After setting up his office, Ye Fan's desk faced Hu Jing's along the wall, with both of their backs to the same side wall, so they couldn't see what the other was doing specifically.
Of course, Ye Fan's position was certainly not as good as Hu Jing's.
Ye Fan sat at his desk, turned on the computer, and then breached the firewall to see how his US Nasdaq stock account was performing.
Last night at midnight (note: daytime in the United States is exactly opposite to that in China), he had opened an account on Nasdaq and transferred 300 million US dollars from Swiss International Bank, then authorized Robert Laurenson to manage and operate the account.
He checked and saw that the money from his main securities account had been distributed across nineteen subaccounts, and that seven of those accounts had bought about 10 million dollars worth of stocks at the day's low price for Tongyi Group.
