As An Eight Year Old, I Went Into Financial Management Behind My Parents Back

Chapter 32: The Futures Company Is In A Crisis

After receiving the news, Lance asked Shen Mulin to come to his house when he returned.

Coincidentally, Fred and Helen were not at home. After Shen Mulin arrived at Lance’s house, he sat on the sofa in the living room and gulped a mouthful of water. He was probably thirsty.

Seeing this, Lance poured another glass of water and pushed it in front of Shen Mulin.

“Brother-in-law, there’s no hurry. Take your time.”

Shen Mulin took another sip before his dry throat moistened.

Then he couldn’t wait to explain to Lance what had just happened.

“The people from the Market Regulatory Bureau called me over mainly because they think that my account only makes profits and not losses. It really doesn’t make sense. They think that I’ve violated the rules.”

“But don’t worry, I explained it to them easily. In addition, they were just suspicious and didn’t have any evidence at all, so they let me out.”

“You have no idea. My mouth is dry from talking to them.”

After Shen Mulin finished speaking, he paused and looked hesitant.

But in the end, he still said to Lance, “Lance, if there’s really no other way, let’s keep a low profile for the time being. Since the Market Regulatory Authority has come looking for us, it means that we’re being targeted. Perhaps there’s more than one group that has noticed.”

This was complicated. It was better to be careful.

The Market Regulatory Authority was only a power on the surface and not a criminal party. That was why he could resolve it so easily.

But if a hidden force noticed them, it would be difficult.

Hearing this, Lance thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

“Yes, then I’ll restrain myself in the stock market for the time being.”

Although he was prepared to keep a low profile, Lance had always upheld the concept of not losing money.

Why would he throw money in for no reason and let others play with it just because he was invited in for tea?

…

After this incident, Lance restrained himself a lot.

At least he did not earn as much as he had a few days ago.

However, Lance quickly realized something was wrong.

He realized that whenever he chose stocks, someone would always choose with him!

The exact same operation, with no attempt to disguise it. It was hard for Lance not to notice.

Isn’t this too bold? Publicly cheating?

After this incident, Lance stopped purchasing stocks.

He thought about it and finally came up with the power most likely to do this—the Futures Company.

After all, other than the Futures Company, no one else could do the exact operation as him every time.

Unless there was a mole behind the Futures Company, but that possibility was slim.

“That’s sneaky.”

Lance felt that the Futures Company must have noticed his operating record and that it was always profitable. That was why they had crooked thoughts.

Although this was no loss to him, Lance was unhappy.

Why did he have to take risks to earn money, but these people could easily earn money with him without taking any risks?

There was no such logic!

Thinking of this, Lance told Shen Mulin about this matter.

After figuring out the whole story, Shen Mulin sent a message to Lance.

Shen Mulin: What do we do now?

Shen Mulin: Anyway, we’ve earned enough. Why don’t we deliberately invest in stocks that are easy to fall and let them know that we’re not without losses? That way, we can resolve this matter.

Lance shook his head at Shen Mulin’s suggestion.

Could he lose money? This did not conform to his money-making philosophy: If he could earn money, he would never lose money!

Lance thought for a moment and suddenly had a Will-O-Wisp. He thought of a good idea.

After typing, he sent a message to the other party.

Lance: I don’t think it’s appropriate. Why should we lose money?

Lance: But I’ve come up with a good idea.

Lance: The Futures Company is always keeping an eye on my trading records, but it’s obvious that they are using orders submitted by their top clients. So if we stop trading, they won’t know when to sell and they’ll be like ants on a hot pan, jumping around in a frenzy!

This method was quite ruthless, but it also made the other party suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Moreover, Lance and Shen Mulin had at least 50 million yuan in their hands now.

With this sum of money, they could simply lay back and enjoy themselves.

The other party replied instantly.

Shen Mulin: It had to be you.

…

For the next period of time, Lance leisurely rested and spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun. He did not continue to buy any more stocks.

While Lance and Shen Mulin were enjoying their comfortable life, the Futures Company was already in chaos.

In the conference room on the top floor of the Futures Company, a group of senior executives looked at each other in confusion and bewilderment.

“I told you it was a bad idea to do this!”

The first to break the silence was an old man with white hair. He was General Manager Liu, a veteran who had served in the Futures Company for two terms. When the company’s top management suggested following Lance’s timing to buy stocks, he had vigorously opposed it.

As it turned out, he was right.

“Elder Liu, now that things have already happened, it’s too late to talk about right or wrong. Why don’t we discuss how to resolve this? What do you think?”

The person who spoke had a pointed mouth and a chin like an ape’s. His tone was also sulky and mean.

He was the rising star of the Futures Company, Vice President Shen.

He was also the one who came up with the plan this time.

At the beginning when the company made money, he was complacent and thought that he had hit the jackpot.

But now he was in a state of anxiety and his head was spinning.

“Vice President Shen, this was your idea, not Elder Liu’s. Why do you want to talk to Elder Liu now that things have gone wrong?”

The assistant behind Elder Liu spoke indignantly.

Vice President Shen was speechless. His face was so unhappy and gloomy.

After a while, Vice President Shen stammered, “Then, then aren’t we from the same company? Shouldn’t we share joy and sorrow?”

“I haven’t seen you in the same boat.”

Elder Liu’s assistant Liu’s response was superb. This time, Vice President Shen was so angry that he panted, but he did not know how to refute.

“Done!”

The young CEO at the head of the table tapped the table for silence.

When the surroundings fell silent, he smiled at General Manager Liu.

“Elder Liu, Vice President Shen used inappropriate words just now. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

“You’re very experienced. Now that the company is caught up in this situation, please don’t be estranged from us. Please advise us.”

The fact that the high and mighty CEO could do this was enough to show the severity of the situation at hand.

Elder Liu originally did not want to interfere in this matter, but when he heard what the CEO had said, he let out a heavy sigh.

“Now, some companies have to step forward and spend money to invite the manipulator behind this mysterious account to their company.”

“Moreover, the attitude must be respectful!”

“We’re the ones who violated the rules this time. We can’t put on airs. We have to lower ourselves to show humility!”

Elder Liu’s words made everyone’s expressions change.

He wanted their top clients to talk humbly to a commoner?

Although they were all dissatisfied, there was indeed no second solution to this situation.

In the end, it was the CEO who made the tough decision and spoke up.

“Let’s do as Elder Liu says!”
