Synopsis

[Drawing on the author’s more than twenty years of real-world experience in the securities industry, this novel reveals how stocks are traded, along with the workings of brokerage branches, traders, hot-money investors, private equity, insider trading, and more. Alongside everyday urban life, it follows a second, hidden thread: a suspenseful investigation centered on revenge.]

Against the backdrop of the 2008 financial crisis, the stock market hits rock bottom. Chen Hao moves from a securities branch in Luoyang to a Beijing brokerage, then to a private equity fund, eventually rising to become a major player in hot-money trading. From 2008 to 2018, the world is turbulent and unpredictable: financial crises, earthquakes, the Olympics, the four-trillion-yuan stimulus, smartphones, the ChiNext market, bull runs, digital currencies... These towering events of our era may seem far away, yet they are closer than we think. Workplace rivalries, the struggle to survive, fierce battles in the stock market, and the magnification of desire lay human nature bare. There are very few Chinese novels that truly depict the securities industry. The sector is too specialized, secretive, and technical. Writing restrictions across platforms are too stringent, and the real battles in the stock market are even more brutal and thrilling than those in fiction. This book is dedicated to the hundreds of millions of Chinese stock investors.
