Chapter 127

In the VIP room of Xingcheng Securities, Wang Yichen, furious, pressed Ma Chaoyun to the floor and stomped on him wildly.

"You useless piece of trash, this morning I wanted to liquidate my Xingcheng Heavy Industry position to set up a new Xinfei Technology layout. You insisted on blocking me, saying Xingcheng Heavy Industry would still surge and Xinfei Technology was as stable as Mount Tai. Now look, both Xingcheng Heavy Industry and Xinfei Technology have fallen together, and I'm stuck on both sides!"

Ma Chaoyun had his hands and feet held by Wang Yichen's bodyguards; he couldn't run, so he endured the pain and begged for mercy. "General Manager Wang, I was wrong. I was also trying to help you make more money. All the indicators for Xingcheng Heavy Industry are steadily rising; technically, it's guaranteed to go up. I never expected institutions to suddenly dump the market..."

Hearing him talk about technology made Wang Yichen even angrier; he kicked him twice more. "You still have the nerve to talk technology to me? When has your damn technology ever passed approval?"

Ma Chaoyun had no words for his bitterness. This morning's indicators were clearly favorable for Xingcheng Heavy Industry and Xinfei Technology. Xingcheng Heavy Industry hit the limit up, and Xinfei Technology not only stopped falling but even bounced slightly. How could things change so drastically in the time it takes to eat lunch...

What struck him as odd was that the overall market movement wasn't large, yet at least half of the major funds flowing in and out were on these two stocks—Xingcheng Heavy Industry and Xinfei Technology. It seemed as if someone was deliberately targeting him. No, it was probably targeting Wang Yichen.

"General Manager Wang, could Chen Yang be behind this?" Only Chen Yang could cause both Xingcheng Heavy Industry and Xinfei Technology to malfunction, Ma Chaoyun thought.

Wang Yichen glanced around the VIP room—no sign of Chen Yang. He then kicked him two more times, cursing: "You damn well just know how to make excuses. That Chen guy didn't even show up today!"

Ma Chaoyun couldn't bear the kicking any longer and could only keep wailing.

At that moment, Qi Yunxiang entered with Xingcheng Securities security guards. He advised Wang Yichen: "General Manager Wang, this is a public place; please don't make things difficult for us."

Although Wang Yichen's anger hadn't subsided, he was still willing to give Qi Yunxiang face, and immediately ordered Ma Chaoyun to be released. Still, he couldn't help complaining to Qi Yunxiang: "General Manager Qi, look at the lousy consultant you introduced me to—none of his predictions have been accurate. In just a few days, I've lost 13 million!"

Qi Yunxiang gave Ma Chaoyun a sympathetic glance; ever since he feuded with Chen Yang, his luck has been terrible. But having worked with Ma Chaoyun for years, he still acknowledges his ability.

"General Manager Wang, although Ma Chaoyun is no longer our employee, I still recognize his ability. He used to help you make a lot of money, didn't he?"

Wang Yichen fell silent at once. Qi Yunxiang was right—Ma Chaoyun had indeed helped him earn a lot of money before. But those gains were wiped out in just a few days; it was as if he'd earned nothing.

Qi Yunxiang added: "I've already examined our company's big data analysis. The biggest fund flows for Xingcheng Heavy Industry and Xinfei Technology are both in Xingcheng—one is our company, the other is Dongjiang Securities. General Manager Wang, you should consider whether you have enemies at Dongjiang Securities."

Wang Yichen shook his head; he hadn't offended anyone recently. If there were an enemy, it would be Chen Yang alone. After all, he had wronged Shen Anna, and she likely had Chen Yang help her take revenge.

"Chen Yang didn't come today—could he have gotten someone from Dongjiang Securities to do it?"

Qi Yunxiang immediately rejected Wang Yichen's guess: "Chen Yang's funds are all at Xingcheng Securities, and his account had transactions today, so it's unlikely."

Upon hearing that Chen Yang also had trades, Wang Yichen couldn't help asking: "Which stock did Chen Yang buy?"

Qi Yunxiang shook his head and refused: "Sorry, that's client privacy; I can't disclose it."

Wang Yichen then shifted his gaze to Ma Chaoyun: "Hey Ma, hurry up and analyze Chen Yang's stock trading movements. If I don't get a satisfactory answer within half an hour, you can go take a bath in the Dongjiang River!"

Ma Chaoyun, who can't swim, panicked and begged Wang Yichen: "General Manager Wang, user transaction records are confidential; only senior company staff know them. I'm no longer an employee of Xingcheng Securities—I really can't help!"

Wang Yichen's face turned ashen. Previously, Ma Chaoyun was a senior consultant at Xingcheng Securities and could access some internal private data. Now that he's resigned, Qi Yunxiang immediately went by the book. Sure enough, when the person leaves, the tea grows cold.

"General Manager Qi, does your company still have any high-level consultants? Could you introduce one to me?"

Qi Yunxiang smiled: "Our company still has a few consultants with solid skills. I'll have someone send their files over to you later."

Wang Yichen nodded, kicked Ma Chaoyun once more, then left with his bodyguards.

Ma Chaoyun watched Wang Yichen's retreating back, his heart turning cold as water. Having just lost his job and his backing, his prospects in Xingcheng were utterly ruined.

"Old Ma, you should still change your environment!" Qi Yunxiang patted Ma Chaoyun's shoulder; as an old subordinate, seeing him fall to this state made him feel somewhat unwilling.

Ma Chaoyun leaned heavily against the wall of the VIP room, his face blank and helpless. All his life he's known nothing but stock trading; what else could he do if he changed environments?

If he knew this would be the outcome, he'd rather die than spread Su Mingyue's "Yellow Rumor".

Meanwhile, over at Dongjiang Securities, Yexin, Zhuo Wenyuan, Huang BaiMing, and Zhao Feiyang were exchanging celebratory high-fives. The successful shipment of Xingcheng Heavy Industry had filled their pockets to overflowing. The only blemish was that Xinfei Technology had fallen again, causing them a small loss.

However, that doesn't matter. They still hold the chips to hype Xinfei Technology. Tomorrow, after dumping the remaining Xingcheng Heavy Industry chips, they can operate on Xinfei Technology with peace of mind.

Chen Yang, because of Su Mingyue's covert manipulation, also earned quite a bit today. However, he did not share this good news with Yexin and them. Because he knows, that will only invite contempt.

From Chen Yang's perspective, he prefers to make money quietly. Like Yexin and them's way of banding together to charge forward, although it feels great and exciting, it also carries significant risk. On one hand, large amounts of funds moving quickly in and out are prone to losing control, violating regulations, and being supervised by the authorities above. At the same time, they will also attract the attention of larger operators, becoming lambs to the slaughter.

As a visionary, Chen Yang has seen the ups and downs of many hot-money big players. For unfamiliar stocks, even if there is capital banding together, he dares not take the risk. For example, with Xinfei Technology, he has no intention of banding together with Yexin and them.

The one million shares of Xinfei Technology that Su Mingyue bought at a low price, Chen Yang decides to first observe. If tomorrow the stock continues to fall, he will add to his position. If it is pumped up to the limit-up by Yexin and them, he will unhesitatingly sell off.
