After returning home, Li Baolong meticulously planned out his operations for the next day. Once he finished, he calmed himself and began meditating, repeatedly reciting the Seven-Seven Mantra.
The next day, Li Baolong arrived at the brokerage office in high spirits. Upon entering the VIP trading room, he poured himself a cup of tea, then calmly turned on his computer and sat down. He noticed that there were very few people trading in the room; the market was probably sluggish, and many were hesitant to make any moves. One VIP trader was even muttering, "Trading stocks these days is like licking blood from a knife's edge—the risks are just too great."
Li Baolong ignored all that, his eyes glued to the trading session. Seeing that Er'an Technology opened two points higher, he knew today was probably the final battle, and he felt the stock would hit its daily limit before the midday close. So he quickly placed an order, buying all the money he had. And wouldn't you know it, Er'an Technology surged from the opening bell, and Li Baolong was lucky; when the price rose by three percent, his 300,000 yuan was fully traded in three installments. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, picking up his tea and watching the market. Sure enough, by the midday close, Er'an Technology had indeed hit its daily limit. He had completed his mission a day ahead of schedule, and Li Baolong was overjoyed, in an exceptionally good mood.
After leaving the brokerage office, he hailed a taxi and headed straight to Sister Honghong's house. Downstairs, he bought her favorite braised pig ears and chicken feet. Once there, the two sat down and chatted over a meal. Li Baolong told Sister Honghong about using her 50,000 yuan to buy stocks, but he didn't mention a word about the more than 800,000 yuan in his own account. He knew that this was something he could only keep to himself, even with his close relationship with Sister Honghong. If word got out, it would be a huge mess, potentially causing a lot of trouble.
Honghong had to go to the stage to help out that evening, so Li Baolong went home. After returning home, he didn't rest, but stared at the cats and dogs, wondering if he could find some inspiration from these little guys.
The next day, Friday, Li Baolong finished breakfast and leisurely walked into the brokerage. In the lobby, his eyes swept over the stock price of Er'an Technology. Good heavens, just as he expected, it had hit the daily limit. At that point, no one had a chance to buy in anymore. Many retail investors, upon hearing the news, were filled with regret, slapping their thighs repeatedly, lamenting that they had missed a golden opportunity to make money.
Li Baolong was overjoyed, secretly thinking that this deal was in the bag. If it could rise by 10% every day, the stock price would be around 15 yuan in half a month. He silently calculated the time, planning to make a quick profit and rake in a fortune. By then, he would have over four million yuan. He could buy back in at around five yuan, and then watch it rise to eighty yuan. Just thinking about it made him ecstatic. This deal was something he had never dared to dream of before; it was like a windfall, a huge windfall!
After returning home, Li Baolong lay down on the sofa and began to fantasize. He thought to himself that when he really had money in the future, he would have to plan how to enjoy life. First, he would buy a spacious and luxurious house, and a super cool luxury car, so he could show off when he went out. Then, he thought about the women around him, and his thoughts started to wander. He imagined buying a house for each of them, so they would all revolve around him. The more he thought about it, the more beautiful and excited he became, with all sorts of ideas playing out like a movie, one after another. As a result, before he knew it, Li Baolong drifted off to sleep, a smug smile still on his lips, perhaps living the life of luxury he had imagined in his dreams.
For the past two weeks, Li Baolong hasn't been attending classes much. He only goes to school occasionally to register, just to let the teachers and classmates know he's still there and nothing's wrong. Every time he goes to school, he's never empty-handed; he carries all sorts of expensive fruits and snacks, making sure everyone, teachers and students, has some.
Li Baolong stared at the market value of his stock account every day, feeling incredibly pleased and overjoyed. His stock portfolio was now worth over four million yuan. With tomorrow being the last trading day of the month, Li Baolong already had a plan: to sell one-third of his stocks as soon as the market opened.
Early Friday morning, Li Baolong took a taxi to the business office. Once there, he did the usual routine: he turned on his computer, sat down, leisurely sipped his tea, and then quietly waited for the market to open.
A dozen minutes later, the opening bell finally rang. Sure enough, Er'an Technology maintained its strong upward trend, hitting the daily limit. Li Baolong's eyes lit up; he had an idea and immediately sold 1.5 million yuan worth of shares. Wow, he hadn't expected the shares to be snapped up by retail investors so quickly; it seemed there were quite a few people wanting to buy. Li Baolong didn't hesitate and sold another 1.5 million yuan worth. This time, things took a turn for the worse. The previously solid daily limit was broken, and the stock price began to fluctuate wildly, though it generally hovered around the daily limit.
With the market closing near noon, Li Baolong seized the opportunity and sold all his remaining 1.2 million shares and Sister Honghong's 200,000 shares at a price two percent lower than the daily limit. Having completed his plan, he breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
After lunch, Li Baolong, as usual, bought a copy of "Reference News" and returned to the VIP room. Once inside, he sat down in his seat, leisurely reading the newspaper while sipping tea.
The situation changed drastically the moment the afternoon trading session began. Er'an Technology's stock price plummeted, like a rollercoaster ride, opening sharply lower. Immediately afterward, a flood of sell orders poured in. Within just twenty minutes, the stock had hit its daily limit down. Seeing this, Li Baolong felt a chill run down his spine, thinking to himself with lingering fear, "These people are truly ruthless. They're decisive and ruthless in their actions. In this market, it's incredibly difficult for ordinary retail investors to make money from stocks; it's practically playing with fire."
