As the collaboration between Li Hao and Professor Hall deepened, the team's achievements quickly appeared in the market.

The quantitative fund he acquired in the United States not only completed the adjustment of its internal structure, but also launched several new products at an impressive speed.

What is even more exciting is that the net value and yield of these products have been steadily rising and have begun to attract widespread attention from the market.

On an ordinary trading day, the fund team members were conducting routine data analysis when suddenly a data analyst excitedly shouted:

"Everyone, look! The net value has increased again! In the past hour, our rate of return has jumped by 0.5 points!"

Chen Kai was the first to rush to the screen. After seeing the straight upward curve chart, he couldn't help laughing:

"Brother Hao, this is amazing! This fund is practically catching up to Blacklock's pace!"

Xu Lei also put down his work, walked over to take a look, and said:

"Don't get too excited, Blacklock is no pushover. But we are definitely on the right track."

"This is already a qualitative leap, especially in the fiercely competitive market in the United States," Liu Xia added, her eyes full of pride. "Brother Hao, I feel that our current team is not only strong, but more importantly, we're heading in the right direction."

Li Hao stood in a corner of the office, watching everyone's discussion quietly. There was not much expression on his face, but a wave of emotion had already surged in his heart.

He knows clearly that the U.S. capital market is an arena where global experts compete.

The rules and intensity of competition here are more complicated than in China.

Being able to stand out in this environment shows that they have really done it.

He thought silently in his heart:

"As expected, strength is the only pass. Only by continuous improvement can we gain a firm foothold in this market."

As the fund's performance continues to improve, team morale is at an all-time high.

Ji Shuqiang was debugging the model while muttering:

"Tsk tsk, let's see who dares to underestimate our big data model this time. The professor's joining us is truly a qualitative change!"

Chen Kai completely let himself go and turned to look at Li Hao:

"Brother Hao, we have to celebrate properly this time. How about I treat the whole team to dinner tonight?"

"Your treat?" Xu Lei gave him a playful look. "Don't run away with the order. After all, the exchange rate here has been rising. Besides, the net value of our team's products has increased so well, I guess the bill won't be cheap."

Chen Kai patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I, Chen, am the most loyal person. I must arrange everything today!"

Liu Xia couldn't help but laugh as she watched this scene. "Chen Kai, are you sure you're not just trying to capitalize on everyone's good mood and show off your popularity?"

Laughter rang out throughout the office, and the tense working atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.

Although everyone was excited about the team's achievements, the real competitor in this market - Blacklock - was always a thorn in everyone's heart.

Xu Lei sat at his workstation, looking through Blacklock's recently released investment report, and couldn't help but frown:

"This guy's bionic robot model is quite powerful. Although the rate of return isn't as fast as ours, their drawdown rate is incredibly good. If we were to compete in the long term, we might not be able to guarantee victory."

Liu Xia walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry, take your time. Blacklock isn't invincible. We're making steady progress, and that's given the market hope."

"That's right, Brother Lei," Chen Kai interrupted. "Besides, our team isn't much worse than their AI robots, right? With just a few more clever moves, what's there for Blacklock to be afraid of?"

Li Hao also noticed Blacklock's continued strong performance.

Instead of being blindly optimistic, he said to the team:

"Don't let your guard down. We've certainly made rapid progress, but Blacklock's foundation shouldn't be underestimated. We need more than just short-term victories; we need long-term, stable advantages."

Professor Hall also walked in at this time and nodded in agreement: "Li is right."

"The capital market is a place that demands endurance and strategy. Temporary high returns may attract attention, but the teams that truly win in the end are those who know how to control risks and take steady steps."

"Next, our goal is to gain market recognition of our strength," Li Hao said firmly. "No matter how strong Blacklock becomes, we must become their rival, or even surpass them."

The office fell silent instantly.

Everyone looked at Li Hao, their eyes filled with eagerness to fight.

……

At the same time, when Blacklock's leadership received the news that Professor Hall had officially joined Li Hao's team, their reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

I thought this would be something to be vigilant about, but the top executives at Blacklock acted unusually relaxed, even showing a hint of excitement.

"Hall, you old man, you have lost your integrity in your later years..."

Blacklock's CEO sat in the high-level conference room, tapping the table lightly, with a smile on his face.

"But this way, we finally have an opponent worth paying attention to this time."

His words left other executives confused.

A vice president asked doubtfully, "Boss, Professor Hall's joining the Li Hao team is a powerful addition. Aren't you worried that they will pose a threat to us in the market?"

"Threat?" The CEO smiled. "Don't be silly. This kind of opponent is interesting. A market without challenge is just boring. We're so used to being the lone warrior, sometimes we really want to experience the feeling of being chased."

A low laugh echoed in the conference room, but soon the CEO's expression turned serious:

"However, no matter how much we look forward to the challenge, we still have to stay ahead. They have Professor Hall, and we have bionic robots."

"Let NeuralTrader-1 continue to monitor their trading patterns. I want to see what tricks this young man, Li Hao, and his team can come up with."

Blacklock's technical director immediately took over the conversation: "Boss, we've actually asked NeuralTrader-1 to look into their trading model a while ago."

"We've seen some interesting data recently. Their trading style is quite distinctive, and they seem to be trying to optimize their strategies in highly volatile markets."

"Keep watching." The CEO nodded, "But don't be too obvious. Keep a low profile. They have Professor Hall with them, so we need to be even more cautious."

“Remember, our goal is not only to collect their trading patterns but also to study their decision-making logic.”

The technical director smiled faintly. "Don't worry, NeuralTrader-1's learning ability has greatly improved. It can not only analyze their trading data, but also simulate their logical processes."

"As long as they are active in the market, we can gradually crack their strategies."

After the meeting, the CEO stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office building, overlooking the busy scene of the United States financial center, feeling a mixture of emotions.

"Li Hao..." he muttered to himself, "I hope you won't let me down. Although I'm looking forward to a real opponent, it would be too boring if you were too weak."

However, despite the lightness in his words, he still maintained a sense of vigilance deep in his heart.

He knew that the combination of Professor Hall's academic achievements and the creativity of Li Hao's team could give birth to a whole new force.

And this power may become the biggest threat to Blacklock's years of dominance.

At the same time, NeuralTrader-1's background program is running at high speed.

Its mission is clear - track, learn, and imitate.

As long as Li Hao's team has any operations in the market, it will capture it at the first time and try to restore the logic behind it.

The programmers stared at the screen nervously, with numbers and models switching rapidly before their eyes.

The technical director told the team, "Remember, the goal isn't to defeat them outright, but to fundamentally understand their strategy. Only by thoroughly understanding our opponents can we stay ahead."

As NeuralTrader-1 continued its in-depth analysis, Li Hao's team's trading patterns seemed to become more complex and unpredictable.

Blacklock's technical team was puzzled and somewhat uneasy about this.

"Could it be that they have noticed our surveillance?" the technical director frowned.

The CEO waved his hand, a meaningful smile on his face. "Don't worry. The more complex the opponent, the more they will push us to our limits."

……

One morning, a special email suddenly popped up in Li Hao's mailbox.

The sender is the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The email title is concise but hits the heart: Inquiry letter regarding the compliance of your fund.

Li Hao frowned and opened the email.

The letter stated directly that the quantitative fund he actually controlled had frequent transactions and huge capital flows recently, which attracted widespread attention from the market.

Since Li Hao is a foreigner and his background is closely linked to Daxia's technology industry, the SEC believes it is necessary to further investigate his trading behavior.

After receiving the email, Li Hao immediately called a team meeting to discuss countermeasures.

"Everyone, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is targeting us." Li Hao's tone was calm, but his expression was serious.

Xu Lei was the first to jump up. "Brother Hao, this is outrageous! All our operations are legal. Why are they targeting us?"

"Because I'm a foreigner," Li Hao said calmly, "and our team's recent performance has been too impressive. The surge in returns in such a short period of time is bound to raise concerns."

Professor Hall nodded. "Indeed. While the US capital market is open, foreign investors, especially tech upstarts like you with large-scale capital operations, face stricter scrutiny."

"What should we do? We can't just let them lead us by the nose!" Chen Kai said dissatisfiedly, "Our operations can withstand any scrutiny!"

Liu Xia said, "The key is to clearly sort out all possible points of doubt in advance. We can't let them find any evidence."
