Chapter 26: Market Insights and Million-Dollar Moves
The next morning, the Magic Capital's stock market was about to open.
Jiang Han sat in front of his computer, scrolling through the latest stock trends.
The system had leveled up to Level 2, unlocking more detailed real-time stock predictions.
At this moment, three stocks stood out:
[Dragon Kingdom Bio: Ultra-short-term return 7.2%, ultra-short-term 12 hours]
[Nebula Shares: 0.83% return in ultra-short term, 12 hours in ultra-short term]
[Kangjian Group: 20% return for ultra-short term, 12 hours in ultra-short term]
Jiang Han's eyes narrowed.
> Kangjian Group… 20% return?
This meant the stock had plummeted to its lower limit and then skyrocketed to the upper limit—a rare and highly profitable pattern!
As he analyzed the system, he noticed a small yellow triangle in the bottom-right corner of each stock.
Curious, he tapped on it.
> "On February 12, 2000, Kangjian Group opened at its lower limit and surged to its upper limit within an hour…"
Reading the detailed market trend, Jiang Han couldn't help but feel excited.
> If I play my cards right, I can make an easy 20% in just a few hours.
The system was only at Level 2, yet it was already this powerful. He could only imagine what future upgrades would unlock.
But there was one problem.
With 33.25 million yuan in capital and five times leverage, his total investment power exceeded hundreds of millions!
> With such a large sum, the stock exchange is bound to notice me.
To avoid drawing attention, he decided to spread his investments across multiple stocks.
Suddenly, Jiang Han noticed that Nebula Shares was displayed in light red text—something unusual.
> "System, what does the light red text indicate?"
> "Light red highlights stocks that show significant movements in the broader market."
Jiang Han's interest grew.
Though Nebula Shares' return rate was only 0.83%, its trend was highly volatile—a perfect opportunity for short-term profit.
He tapped the stock details:
> Opening price: 21.01 yuan
Morning drop: Hit the lower limit
9:58 AM: Surged to the upper limit of 24.7 yuan
Sudden drop: Fell back to lower limit
Closing price: 22.52 yuan
> If I buy at the opening price and sell at the peak, I can still make a solid 20% return!
Jiang Han made up his mind—his next targets were Kangjian Group and Nebula Shares.
Just then, Zhang Chongan walked in, tossing a coat toward Jiang Han.
> "Here, use my coat for now."
Jiang Han shook his head.
> "It's fine, I'm not cold."
Zhang Chongan smirked.
> "Junior brother, why didn't you go home last night? Were you having fun at a nightclub?"
Jiang Han chuckled bitterly.
> "No, I rented a place nearby. I'll be staying in the Magic Capital for a while, so I don't want to keep troubling you and sister-in-law."
Zhang Chongan laughed.
> "How could you be a bother? We'd be happy to have you stay."
Then, he glanced at the clock.
> "The market's about to open. Got any stocks in mind?"
Jiang Han's eyes gleamed with confidence.
> "I'm buying Kangjian Group and Nebula Shares."
The moment he said this, Zhang Chongan's face stiffened.
> "I wouldn't recommend either."
Jiang Han raised an eyebrow.
> "Why not?"
Zhang Chongan pulled up the stock charts on his computer.
> "Kangjian Group's performance has been mediocre for the past month. If you're looking at pharmaceutical stocks, you'd be better off with Luorun Shuanghe."
> "It has government backing and is still on an upward trend, while Kangjian Group is in decline."
Su Qingyi, who had been listening, frowned slightly.
> "Manager Zhang, where do you see that Luorun Shuanghe is better than Kangjian Group?"
Zhang Chongan pointed to the candlestick chart.
> "Luorun Shuanghe has a stronger background, higher government support, and a better price-earnings ratio. It's seriously undervalued."
A few investors nearby overheard and joined in.
> "I agree! Luorun Shuanghe is a solid choice. I'm buying it as soon as the market opens!"
> "Yeah, Luorun Shuanghe just announced its expansion into traditional Chinese medicine. It's a golden opportunity."
An older investor sighed.
> "Don't buy Kangjian Group! I lost five to six thousand yuan on it last month. Total disaster."
Hearing their words, Jiang Han remained calm.
> None of them see what I see.
He ignored the noise and confidently repeated:
> "I'm investing in Kangjian Group. No need to convince me otherwise."
Zhang Chongan's expression darkened.
> "Jiang Han, you're playing with millions. If you make a wrong move, you could lose everything."
Even Su Qingyi hesitated.
> How is he so confident?
Jiang Han sighed.
> "Fine. If you want an explanation, here it is—"
He pointed at the stock data.
> "When investing in a company, the first thing you look at is the gross profit margin."
> "Kangjian Group's gross profit margin is higher than Luorun Shuanghe's. This is undeniable, right?"
