Luo Chen was stunned!
$270,000!
He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
At this moment, the market was trending downward with strong momentum, but there was significant buy order support at the $11.90 level, holding the price up. However, the sell orders at $11.91 quickly accumulated nearly a thousand lots.
Luo Chen asked Xu Lin to check Chen Wei's position for him and found that Chen Wei only had 300 short positions left, which he had just opened at $12.60 on the way down. His original 800 short positions had indeed been stopped out.
Luo Chen didn't dare to go long impulsively again. Chen Wei's recent maneuver had indeed influenced Luo Chen's judgment, making him mistakenly think that another powerful player was driving the price down.
If it was Chen Wei, that was manageable, and Luo Chen could compete with him. But if it was an unknown powerful player, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.
Luo Chen had no choice but to painfully liquidate his 5,000 long positions, causing the price to drop across five levels and resulting in a loss of over $280,000.
Zhou Yi, with his 800 short positions, made over $80,000!
Zheng Junpeng, who had shorted 1,000 positions, also made over $80,000!
Lv Tinghai, Yu Jia, and Pan Zhiyao, each holding several hundred short positions, also made tens of thousands!
Together with the gains from JKS, the entire seventh team had another bountiful day.
They were overjoyed.
Chen Wei, although initially stopping out with a loss of $56,000 on 800 short positions, subsequently made over $20,000 on 300 short positions. Additionally, JKS ended up profiting over $110,000, making the small loss on VIPS insignificant.
More importantly, Luo Chen lost over $280,000!
The thought of it was so satisfying!
"Boss, you really outplayed him! If it weren't for you stopping out those 800 positions, Luo Chen wouldn't have surrendered so easily! I admire you to the core! That Luo Chen actually dared to go against you, he clearly doesn't know his limits!"
Zhou Yi came over, expressing his sincere admiration.
"Indeed, without that move from Chen, Luo Chen would definitely have fought back. Given his authority, even if we joined forces, we might not have been able to take him down easily. Just shows that compared to Chen, Luo Chen is still a step behind!"
Zheng Junpeng also expressed his admiration.
Chen Wei smiled lightly and said, "Alright, stop flattering me. This was a 'kill one thousand, lose eight hundred' move for me too! Didn't you see that I'm still down over $30,000 on VIPS?"
"That's why I say you're wise and strategic, boss! This move should be called a 'self-sacrifice strategy,' right? If you hadn't voluntarily taken that $30,000 loss, Luo Chen wouldn't have been fooled so easily!"
Zhou Yi kept praising.
But he was right. If Chen Wei hadn't taken the loss, Luo Chen wouldn't have given up so quickly.
Pan Zhiyao and the others chatted excitedly for a while before returning to their desks, shutting down their trading software, and opening games.
Chen Wei whispered to Zhou Yi, "Let Jiaqi know she's done a great job this time. We'll properly thank her later."
If it weren't for Xue Jiaqi informing them about Luo Chen's positions, Chen Wei wouldn't have played Luo Chen so easily.
Zhou Yi waved his hand, saying, "No need for you to worry about that, boss. I'll thank her properly myself."
Seeing the sly smile on Zhou Yi's face, Chen Wei knew how he planned to express his gratitude. Shaking his head with a smile, he added, "Since Luo Chen lost so much, he'll likely blame Xu Lin. This is the perfect chance to show those photos to Luo Chen."
"Got it. I'll tell Kiki right away."
Zhou Yi nodded in agreement.
If Xu Lin had taken the money and stayed quiet, Chen Wei might have been lenient. But since she took the money and continued to leak information, there was no mercy for her.
Meanwhile, Xu Lin sat at her desk, looking distressed.
She felt a bit guilty about Chen Wei losing over $30,000 on VIPS.
But that wasn't the main issue. The main issue was that Luo Chen lost over $280,000!
Although Xu Lin believed she had done her best, she knew Luo Chen's temperament well.
She worried that Luo Chen would blame her just like Yuan Tong did!
Xu Lin wanted to explain the situation to Luo Chen but didn't know where to start.
For a while, her mind was in turmoil.
Luo Chen sat quietly in his chair, leaning back, eyes closed, silently reflecting on the recent trade.
He had just asked Wang Fang to send him screenshots of all the positions from Team Seven.
Sure enough, Zheng Junpeng and Zhou Yi were all profitable on VIPS!
Luo Chen quickly realized what had happened.
He had been played by Chen Wei!
Chen Wei had stopped out those 800 positions to create an illusion, making him think a third party was entering!
It was this misjudgment that led him to stop out without further resistance!
But why were they positioned at $12.89?
Was it a coincidence? Or did they know about his orders?
Naturally, Luo Chen suspected Xu Lin.
After all, she was the only one who could see his positions!
Although it was also possible that some other risk manager had sneaked a look, Xu Lin remained the prime suspect.
As he pondered this, his phone rang.
Luo Chen picked it up and saw it was a message from Xue Jiaqi!
Several photos and a video!
It was of Chen Wei and Xu Lin having dinner together.
Although not very clear, it was still recognizable.
After sending the photos, Xue Jiaqi added, "Brother Chen, I took these when I was out with friends on Saturday. Please take a look."
She didn't say much more.
"Got it. Keep this quiet," Luo Chen replied.
"Understood," was Xue Jiaqi's brief response.
Then Luo Chen repeatedly watched the video and photos.
Especially the part where Chen Wei handed Xu Lin an envelope.
There was no longer any doubt in Luo Chen's mind!
A cold smile appeared on his lips as he muttered, "Fine, you played the treachery card on me! Too bad I figured it out!"
On her end, Xue Jiaqi sent an 'OK' emoji to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi showed it to Chen Wei, and they both shared a knowing smile.
"Now we just wait and see what happens."
Chen Wei said.
"Boss, if Xu Lin leaves, who do you think Luo Chen will appoint as the new risk manager for Team Three?" Zhou Yi suddenly thought of this and asked.
They exchanged glances.
Then burst into laughter simultaneously.
"If Luo Chen really appoints Jiaqi as the risk manager for Team Three, that would truly be... a pleasant surprise!"
Chen Wei said with a peculiar expression.
Xu Jiaqi was a bit anxious. She understood the intent behind Chen Wei asking her to send the photos and video, but since this was her first time doing something like this, she naturally felt nervous. However, the situation was beyond her control now, so she tried not to think about it too much.
Zhou Yi, on the other hand, was contemplating how to share this good news with the others. Thinking about the 80,000 yuan he had just made, Zhou Yi was ecstatic. Today's trading felt like picking money up off the ground.
Taking advantage of a break, Zhou Yi shared the good news with Lv Tinghai, Yu Jia, and the others.
The possibility wasn't out of the question; in fact, it was quite high! Xu Jiaqi reporting to Luo Chen would surely earn her some of his trust. If Xu Jiaqi were to replace Xu Lin as the risk controller of Team Three, it would be like a gift delivered straight to them.
"That would be Luo Chen walking right into our trap!" Zhou Yi chuckled sinisterly.
"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's see how things unfold," Chen Wei advised.
Zhou Yi, eager and excited, immediately began discussing plans with Xu Jiaqi.
It was already past 2 PM, and Chen Wei's skills had leveled up again. At level five, he now had a two-minute rollback time. However, having already used it twice today, he decided to save his last opportunity for a crucial moment. So, he shut down his computer and took a taxi home to sleep.
After sleeping until noon, he got up, had lunch, and checked in with Lian Yingying, who informed him that the company's registration process was going smoothly. They chatted for a bit before Chen Wei started his trading day at 1 PM.
Initially, Chen Wei observed the stock index, which showed a weak opening and a downward trend. Seizing the opportunity, he shorted twenty contracts and made 120,000 yuan. With the stock index stabilizing, Chen Wei turned his attention to copper trading.
The copper market was steady, with a narrow range of twenty points up and down throughout the afternoon. Chen Wei traded actively, making around 200,000 yuan by the end of the day. In total, he earned 320,000 yuan today.
In the evening, Chen Wei went to the office and learned from Zhou Yi that everything was normal on the risk control side, with Xu Lin still working as usual. Chen Wei wasn't in a hurry. Even if Luo Chen wanted to fire Xu Lin, it wouldn't happen overnight. Such decisions ultimately needed Wang Wentao's approval.
Chen Wei was curious how Wang Wentao would react if he found out about Luo Chen wanting to fire Xu Lin. He probably wouldn't oppose it, right? If Chen Wei were Wang Wentao, he'd take Xu Lin under his wing, leveraging her resentment towards Luo Chen as a natural ally. Moreover, Xu Lin had some connections within the risk control team, which could provide valuable information for Wang Wentao.
Of course, these were just Chen Wei's speculations. What Wang Wentao would actually do was beyond Chen Wei's guess. Wang Wentao was much more cunning and deep-minded than Luo Chen. If not for Luo Chen being backed by Chu Zhaoyun, Wang Wentao wouldn't even need ten Luo Chens to play with.
That night, Xu Lin behaved, not attempting to gather information from Wang Fang. It seemed Luo Chen no longer trusted her. Chen Wei felt at ease and traded for the rest of the night, earning another 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
The next few days were uneventful. Chen Wei encountered Luo Chen at the company once, who smiled and nodded at him, which Chen Wei found disdainful.
"Stop pretending to be all composed!" Chen Wei thought. "If you were really composed, you wouldn't have been so desperate to mess with me on Monday! You fell into your own trap and now you're acting like nothing happened."
To Chen Wei, Luo Chen seemed like a child trying to appear mature by wearing adult clothes. Chen Wei ignored him completely.
On Friday, around noon, Lian Yingying arrived with a young woman named Wang Xinyi, who was handling the company's registration paperwork.
"Tomorrow, I could come over and sign everything together. There's no need for you to make a special trip today. We're not in a rush," Chen Wei said with a smile while signing the documents.
"Time is money, haven't you heard? Sign everything now so Xiao Wang can finish all the paperwork this afternoon, and we'll be done with it. Why drag it out until next week?" Lian Yingying replied as she wandered around Chen Wei's small apartment.
Chen Wei smiled and said nothing more. After signing the documents, Wang Xinyi left in a hurry, while Lian Yingying stayed behind.
"You keep your place pretty tidy. I thought a single guy's apartment would be a mess," Lian Yingying teased.
"I don't have many belongings. How messy could it get?" Chen Wei laughed.
Chen Wei was quite meticulous about his living space, cleaning it once a week. Since he didn't have many things, the apartment looked neat and clean.
"This place is nice, but it's too far from work. Do you have a driver's license?" Lian Yingying asked.
"Not yet. I'll sign up for lessons when I have some free time," Chen Wei replied.
"Without a car, it will be very inconvenient," Lian Yingying frowned.
"I'll rent a place in the east side of the city, or maybe even buy a place there next month," Chen Wei said.
This month, he had already earned over two million dollars, and with one week left, he might even surpass three million. His commission was 80% this month, so next month he would have over ten million yuan in income! Combined with his current 3 million, he'd have around 20 million.
After paying the two million yuan security deposit and investing another five million, he'd still have over ten million left—plenty to buy a house in the east side.
However, Chen Wei wasn't in a hurry to buy a house in the east side. He wanted to first buy a place in Shuiqing Muhua and then invest the rest in his company to hire more traders for futures trading. Buying a house could wait.
Lian Yishan probably wouldn't rush him into buying a villa either…
"I remember my dad has two vacant villas…" Lian Yingying mused.
Chen Wei quickly interrupted, "No, no, no. I'll rent a place. I wouldn't dare live in your dad's villa!"
"Why not?" Lian Yingying asked.
"Think about it. I've already 'taken' his daughter, and now I'm supposed to take his house too? That wouldn't end well," Chen Wei said with a peculiar expression.
He wasn't kidding. Even with things as they were, Lian Yishan was ready to break his legs. Moving into his villa would be pushing it too far.
Lian Yingying blushed, gave Chen Wei a playful glare, and said shyly, "You're so annoying!"
But she didn't insist any further.
At noon, they ordered takeout and had a meal together. After eating, Chen Wei got back to trading while Lian Yingying watched curiously from the side.
Watching Chen Wei make thousands of yuan in seconds, Lian Yingying was stunned. It really was like picking money up off the ground…
