Counterattack starts with controlling probability

While waiting for the meeting with Chen Qiming, Li Hao had more time to prepare and steadily advance the existing business.

Based on the development progress of Xinxing Zhitou, Li Hao and Liu Xia discussed and decided to concentrate their efforts on formulating a promotion plan for Chen Qiming.

The plan focuses on several key points: Noah's data advantages, New Star Investment's technical strength, and Chen Kai's growth and changes in New Star Investment.

The goal of combining these advantages is to impress Chen Qiming.

"To convince Mr. Chen, the capabilities of New Star Investment alone won't be enough," Li Hao pondered. "Mr. Chen is a seasoned trader, and he'll undoubtedly value the stability and security of the data. He must be able to see Noah's database."

"So, has the data permission issue for 'Ark' been resolved?" Liu Xia asked while taking quick notes.

Li Hao nodded and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I am also the controlling shareholder of Noah. There is no reason why I can't handle this matter!"

He continued, "Marketing and Finance have already granted special approval. Huanyu can use Ark's entire database free of charge for six months. This is part of our joint marketing strategy. Once Mr. Chen tries Noah's data, he will definitely have a different opinion of Nova Investment."

"So, the data we provide can be comparable to Bloomber?" Liu Xia asked curiously.

"It is possible, but it depends on what Mr. Chen chooses." Li Hao smiled helplessly.

After all, Huanyu had contacted Noah before and wanted to support a wave of domestic products.

However, at that time, Li Hao, Xu Lei, Wang Xiao and Wu De created some turmoil and negative influences in the process of competing for control of Noah, which forced Chen Qiming to choose Bloomber as the data service provider.

After all, stability is the top priority for them.

"Then we have to dispel his doubts this time." Liu Xia frowned. "Can we fully meet the high-frequency data that Huanyu relies on for commodity trading?"

"Basically," Li Hao nodded, and continued, "Chen Kai said that Huanyu's commodity business must not only consider the industrial chain and price fluctuations, but also closely monitor weather, exchange rate changes, import and export quotas, and other information. Spot commodity trading requires very high data stability because there are no price limits, and sometimes price fluctuations are completely uncontrollable."

Liu Xia said thoughtfully, "Indeed, the spot market is highly volatile, and without first-class high-frequency data, it's really not possible."

Li Hao continued, "Huanyu's trade volume is huge. If there's a data delay, the loss is calculated by the second. This is why Mr. Chen chose Bloomber. Bloomber has strong data collection capabilities in other countries and is a long-established service provider, which gives him peace of mind."

"However, with this six-month data access, Mr. Chen should be able to re-evaluate Noah." Li Hao's eyes lit up.

Liu Xia nodded and said, "I think it's okay. Besides, considering Chen Kai's performance in New Star Investment, Mr. Chen should be impressed."

Li Hao smiled and said, "This kid Chen Kai can be considered as Mr. Chen's emotional card, right?"

Just as the two were planning, Li Hao suddenly remembered a person who had a close relationship with the Chen family - Hu Chao.

Hu Chao is not only the head of Daxia Futures Sales Department, a leader who has risen from the grassroots level, but also the link between Li Hao, Chen Kai and Chen Qiming.

As a long-term partner of Huanyu, Hu Chao is quite familiar with Chen Qiming's needs. Perhaps he will be the key to breaking the gap between Huanyu and Noah.

"Liu Xia, I think we still need a helper." Li Hao said with a smile.

"Who? Have you come up with a solution?" Liu Xia looked at Li Hao's expression and immediately became interested.

Li Hao immediately replied, "You may not know that Universal Group's hedging account was opened at Daxia Futures."

"And here in Jingbei, the general manager of the Daxia Futures Sales Department, Hu Chao, has worked with Mr. Chen for many years and understands Huanyu's actual needs. He also knows both Chen Kai and me, making him the perfect person to establish connections."

"Chen Kai and I can go talk to him first. Maybe he can help us make an appointment with Mr. Chen."

Liu Xia's eyes lit up and she said, "If that's the case, then Mr. Hu and Mr. Chen must have a special relationship. With his help, the chances of success will be much greater."

"I have to quickly make an appointment with Chen Kai to go to the Daxia Futures Sales Department together." Li Hao stood up and said.

……

A few hours later, Li Hao and Chen Kai walked into the reception room of Daxia Futures Sales Department together.

Hu Chao greeted them with a smile when he saw them. "Hey, what brings you two here? You two wealthy men, are you planning to have a showdown with me?"

"Old Hu, I have something important to discuss with you today."

Li Hao smiled and then motioned Chen Kai to sit down with him.

"Mr. Li, long time no see. You've become so secretive. What's the big deal? Tell me."

Hu Chao smiled as he sat down, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Chen Kai said straight to the point, "Old Hu, we're not here to spar with you this time. Your computer is too low-spec and not very user-friendly. But I came here this time to ask for your help."

"How could I not help you two?" Hu Chao said with a bright smile, "What kind of help? Just tell me, I won't refuse anything I can do."

After hearing Hu Chao's ready agreement, Li Hao and Chen Kai first gave a brief introduction of their current basic situation.

This alone shocked Hu Chao.

The Li Hao he knew in the past was just a smart "big individual investor" who had managed funds.

But in just a few months, Li Hao not only became the boss of Xinxing Zhitou, but also became a major shareholder of Noah Technology.

What made him even more incredible was that Li Hao actually succeeded in recruiting Chen Kai, the "investment genius".

This kind of planning and execution ability made Hu Chao admire Li Hao's experience.

"Boss Li, your development speed is truly astonishing!"

Li Hao smiled slightly and said modestly, "Mr. Hu, it is thanks to your support that I have been able to slowly figure out some tricks. Now, I have to trouble you again."

Hu Chao immediately turned serious and listened to Li Hao continue: "This time I came here, actually hoping that we can arrange a meeting with Chen Qiming, Mr. Chen." Li Hao briefly explained the situation.

Hu Chao nodded and said slowly, "I roughly understand your thoughts. Indeed, if Mr. Chen can become a client of New Star Investment, it will be of great benefit to your promotion."

He paused, then smiled and continued, "I know Mr. Chen is incredibly busy, but there's still a chance. I can think of an opportunity."

"Oh?" Li Hao raised his eyebrows slightly. "What opportunity?"

Hu Chao explained with a smile, "It just so happens that Daxia Futures headquarters, in conjunction with other financial companies within the group, is planning to hold a meeting to explain the new exchange policies for industrial and institutional clients. Mr. Chen happens to be on the invitation list, and I've already contacted him, and he'll be attending."

"So, we can also participate?" Li Hao asked.

"Of course," Hu Chao nodded. "With me here, you can definitely participate."

He glanced at the two of them and then said, "So I think this event can serve as your 'breakthrough'."

"Manager Hu, thank you very much." Li Hao was secretly happy and immediately thanked Hu Chao.

"Mr. Li, that's a bit too formal. After all, we've worked together for such a long time, and there may be many opportunities for cooperation in the future," Hu Chao smiled and added, "And to help you better achieve your goals, I've arranged a dinner after this event so you can discuss this in detail with Mr. Chen."

"Let Old Chen pay for this. After all, my father hasn't treated me to a meal in a long time!" Chen Kai said with a smile, "But Old Hu, you're really good at putting this together!"

Hu Chao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We're old friends, why be so polite?"

Just as Li Hao was feeling excited about this meeting, Hu Chao revealed another piece of news: "However, this policy interpretation meeting may not be just an ordinary meeting."

He paused, then continued, "Because of the new policy, which involves changes to regulations for hedging clients, this will have a significant impact on some foreign-owned enterprises, especially those that rely on derivatives for hedging. Headquarters has counted and found that several senior representatives from wholly foreign-owned enterprises will also be in attendance."

"Foreign-invested enterprises?" Li Hao was slightly taken aback and asked, "Which enterprises?"

"The specific list cannot be disclosed right now, but they are all powerful players with large capital."

Hu Chao smiled, but couldn't help but let out a bit of information: "At least it includes Bloomberg. You know, these big money representatives are not only active in the domestic market, but also have very deep networks with foreign investors. Their attitudes often influence the direction of global capital flows."

"Will Bloomber's people also attend?"

Li Hao's heart trembled slightly, it seemed that this meeting was hiding bigger trends.

"Yes," Hu Chao nodded. "They are already important partners of Daxia Futures. After the new policy is introduced, these foreign companies will definitely pay attention, so their participation in this meeting is reasonable."

Li Hao thought to himself that he had just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to meet Chen Qiming, but he didn't expect to encounter such a critical "public opinion field".

Once some important issues are mentioned at the meeting, the attitude of foreign capital may drive many market trends.

Li Hao is well aware that the investment strategies of these foreign investors often have a weather vane effect, especially the influence of these large capital companies in the market is enough to attract small and medium-sized enterprises in the industry.

"In that case, this meeting is indeed worthy of more attention." Li Hao nodded.

Hu Chao smiled and said, "Mr. Li, this is an opportunity. When Mr. Chen arrives, you can take this opportunity to have a deeper chat. But I have to warn you in advance, Mr. Chen has always been a very strict person, especially after the twists and turns during your previous acquisition of Noah, which may have somewhat eroded his good impression of him."

Li Hao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Mr. Hu, don't worry. We'll be prepared. By the way, Mr. Chen relies heavily on Bloomber. I wonder if we can use some of Noah's data advantages to impress him this time."

"If you offer it for free, he probably won't refuse!" Hu Chao said with a smile. "Mr. Chen has very high requirements for data. Although Bloomber is world-renowned, it does have certain limitations in terms of data update speed and localization requirements in China. If Noah's data can be more advantageous in this regard, it might be a good card."

Li Hao and Chen Kai exchanged a glance, and Li Hao nodded slightly. "That's it, then. We'll make detailed preparations for this. Manager Hu, please let us know the time and place of the meeting."

"No problem, I'll take care of the rest." Hu Chao patted Li Hao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Just focus on your strengths, and I'll take care of the rest. But be aware, this meeting may be quite complex. After all, with so many bigwigs from foreign companies gathered here, there will definitely be some unexpected competitors in the domestic market."

Li Hao frowned, then smiled slightly and said, "I understand. No matter what happens, I will be prepared. I will fight with my troops and block the water with earth."

After leaving Daxia Futures, Li Hao was thinking about the plan for this meeting, and secretly felt that this trip was full of challenges.

As Hu Chao said, the participation of foreign-funded enterprises has made things much more complicated, and may even lead to the emergence of competitors that he never expected.

Especially the presence of international giants such as Bloomberg, made him vaguely feel the undercurrent behind this meeting.

"I know Lao Chen's character. He must be attending the meeting because of major policy changes, which will have a significant impact on traders. But do you think we should also make some adjustments to our market strategy?" Chen Kai said on the side.
