I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

Moreover, he knew what Hao Longtao intended to do with the money.

Significantly acquire Stark Industries shares.

"What an impressive young man."

Smith thought of Stark Industries stock.

This guy shorted Stark Industries with 20x leverage.

Now that funds are entering the market to buy at the bottom, Hao Longtao will make a fortune if Stark Industries releases any positive news.

"Could I use my spare money to buy some shares of Stark Industries?"

Stark Industries, despite having abandoned its weapons manufacturing division, is not as bad as outsiders imagine.

Tony Stark is a genius among geniuses.

If he were to transition to civilian applications, this untapped market would be hundreds of times larger than the military market.

Whether it's the smartphone market, the new energy vehicle market, or the artificial intelligence market, there are no technological obstacles for Tony Stark.

These three markets have continued to grow and have surpassed the military market.

In the military industry market, Tony Stark does not hold a monopoly.

He is just one of the leaders.

However, once science and technology are transferred to the civilian market, it's conceivable that, with Tony Stark's intelligence and talent, he could achieve a dominant and monopolistic position in multiple fields.

Moreover, as a senior executive at the National Bank, Smith knew exactly how rich Tony Stark was.

The legacy his father left him was by no means Stark Industries.

The money his father earned back then, along with the Tony Stark family's funds, was an astronomical figure.

At this moment, Tony Stark has not yet recovered from being kidnapped. If Stark Industries continues to decline, given Tony Stark's personality, he will definitely buy back Stark Industries stock, and may even privatize Stark Industries.

Smith immediately became interested.

He returned to his seat and opened the Stark Industries stock chart. The Stark Industries stock price had not yet closed for the day, and was down about -5.1%, but the trading volume was stabilizing.

Based on Smith's experience, he could immediately tell that someone was acquiring large amounts of Stark Industries shares.

The movements were very small.

"Three hundred million is not a small amount."

"Based on my speculation, he will pursue high profits, so this money will definitely go into the futures market and leverage it to go long on Stark Industries stock."

Smith logged into Interactive Brokers and, sure enough, found that some securities firms had set up betting platforms.

For securities companies, neither short selling nor long selling has any impact on them; they are merely trading platforms.

After all, for every person who buys more, there is someone who sells less.

Hao Longtao transferred $300 million to his securities account and used $200 million leveraged to buy $4 billion worth of long contracts.

Everyone was bearish, so Hao Longtao's long contract was quickly executed.

Clearly, the entire market is bearish on Stark Industries.

The trading volume of the over-the-counter futures market has already surpassed that of the stock market.

At this time, Stark Industries' stock price had reached $5.6.

His stock portfolio suffered a loss of over two million.

At this time, Hao Longtao's stock account still had 1.4 million yuan remaining.

He has already transferred $400 million to his bank account for his daily expenses.

Then, Hao Longtao used his funds to aggressively acquire chips on the market.

This time, Hao Longtao did not use leverage.

Because he needs to hold Stark Industries stock for the long term.

Even if he loses all his leverage in the futures market, he can still repay his debts with the stocks he holds in the future.

This is a safety net.

Soon, Hao Longtao snatched a large number of chips from the market.

They snapped up 2400 million shares of Stark Industries, and at this moment, the unseen forces in the market also reacted and began to aggressively buy up shares.

The stock price once surged to 6 yuan, exceeding yesterday's closing price.

Hao Longtao's overall portfolio averages $5.7 per share.

Therefore, today's lowest price drop has not yet fallen below yesterday's closing lowest price.

At this point, Hao Longtao's stock profits had reached $3210 million.

The long positions are even more aggressive.

Hao Longtao placed a 40 billion yuan contract at 5.61, resulting in a large volume of transactions in the over-the-counter futures market.

The long position contract has now risen by 7%.

It rebounded from a 5.1% drop to a 1.6% gain.

Net profit of 2.8 million.

"As expected, futures trading is still the most profitable."

But Hao Longtao understood that if he hadn't spent 1.4 million to ignite the fire and made large-scale acquisitions, causing the major shareholders behind him to start exerting their influence, he wouldn't have been able to earn so much.

At this time, Hao Longtao had become the third largest shareholder of Stark Industries, holding 1.07% of the company's shares.

Future dividends and Stark Industries' stock price increase will bring him billions of dollars in profits.

At this moment, inside Stark Industries.

Obedia Stanislav was furious.

"Find out who ruined my plans."

During this period, Stark Industries continued to decline, and he did a lot of behind-the-scenes maneuvering.

The news coverage amplified the story of Stark Industries.

He was well aware that Stark Industries had over $30 billion in cash lying in overseas accounts.

Many secret funds and assets cannot be detected on the books.

“Hao Longtao, a Chinese man, Mr. Stanis, should we have our men deal with him?”

Obedia Stanislavsky calmed down:

"Holding only one percent of the shares doesn't affect me for now. I've already become the largest shareholder of Stark Industries, and I've already won over enough other institutional shareholders of Stark Industries to remove Tony at the shareholders' meeting."

Obedia Stanislav knew that his most important task now was to obtain Tony's Jaeger technology.

He can take the arc reactor from Tony.

However, Tony's armor is not suitable because it is controlled by Jarvis, an artificial intelligence.

"We will continue to acquire more Stark stock from the market. We still have some funds left, and we must do everything we can to acquire as much Stark stock as possible today."

Stanis knew that he had used a lot of money this time.

Moreover, according to the agreement, Wall Street institutions will enter the market tomorrow, leaving him with little time.

The shares he acquired will be disclosed in the stock market tomorrow.

The drop in stock price has done him no good. Now that the stock price has rebounded, it can stabilize morale and enhance his prestige within Stark Industries.

Otherwise, given Tony's prestige within Stark Industries, it would be difficult for him to shake Tony's position.

The first thing he did after getting rid of Tony was to continue operating the weapons manufacturing department.

When the arc reactor is born and the mecha is born, the entire United States will cheer for him.

The stock price he holds will multiply several times.

Make a lot of money.

Let this little mouse make more money. Once I get the mecha technology, I'll capture him and rob him of his money and stocks.

Hao Longtao had no idea that he was being targeted by Obedia Stanislav.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't pay any attention to the other party.

He has already completed the planning.

But in order to avoid being liquidated, he leaked the news to the media if Stark Industries continued to fall.

Arc reactor technology.

Miniaturized mass production of cold fusion energy.

This news will surely cause a global sensation.

"Obedia Stanislav wants to keep stealing chickens? That won't do."

Chapter Eleven: The Birth of the Ghost Spider

[The IA audiobook has been completed and is now available for listening.]

Hao Longtao's car returned to the school.

It was already afternoon and dusk.

A blonde woman was standing in the parking space where he had parked earlier.

His face was clouded with gloom.

Seeing this, Hao Longtao showed a helpless expression, but a string in his heart was gently plucked.

The Lincoln Navigator came to a smooth stop in front of Gwen Stacy.

"Gwen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Hao Longtao knew he had broken his promise and made Gwen wait for half an hour in vain.

Gwen Stacy said coldly:

“I accept your apology, Mr. Hao.”

"Get in the car, I'll take you home."

Hao Longtao didn't say anything more and kept his eyes on the steering wheel.

Gwen Stacy got in the car.

"Hao, do you know that it's not good to make girls wait?"

She expressed her dissatisfaction as soon as she got on the bus.

"Sorry, I needed to go to the bank to handle some business today. I only remembered it when I got to school, so I asked for leave to go out."

Hao Longtao explained.

"I don't care."

Gwen Stacy got into the car in a huff.

"Drive to the Osborne Group Building."

Okay, from now on, I'm a full-time driver.

But when he heard about the Osborne Group building, Hao Longtao's eyes brightened noticeably.

Has Gwen found an internship yet?

Osborne Group is a world-renowned company.

Gwen was able to intern at this company during high school, which means she could definitely attend one of the world's top universities with her grades.

Even if Hao Longtao's grades are better than Gwen's.

However, without celebrity recommendations, it's not always possible to choose a better learning environment.

But Hao Longtao no longer cared about any of that at this point.

He's already attended university, and now he's going back to university to learn professional knowledge or network with famous alumni, but it's all superficial.

With his current assets, even in his previous life, he could have joined the top echelons of society in America.
