Chapter 173 Turning the Tide



In the spacious and bright company office, employees sat together, hurriedly eating simple boxed lunches. After the short lunch break, everyone took a short rest to recharge and prepare for the intense challenges that would follow when the market opened in the afternoon.

As the afternoon trading session began, a tense atmosphere instantly filled the air. Just half an hour later, something astonishing happened—a staggering ten billion dollars flooded into the market like a tidal wave. This move caused a huge uproar, shaking the entire financial world.

Meanwhile, Ross and his adversaries launched a fierce counterattack, mobilizing substantial funds to decisively short the market, resulting in a deluge of sell orders. Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Li Baolong remained remarkably calm. He decisively issued orders to absorb all the sell orders, demonstrating his strong resolve and decisiveness.

In this breathtaking contest, Li Baolong has purchased a total of US$40 billion and over HK$10 billion in assets today. Liu Na, standing nearby, was already drenched in sweat, fully aware of the enormous risks involved in this transaction. After all, US$40 billion is no small sum, especially with a leverage ratio of ten! Just imagining the scale of such an operation is enough to send chills down one's spine.

However, despite the current tense and exciting situation, this battle is far from over. Tomorrow, an even more brutal battle will unfold. Li Baolong is well aware of the strength of Ross's foundation; they hold over two hundred billion US dollars, making them a behemoth in the financial battlefield. But Li Baolong shows no sign of backing down. Instead, he secretly prays that his initial attack today will ignite a bullish sentiment among major investment companies in Hong Kong.

Moreover, Li Baolong knew clearly that this investment was not just about personal gain or loss, but a high-stakes gamble closely linked to the fate of the nation. He silently prayed in his heart: "May our actions receive the support and assistance of our motherland, and may this financial battle become a crucial turning point in reversing the nation's destiny."

As night fell and the city lights came on, the government offices on Hong Kong Island remained brightly lit. Today, a thrilling financial game quietly unfolded, with Li Baolong as the protagonist. His astonishingly large-scale buying spree, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, created ripples and greatly boosted the confidence of market participants.

At this moment, an emergency meeting is being held in the government conference room. The attendees are serious and focused on discussing strategies for dealing with the stock market after it opens tomorrow. Reliable sources indicate that a steady stream of new funds will flow into the market tomorrow morning, and the government will also decisively intervene, purchasing a batch of high-quality stocks to stabilize the situation.

However, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside, Li Baolong chose to decline the company of numerous beautiful women that night. He knew he needed to calm down and allow his mind and body to fully rest so that he could recharge and prepare for the crucial trading battle the next morning.

Time flies, and a new day dawned in the blink of an eye. As usual, the government office area was orderly, with employees arriving at their posts early, their eyes glued to their computer screens, anxiously awaiting Li Baolong's trading instructions. Finally, with the ringing of the opening bell, the entire market instantly erupted in excitement.

Due to the strong buying in the preceding period, the stock index opened sharply higher and quickly rose by a full percentage point. However, this exciting situation did not last long. In less than a minute, the fund led by Ross suddenly began to sell off its shares on a massive scale, with the speed and quantity of the sell-off astonishing. In just over ten minutes, the previously soaring stock index was abruptly suppressed, not only erasing its previous gains but also falling by more than one percent at one point.

Faced with such a dire situation, Li Baolong remained calm and collected, observing the market's movements. When he determined the time was right, he decisively placed a buy order. Instantly, the sounds of keyboards clicking, telephones ringing, and shouts filled the air, creating a tense yet exciting atmosphere. In the next short half hour, massive sums of money, totaling a staggering ten billion US dollars, flooded into the market! Who would emerge victorious in this fierce battle? Everyone watched with bated breath… and the stock index futures turned positive again.

Li Baolong took a deep breath, slowly pulled out his phone from his pocket, and skillfully dialed Wenwen's number at Longteng Company in the Special Economic Zone. In a steady and firm voice, he said, "Wenwen, immediately prepare to buy all the undervalued stocks in Hong Kong!" After hanging up, Li Baolong stared intently at the constantly fluctuating data on the computer screen, silently praying that this operation would succeed.

Time ticked by, and the midday closing bell was fast approaching. After a morning of intense trading, Li Baolong had invested a total of $20 billion. However, to everyone's dismay, despite his massive purchases, the stock index remained stubbornly unchanged, showing no signs of rising.

After a quick lunch, Li Baolong, without even a moment's rest, threw himself back into the afternoon's trading. Just then, a miracle seemed to strike—shortly after the afternoon opening, the previously sluggish stock market awakened like a sleeping lion, turning positive and surging forward. Many stocks rose by more than five percent, and the entire market presented a scene of prosperity. Even stock index futures followed suit, rising by a full one percent.

Just as everyone was cheering, another unexpected situation arose. Ross and his associates, who had been eyeing Li Baolong with predatory intent, seized the opportunity and launched an even more ferocious attack, initiating a frenzied retaliatory sell-off. In an instant, stock index futures plummeted like a burst dam, and the situation deteriorated rapidly. Faced with this sudden turn of events, Li Baolong acted decisively without hesitation, quickly issuing orders to buy $10 billion to continue supporting the market.

As time passed, the afternoon closing time finally arrived. At this moment, an unbelievable phenomenon unfolded before everyone's eyes: stock index futures remained completely stagnant, showing no signs of life; in stark contrast, stocks surged like wild horses, rising dramatically. Watching this scene, Li Baolong's lips curled into a slight smile, and he thought to himself, "Looks like tomorrow will be quite a spectacle!"
