Counterattack starts with controlling probability

After pondering for a moment, Li Hao came up with a plan: "We don't need to panic, nor do we need to make excuses."

"Our operations are already compliant. We'll proceed in several steps."

"The first thing is to sort out the data—"

"Xu Lei took the lead and brought his technical team to compile all transaction records, capital flows, and strategy models into a complete report to ensure there were no loopholes."

"Next, we will contact top law firms and ask them to help us prepare to respond to the SEC's inquiries."

"Public relations are also very important. We are new here. Liu Xia is responsible for speaking out and issuing statements to emphasize our transparency and compliance, so as to alleviate market doubts about us."

Professor Hall added, "Li, you have to be prepared for the worst when dealing with the SEC this time. They may use various means to test your bottom line and even try to force you to reveal more strategic details."

"Professor, I understand." Li Hao nodded. "But this time, I will not only prove our innocence, but also make them understand that we are not pushovers."

After the meeting, Li Hao sat alone in the office, staring at the computer screen in a daze.

He kept thinking about the significance of the SEC's sudden letter of inquiry.

"Is this matter really just because we are too high-profile?" Li Hao said to himself.

At this moment, the voice of "Laopi" in his mind sounded:

"Xiao Li, have you ever considered that this might be driven by Blacklock or other opponents?"

Li Hao narrowed his eyes. "Are you saying that they are deliberately using the SEC to suppress us?"

[The possibility is very high.]

【This is not only a test for you, but it may also be an attempt to drain your energy and resources. 】

After hearing what Lao Pi said, he calmed down: "No matter who wants to mess with me, I will let them know that I am not that easy to deal with."

As the SEC's inquiry letter was exposed, the market began to talk.

"Can a foreigner controlling such a large fund really withstand scrutiny?"

"Who knows? Anyway, his recent returns have been ridiculously high. There must be something fishy going on."

"Maybe the Daxia government is supporting him behind the scenes!"

Rumors were spreading, but Li Hao's team was quietly laying a bigger net.

……

In a secret club in the United States, Blacklock's CEO was talking in a low voice with a group of people.

These people were none other than the dark web traders who had been targeted by Li Hao and had their positions liquidated.

They were originally defeated by Li Hao's strategy and even disappeared for a while, but now they have returned to the capital market with a new identity.

"I know you have deep feelings for Li Hao," the CEO said with a sneer on his face.

"I specially prepared this opportunity for you. We must not only watch him being crushed by the CSRC, but also make him lose his composure."

One of the traders gritted his teeth and said, "This guy caused us heavy losses last time. This time, he must pay the price! But, are you sure this action will work?"

The CEO waved his hand: "Don't worry, the CSRC has taken the bait."

"They will continue to put pressure on Li Hao's quantitative fund, and your mission is to use this opportunity to steal his trading strategy."

At the same time, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission gradually escalated its inquiries into Li Hao, requiring not only more detailed trading records but also public display of his fund's strategy model.

"This is clearly picking a fight!" Xu Lei slammed the table in anger at the new demands. "Which company would voluntarily disclose such a confidential strategy? Isn't this clearly trying to force us to give up?"

Liu Xia frowned. "The CSRC's actions are too targeted. I feel like something's amiss. Could Blacklock be behind this?"

"Very likely," Li Hao said in a deep voice, his eyes cold. "This relentless pressure is exactly Blacklock's style. They not only want to suppress us, but also steal our core assets."

On the other side, dark web traders have begun to take action.

With the help of resources provided by Blacklock, they developed a special monitoring system, trying to reverse-engineer Li Hao's team's strategic logic through their operational traces in the market.

"This guy is a genius, but even the most sophisticated strategy will leave traces in the market," said a trader, staring at the data analysis results on the screen. "If we find the pattern, we can replicate his strategy completely."

Another trader added: "Furthermore, we can use the CSRC's crackdown on him to further create chaos and create conflicts within his team."

At this time, Li Hao had already noticed the clues of this conspiracy.

He sat in his office, staring at the trading screen, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"They not only want to exhaust our energy, but also want to forcibly obtain our strategy in this way." Li Hao said in a low voice.

Liu Xia stood by and asked worriedly, "Brother Hao, what should we do? They're coming at us with such force. Dealing with the CSRC is already troublesome enough, and now there are dark web traders causing trouble. We're being attacked from both sides."

Li Hao smiled, his expression firm. "At times like this, we must remain calm. They want to distract us, so let them experience the pain of being counterattacked."

Li Hao immediately gathered the team and developed a counterattack plan.

The most critical first step at present is to pretend to be weak:

In front of the CSRC, the team cooperated moderately, providing some irrelevant strategy details to confuse the opponent's judgment.

But in this process, it is a good time to lay a trap:

Deliberately place some "false signals" in the market to guide the other party's traders into the wrong trading direction.

At the same time, with the addition of Professor Hall, they have more conditions to combine internal and external factors:

By contacting Professor Hall and other academic bigwigs, we can exert academic influence on the CSRC and balance regulatory pressure.

After hearing the plan, Xu Lei exclaimed in admiration, "This series of combined punches is truly ruthless. They'll be drawn deeper and deeper into our deceptive tactics, ultimately digging their own grave."

"Aren't they trying to steal our strategy? Then let them steal as much as they want." Li Hao raised a sneer, "But in the end, they will only suffer the consequences."

Just as Li Hao was planning a counterattack, the monitoring systems of Blacklock and dark web traders began to show abnormalities.

They found that the operating style of Li Hao's team seemed to have undergone subtle changes.

"What's going on? These trading data are totally inconsistent with the previous strategy logic!" The trader frowned and stared at the abnormal data on the screen.

Blacklock's technical director was also confused: "Have they noticed our surveillance? Or are they deliberately testing us?"

When Blacklock's senior management discussed Li Hao's team's counterattack strategy in the conference room, the CEO calmly waved his hand:

"They want to play tricks? Then we will crush them directly with our funds. Don't forget, we are the ones who make the rules of the market."

As a giant in the global capital market, Blacklock not only controls massive amounts of funds, but also possesses unique technological advantages.

Through their bionic robot NeuralTrader-1, they can obtain first-hand trading information in the market almost in real time.

"The market is our chessboard. We can see every move they make," the technical director said confidently.

The core of all this is that Blacklock deliberately plays the role of a market maker.

No matter which direction Li Hao's team operates, Blacklock can quickly grasp the information and suppress it in a targeted manner.

One morning in the United States, Li Hao's team once again encountered an unexpected reverse trading pressure.

"What's going on?" Xu Lei stared at the screen in bewilderment. "We just went long on a wave of tech stocks, and our counterparty immediately increased their short position. This speed is like a split second!"

"Not only are they quick to react, but they also have an incredibly large amount of capital." Chen Kai frowned. "Every time we tried to fight back, it felt like we were hitting a wall."

Liu Xia handed over a trading data analysis report. "Look, they seem to be quickly matching trades after every order we place. It's almost as if they knew our moves in advance."

Li Hao pondered for a moment, then clicked on NeuralTrader-1's surveillance report: "Sure enough... they're the ones behind this."

Through its huge capital and status as a market maker, Blacklock not only controls the market liquidity, but also uses algorithms to monitor every move of Li Hao's team.

Whether increasing or decreasing positions, they will be captured quickly.

"They're deliberately trying to trick us," Li Hao analyzed. "They're using their funds to suppress our strategy, causing us to suffer losses and thus draining our resources and confidence."

Xu Lei was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table. "How can we fight them? Their funds are almost dozens of times ours. We can't win!"

Chen Kai was also a little discouraged: "It's like playing cards and the other party sees your cards the whole time. There is no way to turn the tables."

Several days of losses caused the team's atmosphere to plummet to the bottom.

"How about we retreat first?" a data analyst suggested quietly. "The enemy is too strong. If we continue, we might not even be able to save our capital."

Liu Xia frowned and looked at Li Hao: "Brother Hao, shouldn't we adjust our strategy? We are no match for them with this head-on confrontation."

Li Hao pursed his lips, his eyes stern: "Adjustments are necessary, but this is definitely not retreating."

"They were able to suppress us only because they had the advantage in technology and money, but as long as we could find their weaknesses, everything could be reversed."

That night, Li Hao stayed alone in the office and worked overtime until late at night.

He repeatedly studied Blacklock's capital flows and operational traces, trying to find the flaws.

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

Lao Pi's voice sounded.

The opponent is indeed very strong. But as I have repeatedly emphasized, even the most powerful system has its limits.

"Limit?" Li Hao seemed to be thinking about something.

【Yes. 】

Although their funds are enormous, they cannot be supplied indefinitely. As long as we find their core operating points and force them to mobilize large amounts of funds in a short period of time, we will have the opportunity to create chaos.
