Chapter 100: This Week’s Small Goal: Ten Million

Tianan Technology.

Last week, Zhang Long caught two limit-up surges, took the profit, and ran without holding a single share. But today, the stock-picking report from Ever Prosper is recommending it, so it is worth keeping a close eye on what comes next.

The market is about to open. Tianan Technology will not hit the limit-up today, but it will still rise.

Still, before trading stops on Thursday, run.

...

"Hm? Tianan?"

Watching Zhang Long buy into Tianan Technology again after the open, Qian Caiying could not help but curl her lips. It would have been better if he had not run last Friday; he would have made less money overall.

It opened today up 4.5 percent. The momentum has weakened, but the outlook remains bullish, so buying in is no problem.

What about the other two stocks?

"He is getting timid."

Qian Caiying clicked her tongue. The three stocks Zhang Long bought today totaled only three million, and there was still a full 7.7 million left in the account. Last week, on the very first trade, he had directly put in six million, and by the next day he was fully invested.

Still, it made sense. It was only Monday today, so buying less was better. Otherwise, if another chance came later and the account was full of positions with no cash left, that would be awkward; he would have to sell first.

"Push Tianan then."

After a moment of thought, Qian Caiying made her decision. Nothing much could be gleaned from the other two stocks, but among the three, one had to be singled out for focused recommendation. Zhang Long's trading pattern was still unclear, so she would make her own judgment for now.

The boy was sly, yes, but given enough time, she would always uncover some pattern in his moves. Heh, heh, heh.

Whether Zhang Long truly had a sharp instinct for investing, or whether some expert stood behind him, did not matter.

So long as she, Qian Caiying, stood her ground, that was enough.

"Beep, beep beep~"

In the market department group chat, Liang Xue looked at the selected radar briefing drafted by Qian Caiying and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately gathered the team and made Tianan Technology their main recommendation.

Ever Prosper's daily basic stock-picking report could be treated as entertainment; the real guide was still Qian Caiying's selection.

Though they did not know exactly how Zhang Long was operating, Qian Caiying's selected radar was the wind vane. No one expected it to be right every day; as long as the wins outnumbered the mistakes, that was enough.

If one were guaranteed to win every day, that would no longer be a person.

...

"Ah, two is enough."

At Riverside Dragon Residence, Zhang Long finally finished his flurry of trading across several stock accounts. He had not used all the funds in any account, leaving some behind to buy that demon stock in a few days. From today through Thursday it would fall for several consecutive days, but from Friday through next Friday it would rise, even without a limit-up board.

The gain would be over forty percent.

Still, Zhang Long did not plan to buy on Thursday at the lowest point. He would buy on Wednesday instead. Thursday would likely dip a few percent, but that did not matter; it would make a perfect smoke screen for another losing add-on position.

Lose first, then win. A bad habit.

With Tianan Technology included, this week alone, making money on two stocks was enough. As long as the accounts occasionally showed a losing trade now and then, there would be no problem turning a profit week after week.

The stock market was enormous. So long as one was not maliciously propping up prices to disrupt the market, one could make as much money as one liked.

If you had the ability, go ahead.

"Buzz, buzz buzz~"

Suddenly a message came in on his phone. Zhang Long looked down to see a trading suggestion sent by Huiyin. After a glance, he studied the market for a moment, then directly bought half a position.

After placing his take-profit and stop-loss orders, he rose and left home, heading to the spot trading platforms he had already arranged to visit.

Just as when he had previously selected brokerage accounts, any company tucked away in a back alley was ignored.

Business district, company scale.

Those two hard requirements were the foundation. Such places would not easily shut down and run off, no matter how hard one squeezed them. At most, he would drain each platform by thirty to fifty million before stopping, which was probably just a quarter's profit for the platform anyway, nothing excessive.

Besides, the large volume of daily trading also generated considerable commissions, so the platforms were not losing much.

In any case, according to his plan, before he was blacklisted by the spot-trading industry entirely, he would milk it dry.

Take as much as he could.

...

"Brother Yang, Tianan Technology is currently drawing heavy attention from the market, and there is still plenty of room for further gains. If you keep hesitating, there really will be no chance left. Even in a bear market, there are still stocks that rise every day, and they attract attention fast. By the time everyone has piled in, the opportunity will be gone. It's risky."

"Last week, you missed the two limit-ups. This week is expected to be no less than last week. You need to seize it quickly..."

At Ever Prosper, the market department was lively and bustling.

Leaving aside the other three teams, Snowstorm Team's atmosphere was quite good. For both Chang Song and Bai Xiaoying, the feeling from when they were making performance for Shengxin had returned.

Though Brother Long was gone, their boss Liang Xue was still here, and she provided the selected radar as a reference.

Right or wrong did not matter. What mattered was recommending stocks to clients with ringing confidence, then getting them to deposit funds.

Without deposits, how could there be trading?

It was a shame their boss was not letting them contact Shengxin's old clients for now. Otherwise, they would have even more confidence in their sales results. Still, it made no difference. All the old dead accounts from Ever Prosper, plus the ones unwanted by the other three teams, made for a huge pool.

Even if only one in ten could be revived and brought back to deposit and trade, the final numbers would still be considerable. Dead clients were still a foundation. Just do the work.

"Hello, Sister Pan..."

Another client answered the call. Chang Song's spirits rose as he launched into his passionate pitch, his tone firm and forceful.

Liang Xue toured the team, stopping by whenever an employee ran into trouble to provide support, staying busy.

"Good state."

From the director's office, one could see the four teams of the market department. Ling Zhiqing could not help nodding. Whether it was Ever Prosper's own three teams or the newly arrived Snowstorm Team, the work atmosphere and employee condition were both excellent.

If the state was there, would performance be far behind?

...

"Why not make a bet before the market opens?"

Suddenly, Qian Caiying rolled her eyes and glanced at Ling Zhiqing with what seemed like a mischievous grin. "How about we bet on which of the four teams will be the champion in December?"

...

In the afternoon, before the European spot market opened, Zhang Long returned home.

He went to three spot trading platforms and, after comparing them, opened accounts with two of them. Their scale and size were comparable to Huiyin's, though one difference was that they were not under the same exchange.

There were several major spot exchanges in the country, all officially approved by the State Council, and the platform member units under them were mostly legitimate as well.

The unreliable ones were mostly the intermediary platforms below the member units, the thin end of the branch.

Their offices might be small and hidden in obscure corners, and Zhang Long would not touch those.

He only opened accounts with platforms directly under the exchanges.

"Buzz, buzz buzz~"

Shortly after returning home, Zhang Long answered the risk disclosure calls from the two newly opened platforms. Like Huiyin, they were recorded as a backup, so that if clients later suffered losses and tried to make trouble, the platform could produce the recording to shove the matter back at them: investing has risks, market entry requires caution, so what is all the fuss about?

They also stated that the operating information provided by the platform was for reference only, and that the client would make the final decision on buying and selling. If a relationship manager forced trading, complaints could be filed with the company at any time, and so on and so forth.

"Mm, all right."

Zhang Long responded and hung up.

Not long after, the spot trading account credentials were sent to his phone. By then, the banks were basically closed. Tomorrow morning, once he completed the three-party linkage procedures, he could deposit funds, activate the accounts, and start trading, unlike stocks, where one had to wait until the next day.

It was worth noting that the spot silver prices on the two exchanges differed from Huiyin's market, but the trend was exactly the same, so it was of no concern.

Another point was that the maximum margin leverage on one exchange was the same as Huiyin's, while the other offered 12.5 to 1.

"The funds are magnified by twelve and a half times."

Looking at the new platform's spot market, Zhang Long clicked his tongue.

Still, whether the leverage was high or low did not matter. As long as the profits could be made, that was enough.

Now he had one platform account under each of the three major exchanges. Tomorrow would reveal whether the prediction ability would split as well.

Would it still be limited to three predictions a day in total, or three per platform? Tomorrow would tell.

Everything was ready. Time to set a small goal?

This week's spot trading profit target: ten million?
