Chapter 66: Squeezing water out of the desert!
The subsequent meeting did not uncover any good trading opportunities.
Because the market remains stagnant, with volatility so low it's like a tortoise crawling, and nobody knows how long this messed-up market will last.
The new employees, on the other hand, put in their best efforts, racking their brains and offering a cacophony of opinions.
But to be honest, his skill level is just so-so.
It has no major flaws, but it's not particularly amazing either.
However, it's clear that they really tried their best, wanting to make a good impression on the new leader and contribute their share to the team.
"Alright everyone, warm-up's over, let's get to work!"
After the meeting concluded, Su Hao gave the order, and the intense, smoke-filled battle officially began!
However, when everyone returned to their workstations and opened their trading software, they were all stunned.
The trading interface in front of them was completely different from what they usually did in the A-share market.
The interface of foreign exchange trading is filled with all sorts of unfamiliar charts, data, and buttons, making it dazzling and confusing with various currency pairs.
This is a financial slaughterhouse that operates 24/7, is the world's largest, has the highest liquidity, and can be described as a "perpetual motion machine"!
Throwing a huge sum of 5 billion yuan into this bottomless ocean, while it might not leave no ripples, it certainly wouldn't create any significant waves either.
The real problem is that this market is already frustratingly volatile enough on a normal day, but in this special period of global economic downturn, the volatility has dropped to an outrageous level!
Of course, with a principal of 5 billion, even if you only earn 1% a day, that's still a net profit of 50 million!
The amount of money they're making is worlds apart from what it used to be; just thinking about it is exhilarating!
Conversely, if you're unlucky and lose 1%, that's still 50 million in silver going down the drain without a trace!
This is a chaotic scene where tens of millions of dollars can be spent at any time, and a luxury mansion can evaporate every second, making one's heart race.
This group of new recruits felt their palms sweating and their legs trembling!
" Li Huilin," Su Hao's voice suddenly rang out, clear and calm, breaking the silence in the office.
"First, you need to establish a position in US dollars for me. The position size... is around one billion!"
"Ah? Oh! Yes! President Su!"
Li Huilin jolted awake, her fingers nearly slipping from the keyboard, almost dropping the mouse, and frantically began to operate the keyboard.
Without even an adjustment period or a buffer time, Su Hao's orders came raining down like a machine gun.
Starting with Li Huilin, others also received instructions one after another. Su Hao directed his subordinates to invest a certain amount of funds into the foreign exchange currencies they were responsible for.
'Judging from this... President Su is planning to... hold a large position and then sit back and wait for the value to appreciate?' Li Huilin wondered to herself.
No, that doesn't seem right! Absolutely not!
Based on her understanding of Su Hao, this prodigy, once he starts trading, unless the sun rises in the west, he will never hold onto a single order for long; that's an old lady's way of doing things!
His style has always been fast, accurate, and ruthless!
Just as expected!
" Li Huilin, sell and close the position!"
A short while later, Su Hao's emotionless voice rang out again.
"Yes, Mr. Su!"
The entire "Top-Tier Investment Department" office was currently displaying a strange yet highly efficient scene:
Aside from Su Hao's calm, almost cold, commanding voice, all that could be heard were the employees' rhythmic, uniform responses of "Yes!", "Understood!", and "Received!"
Apart from that, there was not a single other noise.
"..."
Time passed by, second by second, and I don't know how much time had gone by.
The central air conditioning in the office was running like it was free, with cold air blowing out loudly.
But everyone's head was covered in sweat, and their clothes on the back were already soaked through.
Everyone's nerves were on edge, and all attention was fixed on Su Hao's voice, which sounded like a death knell.
Was this move a profit or a loss?
Approximately how much profit did we make? And how much did we lose?
The specifics are naturally unknown to these "tools".
But one thing is clear to everyone—
What their CEO, Mr. Su, is doing right now is to forcefully... in this stagnant market where there is almost no fluctuation.
Squeezing out the last drop of moisture from a sponge that was as dry as it could possibly be!
That's right, it's squeezing!
Scrape oil off mosquito legs!
Squeezing water out of the cracks in the rocks!
And this is happening in this damn, almost completely volatile "zombie market"!
This is practically going against the entire market environment!
This is defying the heavens!

"Ah, um... hello everyone!"
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open.
The ten new faces that Su Hao mentioned before, who "only come to work at night," walked in looking completely bewildered, like a group of Tang Sanzang who had mistakenly entered the Spider Cave.
Upon seeing them, Su Hao's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, and he greeted them warmly:
"Oh, everyone's here? Please come in!"
Quickly, everyone to your positions, find your seats, get into battle mode, and prepare to take over and begin trading!
As for the others…
He paused, then changed the subject, his gaze sweeping over the "day shift" members who had been fighting for hours and were now exhausted, with dark circles under their eyes, as if their energy had been drained.
"...You can all get ready to go home now! Everyone worked hard today, and you all did a fantastic job! Go back and get some rest, and let's keep fighting tomorrow!"
"Ah...yes! President Su!"
The "day shift" members felt like they'd been granted a pardon. One by one, they dragged their exhausted bodies, glanced at the ten energetic, clueless newcomers with complicated expressions, and silently packed their things.
The ten new employees looked at the team members before them—emaciated, seemingly just withdrawn from the Iraq War, their souls drained...
They all wore complicated expressions, looking at each other with confusion and bewilderment, as if they were seeing an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway.
But the "day shift" members all knew in their hearts that these kids would soon understand.
A sudden "buzz" went through Li Huilin's mind, like a bolt of lightning striking her! She finally understood!
'So the reason for having these ten people come at night was to have them work in two shifts, 24 hours a day!'
They were determined to stir up this stagnant pool into a raging storm!
This isn't just squeezing a sponge dry; it's practically squeezing water out of the Sahara Desert!
This is hardly a "top-tier investment department" at all.
This is clearly a "human limit training camp"!
A thought quietly arose in Li Huilin's mind.
'Then... what about President Su himself? When does he take a break?'
She subconsciously glanced up and stole a look at Su Hao not far away.
The "day shift" members were mostly in a state of limbo, half-dead.
However...
Su Hao's excessively young face showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, his eyes shone brightly with an almost manic excitement!
A faint smile even played at the corners of his mouth, and his whole being exuded an indescribable, almost eerie, vigorous energy!
Like a shark that has smelled blood, it has finally waited for the moment to feast!
