Chapter 447 System Log

After the secret meeting, many companies in the military-industrial complex, either actively or forcedly, followed the instructions of Mrs. Paris and began to mobilize all available funds, preparing to fight a decisive battle with Atlas when the market opens next Monday.

At the same time, some people with complex relationships began to lobby some congressmen, trying to drag the federal government into the water.

While the military-industrial complex was actively preparing, they also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, Atlas's voice seemed to have suddenly disappeared over the weekend.

Except for the live broadcast of "Space Jingguan" in the live broadcast room of "Eye of Reality", Atlas had no other actions, and the large number of revelations about the military-industrial complex on the Internet suddenly stopped, as if someone had pressed the pause button on Atlas.

Many people began to speculate whether Atlas had a problem, or whether the federal government had secretly contacted Atlas and tried to mediate, which led to the silence of the past two days.

Although there are quite a few people who have such thoughts within the military-industrial complex, the remaining majority of people, including Paris and Hamilton, the "core members", remain vigilant.

In this way, under the attention of countless people with different purposes and thoughts, time once again came to the opening of a new week.

However, nothing happened.

The much-anticipated Monday trading day slowly came to an end at the closing bell at 16:00 Federal Capital time.

There was no bloody fight as everyone imagined, nor was there the overwhelming revelation like last week. The whole day passed peacefully.

Then came Tuesday and Wednesday, until the closing bell on Friday.

After a calm week, both the onlookers and the military-industrial complex at the center of the vortex were a little confused, because such a result was something they had never expected.

Atlas, which was still killing in the stock market last week, or those short-selling institutions and hedge funds that seemed to have nothing to do with Atlas, seemed to have "gotten away with one blow", and there was no movement for a whole week.

Atlas officials did not do anything big this week, but began to promote the tourist route of the "corporate fleet graveyard" in a serious manner.

In this case, many people began to wonder if this was Atlas's delaying tactic, in order to let the military-industrial complex relax its vigilance before taking action.

But this kind of calm days lasted for more than half a month in a row, and the huge contrast made everyone a little uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the stock price of Boqi Heavy Industry, which was cut in half and then fell, everyone even thought that the stock market war half a month ago was just a dream.

What's more outrageous is that the stock prices of the giant companies in the military-industrial complex, which were originally affected by the "destruction of the joint fleet", began to slowly recover during this period.

In particular, the Nutao Group, as if it had been injected with a shot of cardiotonic, suddenly came alive, and its stock price even exceeded the price before the conflict broke out.

As we all know, the Internet has no memory, and the public's vision will not always be focused on one place, especially when the Federation is still at war with the Empire.

Therefore, most people's attention was quickly attracted by the news that the Federation and the Empire had massively increased their troops on the front line. Except for some stakeholders, the conflict between Atlas and the military-industrial complex was no longer worthy of attention.

Just when this "farce" seemed to be about to end so absurdly, the A. Bawa. Ku Asteroid Fortress also welcomed a group of guests from afar.

"I didn't expect you to come in person. In fact, you can just ask the team to come."

In a deployment bay of the asteroid fortress, Amber looked at Alanita who arrived with a large group of elves, and said with some surprise.

"After thinking about it, I still want to witness it with my own eyes. After all, I am also a major shareholder of Atlas, right?"

Alanita said with a smile, and then walked to Amber's side generously.

"Let's go. Take me on a tour of this place today. It's a pity that Isabel is not here, otherwise I could have a few drinks with her~"

"Isabel is almost too busy in the headquarters building, and we don't have time to drink. We will start the operation in more than 20 hours."

Amber pursed her lips, then took Alanita to the special vehicle parked at the exit, and continued:

"Are you sure your team doesn't need to adapt? If you come here on time, you will have to start working directly after a break."

"No, they are all professionals, and isn't the 'protagonist' of this decisive battle the 'new trading system' you mentioned?"

Alanita showed a playful smile on her face. The reason why she came in person, in addition to meeting Amber and visiting the asteroid fortress, is also one of the reasons for her curiosity about the trading system that Atlas used half a month ago.

"Curiosity kills the cat, Ms. Alanita."

Amber stopped and looked into the eyes of the female elf and said.

"It's okay, I'm not a cat, and I want to know something after this 'decisive battle'." Alanita said, and then leaned close to Amber's ear. Her breath made Amber's ears feel a little itchy, and her words also reached Amber's ears.

"After all this is over, I think we have plenty of time to communicate~"

——

In the early morning of May 17, 590 in the New Calendar, while many people were still sleeping, a belated storm began to brew quietly.

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 03:30:00

Targeting: Nutao Group

Short-selling institutions: Citron Consortium, Undercurrent Capital, Nightfall Fund, Muddy Waters Group, Yuge Capital.”

In the virtual space, Lilith quietly looked at the messages flashing before her eyes. This was the log of her upgraded 'Intelligent Business Warfare System'.

She knew that today was a very important day for Amber and Atlas, so she decided to personally watch the operation of this new system.

“The target company’s current stock price is stable and it has begun to implement the first phase of the plan.

Execution: Create public opinion

Action: Start the shadow account group. "

As the order was issued, tens of millions of carefully designed virtual accounts became active at the same time.

They began to spread negative news about Nutao Group on major social media platforms, ranging from technical loopholes to management scandals to the "power and wealth transactions" between Nutao Group and many federal lawmakers and senior officials. Not included.

And 90% of these are real negative news, with pictures or videos as evidence.

Soon, these news spread quickly. After all, the Federation has such a huge territory, and not every place is as early in the morning as the capital. Therefore, these sudden explosion news still aroused widespread public attention.

Including Paris, a group of senior officials in the military-industrial complex were all awakened from their sleep by their assistants.

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 04:15:00

Public opinion influence index: 37%

Preparations before the stock market opens: Ready”

In the securities trading hall of Nutao Group, chief trader Ma En, who was also woken from his sleep, stared at the screen in front of him. Although the stock market has not yet opened, the pre-market trading data has begun to refresh.

It is not difficult to tell from Ma En's expression at this moment that these data must not look good.

He also received an urgent notice from his superiors before, asking him to pay close attention to the group's stock dynamics.

However, before he could react to the data, the stock price of Nutao Group on the screen had begun to fluctuate violently.

"What's going on?!" Ma En said nervously, "Why are the fluctuations in pre-market trading like this?"

After Sara, the trader next to him, heard what he said, she was also nervously checking the virtual screen around her, and news from the group's intelligence collection department soon came on it.

"The intelligence department said that negative news is fermenting at an extremely fast speed and there is an unstoppable trend!"

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 07:00:00

Stock price: 264.00 credit points/share → 211.20 credit points/share

Stock price drop: 20%”

Mrs. Paris was sitting at the desk in her office, her face solemn. She had received urgent reports from various departments—Nutong Group had become the primary target of public opinion attacks.

"We need to hold a press conference immediately to clarify these rumors." Paris frowned, looked at the director of the public relations department standing aside and said: "Your public relations department, prepare a statement immediately."

After hearing her words, Public Relations Director Amy said with some concern: "But according to the report of the Securities and Exchange Department, the market sentiment is very unstable now. I am worried that issuing a statement may cause a greater rebound."

Mrs. Paris took a deep breath: "We must find a way to save the situation before the end of pre-market trading. If we remain silent, the situation will only get worse."

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 08:15:00

Stock price: 211.20 credit points/share → 147.84 credit points/share

Stock price decline: 43.75%

Task: Create network delay

Execution: Network Interference

Action: Start communication delay procedure"

Soon, Nutao Group and other major members of the military-industrial complex experienced unilateral network delays in their trading systems.

This phenomenon directly resulted in their inability to accurately complete pre-market trading operations, further exacerbating stock price fluctuations.

In the trading hall of Nutao Group's headquarters, Ma En also found that his trading system began to experience abnormalities. Every time he tried to perform key operations, he encountered obvious delays.

"Sarah, there seems to be something wrong with our system!"

Ma En said anxiously: "My key instructions are always executed half a beat later."

"I have the same problem, what's going on?"

Sarah on the side was also full of confusion and nervousness. Obviously, the problem was not limited to Ma En's system.

Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Ma En quickly contacted the group's IT department and said quickly before the other party could speak:

"Listen, the group's trading system has a serious delay problem. The market will open in ten minutes. If it can't be solved, there will be a big problem!"

"We've discovered the problem!"

IT director Christopher's voice on the other end of the phone sounded nervous: "Technicians are investigating this problem, but the communication system self-check is normal. It looks like a regular network fluctuation, but the duration is abnormal."

"Hey! I don't understand this. I just need you to figure out a way to solve the problem!"

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 08:30:00

Status: Stock market opened

Current target network delay: 8 seconds

Stock price: 147.84 credit points/share → 110.00 credit points/share

Stock price drop: 25.6%

Stock price drops to the predetermined range, execute the second phase plan.

Execution: Short selling

Operation: Guide various institutions to take action"

Led by Yuge Capital, the short selling institutions and hedge funds secretly controlled by Atlas Group immediately took action after the opening.

While selling the stocks they had originally increased their holdings during this period, they also borrowed a large amount of stocks from Nutao Group and sold them under the operation of the algorithmic trading system.

Almost at the moment of opening, the selling pressure in the market suddenly increased, and the stock price of Nutao Group plummeted like a kite with a broken string.

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 09:00:00

Expected short position: 270,000,000 shares

Current price: 110.00 credit points/share

Stock price hits bottom, execute the third phase plan

Execution: Buy stocks

Operation: Start all account groups"

This unforeseen offensive caused the stock of Nutao Group to reach the lowest point in the market in a short period of time, and then the account group of Atlas began to buy a large number of Nutao Group's stocks.

With the influx of a large number of buy orders, the stock price began to slowly recover, but this also means that the institutions on the Atlas side hold a large number of Nutao Group stocks at a very low price.

If Atlas Group chooses to go public later and holds all the stocks held by these institutions, then a very funny situation will appear-becoming one of the major shareholders of Nutao Group.

"【System Log】: 590-05-17 09:30:00

Successfully purchased stocks: 270,000,000 shares

Average purchase price: 90.00 credit points/share

Current stock price: 100.00 credit points/share"

In the meeting room of the Nutao Group, Mrs. Paris looked at the report in her hand with a frown.

Although the stock price has rebounded, the group has suffered heavy losses, and she also realized that those institutions that are besieging the Nutao Group already hold a large share of the stock.

This is a very dangerous signal.

At this moment, she had to admit that this sudden offensive completely exceeded her previous expectations.

But at this juncture, she found that there seemed to be not much she and the group could do.

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 11:00:00

Stock price: 100.00 credit points/share → 110.00 credit points/share

Stock price increase: 10%

Scheduled plan completed.

"[System Log]: 590-05-17 12:00:00

Short positions closed: 270,000,000 shares

Average purchase price: 90.00 credit points/share

Expected profit: about 54 billion credit points"

In the core conference room of the A. Bawa. Ku asteroid fortress, Amber gasped when she saw the report compiled by the financial business center.

With the assistance of Lilith's algorithmic trading system, these guys can no longer be described as "ruthless", they are simply cruel.

The market value of the Nutao Group, which originally had a market value of more than 800 billion credit points, shrunk to more than 330 billion after just one morning. This result can be said to have completely exceeded Amber's expectations.

"I originally thought this would be a protracted battle." After reading the report, Amber looked up at the other people in the conference room, and their faces were also filled with excited smiles at this moment.

"But now it seems that it seems to have fast-forwarded directly to the 'harvest' stage?"
