Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 275 5x Leverage, A First Test

Ye Fan stood behind them, his gaze steady.

Without wasting words, he pointed directly to one of the screens surrounding them, which was displaying the intraday chart and betting data for Jinfeng Building Materials (JFJC).

"Today we're going to buy Jinfeng Building Materials. The two of you will take turns operating. Our target position is 100 million yuan worth of circulating shares." Ye Fan's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable force.

Shen Jun and Yang Bin quickly brought up the JFJC interface, but when Ye Fan casually uttered his next sentence, their hands gripping the mouse tightened simultaneously.

"At the same time, 5x leverage has been activated. Funds in the available margin account have been transferred in."

5x leverage! Enhancing the amount of funds to 5 million!

This number exploded in their minds like a bombshell.

JFJC is not a popular stock in the market; its daily trading volume typically hovers around several billion, and its circulating shares are not particularly large. To use 5 million to try and buy into such a stock is tantamount to driving a fully loaded heavy truck on the edge of a cliff!

The risk of margin calls is extremely high if the market experiences a reversal or liquidity dries up.

Shen Jun took a deep breath. As a more experienced trader, he mustered his courage and looked at Ye Fan: "Mr. Ye... if I may be frank, JFJC's recent technical and fundamental outlook is... lackluster. Market attention is low, and liquidity is average. With such a large amount of capital, coupled with 5x leverage, isn't the risk factor too high? What if..."

Ye Fan, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "What, you're scared?"

The two swallowed hard.

Ye Fan, his face expressionless, said, "Your mission is clear: complete the position building at the lowest cost and fastest speed. The goal is to buy 1 million worth of stocks. Your professional value lies in how to execute instructions efficiently and covertly, minimizing market impact costs, not in questioning the strategy itself. Understand?"

Ye Fan's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking the two of them up.

Yes, they are traders, they are executors.

The decision-making logic and risk appetite of the investors are not something they need to question. Their value and their task are simply to buy or sell as required.

"Understood, Mr. Ye!" the two said in unison, their eyes sharpening again.

The doubts were suppressed, replaced by the focus brought by professional instinct and a hint of excitement from pushing the limits.

"Let's begin," Ye Fan said succinctly.

Shen Jun was the first to sit in the main control position.

Instead of placing large orders, he quickly typed on his keyboard, brought up Level-2 market data, and carefully observed the order book. At the same time, he skillfully set multiple alerts, including those for abnormal stock price movements, large order executions, and unusual volume ratios.

Officially open for business!

As expected, JFJC opened slightly lower by 0.5% with sparse trading volume. Shen Jun did not act immediately; he waited and tested the market's depth.

"Yang Bin, pay attention to the odds changes and be ready to provide support," Shen Jun whispered, his eyes fixed on the screen.

He employed a classic "iceberg strategy":

Order splitting: Breaking down a large buy order into dozens or even hundreds of smaller orders, each ranging from a few lots to dozens of lots.

Disguise: These small orders are scattered across different order prices, disguised as buy orders from retail investors or ordinary institutions.

Order taking: Closely monitor sell orders. When a slightly larger sell order appears at a certain price level, immediately and quickly take it with a smaller order, acting as fast as lightning, and try not to cause large price fluctuations.

Rotation: After operating for a period of time, Yang Bin takes over to maintain the continuity and concealment of the operation rhythm.

Yang Bin monitored the overall market like a radar, especially the changes in trading volume and the order book ratio, ready to intervene at any time when Shen Jun needed cover or when there was unexpected selling pressure in the market, using more proactive small orders to take over and maintain the stability of the stock price.

Ye Fan stood at the rear, like a calm commander.

He watched the two of them play:

Shen Jun's fingers flew across the keyboard, precisely "nibbling away" at the sellers' orders whenever the stock price dipped slightly or the order book loosened. He was like a patient hunter, taking advantage of the market's minor fluctuations to build positions in a "fleecing" manner.

Yang Bin acted more like a sentinel. While Shen Jun was "feeding," he would place some small buy orders at slightly higher prices to create the illusion that there was support below, while keeping an eye out for any large sell orders that might suddenly dump the shares.

The two worked together seamlessly, quickly exchanging coded messages such as "left-side order taking," "right-side defensive," and "moderate volume" through internal communication.

The morning trading session passed in a tense but orderly manner.

At the close of trading at 11:30, the two of them used less than 50 million in cash to buy JFJC shares worth approximately 40 million, which were trading like stocks.

Supported by an invisible hand, it dipped slightly by 0.8%, remaining almost completely still. Trading volume increased slightly but not abruptly, blending seamlessly into the normal fluctuations of the market.

Ye Fan was very satisfied with the result.

If he were to operate it himself, he might rush into a price increase of several percentage points due to impatience or clumsy techniques, which could even alert the major funds involved.

Shen Jun and Yang Bin's professional operations minimized the cost of market impact, which is the essence of large-scale capital operation.

Managing such a large amount of money in a single stock, especially in such a short time, would likely make Ye Fan a shareholder of that company if he were to do it himself.

"Well done." Ye Fan rarely gave such praise. "You controlled the pace very well this morning and were very discreet."

Shen Jun and Yang Bin breathed a sigh of relief; their backs were damp with sweat and felt slightly heavy.

This is bigger than they imagined.

Ye Fan walked to the large screen, pulled up JFJC's candlestick chart, and tapped it with his finger, saying, "Continue at this pace this afternoon. But we have limited time; the target position must be reached."

He changed the subject and looked at Miao Zi: "Inform General Manager Chen Lichuan that after the market opens this afternoon, in the name of Hongdou Capital, through the institutional trading seat, initiate a block trade inquiry for JFJC. The inquiry range will be 1%-1.5% lower than the average transaction price this morning."

Shen Jun and Yang Bin's eyes lit up! This was the key to rapid capital accumulation!

Ye Fan nodded: "Your tasks this afternoon are twofold: first, continue to maintain your pace in the secondary market, accumulating shares with small orders; second, closely monitor the progress of Hongdou Capital's block trades. Once a transaction is completed, your secondary market operations must be adjusted immediately to avoid conflict. Understand?"

"Understood!" The two perked up, feeling the pressure instantly lessen.

With the "heavy hand" of large-scale transactions at the company level, their "needlework" operations became much easier. This is the true model for large-scale capital operations!

......

The lunch break is only one and a half hours long.

Miao Zi took Shen Jun and Yang Bin to the company cafeteria for lunch.

Ye Fan, meanwhile, took the elevator briskly to the sixth floor, to Liu Ruyan's office.
