Li Ming smashed his cups directly in his office. The two traders glanced at the furious Li Ming. They hadn't even started speaking.
"Get out, both of you. You asked for a lot of money, and I gave it to you without withholding a single cent. As a result, you've only managed a limit-up. Are you sure you weren't sent by monkeys to make a fool of me?" Li Ming's voice was somewhat hysterical as he let out a wild roar.
"Chairman Li, this wasn't our intention either. We are merely following the market. The market trend is irreversible," the traders tried to persuade Li Ming earnestly. It wasn't that their skills were inadequate, but the upward trend of Fuzhou Machinery was determined by the collective forces of the market.
"There's one more thing. The market hasn't closed yet. If you're sure you don't need us anymore, and you're certain, we'll leave with the money without a word."
Hearing this, Li Ming calmed down. "Tell me honestly, can this limit-up still be broken now?"
The two of them shook their heads in unison. "That's very difficult, Chairman Li. Look, at this limit-up price, thirty billion yuan has already been transacted. The willingness to hold this position is very strong. We can't break it."
Upon hearing their words, Li Ming finally calmed down. He picked up the phone. "Have the cleaning staff come and tidy up the chairman's office!"
"Gao Lili? Come to my office!"
After finishing this, Li Ming faced the two traders. "I lost my temper just now, and I apologize for the display. This battle isn't over yet, and we still need to discuss follow-up matters."
At that moment, Gao Lili knocked and entered. "Chairman Li, what do you need? Please instruct me!"
Li Ming's furious expression was gone, replaced by a gentle one.
"It's like this, Lili. Has the announcement I gave you been sent out yet?"
"Chairman Li, I've already sent it out. It was just sent moments ago," Gao Lili answered directly, relieved that she had acted quickly this time.
Seeing Li Ming's erratic mood these past few days, he had already made several people in the company cry. She certainly didn't want to end up like them.
Upon hearing Gao Lili's answer, Li Ming's vision went black, and he almost fainted.
"Why didn't you consult me before sending it? Why were you so quick this time?" Li Ming couldn't control the anger surging within him. He was about to erupt.
Hearing Li Ming's scolding, Gao Lili's vision went black. It was over; this wasn't the end of it.
"I saw that Fuzhou Machinery's stock had opened from a limit-down, and I remembered what you said, that there would be three more limit-downs. So, I prepared the announcement and sent it out," Gao Lili said aggrievedly. This job was impossible; no matter what she did, it was wrong. Even completing the boss's pre-arranged tasks was wrong.
It must be that God was jealous of her beauty, which was why she was facing this string of devastating blows.
Women fear marrying the wrong man, and men fear entering the wrong profession. This saying also applied to women. Gao Lili now harbored thoughts of changing her job.
"Can the announcement be changed?" Li Ming pressed. The situation had changed. He had new ideas now.
"There's no way. To make changes, we need to submit amendment documents to the Securities Regulatory Commission. How can this plan of yours to reduce holdings be changed?" Gao Lili directly rejected Li Ming's suggestion.
If she were to follow Li Ming's instructions and make changes, Gao Lili's fate would be obvious. Gao Lili was a woman blessed with both intelligence and beauty.
Hearing Gao Lili's words, Li Ming sighed. "Notify everyone. We will hold a board meeting after the market closes this afternoon."
...
Huang Yiyi arrived at the VIP room to see if Zhang Tianxing and the others needed any services.
She overheard Zhao Jun speaking enthusiastically. "Boss Zhang, you were brilliant today. Yesterday, you made a 10% profit, and today it's 22%. Such results are unbelievable anywhere. Why don't you establish a private equity fund? I'll be your trader. We'll rake in management fees until our hands are sore. No one can match these results."
"Oh, please. It's just good luck. What the—Fuzhou Machinery has issued an announcement."
Zhang Tianxing clicked to open the announcement. It was about Li Ming, the largest shareholder of Fuzhou Machinery, reducing his holdings.
"It seems they're out of options and have resorted to this," Zhang Tianxing chuckled upon seeing this and said to the people around him.
"Boss Zhang, it's a miracle you can still laugh. This is a definite major piece of bad news. Tomorrow, it might open at a limit-down again..."
"Huh? Manager Huang, why are you here? Is there anything you need?" Zhang Tianxing turned to see Huang Yiyi standing there with a smile.
"I'm just a little curious. Mr. Zhang, I've never seen your trading methods before. There are almost no others like you." Huang Yiyi's words seemed to carry a hidden meaning.
"That's not right, Manager Huang. Look at Boss Zhang's track record. These are clearly results that crush all traders!" Zhao Jun said indignantly.
Zhang Tianxing waved his hand, stopping Zhao Jun from continuing, and turned to Huang Yiyi. "Thank you for your guidance, Manager Huang. I know where my shortcomings lie. I was forced to come here. I am just a businessman engaged in the real economy."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Huang Yiyi's opinion of him rose. This Boss Zhang seemed quite decent. "I'm just an outsider, speaking carelessly. Boss Zhang, please don't take it to heart." With that, Huang Yiyi turned and walked away.
Guo Jiajia couldn't help but silently complain, *Boss Zhang, how dare you call yourself engaged in the real economy? Have you forgotten about your Tianxing Investment Company?*
Zhao Jun asked, somewhat confused, "Why? Boss Zhang, in my opinion, your operations are textbook perfect. Why would Manager Huang look down on you, and why do you feel she has a point?"
"It's about chips, isn't it? Every operation we make causes changes in the chip peaks, especially when our trading volume is large. Think about it, if you were a major player in a stock, and someone wanted to join your ride, would you let them make money with you?" Zhang Tianxing reached for an orange, popped it into his mouth, and said while eating.
Upon hearing Zhang Tianxing's words, Zhao Jun suddenly understood. In the market, one must go with the flow. Always trying to maximize profits is impossible. Zhang Tianxing's actions in these two instances were risky gambles, but they happened to be successful.
"Boss Zhang, you truly are something. After hearing your words, I feel like I understand much more. But why do you say that Fuzhou Machinery's bad news won't affect the subsequent trend?" Zhao Jun asked, scratching his head in confusion.
