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

Chapter 222 Satoshi Nakamoto's Genesis Wallet, Yamashita Beer Five Days, Five Boards
At 39 degrees north latitude, Yanjing has long days and short nights. As the last rays of orange-red sunset fade, the sky slowly darkens.

After enjoying the beautiful sunset from the hotel's floor-to-ceiling windows, Zhang Yang left his suite and headed to the hotel's indoor swimming pool.

He's been too busy lately and hasn't been swimming in a long time, plus the Zhangjiang Talent Apartment doesn't have the corresponding facilities.

For people who haven't developed an exercise habit, exercise can be a painful experience, but for those who have, the physical fatigue can actually make them feel refreshed.

"Ding-dong-"

Just as Zhang Yang stood up, a prominent notification sound came from the laptop placed on the living room table in the suite.

He walked over and casually clicked on the email pop-up in the lower right corner. What he saw was an email from a stranger.

However, the opening phrase "Satoshi Nakamoto" immediately put Zhang Yang on edge, as it was the English name of Satoshi Nakamoto, the author of the Bitcoin white paper.

When Zhang Yang went to the United States to meet with Buffett, he briefly met a member of the "Satoshi Nakamoto team," who invited Zhang Yang to join the "Satoshi Nakamoto team" to be responsible for the promotion and record management of Bitcoin in China.

As a reborn individual, Zhang Yang is well aware of the future value of Bitcoin. He believes that Bitcoin, which is currently worth $0.00099 per coin, will rise to hundreds of thousands of dollars per coin in the future.

Why did it rise so much?

Very simple.

There is a mastermind behind it all.

This is similar to a game of musical chairs, where behind-the-scenes capital first offers a high price to acquire the product, creating scarcity, and then, once a collective consciousness is formed, begins to use Bitcoin to reap the benefits.

So the question is, who could drive Bitcoin's price to surge by hundreds of millions of times?
Based on Zhang Yang's previous life's experience with hierarchical analysis, the mastermind behind Bitcoin's rise is most likely the Rothschild family, known as the "shadow cabinet."

Many people may have heard of it, but no one really knows it.

To put it simply, well-known top wineries like Lafite and Mouton Rothschild, as well as De Beers, which has contracted South African diamond mines, created scarcity, and reaped profits from the world for more than half a century, are all companies controlled by them.

It is rumored that the Federal Reserve has intricate connections with the Rothschild family.

It was precisely because it might involve Jewish capital operations, coupled with the fact that Satoshi Nakamoto and his wallet from his previous life were shrouded in mystery, that Zhang Yang realized the waters ran deep and he refused the invitation to join the "Satoshi Nakamoto team".

[Satoshi Nakamoto，872F6B29632471……FA445C4DC3……]
Seeing the email's contents—Satoshi Nakamoto, and the 64 bytes that appeared to be a private key—made Zhang Yang's heart skip a beat; he felt that something had happened to the other party.

In the past, some laboratories claimed to have cracked the first 10 of the 12-character mnemonic phrase for the Genesis wallet. However, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson pointed out that Satoshi Nakamoto used an old key generation mechanism from before 2013, when the BIP-39 standard had not yet been released. Therefore, the credibility of the crack is extremely low.

To put it simply, Satoshi Nakamoto's genesis wallet may not have been a 12-digit mnemonic phrase, but rather a 64-digit hexadecimal private key.

In the world of blockchain, the private key is like the zipper of a wallet. Once the private key is leaked, someone else can take all the money out of the wallet.

"Could this be the Genesis Wallet?" Zhang Yang muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

He dared not log in to check, because a blogger had analyzed in his previous life that Satoshi Nakamoto might have died before the rise of Bitcoin.

Imagine you own millions of Bitcoins. Over the decades, it has experienced countless booms and busts, even reaching prices of tens of thousands of dollars per coin. Do you think you could resist the urge to reduce your holdings?
It is obvious that as long as a person is alive and not detained, it is impossible for them not to reduce their holdings.

A 1% increase is tolerable.

A tenfold increase is tolerable.

Those who can resist selling even with a 100-fold increase in value are basically either already dead or imprisoned.

After a brief hesitation, Zhang Yang split the 64 key characters into 5 parts, stored them separately, and then completely deleted the email.

He didn't know what had happened to the "Satoshi Nakamoto team," but based on his previous experience with the plane crash, it was highly likely that they had met with some misfortune.

Zhang Yang is now unable to confront Jewish capital directly, and can only silently preserve his private key and pray that the "Satoshi Nakamoto team" is safe.

……

The next day, February 9th.

Yesterday's long doji candlestick pattern has caused many retail investors to worry that this rally might just be a rebound.

A long doji candlestick pattern can generally be interpreted as a signal of weakening buying power, because the appearance of a long doji candlestick pattern often indicates that funds are driving the index upward, but then encountering heavy selling pressure from above, forcing the index to choose a defensive stance.

A doji candlestick pattern indicates a stalemate where the bulls are unable to overcome the bears, and the bears are unable to break through the bulls' defenses. New capital inflows are needed to break this balance of power.

[Always Smiling]: Even the major positive news of the G20 finance ministers' meeting failed to break through the upper resistance level, indicating that this round of market movement is over.

[Heavy Snow in the South]: I feel the same way. Even with the world clearly continuing to "flood the market with liquidity," the stock market still couldn't break through 3000 points. I wonder if it will be able to break through in 10 years.

[Unwilling Fool]: 10 years from now is too exaggerated. The stock market is a barometer of the economy. Based on the current GDP growth rate, the size of China's economy in 10 years will easily be 60% or 70% of the current growth rate. The stock market reaching 6000 points is not a dream.

[The hotel's funeral]: Unless there's good news today, I expect a pullback.

Perhaps due to the realization of positive news, the A-share market experienced a moderate pullback in the morning session on September 8, hitting a low of 2832 points, a drop of 1.71%.

Institutions and speculative funds such as Xu Xiang, Su Jing, and Wang Yawei have chosen to take advantage of the market downturn to shake out weak hands in Shancheng Beer.

If a stock hits its daily limit up on the previous trading day, it's easy to shake out weak hands the next day. All you need to do is drive the price down to its daily limit down, which will flush out some of the arbitrage funds, panic funds, and trapped funds.

It is precisely because this strategy has proven effective time and again that some people have developed the "First Yin Strategy" to counter this kind of violent market manipulation.

With someone offering to fund the market correction, Liao Guopei and Lin Guangchang naturally didn't hold back, continuously accumulating shares in the relatively low price range.

It's worth noting that neither of them made large purchases; instead, they disguised themselves as "retail investors buying at the bottom" to avoid being detected by the market manipulators.

As the morning session drew to a close, they had already acquired over 60 shares at around 22.3 yuan, a process that was neither too fast nor too slow.

Perhaps driven by positive news, the Shanghai Composite Index saw a significant rise at the close of the morning session, with funds rushing into the market, narrowing the decline to less than 0.34%.

At 11:30, after the morning session closed, as expected, positive news emerged.

At noon, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Opinions on Several Issues Concerning Current Financial Measures to Promote Economic Development," which clearly stated that the growth target for broad money supply in 2009 was 17%, and most importantly, required financial institutions to increase new loans by more than 4 trillion yuan throughout the year.

In an instant.

The FTSE China A50 Index rose sharply.

[Sunny Doll]: It's stable! The A-shares market is stable this afternoon! I was wondering why there was such a frenzy of buying at the end of the trading day; it turns out it was insider trading!
[Soldier Falling into the Abyss]: Hahaha, I added to my position this morning! I'm a genius, I'm the Warren Buffett of China!!
[Call me Big Show Bro]: If you don't understand, just ask. What does this policy mean?

[Can we go back to the past?]: It's okay if you don't know how to interpret policy content, just go to Caiyan.com, they are known for their fast interpretation speed.

Just as retail investors have pointed out, within three minutes of the release of the document "Several Opinions on Current Financial Measures to Promote Economic Development," Zhang Yang, who was far away in Yanjing, had already provided his interpretation. Since he was a guest at Bao Xingwei's home, he could only send the general content of his interpretation to the website's financial editor via text message.

In recent years, Bao Xingwei has been recuperating in Yanjing. Since Zhang Yang is on a business trip to Yanjing, it is impossible for him not to visit him.

At that moment, at the entrance of the main house in a courtyard house, Zhang Yang finished sending the message, immediately put away his phone, and turned back into the house.

Bao Xingwei, who was sitting at the head of the table, did not touch his chopsticks. He looked at Zhang Yang as he returned and asked, "Is it about company matters?"

"Yes, there was a policy document just now. I interpreted it and had the website's financial editor post it," Zhang Yang replied truthfully.

"Oh, I see." Bao Xingwei suddenly realized, and then, as if remembering something, said, "Where were we? Oh right, we were talking about why you came to Yanjing, and you said you came to find Baidu."

“The company that came to acquire Baidu Finance, I exchanged 10% of Caiyan.com’s equity for 100% of Baidu Finance’s equity, which means that Baidu has invested in Caiyan.com,” Zhang Yang answered truthfully as always.

With Bao Xingwei's connections, it would be very easy for him to investigate; there was no need for him to lie.

"What are Caiyan.com's current shareholdings?" Bao Xingwei asked again.

Zhang Yang: "After the equity swap and dilution, Alibaba will have 4.5%, Baidu will have 10%, Xu Zhiruo will have 20.7%, I will personally hold 60.3% of the equity, and I will hold another 4.5% on behalf of others, for a total of 64.8% of the equity."

“64.8%, still enjoying absolute control.” Bao Xingwei nodded slightly, then thought of something and said, “I seem to have some impression of this Xu Zhiruo. How much did she invest? Her shareholding is up to 20.7%.”

"She provided the start-up capital."

"Seed wheel?"

"Well, I guess you could call it the seed round."

"So that's it."

Seed rounds are the riskiest of all funding rounds, falling into the category of "blind investment." Profits may not be realized even once out of ten attempts. This is why seed rounds require the most equity.

Bao Xingwei didn't ask any further questions, but instead told Zhang Yang, "Let's eat first. The food here is quite simple and light. See if it suits your taste."

"I'll try it."

Zhang Yang picked up a piece of pork and put it in his mouth.

Perhaps due to Bao Xingwei's age, the stir-fried vegetables and pork in this dish were rather bland, suggesting it was prepared with less oil and salt.

"The meat tastes like meat, and it's also infused with the freshness of the vegetable juice. You really know how to eat, Mr. Bao." After swallowing the food, Zhang Yangzhang said.

"Try this steamed pork with yam."

Bao Xingwei recommended it.

The steamed yam and pork he mentioned was actually steamed winter melon and yam with pork.

The method is to first mince the meat into a filling, add oyster sauce, soy sauce, starch, scallions and ginger water and mix, then mix in the yam and marinate, finally cut the winter melon into chunks and place them at the bottom, then spread the marinated yam and meat filling on top of the winter melon and steam for 20 minutes.

Zhang Yang scooped a spoonful of steamed yam and minced meat into his bowl, then put it into his mouth with chopsticks. He immediately praised it, saying, "The combination of yam and minced meat is amazing, and the fragrance of winter melon at the bottom is wonderful. Grandma Bao knows how to eat."

While praising it, he didn't forget to shovel two large mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

Seeing this, Bao Xingwei smiled and ruthlessly exposed, "These are just home-style dishes. Look at your exaggerated manner, anyone who doesn't know better would think you're eating imperial cuisine."

"Even the imperial cuisine couldn't compare to this."

Zhang Yang laughed.

Cheng Hongfa, standing to the side, glanced at him with disdain and muttered to himself, "He looked down on being Master Bao's apprentice back then, but now he's fawning over him. Has he been beaten down by society?"

In his view, Zhang Yang only realized the benefits of being Bao Xingwei's disciple after experiencing setbacks everywhere, and now he wants to turn back from his misguided path.

However, the reality was exactly the opposite of what Cheng Hongfa had thought. Zhang Yang had never regretted it. Even if he had to do it all over again, he would still choose to become a speculative investor and take the financial and commercial route.

While a career in government is desirable, it's not the life Zhang Yang desires. He prefers challenges and excitement to a stable life.

As for respecting Bao Xingwei, besides the fact that he disregarded past grievances and helped him out of a sense of justice, he is also the Dean of Finance at Zhangyang University. For both personal and professional reasons, Zhangyang University should respect him.

Bao Xingwei and Zhang Yang chatted idly, and the food ended up in their stomachs during their conversation.

After putting down their bowls and chopsticks, Bao Xingwei asked again, "With Caiyan.com developing so rapidly, it seems only a matter of time before it becomes the industry leader. What do you want to do in the future?"

"The future is uncertain, but as far as Caiyan.com is concerned, I would like to continue to work in the field of internet finance."

Zhang Yang responded.

When the phrase "Internet finance sector" was mentioned, Bao Xingwei seemed to realize something and hinted, "Internet finance does indeed have high potential. If we develop it well and maintain our leading position, there might be surprises in the future."

As a retired senior member of the national financial think tank, he was well aware that some people in his former unit had proposed to relax the "Internet Fund Sales License" and allow leading financial websites to serve as pilot platforms.

Opening up online fund sales and breaking the monopoly of banks and securities companies can not only maximize the number of fund subscribers, but also provide corresponding tax revenue, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop.

However, what Bao Xingwei didn't know was that Zhang Yang already knew that fund subscription channels were going to be opened up. But he caught the key words in Bao Xingwei's words: to maintain the leading advantage in the industry.

If nothing unexpected happens, the government will definitely conduct pilot programs at the top level. Only when the pilot platforms show positive feedback will the program be fully opened up.

"OK."

Zhang Yang smiled and replied.

……

At 1 p.m., driven by the document "Several Opinions on Current Financial Measures to Promote Economic Development", A-shares experienced a V-shaped reversal. The Shanghai Composite Index surged from 2832 points to 2870 points, and then broke through the 2900-point mark half an hour later, giving retail investors great confidence.

Not only A-shares, but Hong Kong stocks also received positive news. At 1:40 pm, the Ministry of Finance and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region issued a joint announcement that RMB 6 billion in Chinese government bonds will be issued on September 28 for individual and institutional investors.

Upon learning the news, Zhang Yang immediately sent his interpretation to the financial editors again, asking them to publish the announcement on his behalf.

The triple strategic significance of the 60 billion yuan national debt…

1. Consolidate Hong Kong Island's status as an international financial center, enrich the variety of offshore RMB bonds, and attract global capital participation.

2. Promote the internationalization of the Chinese Yuan, provide settlement currency options for neighboring countries, and strengthen regional financial influence.

3. Establish a pricing benchmark to provide a reference for mainland institutions to issue bonds in Hong Kong and help expand the Hong Kong dollar bond market.

4. In response to the G20 finance ministers' meeting, further relax investment restrictions in the financial sector to promote financial synergy between the two regions.
The moment the interpretation was released, a large amount of capital began to flow south for investment.

[Stock Market Gold Rush]: I finally understand what Teacher Da Xiao meant when he said that saving Hong Kong Island first and then the mainland means that Hong Kong stocks will rise first, and then the mainland market will follow.

[Stupid Fish Flies First]: Although 60 billion is not a lot, does this move indicate that the authorities are gradually loosening financial controls?

[Cola without ice]: Financial regulation is still necessary, but let's make it a bit more relaxed. I'm not going to say anything more, I'll buy some Hong Kong stocks and we'll talk later.

[Fishing Guy]: A-shares and Hong Kong stocks are both surging! Wow, this is a rare sight since the global financial system collapsed in 2007. I have to take a screenshot; it might become a collector's item.

The bond issuance plan and the expectation of mainland funds flowing south have resonated, driving the continued strength of Hong Kong's financial and real estate sectors. The Hang Seng Index has now reached 21070 points, up 2.14%, significantly outperforming other Asia-Pacific markets.

As 3 p.m. approached, the two major A-share indices closed.

The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 2930.48 points, up 1.71%, with a trading volume of 1486 billion yuan, an increase of 20 billion yuan compared to the previous trading day.

The Shenzhen Component Index closed up 2.47% at 11923.34 points, with a trading volume of 779 billion yuan, an increase of 50 billion yuan.

After six consecutive days of gains, A-shares seem to have shaken off the liquidity crisis caused by IPOs and regained their vitality.

Witnessing this, Li Daxiao couldn't wait to start "raising cattle" in order to change his previous reputation and public image.

[Hello everyone, today is Tuesday, September 8, 2009. I am Li Daxiao. On this beautiful afternoon, our A-shares also closed with a particularly strong positive line. The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 2930.48 points, showing a strong upward trend of six consecutive days, and is only one step away from 3000 points.]

Those familiar with history should know that the story of Cao Gui's discussion of war in the *Zuo Zhuan* (Commentary of Zuo) records the insightful observation that "one should press on with one's momentum, then weaken with each attempt, and exhaust oneself with the third." We, the stock market investors, must also seize this opportunity and not let the bull market escape. We will definitely win the battle to break through 3000 points!
The proposal of a "counter-attack bull market" has once again caused an uproar online, with countless retail investors giving it a thumbs up and leaving comments in the video's comment section.

[Little Meow Can't Meow]: Is the bull market finally here? Add to your position! Add to your position! Add to your position! I'm going to go all out on this bull market in A-shares!
[Three copper coins]: Now that Li Daxiao has come out, I have a bad feeling. I hope he's not a bear in disguise tomorrow.

[Classroom after the rain]: I made a fortune today. Who understands the joy of going all in with 100 million? If it hits the daily limit for 10 consecutive days, I'll immediately go to Dongguan City in Guangdong and disappear without a trace, hahaha!

[She said the child is genetically modified]: No way, is Li Daxiao, that charlatan, up and about again? Have you forgotten the day he comforted retail investors from 3478 points down to 2639?
[Chunxi Road Lolita]: Am I the only one who thinks Teacher Da Xiao is so charming? I want to have something happen between us.

The divergence in retail investor opinions indicates that Li Daxiao's reputation is gradually collapsing.

In order to maintain his public image and, incidentally, better deceive new stock market investors, Li Daxiao unusually chose to control public opinion.

Just as Li Daxiao was shouting "counter-attack bull" across the internet, Zhang Yang also posted his bullish post on the Joker Speculative Capital Channel.

[The Shanghai Composite Index closed up 2930 points today, successfully breaking through the resistance level from August 28th. The next resistance level is 3046 points from August 17th, when it gapped down to 2994 points. Currently, the A-share market has strong upward momentum, so pay close attention to changes in trading volume. A significant increase or decrease in volume could be a signal of a market reversal.]
During a downtrend, various resistance levels will form.

For example, if a stock gaps down at the open, retail investors won't have time to reduce or liquidate their positions, and their funds will become trapped, waiting for an opportunity to break even.

According to the psychological expectations of trapped funds, as long as the stock price reaches the break-even point, some funds will choose to sell, even if they don't make any profit.

To understand resistance levels, you must first understand the mindset of those who are trapped in losing positions. Only by understanding the mindset of those trapped positions can you avoid the risk of a pullback caused by resistance levels.

Unlike Li Daxiao, who was questioned, Zhang Yang had already won the trust of a large number of retail investors by predicting a complete stock price trend, and at this time the public opinion in the post was overwhelmingly in favor of him.

[Fuchen Jianhui Ge]: The resistance level theory? I understand now, the stock price fell today because it reached the resistance level, right?

[Skilled Crab Fishing Player]: My thoughts are the same as Joker's. The gap down from 3046 to 2994 points has trapped a large number of retail investors. Once it reaches that level, I suggest reducing your position and observing.

[Charming Night Scene]: Joker didn't mention a liquidity crisis, so it seems the crisis has been resolved. My heart is finally at ease.

[Surrender Big Dumb]: Thank you Joker for your guidance. When I become a big fan, I will donate 1000 million to Caiyan.com!
……

Over the next three days, the A-share market seemed to heed Li Daxiao's call and staged a "last-ditch counterattack." During the trading session on Friday, September 11, the Shanghai Composite Index reached a high of 2999.3 points, just one step away from breaking through 3000 points, and finally closed at 2989.79 points, a gain of 2.22%.

With four days of gains and one day of losses in a week, the strong surge that nearly reached 3000 points turned the "battle to defend 3000 points" into a "battle to seize 3000 points," attracting a lot of media attention and fueling the rising sentiment of retail investors.

During these three days, Liao Guopei and Lin Guangchang, who were stationed at the headquarters of the "Liu Guan Zhang gang", accumulated 408 million shares of Shancheng Beer in four days, bringing their total holdings to 1271.9 million shares.

The purchase details for the five days this week are...

On September 7th, through day trading and accumulation, a total of 101.9 million shares were purchased, bringing the total holdings to 803.9 million shares. The average holding cost was 21.6 yuan, and the available funds were 9.9752 million yuan.

On September 9th, 300,000 shares were purchased at an average price of 24.78 yuan, bringing the total holdings to 969.9 million shares with an average cost of 22.14 yuan. The remaining available funds were 9.5639 million yuan.

On September 9th, 300,000 shares were purchased at an average price of 28.31 yuan, bringing the total holdings to 999.9 million shares with an average cost of 22.32 yuan. The remaining available funds were 9.479 million yuan.

The reason why only 30 shares were bought on Wednesday the 9th was because Shancheng Beer kept opening at the daily limit, and Liao Guopei and Lin Guangchang could only accumulate shares at the daily limit.

However, on the 10th and 11th, Shancheng Beer experienced consecutive limit-up and limit-down days, allowing them to acquire 212 million shares of Shancheng Beer at an average purchase price of 32.76 yuan, bringing their total holdings to 1211.9 million shares with an average holding cost of 24.15 yuan. Their remaining available funds amounted to 8.7845 million yuan.

As of the closing bell on September 11, Shancheng Beer's stock price had reached 34.25 yuan, marking five consecutive days of limit-up gains.

Because of the fluctuating price movements, many retail investors were shaken out of Shancheng Beer shares, leading to a more concentrated distribution of shares.

Based on the current profits of the 1211.9 million shares held by the "Liu, Guan and Zhang gang," each share yields a profit of 10.1 yuan, resulting in a total profit of 1.224 million yuan.

As the overall capital size increases, profits will also increase accordingly.

This is why all capitalists emphasize the importance of primitive accumulation.

A 10% increase in 100 yuan is not the same as a 10% increase in 100 million yuan; they are not even on the same level.

However, capital will not allow people to easily accumulate wealth; it will set various traps to deplete the funds in the hands of ordinary people.

While Liao Guopei and Lin Guangchang were accumulating shares, Zhang Yang was not idle either. He first accompanied Bao Xingwei to an economic forum to continue to make his name known in the financial circle.

Following that, Zhang Yang went to the Asset Management Association of China to register the 4.4 million yuan raised by "Shengtian Investment" from other LPs.

Currently, Shengtian Investment has a total of 5 people besides Zhang Yang. Two of them are responsible for the company's finance and administration, respectively. The other three are the general partners, one of whom has more than 5 years of experience in equity investment or related industry management, and two compliance and risk control officers, which just meets the minimum requirement of 5 people.

If it weren't for the Asset Management Association of China's explicit rule that fund managers need more than 5 employees to register, Zhang Yang wouldn't have wanted to hire any employees. After all, as a reborn person, he has an information advantage and knows which companies can stand out.

It is worth mentioning that the 4.4 million yuan raised from LPs such as Liu Hua, Shenzhen Capital Group, Ma Junhui, and Gong Xu was simply not enough.

Zhang Yang's original plan was to raise around 10 billion yuan, inject capital into the entire upstream supply chain of domestic smartphones, and then negotiate with Samsung Group and Sharp for exclusive distribution rights for OLED and LCD screens in China.

In 2009, for upstream components of smartphones, such as batteries, radio frequency antennas, speakers, and cameras, there were basically one or two domestic alternative companies. For example, for lithium batteries, there were Feimaotui and Desay Battery. However, for mobile phone display screens, China was still in the process of overcoming the challenges.

Although BOE acquired the complete fifth-generation line technology and patents by acquiring Hyundai Display Technology Co., Ltd. of South Korea in 2003, it was to focus on TV panels, not mobile phone LCD screens.

Not only BOE, but also leading display panel companies such as Rainbow Group and TCL Group did not realize that smartphones would drive the prosperity of the display panel industry and become the focus of their future business.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Yang stared at the schedule and muttered to himself, "Let's contact Samsung and Sharp first. As for the money, we can cover some of it after we finish this job with Shancheng Beer."

His obsession with investing in upstream smartphone companies stems not only from his desire to use them to control domestic phone pricing, but also from his ambition to leverage smartphone manufacturers and further control the mobile financial market.

As for the progress of the merger between Caiyan.com and Baidu Finance, Xu Zhirou is following up on it, and neither party has made any public announcement yet.

……

And on the other side.

Shanghai Old Restaurant.

Its address is No. 242 Fuyou Road. As the birthplace of Shanghai cuisine, its signature Eight Treasure Duck is not only tender and juicy with a rich sauce, but it has also been listed as a Shanghai intangible cultural heritage and is very popular for business banquets.

Inside the private room, Lin Weiguo, sporting a receding hairline and wearing a light blue shirt, scanned the twenty-odd fund managers present, finally fixing his gaze on Tao Yuang beside him.

This time, Tao Yuang no longer sat on the edge, but sat next to Lin Weiguo, making him the undisputed "protagonist" of the dinner.

"Cough-cough-"

Lin Weiguo cleared his throat and looked at Tao Yuang beside him, saying, "Before we start eating, I have an announcement to make. After evaluation by myself and my superiors, Yuang meets the criteria for being promoted by Huaxia Fund, both in terms of business capabilities and fundraising ability. Starting next week, he will be the lead manager for Huaxia's medical field. Let's give him a round of applause."

"Clap clap-"

"Clap clap-"

Inside the private room, thunderous applause erupted.

The fund managers all wore insincere smiles as they congratulated Tao Yuang.

"As expected of Manager Tao, I still remember when he first joined our China Asset Management, he broke the record for the fastest fundraising, which was a full 20 ​​billion Chinese yuan!"

"I'd like to toast Manager Tao. I hope you'll give me a good talking-to in the future."

"Congratulations, Manager Tao, congratulations!"

"He's handsome and talented, it's just a pity he got married so young, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to resist him."

"Hahaha!"

Some offered congratulations, some joked, and some half-jokingly expressed their love.

However, having experienced the lows, Tao Yuang knew very well that these people were saying things against their conscience, and that they were only after his own interests.

Some time ago, his medical fund was facing a change of leadership, but no one stepped forward to say that they could use their own funds to boost the fund's performance and artificially inflate Tao Yuang's returns.

The workplace is realistic, and the financial workplace is even more realistic and cruel.

He Jing, sitting to the side, was also clapping. She really didn't expect that Zhang Yang could actually help Tao Yuang turn the tide and bring the returns of public funds back to the leading level among similar funds.

"Today's achievements are inseparable from the cultivation of Manager Lin and the company. Yu'ang will never forget it. This glass is for Manager Lin."

Tao Yuang wore a smile, as if he had forgotten who had asked him to engage in the transfer of benefits, which led to him being targeted by Ou Guiyan.

It's worth mentioning that Ou Guiyan had been treating Tao Yuang to Lao Yanjing Douzhi for so long, and Tao Yuang, who had a handle on her private matters and was also a shield for her performance, also let her eat Harbin red sausage. The two exchanged local specialties from their hometowns.

After one drink, there was another. At the departmental team-building dinner near the weekend, Tao Yuang became the absolute focus among the Huaxia Fund managers.

As for Qi Zhenbang, who had a grudge against Tao Yuang, he excused himself from the team-building dinner, citing feeling unwell.

As the dinner party was ending, Wang Yawei, the top executive at China Asset Management, approached He Jing and struck up a conversation, saying, "Manager He, are you free this weekend? Would you like to go see a movie together?"

"I'm sorry, I'll be busy with mutual fund matters this weekend," He Jing politely declined.

“I have a definite target that I guarantee will make you stand out among this year’s fund managers and get top-tier resources. If you’re not going to the movies, we can find a place to sit down and chat.” Wang Yawei was still not giving up.

Ever since he learned that He Jing's backer was Bao Xingwei, his desire to advance his career has grown stronger. After all, the other party is a retired senior member of the national think tank. If he could establish a connection with him, even a single piece of inside information would be a major bombshell.

Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious, and He Jing, being no naive girl, knew exactly what the other person was thinking. She simply refused, saying, "No need, focusing on real estate is fine."

"Don't you want to know about the top speculative stock of 2009? You'll regret it if you miss out!"

Wang Yawei emphasized his words, and specifically stressed that it was the "demon stock" of 2009.

After a brief moment of thought, He Jing suddenly asked, "Shancheng Beer?"

"!!!"

Wang Yawei was startled and lowered his voice, asking, "You were a participant too?"

He Jing didn't know what Wang Yawei meant by "participant," but she knew very well that "Fuchun Road" was also involved in the development of Shancheng Beer.
