Over the next two days, December 9th and 10th, the stock market surged rapidly, gaining 5.8% and 6.6% respectively.
After observing the situation for a while, Wu Hua became increasingly certain of his plans. He decided that the ideal time to fully liquidate his stock holdings, which totaled over 60 billion US dollars, would be December 15th. However, liquidating everything completely in just half a month was indeed a tight schedule. For now, he kept this plan strictly to himself, not even revealing it to Clark, intending to issue specific instructions only right before the market opened that day.
Even though Clark and the others were keeping a constant eye on the stock market, Wu Hua himself was far from idle. Long before heading to the island nation, he had mapped out a series of post-stock-crash acquisition plans and had already quietly begun the preparatory work. Electronics, automobiles, and steel were his primary targets. For electronics, he would cast a wide net to select suitable targets, while in the steel sector, he specifically locked onto Nippon Steel.
