Starting with a fully invested A-share portfolio to become a capital...

Chapter 121 The idea to intercept the dragon was Joker's.

Lujiazui, the capital of Shanghai.

China Asset Management Co., Ltd. office building.

Wearing an even more expensive outfit and over 200,000 yuan worth of handmade leather shoes by master Ricardo Frecia Bestti, Tao Yuang, who was enjoying immense prestige, never imagined that one day he would meet his "idol" Sun Jiandong.

Who is Sun Jiandong?
他2004年加入华夏基金，2005年6月起担任华夏红利基金经理，2008年1月兼任华夏复兴基金经理。

During his entire tenure, the ChinaAMC Dividend Fund achieved a total return of over 500%.

It is worth mentioning that in 2008, when the market was generally declining, the Huaxia Revival Fund achieved a net asset value growth rate of 29.873%, which was an outstanding performance and was rated as one of the top ten best equity funds in the 2008 China Fund Ranking.

"Xiao Tao, this is Jian Dong, you should know him," Shen Wei, a senior executive at China Asset Management and Tao Yuang's boss, introduced with a smile.

Shen Wei is 52 years old this year, 1.72 meters tall, with delicate features and a physique that seems to be exercised regularly. He doesn't look 52 at all, but rather looks like he is only in his early 40s.

Sun Jiandong, standing to the side, was a head taller than Shen Wei, at least 1.85 meters tall, with strong features, but his appearance was very ordinary.

"Of course, of course, Manager Sun, I've heard so much about you." Tao Yuang quickly stepped forward to shake hands, his eyes full of admiration.

“I heard from Supervisor Shen that a new young man correctly predicted the H1N1 flu. I didn’t expect him to be so young. What year were you born?” Sun Jiandong asked with a smile.

Tao Yuang: "Born in 76."

“76?” Sun Jiandong showed a hint of surprise, then praised, “33 years old, the age of maturity. It seems the ancients were right.”

"That's right, I heard they're getting married at the end of the year, I'll have to give them a big red envelope then." Shen Wei chimed in with a smile.

Sun Jiandong: "Then I'm really lucky to be able to drink Manager Tao's glass of wine."

"It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. If Manager Sun will do me the honor, I'll have to brag about it to the other people in the industry."

Tao Yuang lowered his stance.

With Shen Wei's help, the two quickly became acquainted.

After chatting for another ten minutes or so, Sun Jiandong extended an invitation: "There happens to be a dinner party tonight, and someone specifically requests to see you, Manager Tao. I wonder if you would do me the honor of having a chat?"

"Since Manager Sun invited me, I will definitely come," Tao Yuang replied without hesitation.

The three exchanged pleasantries for a few more minutes. Shen Wei pretended to glance at the time and looked at Sun Jiandong, saying, "It's almost 10:30. Let's not disturb Xiao Tao Jiancang. He's still busy."

"Yes, yes, career comes first."

Sun Jiandong echoed.

Tao Yuang smiled and humbly replied, "Since Supervisor Shen and Manager Sun came together, let alone these ten minutes, we could chat for a whole day and night, or even three days and three nights without disturbing you. I still have a lot to learn from you."

These words caused Sun Jiandong and Shen Wei to exchange a glance, both of them clearly satisfied.

When the two actually left, Tao Yuang stared at their retreating figures, lost in thought, his eyes flashing with confusion.

He had considered the complexities of the mutual fund industry, but he hadn't imagined it would be this complex.

Since following Shen Wei's instructions to build a 5 million yuan position in Huahai Pharmaceutical, his fund's investment plan has been completely disrupted. He originally planned to allocate 2 million yuan to Jianfeng Group, but reduced it to 1.5 million yuan. Other biopharmaceutical stocks were also reduced.

The bad news is that the plan has been disrupted.

The good news is there's a million-dollar rebate.

Tao Yuang never intended to cheat the fund investors out of their money, but the amount they offered was simply too much, and with the hints from his supervisor Shen Wei, he simply chose to "sacrifice his friends to save himself."

It was precisely because of his investment in Huahai Pharmaceutical that Shen Wei began to frequently introduce industry leaders to Tao Yuang and attend various dinner parties, which allowed him to truly gain access to the inside story of public funds.

Who would have thought that mutual funds could find ways to monetize and take over private equity investments?
But in the end, it all boils down to four words: the transfer of benefits!
Once Tao Yuang embarked on this path, there was no turning back; Shen Wei had firmly grasped his weaknesses.

However, Tao Yuang was not a lamb to the slaughter. He would immigrate as soon as he had made enough money, thus successfully getting rid of the mess.

……

And at the same time.

the other side.

Ningbo Jiefang South Road.

VIP room on the fourth floor of Galaxy Securities branch.

After suffering a crushing defeat last time, speculative investors such as Xu Xiang, Sun Guodong, and Ma Xinqi have learned their lesson and begun large-scale, batch-based market manipulation.

What is batch disk control?

For any stock with a relevant concept, we should build up positions at the bottom, which means not only to be the leading stock, but also to be the second and third leading stocks.

Currently, they control the "H1N1 influenza testing concept" stocks, and have invested in more than a dozen related stocks.

As for Rhine Biologics, perhaps driven by the positive news of the abnormal trading announcement of Jianfeng Group, its absorption capacity has soared.

"Finally finished clearing out! We didn't lose money! We even made a small profit of 1000 million!"

Ma Xinqi was somewhat excited.

Sun Guodong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Rhine Biologics didn't lose money?"

"No, we even made over ten million. The announcement about the abnormal stock price movement from Jianfeng Group was so timely that it boosted the entire shikimic acid sector. Retail investors rushed in like madmen." Ma Xinqi said with a faint smile.

He never expected that Rhine Biologics, which had been put on the verge of "death" and was even looking for a public fund to take over, would actually have a second spring.

That's how the stock market is; it's ever-changing, and anything can happen.

"If Rhine Biologics didn't lose money, then we made a huge profit in this round. We've completely controlled the flu testing concept."

"This is like finding a new path after a dark night!"

"Even God is on our side."

"It should be said that even God is on our side. Let the retail investors keep their Rhine Biologics shares as family heirlooms, hahaha!"

"You're so cheap, but I like it."

The members of the Ningbo Daredevils were laughing and chatting. No one expected that Jianfeng Group's performance would be so good, which directly boosted the entire H1N1 flu concept sector and even affected Rhine Biologics.

"pat-"

Xu Xiang lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled softly, saying, "This is quite an interesting turn of events. However, the market is too hot, and regulators might really get involved. I should clear out some of my holdings to ensure that I don't lose my principal."

Having spent so many years in the underworld, he has honed his skills in avoiding danger.

The hotter the market, the more vigilant we should be.

Because the market rally ended abruptly, rather than gradually, much like the end of a bull market, it was almost always a sharp drop, followed by a switch to a bear market.

Why is it always a one-hit kill?
This is because when the first drop occurs, say a 5% decline, many retail investors still have profits to cover them. They think that since they have held their positions for so long, they can't let their efforts go to waste and they have to wait a little longer.

As a result, the decline widened on the second day, and the combined decline over the two days exceeded 10%, thus creating the first batch of retail investors who were left holding the bag at the top.

"Speaking of reducing holdings, I heard some news, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Ma Xinqi suddenly spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

"what news?"

Sun Guodong asked. "An older brother I know said that the CEO of Jianfeng Group might be reducing his holdings. This news is unconfirmed, so just take it with a grain of salt," Ma Xinqi said, glancing at everyone.

"The group's CEO is reducing his holdings. This must be a 15-day advance notice of a takeover bid, right? But I think the recent actions of Jianfeng Group are indeed a bit unusual. Their intention to drive up the stock price is too obvious."

As Sun Guodong spoke, he also lit a cigarette for himself.

"No need to find a private equity firm."

Someone chimed in.

"If you want to reduce your holdings, there are too many ways, but isn't Jianfeng Group a family business? Just let the major shareholder reduce their holdings. If the CEO reduces his holdings, wouldn't that just put pressure on the stock price?"

"It's probably fake news."

"I also think it's fake news."

Amidst the analysis from a group of investors, Ma Xinqi shrugged and said, "That's why I said it's just for fun; I also think it's ridiculous."

“If it’s a divorce and a reduction in holdings, then there’s no need to disclose the shareholding.” Xu Xiang suddenly spoke up.

When he said that, speculative investors like Sun Guodong and Ma Xinqi were stunned. They really hadn't expected him to reduce his holdings through divorce.

As soon as Xu Xiang finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "No matter how much Jianfeng Group reduces its holdings, we must remain cautious."

"correct."

Sun Guodong thought of something and looked at Xu Xiang, saying, "Brother Xiang, I also heard some news. Someone said that the idea of ​​intercepting the dragon was Joker's."

"Joker?"

Xu Xiang's mind raced.

A few seconds passed, and after confirming that he didn't recognize this person named "joker," he asked, "Are you a newly emerging speculative investor?"

"He's a small-time speculator, the one who talked to the guy who jumped off a building about intercepting the dragon last time. He's been sharing his trading insights on Tieba, and recently he even started a paid research report group."

"puff!"

No sooner had Sun Guodong finished speaking than Ma Xinqi couldn't hold back and joked, "These Tom, Dick, and Harry who harvest fans' money can steal our dragon? Brother Sun, did you go to Deyun Society to learn crosstalk?"

"Brother Sun really has a talent for humor. I've seen that Joker before. He only seems to have a few hundred thousand in funds. How did he become a speculative investor?"

"Which Joker? I'm Batman!"

"A clown on Tieba, the one who challenged the guy who jumped off a building to intercept the dragon, but got exposed in various chat groups. Anyway, he's pretty funny."

"I think I vaguely remember..."

"It feels like the Shadowless Kick is just a distraction. That kid can't even come up with something decent, he just made up the Joker, it's hilarious!"

The members of the Ningbo Daredevils simply did not believe that a "real joker" who had embarrassed himself in public could be a participant in the Dragon Slayer incident. They were only willing to believe that Liao Guopei had pushed out a scapegoat.

"Ah ha ha…"

Sun Guodong gave an awkward smile, adjusted his glasses, and said, "I found out by chance. Just take it as a joke."

"Take it as a joke? I feel like you could audition for Deyun Club and maybe even become their top performer," Ma Xinqi teased.

Xu Xiang stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and jokingly added, "I actually know Guo Degang. I'll introduce you to him later, Brother Sun."

"Stop joking, stop joking. If I could rap, I would have been on stage long ago. I'm actually a very shy little boy."

"Hahaha."

"As expected of Brother Sun, he's got talent."

"You're shy? I didn't see you being shy when I went to see the technician last time, Brother Sun."

"Changing batches shows Brother Sun's composure!"

Sun Guodong's self-deprecating humor caused the group of speculative investors in the suicide squad to burst into laughter. No one associated "joker" with Intercepting Dragon, because the two are not in the same league.

Ma Xinqi and Xu Xiang both felt that this was Liao Guopei's clever plan to escape and shift the blame, but he seriously underestimated the intelligence of the Ningbo Daredevils.

……

Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital.

A separate ward for orthopedic patients.

Xu Zhirou crossed her arms and looked at Xu Zhiruo, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and couldn't help but scold her:

"I told you not to run around like that. A shut-in like you who never exercises, why did you have to participate in some city treasure hunt? Now look what happened, you sprained your ankle and it's all swollen!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked sharply at Zhang Yang beside her and attacked him indiscriminately: "You financial scumbag, you really can't even protect a girl, what kind of girl do you take out?"

"..."

Zhang Yang felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.

He never expected Xu Zhiruo to be so "fragile." She twisted her ankle and it became red and swollen after just a short jog. Fortunately, no bones were broken.

"Don't call him a scumbag, be polite," Xu Zhiruo said, displeased.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about him, let's talk about you!"

Xu Zhirou pointed her gun at Xu Zhiruo again and continued to scold her: "It's just those worthless little gifts, is it really worth fighting with others for them? And you're supposed to be a finance major!"

"You do not understand!"

"If you understood, you wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

"It was just an accident."

Watching the two arguing, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh at how much free time college students have; they're going to such lengths for a worthless gift.

Just half an hour earlier, Zhang Yang drove back to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics to pick up Xu Zhiruo. The latter was still immersed in the joy of Zhang Yang getting a new car, but as they arrived at Zhengda Plaza in Pudong, the two entered the area marked by Zhenai.com and began to participate in the "520 City Treasure Hunt".

In just a short while, Zhang Yang deduced the first possible hiding place of the gift based on the initial clues given: the corner of the fourth floor of the IFC Mall.

The two rushed over in a hurry, only to find that there was a competitor. The two teams were not willing to give in, and while they were running, Xu Zhiruo twisted her ankle. Zhang Yang had no choice but to give up and take her to see a doctor.

"It's nothing serious, you can go back now. I'll be fine after resting for a couple of days." Xu Zhiruo was now determined to get rid of Xu Zhirou. She was too long-winded and didn't understand romance at all.

Can romance be measured by money?
It's not!
Money can create romance, but romance cannot be measured by money.

Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, Xu Zhirou took out her phone and said, "I need to call my dad."

"No! Please don't hit me!"

Upon hearing that her parents were going to be informed, Xu Zhiruo instantly lost her composure. In a flash, she jumped out of bed, snatched the phone, and the intense pain from her twisted ankle made her lose her balance.

Zhang Yang reacted quickly, helping Xu Zhiruo to lie down again. He then looked at Xu Zhirou and said, "You're all adults now. There's no need to tell your parents about every little thing that happens."

"That's right, that's right, the first lesson for adults is to only report good news and not bad news, oh dear!" Xu Zhiruo, lying in her hospital bed, couldn't help but chime in.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Xu Zhirou decided to ignore the couple and said coldly, "You two better watch yourselves and don't cause any more trouble."
