Counterattack starts with controlling probability

Faced with the huge impact caused by Blacklock and the negative voices in the financial circles of Daxia, Li Hao knew that relying on passive response and waiting for death would never work.

Although the original intention of establishing New Star Investment was to better apply AI in the investment field and to make it as objective, fair and user-friendly as possible.

Even those who do not have a systematic understanding of investment but want to participate in the redistribution of the capital market can achieve their goals.

But someone seemed to have achieved it ahead of time, which also made Li Hao a little excited.

And more anxiety.

This competition not only made him see the threat of bionic technology, but also reminded him—

If New Star Investment wants to gain a foothold in the capital market, it must go global, especially establish a foothold in the core area of ​​the capital market in the United States.

After discussing with Liu Xia many times, Li Hao made the final decision: to directly acquire a quantitative fund with a US investment license, paving the way for Xinxing Zhitou's future financing in the international market.

"Based on the current market development progress, we don't have time to apply for a license from scratch. Not only is the process complicated, but by the time we get approval, the market will have changed dramatically."

Li Hao frowned and said to Liu Xia.

"In this way, directly acquiring an existing company can save a lot of time and take over their resources and channels. If you are lucky, you can also retain some local traders to exchange experience."

"It's indeed feasible." Liu Xia nodded in agreement, then added, "But directly acquiring a fund isn't cheap, is it?"

"Indeed, but if you take time and future development expectations into consideration, the current offer is nothing."

Li Hao smiled confidently and continued.

"Anyway, we have the capital."

"I must be ahead of everyone this time!"

Through team research, Li Hao quickly identified a quantitative fund.

This fund is not large in scale, but it has an investment license from the United States and has a certain reputation in high-frequency trading and derivatives markets.

"That's it." Li Hao stared at the fund's information, a sharp glint in his eyes. "The team is professional, the system is comprehensive, and most importantly, they're in urgent need of capital injection. We can take advantage of this opportunity to directly control the shares."

Soon, Li Hao started acquisition negotiations through his legal team.

Although the process was a bit complicated, the other party quickly compromised.

After all, they could not refuse the financial support from New Star Investment and the prospect of future cooperation with the Daxia market.

"After the transaction is completed, we will be a legal American financial institution." Li Hao raised a satisfied smile at the moment of signing.

After the acquisition was completed, Li Hao immediately contacted Xu Lei, Ji Shuqiang and Chen Kai and asked them to meet up in the United States.

He needs these top talents in technology and investment to work together to provide advice for the international layout of New Star Investment.

As a technical expert at New Star Investment, Xu Lei will continue to lead the team in the United States to develop the next generation of AI trading models and enhance the company's technological leadership.

Ji Shuqiang is the team's technical star and an expert in AI algorithms. He is responsible for connecting with the acquired quantitative fund team and gradually integrating new technologies into actual transactions.

As an investment expert, Chen Kai will fully assist the operation of the fund and directly participate in the battle in the capital market.

"Brother Lei, the first thing you should do when you arrive is to check out the technical architecture of this fund and see if it can be quickly connected to our system." Li Hao instructed Xu Lei during the video conference.

"No problem, leave it to me." Xu Lei nodded, his tone full of confidence.

"Ji Shuqiang, you have to study the fund's trading strategy carefully. This is your best chance to put it into practice. Don't let me down." Li Hao continued.

"Brother Hao, don't worry!" Ji Shuqiang clenched his fist and said, "I will definitely not let the rising star's technology fall behind!"

"And Chen Kai," Li Hao said, looking at Chen Kai on the screen, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "The capital market in the United States is even more volatile than that of Daxia. Don't let them ruin your mind."

"Don't look down on me, okay?" Chen Kai raised his eyebrows and smiled. "I survived the Black Swan incident, and I'm sure I can stand up for you this time!"

After receiving the task, the three quickly packed their luggage and prepared to go to the United States.

At the same time, Li Hao stood in front of the window, looking at the Berkeley campus in the distance, feeling a little complicated.

He knew that this layout was not a one-time solution.

But this time, he finally took the overall strategy a big step forward towards internationalization.

"Mr. Pi, do you think our choice is right?" Li Hao asked in his heart.

Lao Pi's voice was calm as usual:

There is no absolute right or wrong; it only depends on who can survive the game longer. Now that you have taken the first step, don't look back, just keep going.

Li Hao took a deep breath and smiled: "Okay, let's play a big one!"

He turned and walked towards the office and began to plan his next move.

At this moment, he has transformed all his emotions into calmness and tenacity, ready to face this unknown international game.

Just as Li Hao was fully preparing for the international layout of New Star Investment, an explosive news swept the global financial market - Blacklock officially launched the first generation of bionic robot fund managers.

Once this news was announced, it not only caused an uproar in the industry, but also made the capital market boil.

Because this is not a simple technological upgrade, but a disruptive innovation that is enough to reshape the entire industry.

According to Blacklock's official statement, this bionic fund manager, code-named "NeuralTrader-1", has learning abilities and real-time market adaptability beyond human limits.

During the past six months of internal trials, NeuralTrader-1 conducted a large number of real-time transactions using Blacklock’s own funds, and its performance directly shocked the industry.

First of all, the absolute return, which is what everyone is most concerned about, has reached 34%, which means that the annualized return rate is as high as 68%, far exceeding the average level of the world's top hedge funds.

At the same time, the portfolio’s maximum drawdown was only 3%, demonstrating incredible stability amidst market turmoil.

This shows that NeuralTrader-1's investment strategy is extremely accurate.

From global stock markets to commodities and even niche derivatives markets, NeuralTrader-1 has demonstrated impeccable control.

"It's not just about good performance, it's about making almost no mistakes!"

A market analyst lamented in an interview.

“It is more precise, calmer, and tireless than any human fund manager.”

What is even more incredible than the shocking performance is that Blacklock actually obtained permission from the regulatory authorities in a short period of time, allowing them to launch quantitative fund products with bionic robots as the core.

This marks that robots can not only participate in trading, but are also officially recognized as fund managers.

"We conducted rigorous testing and review, and NeuralTrader-1 demonstrated unprecedented high standards in compliance, risk control capabilities, and data transparency."

A person in charge of the regulatory department said.

It is reported that before officially launching the product, Blacklock conducted a real-time test with its own funds for half a year, and won the trust of regulators with stable performance and excellent risk control.

The emergence of NeuralTrader-1 is not only a technological victory, but also the center of a public opinion storm.

Financial media around the world rushed to report:

“Robot Fund Managers: The Terminator of Human Fund Managers?”

“The Blacklock Revolution: The Future of Finance Has Arrived.”

Social media exploded:

"What else can we humans do? Fund managers have no chance of survival!"

"Blacklock is too powerful. If this thing is fully promoted, won't other companies be in trouble?"

"In the future, will anyone with money be able to become the boss of a robot fund?"

Supporters believe that this is the inevitable result of technological progress and that Blacklock's breakthrough will drive the upgrading of the entire industry.

Opponents worry that the rise of robot funds will lead to the unemployment of a large number of human practitioners and exacerbate market inequality.

Blacklock CEO confidently stated at a press conference:

"We won't stop. NeuralTrader-1 is just the beginning. In the future, more generations of robo-fund managers will emerge to further optimize investment strategies and create greater value for global investors."

After saying this, he smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his tone:

"However, this is not just a technological innovation, but also a reshaping of market rules. The future capital market will be fairer and more efficient."

In his office in Berkeley, Li Hao stared at the demonstration video of NeuralTrader-1 with a deep look in his eyes.

He knew that this was not just a technological revolution, but also a signal: the next game in the capital market will unfold in a completely new dimension.

"Mr. Pi, what do you think?" he asked in his heart.

NeuralTrader-1 is indeed powerful, but it is not invincible. Its logic is public, and if you find its loopholes, you can defeat it.

Li Hao raised a sneer, "It seems our next opponent has been locked in. If we're going to fight, we'll have to fight the strongest!"

In order to defeat the enemy, you must first understand the enemy.

Unfortunately, there is very little publicly available information released by Blacklock.

He decided to talk to Professor Hall to see if this mentor, who had made great achievements in finance and quantitative investment, could provide some insights.

When Li Hao pushed open the door of Professor Hall's office, the professor was holding a cup of coffee and looking intently at a data analysis report.

Seeing Li Hao come in, he smiled slightly and pointed to the chair opposite: "Li, you really can't hold it back anymore, sit down."

Li Hao spoke bluntly, "Professor, what do you think of Blacklock's NeuralTrader-1? It's incredibly powerful, practically crushing all traditional fund managers. Its real-time performance has caused the market to re-evaluate the potential of AI."

Professor Hall put down his report, adjusted his glasses, and spoke calmly but with a hint of excitement, "It's certainly powerful, but not invincible. I did some research ahead of time, and I have some findings to share with you."

"Oh?" Li Hao's eyes lit up and he leaned forward. "What do you know?"
