This is the fiery legend of a man who takes on the global financial order with wisdom as his sword.
“Market fluctuations are strings woven from countless overlapping cycles. I alone can pluck them and set off a resonance.”
Lu Yan, a genius cast out by Wall Street, returns to China with his original theory of “line-cycle resonance.” To ordinary people, futures are a casino, crypto is an abyss, and leveraged contracts are a meat grinder. But to him, they are nothing more than curves moving at predetermined frequencies.
By day, he is an overlooked university lecturer. By night, he is the “Market Phantom,” a name that strikes fear into short sellers around the world. With fifty-fold leverage, he shorts commodities. With hundred-fold contracts, he razes the crypto market and wipes out the crooked market makers. Every trade he makes is as precise as a scalpel.
But when his astonishing returns draw the attention of the world's top investors, the real challenges begin: a siege by foreign hedge funds, probes by ancient financial families at home, and a final hunt orchestrated by the power behind the exchanges. The financial world's fangs are only just beginning to show.
Then he meets Su Wanqing, a woman who matches him move for move in the digital world. When theory reaches its peak and technology its pinnacle, the two of them will face the entire world.
