Chapter 264: Even a thick road is useless
"Mr. Huang?"
Huang Xiaochuan looked up and saw that it was a trader from Haitong Securities. He had spent the whole day with this guy in the VIP room that day, and Huang had even given him a big red envelope of eight thousand yuan after the market closed.
"Little Sun?"
"Oh my! It really is you? If I had known it was you here, I would have come to see you first." Sun Tong strode up to Huang Xiaochuan, took out his hand, and shook it vigorously.
"It's alright, it's alright. A friend invited me to dinner, just like you. We're both guests, no need to be so polite." Seeing how enthusiastic Sun Tong was, Huang Xiaochuan could only exchange pleasantries with him.
The others stood there, looking at the two with blank expressions. They didn't know why Sun Tong was being so polite to a young man. Sun Tong was an investment manager at Haitong Securities and served Ding the stock god. He was someone many people fawned over. Why was he being so respectful to a young man? If it weren't for the wrong surname, they would have thought the stock god had arrived.
Sun Tong and another trader, Han Cheng, had signed a confidentiality agreement with Haitong Securities. One clause in the agreement strictly prohibited the disclosure of client identities; violators would face consequences ranging from dismissal to economic or even criminal charges.
Moreover, Sun Tong had an extremely deep impression of what happened that day. This Mr. Huang was accompanied by the legendary guards. No one could enter his VIP room that day, and he cleared out tens of millions of shares in one day. He was the first client in the securities company's history to have a single-day trading volume of over ten million. At that time, the entire company, from top to bottom, kept silent about his true identity and dared not say a word.
That's why Sun Tong was so respectful to Huang Xiaochuan. This is a true financial tycoon; even if the other people in the private room were all together, they couldn't compare to Huang Xiaochuan alone.
Moreover, the stock market guru Ding Yi is currently using Mr. Huang's stock account at Haitong Securities, which indicates that the two have a very special relationship.
The atmosphere at the dinner party changed immediately after Sun Tong arrived. The attitude of the group towards Huang Xiaochuan changed from disdain to respect. Ge Changli was confused about what was going on. He knew a little about Huang Xiaochuan's situation. This brother had given him advice many times, which helped him make a lot of money in the stamp market and warrants.
But judging from Sun Tong's attitude towards him today, it seems that there are still many things he doesn't know.
When you're out in the world, you have to know the rules. Of course, Sun Tong wouldn't and wouldn't dare to reveal Huang Xiaochuan's true identity to the others present. After shaking hands with Ge Changli, Tan Yu, and the others in a proper manner, he sat down to the left of Huang Xiaochuan.
Ge Changli and Tan Yu were at a loss for what to do. Should they invite Sun Tong to sit in the seat of honor? Judging from the situation, he definitely wouldn't. Should they let Huang Xiaochuan sit in the seat of honor? He's been sitting there for ages, and he probably won't move.
This was awkward. After thinking for a moment, Ge Changli decided to simply leave the seat of honor empty to avoid any trouble.
The banquet continued, but the atmosphere took a turn for the worse.
Tan Yu and the others became increasingly curious about Huang Xiaochuan's identity. Wasn't he supposed to be a college student?
Tan Yu picked up his wine glass and walked over to Ge Changli, saying, "Section Chief Ge, isn't that a bit unfriendly of you? You didn't even introduce us properly, and we almost neglected our distinguished guest."
Then, with a beaming smile, he turned to Huang Xiaochuan, who was sitting next to Ge Changli, and said, "Mr. Huang, I, Tan, was blind to your talent. Please forgive me. You can have whatever you want."
After saying that, he downed a large glass of red wine in one gulp, and then showed the empty glass to Huang Xiaochuan.
Seeing this situation, Huang Xiaochuan thought, "Damn it, if I stay here any longer, I won't be able to eat."
He stood up and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Tan. I suddenly remembered that I have something to attend to. Well then, I'll toast everyone and take my leave now. Hope we can meet again another day."
After saying that, he raised his glass of red wine to toast everyone, and then drank it all in one gulp.
He put down his wine glass and said apologetically to Ge Changli, "Old Ge, I'll be going now. I'll invite you to dinner another day."
After saying that, Cola Novels—your personal mobile library, accessible anytime. He patted Sun Tong on the shoulder, smiled at him, and left.
Sun Tong understood perfectly well the meaning behind Huang Xiaochuan's pat on the shoulder: to make him shut his mouth.
He quickly followed Ge Changli to see Huang Xiaochuan out of the hotel, and only returned to the hotel after Huang Xiaochuan's car had left.
Sun Tong complained to Ge Changli, "Section Chief Ge, I considered you a friend, how come you never told me you knew Mr. Huang?"
Ge Changli was so frustrated! You didn't even ask me! Besides, you still haven't told me what's going on between you and Xiao Chuan!
Sun Tong waved his hand: "I really can't say. Since you know Mr. Huang, you might as well just ask him directly."
Then, glancing meaningfully at Ge Changli, he said, "Mr. Ge, are you begging for food while holding a golden bowl?"
And then he refused to utter another word.
Back in the private room, Tan Yu and the others tried to find out more about Huang Xiaochuan from Sun Tong, but Sun Tong refused to reveal a single word, even though Tan Yu and the others hinted that they were willing to offer him benefits.
Since Sun Tong refused to say, the group didn't press him for the time being, because they had another important matter they wanted Sun Tong to help with: they wanted him to introduce them to "stock god" Ding Yi.
To avoid his family squandering his savings, Ding Gungun is now using the stock accounts of Huang Xiaochuan, Wu Duo, and others. With Huang Xiaochuan's support, he has an abundance of funds, allowing him to manipulate the stock market at will. Moreover, his trading style is ruthless and precise, and many stock speculators have been ruined by him.
Because of his outstanding track record, many people now want to get to know him and entrust him with their funds. Unfortunately, he is a loner and no one can get close to him. A few people had crooked ideas and asked someone to scare Ding Yi in an attempt to force him to comply.
Unfortunately, within just a few days, these people went to jail for one thing or another. They already had dirty hands, and then they messed with the wrong people. So why not just go to jail? And it's said that based on what they did, they're definitely going to spend their lives in jail.
With these lessons learned, those who originally intended to do something crooked became wary. What they thought was an easy target turned out to be a hard, unyielding piece of titanium alloy.
"Manager Sun, let's be frank. If you're willing to introduce us to Stock God Ding, we're willing to give you this amount." Tan Yu said, extending a hand.
Sun Tong looked at Tan Yu and said, "Boss Tan, this isn't about money. We've known each other for a long time. Let me tell you the truth: if I dare to agree to this, I'll be fired tomorrow. I don't know if you'll be okay then, but I'll definitely lose my job."
To prove his point, Sun Tong added, "You all know Qian Wangen, right? Yi Ludao is quite powerful, isn't he? He's a tycoon with connections in both the legal and illegal worlds, isn't he?"
Tan Yu and the others, including Ge Changli, all nodded.
"They're inside now. Do you know why they're inside?"
"We've heard about this; it seems to be related to Ding the Stock God."
Sun Tong sneered: "A connection? This bastard actually sent someone to threaten Mr. Ding, saying that if he didn't cooperate with him, he would have someone assassinate him. As a result, he was arrested the next day. It is said that he gets beaten up every day in there. Moreover, the backer behind him also suffered bad luck. Now we hear that he has disappeared without a trace. Some people say that he was invited to a place for tea."
"Qian Wangen is just overestimating himself. Does he think he can solve everything by fighting and killing with his own methods? I've disliked him for a long time. He's always been a troublemaker. Now he's settling old scores with new ones. If things go wrong, he might even get a beating."
The group gasped in shock. This was terrifying! Qian Wangen, a man with connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, was sent to jail so easily, and his backer was no ordinary person! They were all caught in the crossfire. What kind of power did he have?
