs in the domestic stock market at the beginning of the 21st century, which were simple, crude, and lacked any technical sophistication, they have basically disappeared under today's comprehensive financial regulatory system.
However, it's unrealistic to say that it can be completely eliminated.
But then again, if someone is really determined to cause trouble, it's not entirely impossible.
It's simply a matter of how bold you are.
Of course, this kind of "boldness" is mostly the "recklessness" of "ignorance is bliss";
It's like "You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, and you insist on venturing into the gates of hell when there are none"—it's courting death.
Back when the market was less mature, hundreds of stock price manipulation cases were investigated and dealt with every year!
shocking!
However, with the continuous improvement of regulatory laws and the sustained strengthening of crackdown efforts, this number has been reduced to around a few dozen cases.
Moreover, most of these dozens of cases did not involve very large sums of money and were unlikely to cause a significant impact.
Often, after investigation, the case is simply classified as "suspected violation of regulations," and the matter passes without any real consequences.
"But... how the hell am I supposed to interpret this report?"
Fang Jun, head of the Market Supervision Division, stared intently at the transaction records from just a few hours ago on the computer screen, his eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
The main character is a mysterious team under Fang Huan Investment.
The principal amount is exactly 250 million.
but...
