This encrypted terminal was originally the highest-specification equipment that Haitong headquarters had prepared specifically for Chen Mo.

Independent trading channels, dedicated risk control interfaces, encrypted market data sources, and even backend seat permissions are all specially approved by headquarters.

In other words, as long as he has this terminal, Chen Mo can mobilize his 1.2 billion yuan long position in stock index futures at any time, whether he is in the Haitong VIP room or in the study of Guanlan Yujing.

Lin Wan deftly collected the terminal, backup key, and risk control data into a special box.

Before leaving, Chen Mo suddenly stopped and looked back at Manager Lin.

"Manager Lin."

"Mr. Chen, what are your instructions?"

"For the next three months, my account data will only be accessible to you and two other authorized individuals from headquarters. Any unusual access should be reported to Lin Wan immediately."

Manager Lin felt a chill run down his spine and quickly nodded, "Don't worry, I guarantee it with my own future, there won't be the slightest mistake."

"Um."

Chen Mo didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

As the Hummer drove away from the entrance of Haitong Securities, all the plane tree leaves on the street had fallen.

In early winter, the cold wind in Jiangcheng County carried a desolate atmosphere.

But in Chen Mo's eyes, the underground, factories, roads, land, and even every inconspicuous barren slope of this small county town are being reconnected by invisible networks of funds and power.

Deer Technology.

Feiyu Real Estate.

Xingxin Mining.

Star Technology.

And the Primordial Capital that is quietly growing in Kyoto.

All the pieces have been placed on the board.

Next, all that's needed is time to light them up one by one.

……

Time flies.

2014 October.

The A-share market is on the eve of a full-blown bull market.

Brokerage stocks were like a powder keg that had been ignited, with Eastmoney, CITIC Securities, and Yinzijie taking turns to charge forward, and the Shanghai Composite Index continued to break through upwards amid a chorus of doubts.

Those retail investors who had been numb from the torment of the bear market finally realized what was happening and rushed into the brokerage to open an account.

The lobbies of major securities companies were packed with people.

Some people were queuing with their bank cards in hand, some were squatting in a corner making phone calls to borrow money, and others were staring at the constantly rising index on the screen, their faces flushed with excitement.

The bull market is here.

This term started spreading from stock forums, online forums, and financial programs to vegetable markets, dining tables, and casual conversations among taxi drivers.

Chen Mo's 1.2 billion yuan stock index futures position had already been prepared.

In early December, the account's unrealized profit exceeded 12 million.

In mid-December, the unrealized profit exceeded 12 million.

In late December, as the blue-chip market fully erupted, contracts rose all the way up, and Chen Mo's futures account equity began to expand at an alarming rate.

.................

Meanwhile, overseas investors who were long on the USD/RUB exchange rate also reaped the final harvest in this Black Tuesday that will be recorded in global financial history.

Villa No. 16, Guanlan Royal View.

The Central Bank of Russia announced in the early hours of the morning that it would raise its key interest rate by 650 basis points to 17% from 10.5%.

This is the largest interest rate hike since the Russian debt crisis in 1998.

1:40 a.m.

Only one desk lamp was on in the study, its warm yellow light falling on the table, but it couldn't suppress the frantically jumping red and green numbers on the screen.

Chen Mo sat in front of the encrypted terminal, his eyes bloodshot.

The coffee on the table had gone cold.

He just stared at the screen quietly.

USD/RUB. The exchange rate between the US dollar and the Russian ruble.

Starting from the night of the oil price crash at the end of November, he almost without hesitation put all the money he made from shorting oil into this currency pair.

Initial equity: US$89.2 million, leveraged 10 times.

Total nominal position: close to $8.9 million.

Average purchase price: around 50.3.

To ordinary people, this is an incredibly reckless gamble.

But Chen Mo knew that this wasn't a gamble; it was history.

As crude oil prices continue to plummet and Western sanctions tighten, Russia's foreign exchange reserves are being drained away like sandbags being torn apart.

The ruble's resistance lines were crushed one by one by the short sellers.

55, 60, 65.

Every time a key level is breached, the global financial markets experience a shock.

And today, December 16th.

The real avalanche has finally arrived.

On the right side of the screen, the USD/RUB exchange rate is like a runaway horse, completely out of control.

68.4.

70.2.

72.8.

75.6.

Each fluctuation meant that the unrealized profits in Chen Mo's account were expanding wildly in the tens of millions of dollars.

2:15 a.m.

The price broke through 78.

Risk control prompts started popping up continuously in the terminal.

Chen Mo finally moved.

He raised his hand, his fingertips landing on the keyboard.

"Initiate closing out positions."

The first stroke.

A nominal position of $50 million.

Transaction.

The second stroke.

A nominal position of $80 million.

Transaction.

The third stroke.

A nominal position of $120 million.

Transaction.

He didn't smash it all at once.

Even in the world's largest currency market, this level of foreign exchange position cannot be moved haphazardly.

Chen Mo activated the order splitting algorithm, dispersing the remaining positions across several dark pool channels in London, New York, and Singapore, gradually withdrawing from the frenzied ruble market like the receding tide.

On the screen, transaction reports scrolled densely.

78.9.

79.4.

80.1.

The highest single transaction was around 80.6.

A sharp glint finally flashed in Chen Mo's eyes.

enough.

He ate the fish head, he ate the fish body, but he didn't touch the last part, the tail.

At 3:07 AM, the last USD/RUB long position was closed.

Terminal refresh, settlement benefits for overseas offshore accounts:

423,870,000 dollars.

After deducting channel costs, overnight interest, and derivatives fees, the net equity still stands at a high of US$421,600,000.

In other words, from this ruble crisis alone, Chen Mo made a net profit of over $3.3 million from the collapse of the Russian financial market.

That's equivalent to over two billion RMB.

Chen Mo leaned back in his chair and slowly exhaled.

There were no cheers, no celebrations.

Only the study was filled with an almost frozen silence.

He knew very well that the existence of this overseas account could not be known to anyone for the time being.

This line involves crude oil, foreign exchange, offshore trusts, and future investments in US and Hong Kong stocks. It is too large in scale and too risky.

The fewer people who know, the safer it is.

Chen Mo lit a cigarette, his gaze returning to the other screen.

That shows a Chinese futures account.

Over the past two weeks, blue-chip stocks have surged, with securities firms, banks, and insurance companies experiencing successive rallies.

His long positions of 1.2 billion were established at an average price of around 2860 points.

At this moment, it has already surged above 3350 points.

The unrealized profit exceeds 200 million RMB.

The equity in stock index futures, plus the principal, has reached nearly 500 million.

Chen Mo looked at the screen, but there was no elation in his eyes. After tonight, the financial assets he truly controlled had completely crossed the threshold of 3 billion RMB.

But from this moment on, he also had to define his financial landscape more clearly.

Domestically, these include Xingchen Technology, Taichu Capital, Deer Technology, Xingxin Mining, and Feiyu Real Estate.

Offshore, there are offshore trusts, Merrill Lynch seats, crude oil, foreign exchange, and Nasdaq, which will truly be able to handle world-class funds in the future.

The two lines can echo each other.

But they should never be crossed easily.

Outside the window, Jiangcheng County remained quiet.

The vast majority of people in this small county town are still fast asleep.

Unaware of the currency collapse in Moscow, unaware of the alarming cries of Wall Street traders, and unaware that in the study of this villa, a high school senior had already made over two billion RMB overnight by taking advantage of the financial tsunami.

It has been less than half a year since Chen Mo was reborn.
