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

Chapter 241 Wavering Between Tao Yuang and Chen Xiaoqun

Before attending the dinner, Tao Yuang had already spoken with Zhang Yang, whose reply was simple: he should be flexible and try to gather as much information as possible.

Zhang Yang knew very well that the alias "Fuchun Road" couldn't be kept secret for long.

Earning 3000 million or 3 million is not bad; it's not particularly outstanding in the secondary market, but only among the top-tier speculative investors.

But if someone makes 30 billion yuan, not to mention the leaders of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange, even just the leaders of the securities company would verify the identity of these "abnormally profitable" accounts.

You might not see an ant passing by, but how could you not see a tiger passing by?

Now that Wang Yawei, Xu Xiang, Ge Weidong and others have traced their investigation back to Tao Yuang, Zhang Yang predicts that it won't be long before his identity is fully exposed.

However, Zhang Yang had no idea that Xu Xiang, Ge Weidong, Wang Yawei, and their group weren't investigating "Fuchun Road," but rather a mysterious poker organization that included Mr. J and Zhang Yang.

"Manager Tao, Manager Tao," Chang Shishan called out softly twice.

"Um…"

Tao Yuang snapped back to reality and gave an awkward laugh, "Sorry, sorry, I was daydreaming. Where were we?"

"As Manager Ge just mentioned, we shook hands and made peace, and from now on we'll keep to ourselves. After all, there are so many retail investors in the A-share market, don't you think?" Chang Shishan summarized the message he wanted to convey at the dinner party.

"I don't quite understand."

Tao Yuang is completely confused.

He went to this "Hongmen Banquet" because Wang Yawei mentioned "Fuchun Road," and now he's brought up some organization and even a handshake to make peace. Tao Yuang's mind just couldn't wrap its head around it.

Moreover, he had no idea how Zhang Yang had offended these organizations.

They've all been harvested?
Can't you?
Ge Weidong alone is conservatively estimated to be worth 60 billion Chinese yuan.

No matter how amazing Zhang Yang is or how superb his trading skills are, he couldn't possibly swallow up so many public and private funds all at once.

Seeing that Tao Yuang was still "pretending," Xu Xiang had lost his patience. He was not a slow-paced person to begin with, and he bluntly said, "The mysterious poker organization behind you, Mr. J, Asking with whom you have an agreement on shares, and Joker with open cards, although we don't know exactly how many points you have, we can satisfy whatever you want."

"..."

Tao Yuang was somewhat bewildered. What on earth was all this?

A mysterious poker organization?

Who is Mr. J?

How did Zhang Yang and Qiu Baoyu get involved?

He remembered clearly that he had come to keep the appointment for the matter of "Fuchun Road".

It is also worth mentioning that Tao Yuang and Asking Qiu Baoyu agreed to transfer Haitong Foods shares because the latter sent someone to him, wanting to buy all of his Haitong Foods shares for 12 yuan.

If there is no agreement to transfer the shares, due to the regulations on major shareholders reducing their holdings, he will need at least a year to sell all of these shares.

Aside from their cooperative relationship, Tao Yuang and Qiu Baoyu had absolutely no other connection.

Seeing that Tao Yuang was still pretending to be crazy, Ge Weidong also lost his patience and took out the Bugatti Veyron car key and said, "I heard that Manager Tao loves all kinds of supercars. I have a Bugatti Veyron 16.4 here. I want to give this precious sword to the hero."

The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has an official price of US$173.8 million, but its price in China can reach tens of millions of Chinese yuan.

To buy such an expensive sports car, one would naturally not use personal money, but rather money from a Chaos Investment account, which also allows for tax deductions.

How do you say that?

The vehicle does not belong to me, but I have the right to use it 24 hours a day.

The supercars and luxury cars on the street are mostly company vehicles; only a small percentage of individual consumers actually spend millions or tens of millions to buy them.

"I also have a property in Lujiazui, it's just sitting there empty anyway..."

Chang Shishan was clearly prepared, even taking out the property ownership certificate.

"Cough cough."

He Zhen coughed twice and gave a signal with his eyes.

next second.

The six models stood up and came to stand behind Tao Yuang. Tao Yuang felt as if his head was being rested on several large balls of cotton.

The meaning is now very clear: as long as Tao Yuang loosens his grip even slightly, he will have everything he needs—a house, a car, and women—and reach the pinnacle of life in one step.

But here's the problem: Tao Yuang had no idea what Ge Weidong, Xu Xiang, and Wang Yawei wanted to know, nor did he know if this mysterious organization even existed.

Seeing that Tao Yuang was still unwilling to speak, Wang Yawei made things even clearer, saying, "Back then, Haitong Foods was being dumped by seven or eight institutions on Fuchun Road. You suddenly entered the fray and even violated the rules by buying up shares. This already exposed your connection with Fuchun Road."

"And the Shadowless Kick is connected to Fuchun Road, and the Shadowless Kick is also Mr. J's mouthpiece. It's hard not to link you together. We're all smart people, so there's no need to beat around the bush, right?"

Hearing this, Tao Yuang finally had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

It turns out that this group of people mistook him for a member of some mysterious organization, whose members might include Asking, Zhang Yang, and Mr. J.

Combined with recent rumors, Xu Xiang's control of Shancheng Beer has resulted in losses exceeding 100 million yuan...

"I see."

Tao Yuang murmured to himself.

After figuring out the general outline of the matter, his eyes changed from confusion to composure, and he suddenly said, "Interesting. I didn't expect that even though I'm so low-key, you guys still found out."

In an instant.

Everyone's expression shifted slightly.

"The poker organization really does exist," Ge Weidong muttered to himself, while forcing a smile. "What's your number in the organization?"

"3." Tao Yuang gave the smallest number, then took a sip of his drink and said, "I can't reveal anything else. Let's just keep to ourselves from now on."

"So it's just a nobody." Xu Xiang sneered inwardly, also wanting to find out who Mr. J really was, and quickly asked, "Manager Tao, is there any possibility of us cooperating?"

What do you want to collaborate on?

Tao Yuang is really into his dramatic persona.

His purpose in attending the banquet was to sound out the opinions of these agency managers on behalf of Zhang Yang.

He once broke off his cooperation with Zhang Yang on market research reports without authorization for a petty profit, which resulted in him being whipped by Ou Guiyan.

Now that his career has finally gotten back on track and is showing a booming trend, he won't do anything foolish again.

It's no exaggeration to say that ever since he learned that Zhang Yang was Fuchun Road and witnessed Caiyan.com annexing Baidu Finance, he has regarded Zhang Yang as a god and wanted to cling to him tightly.

"I would like to obtain all information about your poker organization and its members, and if possible, also want to know your next steps."

Xu Xiang shared his thoughts.

Others might beat around the bush, but he was never good at being tactful.

Seeing that someone had taken the lead, Ge Weidong, Chang Shishan, and Wang Yawei all remained silent, quietly waiting for Tao Yuang's choice.

10 seconds.

30 seconds.

50 seconds.

While Tao Yuang remained silent, the six models standing behind him were also silently rubbing the back of his head.

"I'm sorry." Tao Yuang stood up, glanced at all the managers present, and finally looked at Xu Xiang, saying, "I know very little. What you want, I don't have."

He said this from the bottom of his heart, because he really knew nothing.

If Tao Yuang hadn't attended this dinner, he would never have known that so many organizational managers were stuck at the top of the mountain.

However, upon closer examination, it does make sense, since it's not just Chongqing Beer that's collapsing, but the entire concept of curative hepatitis B vaccines.

Seeing that Tao Yuang was about to leave, Ge Weidong quickly picked up the car keys and forced them into Tao Yuang's hand, saying, "Even if the deal doesn't go through, we can still be friends. Manager Tao, you can drive this car for me for a few days, just to get used to it."

"This house..."

Just as Chang Shishan was about to speak, Tao Yuang immediately refused, saying, "There's no need for a room. It would be too much trouble to move around."

"It was my oversight." Chang Shishan silently put away the property certificate.

In fact, if given the chance, he really wanted to squeeze into this mysterious circle.

Based on current speculation, the members are all top figures in their respective industries, especially Bao Xingwei, Ma Yun, Li Yanhong, and Zhang Yang, who are all first-rate giants.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, I have some things to attend to."

Just as Tao Yuang was about to leave, He Zhen quickly hinted, "Manager Tao, aren't you going to pick a passenger seat? They've admired you for a long time."

Having learned his lesson the hard way, Tao Yuang was not about to repeat it. Besides, if he really wanted to find a woman, it would be safer for him to spend some money. So he politely declined, saying, "No, I have a tigress at home. I can't just let anyone sit in the passenger seat."

"Well then, it seems they're not fortunate enough to have such a talented man like Manager Tao."

"Manager Tao, let me see you off."

"Please wait, everyone. I can go back by myself, so I won't trouble you any further."

"The hotel provides doormen and chauffeured drivers."

"Thanks for reminding."

Amidst polite exchanges, Tao Yuang took the elevator back to the first floor and handed the Bugatti Veyron key to the hotel doorman, asking him to drive him home.

After watching Tao Yuang leave, Xu Xiang said in a deep voice, "Since the other party accepted the Bugatti Veyron, it means that turning him to defect is possible. Since he doesn't want the house, is it possible that he wants cash?"

"I think there's no need to continue investigating. Let's just accept this as a loss." He Zhen was already having second thoughts because he didn't want to offend the mastermind behind the poker organization.

"It's fine to end it here."

Wang Yawei also expressed his opinion.

The two who spoke first were both managers of public funds. The money they lost came from the contributions of fund investors, so they wouldn't feel too bad about it. It was just a matter of sacrificing some performance.

But private equity is different, especially for Xu Xiang, whose Zexi No. 1 private equity fund has nearly 10 billion yuan of his own money.

And then there's Ge Weidong, who still has the betting settlement date looming over him.

Losing money from others and losing money from yourself are two different concepts.

"Let's leave it at that. I'm a bit tired and want to rest." Ge Weidong paused, then looked at the model in the black stockings and cheongsam and asked, "Xiaomin, right? Do you know how to give massages?"

Xiaomin: "I know a little."

"Then come with me."

Ge Weidong left the terrace of Sir Ellie's Restaurant with the model in black stockings.

Some people stayed at the Peninsula Hotel, while others chose to leave.

Those who chose to stay at the hotel quietly gathered together again, including Ge Weidong, Xu Xiang, Chang Shishan, Li Xuli, and Chen Shan, all of whom are managers of private equity firms.

"What are your thoughts now?" Ge Weidong glanced at the group of people who had reunited. He was definitely not going to swallow this insult.

Not only Ge Weidong, but Xu Xiang also couldn't swallow this insult.

If the unrealized losses from the delivery on the 28th are included, the total losses of these five people have exceeded 3 billion yuan.

“Tao Yuang is a pawn that can be used. Let’s dig into the details of the poker organization first. If it’s not clean, we can report it to higher authorities and use regulatory power to uproot them.”

Chang Shishan's eyes flashed with a fierce light. He had already asked around and found out that the other party might be an organization with foreign investment background. The higher-ups were keeping a close eye on foreign investment, so it was a favorable opportunity that could be taken advantage of.

"How about we give Tao Yuang some money?" Xu Xiang suggested, scanning the crowd.

How much to send?

Chen Shan inquired.

"1000 million, 200 million each for us, what do you all think?" Xu Xiang said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuli nodded slightly and said, "If 1000 million can win over Tao Yuang, it's not a loss. The key is the intelligence he has. If it's valuable, we can make it all back in one go."

"You can try it."

Ge Weidong chimed in agreement.

He had already decided that if the poker organization was indeed as deeply entrenched as they suspected, then he would suffer in silence.

However, if the funds involved are not substantial and involve illegal funds, he will decisively strike hard to avenge the loss of Shancheng Beer.

……

And on the other side.

Grand Hyatt Shanghai.

In the opulent private room, Chen Xiaoqun's father, Chen Bangde, said with a face full of remorse, "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry. I've spoiled Xiaoqun so much that he actually came to Shanghai to cause you trouble. I'll deal with him when I get back."

After saying that, he raised his glass and said, "I will punish myself with three drinks because I failed to discipline my children properly."

"You're being too polite. Xiaoqun does have a knack for trading; he deserves some serious nurturing." Zhang Yang reached out to stop the glass of wine and expressed his thoughts.

In the morning, Chen Xiaoqun suddenly came to Zhang Yang's door, saying that he had achieved a 200% return and wanted to become Zhang Yang's apprentice. However, considering the other party's age, Zhang Yang needed to obtain the consent of the other party's guardian before he dared to accept him as an apprentice.

Many people may think that 14-year-olds should study like crazy and prepare for the college entrance examination in advance.

That's actually true. Studying hard before the college entrance exam, getting into a good university, and then finding a good job is a relatively smooth path that has been proven countless times.

However, besides this flat avenue, there are also rugged paths.

Bill Gates dropped out of college, Li Jiacheng dropped out of primary school, and Cao Wang didn't even finish primary school before starting to farm and sell fruit.

Of course.

These are all examples of successful comebacks.

There are also many "losers" who regret not studying harder.

However, one thing is certain: life is not a single path, but a series of crossroads, and every step can potentially change the course of your life.

Chen Xiaoqun wasn't stupid. He realized that Zhang Yang wanted him to stay, so he quickly looked at Chen Bangde, who had just gotten off the plane and had come all the way here, and said, "Dad, listen, even the great Joker says I have a talent for trading. Please let me try. I really want to make a name for myself in the stock market."

“I will definitely respect your choice, but I also have to be responsible for your future.” Chen Bangde had barely finished speaking when he added, “Your teacher said that if you maintain your current grades, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University won’t be a problem. But if you drop, you’ll only be able to attend Fudan, Shanghai Jiao Tong, Wuhan University, or Zhejiang University.” “No, I will study hard on my own.”

Chen Xiaoqun made a guarantee.

However, Chen Bangde did not want Chen Xiaoqun to take the "rugged path" because, according to his plan, after obtaining his degree from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, Chen Xiaoqun could directly join the army as a non-commissioned officer and might even succeed him in the future.

Seeing Chen Xiaoqun's insistence, Chen Bangde simply brought up Zheng Xiaoyue, saying, "Your opinion doesn't count, and neither does mine. You should call your mother and ask her. If you can convince her, then I'll let you try for six months."

"When we men are having a conversation, there's no need for women to get involved..."

Chen Xiaoqun spoke softer and softer.

He wasn't afraid of Chen Bangde, but he was really afraid of Zheng Xiaoyue. When he was seven or eight years old, he was often beaten, especially by the clothes rack.

"You're nothing but a little brat who hasn't even grown a single hair yet." Chen Bangde saw through Chen Xiaoqun's timidity and emphasized that the inquiry call had to be made.

Zhang Yang witnessed this scene and roughly understood Chen Bangde's thoughts.

"Fine, I'll hit you then."

Just as Chen Xiaoqun was about to make a call, Zhang Yang suddenly interrupted, "There's something I need to tell Xiaoqun beforehand."

"Please speak, Joker."

Chen Xiaoqun said respectfully.

Chen Bangde, standing to the side, was speechless. He thought to himself, "You don't even treat your father this well. This kid, Xiaoqun, is really obsessed with the stock market."

"What do you think of Fuchun Road?" Zhang Yang asked, his tone serious.

"He's a real beast, preying on retail investors. He's narrow-minded and his character is definitely questionable," Chen Xiaoqun said without hesitation.

"Ahem, mind your manners."

Chen Bangde coughed twice. Although he didn't know what "Fuchun Road" was, Chen Xiaoqun's manners were indeed beyond his expectations. If Zheng Xiaoyue heard this, she would probably pull out the clothes hanger.

"What did he do that made you think he's a bad person?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"They're ripping off retail investors, and they even pulled off a 92450 point crash. It's utterly despicable. They'll get their comeuppance sooner or later."

Chen Xiaoqun answered without hesitation.

His impression of "Fuchun Road" can no longer be described as bad; it's like a rat in a stinking ditch, something that makes his eyes feel dirty just looking at it.

After hearing Chen Xiaoqun's answer, Zhang Yang smiled faintly. The other party indeed had a childlike worldview, seeing the world in black and white.

After briefly gathering his thoughts, Zhang Yang asked again, "You said you wanted to be a speculative investor, but the behavior of speculative investors is no different from the current behavior of Fuchun Road. They are both transferring the wealth of retail investors into their own pockets. What do you think is the fundamental difference between you and Fuchun Road?"

"I won't dump the shares immediately; instead, I'll let some retail investors profit."

Chen Xiaoqun answered quickly.

"What about the other retail investors?" Zhang Yang asked just as quickly.

"Then... well, we can only blame them for being too greedy."

When Chen Xiaoqun said this, Zhang Yang's lips curled into a faint smile, and he said, "Am I right? In essence, your actions are no different from what Fuchun Road did. They are all about trapping a group of retail investors at the top of the mountain."

"How can I make it different from Fuchun Road?" Chen Xiaoqun asked humbly.

"If you want to profit from the stock market, you must understand that every penny you earn is money that others have lost now or in the future."

Zhang Yang's words were resolute and revealed the truth about the stock market.

Many individual investors have a misconception that the money they make in the stock market comes from the rise in the index or individual stocks.

But strictly speaking, the money that retail investors make is the money that other retail investors lose.

Why do you say that?

If you buy a stock at 10 yuan and sell it at 15 yuan, you will make a profit of 5 yuan.

For every sale, there must be a buy order. Suppose a retail investor who bought at 15 yuan is very unlucky and the price drops to 12 yuan right after he bought it. He cuts his losses and sells, and then another retail investor buys at 12 yuan. The stock price continues to fall and returns to 10 yuan.

It's easy to see that the first retail investor paid you 3 yuan, while the second retail investor paid 2 yuan.

The stock market game is essentially about each other taking money from each other's pockets. Unrealized gains are not real money; ultimately, the retail investors who buy in bear all the losses.

At this point, some people might ask, what if the stock price doesn't fall?

Throughout the 400-year history of global stock markets, there has never been a stock that has never fallen.

It may not revert to the initial point, but it will definitely experience a continuous decline, during which wealth will be quietly transferred.

Jesse Livermore, the father of speculative trading and a famous American investment scholar, once said: "Paid-up profits are not money; real profits are. The market will give you a false sense of wealth until you learn to take profits in time."

What Jesse Livermore was trying to say was the transfer of wealth during stock market fluctuations.

Chen Xiaoqun was stunned.

He felt that his belief in stock trading was undergoing an unprecedented collapse.

(I believe in who I am, and I believe in tomorrow.)
(I believe youth has no horizon)
Suddenly, Zhang Yang's phone rang.

"I'll take a call."

Zhang Yang looked at Chen Bangde and said.

Chen Bangde: "Mr. Zhang, please go ahead with your work."

Zhang Yang, holding a Nokia phone, walked to the corridor outside the private room.

Seeing Zhang Yang leave, Chen Bangde also advised, "Go back and study hard. Mr. Zhang is right. Speculative capital cannot protect retail investors; instead, it will become a sickle wielded against them."

"But I want to be a speculative investor."

Chen Xiaoqun said, extremely conflicted.

His dream has always been to dominate the secondary market, appear on the list of top traders, and have his own seat.

But he couldn't bear to take advantage of retail investors, which created a huge contradiction.

“Fuchun Road is a speculative investor, right?” Chen Bangde asked.

Chen Xiaoqun: "Yes."

"If you can accept the opinions of retail investors regarding him and how they evaluate you, then you can choose this path. Otherwise, come back with me."

When Chen Bangde said this, Chen Xiaoqun fell completely silent.

At his age, he doesn't have many expenses, and he's not short of money, nor does he have any grand material desires.

Adults might enter the stock market to make money to buy sports cars, houses, or go on sea trips with women.

But Chen Xiaoqun was different. He didn't have such worldly desires; he simply wanted to be a speculative investor and dominate the stock market.

……

Tao Yuang, who had just returned to his residential community, did not rush home. Instead, he sat on a bench in the community's fitness park, holding a phone, and reported the details of tonight's dinner party to Zhang Yang.

“I’ve figured it out, Junior Brother Zhang. Ge Weidong, Xu Xiang and his gang misunderstood that there’s a mysterious poker organization behind me. They even said that Wuyingjiao, Fuchun Road, Asking, Mr. J, and you are also in this organization.”

"Me too?"

Zhang Yang's heart skipped a beat. Had he been found out?
its not right!
If it were discovered, the other party wouldn't need to go to such lengths.

"Yes, they're talking about the Joker. They probably think of you as the King in poker, J, Ace, the King. They have quite the imagination, haha."

While Tao Yuang couldn't help but sneer, he was also testing Zhang Yang, wanting to know if the mysterious poker organization really existed.

"I see." Zhang Yang said with sudden realization, then asked, "What else did they say?"

"They wanted to know all about the mysterious organization and also wanted to cooperate with me because I lied and said I was Poker 3," Tao Yuang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Yang already had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

If nothing unexpected happens, it's likely that Ge Weidong, Xu Xiang, and other managers from various organizations couldn't swallow this insult and wanted to dig into Mr. J's background, but inexplicably ended up imagining a poker organization.

If it were Zhang Yang from his past life, he wouldn't have been able to swallow this insult either.

A reputable private equity and public fund management company with hundreds of billions of yuan in funds was ruined by "Mr. J" through off-market tactics, destroying the entire hype concept.

In terms of pure capital, they are not afraid of any capital. Even if Buffett came, he would have to lie low, because the stock of Shancheng Beer is only so big, and they have enough funds to take it all, and even control the entire concept to prevent it from falling.

But then again, this isn't a battle over funding at all!
What "Mr. J" did was to defeat them at their root.

This is similar to building a house with C100 concrete that can withstand missiles, but using C15 concrete for the foundation. Instead of attacking the C100 concrete building, the enemy will dig up the weakest part of the house, the foundation. No matter how strong the C100 concrete building is, it will collapse when the foundation collapses.

"Being blinded by anger is a good opportunity to make money."

Zhang Yang murmured to himself.

In just a few seconds, he came up with a plan and said, "Since the other party wants to cooperate with you, why don't you act as a double agent and make some money out of it?"

"Is...is this really possible?"

Tao Yuang never expected Zhang Yang to say that. When he reported the news just now, he deliberately concealed the Bugatti Veyron. He also had his own selfish motives.

As the old saying goes, "If a person doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth."

When he was being courted by Ge Weidong and Xu Xiang, Tao Yuang wavered a few times, but because Zhang Yang had been so helpful to him, and his career had finally gotten back on track, he still leaned towards Zhang Yang.

"Of course you can. As long as you do as I say, you can be successful in everything and make a fortune," Zhang Yang said with a faint smile.

He knew very well that Tao Yuang was a sophisticated egoist, and when dealing with such a person, one could only talk about interests, not personal relationships.

Just like back then, Zhang Yang wrote market research reports for him, helping him become a star manager at Huaxin Securities, and then he was transferred to Huaxia Fund, where he enjoyed preferential treatment in resources.

How did he do it?

After assembling the market research team, he wanted to use a hush money payment to kick Zhang Yang aside.

Zhang Yang was unaware of any hidden traps in the hush money arrangement, but he was very clear that Tao Yuang only cared about his own interests, and that Zhang Yang and Tao Yuang's cooperation was merely a matter of mutual exploitation.

Since the other party is a sophisticated egoist, rather than letting him be gradually crushed by Xu Xiang and Ge Weidong, it's better to use this pawn to set Xu Xiang and Ge Weidong up again, and also delay the time for his identity to be exposed.

"What do you want me to do?"

Tao Yuang quickly pressed for more information.

"They want to know what the poker organization will do next, so just tell them that you're paying attention to the iPhone 3GS concept."

As soon as Zhang Yang finished speaking, he reminded him, "Don't tell them directly that you have to get benefits first, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, I understand. Junior Brother Zhang, I have no way to repay you!" Tao Yuang's tone was filled with excitement.

"Oh, right."

Then, as if remembering something, he asked, "Junior Brother Zhang, do you know Mr. J?"

"We know each other, I suppose. He's the mastermind behind the fake synthetic peptide hepatitis B vaccine, which is why Ge Weidong and Xu Xiang are so angry," Zhang Yang explained.

"understood."

Tao Yuang didn't think much of it, because he didn't believe that Zhang Yang, who was almost killed by the organization at Haitong Foods, would be the same Mr. J who had hung Ge Weidong, Xu Xiang, Chang Shishan and other bigwigs on the mountaintop.

He also knew that Zhang Yang was from "Fuchun Road," not some "Mr. J."

"Okay, that's all. I have things to do, so I'll hang up now."

"Let's talk about Junior Brother Zhang again."

"Talk to you later."

As the call ended, Zhang Yang looked at the latest call log on his phone. He knew that his secret identity wouldn't last much longer, and his immediate priority was to make the necessary arrangements for Caiyan.com.

The day the "Fuchun Road" alias is exposed, Caiyan.com will definitely face an unprecedented impact. If it can overcome this, surpassing Eastmoney and Tonghuashun will only take a moment.

"We need to talk to Xu Zhirou and discuss how to convert this wave of traffic."

Zhang Yang murmured to himself.

After a brief moment of thought, he stopped thinking about it and returned to the private room.

……

Meanwhile, Tao Yuang, after receiving instructions from Zhang Yang, finally accepted the Bugatti Veyron with a clear conscience, and immediately called Xu Xiang.

"Dududu-"

After a brief busy signal, the call was connected.

"What can I do for you, Manager Tao?"

At this moment, Xu Xiang was "busy" trying to calm the heat in his heart.

Listening to the sounds on the other end of the phone, Tao Yuang didn't hesitate and said frankly, "I've thought it through. I don't know the specific identities of the other people in the poker organization, but I know their next move..."

He paused for half a second, then emphasized, "It costs more."

Xu Xiang: "How much more?"

Tao Yuang: "It would have to be at least seven figures."

Xu Xiang, who was still busy, almost burst out laughing when he heard this. They had prepared an eight-figure sum, but Tao Yuang only wanted a seven-figure sum. He immediately said, "I promise you, you tell me first."

"This verbal promise..."

Tao Yuang hesitated for a moment, thinking that he would exchange money for information.

"Do you think someone with billions in cash flow who runs a private equity firm would be short of your seven-figure tipping fee?" Xu Xiang couldn't help but ask, his tone contemptuous.

If the information is useless, he might back out of the 1000 million, but he, the leader of the gang, can still afford to pay a few million, which is a "small amount".

After all, for Xu Xiang, earning a few million is just a matter of one ticket.

Tao Yuang found it quite reasonable, but considering that the news might not be true and had no value to him, he decided to trust Xu Xiang's character and frankly said, "They are planning to develop the iPhone 3GS concept."
