“Hoo…” I took a deep breath and sat down in front of the computer . As usual, I read the future news . In 12 Months After, there was good news in the Economy section .

'All right, the price of soybeans is plummeting, and the stock prices of manufacturers of cooking oil are soaring . The related stocks…'

I put some stocks in the calendar application and turned on the HTS . My account still contained $20,000,000 worth of shares: shares with a 35% return . I put them into the sell order at a moderate price, and I moved my gaze .

[Bisang Construction +1 . 8%]

[Jinyang Development +2 . 5%]

Both stocks rose steadily, rising nearly twenty percent from their low point . Now was the time for the theme stocks to move . Only alert inst.i.tutional investors with fast information and quick-sighted ants were attached . The timing of the information which I had heard was fast enough . The media hadn't even announced that there were five candidates selected yet . Newsmaker Kang Joo-hyuk gave me a good bait, 'Try this one . If you come in now, you'll be able to take 10% profit easily . '

'The Old City Regeneration Project is a project worth hundreds of million dollars, and once selected as a business operator, people selling for several years will be negligible . In other words, even if stock prices more than double, it is not strange at all . Whether it is selected as a final business operator or not, just the expectation is enough to rise thirty to forty percent . Ten percent is an easy-to-take if the spider doesn't do anything strange…

'In this situation, these two stocks must be considered to have terrible spiders already camped out . It's easy for them to kill one or two people during the operation . They may lose money if they try to eat it at ten percent . In the case of such stock manipulators, they monitor who buys stocks and how they buy them, so they also have a system to lower the stock price if ants buy them and raise them if ants sell them .

'Basically, it's right not to go in . That's common sense . It's true that ants or anyone else should not buy them . If they can earn money by any means, they will lose in the long run . This is like a designed poker game . A fool plays an honest game, while a hoodwinker plays seeing all the cards . Once or twice, even if they are lucky enough to win, they are forced to lose all after all .

'But I'm different . I have a hidden Joker card which came from the last People Search, and even if they see my cards, they'll be d.a.m.ned if I take it suddenly . If only one condition is met… Once the 'one condition' has been confirmed, I can give these guys the big s.h.i.+t right away, though I don't know when right now . '

I continued thinking, twirling my mouse cursor .

'So, shall I go to war or not? All I have left is my decision . I don't have to do it for money . I'm making good money anyway .

'If I think about Director Tak Joon-gi who said, “Dog pigs, I'm not with those vulgar people…” and when I think about Lee Ah-young saying, “These men are my parents' enemies,” I should go to war, not for money, but for justice . '

I pondered this and that scenario .

'Yeah, well, even if I'm not satisfied with that condition… There's no chance I'll lose money . If I can do justice without risk, it's right to join the war . Yes, no matter how much I have traded with future value, it's true that I've brought in the money of countless inst.i.tutional, foreign investors and ants . Then, at least, at the level of reward, I need to correct the market order . '

Having made up my mind, I put just two accounts on my multi-monitor . Usually, I ran my eight accounts and used the undercover technique so that big hands would not know if I came in, but this time I decided to reveal my presence on purpose .

To let them know that I was in battle, I started buying both Bisang Construction and Jinyang Development with two accounts . Due to the recent surge, there was quite a lot of waiting to be sold, but I bought them all . '+3%, +5%, +8%'

The two stocks, which used to run in the +2% range, jumped to 10% because I bought them like crazy . I stopped buying there and watched the trend for a while .

– Wow, today is the day to surge . -

As stock prices soared, ants stuck closer at +11%, +12%, +13% . But the stock prices didn't go up anymore, because I didn't buy them any more . The stock prices were back on track of +12%,+11%, +10% . No one bought more, and no one sold more . But I was sure there was someone out there watching me over the monitor, watching my account .

'Well, they can't move with this?'

I stopped buying and called Vice President Jang . When the call-waits were about to come out three times, he answered my phone, “Yes, boss . Is there anything you want?”

“Vice President, how much money do we have available?”

“We don't have much money because we spent too much money on buying a stake in Kai Games…”

“Oh, then I'll give you a capital increase tomorrow . Please prepare a team for large short-stock-selling with the money . I want a few fast-paced traders . ”

“A large short-stock-sale?” Vice President Jang said in surprise . I'd ordered him to buy this and that, and find out which company to take over, but it was the first time I had told him to prepare for a large short-stock-sale .

“Yes, a large short-stock-sale . ”

“Yes, sir . I'll do as you say . ”

After the phone call, I looked at the HTS window again, holding my cell phone . The stocks were trading at +8%, slightly lower . It was a typical situation where only ants remained, and caused confusion after big hands came in and let go of them . I touched my cell phone and called up the phone book for Kang Joo-hyuk .

There was a phone number that I had exchanged during the last interview .

'I'm sure he's watching…' After a little thought, I sent a text message .

– h.e.l.lo, reporter . Thank you for the article . You did a good job on my story . Thank you, and I also appreciate the information about the Old City Regeneration Project . I'm already making quite a profit, but it looks like it's going to go up further . I'm going to buy more watching the situation . -

I wrote it there, but after agonizing, I put in one more line .

– Please let me know if you have any more information . It's likely that the stock price will eventually change depending on who the final business operator is . -

Then I sent the text message .

'What's he going to say?' I looked up at HTS, thinking that . There was no rush to sell .

'Shall I go for lunch, then?'

I got up from my seat, got dressed quickly, and then stepped out the door . I was going to go in front of the elevator, and I was about to press the down b.u.t.ton . The elevator just happened to open in front of me . Lee Ah-young who opened the door and showed up . I bowed my head and greeted her, “h.e.l.lo!”

But at my greeting, she said in a business-like manner, “Yes, h.e.l.lo,” and then pa.s.sed me .

I looked at her back . Normally, a hip line that ran from the waist to the waist would have caught my eyes first . However, today, her drooping shoulders came into my eyes first . Somehow her shoulders looked lonesome .

'She's a single daughter, but her parents are dead . ' It seemed to be because I knew such a background .

“Hmm…” I looked at her and turned to the elevator . The elevator door was about to close .

“Oh, my G.o.d . ” I quickly pressed the down b.u.t.ton to open the door again and get into it . But then, my cell phone rang . It was a text from Kang Joo-hyuk .

I thought about Lee Ah-young who just pa.s.sed me by . 'If she knows that I'm texting her enemy… What would she say?'

I checked the text . – Oh, no problem, CEO Han . It was nice to write a good interview . When they saw the CEO's story, everyone gave good comments . I'll let you know as soon as I get more information about the Old City Regeneration Project . -

“Bah! Are you going to let me know right away?” I grinned as I spoke to myself . He would not tell me right away . Or maybe he already held all the information . But it was okay . If it was a deceitful game, I was stronger . Just as they were hiding the real information from me, I would not tell them, 'I'm getting the future news . '

Two weeks had pa.s.sed since then, three weeks before the announcement of the Old City Regeneration Project .

The stock prices of Bisang Construction and Jinyang Development both were fluctuating . This was because the news had started to come out slowly, and all the ants were attached to the policy theme . When they heard there was a strong possibility of Bisang Construction in the market, the stock prices moved like that .

[Bisang Construction +7%]

[Jinyang Development -8%]

If they heard Jinyang Development was ahead, the stock prices were the following .

[Bisang Construction -9%]

[Jinyang Development +6%]

As such, stock prices turned around in just one day . By the way, I bet $10,000,000 each early, and I had a 10% profit in both stocks . It was as expected .

'If I eat here and go out… well, I'm a winner . It's a small win . '

It might be a bit demure, but I didn't sell . I didn't just come in here to make money . I watched it as I bought and sold other items on the calendar . But in the meantime, there was a text message, 'A reporter Kang Joo-hyuk . '

I thought, -Here you are!- I looked at the text;it was quite long .

– How's the CEO doing? I've been covering the Old City Regeneration Project in depth . These days, government officials are sensitive about leaking information . They really don't talk . But since I asked them persistently, one of the members of the selection team quietly said that Jinyang Development is more likely than Bisang Construction . -

I clapped my hands when I saw it . “That's enough . ”

It was the moment when the Big f.u.c.k that was going to keep these guys in the deep water was loaded . I read more text messages .

– So, if you want to invest, you'd better invest in Jinyang Development . Of course, as you know, it's not 100% sure . CEO Han . -

I muttered on seeing it, “Yes, of course, it's not 100% sure . ”

'There's no 100% future in the world . ' That was true for me and for them .
