Chapter 1112 - 112: There’s Always a Way
"No, no!" Gu Fan felt there was a problem even if the first group had lost money, they were wealthy and losing some wouldn’t necessarily hurt their roots.
Gu Fan then took a different angle, assuming he was X Fund, how would he completely devastate the first group, making it impossible for them to recover? The answer was simple: trick the first group into buying even more stocks.
"Could it be?" Gu Fan examined the three groups marked on the whiteboard and suddenly realized something, he couldn’t help but admire how well-thought-out X Fund’s strategy was.
Gu Fan erased everything and started the simulation over.
X Fund first bought type A stocks with the first group. Then it bought type B stocks with the second group, and neither the first nor the second group knew about each other’s existence. Believing in X Fund implicitly, they would buy whatever stock X Fund recommended.
Finally, when X Fund saw that the time was ripe, it began to harvest by utilizing asymmetrical information. It communicated with the first group, persuading them to buy type B stocks, effectively helping X Fund cash out.
Of course, X Fund also told the second group to buy type A stocks, further aiding X Fund in cashing out.
That is, under the deceit and unified command of X Fund, both groups allowed X Fund to liquidate its holdings quickly. Both groups owned both types A and B of stocks and then realized they had been played.
The funds of the first and the second groups were mostly trapped in the stock market, and just a few tricks from X Fund, such as announcing the disappearance of negative factors, would surely cause a sharp market decline and many businesses would suffer.
