Starting Check-in Reward: Tomson Riviera Chapter 212: Still Playing Mind Games? (4)

Indeed, the sharp rise this morning had truly confird everyone’s suspicions.

The terrifying surge made many people’s hearts pound, their eyes turning green with envy. At this rate, it seed like the stock had a chance of returning to its all-ti high!

So, many people decided to wait until the afternoon to see how things would play out.

However, the afternoon’s sideways trading, followed by a sudden plunge, sent those who had been ready to fleece the market into a panic.

’What the hell, are they ssing with us?’

Among them was a group of people who had seen things going south yesterday and hastily sold. Then, when they saw the morning’s surge, they quickly bought back in. These people were on the verge of a complete ntal breakdown.

It was as if they had willingly offered themselves up to be cut like leeks. And after being harvested once, they weren’t satisfied and had to offer themselves up for a second harvest?

This is a good ti for a reminder: the stock market is extrely risky. Enter with caution, and do not follow the herd!

As ntioned before, this ga was all about information asymtry.

Trying to get lucky by following the trend?

Then just wait to be harvested, especially with a small-cap stock like this!

...

anwhile, the major stock market forums were buzzing with discussion.

’This is bad, I have to sell now, or my money will be completely tied up!’

’Is the person above talking about Bauhinia Energy? I bought over twenty thousand yuan worth of Bauhinia Energy stock and sold it all this morning. Made about a five percent profit.’

’AGGGGH, what a devastating loss! I shouldn’t have been so greedy. I should have sold earlier. I was just trying to make a quick buck!’

...

There were many similar comnts. So were glad they had sold in the morning, while others regretted not doing so.

Of course, many people ca to the sa conclusion: they needed to sell off the shares they were holding as soon as possible!

This whole situation was far from simple. There were probably so big players, so "crocodiles," battling it out behind the scenes. If they got involved, they’d just be asking for death, right?

In reality, if a situation like this had happened in the past, many would have waited and watched, since new energy had maintained a good reputation over the years.

But after yesterday’s string of losses, they were genuinely scared!

The fact that Bauhinia Energy’s stock price had plumted by eighteen percent yesterday had left many psychologically scarred. It was just too damn shocking.

Who could have imagined that this supposedly super-valuable new energy stock, which had been hyped to the heavens, would see a day like this?

Yesterday morning, many had adopted that wait-and-see attitude, and by the afternoon, they had lost the shirts off their backs.

For these people, there was no way they were going to gamble today!

And so, sothing very strange happened.

After Bauhinia Energy’s stock dropped another three percentage points, it began to trade sideways again. At that mont, a massive number of sell orders suddenly appeared.

The total volu of these sell orders was huge, but each individual order was small. The largest was only for a few hundred thousand, while the smallest might have been just a few thousand.

But the total volu was terrifying. To absorb it all would require at least a billion or so in capital!

But just then, a torrent of capital suddenly flooded the market, swallowing all of these sell orders whole.

"FUCK! Where did this capital co from?"

In a skyscraper sowhere in the United States, several blond, blue-eyed middle-aged n sat around a table, staring at the large projection screen at the front of the office. Suddenly, one of them erupted in anger.

In just about ten minutes, all those sell orders were gone!

These sell orders had, of course, been initiated by retail investors trying to cut their losses.

That’s right. The reason Bauhinia Energy’s stock price had behaved so strangely in the afternoon was that these n were manipulating it from the shadows.

First, they engineered the sideways trading to make the retail investors suspicious. Then, they created the three-percent drop as a prelude, releasing a danger signal!

At this point, a predictable scenario would unfold: influenced by yesterday’s events, a large number of retail investors would consider cutting their losses and selling their stocks.

And that’s when the capitalists would re-enter the market, snatch up all these stocks, and then sell them when the price recovered, thereby reaping the profits!

Commonly known as: cutting leeks!

The stock market—it wasn’t just a ga of information asymtry, but also of psychological warfare!

These tactics had nothing to do with the stock market itself; they were just exploiting the psychology of retail investors.

But what these blond-haired, blue-eyed guys overseas never expected was that they had set the stage to harvest the leeks, only for soone else to co and cut them first!

"Find out what’s going on! Who is it that’s buying up all these shares?"

The man leading the group looked to be in his fifties, his hair completely white. His eyes were wide, making him look like a wild beast.

He was the one who had proposed this "leek-cutting" sche. In fact, this thod was his signature strategy. One could say that his entire standing within the Dugan Consortium was owed to this very tactic.

And now, he had been beaten at his own ga?

It was an utter humiliation!

"Yes, sir!"

The assistants at his side also looked nervous as they scrambled to investigate.

"Boss, the stocks went to many different places. It looks like they were bought up by retail investors."

"Yes, the buyers are spread throughout the entire Xia Country, and even overseas!"

...

The assistants were highly efficient and quickly reported back.

Their eyes were also filled with disbelief.

It was simply impossible. Would ordinary retail investors really move in such a coordinated fashion to snatch up stocks all at once?

In just ten minutes, orders totaling nearly a billion or so were all gone.

This had to be a joke!

"What?"

At that mont, the man in his fifties was also dumbfounded, then he frowned. "Are you sure your investigation is correct?"

"There are absolutely no errors!"

The assistants were certain. They had obtained this data through internal channels; there was no way it could be wrong!

"This..."

At that mont, the entire room fell into a dead silence.

The many financial experts in suits looked at each other, seeing the shock and confusion in one another’s eyes.

Even the assistants knew sothing like this was impossible, so of course, they knew it as well.

And yet, the impossible had actually happened!

...

「At the sa ti, in Xia Country.」

DING!

Ye Ling’s phone chid. It was a ssage from Zhu Yun.

’Zhu Yun: Chairman Ye, we’ve bought it all!’

That’s right. The mysterious torrent of capital had co from Shengding Group.

When Bauhinia Energy’s stock began trading sideways in the afternoon, Ye Ling had noticed sothing was off. He then recalled the comrcial secret the system had given him the other day. It seed there was a line in it...

’Overseas forces will set a trap to profit.’

Because it was just a short line of fine print in the detailed explanation, Ye Ling hadn’t noticed it at first and had completely missed it.

But upon seeing the strange market behavior, he suddenly rembered and imdiately ordered Zhu Yun to make a move.
