The next day, Zhang Tianxing and others arrived at the trading hall on time. Zhang Tianxing was desperate, even skipping class for this stock.
"Boss Xiao Zhang, skipping class again?" Guo Jiajia teased, wanting to see how much Zhang Tianxing had lost in this situation.
According to her optimistic estimate, he had already lost forty percent, and it would be good to get out even at half the price.
"Alright, I'm not in the mood for class right now. This is about my next move. Things will be quite busy later, so I'll need you to help Zhao Jun, I'm afraid he'll be overwhelmed," Zhang Tianxing avoided answering Guo Jiajia's question directly.
Everyone headed to the VIP room, where operations were more convenient and the internet speed was rumored to be slightly faster.
People in the main hall started discussing. These handsome and beautiful people going to the VIP room every day, could a big market be coming?
"That Yiyi, is the market about to pick up recently? I see more people in the VIP room lately."
Huang Yiyi smiled, "Auntie, it's hard to say. This is a bottoming-out phase. We can only trade in waves. Investing can't be rushed. Wealth doesn't come quickly."
"Yiyi's skills are indeed high, and her words are clear and thorough." The old lady left contentedly.
"How was it, Auntie Sun? Yiyi is your closest friend, did she reveal any inside information?"
"Exactly, even a little news from the top brass of the securities firm would be enough for us to feast. Auntie Sun, we are all sisters who have gone through hardships together, you can't keep it to yourself, it's bad karma to hoard secrets."
"Alright, you all know my temper. If there's any good news, I'll definitely include you."
"I feel the market is about to arrive. The more VIP room clients there are, the more wealthy people there are. The more wealthy people there are, it proves the stock market is booming. As long as there's money, stocks can be pushed up."
"The stock market is now saying Fuzhou Machinery has a problem. I wonder if these six consecutive limit downs can be broken."
"What's the point of worrying about that? That's B shares and has nothing to do with us common folk."
"I was just saying, just joining in the fun."
In the VIP room, Zhao Jun was highly nervous, his hands sweating. There was no way, the pressure today was too great.
According to predictions, someone would break the limit down board in the next day or two.
...
Fuzhou Machinery Chairman's Office.
Li Ming said solemnly, "Success or failure hinges on this. They are absolutely not allowed to open the limit down today. If they do, use large orders to push it back down!"
"Gao Lili, prepare the announcement, ready to release it at any time, or you can post a question on the company website first, and have the board secretary answer."
Gao Lili responded, sighing inwardly for the shareholders of Fuzhou Machinery.
Shareholders suffer, shareholders are tired. It seems Fuzhou Machinery won't be finished until shareholders cut their losses. They'd rather go bankrupt and delist than let the other party be liquidated.
How much hatred and resentment could this be?
The market was about to open, and the trader was watching. "Chairman Li, the limit down is opening today, with 800,000 hands locked on the limit down board."
Li Ming smiled, "We're safe today. With 800,000 hands locked, I'd like to see who has the strength to break this board."
...
Zhang Tianxing suddenly said, "Senior Zhao, place our sell orders around the break-even point."
Hearing this, Zhao Jun was stunned. "President Xiao Zhang, there are 800,000 hands locked on the limit down board. If we place orders at break-even, we won't be able to sell. There are very few buy orders now, only scattered retail investors."
"Don't ask, just operate," Zhang Tianxing said sternly.
Now, he could only leverage the fact that Fuzhou Machinery had become the focus of many speculative funds. As long as someone broke the limit down, they would rush in like crocodiles hunting, and as soon as they smelled blood, they would follow suit.
Zhao Jun nodded. It wasn't his money anyway; he was just an emotionless trader.
Following Zhang Tianxing's order, he placed the Fuzhou Machinery stock.
Guo Jiajia opened her mouth and sighed. With 800,000 hands locked on the limit down board, no matter what price she placed the order at, she wouldn't be able to sell.
Why was she so unlucky? She thought she had found a rising star in the investment world.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a novice among stock market novices, what kind of operation was this?
"Boss Xiao Zhang, if it doesn't work, let's spend money to find someone. It's okay, I'll find someone for you. I promise they are reliable and expert." Guo Jiajia persuaded.
"Bring up your suggestion after the market closes," Zhang Tianxing said, his eyes fixed on the computer screen.
Fuzhou Machinery's trading volume had been in the single digits, all retail investors.
After about three minutes, finally, buy orders of ten or twenty hands rushed in.
Zhang Tianxing immediately said, "Now, follow up with large orders of 999 hands, 9,999 hands, and 99,999 hands. We will be the vanguard to break the limit down!"
"Will anyone follow us?" This question flashed through Zhao Jun's mind.
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's command, Zhao Jun was stunned and then began operating on the computer.
"Quickly, I want to break the limit down within twenty seconds!"
"Boss Xiao Zhang, should we withdraw our sell orders?"
"No!"
At this moment, Fuzhou Machinery's trading volume rapidly increased, and large orders poured in.
A bullish candle with high volume surged upwards.
Zhao Jun operated while pleading, hoping they weren't the only ones fighting. If their funds ran out, they wouldn't be able to break the limit down.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
A series of buy orders flooded in. In just ten seconds, the limit down was broken, and the stock price soared.
Guo Jiajia laughed, "Boss Xiao Zhang, you're amazing! You led the way, how did you know someone would follow?"
Zhang Tianxing didn't reply, staring intently at the screen. The outcome was not yet decided. Chen Zhilong wouldn't let him cut his losses at this price, Zhang Tianxing knew very well.
Zhao Jun was dumbfounded. What was going on? The funds he used were only tens of millions, but the locked volume was billions.
The stock price continued to rise. Zhao Jun hurriedly asked, "Should we withdraw our orders? It looks like we'll hit the limit up today, and Fuzhou Machinery's momentum will be established."
Everyone was excited. They had fired the first shot. If it hit the limit up, they would have made a twenty-two percent profit today.
Zhang Tianxing shook his head, not speaking. Two million hands of limit down sell orders were thrown out, once again pressing the limit down firmly.
"What is going on?" Everyone was dumbfounded. If Zhang Tianxing hadn't set up sell orders in advance, they wouldn't have had a chance to act.
Instantly, there were millions of hands locked on the limit down board. Zhao Jun's face turned grim.
The situation was clear now: the funds that participated in breaking the limit down earlier were all gone!
This market maker was about to trap everyone again.
