Trading continued sporadically until half past two. Despite their efforts, the newly invested funds couldn’t break the 21 yuan integer mark and gradually showed signs of fatigue.
Han Lie thought for a mont, then instructed Jiao Fangyan, "Place the remaining positions scattered between 20.90 and 20.99 yuan, and let Old Xu decide."
By then, Han Lie had already recovered 475 million in cash, with a little over 100 million remaining in holdings—not even 50,000 shares.
If Old Xu wanted to push the price up, he would directly absorb Han Lie’s remaining chips.
If he wanted to shake out the market at this price level, Han Lie could simply pull his sell orders; dumping everything wouldn’t significantly impact things. It was up to Old Xu to decide how this would play out.
But Old Xu executed a feint. When the stock price fell back to 20.01 yuan, SLAM! Two large buy orders of ten thousand shares each hit the market, instantly pulling the stock price to 20.91 yuan.
In reality, there were very few pending orders in that range, and actual transactions amounted to less than ten thousand shares, but market enthusiasm was ignited nonetheless. The steep, straight line on the intraday chart was dizzying to behold.
A deluge of small orders began to pour in, like ants nibbling at a tree, working their way up through Han Lie’s sell orders.
They nibbled up to 20.95 yuan. Just as montum began to wane, another large buy order for ten thousand shares appeared, instantly devouring the 8,000 shares listed at the current selling price.
Retail investors and new entrants went into a frenzy, fearing they’d be fleeced if they were a second too slow, and frantically bought upwards.
In less than half a minute, the stock price officially broke through the 21 yuan integer mark.
With that, all of Han Lie’s holdings were cleared out.
In the end, he pocketed 579.8 million yuan, netting a whopping 45% profit.
If he had been fully invested from the beginning, putting all 400 million in when the price was below 13 yuan, he could have made nearly 60%—an even more outrageous sum. But Han Lie would never regret such things. In trading, going all-in is the most dangerous move, bar none.
The custors at the proverbial ’rooftop dumpling shop’ are all aggressive types: they double down on full positions when the market falls, borrow money to cover their losses, or use leverage when the situation is unclear. It’s not easy to make money, but is it hard to die? You might not make much even if you’re right a hundred tis, but get it wrong once, and it’s all over. Therefore, a smart person always leaves themselves an out. The principle that one’s margin for error must be large cannot be stressed enough, even a hundred tis over. In his previous life, Han Lie had been so inept, nearly getting wiped out, yet he never dared to dream of using leverage to make a coback. That was also why the web novels he wrote were always short...
"Alright, work’s over! Let’s go have a celebration banquet!" Han Lie declared with a sweep of his arm, deciding to give the whole company a holiday.
In just one week, they had effortlessly achieved the entire year’s profit target. Not only were the employees ecstatic, but the shareholders also couldn’t hold back their excitent.
Second Sister Jin called just two minutes later, "Today, I’ll arrange everything. Everyone must co!"
The successful kickoff had concluded, and it certainly rited a celebration. Han Lie originally thought a group dinner followed by so karaoke would suffice. But boy, was he wrong—Fat Lamb Sister wouldn’t do anything half-hearted! She contacted her own second sister, and they threw an incredibly lavish party at the Huangpu Club.
Not only did all the shareholders attend with their entourages, but Second Sister Jin also arranged a massive spectacle. She brought around fifty male and female models and invited most of Tangren dia along with a good portion of Magic Capital’s Emperor Entertainnt!
When Han Lie turned around and suddenly saw a young Nazha timidly following behind Hu Ge, he was stunned for a mont.
Wow! Second Sister, are your connections really that wild?!
Turning his head again, he saw the round-faced President Cai heading straight toward the core circle with Wu Qilong and his wife, Liu Shuangshi.
Not far away, Chef Xie and a starlet with the surna Huang were enthusiastically chatting with Second Sister Jin. anwhile, her husband, Yang Zhen, seed distracted, his eyes fixed on Panzi, who was clearly the center of attention.
Han Lie discreetly scanned the room, feeling overwheld—there was simply too much to take in!
He had always known the financial and entertainnt circles were intertwined, but he hadn’t expected them to be *this* close. In his past life, he had been too insignificant, always the one taking hits, and rarely present at such opulent, star-studded occasions.
And now a new question arose: In this chaotic and extravagant social scene of Magic Capital, where do I, just starting out, actually stand?
Han Lie took a sip of champagne, silently retreated two steps to the rest area, and calmly observed everything around him.
