Chapter 101

In the luxurious suite across the way, Stanford and Justin were on cloud nine.

"Justin, that was genius!"

"That news you put out totally wiped out those sell orders on the limit-down stocks!"

"You're a real mastermind!"

Justin grinned, clearly pleased with himself.

"Mr. Ferguson, it was just a little trick."

"I just turned their own game against them."

After the market closed yesterday, Justin wasted no time digging into why so many limit-up orders were suddenly pulled.

Turns out, someone had spread some bogus info!

How did Justin know it was fake? Well, Stanford had a mole inside StellaTech Group.

The person behind this dared to play an info war with Justin, so he wasn't about to hold back.

Justin quickly got people to debunk the fake news, and once the truth was out, it started to work.

Big orders and retail investors began to slowly buy in, and soon enough, the limit-down stocks started to ease up.

Getting back their principal seemed just around the corner, and Justin could already see the light at the end of the tunnel.

At this point, Stanford suddenly asked, "So Justin, can we start pushing the stock price up now?"

Stanford had learned his lesson from yesterday and was now super cautious. He didn't know much about stocks, but he knew the basics.

Pushing the stock price up to the limit-up would only take a few days, and they could get back what was rightfully theirs with interest.

Hearing this, Justin shook his head, his eyes glued to the computer screen, fingers tapping lightly on the desk.

"Mr. Ferguson, this is a high-stakes game."

"We gotta be really careful!"

"At this critical moment, any rash move could lead to total failure."

"Mr. Ferguson, trust me. Give me some time!"

"I'll handle this beautifully!"

"In this situation, the person behind the scenes won't just sit back and do nothing."

"They're definitely watching our every move."

"We need to figure out their next step to strike them down in one go!"

Stanford felt somewhat reassured by Justin's words but still had his concerns.

He walked over to Justin and looked at the stock data on the computer.

The limit-down stocks had started to loosen, and the stock curve was beginning to fluctuate slightly.

But the fluctuations were minor, rising and falling unpredictably.

Stanford watched nervously.

After thinking for a while, he frowned and voiced his concern.

"But Justin, time is running out. If the stock price doesn't rise soon, our losses will be even greater."

"Justin, it's not that I don't trust your skills!"

"But I owe so much money right now!"

"If we end up losing even more..."

"Mr. Ferguson, be patient."

Justin interrupted before Stanford could finish.

Justin looked at Stanford seriously and said slowly, "We can't act impulsively right now!"

"Do you see those small increases? That's just the market testing the waters."

Stanford still held onto his own thoughts, his eyes fixed on the fluctuating numbers.

"But Justin, what if the stock price continues to fall?"

"I understand your reasoning, but shouldn't we push the stock price up first?"

Justin shook his head, letting out a cold laugh, his eyes sharp.

"No, Mr. Ferguson. We need a decisive opportunity."

"Pushing the price up now would just waste our precious funds."

"We need to wait for the market to stabilize, then break through in one go."

He continued, "Those retail investors and speculators are also watching. They're afraid the mysterious institution from yesterday will short the stock again."

"I estimate they'll act when the price is around five percent below the opening price."

"So, we need to break the bottleneck with our funds when they're hesitating and push the stock price up in one go."

"We don't have much money left. We need to use it at the critical points!"

"Pushing the stock price up now is useless!"

"We need to save most of our funds for the limit-up!"

Listening to Justin's analysis, Stanford's anxiety gradually turned into trust.

He nodded solemnly, "Alright, I understand."

Justin smiled, but since his back was to Stanford, Stanford couldn't see his expression.

"Mr. Ferguson. Now, we wait."

"When the market shifts, that's our best chance to strike."

Time ticked by, the stock price hovering near the limit-down, the market growing increasingly restless.

Stanford and Justin waited quietly, convinced that the wait would be worth it.

Finally, the market began to shift, with some bold investors tentatively buying in.

The stock price started to rise slowly.

Justin knew the moment had come.

He swiftly began to operate, his fingers flying over the keyboard.

Stanford watched Justin's actions, seeing him decisively place a $50 million buy order.

That $50 million buy order was like a sharp sword, cutting through the resistance ahead.

With Justin's decisive move, the market atmosphere became even more tense and excited.

Those retail investors and speculators who had been watching saw the continuous large buy orders.

It was like a shot of adrenaline, and they began to join the buying frenzy.

"Justin, it's rising! The stock price is going up!"

Stanford pointed at the screen excitedly, his hand trembling.

Other investors in the market saw the stock price movement and started to follow suit.

They believed a big buyer had entered, thinking the stock price would continue to rise, so they bought in, hoping to get a piece of the action.

With their funds pouring in, the stock price quickly surged, breaking through the five percent bottleneck and heading straight for the opening price.

The stock price was pushed higher and higher!

Justin smirked, a satisfied smile on his face.

Though it was just a small victory, Justin was confident.

He could already envision the future where he trampled his enemies and claimed ultimate victory.

"See that, Mr. Ferguson?"

Justin said nonchalantly, "This is the opportunity we were waiting for."

"This is psychological warfare! The mastermind behind yesterday's events used the same tactic."

"I used large buy orders to tell the market that StellaTech Group's stock is worth pushing up."

"This way, we attract more and more buyers."

"Now, we just need to stabilize the stock price and wait for the market's reaction."

Stanford looked at Justin, his eyes filled with admiration.

Justin's actions were incredibly decisive!

"Justin, is this what you meant by using money at critical points?"

Justin nodded, his eyes fixed on the stock price movements on the screen.

"Exactly, Mr. Ferguson."

"In the stock market, every dollar is like a sharp sword."

"We must strike at the critical moment to achieve the greatest effect."

Hearing this, Stanford nodded in agreement.

"Justin, you're amazing! You're truly a stock market genius."

"I've never seen anyone control the market like you!"

"I knew with you here, there wouldn't be any problems."

Justin smiled but remained cautious.

"Mr. Ferguson, this is just the beginning. The battles ahead will be even fiercer."

"The stock market is like a battlefield; we must stay vigilant at all times."

"Although we've broken through a key point, the road ahead is still long."

Stanford agreed with Justin's words.

Though they had the upper hand now, the stock market was unpredictable.

Unexpected situations could arise at any moment, and they had to be prepared!

Just as Stanford finished his thought, an unexpected situation occurred.

StellaTech Group's stock price, driven by retail investors and speculators, soared rapidly, igniting the market's enthusiasm.

However, as the stock price approached the opening price, it encountered resistance again.

A massive $150 million sell order loomed like a mountain, blocking the stock's upward path.

Many retail investors and speculators began to hesitate.

Justin knew the critical moment had arrived, and he had to act again.

Without hesitation, he started to operate.

With Justin's actions, the $150 million sell order was swept away.

The stock price, like a wild horse breaking free, surged forward, instantly breaking through the opening price resistance.

Retail investors and speculators in the market saw this and became even more frenzied.

They started buying in crazily, pushing the stock price higher, and the market's enthusiasm reached a new peak.

Justin sat in front of the computer, arms crossed, a smug smile on his face, unable to contain his laughter.

"Mr. Ferguson, do you see? This is the power of the stock market."

"As long as we have enough determination and funds, we can guide the market's direction."
