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

Chapter 128 Defying the Law, Earning Income While Sleeping

[Stock Anomaly Alert]: A super buy order of 1090 million yuan appeared in Rhine Biologics.

When the unusual order with a value of tens of millions appeared, the entire A-share market was collectively stunned, and retail investors were completely in an uproar.

[Feng Qingyang]: Xu Xiang is awesome! The Grandmaster is awesome! The China Securities Regulatory Commission suspended trading of H1N1 flu concept stocks such as Jianfeng Group, Hualan Biological, and Da'an Gene, and then a multi-million dollar buy order pushed Rhine Biological to the daily limit. Awesome!!

[The Monk Doesn't Cheat]: No wonder he's a man with 50 billion in funds, he's so arrogant and domineering, I'll follow him 100 times!
[Desert Lone Smoke]: Holy crap! Is this a direct confrontation with the China Securities Regulatory Commission?
[Three Thousand Yue Soldiers]: The Grand Master is indeed worthy of being called the Grand Master. Only Xu Xiang could have such courage and boldness.

The recent surge in Rhine Biologics' stock price was driven by speculative investors such as Xu Xiang, Sun Guodong, and Ma Xinqi, who were known as the "Xu Xiang concept stocks."

Just at noon, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) suspended trading of stocks such as Jianfeng Group, Hualan Biological, and Da'an Gene for investigation. Shortly after the market reopened in the afternoon, Rhine Biological saw a buy order worth tens of millions of yuan. Retail investors naturally assumed that Xu Xiang was behind it all.

While still on vacation in Sanya, Liao Guopei noticed the unusual fund movements and immediately felt a chill run down his spine, exclaiming, "It has to be the mastermind, Xu Xiang, defying the wind and going head-to-head with the China Securities Regulatory Commission!"

Not only Liao Guopei, but also Chen Sanrong, Lin Guangchang, Zhang Jianping and other speculative investors stared wide-eyed at the news of abnormal capital movement. They had thought Xu Xiang was arrogant, but they did not expect him to be this arrogant.

Even Qiu Baoyu, the "God of A" in Fucheng, couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "The Grand Master is indeed the Grand Master. His hand speed and brain speed are just too fast. The first thing he did after Jianfeng Group was suspended from trading was not to think about avoiding the storm, but to think about pulling up the second wave of Rhine Bio's main upward trend. Awesome!"

"Cough-cough-"

At the library of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Zhang Yang's computer displayed a message from Lin Guangchang.

[Stock Trading to Support the Family]: Rhine Biologics saw a buy order worth tens of millions of yuan. It seems that Xu Xiang is about to launch a second round of upward trend. What do you think, Joker?
After glancing at the message, Zhang Yang couldn't help but marvel at Xu Xiang's decisiveness.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) suspended trading at noon to investigate speculation in H1N1 influenza concept stocks such as Jianfeng Group, Hualan Biological, and Da'an Gene. Rhine Biologics narrowly escaped the crisis because it was "intercepted".

Having lost its competitors, Rhine Biologics is currently the only stock in the market with shikimic acid as its core concept.

If the stock price is driven up at this point, speculative retail investors are likely to follow suit.

Scarcity always presents an element of speculation.

It's like "hunger marketing"—having goods but not selling them, creating the illusion that if you don't buy now, you'll never be able to buy them again, causing consumers to lose their basic rationality.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Yang typed a reply: "It's normal to see a second round of upward trend when there are no competitors."

[Stock Trading to Support the Family]: I'll buy some then, and I'll sell after it rises two or three times.

[joker]: Yes.

[Stock Trading to Support the Family]: What about you?
[joker]: I probably won't be able to get in. There are already 40,000 to 50,000 lots of sell orders. If I don't get greedy this round, I should be able to make a small profit.

After replying to Lin Guangchang, Zhang Yang opened his VIP market research group. At this time, hundreds of people were discussing the unusual activity of Rhine Biologics, and some had even placed bets.

[White Sanctuary]: Xu Xiang is too arrogant. He's practically putting eye drops on the China Securities Regulatory Commission. I wonder if Rhine Biologics will also be suspended from trading.

[I am a kitten]: I now strongly suspect that Xu Xiang reported Jianfeng Group, Hualan Biological and Da'an Gene, and then he himself drove up the price of Rhine Biological.

[Dead Soul]: That can't be right. Reporting it and getting the authorities involved would be like shooting yourself in the foot.
[Floating on air]: Not necessarily. I heard that Xu Xiang lost money on Rhine Biologics and probably got angry and reported it. Now that there are no competitors, he can enjoy the profits all to himself.

[Quick Gunner]: I've already bought 50 lots of Rhine Biologics, and I've already gotten in early. I'm just waiting for Xu Xiang to give me ten consecutive limit-up days!
The fact that Rhine Biologics paid tens of millions of dollars in damages has led all fingers to point to Xu Xiang.

Meanwhile, far away on Jiefang South Road in Ningbo, Xu Xiang, in the VIP room of Galaxy Securities' business department, took a deep drag of his cigarette and looked at Sun Guodong, saying:

"Brother Sun, tell me, who is so bold as to commit a crime right under the nose of the China Securities Regulatory Commission?"

Everyone says Xu Xiang is arrogant, but his arrogance is tempered with reason.

Unbridled and unrestrained arrogance is not arrogance, it's idiocy.

Xu Xiang has been involved in the stock market for over a decade, but he never imagined he would directly confront the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). This person is a hundred times more arrogant than Xu Xiang.

Sun Guodong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "It might be A God or Alliance Leader Zhang, or even other top-tier speculative funds that drove the price to the daily limit. After all, a large sum of money worth tens of millions is not something that ordinary speculative funds would dare to invest."

"pat-"

Ma Xinqi, who was standing to the side, lit a cigarette and calmly analyzed, "Personally, I don't think it's A-God or Zhang Mengzhu. Neither of them is that bold, especially Zhang Mengzhu. If it were him, he would probably want to be double-teamed by the institutions and the national team's funds."

Everyone in the speculative investment circle knows that Zhang Jianping offended a group of public fund institutions because of Huaguo Aluminum in 2007, which resulted in institutions targeting him by dumping shares no matter which stock he invested in.

The institutional investors have already made him question his existence, so he's keeping a low profile. If he offends state funds again, he'll probably have to completely withdraw from the speculative investment circle.

"If it's not us, not God A, not Alliance Leader Zhang, then who else could it be?"

"Who on earth is so arrogant?"

"Random investors outside are saying that it was our Ningbo speculative capital that drove the price up, and they're all shouting that Xu Xiang is awesome. This is really a bit of a mess!"

"Outrageous!"

"My account has been used by someone else!"

A group of Ningbo Daredevils and speculative investors were discussing among themselves in the VIP room. Xu Xiang looked at Rhine Biologics' limit-up price of 22.3 yuan and said with great interest, "Who exactly is controlling the market? Interesting."

……

However, what no one could have imagined was that the person who drove Rhine Biologics' stock price to its daily limit had already gone to the underworld.

"Everyone, disperse! Disperse!"

"Don't gather around!"

"No one should gather, no one should take photos, and no one should add to our workload!"

At this time, police had already set up a cordon at Qianjiang International Times Square to prevent onlookers from getting close, and a group of auxiliary police officers formed a human wall to block the view.

The top floor of the Hongyue Building office building.

More than a dozen criminal police officers systematically separated all the people from Hongyue Investment and then took them outside one by one to inquire about the specific circumstances.

“Zhong Qifeng used all his savings, leveraged it five times, and then went all in on Jianfeng Group. At noon, the China Securities Regulatory Commission suspended trading to investigate Jianfeng Group, and he may have jumped to his death.”

“Zhong Qifeng and I were just colleagues. I don’t know anything about his case. I only know that he pulled the lever and then jumped off the building.”

"He is my subordinate. My office is not here, so I don't know what happened."

“Although I had a relationship with Zhong Qifeng, his death has absolutely nothing to do with me. He insisted on off-exchange margin trading, which resulted in Jianfeng Group hitting the daily limit down for three consecutive days and being suspended from trading by the China Securities Regulatory Commission for investigation today, so he jumped.”

"I don't know him well, so I don't know."

As each testimony was recorded, the cause of Zhong Qifeng's death was determined.

The head of the criminal investigation team picked up the walkie-talkie and notified everyone: "The deceased jumped from the building due to a stock market crash. Homicide has been ruled out. The facts are clear, the testimony is conclusive, and we can call it a day."

"receive."

"clear."

The other detectives began packing their belongings.

The ordinary employees were released, but Vice President Sun Yiheng was taken to the police station and asked to fill out a statement. By evening, Sun Yiheng emerged from the police station, utterly enraged, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

The company has explicit rules prohibiting employees from trading stocks during work hours.

They not only broke the rules, but they also played with five times leverage!

Who granted you this permission?
Who signed the order?
He must investigate this thoroughly!

Sun Yiheng was well aware that if he couldn't find a scapegoat, or a fall guy, he might lose his job once his boss, Liu Hua, held him accountable.

Perhaps due to extreme bad luck, just as Sun Yiheng hailed a taxi and got into the car, Zhang Xiaolong called him, informing him that Zhong Qifeng had accessed Zhang Yang's margin trading account.

"What did you say?!!"

"Did they go all in on Rhine Biologics with 1000 million?"

Upon hearing this news, Sun Yiheng almost fainted. His head was buzzing and his whole body was trembling.

He vaguely remembered that Rhine Biotech was a stock that had been heavily speculated on and left in a mess. He could lose millions, or even lose everything.

"Yes...yes, Zhong Qifeng sold all of Zhang Yang's stocks half a minute before jumping off the building, and then went all in on Rhine Biologics."

How is Rhine Biologics' stock price today?

"It hit the daily limit."

"It hit the daily limit?"

"Yes, it hit the daily limit, but because it was mainly driven by a leveraged trading account, it only made a few hundred thousand. If it hits the daily limit down tomorrow, it could lose over a million at once."

Just after he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaolong added in a deep voice, "This is not the worst situation. The China Securities Regulatory Commission is cracking down on speculation in H1N1 flu concepts. Rhine Biologics may be suspended from trading."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yiheng's face turned extremely pale. He closed his eyes, pondering the possible consequences of his actions.

Money isn't the most important thing right now; what he's afraid of is losing his credibility.

Competition among off-exchange margin trading companies is fierce, and there are few guarantees. With this incident involving Hongyue Investment, its business may plummet, and no one will want to use its services anymore.

"I'll talk to you when I get back to the company."

"Yes, Mr. Sun."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Yiheng looked at the taxi driver and urged, "Driver, please drive faster. Something came up at the company, and I need to go back and deal with it as soon as possible."

"You can't go any faster, or you'll be breaking the rules." The taxi driver refused his request to speed up, cursing him under his breath.

"The sample size is great, but they've already spent 1000 million. If a big boss really has 1000 million, would he still use it to take a taxi?"

Sun Yiheng doesn't have mind-reading abilities, so he doesn't know what the taxi driver is thinking.

Since it couldn't be rushed, he took out his phone and called his boss to explain the situation the company was facing.

……

Commercial street outside Shanghai University of Finance and Economics campus.

A casual coffee shop.

Although Tao Yuang has assembled his own market research team and no longer needs to provide market research reports, "Caiyan.com" must diversify its content to stand out among many competitors.

Zhang Yang approached He Jing again and told her about the paid research report section of "Caiyan.com".

After listening carefully, He Jing tossed her hair, smiled, and looked at Zhang Yang, saying, "You mean Caiyan.com is going to create a paid market research report column and invited me to join and sign a contract?"

"Yes."

Zhang Yang nodded and continued, "For a high-quality market research report, I will guarantee you a minimum of 5000 yuan, and then we will split the revenue 70/30 based on the number of subscribers."

"There's a guaranteed minimum return? That's great!"

He Jing couldn't help but marvel at how Zhang Yang's entire demeanor had changed since he returned to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics after using leverage.

Previously, it concealed its sharpness and kept a low profile, but now it is clear that this sharp sword has revealed its ultimate edge.

“The number of subscribers may not be many in the initial stage. Without a guaranteed income, entrepreneurs may starve,” Zhang Yang explained casually.

"Okay, I'll take it as a part-time job." He Jing agreed without thinking too much about it.

Although she has already signed an internship contract with Huaxin Securities and will be starting work after graduation, she can still do some market research in her spare time to increase her income.

Many people choose to start a side hustle during their prime years.

Having both a primary job and a side hustle is the key to accumulating wealth quickly.

He Jing also keenly realized that cooperating with Zhang Yang's "Caiyan.com" was not only a part-time job, but also a perfect part-time job that could generate income while she was asleep.

As Warren Buffett once said: "If you haven't found a way to make money while you sleep, you'll work until you die."

American business investment guru Robert Keosia also mentioned in his bestselling book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" that passive income is the key to financial freedom.

Many Wall Street elites and business leaders have proposed the concept of "passive income".

Since people need to sleep at least six hours a day, if you can continue to make money during those six hours, it means you've earned six hours more money than others.

Seeing that He Jing readily agreed, Zhang Yang took out the contract he had prepared in advance, handed it to her, and said, "Then let's sign the contract today."

"You're quite well-prepared." He Jing looked at the inkpad on the table and glanced at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang: "Let's talk about cooperation."

"Let me take a look at the contract."

He Jing was not an ignorant little girl and would not sign the contract blindly. She only signed the contract after confirming that the terms were similar to what Zhang Yang had said.

"Click——"

Suddenly, a bright flash of light caught Zhang Yang and He Jing's attention.

Cheng Zhihong, standing outside the coffee shop window, was completely flustered. He had no idea that he hadn't turned off the flash and had been caught red-handed by the two of them.

"Your fan?"

He Jing looked at Zhang Yang.

Did she know that Zhang Yang was a prominent figure at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, a veritable superstar?

Zhang Yang recognized Cheng Zhihong at a glance; he was the vice president of the badminton club who had pursued Xu Zhirou for three years without success. He said indifferently, "Maybe, never mind him."
