Counterattack starts with controlling probability

"Who is he (/she) to be valued so much by you?" Xu Lei asked.

"Chen Kai. A talented trader." Li Hao briefly introduced Chen Kai. "He comes from a commodity trading family, but he's extremely sensitive to market fluctuations. It can be said that he can defeat most people with just his intuition."

"Hearing you say that, he's indeed a prodigy, and a good match for our project," Xu Lei replied, jokingly asking Li Hao, "But how did you discover him? Aren't people like him generally not very sociable?"

"He's different," Li Hao responded. "Not only does he socialize, he also does livestreams! He'll also actively challenge others to trading skills. He's incredibly competitive."

"Then... compare you with him, let's be honest, who has better trading skills?" Xu Lei asked curiously after hearing this.

"I." Li Hao answered firmly.

This conversation made the three of them burst into laughter.

……

the next day.

Li Hao and Xu Lei came to the market supervision and management department early in the morning to complete the registration procedures for the new company.

When he walked into the hall, Xu Lei was in high spirits, with calmness and confidence between his brows.

Having just experienced a "war without gunpowder smoke", he finally broke free from the constraints of Noah Technology and took back everything that belonged to him.

Also launched a beautiful counterattack.

He was full of energy, as if he had been reborn.

"Brother Lei, you look so energetic today." Li Hao teased with a smile.

Xu Lei smiled softly, waved his hand, and said, "No, I just finally have no worries. Wang Xiao has been so arrogant for so long, and we finally kicked him out, and let Noah get back on track. Now, we can let go and work on the new project!"

"Yes, after going through so much, I think our luck and vision are pretty good!" Li Hao took over the conversation, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. "This time, registering the company, we're truly getting started!"

After the two submitted the documents in the lobby of the Market Supervision Bureau, Xu Lei looked at the floor-to-ceiling windows in the distance.

He thought for a moment, then turned to Li Hao and said with a smile, "Actually, I never thought we could control Noah so quickly. Especially that old fox Wang Xiao. He made such a fuss for so long, but in the end, we finally got rid of him."

Li Hao nodded and said softly, "Yeah, I originally thought he was quite difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect that in the end he would meet the wrong person and reveal his flaws, which actually allowed us to take advantage of him."

While the two were chatting, Wang Qiang called.

Li Hao picked up the phone and heard Wang Qiang say, "Li Hao, you and Xu Lei have registered the company, right? I just calculated that our Zen Fund's returns from this Noah operation are even higher than expected. So, I'm going to increase my investment in your new company."

"Professor Wang, your support is really great!" Li Hao was very surprised when he heard it. He quickly looked at Xu Lei and told him the news.

After hearing this, Xu Lei also laughed, and his confidence in the future increased a bit.

"Professor Wang, this is Xu Lei. Don't worry!" Xu Lei took Li Hao's call and said, "With the support of a heavyweight investor like you, we must perform well and live up to your expectations."

Wang Qiang smiled on the other end. "Honestly, I didn't expect you two to be so capable and efficient. Since I've made so much money this time, I definitely can't be stingy with my next investment. Don't worry, go for it. We'll definitely have enough funds."

"That's great, Professor Wang." Li Hao answered the phone and thanked him while secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

Wang Qiang's full support means that they have more resources at hand and provides greater security for the entire plan.

Not long after, the three of them met at a secret high-end restaurant and invited Zhang Feng to discuss the company's next development.

As an important partner and industry expert, Li Hao and Xu Lei have always wanted to gain more support from Zhang Feng.

"Teacher Zhang, your influence in Amazon is crucial. If we can invite you to serve as a consultant for our company this time, it will greatly enhance the trust and recognition of the outside world." Xu Lei said straight to the point.

Li Hao added, "We are not only willing to invite you as a guest expert consultant to the company, but we will also give you some dry shares. Mr. Zhang, your joining is crucial to the future development of our company."

Zhang Feng smiled and waved his hand. "I appreciate your sincerity, but I'm afraid I'll have to give up my shares. Amazon has some strict policies, and I can't hold shares in my own name for the time being. However, I promise that if you need my help, just come to me directly, and I will do my best to help you."

Hearing Zhang Feng's frank statement, Li Hao and Xu Lei looked at each other and were both moved.

Although Zhang Feng rejected the proposal to invest, his commitment undoubtedly gave them great support.

"Moreover," Zhang Feng continued, "as long as you achieve some results, I can help you further promote Amazon's investment. At that time, Amazon's endorsement will make your company's development smoother."

Li Hao said gratefully, "Teacher Zhang, thanks to you this time. This really solved a big problem for us."

"Don't thank me too soon, there's still a long way to go." Zhang Feng said with a smile, "Work hard, I'm optimistic about you. Especially you, Li Hao, Professor Wang and I really didn't make a mistake!"

At this point, their new company - "Xingxing Zhitou Technology Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership)" has officially entered the start-up stage.

Li Hao integrated opinions from various parties and gave the company an English name, NOVAStrategies, which to a certain extent hinted at its close connection with Noah Technology.

……

In the evening, when Chen Kai's phone rang, Li Hao had been waiting for a while.

After the other party answered the phone, Chen Kai's voice came from the other end, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation: "Lao Li, you called me, aren't you planning to spar with me today?"

Li Hao chuckled and changed the subject, saying, "Chen Kai, do you remember what I told you before? My company is almost done! Are you interested in joining our new R&D team at Noah Technology?"

"How did Noah Technology become your company? Besides, what R&D team?" Chen Kai raised an eyebrow and said on the phone, "I'm not good at that. What do you want me to do?"

Li Hao chuckled, a shrewd glint in his eyes. "If you want to compete with me in trades again, come to Noah. We have plenty of opportunities. In fact, I plan to give you a special role in Noah's new team. You'd be a great research subject, and you could also provide some guidance to the technical team. What do you think?"

"Research subject?" Chen Kai asked half-jokingly, "Are you treating me as a test subject?"

"How is that possible?" Li Hao said slowly, "I truly believe your market acumen and intuition are innate. Our newly established R&D team is currently researching AI+robo-advisory projects, particularly regarding investment model optimization."

He then added, "Your market intuition is a valuable reference for us. Honestly, it will not only help us gain a deeper understanding of AI's judgment, but you can also teach our technical team."

Chen Kai smiled and replied, "Okay, since you said so, I'll come and take a look. Anyway, I don't have any other special plans, so it's nice to play with you."

……

A few days later, the procedures for Li Hao and Xu Lei’s new company, Xinxing Zhitou, were finally completed.

The two stood in their newly rented space next to Noah Technology, looking at the newly hung company nameplate, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Li Hao, our company is finally established!" Xu Lei said excitedly, "I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly."

Li Hao nodded and smiled, "Yes, Brother Lei, now the dust has finally settled. But this is just the beginning, there is still a long way to go."

Xu Lei nodded, then patted Li Hao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I have a hunch. If we go together, we will have a bright future."

At this moment, they happened to see Chen Kai carrying a heavy black backpack and looking at his mobile phone.

"Noah Technology... I saw the address that my brother Ritian sent me, it should be here..." he muttered softly.

"Hey, Li Hao, who is this guy? Is he your friend? Are you the 'younger brother Ritian' he mentioned?" Xu Lei asked Li Hao in a slightly teasing tone.

"Well... I know him! He is Chen Kai. But I'm not his so-called "Ritian" brother. I'm his real Mr. Li, okay!" Li Hao replied with a hint of impatience, and then walked towards Chen Kai.

After a brief meeting, the three introduced themselves to each other, and then Xu Lei took Chen Kai to find Noah Technology's new CTO, Feng Zhiyuan.

Feng Zhiyuan introduced the new team to Chen Kai and set up a special office in accordance with Li Hao's previous request, equipped with the same computer hardware that Li Hao used last time in the e-sports hotel.

But this time, there was something different - Li Hao upgraded the number of screens in the single room set up for Chen Kai.

Now, to those who don’t know him, Chen Kai has the configuration of a top trader - six screens, a desktop assembled with top-level hardware, an ergonomic chair, and access to Noah’s entire database.

"Okay, Mr. Li, our configuration is pretty good. I used to think you didn't know much about hardware, so I carried the laptop myself. It seems like I carried it here in vain!" Chen Kai said, pointing to the heavy black backpack he threw on the ground.

"Now you call me Mr. Li? What did you say just now? What younger brother?" Li Hao asked three questions in a row, jokingly.

"Alright, alright, I made a slip of the tongue, alright? My dear Mr. Li, Brother Hao!" Chen Kai helplessly spread his hands and replied, "Then let's follow our previous agreement. Don't bother me during the daytime trading hours. I'll do my own thing. After the market closes, I can cooperate with you on that research."

Li Hao nodded in approval.

Then, he suddenly remembered something.

He calmed down a bit, calling out in his heart, "Boss Pi, my new company has been established, and Xu Lei's name is written in black and white. Does this mean that the mission is completed?"

"Xiao Li, congratulations, mission accomplished. This operation was brilliant! Your execution and strategy were beyond my expectations, especially the clever manipulation of the acquisition process later on. Well done."

Lao Pi's long-absent yet familiar voice echoed in Li Hao's mind.

Li Hao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking a little proud: "Does that mean that what you said before...?"

[Yes, you remembered it correctly. Because of your excellent operation this time, I also gained some new abilities. I can help you more in the future.]

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a hint of curiosity arose in his heart: "New ability? Mr. Pi, what new skills have you acquired?"
