Chapter 50: A Near-Religious Fanaticism

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Su Hao casually wrote down a huge number next to the selected "ST Zhongrun".
"..."
No response.
'Too much?'
Shave it in half?
"..."
Still no response.
'Okay, then... halve it again?'
He wrote down another halved amount.
*Sizzle!*
A surge of electricity, even stronger than when he touched the stock code, shot up from the tip of his pen!
It worked!
Is this the critical point of "safety" and "effectiveness"?
That so-called "optimal quantity"?
"ST Zhongrun, buy it for this amount."
Su Hao pointed to the number and announced.
"This...so much?" Liu Bo's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"Manager, this amount...the exchange will definitely..."
"Hey, hey, the manager has his own judgment. Who gave you the right to question him?"
Liang Haiyuan interrupted him promptly, glaring at him.
"Or can you give me a more precise number that guarantees no alarms and still makes a fortune?"
"...I'm sorry, Manager." Liu Bo immediately deflated.
"Manager, please continue," Liang Haiyuan said respectfully.
Next, Su Hao acted like a charlatan drawing talismans.
Next to each selected stock, he continuously wrote down numbers, felt, adjusted, and felt again...
How much here, how much there.
His brow furrowed one moment, then he seemed lost in thought the next.
Although finding the "perfect amount" for each stock took some time, the entire office was silent. Everyone watched him intently, afraid to even breathe.
Su Hao knew perfectly well that in their eyes, his current actions were probably no different from a blind fortune teller's "irrefutable predictions"—pure guesswork.
"Alright, when the market opens, buy immediately according to this order."
He put down his pen and pushed the paper filled with stock codes and mysterious numbers to Liang Haiyuan.
"I'm going to talk to General Manager Li about something. As for when to sell… I'll let you know after the buying is complete."
"Yes, Manager!" Liang Haiyuan solemnly took the paper, his palms sweating.
Su Hao nodded and turned to walk towards General Manager Li's office.
This was, in fact, his first time having a one-on-one "friendly meeting" with his superior.
The moment Su Hao left, the office of Trading Department Seven erupted in chaos!
Everyone swarmed around Liang Haiyuan, heads bumping against each other, staring intently at the A4 paper filled with incomprehensible writing.
What on earth is written here?
A bunch of seemingly unrelated stock codes, followed by strings of illogical monetary amounts of varying sizes, each number marked with numerous dots.
“Brother Haiyuan, this…this looks like some kind of encrypted formula?”
“Yeah, we can’t understand the pattern at all. How were these numbers calculated?”
“Could this…this be the legendary…sure-to-profit secret algorithm that only managers can understand?”
That’s right!
In everyone’s eyes, what’s recorded on this piece of paper must be Manager Su Hao’s miraculous investment secrets!
It’s a quantified “divine revelation”!
It’s priceless!
The problem was, no matter how hard they strained their eyes or racked their brains, they couldn't figure out the logic behind those numbers or what earth-shattering secrets they held!
"Sigh, I bet this is some incredibly brilliant mathematical model!"
"But...it looks like the manager just randomly wrote down a few numbers and did some random addition and subtraction," someone muttered.
"What are you talking about! You mean," Liang Haiyuan glared at the man,
"Our manager just randomly made decisions about deals worth hundreds of millions, like playing 'guess the size of a walnut'? Use your tiny brain!"
"Uh...that's definitely not! This is absolutely...a formula containing the mysteries of the universe! How could we mere mortals possibly fathom the manager's wisdom!"
The man quickly changed his tune.
Everyone exchanged knowing glances, their eyes filled with awe and excitement.
"Haiyuan, how about...we secretly make a copy? This might be our only chance to see the manager's investment secrets' 'source code' with our own eyes!"
"Great idea! We have to make a copy!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We have to treasure it properly when we get back, like a family heirloom!"
"I have to take it back and study it carefully; maybe one day I'll have an epiphany!"
For a moment, everyone seemed to have discovered a lost treasure map from One Piece, carefully passing it around, taking pictures, almost worshipping it.
However, after the brief frenzy, cold reality pulled them back.
"Ahem...but speaking of which, the amount on this order...it still looks a bit risky..."
Someone said worriedly.
Leaving aside the alarming prediction that "Greece will definitely default," the specified purchase amount on this order alone exuded an aura of "danger," like recklessly testing the regulatory red line.
And the manager also said that he would use these positions for ultra-short-term trading!
This tightrope walking...it's like dancing on a knife's edge!
One wrong move, and forget about making money; you might lose everything you've earned, get into trouble, and be invited for a chat by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
"What else can we do now? We're in this together with the manager, like grasshoppers tied to the same string!"
Liang Haiyuan took a deep breath, forcibly stabilizing morale. His gaze swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice,
"We rise and fall together! We die together, we live together!"
These words, though crude, were true.
In an instant, the previously wavering hearts were forcibly twisted into a single rope.
"Remember! The only thing we need to do now is believe in the manager! That's how you gain eternal life!"
Liang Haiyuan's voice was firm and resolute, not loud, but carrying an undeniable force.
"I'll emphasize it again: Abandon your ego! Trust the manager! Execute orders!"
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their eyes filled with...
an almost religious fervor.
"Alright! Stop crowding around! Everyone get to your positions! Get ready to fight!"
Indeed, when your heart is wavering like a raging storm, only unwavering faith can help you overcome fear and forge ahead!
