Chapter 447 System Log
After the secret meeting, many companies in the military-industrial complex, either actively or forced to follow Mrs. Paris’s instructions, began to mobilize all available funds to prepare for next Monday. When the opening day comes, a decisive battle begins with Atlas.
At the same time, some people with complex connections began to lobby some lawmakers in an attempt to bring the federal government down.
While the military-industrial complex was actively preparing, they also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, Atlas's voice seemed to suddenly disappear during the two days of the weekend.
In addition to the real-time broadcast of 'Space Beijing View' in the live broadcast room of 'Real Eye', Atlas has no other actions. A large number of previous revelations about the military-industrial complex on the Internet have also It stopped suddenly, as if someone had pressed a pause button on Atlas.
Many people began to speculate whether there was something wrong with Atlas itself, or whether the federal government secretly contacted Atlas and tried to mediate, which led to such silence in the past two days.
Although there are not many people with such thoughts within the military-industrial complex, there are still more people left - including 'core members' such as Paris and Hamilton who still remain vigilant.
In this way, with the attention of countless people with different purposes and thoughts, time has once again arrived at the opening of a new week.
However, nothing happened.
The much-anticipated Monday trading day slowly came to an end with the closing bell at 16:00 Federal Capital Time.
There was no bloody fight as everyone imagined, and there were no overwhelming revelations like last week. The whole day passed so peacefully.
Then Tuesday, Wednesday, until the closing bell rings on Friday.
After a calm week, both the onlookers and the military-industrial complex in the center of the vortex were a little confused, because they had never expected such a result.
Atlas, which was still making a killing in the stock market last week - or those short-selling institutions and hedge funds that seemed to have nothing to do with Atlas, seemed to be "separated" in one blow. There was no movement for a whole week.
Atlas officials did not do any major work this week, but began to promote the "Enterprise Fleet Cemetery" tourist route
Under such circumstances, many people began to wonder whether this was a delaying strategy by Atlas, in order to make the military-industrial complex relax its vigilance before taking action.
But this kind of calm day passed by in one breath for more than half a month, and the huge contrast made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
If it weren’t for the stock price of Boqi Heavy Industries that collapsed after being cut in half, everyone would even think that the stock market war half a month ago was just a dream
What’s even more outrageous is that originally, because The "Destruction of the United Fleet" incident caused the stock prices of giant companies in the military-industrial complex to be affected. During this period, the stock prices of giant companies began to slowly rise.
Especially Nutao Group, as if it had been given a shot in the arm, suddenly came to life, and its stock price even exceeded the price before the conflict broke out.
As we all know, the Internet has no memory, and the public's view will not always be focused on one place, especially when the Federation is still at war with the Empire.
So most people’s attention was quickly attracted by the news of a large-scale increase of troops from the Federation and the Empire to the front. Except for some stakeholders, the conflict between Atlas and the military-industrial complex The conflict is no longer worthy of attention.
Just when this 'farce' seemed to be coming to an absurd end, the A. Bawa Ku Asteroid Fortress also welcomed a group of guests from afar.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person. In fact, you can just ask the team to come over."
In a certain deployment bay of the asteroid fortress, Amber looked at him with a large group of elves. Ellenita said somewhat unexpectedly after arriving.
"After much thought, I still have to witness it with my own eyes. No matter what, I am also the major shareholder of Atlas, right?"
Elenita said with a smile, and then walked to Amber generously. around.
"Let's go, take me to visit here today. It's a pity that Isabel is not here, otherwise I could have had a few drinks with her~"
"Isabel is so happy in the headquarters building We are so busy, and how can we have time to drink? We will start taking action in more than twenty hours."
Amber pouted, and then parked towards the exit with Ellenita. The special vehicle walked away and continued:
"Are you sure your team doesn't need to get used to it? If we come here in a hurry, we will start working directly after taking a rest."
"No, they are all professionals, and this decisive battle is Isn't the 'protagonist' the 'new trading system' you called it? "
Alanita had a playful smile on her face. The reason why she came in person was not just to see Amber for a visit? Outside of the asteroid fortress, curiosity about the trading system that Atlas used half a month ago was also one of the reasons.
"Curiosity killed the cat, Ms. Ellenita."
Amber stopped and looked into the female elf's eyes and said.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not a cat, and what I want to know is also after this 'decisive battle'." Ellenita said, and then she came close to Amber's ear. Her breath made Amber feel something in her ears. While itching, her words also reached Amber's ears.
"After all this is over, I think we have plenty of time to communicate~"
——
In the early morning of May 17, 590 of the New Calendar, in front of many people While still sleeping, a belated storm began to brew quietly.
"[System Log]: 590-05-1703:30:00
Target: Nutao Group
Short-selling institutions: Citron Consortium, Undercurrent Capital, Night Fund, Muddy Waters Group, Yuge Capital.”
In the virtual space, Lilith watched quietly The messages that flashed before her eyes were the logs of her upgraded 'Intelligent Business Warfare System'.
She knew that today was a very important day for Amber and Atlas. That’s why I decided to personally watch the operation of this new system.
“The target company’s current stock price is stable and it has begun to implement the first phase of the plan.
Execution: Create public opinion
Operation: Start shadow account group. ”
As the order was issued, tens of millions of carefully designed virtual accounts became active at the same time.
They began to spread negative news about Nutao Group on major social media platforms The news covers everything from technical vulnerabilities to management scandals to the 'power and sex deals' between Nutao Group and many federal lawmakers and senior officials
And 90% of these are true. The negative news is also accompanied by pictures or videos as evidence
Soon, these news spread quickly. After all, the Federation has such a huge territory, and not every place is as early in the morning as the capital. Therefore, these sudden explosion news still aroused widespread public attention.
Including Paris, a group of high-level officials in the military-industrial complex were all awakened from their sleep by their assistants.
"[System Log]: 590-05-1704:15:00
Public opinion influence index: 37%
Preparation before the stock market opens: Ready"
< br>
In the securities trading hall of Nutao Group, the chief trader Ma En, who was also woken from his sleep, stared at the screen in front of him. Although the stock market has not yet opened, the pre-market trading data has begun to refresh.
It is not difficult to tell from Ma En's expression at this moment that these data must not look good.
He also received an urgent notice from his superiors before, asking him to pay close attention to the group's stock trends.
However, before he could react to these data, the stock price of Nutao Group on the screen had begun to fluctuate violently.
"What's going on?!" Ma En said nervously, "Why are the fluctuations in pre-market trading like this?"
After Sara, the trader next to him, heard what he said, she was also checking the virtual screen around her nervously, and news from the group's intelligence collection department soon came on it.
“The intelligence department said that negative news is fermenting at an extremely fast speed and there is an unstoppable trend!”
“[System Log]: 590-05-1707:00: 00
Share price: 264.00 credit points/share → 211.20 credit points/share
Share price drop: 20%”
Mrs. Paris was sitting at the desk in her office, her face solemn. She had received urgent reports from various departments—Nutong Group had become the primary target of public opinion attacks.
"We need to hold a press conference immediately to clarify these rumors." Paris frowned, looked at the director of the public relations department standing aside and said: "Your public relations department, prepare a statement immediately." After hearing her words, Public Relations Director Amy said with some concern: "But according to the report of the Securities and Exchange Department, the market sentiment is very unstable now. I am worried that issuing a statement may cause a greater rebound."
< br>
Mrs. Paris took a deep breath: "We must find a way to save the situation before the end of pre-market trading. If we remain silent, the situation will only get worse."
" 【System Log】：590-05-1708:15:00
Stock price: 211.20 credits/share → 147.84 credits/share
Share price drop: 43.75%
Task: Create network delay
Execution: Network interference
Action: Start communication delay procedure"
Soon, Nutao Group and other major members of the military-industrial complex experienced unilateral network delays in their trading systems.
This phenomenon directly caused them to be unable to accurately complete pre-market trading operations, further exacerbating the fluctuations in stock prices.
In the trading hall of Nutao Group headquarters, Ma En also found that his trading system began to experience abnormalities. Every time he tried to perform key operations, he encountered obvious delays.
"Sara, there seems to be a problem with our system!"
Ma En said anxiously: "My key instructions are always executed half a beat later."
"I also encountered the same problem, what's going on?"
Sarah on the side was also confused and nervous. Obviously, the problem was not limited to Ma En's system.
Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Ma En quickly contacted the group’s IT department and said quickly before the other party could speak:
“Listen, the group’s trading system has a serious delay problem. , the market will open in ten minutes, if it can’t be solved, there will be a big problem!”
“We have discovered this problem!”
IT director Christopher's voice on the other end of the phone sounded nervous: "Technicians are investigating this problem, but the communication system self-test is normal. It looks like a regular network fluctuation, but the duration is abnormal."
"Hey! I don't understand this, I just need you to find a way to solve the problem quickly!"

Current target network delay: 8 seconds

Share price drop: 25.6%
The stock price dropped to the predetermined range, and the second phase plan was implemented.
Execution: Short
Operation: Guide institutions to start taking action”
Led by Yuge Capital, short-selling institutions and hedge funds secretly controlled by Atlas Group took action immediately after the market opened.
While selling off the stocks they had originally accumulated during this period, they also borrowed a large amount of Nutao Group shares and sold them under the operation of the algorithmic trading system.
Almost at the moment the market opened, the selling pressure on the market suddenly increased, and the stock price of Nutao Group plummeted like a kite with a broken string.

The stock price has hit bottom, and the third phase plan is implemented
Execution: Purchase stocks
Operation: Activate all account groups"
This attack without warning caused Nutao Group's stock to reach the lowest point in the market in a short period of time, and then Atlas' account group began to purchase a large amount of Nutao Group's stock
With the influx of a large number of buy orders, the stock price began to slowly recover, but this also meant that Atlas's institutions held a large number of Nutang Group shares at extremely low prices.
If Atlas Group chooses to go public in the future and takes all the stocks held by these institutions, then a very funny situation will arise - becoming one of the major shareholders of Nutao Group one.

Successfully purchased stocks: 270,000,000 shares
Average purchase price: 90.00 Credit points/shares

In the conference room of Nutao Group, Mrs. Paris looked at the report in her hand and frowned.
Although the stock price has rebounded, the group has suffered The losses have been very heavy, and they have also realized that the institutions that are encircling Nutao Group already hold a large share of the stock.
This is a very dangerous signal.
At this moment, she had to admit that this sudden attack completely exceeded her previous expectations
But at this juncture, she found that there seemed to be not much she and the group could do.

Estimated profit: about 54 billion credits”
In the core conference room of A Bawa Ku’s asteroid fortress, Amber took a breath of air when she saw the report compiled by the Financial Business Center.
With the help of Lilith's algorithmic trading system, these guys can no longer be described as ruthless. They are simply cruel.
The original market value was more than 800 billion credit points. Nutao Group's market value shrank to more than 330 billion in just one morning. This result can be said to have completely exceeded Amber's expectations.
"I originally thought this would be a protracted battle." After reading this. Amber, who was reporting, looked up at the other people in the conference room, and their faces were all filled with excited smiles at the moment
"But now it seems that we have fast forwarded to the 'harvest' stage?"
