"Mr. Zhao, how much are we acquiring? The shares of Youming Ya Group have dropped by more than eight percent."

The subordinate was extremely excited; this was a huge opportunity.

Huadu's Youming Ya Group had always been a powerful company. He had never expected that one day he would be able to participate in a plan to devour such a behemoth.

"Let's throw in one hundred million to test the waters," Zhao Diao thought for a moment, considering his own assets. He had roughly two hundred million. He decided to try with half first, besides, President Gao could still prepare tens of billions.

"Alright."

The subordinate, excited, immediately ran out to make a phone call to arrange the operation.

When two nurses heard the astronomical sum of "one hundred million," their eyes immediately lit up.

They didn't really love Zhao Diao, the "central air conditioning" - they were only after his money.

"Hehe, what are you looking at me for? Wait until I make a killing this time, and I'll buy you a duplex apartment."

Zhao Diao enjoyed the adoring gazes from the nurses, and said with a proud smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, I really love you."

While saying this, a nurse unbuttoned Zhao Diao's shirt and started kissing him.

On the other side, Huo Hao, who had just finished downloading the latest videos and was watching them with relish, glanced at the stock trend chart and let out a surprised chuckle, quickly followed by a burst of laughter: "Haha, Zhaoda Group has started making its move."

"What the heck? They just acquired twenty million straight up?"

"Based on common sense, they must be planning to spend at least one hundred million."

The two looked at each other, sharing a tacit understanding of a successful plot.

Snake Swallowing Whale turned to Lin Hai and said, "Brother Lin, I sold that one hundred million we just bought in secret. We can't have too many retail investors, I split it into 5 accounts, otherwise, it would be seen through."

Lin Hai nodded, he didn't understand these things.

Ten minutes later, Huo Hao chuckled and said, "Brother Lin, after deducting the cost and fees, we netted one percent, one million in hand."

"Sh*t? One million in the account in just ten minutes?"

Lin Hai's eyes widened. Was this trading stocks or robbing a bank?

"We buy in at a lower price and sell when it goes up, it's just small-time for now. Watch, Brother Lin, the real drama is still to come."

Twenty minutes later, when Zhao Diao heard from his subordinate that the shares of Youming Ya Group had suddenly risen by 0.5 percent,

"Damn, lost five hundred thousand!" Zhao Diao was immensely frustrated.

The two nurses' eyes sparkled again. Even losing five hundred thousand, he was so calm. They would have to serve him well. Perhaps offering themselves tonight could mean a house and car.

"Mr. Zhao, should we buy more? The subordinates' analysis suggests this is just a backlash before a major fall."

Zhao Diao thought about it; President Gao had brought him a professional, the analysis should be correct.

"What does he think?"

"He says it's just small-time and not worth his intervention. It's up to you."

"Then buy another one hundred million," Zhao Diao thought for a moment and then said.

"Understood, Mr. Zhao."

In front of the computer screen, Huo Hao and Snake Swallowing Whale analyzed the market, then said: "Brother Lin, let's reinvest all the money we just earned."

One hundred million re-entered, just as it had risen by another 0.5 percent.

Zhao Diao's subordinate was slow on the uptake. By the time they bought in again, they had already netted another five hundred and fifty thousand on this side.

"Sh*t, one hundred and fifty-five thousand in twenty minutes!" Lin Hai watched, dumbfounded.

According to their previous agreement to split with Huo Hao and the others, he would still get at least seven hundred thousand.

After dividing it among Huahua, Xiaocang, and Wei Shengjin, including himself, at least seventeen to eighteen thousand each.

And this was just the beginning.

Before long, the subordinate, wiping sweat, reported: "Mr. Zhao, we lost another five hundred thousand."

"Damn!"

Zhao Diao almost cursed out loud, his heart aching. Over one hundred million lost in twenty minutes, anyone would be enraged.

"What's going on?"

"Today's market is pretty weird."

Zhao Diao's face darkened: "Could it be Mingya's people stirring up trouble in secret?"

His subordinate shook his head: "The big shot analyzed just now, saying this is a normal uptrend, nothing to fear. He suggests you wait a bit, see how the trend goes tomorrow."

"Alright."

Zhao Diao could only hope tomorrow would be better.

Right after the subordinate left, Gao Dashang's call came through.

"President Gao, what can I do for you? I just lost over a million!" Zhao Diao complained.

Over the phone, Gao Dashang's laughter sounded, steady and poised, with the air of a master strategist: "A million is nothing. Once we takeover Mingya, everything we've spent will be worth it."

"President Gao's lesson is well taken, but how much longer must we wait?" Zhao Diao asked a bit anxiously.

"I'm calling to tell Mr. Zhao, for the next three days, go all out. Whenever the market falls, we buy Mingya's shares."

"I've already informed that gentleman, he and his team will spare no effort."

"Good, President Gao, let's speak plainly, at least how much can you contribute?"

"About five billion should be no problem for us, we only need thirty percent of Mingya's shares."

"I see, I should be able to secure another two billion in loans from the bank on my end, then go to Third Young Master Chen to borrow a billion at a high interest."

"Haha, Mr. Zhao indeed has guts, not a small appetite. Five billion, plus the rise after the fall, you're about to become a person worth tens of billions."

"Heh heh, President Gao, don't forget the five percent share you promised me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, you'll soon be worth over two billion yourself."

"Haha, I'm just dabbling, nowhere near as grand as President Gao, you're about to become unassailable."

"Let's hope so, let's start moving at midnight tonight."

"No problem, we'll just sit back and wait for that bitch Ouyang Xiaoya to kneel and beg us."

"Haha."

The phone call ended.

Young Master Zhao was extremely excited. If it wasn't for his broken ribs from the punch he received from Lin Hai that hadn't yet healed, he would have flipped over the two nurses snuggled up beside him to vent his fire.

He picked up his phone again and ordered his subordinates: "Coordinate with that expert immediately, let's make a big move."

"No problem, Mr. Zhao!"

His subordinate immediately understood that they were going to make a major move, rubbing his hands together excitedly.

......

"Sh*t? There's another issue with the market trend!"

"Damn, do they have some kind of expert on their side?"

Snake Swallowing Whale and Huo Hao exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Hai listened, completely lost in the clouds and fog, not understanding what those things meant at all.

"Looks like we're in for an all-nighter."

"Hmph, my Head Chopper is already thirsty for action, just waiting for the sheep to fall into the trap."

The two rubbed their hands together in anticipation, beginning their internal maneuvers.

In front of Huo Hao's monitor were ten cell phones, each with a disposable SIM card.

Each phone stored just one number, the foreign team he needed to contact.

The ten phones had been modified to be able to make internet calls via computer.

"Let's begin, first raise Mingya's stock price, dampen the other side's enthusiasm."

"Number One understands."

"Number Two received."

"Ah, wait a minute, let me finish up first, I'm Number Three."

......

"Number Ten understands."

On the side of Snake Swallowing Whale, information was also being released in their internal QQ group.
