Chapter 189: Zhuo Wenyuan's Little Scheme

In the spacious and luxurious large client room of Dongjiang Securities, Zhang Jun stared intently at the computer screen, his eyes excitedly watching the soaring trend chart of Little Goose Shares' stock.

Just as he was happily expecting this stock to skyrocket, suddenly, the previously soaring stock price seemed to be chopped off at the waist by an invisible giant hand; the upward momentum halted abruptly, then it plummeted rapidly, falling from 19.2 to 18.5.

Seeing this, Zhang Jun's face turned livid, veins bulging on his forehead, and he couldn't help but curse at the computer screen: "Which son of a bitch! Haven't you seen money before? Can't you wait a bit, wait until it hits the limit up before selling? You're just an idiot, damn fool!" As he swore, he slammed the table hard, making the teacup and documents on it jump.

Zhuo Wenyuan stood aside, silently watching Zhang Jun's frenzied roar, feeling equally depressed to the extreme. To keep the two important big clients, Zhang Jun and Zhang Peng, he spared no expense in using the company's funds to help them push up the stock price.

Seeing everything proceeding smoothly, Little Goose Shares' stock was about to hit the limit up, but he never expected Chen Yang, this "Cheng Yaojin", to appear out of nowhere and ruin his plans. At this moment, Zhuo Wenyuan wished he could flay Chen Yang alive.

"Zhuo, do you think Little Goose Shares' stock still has a chance to rise tomorrow?" Zhang Peng was a bit calmer than Zhang Jun. Although Little Goose Shares' stock price had been suppressed, overall they were still profitable. He had also brushed up on some stock knowledge these past two days, so he cared more about whether tomorrow's market would go up or down. If it went down, today's efforts would be wasted.

"Zhang, don't rush. I'll have the technical department analyze it and give you the results later." Zhuo Wenyuan actually had no confidence either. The reason he dared to use the company's funds to help the Zhang brothers push up the stock price was because he saw Chen Yang staying idle. He thought Chen Yang was confident about a rebound in Little Goose Shares' stock, never expecting the other side to have been lying in wait to cash out at a high point.

This old six, utterly shameless!

"Zhuo, why don't we lift the stock price again tomorrow to earn a bit more?" Zhang Jun, having been screwed over, felt a bit unwilling to accept it.

"Zhang, please stay calm. Wait for the technical department's analysis report to come out, then we'll discuss how to safely withdraw tomorrow." Zhuo Wenyuan now dared not speak too absolutely. While trying to keep the clients, he also had to consider the company's interests.

"Withdraw? What do you mean? Do you think we might lose money?" Zhang Jun looked at Zhuo Wenyuan doubtfully. Seeing the other's stern expression, he inexplicably felt a bit uneasy.

"Zhang, we probably won't lose money, but wanting to earn too much isn't very realistic." Zhuo Wenyuan instinctively thought that the stock Chen Yang had abandoned was already near its peak. Raising the price rashly would involve too many uncontrollable factors and thus be dangerous.

He had already suffered two consecutive losses on the Xingcheng Heavy Industry stock and didn't want to plunge himself into an irredeemable situation again.

"Zhuo, your guts are too small! If it weren't for you rushing to ship the goods in a panic, we wouldn't need to re-enter the market to easily make a big profit!" Zhang Jun let out a breath, then gave Zhuo Wenyuan a resentful look, feeling genuinely dissatisfied with his overly cautious manner.

In this ever-changing, unpredictable stock market, it's always the bold who are stuffed and the timid who starve. Zhang Jun doubted: with Zhuo Wenyuan's timid, wolf-fearing, tiger-fearing personality, how could he have helped Yexin and the others earn a hundred million?

"Zhang, better safe than sorry; we just need to maintain steady profits." Zhuo Wenyuan was also very dissatisfied with Zhang Jun. Clearly, making 4.6 million was enough to pull out, yet he insisted on coming back to stir things up.

They now hold over five million shares, but the closing price is only five jiao above the cost. This result is actually very dangerous; if someone dumps the market tomorrow, they'll all get trapped.

"Zhuo, my goal is to earn several billion; a mere few million is far too little." Zhang Jun now urgently needs to prove his ability. His demand isn't high—at least he must recoup the two hundred million that Chen Yang swindled from him at the auction.

"Zhang, haste makes waste; I think it's better to be steady." Zhuo Wenyuan insisted on his opinion. Earlier, due to his insufficient greed, he had scared Yexin and the others away. This time he couldn't repeat the same mistake.

Zhang Jun sighed, regretting that he hadn't learned more stock knowledge while studying. At the same time, he felt a bit disappointed in Zhuo Wenyuan.

"Zhang, why don't you go rest first? After I meet with the technical department, I'll come up with the best strategy for you." Zhuo Wenyuan feared Zhang Jun and the others might lose heart, so he decided to steady them first.

"Fine, then we'll wait for your good news." Zhang Peng patted Zhuo Wenyuan's shoulder to encourage him, then left together with Zhang Jun.

After they left, Zhuo Wenyuan hurriedly called Yexin.

"Yexin, could you do me a favor?"

"What is it? Speak!"

"Could you pass a message to Chen, asking him to temporarily stay out of Little Goose Shares' stock?"

"Isn't that kid back in Qing Shui? How is he secretly trading stocks again?"

"Yexin, Chen indeed bought Little Goose Shares' stock last week and just sold it before today's close."

"Oh, then you didn't suffer any loss?"

"There's a slight impact. That's why I hope you can persuade him to temporarily refrain from buying this stock again."

"Don't worry, I'll call him right now and tell him to stay home honestly with his wife."

"Thank you so much!"

"No need to be polite; given our relationship, helping you with a small favor is only natural."

"Thanks, Yexin; I'll treat you to a meal another day!"

"Okay, that's it then! I still have things to do."

After hanging up, Yexin couldn't help but laugh. She thought Zhuo Wenyuan's little scheme was truly childish. Clearly, he had initially schemed against Chen Yang himself, but now he's asking others not to cause trouble.

The reason she agreed to Zhuo Wenyuan's request was that luring the two Zhang brothers into the stock market was originally Chen Yang's plan. Even if she stayed silent, Chen Yang would hardly cause unnecessary trouble.

However, after thinking for a while, Yexin still called Chen Yang.

"You little punk, Zhuo Wenyuan's side has a big move tomorrow—aren't you going to get in on it?"

"My mission is already done; let them be happy for a while." Chen Yang now has secured his gains, feeling satisfied. At this point he definitely won't meddle in Zhuo Wenyuan's "good deed." He's still waiting for Zhuo Wenyuan to dig an even bigger pit for Zhang Jun……

"Then which stock are you planning to buy tomorrow? Let us know first. I haven't traded stocks in days and feel restless all over."

"No target for now!"

"Fine, if you secretly buy stocks and make a fortune quietly, I won't let you off!"
