Someone is smashing the market

“B-Boss, should I ask the cleaning lady to clean up?”

Looking at Su Tang’s shy expression, Chen Xiao didn’t feel awkward at all.

“Okay.”

“Mm.”

Su Tang turned and fled the office.

Soon, the cleaning lady came in and, with just one glance, gave Chen Xiao a knowing look that only an auntie would understand.

Chen Xiao, being looked at like that by an elder, couldn’t stand it.

“Cough, cough, Auntie, please clean up first. I’ll step out for a bit.”

“Okay, Boss. Actually, it’s nothing. Auntie was young once too…”

Chen Xiao: “…”

His steps quickened as he walked out.

“Whew~~”

“Auntie is the GOAT!”

...

Chen Xiao had just taken a moment from his busy schedule to learn from Sun Ying that Xing Yanqing had arranged to meet some people for a big move, which was likely the suppression of the coal industry leader he had overheard last time.

Chen Xiao predicted that someone like Xing Yanqing would definitely collude with other capital and securities firms to maliciously suppress a stock for profit.

He estimated that this group of people had likely borrowed a significant amount of Longzhong Coal shares, sold them at a high price, crashed the market, and then bought them back at a low price, earning the difference.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao pushed open the trading room door.

“Wang Peng, from today until next Monday, keep an eye on Longzhong Coal.”

“Okay, Boss, how should I operate?”

Chen Xiao thought for a moment, “Wait for it to fall. If you find someone dumping a large amount of shares to crash the market, keep a close watch on it. Don’t let the market crashers have a chance to buy in at a low price. Build positions while pushing the price up like crazy!”

Wang Peng was stunned. It seemed the Boss had made an enemy.

“Okay, Boss.”

“Mm.” Then Chen Xiao added, “Xiao Xu, for the coal-related stock Jiutian Thermal Power, find an opportunity to build positions at a low point. If it rises tomorrow, clear your positions when the increase reaches 7.5%.”

“Understood.”

The two carefully noted their tasks and began to get busy.

...

On the other side, after Sun Ying returned to Qiankun Investment Company, Xing Yanqing complained with dissatisfaction.

“Why did it take so long?”

Sun Ying felt a bit weak in the legs and sat in a chair, saying, “I just didn’t see anything I liked, so I had to take a bit longer to choose.”

Xing Yanqing nodded and then asked, “Why is your face so red?”

Sun Ying’s heart skipped a beat, but she calmly said, “It’s all your fault! You insisted I come back quickly, and I ran all the way back. I’m exhausted!”

After speaking, she fanned herself and began rubbing her thighs.

This wasn't an act at all; she was genuinely half-dead with exhaustion.

That Chen Xiao, he never behaves himself; he always has to try new tricks.

“Hehehe, I was wrong, my dear. Let’s go quickly; my friends are getting impatient.”

“Alright, alright, let’s go.”

With that, the two left the company together. Before getting on the elevator, Sun Ying casually glanced at the opposite side, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

...

After assigning the work tasks, Chen Xiao walked out of the trading room.

The cleaning lady was still cleaning, and he hadn’t taken a good look at his company yet.

At this moment, the office supplies had already been completely refreshed.

Whether it was the carpets, the desks and chairs, or the recreational facilities, everything was first-class.

Although the entire company wasn't large, the even smaller number of people made it feel extremely spacious.

At the front desk, two beautiful sisters were wearing OL professional attire and black stockings.

Although the two looked very similar, it was clear that one had a lively personality, while the other was like an ice queen.

“Hello, Boss.”

Upon seeing Chen Xiao, the two greeted him in unison.

Chen Xiao nodded, “Hello, are you getting used to the work?”

“Yes, we like it very much here.”

“Mm, that’s good. Where’s Su Tang?”

“Oh, General Manager Su is in the dining area.”

“Okay, you two carry on.”

Chen Xiao said and walked towards the dining area.

“Wow, the Boss is so handsome, and so young too…” the more lively younger sister, Lin Yanran, said.

Lin Yanyu pulled her and said, “Don’t be a lovesick fool. This kind of rich man isn’t someone you can handle.”

Lin Yanran pouted her cute little mouth and said coquettishly, “Alright, alright, I can’t handle him, I’ll leave him for my sister.”

Lin Yanyu’s pretty face flushed slightly, “You brat, don’t talk nonsense! We are both ordinary people.”

Lin Yanran shrugged, “Tsk, we’re twins. If it really doesn’t work, we’ll team up as sisters.”

“Ah~~ Sis, I was wrong, don’t pinch…”

“Serves you right for talking nonsense.”

...

Chen Xiao came to the dining area and found Su Tang covering her small face, drinking ice water.

“Sister Dong, can I have a glass of iced lemonade?”

“Okay, Boss.”

As soon as Su Tang saw Chen Xiao, the slight flush on her face returned.

“Cough, cough, haven’t you seen it many times? What’s there to be shy about?”

Su Tang was speechless. This was in broad daylight, in the office. How could it be the same as other times?

“N-No, it’s nothing, Boss. I’ll be fine in a moment.”

Chen Xiao nodded, happily drinking his lemonade.

Although the company wasn't registered yet, he was very satisfied.

All the women were beauties, including the cleaning lady, who must have been quite something when she was young.

Just as he was thinking happily, Lin Yanyu suddenly ran over and said.

“Boss, Wang Peng is calling you.”

Chen Xiao immediately put down his cup and strode towards the trading room.

“Boss, someone is dumping Longzhong Coal at a high price.”

Chen Xiao looked at the trading data and, sure enough, the originally slowly rising trend was being suppressed.

No matter how large the trading volume, someone always dumped an equal amount of sell orders.

“Hmph! They’re trying to deplete market confidence,” Chen Xiao said.

However, now was not a good time for him to enter the market.

Chen Xiao wanted to both disrupt the opponent’s intentions and make money himself.

“That should be it, Boss.”

As expected, a large number of sell orders crashed down, leaving the market bewildered.

Longzhong Coal’s performance had been strong recently, so had something unexpected happened?

The market began to hesitate, and Longzhong Coal’s stock price entered a sideways trend.

Before long, it turned downwards.

Before the market could react, it had already fallen by 3 percentage points.

“Wang Peng, enter the market and build positions. Don’t let the market makers discover you. Be discreet.”

“Okay, Boss.”

Wang Peng began small-scale, high-frequency trading, buying only dozens or hundreds of shares at a time.

And all with odd lots, with random numbers.

After Chen Xiao entered the market, Longzhong Coal’s stock price decline began to slow down.

In a detached villa in Jinning Development Zone.

More than a dozen computers were set up in the hall.

A group of people were chatting and laughing on the sofa when someone suddenly said.

“Bosses, the resistance to crashing the market is strong. The planned funds may not be able to achieve the set target, and market sentiment is still hesitant, failing to create a follow-on effect.”

The group of people who were laughing instantly fell silent.

Xing Yanqing stood up and said, “That shouldn’t be… Market confidence should have been almost depleted by now. How could there still be such strong resilience?”

After a while, Xing Yanqing suddenly looked up, “Oh no, could it be that someone leaked the news, and other institutions found out our intentions?”
