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

Chapter 237 The "eating noodles" meme goes viral, and Mr. J's information is thoroughly investigated by an organization.

In just half an hour, the number of replies to the noodle-eating post exceeded 10,000, with a large number of retail investors joining in with a bowl of noodles in the comments section.

Some people are eating instant noodles.

Someone is eating ramen.

Some people are eating noodles.

Some people are eating noodles.

"If you have noodles, eat noodles; if you don't have noodles, eat rice noodles; if you have neither noodles nor rice noodles, just eat a stick of rice noodles." With numerous comments from individual users, the "eating noodles" meme has become a viral sensation.

Li Daxiao, known as "the cattle farmer," has become increasingly active on the internet due to his accurate prediction of this round of index increases. When his "eating noodles" meme went viral and topped the Weibo hot search list, he immediately posted a blog post with a picture of himself eating ramen at a small restaurant.

Comrades, on this not-so-beautiful evening, I would like to share some sincere words with you for your reference only. Since the beginning of 2009, when the bull market started, I have been emphasizing that you should buy good stocks, be a good person, and you will be rewarded. Investing is not gambling, but it is only one step away from gambling.

The stock market is about going up and down, just like gambling is about winning or losing; they're related. But investing differs from gambling in that if you lose at gambling, you lose everything. However, if you make a mistake in investing, as long as you hold quality stocks, you can win over time. This is why you should always use spare money for investing. May all investors buy good stocks, be good people, and receive good rewards. [This is a blessing from Teacher Da Xiao!]
As soon as the Weibo post was published, the number of likes skyrocketed at a visible speed, and a large number of netizens left comments in the comment section.

[Unlucky Kid]: It's rare for Teacher Da Xiao not to be involved in the cattle market, but to be fair, the harvest of Shancheng Beer this time was really ruthless. It was pulled up from 16 yuan to 75 yuan, and then fell all the way down from 75 yuan to 40 yuan. Retail investors who bought at the top may not be able to break even for the next 10 years.

[Breaking through the bare walls with two fists]: I had a cost basis of 73 and was stuck with 5 yuan. I was planning to use it for a down payment on a house, but I'll just leave it there. The beer company shouldn't go bankrupt. I'll buy more shares when I get paid in the future. I'll treat it as a long-term investment.

[Past Events]: The simplest way is the best. If you use full position, half position and empty position well, making money in A-shares is not difficult. I bought Shancheng Beer at 75 yuan and added to my position at 40 yuan. As long as it dares to return to 20 yuan, I will continue to add to my position because the Chinese economy has shown signs of recovery. As long as the macro economy is good, everyone will go out to consume and eat barbecue, and the performance of beer stocks will naturally go up.

[Lonely Wolf]: I'm from western Guangdong, and I don't usually eat noodles at night. But as a stock investor who's lost 2 yuan, I decided to go to a snail rice noodle shop and ask the owner to make me a special bowl of snail rice noodles with the noodles.

Countless retail investors have been trapped in this round of hepatitis B vaccine concept stocks, with those who bought "miscellaneous concept stocks" suffering the heaviest losses.

Take Shancheng Beer as an example. Its price rose from 16 yuan to 75 yuan. Whether you bought in at 16 yuan, 30 yuan, or 40 yuan, these retail investors did not lose money and even made a small profit.

Even after six consecutive days of limit-up trading followed by a decline, some people still make money; that's the advantage of leading stocks.

In contrast, Dalian Refrigeration Co., Ltd. is a company that focuses on cold chain transportation. It can be considered a downstream stock of curative hepatitis B vaccine, since vaccines require cold chain transportation.

Here comes the point!

Stocks that merely ride on a concept without possessing a unique designation are collectively referred to as "concept-hybrid stocks."

Dalian Refrigeration Co., Ltd. only rose by less than 20% during this round of speculation on curative hepatitis B vaccines, but after Jiachen Biotechnology's scandal, it fell by 35% in six trading days, and retail investors who speculated on related concepts were basically wiped out.

There are still profitable positions.

A stock with only trapped shares.

This is the difference between a top-quality product and a low-quality product.

After this round of collective plunge in concept stocks, many veteran and new investors have begun to learn from the experience and heed Li Daxiao's advice: buy good stocks, be a good person, and you will be rewarded.

As a staunch value investor in the A-share market, Li Daxiao's stock-buying logic is based on the medium to long term and is not applicable to short-term trading.

Many retail investors apply the logic of medium- to long-term trading to short-term stocks, often resulting in huge losses and financial ruin.

What is the medium-to-long-term logic?

To put it simply, the country will vigorously develop certain sectors over the next five years, and the so-called "good stocks" are the most outstanding individual stocks in those sectors.

Many retail investors mistakenly identify "oddball" stocks as good stocks, hold them until they are delisted, ultimately because they made a mistake in stock selection.

……

While the individual investors were eating noodles together, Zhang Yang, along with a group of brothers and employees, booked out the Dragon and Phoenix Hall at the Peace Hotel.

A table of dishes originally priced at 10 yuan was negotiated down to 7 yuan, and a total of 40 tables were set up, costing over 280 million yuan.

Is this a celebration of reaping profits from retail investors?

Not also!

Who would dare to celebrate so ostentatiously after reaping profits from retail investors?

Being so high-profile makes you an easy target!

Zhang Yang booked the entire venue to treat everyone because Caiyan.com's registered users had exceeded 500 million, far surpassing the year-end target.

Zhang Yang isn't one to make empty promises; there will be year-end bonuses, performance bonuses, and he'll treat his employees to meals as well.

As the CEO of Caiyan.com, Xu Zhirou, dressed in a black midi skirt and a white shirt, with a clean and neat image, is giving a speech on stage: "Tonight we are gathered in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall. The decision was made by President Zhang. Let's give him a round of applause to thank him for his generous spending."

"Clap clap-"

All of a sudden.

Thunderous applause erupted and continued unabated.

All the employees looked at Zhang Yang, sincerely admiring this behind-the-scenes boss.

The Peace Hotel is a high-end restaurant that ordinary employees simply cannot afford, let alone a table costing 10 yuan.

Other bosses are stingy and practically squeeze every last drop of juice from their employees.

But can it be flamboyant?

He can treat people to meals costing millions without hesitation.

From an employee's perspective, Zhang Yang is definitely an excellent and trustworthy boss.

But in Zhang Yang's view, spending less than 300 million yuan was enough to win people's hearts and inspire the employees' fighting spirit, so the money was well spent.

Caiyan.com has now surpassed 500 million registered users, and advertising revenue, research report revenue, and membership revenue will all increase accordingly. In this vigorous growth phase of the company, what is needed is for employees to put in 150% more effort in the future.

Zhang Yang stood up, bowed slightly to the employees around him, and then gestured for them to focus their attention back on Xu Zhirou.

When everyone's attention returned to Xu Zhirou, she slowly said, "When the number 5000000 was frozen in the background, I knew that it was not just a cold number, but also the convergence of 5000000 trusts."

"Here, I would like to pay tribute to all my colleagues at Caiyan.com. This achievement stems from the editorial team's ultimate pursuit of professionalism, independence, and reliability. Thank you for always upholding an independent stance, sifting through thousands of pieces of information, and using your proprietary methodology to polish every analysis report, ensuring the objectivity and depth of the output content."

"I would also like to thank the technical team for working day and night to transform complex financial data into intuitive analytical tools, making professional services readily available. I would also like to thank the operations and service team, the review team, and the cybersecurity team for their silent dedication behind the scenes, which has built a bridge of trust for user needs. Thank you very much."

Xu Zhirou bowed in gratitude.

"Clap clap-"

The Dragon and Phoenix Hall was filled with applause, and while the entire staff of Caiyan.com clapped, they were also whispering among themselves.

"Fortunately, I made the right choice. I had already received an offer from NetEase Finance, but they were in a slump, so I didn't go. I was thinking of applying to Sina Finance or Tencent Finance, but I ended up at Caiyan.com by chance."

"My journey wasn't as complicated as yours, haha. Mr. Zhang is my junior brother; he personally recruited me."

"Before joining Caiyan.com, I was a lowly manager in a securities brokerage. I had to attract new customers every day, and it was a real headache."

"Me too."

"me too."

Many people initially joined Caiyan.com with a try-it-out attitude, after all, it was a small startup.

But as the website achieved some success and their monthly salaries increased, they worked even harder.

Working is for making money, for cash. The best way to motivate employees is to give them more money.

Because they understand this, financial editors who earned 6000 yuan a month in June now earn 7000 yuan a month, an increase of 16.67%.

Even the salary of cleaning ladies was raised to 3000 yuan, which was definitely a high salary in 2009.

After Xu Zhirou straightened up, she looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Let's give a round of applause to Zhang Yang, the founder of Caiyan.com, to come up on stage and hear his plans for the future development of Caiyan.com."

"Clap clap-"

This time, the applause erupted like thunder in spring.

After all, it was a welcome back to their own boss. Executives like Zhang Yang, Xu Zhirou, Yang Wei, and Tang Yuanhang might not know who clapped, but it was obvious who didn't.

Putting aside the fact that there was senior management oversight, just the fact that Zhang Yang made the decision to treat all employees, including those from sister companies, to dinner is worthy of applause.

Zhang Yang stood up, walked calmly onto the stage, took the microphone from Xu Zhirou, and looked at all the employees, saying, "To be honest, the fact that Caiyan.com was able to break through 500 million registered users in such a short time far exceeded my expectations. I didn't even have time to prepare a draft."

"Clap clap-"

Applause erupted again in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall.

Zhang Yang gestured for silence, then continued, "Although I didn't prepare a speech, the future plans of Caiyan.com will always revolve around two words: professionalism!"

Without pausing, he continued, "Professionalism is our weapon in competing with other websites like Eastmoney, iFinD, and Sina Finance. We need to be professional in every aspect, including content output, reviewing violations, operating the website, distributing traffic, and cybersecurity."

While Zhang Yang was speaking on stage, Liao Guopei, sitting at a dining table against the wall in the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, couldn't help but sigh, "With 500 million registered users, if each user spends one yuan a day, wouldn't Joker earn 500 million yuan a day?"

"Great, easy money."

Lin Guangchang cast an envious glance at him.

He hesitated for a long time about whether to resign from his state-owned enterprise because he knew that stock market returns were very unstable and he was afraid of not having a stable source of income.

Stock trading income is highly dependent on market conditions. You might earn 10 this month, but only 5 next month, or even lose 20 the month after that.

Fortunately, with Zhang Yang's "guidance," he was able to take the step of resigning.

Besides Liao Guopei and Lin Guangchang, the table also included two public fund managers, Tao Yuang and He Jing, as well as Xiong Yufeng, Wang Liu, and Chen Chuan from Shengtian Think Tank. Graduates from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics made up half of the table.

"I really envy Junior Brother Zhang. He reached the pinnacle of his life at the age of 22. Thinking back to when I was 22, I was still working as a junior assistant at Huaxin Securities."

Tao Yuang made a self-deprecating remark.

Knowing Zhang Yang's dual identity, he found it difficult to feel jealousy.

People might feel jealous of each other if they are not too far apart, but if they are worlds apart, all that's left is admiration.

From Tao Yuang's perspective, Zhang Yang turned 20 yuan into hundreds of millions of yuan in less than six months and turned Caiyan.com into a top-tier company in the industry. Tao Yuang thought that he could not match Zhang Yang's speed, and even if he were given a rocket, he might not be able to catch up with him.

"The dorm leader is really awesome."

Wang Liu echoed.

Chen Chuan took a sip of his drink and said casually, "When I first entered university, I knew that my dorm leader had a bright future. Sticking close to him was much better than blindly working hard like everyone else."

If you're going in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be in vain. He's the kind of person who finds the right direction first, and then puts in the effort.

In retrospect, he made the right choice. Zhang Yang's leg is indeed thick and hard, and it feels really good to hug him.

Sitting next to Wang Liu, Xiong Yufeng quietly watched Zhang Yang. As a top intelligence gathering talent that Zhang Yang had spent millions to recruit, he was very good at discerning the slightest clues.

He couldn't think of any benefit that bribing Li Xiangwen, a former employee of Jiachen Biotechnology, to expose the fake synthetic peptide vaccine would bring to Caiyan.com. The only explanation was that Zhang Yang was not as simple as he appeared.

As Zhang Yang's bedmate, He Jing not only knew that Zhang Yang was Fuchun Road, but also knew what role he played in Shancheng Beer. Although she didn't know how much money that man made, it was definitely no less than nine figures.

Everyone at the table had their own understanding and information about Zhang Yang, but none of them checked their information against each other.

……

And at the same time.

the other side.

Shanghai World Financial Center Tower.

Chaos Investment Meeting Room.

Managers from various institutions, including Ge Weidong, Xu Xiang, He Zhen, Chen Shan, Wang Yawei, and Chang Shishan, gathered again. They never imagined that they would be trapped so badly, unable to get out even after six consecutive limit-up days.

With an anchor price of 62.43 and a current price of 40.14 yuan, the price difference between Chaos Investment and "Mr. J" in their bet has now reached 22.29 yuan, which translates to 6.687 million yuan for 3000 million shares.

Because of the huge loss, Ge Weidong couldn't swallow his anger and had been investigating the identity of "Mr. J" all this time.

Seeing everyone arrive at the conference room, Ge Weidong said in a deep voice: "Through the 'Shadowless Kick' connection, I had a friend at a securities company check the other party's account opening information and view his latest transaction statement. Mr. J may not be an individual, but an organization. The members of this organization include that rising star in the speculative capital world recently—the evil manipulator Fuchun Road."

"Fuchun Road?"

"Is Mr. J connected to Fuchun Road?"

"There's something going on about Fuchun Road?"

The managers were all taken aback, and Xu Xiang was even more surprised, asking, "Does his transaction record overlap with the hype surrounding Fuchun Road?"

"actually!"

At this time, Chang Shishan of Shitong Private Equity also revealed the information he had found: "On the trading day that Shancheng Beer went bust, I checked the top three selling brokerage firms on the daily trading list. I have a good friend at GF Securities, and he told me that the individual who opened the account was Zhang Yang."

"Zhang Yang???"

"Which one is more flamboyant?"

"Could it be that guy from the financial research website?"

Managers Xu Xiang, Ge Weidong, He Zhen, and Wang Yawei all looked surprised, but soon, Wang Yawei, who had recovered his composure, said, "Zhang Yang seems to be very familiar with a female manager from Huaxia Fund. The two attended the exchange forum in Lujiazui together, and at a department gathering in September, she accurately mentioned Shancheng Beer."

"Be more specific."

Ge Weidong frowned deeply.

He thought his discovery that "Fuchun Road" might be connected to Mr. J was already big news, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yang would be dragged into this as well. Who is Zhang Yang?

The owner of Caiyan.com.

Not only did he secure investment from Alibaba, but he also integrated Baidu Finance and even got Bao Xingwei to publicly endorse him, making him a hot figure in the financial world recently.

Wang Yawei didn't hide anything and told everyone about his desire to woo He Jing and climb the social ladder by marrying Bao Xingwei.

The others didn't think anything was wrong after hearing this. How many people in the finance industry are truly innocent?

Maintaining a stable home life while having affairs is a common practice among finance professionals.

"So that means they started plotting this as early as September?"

He Zhen frowned. He was always the one setting traps for others; this was the first time someone had set a trap for him and successfully left him hanging on the mountaintop.

"It may not be September, it could be earlier. I even suspect that someone inside Jiachen Bio or Shancheng Beer is cooperating with them."

Chen Shan speculated on this.

Seeing that everyone was providing information, Xu Xiang also shared what he knew: "Speaking of the speculative investor Fuchun Road, my people found out that he has a connection with Liu Hua of Hongyue Group. It's even possible that Fuchun Road is his front man."

"Liu Hua?"

"White gloves?"

"Hongyue Investment was also involved?"

Ge Weidong, Chang Shishan, Wang Yawei, and the others were suddenly shocked; the power that had hung them on the mountaintop far exceeded their expectations.

After reviewing the available intelligence, Ge Weidong summarized: "In other words, besides Chancheng Shadowless Kick and Mr. J, people connected to them include Fuchun Road, He Jing, Zhang Yang, Liu Hua..."

"There's also Tao Yuang of China Asset Management. If it's confirmed that he's connected to Fuchun Road, Tao Yuang was very suspicious because he bought shares in Haitong Foods despite violating regulations and risking offending other institutional managers."

Chen Shan then mentioned another name.

"If I remember correctly, Tao Yuang, Zhang Yang, and He Jing are all students of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. As the dean of the School of Finance at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, could Bao Xingwei have also been involved?"

Xu Xiang then chimed in.

Now they seem to have grasped the root of the problem, digging out more and more people, and even eventually speculating, based on the shareholding of Caiyan.com, that Alibaba, Baidu, and Xu Yan'an were all involved.

When all the clues and people came together, they finally got a list.

"Zen City Shadowless Kick, Stock Speculator to Support the Family, Fuchun Road, Zhang Yang, He Jing, Tao Yuang, Bao Xingwei, Cao Fengqi, Li Yining, Ma Yun, Li Yanhong, Liu Hua, Xu Yan'an..."

When Ge Weidong read out the list, they finally realized just how terrifying "Mr. J" really was; this was a mysterious organization.

There are many non-governmental organizations in China, such as the Taishan Association, the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, the Jiangnan Association, the Huaxia Alumni Association, and the Big D Association.

These are still verifiable; as for the unverifiable ones, nobody knows how many there are.

"No wonder the Shadowless Kick can only run errands; it turns out the power behind him is so deep."

Chang Shishan whispered.

"So what should we do now?" He Zhen looked at the others in confusion. He couldn't afford to offend these people at all. Even if they were powerful institutions, he could only suffer in silence. After all, the known information also involved Bao Xingwei, Cao Fengqi, and Li Yining, three builders in China's financial field.

"This is just our speculation, it may not be true. I suggest we dig deeper." Ge Weidong couldn't swallow this insult and wanted to uncover more about the organization's inner workings.

"Who should we investigate further?"

Xu Xiang has already considered backing out.

Although he was furious about being hung on the mountaintop by "Mr. J", things had already developed far beyond his control.

He initially thought "Fuchun Road" was Liu Hua's front man, but now it seems that behind "Fuchun Road" are not only Liu Hua, but also Zhang Yang, Ma Yun, Li Yanhong, Bao Xingwei...

"Tao Yuang, or rather He Jing, based on the current information, they are the easiest targets. Even if we have to swallow our pride this time, I still want to know who we lost to," Ge Weidong whispered.

“I know both Tao Yuang and He Jing. Tao Yuang’s medical fund had been losing money, but recently it has inexplicably started to make a lot of profits. From what I know of him, he is a sophisticated egoist. If you give him a little money, or even a celebrity or a beautiful woman, you might be able to get him to talk,” Wang Yawei whispered.

Where is He Jing?

someone asked.

Wang Yawei glanced at the man, shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this woman, but there have been rumors at Huaxia Fund that she will change jobs after two years of training. Now, combined with the information we've uncovered, it's very likely to be true. I suggest we try to recruit her from Tao Yuang."

Is Tao Yuang's fund the "Huaxia Healthcare Value Hybrid Fund A"?

At this moment, Li Xuli, the private equity manager of Xin Chongyang who had not spoken for a long time, looked up and asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Wang Yawei was puzzled.

Li Xuli habitually took out his cigarette case, but remembering that they were still discussing business, he silently put it back in his pocket and said, "Asking of the Minfu Brotherhood bought all of Haitong Foods' chips through an agreement transfer. Perhaps Asking and Mr. J are also related."

"Asking?"

Xu Xiang paused for half a second, then suddenly realized and said, "I understand!"

"???"

"???"

"???"

Everyone turned to look at Xu Xiang.

Ge Weidong: "What do you know?"

“Yeah, what do you know?” Wang Yawei chimed in.

Without hesitation, Xu Xiang deduced, "Asking, A, joker, ace, Mr. J, J, this mysterious organization may have members named after the positions of playing cards."

"So that means that behind Mr. J, there are Mr. Q and Mr. K, or even Mr. or Ms. 123456789?" Ge Weidong deduced from Xu Xiang's words.

Before Xu Xiang could speak, Wang Yawei slammed his hand on the table and confirmed, "That's right! That must be it!"

He added as soon as he finished speaking, "I was wondering why Zhang Yang chose the English name 'Clown' for himself. Turns out it's not 'Clown,' but 'Ace of Spades' in playing cards."

"The Joker has always been the trump card, but many people are used to calling it wrong. The real Joker is the Clown, the Jester, or the Buffoon, but definitely not the Joker, because the word Joker has always referred to the King of Spades in poker."

Chang Shishan whispered.

"No wonder Zhang Yang was able to secure a 5000 million yuan investment from Alibaba right after graduation and integrate Baidu Finance. I heard he recently established a VC private equity fund. Zhang Yang must have some powerful connections." Xu Xiang felt he had figured things out. The mysterious organization that had them hanging on the mountaintop was probably named after playing cards.

"It turns out our opponent has always been in the open, we just didn't notice." Ge Weidong's mind flashed with Zhang Yang's image, followed by images of Zhang Yang, Liao Guopei, and Lin Guangchang going to the United States to meet Buffett.

Is someone hiding in the shadows?

Do not!
He has always been in the open.

After verifying the intelligence and making deductions, Wang Yawei couldn't help but complain: "That bastard Zhang Yang is really good at pretending. On the surface, he protects retail investors, but in reality, he's colluding with Fuchun Road and Mr. J behind the scenes. If I could, I would really like to expose him."

"..."

After Wang Yawei finished speaking, no one responded.

Exposing Zhang Yang?

Do they have evidence?

Apparently not.

Even based solely on their speculation, they have already implicated a large number of potential members of the "poker" organization. The true mastermind behind it all remains unknown.

"They may just have a clear division of labor, and there's no question of exposing them. The most important thing now is to dig out some intelligence. Even if I have to die, I want to die knowing why."

While trying to smooth things over, Ge Weidong didn't forget to remind everyone to investigate the organization.

"Let's start with Tao Yuang. As long as he's an egoist, we're not worried about getting him to talk." Xu Xiang nodded in agreement.

They didn't intend to target or expose Zhang Yang because they didn't understand the importance of the "joker" ranking.

If they wanted revenge, or rather, if they wanted to understand the truth behind the trap, they could only start by investigating Tao Yuang.

He Zhen, Chen Shan, Chang Shishan, Li Xuli and others all nodded slightly.

Their emotions have shifted from anger to acceptance. If the mysterious organization that hung them on the mountaintop involved Zhang Yang, Ma Yun, Li Yanhong, and Bao Xingwei, then it might not be so unacceptable.

……

The next day, February 10th.

After treating his employees to a big meal last night, Zhang Yang also noticed the online discussions. At that time, the top trending keyword on Weibo and Baidu Tieba was: eating noodles.

Clicking on the "eating noodles" entry, you'll see Li Daxiao's Weibo posts about eating noodles.

After reading the other person's blog post, Zhang Yang felt it made a lot of sense.

The logic behind the saying "Buy good stocks, be a good person, and you will be rewarded" is sound.

If Zhang Yang's capital reaches 300 billion or even more in the future, he will gradually change his style and start to engage in value investing.

At this point, some people might ask, why should we engage in value investing when we have a large amount of capital?
The reason is simple: when you have 300 billion in funds, making money in the secondary market becomes very slow and you are more likely to get hammered.

Like Buffett, he started with short-term trading in his early days. Once he had accumulated a certain amount of capital, he began to transform into the primary market, making profits by betting on the development of companies.

Of course, besides betting on a company's growth, you can also choose to invest in dividend-paying stocks.

This is why Buffett's portfolio always includes several banks.

Besides Li Daxiao eating noodles, Yang Delong, Liu Jipeng, Hu Xijin, and Chow Yun-fat also ate noodles on Weibo.

[Yang Delong]: Eat noodles with the lights off.

[Liu Jipeng]: This ticket for Shancheng Beer is really a rip-off. Everyone's eating noodles, so I'll join in with a bowl of knife-cut noodles too.

[Chow Yun-fat]: I also ate noodles. Although playing all-in is a kind of wisdom, it is only suitable for people with stable income. Please don't follow my example.

[Hu Xijin]: Old Hu is eating braised noodles. Retail investors, keep it up and try your best to make your money back.

The lesson learned from Shancheng Beer has served as a stark warning to both new and experienced stock market investors.

Seeing the financial sector so lively, Zhang Yang naturally wouldn't miss it. He immediately went downstairs to the community's fresh food supermarket, bought lobsters and scallops, and prepared to make a pot of seafood soup.

French ramen is his specialty, and it's also the kind of noodles he used to make in his past life.

French ramen is an innovative culinary style that combines French cooking techniques and ingredients with Japanese ramen.

A common practice is to replace traditional Japanese tonkotsu/seafood soup with French broth, such as lobster or scallops, and add French spices like saffron and thyme.

However, the mainstream dishes are still French-style clear soups or rich stews, but those cooking methods don't suit the tastes of Chinese people.

Around noon, Zhang Yang had just finished making the French ramen when He Jing, who had just gotten up, smelled the aroma and immediately had a great appetite. She exclaimed, "What are you cooking? It smells so good, so fresh!"

"Seafood ramen, with a rich broth. Everyone's eating noodles now, so we can't fall behind," Zhang Yang said with a faint smile.

"Sure enough, perpetrators all like to return to the scene of their crime to admire their masterpieces."

He Jing looked at Zhang Yang with disdain.

Others may not know who is behind the retail investors being trapped at the top of the market, but she sleeps next to Zhang Yang every day, so how could she not know who it is?

If word got out about what Zhang Yang had done—Shancheng Beer, Haitong Foods, Rhine Biologics, and Kainuo Technology—retail investors would probably chop him into mincemeat.

"Go wash up, I'll take a picture first." Zhang Yang smiled faintly, without a trace of guilt.

After all, it doesn't matter who takes advantage of retail investors.
Even without him, other speculative investors would have taken advantage of the situation; this market has always punished retail investors who try to profit from speculation.

"What a contrasting person," He Jing shook her head and walked towards the washroom.

Zhang Yang took a picture of ramen, posted it on his investment channel, and captioned it…

[I also had noodles for lunch today, homemade French seafood noodles. While eating, I still want to advise retail investors who are stuck with Shancheng Beer: if your money is idle capital that you can hold for 10 years, then don't panic. Consumer stocks will recover along with the economy, and you can rely on dividends and price stabilization to buy more and average down your cost. But if you have short-term funds, I suggest you get out first. Of course, if you have other valuable investment targets, don't hold on stubbornly; learn to cut your losses in time.]
Shancheng Beer, Qingdao Beer, and Snow Beer are the three giants of Chinese beer. Although Shancheng Beer has been gradually surpassed by Snow Beer, it does not diminish its long-term potential.

Of course.

There's one more thing Zhang Yang didn't mention.

That is, from 2014 to 2015, the A-share market will usher in an unprecedented leveraged bull market. It is no exaggeration to say that even if you buy junk stocks, you can still make money in the leveraged bull market.

Zhang Yang naturally wouldn't say it outright, but he told individual investors in Shancheng Beer to prepare to be stuck with their investments for 10 years, promising that they would definitely break even and make a profit within 10 years.

Many retail investors were deeply moved when they saw Zhang Yang eating noodles while still offering advice on how to recover their losses.

[Sunny Day]: Waaah, I'm so touched by Joker! It's true that only Joker cares about us retail investors. From now on, I'll only use Caiyan.com for stock trading.

[She said it was from sun exposure]: Joker's words make sense. I guess Shancheng Beer will bottom out when it returns to 20 yuan. At that time, you can buy more or hold it for the long term, betting on a surge in consumer stocks. You can wait until you break even.

[Wang Bujian Wang]: Joker is the guardian angel of us retail investors, and I am willing to support him as our spokesperson!
[Eat, drink, milk tea, and chat]: I understand. The great Joker told us to store the Chongqing beer for 10 years. My cost is 56. I choose to believe the great Joker and hope to break even in 2019. After all, I still have more than 100 million.

　My left eye is swollen, and it waters when I look at my phone screen. I just applied erythromycin eye ointment. I'll try to update as much as possible. To the person who mentioned the obituary, I'll remember you.
