Chapter 296: Short-term Trading Mindset

Lin Wei's unreasonable fuss didn't last long, because besides being a jealous person, she was also a workaholic.

After she left, Chen Yang immediately cleared his email. Although he had never met this junior from the finance department, Lan Qiyun, and had no ambiguous relationship with her, as long as their chat records remained, they could fuel endless imagination for a woman with a rich imagination.

After clearing the records, Chen Yang felt a bit sleepy, so he turned off his phone and took a nap. He didn't get up until shortly before noon to make a meal for Lin Wei.

After the meal was ready, Lin Wei happened to come back. What surprised Chen Yang was that her facial expression had clearly changed from when she left for work in the morning. After taking off her shoes, she immediately gave Chen Yang an extremely intimate hug.

"Honey, I've already looked into it. This Lan Qiyun is a sophomore in the finance department; she's indeed outstanding, but her figure isn't curvaceous enough—she's not your type."

Chen Yang felt a surge of annoyance.

"You looked into it? Obviously it was you who was supposed to check."

Moreover, Lin Wei's logic is quite bizarre. Just because Lan Qiyun isn't curvaceous enough, she drops her guard against her. But Liu Qingqing isn't curvaceous either—why the different treatment…?

However, as long as Lin Wei doesn't keep obsessing over the Lan Qiyun issue, Chen Yang can't be bothered to spell it out.

After finishing the meal, Lin Wei happily went back to work.

Feeling bored, Chen Yang opened his computer again to check the stock market.

Pioneer Technology's performance today was exactly as Chen Yang had expected—it hit the limit down at the opening. Throughout the morning, some capital tried to lift the price several times, all to no avail. By the close of the morning session, there were still 300,000 lots of buy orders stacked at the limit.

The forum was likewise bustling.

"Folks, buddy today managed to make Xingcheng Securities' capital act as a white knight. I'll go buy some peanuts and beer later to celebrate."

"Haha, even the hot money of Xingcheng Securities has had a day of being beaten. Today this limit-down board has been poked a few times and got moved—looks like they ran into a tough nut."

"The hot money of Xingcheng Securities deserves it. Every day they play roller coaster, harming us retail investors; now they've finally been taken care of by the big players. Later I'll buy a string of firecrackers and set them off at Xingcheng Securities' business hall to celebrate their successful trapping."

"Upstairs, it seems the urban area of Xingcheng bans fireworks—be careful not to get caught!"

"What's there to fear? At worst I'll get lectured by the police and fined a bit. As long as I can make Xingcheng Securities' hot money feel sick, I'll feel great."

"Folks upstairs, aren't you looking at the transaction data? This morning Xingcheng Securities' hot money didn't make a move at all—it was just other capital sparring among themselves."

"What does it matter? As long as the capital suffers a setback, we have to celebrate."

"What's there to be happy about upstairs? Now not only is the hot money trapped, we retail investors are trapped too. If today's limit-down isn't lifted, tomorrow will keep falling. Then the brothers and sisters who made a little money yesterday would have to disgorge all their profits, possibly even end up owing money. Is that what you want to see?"

"What the folks upstairs said is right. Although Xingcheng Securities' hot money operates somewhat disgustingly, they usually leave a way out for those who stay. Now doing this, everyone will be ruined."

"Yeah. Xingcheng Securities' hot money follows a pattern; now everyone knows how to respond. Moreover, even if they smash the limit down, they usually pull back a bit. Today's capital is just like yesterday's—purely unreasonable smashing. It gives us no way out. That's truly beastly!"

"Strange—why is there no movement at all from Xingcheng Securities' hot money today? Yesterday they poured in so much funds; they shouldn't just sit and wait for doom!"

"Don't rush, everyone. Yesterday they also only started pulling up before the afternoon close. Maybe today they'll do the same."

"Folks upstairs, don't be too optimistic. Xingcheng Securities' hot money already holds a lot of chips. In this situation, they probably feel a bit unsure."

"Waa waa waa, if I had known I should have left yesterday—I was just too greedy!"

"What good is regret upstairs? Everyone who's trapped just wants to make a bit more. If Xingcheng Securities' hot money doesn't act today, we can only leave it to fate."

"By the way, is Xingcheng Securities' hot money browsing the forum? Don't be timid—come out and deal with those hateful capitalists. This time everyone's rooting for you!"

After reading everyone's discussion, Chen Yang also felt a bit surprised. Pioneer Technology has become such a mess, yet Yexin and Qi Yunxiang never called him.

Could it be that Yexin has successfully recruited Lan Qiyun under her command, and they're now discussing countermeasures?

Chen Yang took out his phone and looked, only then realizing he had forgotten to turn it on.

After successfully turning it on, sure enough there was a pile of missed calls and messages, most of them from Yexin and Qi Yunxiang.

Chen Yang didn't rush to call Yexin back. This woman had screwed him over that morning, so she should suffer a bit more mental anguish.

So he first called Qi Yunxiang back.

"Manager Qi, what urgent matter do you need me for?"

"President Chen, haven't you checked the stock market? Pioneer Technology got limit-down smashed again. We've already consulted insiders at Pioneer Technology. They say today's situation is entirely the individual behavior of some capital, unrelated to the company. What do you think we should do about this?"

"Since there's no problem inside Pioneer Technology, there's no need to rush. Let those who like to smash the market do so. As long as it doesn't fall below our cost price, we don't need to hurriedly top up our positions."

"President Chen, our company holds 15 million shares. If it truly falls below cost, we'd lose a fortune."

"Manager Qi, what's there to worry about? Pioneer Technology is a blue-chip stock; its performance has been steadily growing over the past few months, and there's nothing wrong internally. Such a stock, even with short-term fluctuations, will gradually rise. Moreover, we both hold plenty of chips. Once the other side's chips are exhausted, pushing the price up won't be difficult at all."

"Makes sense. Then I'll inquire further—if Pioneer Technology truly has no internal issues, let's just stand pat today."

Chen Yang sighed. As an experienced securities firm manager, Qi Yunxiang couldn't possibly have failed to assess Pioneer Technology's prospects.

His mind was unsettled, mainly because he'd been playing short-term trades too much lately. He'd grown accustomed to using a short-term trading mindset to judge a stock's direction.

The same reasoning applies to Yexin, Huang Bai ming, and Zhao Feiyang—their minds are only on making quick money. They buy a stock today and must sell it tomorrow; if any change occurs in between, disrupting the rhythm, they'll feel as if sitting on pins and needles.

Chen Yang introduced Lan Qiyun to Yexin, hoping that when such problems arise, someone could step forward to share his worries.
