Black technology: a super empire spanning two worlds

Chapter 352 [Unemployment anxiety and panic across the internet have intensified dramatically once again]

"...We secretly tested the system with our partners for half a month. During this period, Liuguang Xingyu, who were stationed at the hotel, not only passed all the tests, but also perfectly integrated into the hotel's work environment. No one noticed their true identities."

At the press conference of Likang Technology, the spokesperson said in an orderly manner: "Based on the feedback from the trial operation, Liuguang Xingyu's reception capabilities have performed exceptionally well. She is able to quickly remember the name and needs of each guest and provide personalized service."

"She is extremely efficient and never makes mistakes. She can always solve various problems of guests in a timely manner. Her presence makes the hotel's service more efficient and considerate."

Immediately following, a vlog video was released at the press conference showing several Radiant Star Language lifelike robots working and greeting guests at a partner hotel.

The spokesperson continued, "During her time working at the hotel, Liuguang Xingyu got along well with her colleagues. She always greeted everyone with a cheerful smile, and no one, whether guest or colleague, ever doubted her identity."

At this point, the spokesperson added, "A little anecdote also occurred during this time. One of the hotel employees fell in love at first sight with one of the 'Flowing Stars' and began pursuing her passionately. He was unaware of her true identity and thought she was a human girl."

"This case fully demonstrates the high degree of anthropomorphism of Liuguang Xingyu. Not only does it perform well at work, but it is also indistinguishable from a real person in terms of language communication and simulated emotional communication."

The reporters at the scene were in an uproar. After watching the released vlog video, all the reporters present had to admit that the Liuguang Xingyu humanoid robot could perfectly replace human staff.

They are perfectly competent in front desk and reception positions in the hotel and catering industry, and their service quality is very consistent, receiving widespread praise from guests.

Reporters asked a series of questions, trying to learn more details.

The spokesperson further revealed that, in addition to the hotel industry, the Liuguang Xingyu humanoid robot has also undergone secret trial operations in multiple industries such as medical care, education, and manufacturing, achieving remarkable results.

This press conference is really designed to make everyone anxious enough.

The news quickly spread like wildfire across the internet, causing another sensation and upheaval. Those who saw the news experienced an even greater surge in their fear and anxiety about unemployment.

Furthermore, business owners in many industries have had to consider introducing the Flowing Star Language robot to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve service quality.

If competitors adopt the Flowing Star Language, and you don't follow suit, you won't be able to compete with them.

At the same time, the wave of opposition is growing stronger and stronger. If this becomes widespread and permeates various industries, many people in various positions will simply not be able to compete with robots, and hundreds of millions of people will feel an unprecedented unemployment crisis.

Shortly after the news broke, in the capital market, around 14:20 PM, Likang Technology's stock price surged again in the A-share market.

This stock has recently experienced four consecutive days of decline, falling by -4.99%, -1.77%, and -9.61% in the previous three days, respectively. Today, it fell again, breaking through the 7000 yuan mark.

At 14 PM, Likang Technology's stock price plummeted by more than 10.55%, hitting a low of 6363.12 yuan. The cumulative drop from its high point had reached -36.37%, and its market value had once fallen below the 3 trillion yuan mark.

However, following the press conference held by Likang Technology in the afternoon, driven by this news, the company's stock price immediately turned from weak to strong. Almost immediately after the press conference, less than half a minute later, the stock price surged and began a strong rebound.

Clearly, quantitative trading programs capture market information and quickly place orders to buy, reacting much faster than humans.

There are currently a lot of quantitative funds speculating in this stock because the arbitrage opportunities are huge, the capacity is large, and there is strong logical support.

After the market closed, Likang Technology managed to pull itself up from more than 10 points below the opening price, turning positive and closing up 3.09% at 7330.47 yuan, with its market capitalization rising to 3.4 trillion yuan. The total trading volume for the day was 507 billion yuan.

On Wednesday, the following day, Likang Technology rebounded again, surging 10.20% and recovering the 8000 yuan mark. After the market closed, the stock price was locked at 8078.19 yuan, and the market value rebounded to 3.75 trillion yuan. The total trading volume for the day was 588 billion yuan.

Following Thursday, Likang Technology's stock price continued to strengthen, opening flat in the morning and then rising steadily throughout the day, with both volume and price increasing.

Around 11:00 AM, the stock price reached the 9000 yuan mark. Until the morning session ended at 11:30 AM, the stock price continued to rise, reaching 9558.76 yuan, an increase of 18.33%.

Although ordinary investors cannot buy or afford this stock, it has attracted a great deal of attention.

Based on this trend, everyone believes that Likang Technology's adjustment has ended and it is about to start its sixth major upward wave, with the potential to hit the daily limit. If so, it can break through the 9999.99 yuan "leopard top" today. Previously, there were also "pair tops" and "leopard tops", but they were all successfully broken through.

Just as the market was generally optimistic that Likang Technology would break through the 9999.99 yuan mark in the afternoon and reach a new historical high, analysts from Zhongxin Securities released an analysis report on Likang Technology during the midday break.

The research report is extensive, but to summarize, Axin's analysts are extremely bullish on Likang Technology. As the Liuguang Xingyu product empowers multiple industries and fulfills its function as a means of production, the overall market size will surge significantly.

Axin analysts significantly raised the target price for Likang Technology to NT$21505.39, with both exact and partial figures.

This stock price corresponds to a total market capitalization of 10 trillion yuan. Analysts at Zhongxin Securities believe that Likang Technology can reach a market capitalization of 10 trillion yuan in the medium to long term, and will become the second listed company in the A-share market with a market capitalization of over 10 trillion yuan after Lingjing Technology.

However, investors from all walks of life in the market immediately became restless.

Zhongxin Securities' sudden release of a bullish research report at this time panicked several speculative investors who entered the market today, and many stock market participants started cursing.

Onlookers also left comments in the market comment section, saying, "Oh no, we're doomed. Zhongxin Securities' bullish pronouncements never turn out well; they're practically the biggest whistleblower in the A-share market."

Their fighting power is truly formidable; every vote that Ashin publicly endorses goes up invariably.

Ashin's predictions of a market crash are so strong that it's almost a mystery, even compared to the "double top" or "leopard top" patterns.

As expected, when the market opened at 13 p.m., Likang Technology's stock price fell sharply and continued to decline throughout the afternoon.

The top performer, Likang Technology, closed with a long upper shadow line, and its after-hours gains were +4.15%, closing at 8413.61 yuan, with a market value of 3.91 trillion yuan. Today's trading volume once again exceeded 100 billion yuan, with a total trading volume of 1113 billion yuan.

Many investors didn't buy shares in Likang Technology, nor could they afford to.

However, everyone is also criticizing Ashin for jumping out to promote the stock, and scolding him for not stirring things up. It is very likely that Likang Technology will break through to a new high this afternoon and start the sixth main upward wave. The smaller stocks on the main board and related industry concept stocks can also follow suit.

……

Around 16 PM.

Lingjing Technology Headquarters, Chairman's Office.

Yun Shu came to Xiao Yu's office to report some news: "I received inside information that relevant departments will formally meet with Likang Technology tomorrow."

It's obvious that Zhou Chengyang has played the bad cop role for quite a while now. The panic and anxiety about unemployment across the internet has reached a fever pitch, and it's time for the good cop to step in and uphold justice.

Yun Shu added, "There's another matter: the social security fund wants to invest in Likang Technology and plans to use this opportunity to create a deep dip so it can get involved in the stock."

Clearly, a very small number of well-informed individuals already knew this in advance.

Since Likang Technology's stock price surged over the past three months, countless funds have missed out, including the social security fund, which missed out significantly. It takes time to do research, prepare to invest, and gather the necessary funds.

Once all of this was settled, looking back, wow, Likang Technology's stock price had already soared to the sky.

So, this time I wanted to take this opportunity to "reverse the car to pick someone up" and dig a deep pit inside.

Xiao Yu calmly said, "Let them do what they want with the capital market. We won't interfere."

In fact, there are not many retail investors in Likang Technology now. It is mostly large investors and quantitative funds playing the game, with a bunch of quantitative traders cutting each other in the process.

Yun Shu pondered for a moment and then looked at Xiao Yu: "If Likang Technology experiences a crash, Lingjing Technology will not be spared either. Currently, our company has not only more than 7000 institutional shareholders, but also more than 3000 million retail investors. If it crashes along with us, should we step in to stabilize the secondary market?"
