"Brother Chen, you almost scared me to death just now. I thought we were going to lose for sure."
"Yes, I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest."
"Fortunately, everything is under Brother Chen's control."
Wang Rui, Li Kaile, and the others, who were tense just a second ago, suddenly relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Zhou Chen said it was fine, they believed he definitely wouldn't lose to Li Xiaolong.
"Brother Chen, then when he just advised others to sell off their shares, didn't that mean..."
At this moment, Li Wei spoke, getting to the heart of the matter, which made Wang Rui, Xu Dalong, Zhang Hao and the others realize something, and they couldn't help but show a wicked smile.
If Zhou Chen is still confident of winning the bet, it means that the reality will develop in the exact opposite direction from what Li Xiaolong said, and those who sold off their shares will miss another opportunity to make money.
When that time comes, the more these people are grateful to Li Xiaolong now, the more they will hate him.
"Haha, he's going to shoot himself in the foot. He wanted to gain favors from others, but in the end, he offended everyone. It's hilarious."
"Serves him right. Blame him for betting with Brother Chen."
"I feel sorry for those who keep changing their minds. They thought they could make some money this time, but unfortunately, they made the wrong choice every time."
Lu Ye, Li Kaile, and others whispered among themselves.
They all realized Li Xiaolong's purpose in bringing this up in public.
This scene was witnessed and heard by everyone near Zhou Chen and the others, and they all showed expressions of relief.
Just now, some of them had wavered and wanted to sell their stocks and instead trade with Li Xiaolong.
Fortunately, no immediate action was taken; otherwise, buying it back now would have cost much more, as the transaction fees alone would have been substantial.
"Investing in stocks is like life; you can't waver. If you're going to gamble, you should stick to one choice. Fortunately, I've always believed in Zhou the Stock God."
A small business owner remarked sincerely, and those around him, upon hearing this, wholeheartedly agreed. This time, they had indeed learned a lesson.
Some people looked embarrassed because they had acted quickly and had already sold all their shares according to Li Xiaolong's deal.
The thought of buying it back again, paying extra fees, and entering at a high price makes me regret it terribly. I feel like I've been wronged.
Damn Li Xiaolong!
Some people have already started to hate Li Xiaolong.
At this moment, Li Xiaolong was unaware that he was touching his burning ears, which must be from those who were thanking him and talking about him.
As for Zhou Chen
He glanced at it only once and then ignored it.
Since Zhou Chen is putting on a brave face and refusing to admit defeat, then he'll wait until the very last moment to let Zhou Chen see an outcome with no suspense, and then he'll give him a good taunt.
What happened in the banquet hall
It appeared on the internet not long after.
In particular, Li Xiaolong's deliberate cryptic remark that a certain stock was about to be shorted sparked a great deal of discussion.
Because everyone can tell that this is a veiled reference to the stock that Zhou Chen bet on.
In an instant, many people liquidated their stock holdings, fearing they would become easy prey for foreign capital.
"I will not sell; I believe in Zhou the stock market guru."
While the vast majority of stock market investors made a 'wise' choice, a group of people still chose to stand firmly on Zhou Chen's side.
"I won't sell either. The stock chosen by Zhou the stock guru has hit the daily limit twice. Who can guarantee that shorting will fail? This time, I won't give up again. I'm going to gamble on it firmly. If I win, I'll be in a club with young models; if I lose, I'll have to work in the sex industry."
"The two of you upstairs, I advise you to be rational. If you sell now, you can still make a profit. Once the scythe of capital comes down, you won't be able to escape even if you want to. Zhou the stock god is good at stock trading, but he is not a real god. If he fails even once, all of us who believe in him will suffer."
“I also suggest selling it. The young master of the Li family has already made it public, which means that the outcome of this gamble is already decided. If we don’t withdraw now, we’ll be idiots. Anyway, I’m not an idiot.”
"The stocks chosen by the young master of the Li family have already surpassed those of the stock market guru Zhou. You don't have much time left to think. Don't be stubborn. People like this often end up in a very bad way, getting hurt badly."
Online, the vast majority of stock investors choose to be conservative. After all, shorting stocks is too scary; it's easy to lose everything at once and not get a single penny back.
They dared not gamble. Secondly, the stock that Li Xiaolong chose was performing well, so why continue to bet on Zhou Chen? Two consecutive limit-up days clearly indicated that this was the stock's most glorious moment, and it was about to decline.
Those who believe in Zhou Chen will continue to believe, and that belief will not change.
Those who didn't believe or wavered were all abandoned immediately.
Zhou Chen was unaware of the online discussions. He told Wang Rui and the others to sit down and not to pay attention to the situation constantly, as the outcome of the bet would take some time to determine.
The bullets will take a while to travel.
If he remembers correctly, the foreign stocks he chose next started to decline, right?
Just as Zhou Chen had this thought,
Then a cry of alarm came from the crowd: "It's crashing! Short selling has started! They're going to fleece us!"
Swish, swish, swish...
All eyes were once again focused on the screen, where Zhou Chen's bet had fallen, while Li Xiaolong's bet was still rising, the contrast was stark.
“Young Master Li is not lying to us, what he said is true.”
"Luckily I just sold them again, otherwise, I would have been taken advantage of and fleeced."
"Young Master Li is amazing. Now, there should be no suspense in the bet."
At this moment, Li Zhenrong and his grandson Li Xiaolong were greeted with grateful glances. Li Xiaolong was very pleased, as he was finally about to defeat Zhou Chen and successfully bring him down from his pedestal to become his stepping stone.
Following Li Xiaolong's gaze, people discovered that Zhou Chen was still sitting there, chatting and laughing with the people around him. This scene surprised many people.
That takes a lot of heart.
Did Zhou Chen not know that the foreign stocks he chose were being shorted?
How can he still laugh?
It must be a forced smile!
Not wanting to lose face, yet unwilling to admit defeat, they could only save face in this way.
Some people were self-righteous and thought they had seen through Zhou Chen's awkward situation.
Despite the attention from everyone present, Wang Rui and the others continued to clink glasses and eat, oblivious to the fact that the food had gone cold, which did not affect their enjoyment.
"Brother Chen, in this situation, is there anything you want to say, or anything you want to say to those clowns who want to see us make a fool of ourselves?"
Wang Rui shouted loudly.
oh?
Zhou Chen's expression flashed, realizing that Wang Rui wanted to mock those who believed in Li Xiaolong. He had an idea and smiled, "There is an ancient poem that is very fitting for the occasion."
Ancient poems?
Everyone pricked up their ears.
"Others laugh at my madness, I laugh at their blindness; I see no tombs of heroes in the Five Mausoleums, only fields tilled without flowers or wine."
