Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Hang Seng Index, which had previously hit a new low, soared as if it had boarded a rocket, heading straight for the clouds.
In just a few seconds, it surged by 3%, and was still climbing vertically.
"Oh my heavens, what's going on?"
The sudden change in the index stunned everyone. No one knew what had happened, they could only watch with bated breath as the index, which had been down by more than 8%, frantically rose, continuously recovering lost ground.
Only Qin Chuan knew that the Hong Kong government had intervened again, sparing no effort to strike hard at those international speculators.
It was now almost 3:30 PM, and the market would close in half an hour. The Hong Kong government had finally made its move again, employing very sharp tactics, determined to blow up those international short-sellers and curb their arrogant swagger.
However, the index's rise would not be smooth sailing. International speculators would not sit idly by, so as the index began to climb, these forces also started to move.
They rapidly dumped their holdings, trying to force the index down, because only then could they make money.
Meanwhile, the Hong Kong government was buying as much as it could. For a time, the index jumped and swayed, experiencing violent fluctuations.
Under these circumstances, retail investors dared not act, and could only watch. This was no longer a game they could participate in; they could only leave it to fate.
At 3:45 PM, the Hang Seng Index was still down by 4%. Qin Chuan's two million yuan, with a tenfold leverage, had yielded a profit of 800,000 yuan, a considerable sum.
He had almost perfectly executed a low buy.
"The bulls and bears are fighting so fiercely. Who will win?"
Xu Yang and Mao Huasheng murmured to themselves.
"Mao Huasheng, add another three million, with tenfold leverage. Keep going long!"
Suddenly, Qin Chuan's voice rang out.
"Yes, boss!"
Mao Huasheng quickly tapped on the keyboard, and the buy and sell orders were instantly executed.
Qin Chuan had now invested a total of five million yuan, which with tenfold leverage amounted to fifty million.
This was no small sum!
"Mr. Qin, you're still bullish?"
Xu Yang turned back and looked at Qin Chuan.
"Yes! I believe there are some people who won't let this index fall."
Qin Chuan said with certainty.
"Someone..."
Xu Yang and Mao Huasheng keenly caught the key word. A glint flashed in both their eyes.
"Mr. Qin certainly knows quite a few special secrets!"
Xu Yang said, hinting at something.
"Not really, I just like to read some newspapers or entertainment gossip."
Qin Chuan replied casually.
"It's up! It's up! It's up again!"
Just then, Yang Conglong's shout echoed, his entire demeanor filled with excitement.
Qin Chuan quickly turned his gaze to the computer screen and saw that the index was indeed starting to rise again, from its previous drop of 4% to 3%, and it was still climbing rapidly.
As it was now less than ten minutes to the 4 PM closing time, the battle between the bulls and bears was extremely intense.
At 3:52 PM, the index was only down by 2%. At 3:55 PM, it was down by 1%, and the trend indicated it was still rising.
"Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!"
"Could it be that the Hang Seng Index will turn positive today?"
Yang Conglong, immensely excited, uttered the expletive three times and leaped about on the spot.
This was simply a miracle, and they were witnessing it.
All eyes were fixed on the Hang Seng Index, awaiting the moment a miracle would occur.
Finally, 4 PM arrived. The Hang Seng Index closed with a gain of 0%.
Yes, you read that right, a gain of 0%.
The closing index on Friday was 7224.69, and it remained 7224.69, unchanged.
However, only those who had personally experienced today's violent fluctuations knew how perilous it had been, and how many accounts had suffered huge losses or profits.
"This is simply a miracle!!"
In the large trading room, everyone looked at the closing figures, each one filled with disbelief.
In just one hour, the Hang Seng Index had miraculously recovered its losses from a previous plunge of over 8%.
"Let me see, how much did we earn today?"
Yang Conglong excitedly leaned towards the computer screen, and then his mouth split into a wide grin as he burst into laughter.
The profit in the account was substantial.
Initially, Qin Chuan had invested two million yuan at a dip of over 8% to buy at the bottom. By now, the total profit was over 8%. With a tenfold leverage on a capital of two million, he had profited over 1.7 million yuan.
He then added another three million at a dip of 4%. With the same tenfold leverage, this three million had earned him 4%, which was over 1.2 million yuan.
Together, the total profit was over 2.9 million yuan!
This was undoubtedly another impressive feat, with both bottom-buying attempts incredibly successful, the kind that could be written into textbooks.
In today's highly volatile market, for Qin Chuan to have earned so much with a total investment of only five million yuan, everyone was speechless.
"Stock God, please accept my kowtow, you're too awesome!"
Mao Huasheng looked at Qin Chuan with admiration.
Xu Yang was also astonished. He was not an unworldly person, having worked abroad with a total of twenty years of experience and witnessed many geniuses.
Qin Chuan's current performance embodied the traits of these geniuses: a natural talent with an innate sense for the market, as if divinely favored.
Sometimes, comparing oneself to others was truly maddening.
"Pure luck! Pure luck!"
Qin Chuan smiled humbly, though inwardly he was also very surprised, as in his previous life, he had been a complete novice in the stock market, not even a seasoned investor.
After being reborn in this life, he hadn't even touched stocks or futures, which had led to the embarrassing situation of being teased by his brother-in-law.
He never expected that this time his bottom-buying would be so successful. Qin Chuan felt he had just struck gold, and ultimately, it was due to his foreknowledge as a reborn individual, possessing much advanced information that gave him confidence.
Coupled with the prior profits he had made, even if he had lost money, it wouldn't have mattered. All these factors contributed to his bold move of buying at the bottom this time.
However, these secrets were unknown to anyone else. Whether it was his brother-in-law, Mao Huasheng, or Xu Yang, they looked at him with awe and reverence.
Only after Qin Chuan and Yang Conglong left the brokerage office did the two of them look away with complex expressions.
"Qin Chuan, didn't I say I'd take you somewhere fun last time? I have to go back to the company this afternoon. Wait for my call tonight!"
Yang Conglong said to Qin Chuan.
"Brother Long, if it's just about drinking and picking up girls, then it's unnecessary. You know I'm not as adventurous as you in that regard, besides drinking."
Qin Chuan said with a wry smile.
"Get lost! Who said that if I'm taking you out, it has to be those places!"
Yang Conglong felt insulted and retorted loudly.
"Oh, so you really have somewhere fun to recommend?"
Qin Chuan's interest was piqued.
Yang Conglong gave a mysterious smile. "You'll know when the time comes tonight!"
"I'm leaving now, bye-bye!"
He then started his sports car and sped away, disappearing in a flash.
