Chapter 233

Chen Yang had Zheng Yun bring two employees working here in Qingshui City to secretly infiltrate Xingcheng.

Their mission was to monitor the surroundings outside the cold storage of the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company.

Chen Yang estimated that if Liang Jianfeng wanted to strike at the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company, he would definitely start from the cold storage. After all, this is the company's most important part. Once something goes wrong, the entire company's operations will be paralyzed.

Having Zheng Yun carry out the surveillance mission was mainly because he is not a native of Xingcheng and does not work at the cold storage; even if he appeared near the cold storage, it would not arouse Liang Jianfeng's suspicion.

Chen Yang's requirements for Zheng Yun were only two. First, observe suspicious personnel around the cold storage; if any suspicious person is found about to act against the company's interests, immediately notify the cold storage's security to take countermeasures. Second, capture photographic evidence of the suspect's crimes to preserve sufficient proof for future litigation.

After arranging all of this, Chen Yang finally rested easy.

On the second Monday of October, Chen Yang liquidated all of Liu Clan Group's shares at an average price of twenty yuan, recovering 119,830,000 yuan. Adding the existing balance in the account, total funds rose to 350,298,000 yuan.

"Mr. Chen, which stock are you planning to buy next?" Qi Yunxiang discovered that Chen Yang had liquidated his Liu Clan Group shares and immediately called him.

"Liu Clan Group's stock still has upside potential; if you, Mr. Qi, are interested in continuing to invest, you can buy some more at a low point." Chen Yang's sale of Liu Clan Group's shares was not due to pessimism about its prospects, but to honor his earlier promise to Yexin, Huang Bai ming, and Zhao Feiyang to use only the public account of Xinghui Financial Investment Company for stock trading.

"Mr. Chen, what are your plans for the next step?" Qi Yunxiang also knew that tech stocks are currently hot, and as one of the tech sector leaders, Liu Clan Group still has potential for further speculation. But if given a choice, he would rather follow Chen Yang in buying stocks, because he subconsciously feels that only by following Chen Yang can he make money more reliably.

Upon hearing that Chen Yang planned to stay out of the market for a while, Qi Yunxiang felt disappointed and hung up the phone.

Chen Yang also logged out of his personal account and logged back into the stock account the company had assigned him.

The additional funds from Yexin and the others were successfully transferred over the weekend. After deducting the 100 million yuan invested in the real estate project in Qingshui City's southern district, there were still 400 million yuan of usable funds.

These 400 million yuan were divided into four accounts, each allocated 100 million yuan.

Since Yexin and the others were still in the south, Chen Yang planned to first use this account of his to make a few small trades.

He observed the situation of several stocks he frequently traded.

After Chen Yang left, Xingcheng Heavy Industry's popularity dropped significantly, and its share price continued to drift down to 18.5 yuan.

The small-cap Goose Shares in the same sector were no better, having already fallen to 15.2 yuan.

Yuncheng Bio's stock had also slightly declined, but its price continued to hover around 20 yuan.

Xinfei Technology, also being a tech stock, has recently seen very high enthusiasm, with its share price rising to 26 yuan.

As for Liu Clan Group, which Chen Yang had just liquidated, because capital has been continuously accumulating shares, its share price has remained around 19 yuan.

Chen Yang had no chips, so he directly passed on Xinfei Technology and Yuncheng Bio, these two high-priced stocks.

Meanwhile, Liu Clan Group had ample capital accumulation; re-entering the market would likely leave him being led by the nose.

After a round of screening, Chen Yang's targets were narrowed down to Xingcheng Heavy Industry and Goose Shares. However, these two stocks share the same characteristic, and holding both simultaneously would entail too much risk.

Therefore, Chen Yang ultimately decided on Xingcheng Heavy Industry as his target.

Although Goose Shares have a lower price, their size is too small, and they cannot gather popularity as well as Xingcheng Heavy Industry.

After making his decision, Chen Yang began quietly accumulating shares.

The continuous downward drift was a major blow to the morale of shareholders holding Xingcheng Heavy Industry.

After Chen Yang quietly bought 5.4 million shares of Xingcheng Heavy Industry, the share price surprisingly did not rise. Even on the forum, a bunch of people thanked Chen Yang, this 'sucker', for taking over the shares, finally giving them a chance to pick up money in the tech sector.

Chen Yang merely smiled and said nothing. He silently logged out of his account, then logged into Yexin's account to continue accumulating shares. At an average price of 19 yuan, he bought another 5.2 million shares of Xingcheng Heavy Industry.

At this point, Xingcheng Heavy Industry's share price had risen to 19.5 yuan, and experienced shareholders quickly sensed something was off.

"Folks, what's going on today? Suddenly two hundred million yuan poured in—could Xingcheng Heavy Industry have major good news to announce?"

"Damn, that's unfair! I bought at 21 yuan, just cut my losses, and it went up."

"Don't cry, upstairs; you can only blame your own lack of resolve. After its restructuring, Xingcheng Heavy Industry tends to surge periodically. If you flee before the 30-day line even breaks, you deserve to lose money."

"Folks, I feel so depressed! I sold Xingcheng Heavy Industry and bought Liu Clan Group, hoping to recoup some losses, but I ended up trapped again."

Chen Yang checked Liu Clan Group's stock situation and found that capital inside had suddenly dumped a large amount, causing the share price to fall from 19 yuan to 18 yuan. It had already hit the limit down!

He was a bit puzzled, and after checking related news, he still found no negative information concerning Liu Clan Group.

To get to the bottom of it, Chen Yang called Liu Shijie.

"Brother Jie, hasn't Liu Clan Group encountered any trouble?"

"Besides Qingqing's wedding falling through, nothing major has happened so far."

"Oh, I saw the stock hit the limit down and thought something must have happened…"

"Don't worry, there's nothing. How many shares do you still hold in it?"

"I've sold them all. Today I bought back into Xingcheng Heavy Industry."

"Damn, you bought Xingcheng Heavy Industry without even telling me—talk about lacking loyalty!"

"I'm using the new company's corporate account, which has a confidentiality clause."

"So you're not keeping it secret now? Are you doing this on purpose to anger me?"

"Sorry, sorry! But my advice is for you to quickly figure out how to move the funds in Qingqing's stock account over to Hong Kong. I estimate that Certain Easy's stock still has considerable upside potential before year‑end."

"Really? Then I'll have Qingqing make another trip to Hong Kong. Once the money is transferred over, you can help me handle it."

"Su Mingyue is also trading US stocks; just let her continue handling it."

"She's no longer developing in Xingcheng; can we still trust her?"

"She can only control Qingqing's account and cannot withdraw the funds from it—what do you have to worry about?"

"That's right. Then I'll follow your lead."

That's right. Then I'll listen to you!
