Chapter 442 Now It's Atlas' Turn

The first ray of sunlight in the morning penetrated the heavy clouds and sprinkled on the glass curtain wall of the Atlas Group headquarters. This high-rise building, which rose from the ground on the Flower Cluster-Peony Star with the support of Alanita, took over the title of "Tower of Babel" and became the new headquarters building of the Atlas Group.

As for the previous manor, Alanita did not take it back, but sold it to Atlas at a "friendly price".

In addition to the "psychic interest class" where the psychic master Ian Fury and 13 psychic children were, the other areas of the manor were transformed into a sanatorium for internal employees of the group to go on vacation or to recuperate during personal vacations.

In the main conference room of the headquarters building, Isabel and a group of company executives-especially the "experts" of the financial business center after the structural upgrade, were connecting with Amber, who was far away in the A-Bava-Ku asteroid fortress, for a remote meeting.

"Our fortress defense last night was very successful, and we successfully thwarted the military-industrial complex's plan to solve the problem with force. I can say with certainty that after this armed conflict, the military strength of the federal military-industrial complex will not be restored for several years."

After washing up, Amber spoke in a calm and powerful voice, and the senior management in the conference room were also looking at him.

"But now is not the time to hold a celebration banquet, because the real battle has just begun."

"That's right."

Isabelle took the initiative to take over the conversation after noticing Amber's gaze.

"Our public relations team has already started to work, ensuring that every piece of news that is beneficial to us can be spread quickly. The 'Eye of Truth' will also broadcast live the battlefield situation near the asteroid fortress. At the same time, a group of 'neutral media' that have nothing to do with Atlas and have secretly established by the public relations department will also report on this incident.

In short, we will make full use of our advantages in this regard and launch the first wave of counterattacks from public opinion."

Listening to Isabel's arrangement, Amber nodded and continued:

"Very good, but our goal is not only to win this public opinion war, the counterattack in the capital market is the real heavy punch to the military-industrial complex.

As for the first target you reported by the Financial Business Department, I personally have no objection~Pochi Heavy Industry

Well, just follow the previously approved 'counterattack plan' to do it, and it is also a good choice to use it as a 'sacrifice'~"

——

As the night of Peony Star gradually deepened, in the deep space somewhere near the capital galaxy in the Federation, the 'Compound Income' business trading ship dedicated to the Atlas Group slowly unfolded the conventional communication antenna and quantum communication equipment that had been hidden.

The communication business department also opened an independent quantum entanglement communication channel for this business trading ship to ensure that it will not be affected by any network fluctuation factors in the next operation.

The real-time trading hall in the ship is as bright as day at this time, and the huge virtual screen displays the stock price, trading volume and trading speed and other fluctuation data as of the closing of the previous trading day in real time.

After Atlas provided the service of quantum entanglement communication technology to the Federation and the Empire, the first to apply this technology was the securities, futures and mineral trading market.

The secondary trading markets in various galaxies, which were originally relatively independent, were connected to the trading center in the capital through quantum entanglement communication technology. The time difference and information gap between the two sides were basically eliminated as the technology continued to reduce communication delays in multiple upgrades.

This also brought three obvious effects to the entire financial market.

First, the information gap advantage of the Atlas Financial Business Center disappeared.

When everyone's speed of obtaining information returned to the same starting line, the people in the financial business center could no longer use their previous advantages to "grab and rob" in the market. Instead, they started to confront the financial elites of major groups head-on.

Second, when 90% of the sub-trading centers can synchronize information, the bloodiness of real-time trading in the financial market will rise to a new level.

In the past, the "tactics" formulated by major companies based on their own advantages or disadvantages in information and time will all be thrown into the garbage dump.

The battle in the financial market has also returned to the most traditional and primitive capital game. The "basic skills" such as information acquisition and analysis capabilities, trading algorithms, liquidity management, and risk control at the same starting line have once again become the key to victory or defeat.

Third, the emergence of quantum entanglement communication technology has brought a new type of ship, the "business trading ship", onto the historical stage.

These modified destroyers or light cruisers, after canceling the original weapon units and hangars and other facilities, put a large-scale and fully functional trading center into the ship.

Then, through the "keys" officially granted to each company, these "business trading ships" can become mobile trading markets sailing in the universe, allowing the business trading departments of major companies to complete transactions in a timely manner anytime and anywhere.

When these companies are ready to target a secondary securities exchange, the business trading ships will gather like sharks smelling blood, and operate within the galaxy with a faster response time.

After all, at a distance of dozens of light years and less than one light year, although quantum entanglement communication technology does not make much difference in the effect of conventional communication, it still has a certain impact on financial business transactions that respond in milliseconds.

As for the official securities exchange?

The only ones who go here now are some private VIP users, asset managers and nearby retail investors.

Larry Williams, director of the Securities Trading Department of the Financial Business Center of the Atlas Group, stood on a high platform in the real-time trading hall inside the "Compound Income" and looked around. This is the front line of the battlefield and the position he commands.

He also knows that in the deep space of multiple galaxies in the Federation, there are dozens of business trading ships that have recently completed transformations, just like the "Compound Income", waiting for the battle to start.

Larry's eyes are fixed on the main screen in front of him, on which a large number of target companies selected by the Atlas Group are scrolling.

Among them, the focus is on the stock code and the quotation of Boqi Heavy Industry, one of the main forces in the Federal Military-Industrial Complex Camp, as of the closing of the last trading day.

At this moment, there are only five minutes left before the opening of the first trading day of this week. Because it is the beginning of the week and after two days of rest, the energy accumulated in the market is already very large.

According to Larry's experience, the market trend in the first half hour of Monday is crucial to grasp the buying and selling direction of the day.

Although the other people in the real-time trading hall on the ship were all "strong generals" carefully selected by the financial business center earlier, they were a little nervous when they thought of the heavy responsibility they shouldered, even these old hands who had completed the "Dragon Field Enlightenment" were a little nervous.

The fingers of the trading department manager tapped gently in the air like playing the piano. It was his trading habit for many years, a way to stay calm under pressure.

"Are you ready?"

Larry's voice spread throughout the hall through the microphone. All traders immediately stopped their actions and looked at him, waiting for the next instruction.

Soon, a cold and capable female voice replied: "The first wave of sell orders is ready, the algorithmic trading system is in place, and we are just waiting for the opening."

This is the voice of Linda Bradford, the technical director. The screen in front of her shows complex algorithmic models and risk assessment indicators.

These algorithmic models and indicators are carefully designed with the assistance of Lilith to predict market reactions and minimize their own risks.

Larry nodded and didn't say anything, but looked at the top of the main screen. After noticing his action, other people in the trading hall also looked over - that was the local time of the Federal Securities Exchange Center in the federal capital.

As time changed by the second, it finally came to the number '08:30:00', and Larry's firm and clear voice also sounded.

"Begin to act."

As the order was issued, a green cursor suddenly lit up in the upper left corner of the main screen, which was the signal for the Atlas Group's algorithmic trading system to start.

This system, which was also developed with the assistance of Lilith, is part of the "secret weapon" of the Securities and Exchange Department. It is directly driven by one of Lilith's clones and can complete complex trading decisions within milliseconds. Its accuracy and speed far exceed similar systems of other companies.

"The sell order has been put on the market!"

A trader reported: "The system is automatically matching the best price."

On the screen, you can see that the algorithmic trading system is analyzing market data at lightning speed.

After Lilith's long-term "training", the deep learning model of this system is enough to predict market reactions. At the same time, through high-frequency trading strategies, it seizes the ever-changing market opportunities, executes transactions in milliseconds, and ensures that the sell orders are executed at the best price.

At the same time, under the settings of traders, this system will automatically disperse the sell orders to different trading platforms and time windows to avoid causing excessive market fluctuations.

"The system detects market response." Linda's voice sounded again, "The sell orders are being digested by the market, and the stock price has begun to show a downward trend."

Larry's eyes were fixed on the stock price curve of Boqi Heavy Industry displayed on the screen. The curve was like a mountain about to collapse, slowly tilting downward.

But he was not surprised or excited, because this was the inevitable result of their careful layout.

"Adjust the distribution of sell orders!"

The former senior trader ordered: "Optimize the algorithm parameters according to market feedback to ensure that our sell orders can continue to exert pressure!"

"Received, Minister!"

At this time, in the background, the algorithmic trading system of Atlas Group began to adjust itself, analyzing the data of each transaction.

Including information such as trading volume, depth of buy and sell orders, and trading frequency, and then dynamically adjust the scale and timing of sell orders based on the analysis results derived from this information to achieve maximum suppression of Boqi Heavy Industry's stock price.

Soon, the decline in Boqi Heavy Industry's stock price caused a chain reaction. It was "deeply bound" to the military-industrial complex, and the stocks of other companies in the military-industrial complex began to be affected.

This fluctuation soon caused a greater impact, especially when the stock price curve of Boqi Heavy Industry was projected on the big screen by various local trading centers, allowing investors to focus on it. This impact spread like a virus.

After all, giant companies like Boqi Heavy Industry have a very high degree of attention among investors, and there are also many independent investors holding its stocks.

No one expected that someone would short a giant company like Boqi Heavy Industry just after the opening of the market today, and it seemed to be coming in full force, and even had initial results.

Investors' panic also began to spread, and many ordinary investors who didn't know why also began to sell, which led to more sell orders, forming a vicious cycle.

"The market reacted strongly!" Linda's voice was a little excited, "Our sell order strategy is working, and the stock prices of enterprises in the military-industrial complex have fallen by more than 4% overall."

"Got it, keep vigilant!" Larry reminded calmly.

"Pay close attention to market dynamics, the other party is not a soft persimmon, be ready to deal with possible counterattacks at any time."

While opening his mouth to remind, Larry's modified retina also refreshed the current "battle situation" of other business trading ships. A large number of short-selling orders were pouring out like a storm, targeting Boqi Heavy Industry and its several subsidiaries.

The short-selling strategies of each business trading ship are also different. From traditional short-selling to complex derivative contracts, each step has been precisely calculated in the "layout stage" after the end of the Battle of Pella IV, aiming to maximize the market reaction.

Time passed by minute by minute, and just as Larry was thinking about the situation he might face next, a new situation emerged.

"Minister, we have detected abnormal trading activities!"

A trader's voice sounded, with a hint of nervousness, "A large number of buy orders have poured in to try to support the stock price."

Larry's heart skipped a beat. He knew that this was the allies of Boqi Heavy Industries starting to take action. As a member of the military-industrial complex, when Boqi Heavy Industries encountered a crisis, other companies could not just sit back and watch.

The senior trader unconsciously constructed a battlefield picture in his mind. The algorithmic trading systems of the enemy and us were like two beasts fighting on this battlefield, and the other side was constantly trying to devour the sell orders in the market to stabilize the stock price.

"Start adjusting strategies and parameters!" Larry's voice was firm and decisive. The calmness of the older generation of traders and analysts was fully reflected at this moment.

"Increase the frequency and dispersion of the release of sell orders to ensure that our actions will not be easily predicted or blocked."

The traders who received the instructions responded quickly and began to execute the new instructions.

Atlas Group's algorithmic trading system also adjusted its parameters again, and more and more scattered sell orders fell on the market like raindrops, trying to break through the "defense line" of Boqi Heavy Industry and its allies.

When the news that the "unknown organization" shorted Boqi Heavy Industry in the market became the most concerned news for relevant people, several explosive news that were revealed immediately after that were like multiple 3,000-pound bombs landing, completely detonating the entire market.

"The federal giant's joint fleet suffered a tragic Waterloo, and the Atlas Group's thunderbolt shocked the world's business community!"

"The storm of "quality gate"-Boqi Heavy Industry is deeply trapped in the quality quagmire, how can consumer rights be guaranteed?!"

"The tragedy is revealed! The desperate act of the "whistleblower" shocked the industry. What secrets are hidden behind Boqi Heavy Industry?"
