Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 398 feels even more tiring than the sprint for the college entrance exam back then!

Ye Fan's gaze swept across the still-stalemate intraday chart on the screen, his fingers unconsciously tapping the back of his chair.

The fierce exchange lasted all afternoon, and the air still seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

He suddenly spoke, his voice steady and clear, instantly attracting Shen Jun and Yang Bin's attention: "Shen Jun, Yang Bin, adjust the strategy. In this last hour of the day, our goal is no longer to hold the top or push the price up."

He pointed to the volatile candlestick chart: "We should only maintain a slow, controlled decline in the stock price, keeping the drop within the 1%-1.5% range. We should avoid a head-on confrontation at key price levels that would deplete our resources."

"Understood!" The two immediately understood, their fingers quickly adjusting their order placement strategy on the keyboard, shifting from aggressive buying to rhythmic defensive buying, making the stock price seem to be gently supported by an invisible hand, slowly sliding down.

Ye Fan's considerations were extremely far-reaching.

First, you need to wear down your opponent.

Because of his strong intervention, the other side will inevitably sell off at any cost today, attempting to create panic. Every strong attempt to support the market means that the opponent is selling at a higher cost.

Let them smash it, but make it "expensive"!

The second is the battle of prediction.

Tomorrow, Friday, will be the last and most frantic window for the bears to launch their counterattack!

If they can't completely crash the market and plunge the stock price into a deep abyss tomorrow, then by the weekend, Ye Fan will have enough time to use the Weiming platform to consolidate the positive information and completely reverse market expectations.

Once the market opens next Monday, the short sellers will have no chance to turn the tide! The more they expend today, the more determined they will be to go all in tomorrow.

Third is to understand weaknesses.

Based on Ye Fan's understanding of Zhou Chongzheng's past life trajectory, 2014 was a critical period when his capital empire was rapidly expanding and his cash flow was relatively tight! The "spare money" that the other party could use for such short-term malicious attacks was by no means unlimited!

Ye Fan is now in an invincible position.

Regardless of where the stock price closes today, the cost of the shares he bought is far lower than their future value.

He's not just making money now, he's also precisely "bleeding" his opponents dry.

Finally, all that's left is to wait for the harvest.

How much they can ultimately earn, and how much trouble they can cause Zhou Chongzheng, will be revealed next Monday! That will be the real harvest time.

At 3 p.m., the closing bell finally rang!

The tension that had been building all day in the trading room suddenly eased.

Shen Jun and Yang Bin slumped back in their chairs almost simultaneously, letting out a long, exhausted sigh.

"call......"

The final statistics popped up on the screen: Total expenditure for the day – 4.2 million!

This number weighed heavily on their hearts, and it also recorded the ferocity of this silent battle.

The mental strain is far greater than the physical strain.

Maintaining absolute focus for hours on end requires the brain to function like an overclocked CPU, capturing signals, judging intentions, and executing commands amidst a rapidly changing torrent of data...

At this moment, the two felt as if their souls had been drained, their eyes were glazed over, and their fingers trembled slightly.

This is not just being tired, but a state of "burnout".

In just those two hours that afternoon, in order to maintain a high level of concentration, Lin Wei brought four or five more cups of coffee, and two fruit platters were also emptied.

The enormous energy expenditure from intense mental work causes the body to send out strong hunger signals.

As the market closed, exhaustion and hunger overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.

If it weren't for Lin Wei's strong logistical support, which continuously provided "fuel," they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on long ago.

Looking at the two men, who were nearly exhausted, Ye Fan's eyes flashed with concern. He said gently, "You've worked hard today, you fought a great battle. Don't think about anything, go home and get some sleep!"

However, Shen Jun forced himself to sit up straight, his voice hoarse but unusually persistent: "Boss, we...we want to review the game again and work out tomorrow's strategy. It seems like our opponents still have some energy left to unleash this afternoon."

Yang Bin nodded vigorously in agreement, his eyes reflecting the vigilance and reluctance of a professional trader towards unknown risks.

"No need." Ye Fan's answer was firm, directly rejecting their request to work overtime.

His smile carried an all-knowing composure and an undeniable decisiveness:

"Tomorrow's strategy is simple—at the opening bell, place all our remaining funds, regardless of cost, to buy! The target price—the daily limit down for Shenmu Coal! Buy as much as you can!"

"Huh?!" Shen Jun and Yang Bin were both stunned, their faces filled with shock!

The boss's move... was practically an open secret!

Show your cards to the face, and tell your opponent: Here's everything I have. If you're so capable, take it all!

This is an extreme form of self-confidence, and also an extreme form of psychological pressure on the opponent!

Yang Bin couldn't help but press, his voice tinged with worry: "Boss, what if... what if they really have the ability to absorb all our buy orders that hit the daily limit down, and then they can continue to dump shares next Monday? What will we do then..."

Ye Fan's smile deepened, carrying a confident air of control over the entire situation:

"Don't worry. First, they can't handle it! With their current financial strength, do they really think they can swallow our hundreds of millions of yuan in losses from the limit-down? They'd choke on their own! Second, even in the worst-case scenario, if it really does hit the limit-down next Monday, our positions have been calculated with a safety margin, so we won't be liquidated! Go back and rest, get plenty of rest, and just execute the plan tomorrow!"

Ye Fan's tone and the powerful confidence in his eyes finally persuaded the two exhausted but responsible generals.

They knew that the boss's schemes were far deeper than they could see.

"Yes, boss!" The two finally stopped insisting, packed their things, and dragged their leaden legs out of the trading room.

Walking down the empty corridor, Shen Jun said to Yang Bin with a wry smile, "This feels even more tiring than when I was preparing for the college entrance exam..."

Yang Bin nodded in agreement: "Yes, my brain has been working all day, and I'm starving. I need to find somewhere to eat right away."

This extreme fatigue stems from the enormous energy expenditure caused by prolonged periods of high mental stress.

Like students preparing for the college entrance examination, they may appear to be sitting still, but their brains are working at high speed, consuming an astonishing amount of energy.

The mental exertion required is no less than that of intense physical labor.

At this moment, they are exhausted, both physically and mentally. What they need most is food and sleep to conserve their strength for the final battle tomorrow.

......

Villas in Jiangning District.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a decadent orange-red hue over the interior.

The air was stagnant, as if filled with lead, thick with the bitterness of burning cigars, the slight saltiness of sweat, and... an overwhelming sense of defeat.

Cao Yunji slumped heavily into the leather sofa, as if all his strength had been drained away.
