Chapter 67: is even more exciting than listening to a storyteller!

Night, for many in this city, is a time for rest and slumber.
However, inside the "Top Investment Department" office, a different scene unfolds.
The lights are blazing, as bright as day.
Su Hao, like a pillar of strength, sits firmly at the command center.
The clicks of the keyboard, the clicks of the mouse, and his occasional brief but precise instructions are exceptionally clear in the quiet office.
The ten new "night shift" members, after their initial bewilderment and tension, are quickly awestruck by the almost miraculous market sense and trading techniques Su Hao displays.
They feel as if they are in the center of a giant vortex, swept along by an invisible force, involuntarily participating in this frenzied "exploitation" operation.
They have never seen such operations!
In this market that they perceive as almost frozen, Su Hao always manages to find those minute fluctuations and extract profits from them with an almost artistic touch!
He needed no rest, no food, like a tireless, precise machine, or an artist absorbed in his work!
They only saw that the light of excitement on that young face didn't diminish in the slightest; instead, it burned even brighter, as if it wanted to ignite the silent night sky!
After an unknown amount of time, Su Hao finally let out a long sigh of relief, the faint smile on his lips seeming to deepen.
He stood up, stretched his slightly stiff neck, and glanced at the clock on the wall.
A new day had begun.
***
"Brother Haiyuan! Guess how much our department's total return rate soared yesterday?"
The newly transferred rookie Liu Yang, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement, was as if he'd struck gold.
"Oh? Tell me, how much is it?"
Beside him stood Liang Haiyuan, whom he called "Brother Haiyuan," who was currently holding a thermos of goji berries, barely lifting his eyelids.
"A full five percent! A whole five percentage points! My goodness!
I've been wondering, how can a deal of 5 billion yuan be made with a five percent profit in just one day?
I haven't been with the company long, but this kind of godlike operation—making five percent in a single day—is truly unprecedented!"
Liu Yang's face flushed with excitement, and he almost spat in Liang Haiyuan's face.
Five percent… Ha!
Liang Haiyuan even felt a little amused.
This reaction was perfectly normal.
Ordinary large-scale trading teams would be lucky to scrape together even 0.1% profit a day.
But now, they've given you a full five percent!
And five percent of a 5 billion yuan deal!
Those small fry outside, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets, were lucky they had strong nerves.
A strange smile unconsciously curved his lips as he spoke softly:
"So, our CEO Su is probably a little disappointed."
"Huh? Disappointed? What makes you say that?"
Liu Yang looked completely bewildered, clearly not following his leap of thought.
"Ahem, nothing."
Liang Haiyuan then realized he had inadvertently blurted out his true feelings.
Damn it, am I drifting along with that monster too?
Liang Haiyuan secretly grumbled to himself.
He stared at the "five percent," completely unmoved, even feeling a slight urge to yawn.
Only a few years ago did a five percent daily return seem like an astronomical figure, unimaginable even to him!
In a typical proprietary trading department, that would be the cream of the crop, the kind that could do whatever it takes!
But in the "top-tier" core department headed by this prodigy nicknamed "Human Money Printing Machine," Director Su, a mere five percent...
Heh, that's nothing special, just a drop in the ocean, even... a bit lacking.
'Damn it! I've been infected by Director Su's monstrous money-making efficiency; my threshold is off the charts!'
Alarm bells were ringing in his mind:
'No, no, we have to stay calm! Five percent! That's already incredible!
If we keep getting this cocky, we'll end up with a princess complex without the life of one! We'll suffer a terrible fate!'
Liang Haiyuan pinched his thigh hard, trying to bring himself back to reality.
Just as he was lost in his internal monologue, there was a commotion at the office door.
'Ah, Mr. Su, good morning!'
'Good morning, Mr. Su!'
Amidst the chorus of greetings, Su Hao, the director of the special department, the true "big boss," strolled in.
'Hmm, good morning, everyone.'
Su Hao responded casually, nodded to everyone, and walked straight into his private office, leaving his subordinates holding their breath behind him.
'Hey, don't you think Mr. Su's expression is a little off today? He should be in a good mood after pulling off such a big job yesterday, shouldn't he?'
A new, greenhorn-eyed guy muttered under his breath.
"Yeah, five points a day, if it were me, I'd feel like I was floating!" another chimed in.
Liang Haiyuan listened to the youngsters' discussion, simply shaking his head with a profound expression:
"Hey, looks like you guys don't really know our CEO Su."
"Oh? Brother Haiyuan, what do you mean?"
Several curious youngsters immediately crowded around.
"Before you guys came here, didn't you hear about CEO Su's reputation?
Back then, CEO Su joined as a trading assistant, and in no time, he was like a rocket, skyrocketing to the director level!
He's practically a walking legend!"
Liang Haiyuan spoke with such pride, as if he were talking about himself.
"I have! It's said that the returns CEO Su achieved back then were enough to be recorded in the company's history, truly unprecedented and unparalleled!"
A well-informed young man added.
"That's right! But you've only heard the name; the actual figures are probably beyond your wildest imagination, right?"
Liang Haiyuan slapped his thigh, keeping everyone in suspense,
"In just that short time, President Su's personal return rate skyrocketed to several hundred percent!"
"Hiss—!!!"
A collective gasp filled the office; several newcomers nearly popped their eyes out of their sockets.
Several hundred percent?!
Is this even human?!
This must be the God of Wealth possessing him, no, the God of Wealth himself descending to earth to manage this!
The young men were instantly petrified, their mouths agape.
Before squeezing into the elite department, they had all heard some of the "legends" surrounding Su Hao.
Some said he was a well-connected "connectionist," with an unfathomable background.
Others said he carved his way to success solely through his unpredictable trading skills and phenomenal performance.
But one thing was undeniable:
No matter how powerful your background or how strong your connections, no foolish private equity firm would dare entrust a full 5 billion yuan to an incompetent person to squander!
This 5 billion yuan represented half of Fang Huan Investment's own assets! Half of their empire!
If they lost it, it wouldn't be a joke; the entire company would starve!
This wasn't just trust; it was entrusting the company's very survival to him!
What did this mean?
This means that, in the eyes of the company's top management, the name Su Hao represents immeasurable value!
He is the company's pillar of strength, a walking god of wealth!
"Several...hundreds of percent?!"
"My god, how much money must that have made?!"
"Hmph," Liang Haiyuan proudly raised his chin,
"So, with your limited knowledge, you think you can fathom President Su's thoughts?
He's seen it all, he's danced on the edge of a knife!
So, a mere five percent daily return is beneath his notice!
Not only that, but if we're talking about President Su's glorious achievements, we could go on for three days and three nights..."
Liang Haiyuan then launched into his monologue, a veritable "Heroic Tale of President Su," his words flowing like a torrent. One wonders if he was a storyteller under a bridge in his past life.
His voice was so vivid and captivating, it was utterly irresistible.
Half of the stories he recounted were firsthand accounts of shocking events he witnessed and experienced;
the other half were "secondhand tidbits" he heard from Li Huilin, another veteran member of the department.
His vivid descriptions, complete with masterful embellishment, were breathtaking.
He narrated every desperate gamble and miraculous turn of events with epic grandeur.
It was more captivating than listening to a storyteller!
Under his passionate performance, the employees in the office, who already held Su Hao in the highest esteem...
after listening, their awe soared even higher!
It was practically reaching the heavens!
