He needed a strategist, a handler, to help him.
Zhang Tianxing went through potential candidates in his mind, and Zhao Jun's name surfaced.
Acting on the thought, he called Zhao Jun: "Senior Zhao, are you free recently? I need your help. I need a handler, are you interested?"
Zhang Tianxing stated his intention directly, getting straight to the point. Upon hearing Zhang Tianxing's question, Zhao Jun was stunned.
He was currently in an internship period and hadn't found a suitable placement yet.
He didn't want to settle for mediocre positions, and the good ones were beyond his reach – such was his unfortunate situation.
He considered himself a trading genius from Zhonghai University and yearned to experience real trading.
However, the jobs offered low salaries with excessive demands.
This had infuriated Zhao Jun. He was contemplating becoming a small-time speculator himself.
After all, his current research focus was on ultra-short-term trading, and he was pondering this when Zhang Tianxing extended an olive branch.
"A handler? Okay, no problem. I was looking for a handler position. Whether I get an internship certificate is irrelevant; I want to do real trading, not machine simulations, because I've already simulated countless times in college."
Zhao Jun complained to Zhang Tianxing, who was aware of Zhao Jun's capabilities.
"Alright, no problem. However, I have one requirement: regardless of whether my decisions are right or wrong, you must execute them," Zhang Tianxing said seriously.
"Okay, you're the boss, you call the shots," Zhao Jun replied with a smile. Zhang Tianxing was a well-known figure in the school, rumored to be wealthy. It was obvious he wouldn't be trading small sums.
While Zhang Tianxing was busy, the two beauties, Yan Ruyu and Guo Jiajia, arrived.
"Boss Xiao Zhang, are you very busy lately? Besides making me transfer money, what else have you been doing? You've emptied the company's accounts, do you know that? I've identified several investment projects, but I don't have the funds. If this continues, what's the point of running this investment company?" Guo Jiajia launched into her accusations.
Here comes that act again. However, last time Wu Shengnan had scolded him over the phone. How could a man fall for the same trick twice?
Zhang Tianxing waved his hand, interrupting Guo Jiajia's speech: "General Manager Guo, I'd like to invite you to participate in a B-share project. We'll be handling a batch of B-share stocks."
"You're asking me to participate in such a trivial matter? Just list them and sell them!" Guo Jiajia was almost driven to death.
She could just go to a brokerage, or open a computer and trade online.
Zhang Tianxing chuckled, "The main reason is that the amount is quite large, and a brokerage wouldn't be convenient."
"How much can it be? Look at you, Boss Xiao Zhang, you've gotten too big for your boots. I've seen people much richer than you, and they haven't mentioned having so many stock accounts," Guo Jiajia retorted. This Boss Xiao Zhang seemed to be declining; he had overused his brain recently and had become foolish.
Her life was so bitter, to have encountered such a boss. She was torn between staying and leaving.
Seeing Guo Jiajia's disdainful expression, Zhang Tianxing directly displayed his account balance.
This number startled Guo Jiajia. "My goodness, how much is that? Over a hundred million. Am I seeing things?"
When did this somewhat handsome boss become so rich? This was impossible.
This was simply a case of handsomeness taking an unconventional path, always surprising people.
This completely exceeded her imagination. She had expected at most a few million or tens of millions, which wouldn't be a big deal.
Who would have thought there would be two extra zeros?
This figure made Guo Jiajia submit. She had to be present for this. At the very least, she was a cheerleader.
"Boss Xiao Zhang, when will you include me? Let me expand my horizons. Anyway, there aren't many good projects for the investment company right now." As a qualified investor, it was better to miss an opportunity than to invest wrongly.
Because an investor wouldn't have too many investment opportunities in their lifetime, the approach of casting a wide net wouldn't work in the investment world; this was a winner-take-all industry.
"Soon. Because these companies have submitted applications for suspension of trading, and the resumption of trading is estimated to be about a month away. That's enough time for us to prepare." This was indeed a good time.
The suspension gave Zhang Tianxing an opportunity to understand the market and time to prepare.
...
Chen Sancang immediately learned that Tofsky had transferred the China B-share stocks to Zhang Tianxing, and he was overjoyed.
"Brother Long, good news! That Zhang Tianxing took the bait. Tofsky really transferred those stocks to Zhang Tianxing. We can openly deal with him now."
Chen Zhilong burst into laughter. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Zhang Tianxing, you rejected me, and I'll make you pay the price.
"Sancang, notify those companies to resume trading as soon as possible. Then we'll hit them with a few more limit-downs," Chen Zhilong set the tone.
"Brother Long, if we do that, the listed companies might have complaints. Hitting them with a few more limit-downs will increase their costs slightly."
"Do it if you can, if not, I won't force you. I'll just find someone else to do it," Chen Zhilong said coldly, his face full of displeasure.
Did someone really not understand the situation and dare to disobey his will?
Chen Sancang let out a sigh of relief, "Brother Long, no problem. If they refuse, we'll replace them. Everything is under your control."
After speaking, Chen Sancang prepared to leave to assign tasks.
Chen Zhilong added, "Oh, and don't make it easy for Zhang Tianxing. Casually spread the word to the banking system to grant Zhang Tianxing loans. This time, I want to make it impossible for Zhang Tianxing to recover."
Got it. Chen Sancang understood. This was about making Zhang Tianxing play big, preferably with leverage, and then having Zhang Tianxing suffer a huge loss.
They wanted to wipe him out in one go, thus fulfilling Chen Zhilong's wish.
Understood. This small matter would be handled by Chen Sancang in minutes, it was just a phone call.
At this moment, Huang Yuanshan, who had received the call, was in a difficult position. On one hand, he had his old leader, and on the other, his close junior friend, Zhang Tianxing.
Both were outstanding individuals. Huang Yuanshan clearly understood his old leader's intentions.
To have him grant Zhang Tianxing loans, at least a hundred million in foreign exchange. Huang Yuanshan had no idea what they intended to do. However, Huang Yuanshan knew clearly that if he didn't do it, some people within the banking system would.
So, it was better for him to handle this loan. At least he would have some room to maneuver and wouldn't let Zhang Tianxing suffer losses, although he was powerless when it came to Zhang Tianxing's business matters.
