Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Serious Issue

Upon seeing Chen Wei make nearly eighty thousand within minutes of the market opening, Zhao Yang's eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Did you make this before the market opened?" he casually asked, then proceeded to take Chen Wei's mouse and open his trading records.

There were only two transactions, one buy and one sell.

Glancing at the chart for PAGS, Zhao Yang understood.

Shaking his head with a smile, he remarked, "Your luck is really something else, catching such an opportunity right at the opening."

"I spotted it before the market opened, made a move in advance, and when the market opened, it dropped a bit, so I took the opportunity to sell," Chen Wei explained briefly.

"What stock was it?" Zhou Yi overheard and hurried over to take a look.

"Oh man, you're amazing, boss! You made a killing right at the opening! How come you didn't call me?" Zhou Yi exclaimed after seeing how much Chen Wei had earned.

"What stock? How much did you make?" Zheng Junpeng chimed in from across the room.

"PAGS, seventy-nine thousand," Zhou Yi replied.

Zheng Junpeng came over to take a look and asked, "Was there a large order?"

"Yeah, there were about a hundred lots at 46.00. I didn't think much and just sold them all. Then the market opened, and it dropped to 38.00. It was purely luck," Chen Wei chuckled.

"Alright, let's focus on our own work and stop envying," Zhao Yang said before patting Chen Wei on the shoulder and leaving without saying more.

Zhou Yi couldn't help feeling a mix of envy and resentment as he returned to his seat.

Although it was still early in the trading day, and Chen Wei had already made a decent amount despite exhausting his skills, he decided to look for other opportunities.

However, after searching for over half an hour, he realized a serious problem.

A significant problem!

He found that without his skills, he couldn't make trades.

Or rather, he didn't dare to enter the market!

He could handle small trades, but when it came to opportunities for larger trades, such as "hat grabbing," he hesitated and didn't dare to enter with heavy positions!

At that moment, Chen Wei realized he was overly reliant on the system!

Having the system's skills provided him with psychological comfort—even if he didn't use them, knowing they were there gave him reassurance that if he made a mistake, he could try again. Thus, he dared to enter with heavier positions without fear of making mistakes.

But now, he couldn't do that anymore. His skills were exhausted, and there were no more chances to try again.

He was... afraid!

After realizing this, Chen Wei stopped, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and carefully contemplated the situation.

Having the system was a good thing, but being too reliant on it was not.

This problem needed attention.

As a trader, accurately judging stock trends and controlling the market was fundamental. The system was merely a supplement. It could enhance his abilities, but only if he himself was already proficient.

A kitten with wings was still just a kitten.

After realizing these things, Chen Wei took a deep breath and began to trade earnestly.

This time, he didn't trade in small-cap stocks but instead turned to major stocks like F, BAC, C, MSFT, AAPL, GE, BABA, FB, and SPY.

These stocks had huge trading volumes, and almost no market manipulator could control them.

Therefore, the technical indicators of these stocks were not as skewed as those of small-cap stocks.

If he could trade these stocks well, it could be said that he could trade almost any stock in major markets worldwide.

Because the participants in these stocks were mostly top-tier financial institutions worldwide.

After switching to these stocks, Chen Wei didn't rush to enter the market but carefully observed and analyzed the fluctuations of these stocks.

Unknowingly, several hours had passed.

In between, he made some profitable and some losing trades.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yi had been trading for half a day and made about five hundred yuan.

In the past, making five hundred yuan in a day was already good, but now, after experiencing some success with Chen Wei, Zhou Yi felt unsatisfied with this amount.

Seeing Chen Wei's enthusiasm, Zhou Yi came over to take a look again.

"Wow, boss, are you trading these stocks now?" Zhou Yi exclaimed after seeing the stocks Chen Wei was trading.

"What stocks are you trading, boss?" Zheng Junpeng also asked.

"F, BAC, C, MSFT, AAPL, GE, BABA, FB, SPY. Boss Chen is aiming high now," Zhou Yi laughed and said.

"Wow, you dare to trade these stocks? How much did you make?" Zheng Junpeng asked in surprise as he got up and approached.

"Didn't make much, just made a couple of trades casually," Chen Wei smiled and said.

After Zheng Junpeng took a look, he said, "These stocks are difficult to trade. They're all dominated by major institutions, with large trading volumes and fast movements. It's hard to judge."

"Yeah, it's hard to judge. It's making my head spin," Chen Wei said.

"But if you can trade these stocks well, that would be impressive. You could even go to Wall Street," Zheng Junpeng said with a hint of longing.

For traders, Wall Street was the highest temple. It was where the world's top traders and the most powerful capital giants gathered, and it was the core of the global financial market.

Chen Wei's eyes also showed a hint of longing as he said, "Yeah, but we still have a long way to go."

"Take it slow. Maybe one day we'll get there too. Dreams are meant to be had. What if they come true? Hehe," Zheng Junpeng chuckled, patted Chen Wei on the shoulder, and went back.

"Wall Street, sigh, I don't even know if we'll ever have a chance in this lifetime. It's so elusive!" Zhou Yi shook his head, sighed, and returned to his seat.

For someone like him, who was new to the industry, Wall Street was an unattainable place he hadn't even thought about.

Chen Wei didn't dwell on these distant thoughts either; he continued trading the major stocks.

Unknowingly, it was already closing time.

Apart from earning a bit from PAGS, the other ten or so major stocks he traded only earned him less than fifty yuan...

Chen Wei sighed helplessly. It was difficult to trade these stocks well without relying on the system. It was not something that could be done in just one or two days.

But Chen Wei wasn't in a hurry. He would take it slow.

After closing, Zhao Yang came in to inform them to go to the 28th-floor conference room for the summary meeting.

Every month, Meitai Company held a summary meeting. It wasn't long, just an hour, during which Manager Wang would briefly talk about the month's performance, then select a few successful traders to exchange experiences and discuss the overall trends for the next month.

Chapter 64: Chapter 064: Summary Meeting

The elevator was cramped, so many people decided to take the stairs to the twenty-eighth floor.

"Lao Chen, why didn't they let you share your experience?" Zheng Junpeng asked casually as they climbed the stairs.

Usually, when a company selects a trader to share their experience, they would notify them in advance so they could prepare. But Chen Wei didn't receive any notification.

That meant this time, the trader selected to share wasn't Chen Wei.

"Yeah, what's going on with the company? They actually didn't let you, the big boss, share! I don't believe anyone in the company earned more than you last month!" Zhou Yi said, slightly displeased.

There were no rewards or incentives for sharing at the summary meeting; it was purely an honor. At least in Zhou Yi's eyes, it was an honor. Only the best traders in the company were qualified to share. Otherwise, what's the point of sharing if you didn't earn more than the traders below you?

But Chen Wei didn't take it to heart.

To be honest, if they had let him share, he wouldn't have known what to share. He couldn't just say, "I have a system, and I'm awesome." Otherwise, someone would probably have called 911 and sent him for a neurological examination the next second.

The others were also discussing, some sympathizing with Chen Wei, while others speculated on the reasons behind it.

In the time they spoke, they reached the twenty-eighth floor.

Apart from the bullpen and Wang Wentao's office, there was the risk control team's office, the administrative department's office, and a large conference room on the twenty-eighth floor.

The administrative department consisted of young women responsible for various administrative, personnel, and financial tasks of the company. Since risk control often involved upsetting traders by issuing warnings about trading risks or forcibly closing positions, having male risk control officers would risk angering the traders. Having a group of young female risk control officers made the situation much easier.

As they passed by the risk control team's office, a group of single guys craned their necks to peek inside.

Wang Wentao was smart; he hired risk control officers who were pretty young women. Because if the risk control officers were ugly, they'd face the risk of being attacked, just like male risk control officers would.

Zhou Yi also stretched his neck to take a look inside.

Zheng Junpeng teased, "Thinking about Xu Lin again? If you like her, just go after her! Didn't she just receive a salary of 160,000 yesterday? Take her out for a weekend, I bet you'll succeed!"

"Vulgar! Zheng, I disdain to associate with someone as vulgar as you! Is Xu Lin that kind of person? She values talent, character, and appearance, not money!" Zhou Yi retorted with disdain.

"Then you're in trouble because you lack all three," Zheng Junpeng sighed, stating it directly.

That nearly choked Zhou Yi.

As they passed by the bullpen, a group of people craned their heads to peek inside.

They looked envious.

Zhou Yi sneered, "So what if they're in the bullpen? I bet they didn't earn as much as me last month!"

Zheng Junpeng chuckled and said, "Are you still uncertain about how much you earned last month?"

"You... why do you care about how much I earned? Anyway, I earned it! Right, boss?" Zhou Yi insisted, then turned to Chen Wei with a sheepish smile.

Chen Wei smiled faintly but didn't say anything.

When they arrived at the conference room, everyone took their seats according to their respective groups.

Chen Wei, as usual, sat in the back row.

In previous summary meetings, Chen Wei always sat in the back row and had gotten used to it.

Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi sat down beside him.

Before long, the risk control team's young female officers and the core team of experienced traders entered with laughter and chatter, taking seats at the front.

Zhou Yi's eyes were fixed on the front.

A ponytailed girl was sitting with a handsome experienced trader, leaning their heads close together, whispering and giggling from time to time.

Zheng Junpeng patted Zhou Yi's shoulder and said, "Brother, accept it. According to what I know, that Yuan Tong earned over 50,000 dollars last month, more than you, and he's better looking. Statistically speaking, well, you don't stand a chance."

Zhou Yi didn't respond, staring intently at Yuan Tong and Xu Lin in front as if he wanted to go over and bite them.

Zheng Junpeng exchanged a smile with Chen Wei and didn't say anything.

These things weren't easy to comment on; if there was fate, they would be together, but if not, forcing it wouldn't help.

At least Chen Wei had already understood that.

Soon, Wang Wentao and Zhao Yang, along with a few others, entered.

Wang Wentao went straight to the podium, and the other group leaders took seats in the front row. Only Zhao Yang and Sun Chong came to the back row.

Zhao Yang sat down next to Chen Wei, and Sun Chong sat next to Zhao Yang.

After sitting down, Sun Chong nodded slightly to Chen Wei, giving him a faint smile. Chen Wei returned the gesture, acknowledging the greeting.

On the podium, Wang Wentao cleared his throat and began, "Colleagues, our company did well in October..."

After a brief summary, Wang Wentao continued, "In November, I hope everyone will continue to work hard and create brilliance together! Alright, let's welcome Yuan Tong from the Trend Trading Team to share his experience!"

The core team was officially called the Trend Trading Team, nominally on par with the other eight trading teams. This was mainly because directly calling them the core team might trigger some other thoughts among the traders in the lower teams.

As soon as Wang Wentao mentioned Yuan Tong sharing his experience on stage, the meeting room erupted into discussion.

Chen Wei had earned over 300,000 dollars in October and was already well-known in the company.

Earning over 300,000 dollars in a month wasn't just remarkable within Metai Company; it was noteworthy nationwide. Many people thought they would break the norm this time and let a non-core team trader share. But unexpectedly, they still chose Yuan Tong from the core team!

This sparked discussions:

"How much did Yuan Tong earn in October?"

"Over 50,000 dollars, I think?"

"That's far less than what Chen Wei earned. Why didn't they let Chen Wei share? I was looking forward to hearing how Chen Wei did it!"

"Yeah, I wanted to hear too! What's going on with the company?"

...

Zhao Yang whispered to Chen Wei, "I originally wanted you to go up. Sun Chong, Wu, and Xu all agreed, but Wang Wentao said your methods might not be mature enough yet, and he wanted you to perfect them for another month before sharing. Maybe he's considering Luo Chen's feelings. Chen Wei, don't take it too hard."
