Chapter 726: Igniting the Financial Circle

Chen Yang finally agreed to buy a business jet in the name of the Old Hundreds Financial Investment Company. This not only satisfies Chu Min's demand but also facilitates his cross-provincial work.

Given such a large expense, Chen Yang naturally had to find a way to make it back from the stock market.

When he opened the stock software, he found that both domestic and foreign markets were not doing well. The Shanghai Composite Index had been falling for several days, and many stocks had dropped more than ten percent.

This instantly reminded Chen Yang of his past life. He vaguely recalled that during this period the Shanghai Composite Index indeed experienced a major pullback. But this was merely a technical adjustment caused by various factors, and it would soon rebound, reaching new highs by year‑end.

As a veteran stock investor, Chen Yang knew that every sharp drop in a bull market was an excellent entry opportunity. Naturally, he did not want to miss this chance.

He summoned Shen Anna, He Wanqiu, and Lan Qiyun for a video conference.

"Everyone, I'd like to know how much idle money is left in the accounts of the companies you manage."

Shen Anna said to Chen Yang with concern: "Boss, the company still has ten billion yuan in idle funds. Are you facing some difficulty?"

"Everything's fine!" Chen Yang shook his head, then asked He Wanqiu: "Manager He, how much idle capital does Tianqi Pharmaceuticals have?"

He Wanqiu replied: "Chairman, including the stock funds invested with Manager Lan, the company currently has eight billion yuan of available funds."

Chen Yang nodded and then said to Lan Qiyun: "Junior, I won't ask about your funds. As for the stock market, you don't need me to elaborate. I called you today to say one thing: regarding the recent turmoil in the domestic stock market, I believe this is a good opportunity to make quick money."

Lan Qiyun frowned and said: "Senior, domestic and foreign funds are now as jumpy as startled birds. We retail traders can only huddle together to cut losses. You say this is an opportunity—aren't you being too optimistic?"

Chen Yang didn't want to explain further, and told her directly: "Junior, based on my experience, this is definitely an opportunity. If you're afraid, just use the funds from my company to enter the market."

After saying that, he turned to Shen Anna and He Wanqiu: "Sister Anna, Manager He, you should hold a board meeting tomorrow and say I propose using eighty percent of the company's idle funds to invest in the stock market. If there is strong opposition, you may adjust the ratio downward appropriately. But this plan must be approved within three days."

Shen Anna had no doubt in Chen Yang's stock‑market judgment and said directly: "Boss, I'll handle the board, but this money must be handled by you personally."

Chen Yang nodded: "Sister Anna, rest assured. I will certainly take charge of such an important matter."

Upon hearing this, Shen Anna yawned and said: "I don't really understand stock matters. The company has plenty of important work tomorrow, so I won't join you." After saying that, she bade the other two women good night and ended the video call.

After she hung up, Chen Yang turned to He Wanqiu and said: "Manager He, if the board puts up strong resistance, you can call me and I'll explain it to them in person."

He Wanqiu laughed and said: "Most of the board are our people now—where would resistance come from? Since the chairman is optimistic about the later market, we will certainly cooperate fully."

Actually, Chen Yang's biggest worry was He Wanqiu's mood. After all, during this period he had hardly inquired about the company's internal affairs, and all the pressure had fallen on her.

At this moment, asking her to throw the hard‑won stability into an unknown risk is indeed hard to accept.

Fortunately, He Wanqiu did not show a strong emotional swing.

After He Wanqiu also ended the call, Chen Yang said to Lan Qiyun: "Junior, if you doubt my judgment, you can observe for a few days first. But I must remind you that opportunities go to those who are prepared. By the time you feel absolutely certain, even with a capital advantage, the profit you can gain will be limited."

Lan Qiyun understood Chen Yang's meaning, but she still decided to wait and see.

Regarding this, Chen Yang did not insist. Without precognition, he was technically inferior to Lan Qiyun anyway; expecting her to trust him completely is indeed unrealistic.

Two days later, the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company issued an official statement saying it would allocate ten billion yuan of idle funds to financial‑investment products.

At the same time, Tianqi Pharmaceuticals Ltd. also released a statement saying it would allocate seven billion yuan of idle funds to financial‑investment products.

As soon as the news came out, the stocks of both companies rose five percent each and successfully hit the limit‑up within half an hour.

Liu Jianghua's call also came through to Chen Yang right away.

"Chen Yang, with the stock market so sluggish, what you're doing is playing with fire!"

"Governor, rest assured! Even if the investment really fails, I can fill the hole myself."

"Since you can backstop it yourself, I won't say more. By the way, how's that game project? Why has there been no movement lately? Is there really a problem?"

"Governor, please rest assured! The game development is almost done; we just need to obtain the usage rights from the major automakers, then we can start internal testing."

"Really? Then I'll wait for your good news."

Liu Jianghua hung up the phone satisfied.

Chen Yang originally wanted to call Wang Lei to ask about the progress of his overseas negotiations, but he feared it would disturb the other party's plans, so he gave up.

However, he didn't put the phone down right away; instead he casually dialed Qi Yunxiang at Xingcheng Securities.

"Manager Qi, is everything ready on your end?"

"Director Chen, rest assured—we hold shares in both of your companies, so we share honor and loss alike. How could we possibly be careless about this?"

Seeing that Xingcheng Securities was fully prepared, Chen Yang then focused on picking stocks.

Unlike other financial investors, he didn't need to analyze technical or news factors; he just had to find familiar hot stocks.

So, in just twenty minutes he had already identified his investment targets, and then began buying the relevant stocks using the stock‑trading software developed by Luo Hao.

That night, a piece of news titled "Stock God's Mighty Return, Leading a Strong Rebound in the Sluggish Market" ignited the entire domestic financial circle.

Not only did local TV stations and major internet portals scramble to report it, even the News Broadcast gave it a one‑minute special feature.

And the trigger was precisely the simultaneous announcements by the Old Hundreds Agricultural Products Trading Company and Tianqi Pharmaceuticals Ltd. of their financial‑investment plans, which gave the depressed retail investors a glimmer of hope.

They rushed to buy the stocks of those two companies, and the frenzied sentiment drove up the shares of the same sector as well.

At the same time, large institutions and retail funds also jumped in, snapping up the stocks they had pre‑positioned as quickly as possible.

Under the combined force of all sides, the Shanghai Composite Index rose fifty points overall, the daily trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets exceeded eighty billion yuan, and nearly one‑fifth of the stocks hit the limit‑up.

This result left Chen Yang both laughing and crying. It seems that trying to make money quietly in the domestic stock market is no longer realistic.
