I Have Divorced Your Sister, Why Are You Not Leaving? - Chapter 13

Chapter 13 The Boiling Five Tiger Generals—This Freaking Works Too!

From his earlier understanding of them, Li Mo knew the Five Tiger Generals were convinced.

Li Mo…

Since he intended to dive into instant messaging, he absolutely had his own ideas and was fully prepared!

But what no one expected was—

He actually planned to make ten million in the stock market?

Ma Tengyun picked up his teacup and took a sip, but his hand wouldn’t stop trembling.

He realized…

Working under Li Mo made it impossible to stay calm.

Making ten million in the stock market—

In just one day?

This…

Was nothing short of a fantasy.

“Mr. Mo, do you know what it means to earn ten million in a single day in the stock market?”

“If this were ten years ago, it might have been possible.”

“With leverage, that is.”

Ma Tengyun had once made a fortune in the stock market himself.

But…

That was a long, long time ago.

The stock market… had long since passed its golden age of explosive growth.

Back then…

You could say even a pig could throw money at any stock and watch it skyrocket!

Now…

The market had slowly stabilized.

Some years, there weren’t even major fluctuations.

Under these conditions, how could anyone make ten million in a day?

Li Mo tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

“Of course I know.”

Zhang Zhidong thought for a moment but still added:

“The stock market’s volatility is extremely low now.”

“Even a one-point swing is considered a major movement.”

“To make ten million, you’d need roughly a hundred million in capital.”

Li Mo nodded…

“Correct. Everyone’s understanding of the stock market is accurate.”

“After all, you’ve all dabbled in it to some extent.”

Li Mo knew the men before him were all accomplished in their own right.

Most had played the stock market before.

“The current market indeed has little volatility.”

“But you’ve all forgotten about leverage, haven’t you?”

“What’s leverage?”

Su Qingyan, standing to the side, looked puzzled.

All she knew was…

The consensus now was that the stock market was no longer a place to make money.

Even if you wanted to profit…

You’d have to hold stocks for three to five years just to see modest returns.

And that was under ideal conditions.

“Leverage is a tool that amplifies both gains and losses.”

“Simply put, if you believe a stock will rise…”

“You can use 10x leverage to enter a contract with the exchange—if the stock goes up, your profit is multiplied tenfold.”

“Conversely, if it drops by just 10%, your entire principal will be wiped out.”

Li Mo gave a brief explanation.

“So it’s incredibly easy to lose everything?”

Li Mo nodded.

“Exactly. The risk of losing it all is much higher.”

“But if we want to secure a ten-million profit…”

“This is the only way.”

“Tengyun.”

“I’ll assign each of you five sub-accounts. Follow my orders.”

Li Mo opened his laptop and created five sub-accounts under his trading profile.

Then, he deposited 1.5 million in capital.

He was grateful that the stock market’s rules here weren’t overly restrictive. From his phone research, he’d seen that in some parallel worlds, excessive trading regulations made it impossible to profit even with knowledge of major market trends.

“Understood.”

The Five Tiger Generals all opened their laptops, ready to follow Li Mo’s commands.

The remaining employees exchanged uneasy glances.

Just yesterday, they celebrated landing high-paying jobs.

But now, their boss seemed like a madman!

For a moment, everyone considered backing out.

“Little sister, sit down.”

“No need to stand all the time—it’s tiring.”

Su Qingyan blushed slightly. In her high heels, she really was exhausted.

“But in TV shows, secretaries always stand…”

Li Mo affectionately ruffled her hair.

“What nonsense. This is our own company—no need for formalities. Sit beside me.”

Su Qingyan happily pulled up a chair and sat next to Li Mo, eagerly massaging his shoulders.

Ma Tengyun couldn’t bear to watch. If Qingyan Investments were an empire…

Then Li Mo was undoubtedly a tyrant.

Authoritarian? Check. Indulging in beauty? Check. He ticked every box.

“Alright.”

“Ma Tengyun, find stock A1313.”

“Zhang Zhidong…”

Li Mo called out stock codes one by one, assigning one to each of the Five Tiger Generals.

The five of them tensed up immediately.

“Mr. Mo, what leverage ratio are we using?”

“2x?”

With 2x leverage, profits would double—but so would the risk.

“2x?”

“Too low.”

“50x leverage.”

“F-Fifty?!”

Chen Yidan, the multidisciplinary talent, nearly jumped out of his seat.

He’d once tried 50x leverage with just a thousand yuan—

And lost everything in half an hour.

Fiftyfold risk meant even the tiniest fluctuation could wipe them out!

“Tengyun.”

“In 13 seconds…”

“Open a 50x leveraged contract.”

*”Buy-in price: 133.12.”*

“Go long.”

“Zhang Yidan.”

“Seventeen seconds from now…”

“Open a 50x leveraged short position.”

“Full margin!”

Li Mo calmly issued orders on how to execute the contracts.

The Five Tiger Generals felt their hearts bleeding.

Each of them now controlled 300,000 in capital.

Using 50x leverage on that—

They were about to lose it all!

“Ma Tengyun, open the contract!”

Ma Tengyun, already poised for action, swiftly set up the contract as instructed.

Zhang Zhidong and the others followed Li Mo’s commands precisely.

Watching the barely fluctuating stock prices on their screens, all five were drenched in cold sweat.

“We’re about to lose it all!”

“Close the positions now!”

Ma Tengyun, seeing his profits plummet toward ruin, was on the verge of panic.

Li Mo, sitting calmly, glanced at him.

“Xiao Ma.”

“Those who achieve great things…”

“Must remain unshaken even if Mount Tai collapses before them.”

“With this temperament, how can I trust you with instant messaging in the future?”

Chastised, Ma Tengyun flushed with shame.

But…

A 50x leveraged contract was simply too nerve-wracking.

One misstep…

And everything would vanish.

The other four also bit back their panic, reminding themselves they were talents handpicked by Li Mo.

Finally, a minute later—

Profits began soaring!

“It’s rising!”

“The profits are coming in!”

“We’re up 20%!”

The Five Tiger Generals roared in exhilaration!

Watching the skyrocketing numbers, they could no longer contain their excitement!

“Fifty percent!”

“Sixty percent!”

“Ninety percent!”

“Zhang Yidan, close the position.”

Li Mo coolly ordered Zhang Yidan to liquidate.

“Zhang Zhidong, close.”

“Ma Tengyun, close.”

“Zeng Liqing, close.”

“Xu Chenye, close.”

Within just five minutes—

All five 50x leveraged contracts were settled.

And the balance in Li Mo’s trading account…

Had surged to over three million!

A profit of 1.6 million—

In just five minutes!

Instantly, the conference room erupted!

Ma Tengyun, red-faced and veins bulging, screamed profanities in excitement.

“HOLY SHT! HOLY SHT! THIS FREAKING WORKS! THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!”

The Five Tiger Generals roared in unison!

“DAMN! THIS IS INSANE!”

“1.5 MILLION! 1.5 MILLION JUST LIKE THAT!”

“THIS IS UNREAL! LONG LIVE MR. MO!”

Li Mo watched the frenzied celebration and rapped the table.

“Quiet. If you’re this worked up over a small win, how will you handle bigger things for me?”

“This is only the beginning.”
