The next morning, around ten o'clock, Ye Fan received a call from Wall Street's top trader, Robert Laurenson.
"Respected Black Dragon, the infiltration is basically complete," Robert Laurenson said over the phone, "If you are sure you want to short the Tongyi Group's stocks, please arrange twelve billion US dollars by Thursday. I will launch the attack on Tongyi Group on Thursday, US time."
"Next Thursday?" Ye Fan asked.
Robert Laurenson replied, "Yes. The weakest moment for a stock during the week is on Thursday. If you want to short it, it's easier to cause a sharp fall in the stock price. Hence, there's a saying in the stock market about 'Black Thursday.'"
