Did Bai Qi have an appointment tonight?
Ye Longlin frowned, clearly not believing it was as simple as meeting someone, but it didn't matter. He didn't want to disrupt his plans because of one person.
"Arrange for someone to keep an eye on things. If anything happens, you can tell me directly."
He left without any further delay.
The downfall of the Zhou family also made many in Chang'an City feel the impending storm, but they didn't know how to respond.
However, some who were less sensitive to such matters, or who had guessed the severity but lacked the ability to change it, would do well to band together for warmth in the coming days.
Soon, it was Monday.
The first thing Tang Zihan said upon seeing Ye Longlin was, "Have you finished writing the covering program at Longge?"
Ye Longlin nodded and said, "We've completed ninety-eight percent. Except for two employee computers, it's basically all covered."
Tang Zihan looked at Ye Longlin with suspicion, completely disbelieving him.
It was known that writing a covering program was very troublesome, and it also involved establishing a virtual desktop and hiding the original one. Therefore, it was practically impossible to complete this in just two days, which was why Tang Zihan couldn't believe it.
But after receiving his precise answer, he still found it hard to believe. Two days was indeed too short.
"If you don't believe me, you can try it yourself. Besides, what reason would I have to lie to you? We're on the same side!"
Ye Longlin said helplessly. He couldn't do anything if he himself didn't believe him, as he was telling the truth.
Yesterday evening, Xuanwu had called to report this news. At first, he also didn't believe it, but after Xuanwu showed him the software and system they had developed, Ye Longlin fell silent. It was too similar, too convincing, able to completely pass for the real thing!
And there was also the UnionPay interface!
What the heck... it was just missing the software certificate to be put on the market, right?
Tang Zihan, with a look of doubt, operated the system and directly bought ten billion worth of Juxing Group's stock. Then... there was no reaction from the other party.
"Perhaps they haven't woken up yet. Let's see later."
Tang Zihan still didn't believe it, and Ye Longlin was very helpless.
They waited until noon, and the other party still showed no reaction. Only then did he gradually start to believe.
"Alright, strike when it's time. Let's create a time difference with them while they're not reacting. There's an upper limit to buying stocks. Today, let's completely suppress their stock!"
Longge's covering program was like the "Panda Burning Incense" virus. Once infiltrated, it was almost impossible to crack. Even if the network was disconnected and the computer restarted, one couldn't tell if it was real or fake.
"Okay!"
Meanwhile, Juxing Group, like them, after buying billions worth of their stock with real money, suddenly found that the other party had no response. They weren't fools either. After their stock was bought, they would definitely retaliate. But the problem was, why was there no reaction from the other side?
"Is your side done?"
Bai Qi came to the technical department and asked.
The head of the technical department nodded, "We've breached their network. We've cut off all their network access and replaced their original program with a simulated stock trading one. They still think they're honestly engaged in a business war with us."
Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction, "Very good. Each person in the technical department will receive a bonus of ten thousand, to be distributed next month."
"Thank you, Mr. Bai! Thank you, Mr. Bai."
Both sides were causing trouble in secret and secretly replacing each other's software programs, each believing they had victory in their grasp. Thus, their vigilance had been lowered. They hadn't even considered whether their own software was real or had been replaced by the other side.
"Since we've replaced their program, there's no rush. We can take our time. Oh, and take over their official website and post a message using their official channels, saying that Baichuan Group will be dissolved in half a month."
"Understood!"
The technical staff operated quickly. Then Bai Qi took out his phone, opened the other party's official website from his phone, and indeed saw the announcement with the official seal.
Bai Qi grinned, feeling satisfied, and returned to the finance department.
Meanwhile, Tang Zihan logged into his computer, lowered the other party's stock issuance price, and had Ye Longlin arrange for people to spread rumors about Juxing Group. Soon, negative news and public opinion about Juxing Group appeared on various forums, stock groups, and investor groups. Many shareholders began to sell their stocks, and as they sold, Tang Zihan quickly bought them up.
This made many people dumbfounded because they hadn't expected someone to immediately take over after they sold. However, this was a good thing for the shareholders.
Throughout the entire afternoon, Tang Zihan was collecting scattered shares, accumulating over twenty billion worth of stock in total.
Of course, what was even more interesting was that when the market closed at five in the afternoon, Xuanwu called Ye Longlin to report that throughout the day, Longge had received 16.8 billion funds from the other party, which meant the other party had bought 16.8 billion worth of Baichuan Group's stock.
"How's that, is this profit-making speed fast enough?"
Ye Longlin said with a smile to Tang Zihan, a smile appearing on his lips.
Tang Zihan glanced at Ye Longlin and sneered, "If it weren't for Longge, do you really think it would be this simple? I was ready to make a grand move, but you're making me, a stock manager of a Great Xia Steward Group, play these childish games. It's truly boring."
Ye Longlin chuckled wryly, "Don't worry, it won't be long before they discover it's fake. When they do, that's when the real frenzy will begin."
He didn't refute this statement because it was the truth. After all, who wouldn't be furious if they were deceived for such a long time, let alone them.
A hundred billion in a single day, and the later it got, the less likely such small figures would appear. They would definitely increase their investments exponentially, but it all depended on when they found out and when they would seek revenge.
"They tried to hack into our network, but they were intercepted. And we created a fake official website for them to play with. I wonder how angry they'll be when they realize it was all fake, hahahaha."
Thinking of Bai Qi's expression, Ye Longlin couldn't help but laugh, finding it truly amusing.
Tang Zihan rolled his eyes. He didn't say anything, but it felt like he had said everything.
