Chapter 54: is a real talent!

"Wow... the manager's composure is incredible! He's practically made of reinforced concrete!"
"A true leader! He can still concentrate on his book at a time like this? Isn't he worried at all?"
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'Those more capable than you work even harder'? With his status and level, he's still learning and improving!"
"If it were me, I wouldn't even be able to read; my hands and feet would be shaking uncontrollably..."
"That's true leadership! Imagine if our boss were like us, sitting here trembling like a leaf, what would be the point of working? We might as well just disband!"
Everyone whispered amongst themselves, secretly admiring their boss's composure.
A true leader! His calm and collected demeanor was absolutely dazzling!
Just then! Without warning—
Boom!
A huge commotion suddenly erupted in the public trading area outside the office!
The other trading departments were thrown into chaos, as if a depth charge had been dropped!
"What's going on? Holy crap! Is this for real?"
"My God! These Greek lunatics! They really dared to do this? It really just exploded like that?"
Screams, curses, and incredulous exclamations filled the air!
What happened?
Something terrible has happened?
The members of Su Hao's department immediately perked up their ears, their hearts pounding in their throats.
Sure enough, the next second, explosive news spread like wildfire throughout the entire trading department!
"Not the Greek government! It's the IMF! The International Monetary Fund has just issued an emergency statement!!"
It turned out that, with the repayment date fast approaching, the IMF probably felt that the Greek mess was beyond saving.
Out of humanitarian spirit, they offered a way out, indicating they could consider extending the repayment period for the Greek government.
And the result?
The Greek government's response was utterly domineering, shocking the world—
They flatly refused!
The subtext couldn't be clearer:
Delay? No need! We simply don't have the money! And we're not planning to pay! So what!
"This is fucking explosive! Greece! A national-level default! Openly refusing to pay!"
"They've gone mad! These Greeks have completely lost their minds!"
The entire financial market exploded at that moment!
Everyone's gaze instinctively focused once again on that glass office.
Eyes were filled with disbelief and fanatical worship!
Once again! Their manager had been right again!
No, this wasn't just a prediction; it was a prophecy!
It was an oracle!
"Everyone."
Just as everyone was still immersed in shock and chaos, a calm, almost cold, yet inexplicably magical voice rang out.
Su Hao was already standing in the office doorway, his face expressionless.
Only those eyes shone like cold stars in the night, gleaming with the sharp light of a cheetah before its hunt!
A slight smile played on his lips as he announced:
"Everyone, perk up. Get ready to reap the rewards!!"

The stock exchange has a market supervision department.
The purpose of this department, to put it bluntly, is to act as both "security guard" and "camera" for the domestic stock market.
They keep a close eye on those who misbehave in the market, upholding "fairness, impartiality, and transparency."
They are the first line of defense, conducting daily monitoring and screening for abnormal transactions.
Sometimes, if they encounter a case they deem troublesome, or a particularly suspicious or powerful "tough nut to crack," the exchange can't handle it on its own and has to request assistance from a higher-level department.
This higher-level department is the Market Supervision Department of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC).
This department wields immense power, specializing in dealing with all kinds of market dissent with a tough approach, truly a place where all sorts of market manipulators tremble in fear.
There's no way around it; in China's "field of leeks, a metaphor for exploiting retail investors," there will always be those who want to profit through shady means and stop at nothing to exploit them.
The higher the standard, the greater the challenge; the regulatory system is forced to evolve to be even more stringent than an ironclad fortress, preferring to punish a thousand innocent people rather than let one guilty person go free.
Therefore, compared to other countries, China's financial regulatory system is notoriously strict, like a pressure cooker.
This approach has the advantage of effectively reducing losses for retail investors, but the downside…
it completely suppresses the vitality of the entire stock market, preventing it from falling further or rising significantly.
“Director, the exchange just sent a request for assistance,” a young investigator reported to his superior.
“Which company is it this time?” Fang Jun, the director of the Market Supervision Department, didn't look up, staring at the monitor screen in front of him.
“It’s Fanghuan Investment again.”
“Hmm?” Fang Jun finally looked up, frowning. “Why is it them again?”
Fanghuan Investment.
Ever since the last stock market crash that swept through the entire financial market, this name has become a key target of their department's surveillance.
There’s no way around it; in that last financial disaster, almost all institutions lost money.
But Fanghuan Investment, as if they had cheated, went against the tide, accurately buying at the bottom and making a fortune!
Although some suspected insider trading afterward, the problem was that they claimed their predictions were based on publicly available information.
How can you classify this as insider trading?
Lacking evidence, the matter was eventually dropped.
They thought that after making a killing that time, Fanghuan Investment would quiet down for a while and behave themselves.
Who knew that peace would only last a few days?
These audacious guys are stirring up trouble again!
“250 million yuan, they were smart enough not to throw all their money into one basket, they diversified it…”
Fang Jun analyzed, looking at the dense data stream on the screen.
“Yes, Director, although they split it, the amount across each asset is still considerable,” his subordinate added.
“Hmm, that’s a pretty good technique. No wonder the exchange was nervous and sent a request for assistance.”
However…
Fang Jun examined the data more closely.
Fang Huan Investment's operation this time, though involving a huge sum of money, was extremely cunning.
The quantity they bought was precisely at a very delicate critical point.
You could say they violated regulations, right?
But it didn't reach the red line that would directly trigger mandatory intervention.
You could say they were above the law, right?
But such a large amount of money, and such a huge commotion, was dizzying.
This left Fang Jun marveling.
This group's grasp of the rules is simply unparalleled, downright outrageous!
Every order's amount and timing are measured with calipers!
They precisely tread the very edge of the regulatory red line, relentlessly testing it, but never crossing it even a fraction of a second!
"Damn, he's got talent!" Fang Jun couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
Just what kind of monster is this mastermind behind Fang Huan Investment's operations?
They know our rules and bottom lines better than I, an insider, do!
This control, this sense of timing…
Even seasoned veterans with decades of experience in this industry might not be able to play it as smoothly, as skillfully!
