Chapter 121

Wang Yichen scolded for two hours and still wasn't satisfied; he also summoned Ma Chaoyun to his side and gave him a beating. While beating him, he also cursed:

"You idiot, still an expert, just keep recommending junk stocks to me. Five minutes, just five fucking minutes, my account lost over ten million."

"General Manager Wang, this this can't be blamed on me; I also didn't know the Liu Clan Group would suddenly release that news." Ma Chaoyun has been incredibly unlucky these past few days—he not only lost his job, but Wang Yichen also caught him and beat and scolded him.

Wang Yichen kicked Ma Chaoyun hard again and angrily shouted: "You fucking expert who grew up eating shit? So many big players are dumping shares; there must be insider news—why didn't you warn me?"

Ma Chaoyun felt very wronged; he doesn't have heavenly eyes, so how could he discern insider information? But he didn't dare say such things to Wang Yichen's face, fearing another beating. So he had a sudden idea and shifted the hatred onto Chen Yang.

"General Manager Wang, normally I would have long advised you to sell the stocks. But you're betting with the Chen guy; even if I gave a warning, you might not listen."

"Who says I won't listen? Does betting matter more than making money?" Wang Yichen's expression eased a little. Ma Chaoyun is right; he relaxed his guard on the stock market because he was betting with Chen Yang. Normally he would at least sell half first. This Chen Yang is really a hateful bastard.

Ma Chaoyun saw the hatred shift succeed and immediately came up with another good idea to deal with Chen Yang: "General Manager Wang, why don't we also go annoy the Chen guy and dump the Xingcheng Heavy Industry shares?"

Wang Yichen looked at Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock price; it had already hit the limit up at twenty yuan three jiao five fen. Chen Yang's purchase price was eighteen yuan. And his purchase price for Xinfei Technology was thirty-two yuan.

Tomorrow is the last day of the bet deadline. If he doesn't dump Xingcheng Heavy Industry, even if Xinfei Technology hits limit up, he cannot complete the comeback.

So, Wang Yichen decided to accept Ma Chaoyun's suggestion and gamble again.

The next day, Wang Yichen early brought Ma Chaoyun to the Xingcheng Heavy Industry's large client room. He first found the CEO of Xingcheng Securities, Qi Yunxiang.

"CEO Qi, does your company hold any Xingcheng Heavy Industry shares?"

"There are two million circulating shares." Qi Yunxiang immediately understood Wang Yichen's intention; he firmly said: "If General Manager Wang wants to dump the shares, I'm sorry I cannot cooperate."

Wang Yichen said: "I can add ten points to buy them."

Qi Yunxiang still shook his head. On one hand, manipulating stock prices is illegal, and it's ruining his own rice bowl. On the other hand, he also doesn't want to offend Chen Yang and Liu Shijie for Wang Yichen's sake.

Xinfei Technology's limit up‑limit down yesterday was clearly Chen Yang's doing. Being able to unite so many retail funds to collectively dump shares, then have the Liu Clan Group cooperate to snipe—how strong the forces behind Chen Yang are, Qi Yunxiang really can't imagine. If he must choose, he would rather offend Wang Yichen.

Wang Yichen not giving up, he said again: "CEO Qi, just list the Xingcheng Heavy Industry shares at the limit‑up price for sale; I'll buy them through normal procedure. How many I get is up to fate. Is that okay?"

Qi Yunxiang still chose to refuse. He knows Chen Yang will definitely not sell today, and Xingcheng Heavy Industry's shares will certainly keep rising. In this situation, a single limit‑up board is not enough to move him.

Wang Yichen gritted his teeth, extended a finger to Qi Yunxiang and said: "I'll give another ten million as compensation!"

Qi Yunxiang didn't expect Wang Yichen to be so generous; he immediately agreed. "General Manager Wang, let me make this clear first: the company's shares are being sold via normal orders. If you don't get any, or get less, the company bears no responsibility."

Wang Yichen nodded. He didn't actually plan to buy those shares. As long as Qi Yunxiang drives the price down, he'll place a low buy order, and naturally retail investors will take the bait.

Not long after the two reached an agreement, Chen Yang and Su Mingyue also arrived.

Chen Yang saw Ma Chaoyun still there, a bit unhappy. "CEO Qi, didn't you say you would seriously deal with the responsible person? Why is this Ma guy still here?"

Qi Yunxiang hurriedly explained: "General Manager Chen, Ma Chaoyun is now Wang Yichen's personal consultant and has no relation to our company."

Chen Yang immediately gave Wang Yichen a thumbs up, praising him: "General Manager Wang, truly loyal! Even though the stocks have hit limit down, you still stick by your strategist."

Wang Yichen pretended not to see Chen Yang, and called Ma Chaoyun to the cubicle at the corner to manipulate the stock bidding.

Chen Yang, having nothing to do, quietly followed behind them.

"Chen Yang, why are you following me?"

"I want to see how you make Xinfei Technology bounce back from the brink!"

"This is the large client room; I have privacy. If you keep following me, believe it or not I'll call security!"

"Come on, you have the nerve to mention privacy? That day when I was buying stocks, your dog stared for several hours."

"No way, I don't care about others; anyway I didn't see."

Seeing Wang Yichen's firm attitude, Chen Yang could only give up the idea of monitoring his stock manipulation. However, his gut told him these two guys definitely had no good intentions.

He had Su Mingyue monitor Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock situation, then went to Qi Yunxiang's office.

Qi Yunxiang saw Chen Yang coming, had no intention to hide, and directly said: "The company plans to sell its two million circulating shares of Xingcheng Heavy Industry. General Manager Chen and your friends, if you're also interested, welcome to take them over."

Chen Yang immediately understood; it turned out Wang Yichen was secretly plotting against him. "What price?"

Qi Yunxiang replied: "The company will sell its held shares at twenty‑two yuan three jiao nine fen."

Upon hearing that Xingcheng Securities would sell its held Xingcheng Heavy Industry shares at the limit‑up price, Chen Yang felt relieved. Although this operation would slightly affect the stock price trend, it wouldn't cause panic.

After leaving Qi Yunxiang's office, he immediately called Yexin, telling her both that Wang Yichen was plotting mischief and that Xingcheng Heavy Industry was preparing to sell its held two million shares.

After that, Chen Yang returned to the large client room to watch Xingcheng Heavy Industry's trading situation. He saw that the trading column indeed had a large number of limit‑up sell orders. Also there were many large buy orders at around twenty‑two yuan three jiao five fen.

However, after the market opened, Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock still hit limit up directly. Xingcheng Securities' sell orders attracted no interest, and Wang Yichen's buy orders were ignored.

Chen Yang knew this was only surface calm; many were still doing psychological struggle. Those wanting to enter the market were hesitating whether to take over Xingcheng Securities' order at a high position, while those wanting to exit were worried they had sold low and missed out on their quality shares.

This calm continued until the morning close. Wang Yichen didn't buy a single share of Xingcheng Heavy Industry's stock. No one paid attention to Xingcheng Securities' sell orders. Meanwhile, Xingcheng Heavy Industry's share price, because some retail investors were trading in and out, kept hovering between 22.3 and 22.39.

This stalemate made Xingcheng Securities' CEO Qi Yunxiang unable to sit still. He felt played by Wang Yichen, and in anger directly ordered the cancellation of the pending order.
