Chapter 633: Using Funds to Control the World

"The initial number of frontline traders deployed is around 250," Huang Fengwen raised an eyebrow.
"These 250 people are all responsible for high-intensity trading operations?"
"Yes. As soon as Chairman Su gives the order, these 250 'killing gods' will immediately transform into tentacle monsters and charge into the market."
A brief, eerie silence fell over the conference room.
Initially, when they received Su Hao's instructions, everyone blindly followed them, like believers to a divine decree.
But now, looking at this dark mass of traders, like a phalanx preparing to attack a financial behemoth, a strange sense of absurdity welled up inside them.
Huang Fengwen stroked his chin and finally asked the question everyone had been holding back:
"Although the amount of funds we're mobilizing this time is terrifyingly large, to be honest…"
"Isn't it just about being a spendthrift, buying everything in sight to 'rescue the market'?
Just place buy orders, why bother with 250 top traders?"
"This… I also find it strange. If it's just simple buying, an automated program or a few people placing orders would suffice."
Lin Fan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his expression as strange as someone constipated.
"Maybe… perhaps… after all, it's a global market rescue effort, so more manpower might be needed for miscellaneous tasks?"
"Miscellaneous tasks? Have you ever seen a company use 250 top traders with million-dollar annual salaries to do miscellaneous tasks?
This setup… it looks exactly like when he was doing high-frequency short-term trading, sharpening his knives, ready to bite a chunk out of the market.
I'm telling you, Old Lin."
"Yes, Chairman."
"Tell me honestly, did you hear some rumors?"
"This..." Lin Fan hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I just heard some wild guesses from my subordinates."
"Enough nonsense, speak!"
"Everyone's saying... Chairman Su isn't going to be a savior this time, but rather... he's planning to engage in ultra-short-term trading, fleecing the entire world!"
"What?! Fleece the world?" Huang Fengwen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his usual composure completely gone.
"Do you know how much money we have right now? That's thirty trillion! A whole thirty trillion!"
"Using a massive amount of funds equivalent to the combined GDP of several countries for ultra-short-term trading?
Is this something a human would do?!"
At this moment, all the executives looked at each other, feeling a chill run down their spines.
Thinking back to Su Hao's past "no madness, no life" mentality, even if he held the wealth of the entire world, this guy was absolutely capable of doing something as crazy as going all in and dancing on the edge of a knife!
“This… if this is true, have we informed the other countries?” someone asked in a trembling voice.
“No… absolutely not.” Lin Fan swallowed hard.
“In our official letter, we only said ‘inject liquidity without limit’ and demanded ‘lifting all trading restrictions.’
But we didn’t promise anything about only buying and not selling!”
The conference room fell into a deathly silence, like a graveyard.
“What if… they cut off the internet? Or freeze the accounts?”
“Absolutely not. The world’s stock markets are counting on us to save them from disaster. We are the only true god!”
Lin Fan took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with fanatical light.
“Unless they want their economy to regress to the Stone Age, who dares to cut off our internet connection?
Even if Su Hao were to manipulate the market with 30 trillion, turning the stock chart into a chicken-pecking-rice-picking-me-not pattern, they'd still have to kneel down and call him 'daddy'!”
This is an open conspiracy.
This is hegemony.
Su Hao is using the emperor to command the feudal lords, using capital to command the world!
“Has Su Hao not mentioned this to anyone?” Huang Fengwen pressed.
“No. You know Chairman Su's style; he's always unpredictable, never letting a word leak out.”
Huang Fengwen took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces like a knife:
“You all understand, right? Sew your mouths shut!
Anyone who dares to gossip outside or in the company, I'll throw them into the Huangpu River to feed the turtles!”

Meanwhile, in the trading hall.
Standing before the enormous floor-to-ceiling window, Su Hao stared at the shocking scene before him, utterly dumbfounded.
(O_O)? What the hell is going on?
There are... way too many people!
Looking around, the workstations were packed with aggressive traders, each accompanied by an equal number of substitutes. The sheer number was terrifying.
This didn't look like a typical trading session. Anyone who didn't know better would think a top guild had gathered the server's elite to attempt the first kill of an epic raid!
'I just modified a blueprint, how did this cause such a commotion?' Su Hao internally raged.
So many top traders gathered together just to place a buy order?
This is like sending a bunch of Nobel laureates to teach one plus one in elementary school—not only is it a waste of talent, it's downright insane!
"Chairman Su, are you satisfied with this setup?"
Just then, Liang Haiyuan approached with a fawning smile, his grin as wide as a blooming old chrysanthemum.
"Following your instructions perfectly, we've achieved flawless execution!
Furthermore, the grueling training for this operation is complete!"
Su Hao was taken aback: "Training? What training?"
Liang Haiyuan lowered his voice, a sly "I understand" expression on his face:
"It's that! To match your god-like micro-management, we trained both new and veteran employees.
With just your command, we can seamlessly switch between buying and selling in milliseconds!"
"...?" Su Hao stared at him, bewildered.
Buying and selling...instantaneous switching? What does that mean?
Seeing Su Hao remain silent, Liang Haiyuan panicked and quickly bowed in apology:
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry! I spoke out of turn!
You haven't even officially announced that earth-shattering plan yet, and I've already spoiled it! I'm guilty, I deserve to die!"
"Which plan?" Su Hao asked instinctively.
Liang Haiyuan crept closer and said in a reverent tone:
"Of course it's... a world-shaking, ultra-short-term profit-making plan! Working day and night, going in and out of the global stock market seven times, leaving a bloodbath, right?"
Boom! It was as if a bolt of lightning struck Su Hao's skull.
He shuddered, an electric current instantly coursing through his body.
So that's how it is!
No wonder that damned, never-wrong intuition led him to such a massive operation—it was all for this!
This wasn't a simple market rescue; this was clearly… a massacre!
Su Hao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil within him, a profound smile appearing on his face. He patted Liang Haiyuan's shoulder:
“Old Liang…”
“Yes, Chairman Su!”
“Indeed, in this company, only you truly understand my heart.
Having you is like Liu Bei having Zhuge Liang—a perfect… cough, a harmonious relationship between ruler and subject.”
Liang Haiyuan trembled with emotion, his eyes instantly reddening:
“Chairman Su! Following you for so many years, serving you faithfully, is a blessing bestowed upon me by my ancestors!
If you need anything, just give the order. I'll go through fire and water, even die for you, to repay your kindness!”
