Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 456: Locking onto Jiamei Energy

"Senior sister, let me use your computer for a bit." Lin Feng suddenly had an idea and swiftly grabbed his senior sister’s computer, his fingers dancing quickly over the keyboard...

Chu Meng saw her junior brother using the computer and kept quiet beside him, afraid of disturbing him, as she had long been accustomed to his astonishing computer skills.

After a while, Lin Feng stopped and pointed at the screen, showing several companies to indicate to Chu Meng to take a look.

It was clear that Wanlilai Company was only one of the subsidiaries of the person behind the scenes. As of now, the only clue was Wanlilai Company. Therefore, through the past few days, Lin Feng did nothing but download some specialized software from the Internet. He then used his previously deployed "botnet" to successfully breach various banks and find all the account details and transaction records of Wanlilai Company in all banks. He immediately conducted a statistical analysis of this information to obtain details about the other companies controlled by the person behind the scenes.

If these companies were subsidiaries of the person behind the scenes, they would certainly share distinctive characteristics, such as frequent financial transactions between the companies and the funneling of funds into the same account. By analyzing the transaction data, Lin Feng quickly identified several companies with the closest ties to Wanlilai Company. These firms, like nodes in a spider’s web, had their profits channeled into a designated account.

Given these commonalities, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the remaining companies on the screen should be the main companies manipulated by the person behind the scenes.

"These companies should be the puppets of the person behind the scenes. I think we should make our move on this one!" Lin Feng pointed at the companies on the screen, reviewed the data for each one, and felt they should target Jiamei Energy, a listed company. On one hand, it was the largest among them, and on the other hand, it was listed in Yuegang, making it convenient for his senior sister to act. Most importantly, the company’s banking records were frequent and it had the most abundant funds.

All these factors indicated that Jiamei Energy must be the most significant and closely watched company by the person behind the scenes. If they targeted Jiamei Energy, the hidden adversary would surely reveal themselves. With this in mind, Lin Feng pointed out this company to Chu Meng based on his analysis.

"Hmm, this company is a good target, suitable for action. Plus, making a move on them would surely hurt the person behind the scenes, compelling them to make a move, and then junior brother can discover some clues," Chu Meng agreed with the selection of Jiamei Energy. Energy market had been very profitable recently, and since the company was listed in Yuegang, maneuvering would be even more convenient.

Taking a look at the statistical data on Lin Feng’s computer, she became even more convinced about targeting this company. If Jiamei Energy encounters problems, it would definitely cause the person behind the scenes considerable distress. And if they acted, with the junior brother’s skills, there was nothing he couldn’t do, and clues would surely be uncovered.

"Then it’s settled. Senior sister, prepare tonight, and we’ll make our move on this company first thing tomorrow morning when the market opens." Seeing that Chu Meng agreed with him, Lin Feng immediately decided. They would act against the company the next day. In his heart, he wished they could start right away, but with the market closed, they had to wait until tomorrow morning.

"Alright, junior brother. I’ll handle the necessary preparations." Hearing her junior brother’s suggestion, Chu Meng concurred, knowing that no matter how anxious they were, they could only wait for the market to open the next morning. She also had to prepare a contingency acquisition plan in case any unforeseen issues arose. If her guess was correct, the person behind the scenes would also have a business team managing such a stock company, making it not so easy to act against them.

"I need to go back and prepare some things too. I’ll head off now." With their plan set, Lin Feng also got up to leave Chu Meng’s place. Acting against a listed company was not a simple matter, and there were still many things to prepare. No battle should be fought unprepared, as it could risk alarming the enemy.

"Yes, go ahead. Come over early tomorrow morning so we can discuss the specific implementation plan." Chu Meng waved Lin Feng off with a smile, signaling him to leave. She also needed to ponder if there was a better way to quickly lure out the person behind the scenes.

"Okay." Having said that, Lin Feng left the villa and returned home to his own room. He powered up the computer he had just purchased and began typing away rapidly, creating software to manage thousands of stock accounts, anticipating a fierce battle the next day. He knew that the necessary preparations had to be made.

Meanwhile, Chu Meng also transferred funds to some frequently used bank accounts. A few days earlier, she had gone to the bank to handle the procedures for a super user account. This way, no one could casually access her personal information.

After completing these tasks, Chu Meng sat back down, her mind racing as she thought through the potential scenarios for the next day and the corresponding strategies.

...

The next morning, after Lin Feng finished making breakfast, he called Ding Wan’er to tell her that he couldn’t go to school today and asked her to take a taxi by herself. Ding Wan’er thought Lin Feng was going to do something dangerous again and said "be careful" before hanging up, a small gesture that rendered Lin Feng speechless. It seemed as though every errand he ran involved fighting and killing. Nonetheless, the word "be careful" warmed his heart.

Lin Feng arrived at his senior sister’s place with his laptop, according to their agreement, and found many printed documents laid out on the large coffee table in front of her. Now he understood how his senior sister had managed to develop Cloud Fund so quickly. Without much thought, he sat down next to her, opened his laptop, and began the final preparatory work.

Using the management software he had coded the night before, he registered a batch of accounts that appeared to have no connection and then dispersed his senior sister’s funds among these accounts to use for trading later.

By the time Lin Feng and Chu Meng had finished their tasks, there was still some time before the market opened, so they brewed two cups of tea and started chatting.

"Senior sister, how about you handle today’s business? You are more adept at this kind of thing," Lin Feng said while drinking his tea, feeling it was better to entrust the task to his senior sister. Although he was also capable, he ultimately decided to let his senior sister take the lead because she specialized in finance. With Cloud Fund as a behemoth in front of them, his senior sister was an authority in the field. Most importantly, Lin Feng wanted to restore her confidence, believing that everything would go much smoother in the future with her regained confidence.

"Alright, today we two are going to stir up Jiamei Energy and make those behind the scenes feel the pain," Chu Meng said, understanding that her junior brother wanted her to enjoy the process. Though she hadn’t been hands-on for a long time, she was very confident about finance and the stock market and still held significant influence in the field.

This sniper attack on Jiamei Energy would also serve as a practice run, a warm-up for the bigger giants to come, and eventually to uncover those who attacked Cloud Fund, to nibble away at everything they had...

Thinking of this, Chu Meng felt a surge of excitement, confident that all this would be realized with the help of her junior brother!

Seeing his senior sister’s revived ambition, Lin Feng couldn’t help but smile. In that case, everything would be left to his senior sister today; he would just play the role of a sidekick, a mere observer. If this battle could restore his senior sister’s confidence, the rest would be much easier to handle. In future stock sniper battles like this one, if they wanted to accumulate wealth quickly, this was by far the best approach.

"Senior sister, I’ve prepared thousands of stock accounts. Will that be sufficient?" Lin Feng thought for a moment. The market hadn’t opened yet, and he wasn’t sure whether the several thousand accounts he prepared were enough. He needed to get his senior sister’s opinion to avoid any issues when the market actually opened.

"That should be about right, but it’s better to create some new accounts just in case. Usually, we don’t need this many accounts to operate simultaneously. However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, it’s better to be safe," Chu Meng said after hearing Lin Feng’s plan. She had made a rough estimate for Jiamei Energy and figured that the number of accounts Lin Feng mentioned should suffice for the time being without attracting too much attention.

"Alright, I’ll prepare some more. Just tell me what to do later, senior sister. I’ve developed software that can manage thousands of accounts simultaneously, and it’s quite convenient to use," Lin Feng said, nodding as he began to batch-register more accounts, setting them aside for backup.

...

At nine o’clock sharp, the Yuegang stock market opened.

"Junior brother, start scooping up Jiamei Energy’s stocks right away, get as much as we can!" As soon as the market opened, Chu Meng saw that Jiamei Energy’s share price was in a good position, so she didn’t hesitate to instruct Lin Feng to manipulate those accounts and frantically buy up Jiamei Energy’s outstanding shares. Having stock in hand was essential for turning the situation around.

"Okay," Lin Feng swiftly replied as he saw his senior sister’s eyes light up. He began using the accounts to sweep up all the Jiamei Energy stocks available in the market, causing the share price to rise by two points within a matter of minutes.

This sudden and seemingly irregular rise in Jiamei Energy’s stock prices caught the attention of many stock traders, even fund managers noticed this abrupt development. Such occurrences were rare—they either indicated that some powerful force was making a move on Jiamei Energy, or that Jiamei Energy itself wanted to shake up the market and attract more capital.
