Before the market opened, Li Muchen, with a solemn expression, carefully selected dozens of Taiwanese stocks. He then called his broker and said calmly, "After the market opens, help me buy these dozens of stocks and then short sell them all."
The broker on the other end of the phone couldn't help but gasp and said in surprise, "Mr. Li, are you kidding? The Taiwan stock market is doing so well right now and has been growing. Isn't it too risky to short sell at this time?"
Li Muchen frowned, his voice firm and powerful: "Don't ask so many questions, just do as I say! I have thought it over carefully, this is my decision, you must execute it!"
The agent heard the determination in Li Muchen's words, hesitated for a moment, and replied: "Okay, Mr. Li, since you are so sure, I will follow your instructions."
The broker was completely bewildered, completely unable to understand Li Muchen's moves. He pondered inwardly: Li Muchen's long position in WTI crude oil futures two months ago was pure luck, thanks to the unexpected downing of Persian Airlines Flight 655, which had made him a huge profit. But this move now was simply a mess!
He looked at the list of dozens of Taiwanese stocks that Li Muchen had requested to buy and short, his brow furrowed, and he shook his head. These stocks were clearly performing very well in the Taiwanese market, rising rapidly. How could they possibly fall? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Li Muchen had been too impulsive and blind this time.
The agent sighed inwardly: This young tycoon must have been blinded by his previous success and become blindly confident. He's bound to lose a lot of money this time, and maybe even suffer a serious loss of vitality.
As an agent, I raised questions, but the other party was adamant and I had no choice but to comply. I hope this isn't a major disaster, otherwise my reputation might be affected.
Oh, I really don't understand this rich man's thinking. He can't be so lucky every time he encounters an unexpected event! Is it possible that he has all the good luck in the world? If he can be so lucky this time, I might as well make a Buddha statue with his photo and worship it devoutly every day.
Humph, how can anyone always have smooth sailing, as if divinely assisted? This time, the Taiwan stock market is so bright, yet he's going against the grain. I think he's probably going to stumble this time, and suffer a huge loss!
A little before ten o'clock, all the transaction reports came back from Taiwan at lightning speed. When Li Muchen's eyes fell on the clear lines of words that marked the successful transaction, his heart, which had been hanging high and tormented, finally settled down like a huge rock.
Li Muchen sat quietly in the bank's VIP room. His expression was serious and his eyes focused as he called his broker. He said solemnly, "The news of this successful transaction is of great significance. I ask that you help me keep it a secret. If it is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous."
The agent on the other end of the line responded quickly and firmly, "Mr. Li, don't worry. I guarantee with my professional ethics that I will keep this a secret and won't let any information leak out."
Li Muchen continued, "Thank you for your hard work. I will reward you handsomely after the task is completed."
After hanging up the phone, Li Muchen turned to the bank employee next to him, his expression still serious, and reminded him again: "This situation is special and extremely important to me. The news must not be leaked."
The staff member nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Mr. Li, don't worry. I understand the seriousness of the matter."
Li Muchen smiled and handed the staff a red envelope, saying, "This is 5,000 yuan, a small token of my gratitude. Thank you for your help."
The staff member was taken aback for a moment, a flash of surprise and delight in his eyes. Then, he quickly accepted the red envelope with both hands, a smile plastered on his face. He said even more enthusiastically, "Mr. Li, you're so polite. It's my honor to serve you. Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone. Even if someone asks, I'll find a way to evade them. You trust me so much, I won't let you down!"
