Chen Anya thought for a moment and said,
"Then let's go eat Haidilao together later."
"I thought you'd want something like a Japanese or Italian restaurant,"
Zhou Qianqian said,
"I didn't expect you to be so considerate of my budget."
Chen Anya said,
"If you want to treat me to Kobe beef steak, prawns, seafood, or anything like that, that's not impossible."
Zhou Qianqian smiled and said,
"When I'm as rich as that Mr. Su just now, don't even mention steak, prawns, or seafood; I'll even arrange beluga caviar for you."
The two chatted with smiles for a bit, and Chen Anya saw that it was almost time to leave work.
So she changed out of her suit dress in the venue's restroom, picked up her bag, and left with Zhou Qianqian, who had already finished tidying up the booth.
Meanwhile, Su Yi had already driven back to his residence.
He parked his car in the residential complex's garage, then obtained a monthly parking pass for the complex at the property management office, before coming to a nearby restaurant downstairs and grabbing a quick dinner.
The next day, Su Yi drove to the 4S dealership again.
Through Chen Anya's friend Zhou Qianqian's introduction, he managed to spend money to get a Shanghai license plate.
After that, Monday arrived.
Su Yi drove to the Huaxin Securities Financial Street Fuxing Road Branch early.
Just as he walked into the VIP trading room, he saw Lin Minghui, whom he had met when he was trading with margin at 'Yinghui Finance' company, sitting in a seat and discussing market conditions with General Manager Deng.
"Oh... what a coincidence!"
Lin Minghui's face showed great surprise when he saw Su Yi.
General Manager Deng looked at the changes in expression on Lin Minghui's and Su Yi's faces, and was also very surprised for a moment, saying,
"You two... know each other?"
Su Yi nodded slightly and said with a smile,
"I've met General Manager Lin a few times."
"What, Old Deng, you two know each other too?"
Lin Minghui's gaze returned to General Manager Deng's face as he questioned.
General Manager Deng lightly coughed and said,
"Brother Su and I just met recently."
As he spoke, General Manager Deng roughly explained how he had met Su Yi during the past few days since Su Yi entered the branch's VIP room.
Lin Minghui was utterly astonished to hear that Su Yi had made several million yuan in these few trading days; it was truly jaw-dropping, and at the same time, he was filled with wonder.
"Old Lin, how have your recent operations been?"
General Manager Deng asked while Lin Minghui was in a daze,
"Did you make another big profit?"
Lin Minghui sighed heavily and replied,
"Ah, don't even mention it. Recently, I've lost so much that I feel like jumping off a building. My full positions hit the limit-down several times, and in less than half a month, I lost over 20 million yuan."
"Lost so much?"
General Manager Deng was clearly a bit surprised.
Although he knew Lin Minghui had a solid family fortune, over 20 million yuan was definitely not a small amount.
Lin Minghui said,
"The market fell too fast, there wasn't even time to reduce positions. I can only say it's fortunate I didn't put in new funds to cover positions, otherwise, I would have definitely lost even more miserably.
Ah... actually, it would have been great if I could have followed Brother Su and shorted stock index futures to hedge my stock account when the SSE Composite Index was at 5000 points."
After Su Yi made over 7 million in profit by shorting stock index futures with a principal of 150,000 yuan.
He had actually vaguely felt that something was off with the bull market.
Unfortunately, due to limited understanding and the influence of greed, he simply didn't dare to short stock index futures again for hedging when the market had already significantly corrected after a big fall.
"Brother Su realized something was off with the market when the SSE Composite Index was at 5000 points?"
General Manager Deng felt increasingly impressed with Su Yi after hearing this,
"That's truly amazing!"
Lin Minghui chuckled and said,
"What's even more amazing is that he leveraged over 7 million in profit from a principal of 150,000 yuan by shorting stock index futures in just 7 trading days. I've been investing in stocks for so long, and I've never seen such a crazy and formidable young man like him."
"150,000 principal, 7 trading days, leveraging 7 million in profit?"
General Manager Deng was completely stunned, and subconsciously said,
"That's impossible, isn't it? How could that be done?"
As an experienced investor, this defied what he considered common sense.
Lin Minghui said,
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either."
"It's just luck, please don't praise me, seniors."
Su Yi saw Lin Minghui extensively recounting his achievements at 'Yinghui Finance' company, which instantly drew the attention of many clients in the VIP room, and he quickly said,
"Gambling big with a small stake is inherently due to luck and cannot be replicated, so... there's no point in discussing it."
"So... it's actually true?"
General Manager Deng felt even more shocked after hearing Su Yi's words.
It was ironic that in these past few trading days, in front of Su Yi, he had repeatedly considered himself an experienced investor, constantly reminding the other party how to avoid certain trading traps, treating him as a stock market novice and investment rookie.
He never expected that he was the real 'old rookie'.
As the three talked, the market had already entered the call auction period.
Facing the rapidly fluctuating market screen, everyone in the trading room also turned their gaze back to their computer screens.
"Ah, looking at this situation, it's going to open sharply lower again!"
"It's over, the stocks held directly hit the limit-down during the call auction. Is this trying to kill us?"
"Oh my God! Is this the rhythm of a continuous crash?"
"If it keeps falling like this, I'll really get margin called!"
Along with the rapid changes on the trading screen, although it wasn't 9:25 AM yet and the call auction for both markets hadn't ended.
The dire situation had already caused a wave of panic in the trading room.
Su Yi opened his account, staring at the China Securities 500 Index Futures main contract, which was directly trending towards a limit-down, and the floating profit on his positions which had already soared to 8 figures, he was deeply shocked inside.
Lin and Deng, sitting next to him, also had similarly solemn expressions at this moment.
Especially Lin Minghui.
He stared at his account, at LeTV.com, which he had sold earlier and then heavily bought back, and at East Money Information, which he had originally held in heavy positions, directly opening at the limit-down.
His brows were completely furrowed, and the anxiety in his heart was fully visible on his face.
As time passed, the grim market situation continued, and the panic and anxiety in everyone's hearts also continued.
Many people didn't wait for the market's call auction to end and began to panic-sell their chips, desperately cutting losses and fleeing.
Finally, under this extreme panic.
When 9:25 AM arrived, the call auction for both markets concluded.
The SSE Composite Index directly opened lower at a 2.23% decline, while the ChiNext Index opened more than 3% lower.
As for the China Securities 500 Index Futures main contract held by Su Yi, it plummeted 6.11% right at the open, on top of yesterday's limit-down.
Seeing such a sight, everyone in the trading room had a look of terror on their faces.
Even several large clients who had just replenished part of their margin last Friday, now faced their accounts once again falling below the mandatory liquidation warning line, and had no choice but to continue injecting funds to replenish their margin.
