Chapter 265: 9 Million Yuan Investment in IoT, Zhang Yang's "Fuchun Road" Identity Exposed
Zhang Yang, who habitually watches "Xinwen Lianbo" (the nightly news program on CCTV) to record weekend news, was stunned for half a second when he saw the program name China Unicom for inducing high consumption and setting thresholds for purchasing mobile phones. Then he smiled and said: "The resources that a company with hundreds of billions can access are indeed not something that ordinary people can control."

He had expected China Mobile and China Telecom to launch a strong counterattack, but he didn't expect them to be so ruthless; they really wanted to destroy China Unicom.

However, to be fair, the fact that China Unicom exclusively distributes the Chinese version of the iPhone 3GS does indeed involve enticing consumers to spend excessively and setting conditions for purchasing the phone is undeniable.

The two anchors of "Xinwen Lianbo" (News Broadcast), Kang Hui and Hai Xia, did not hold back and commented on China Unicom and the Chinese version of the iPhone 3GS.

[Kang Hui]: Purchasing a mobile phone should be a convenient consumption experience, and it shouldn't be turned into a "troublesome matter" by layers of barriers. We hope that this report will make more companies realize that true competitiveness is not about "binding consumers," but about winning recognition with high-quality products and services that consumers can choose voluntarily.

[Haixia]: Yes, relevant departments should question or punish companies that set unreasonable purchase thresholds in accordance with the law, so that "unreasonable terms" have no room to survive. Secondly, industry associations should guide companies to return to "consumer needs as the core" and jointly create a new future for 3G networks.

[Kang Hui]: Let's look at the next news item.

As he watched the news content change, Zhang Yang's lips curled into a faint smile, and he muttered to himself, "Shouldn't the A-share and Hong Kong-listed shares of China Unicom finally break down next week?"

Since November 2nd, when Zhang Yang, Liao Guopei, and Lin Guangchang went to Hong Kong Island to openly short-sell China Unicom, its stock price has risen continuously due to the intervention of opposing funds.

However, with China Unicom embroiled in negative news, coupled with the high price and high barriers to entry of the domestic version of the iPhone 3GS, the opposing side of the "Zhangjiang gang" dared not continue to push up the price and could only invest to stabilize the stock price trend.

On Friday, November 6th, the closing price of China Unicom's A-shares was 7.52 yuan, while its Hong Kong-listed shares were 11.82 Hong Kong dollars, both showing varying degrees of decline.

Without exception, none of them fell below the prices of 7.25 yuan and 11.68 Hong Kong dollars, which were anchored to Zexi Private Equity and Chaos Investment, respectively.

As for the HK$10 billion put option, its anchor price is HK$10, but it is not cost-anchored; rather, it is the strike price.

If China Unicom's stock price falls to HK$10 or lower, the "Zhangjiang gang" can exercise their right to sell the option contracts they hold to the relevant institutions and profit from the price difference.

In addition to options, the "Zhangjiang gang" also holds nearly HK$30 billion in short selling, with the same anchor price of HK$11.68, all of which are currently at a loss.

Because of the large scale of the short selling, Liao Guopei and Lin Guangchang would occasionally receive calls from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

It is worth mentioning that, since there are no restrictions on trading in the collateralized securities account, only restrictions on securities-to-bank transfers, Zhang Yang did not continue to hold Huaguo Unicom shares, but cleared them all out in three days on November 4th, 5th and 6th.

2.017843 million shares of China Unicom were traded at an average price of 7.59 yuan, totaling 15.315 billion yuan. Adding the 4.99 million yuan cashed out by Zeng Lingshan, Feng Weiqiang, and Chen Xiaoqun on November 2, the available funds instantly returned to 20.305 billion yuan.

The average holding price of the 2.686292 million shares of China Unicom was 6.67 yuan, and the total profit was 2.38743236 million yuan.

With 20.305 billion yuan in hand, the "Zhangjiang gang" naturally couldn't just leave it alone; instead, they simultaneously invested in Internet of Things (IoT) concept stocks.

Currently, the "Zhangjiang Gang" holds a total of six stocks, namely four potential leading stocks: Yuanwanggu, Newland, Yinjiang Technology, and Hanwei Technology. The original four miscellaneous stocks were removed from the investment list by Zhang Yang because Wangsu Technology and Robot turned red ahead of schedule on November 2nd, leaving only two miscellaneous stocks: Xinning Logistics and Huaxing Venture.

Among them, Newland and Far East Valley maintained their original positions, with Newland holding 1793.47 million shares at a cost price of 14.65 yuan per share and Far East Valley holding 12064 million shares at a cost price of 21.34 yuan per share.

Yinjiang Technology and Hanwei Technology each purchased 3 million yuan worth of shares. Yinjiang Technology purchased 980.39 million shares at an average cost of 30.6 yuan, while Hanwei Technology purchased 740.74 million shares at an average cost of 40.5 yuan.

The two miscellaneous stocks did not involve much investment, with each receiving 1.5 million yuan. Xinning Logistics held 564.75 million shares at an average purchase price of 26.56 yuan, while Huaxing Venture held 391.54 million shares at an average purchase price of 38.31 yuan.

The investment of 9 million yuan reduced the available funds to 11.3 billion yuan.

Zhang Yang did not intend to go all in on the remaining 11.3 billion yuan, but rather planned to use it to drive up the price. Without investing additional funds, Zeng Lingshan, Feng Weiqiang, and Chen Xiaoqun also had a chance to gain experience, which was to be responsible for trading these six stocks to reduce their holding costs.

(I believe I am who I am)

(I believe in tomorrow)

Suddenly, the Nokia phone that was prominently displayed on the table rang.

"Yang Wei".

Zhang Yang read out the phone number's notes.

These are the first batch of senior executives at Caiyan.com, who are currently mainly responsible for the management of the technology department.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Zhang Yang knew that if someone called after get off work, they must have something to say.

“Mr. Zhang, would you like to come to Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University? Ms. Xu has collapsed from exhaustion, and the doctor is still examining her.”

"Keep in touch, I'll be there soon."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Yang hung up the phone and casually closed the laptop lid.

Without pausing for a moment, he grabbed the Mercedes keys, turned off the living room lights, and headed straight for Huashan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University.

As for He Jing, she has taken over three public funds with a total value of over 20 billion yuan. She has already informed Zhang Yang in advance and may be busy at the company until late at night in the near future.

Since Bao Xingwei visited China Asset Management, her industry resources have taken off. She not only received promotional resources but also made it onto China Asset Management's list of promising new fund managers and gained increased visibility on the official website.

……

And at the same time.

the other side.

On a street corner of Wending Road in Shanghai, there is a shop called "Sincerity Brings Miracles". A wooden sign hangs on one side of the wall, which is painted with the business hours from 7 pm to 11 pm, only 4 hours a day.

However, the "Sincerity Brings Miracles" service did not open on time tonight, and the dozen or so customers who had lined up early gradually lost patience.

"It's already 7:30, why isn't it open yet? Did they run away with the money?"

"I came here through a friend's introduction, hoping to have my destiny told, but I was inexplicably turned away. What bad luck."

"Words can be dangerous, everyone. Meng Po is very powerful. I've heard that she accumulated a lot of good deeds in the underworld in her previous life, and she's here in this life to save all living beings. Please be patient and wait."

“Yes, last time my son kept crying for no reason. We went to all the major hospitals but it didn’t work. Then someone introduced us to Meng Po, and she comforted him for a few words and he stopped crying.”

"Is it really so magical?"

"This is my personal experience."

Just then, Ge Weidong, dressed in a red suit, gold trousers and leather shoes, appeared at the back of the line. Instead of waiting in line, he took out a wad of cash and said, "I have urgent business with Meng Po. Here is 500 yuan. Let me cut in line."

"Please go ahead, brother."

The person in front immediately broke into a wide smile.

Cutting in line is immoral, but in this situation, "morality" is in your hands.

"500 to cut in line."

"No problem, no problem, I'm not in a hurry."

"I'll give you 500 to cut in line."

"Please come up."

Although Ge Weidong's clothes were unfashionable, his generous spending made the local Shanghai residents, who were known for their "stylishness," think he was cool, since he was genuinely giving money.

可别觉得500块钱少，2009年沪都的平均月薪是3500块，普通职工基本都是1500到2000块钱的月薪，500元已经是普通职工小半个月的工资。

After handing out several thousand yuan, Ge Weidong arrived at the front of the line.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door inside was opened.

A young man, who appeared to be in his early twenties, opened the old wooden door and then deftly opened the iron gate.

"Please come in, first person."

The other person looked at Ge Weidong.

He still remembered this client; he had donated 100 million yuan to charity some time ago.

"Just a small token of my appreciation."

Ge Weidong didn't give out money directly, but instead pulled out a large red envelope, which, judging by its thickness alone, contained at least 5000 yuan.

"Good~"

The young man smiled and accepted it, thinking to himself, "If there were a few more idiots like this, I could have a Lamborghini."

Ge Weidong didn't have mind-reading abilities, so he naturally didn't know what the other person was thinking. Instead, he bowed respectfully and entered the shop. The lighting inside was dim. To the east, there was a statue of a deity covered with a red cloth, and two huge ingot-shaped candles were burning slowly. On one side of the table, there was a box with the words "Good Karma" written on it.

This wasn't his first time there. Being experienced, he skillfully took out a red envelope, approached the statue, put it into the donation box, and then lit incense to offer his prayers.

After doing all this, he went into the inner room, where the lighting was even dimmer, using candlelight. The visible layout was very simple, with only a few stools and a bed. The invisible layout was covered by a beaded curtain, through which one could vaguely see an old woman sitting in a chair.

"who?"

A low voice was heard.

"Ge Weidong".

"What's the matter?"

"Asking about wealth."

What's troubling you?

"My finances have been bad lately, and I've been making frequent investment mistakes. I'd like to ask the fortune teller if I've offended anything recently?"

Ge Weidong rushed over overnight because he saw the CCTV Evening News criticizing China Unicom and the Chinese version of the iPhone 3GS, and he knew he might lose this round again.

When he signed the "Loan Agreement" with "Mr. J", he was extremely careful and cautious.

But the result?

The three major telecom operators have suddenly started fighting!
Most importantly, it has been reported that a large number of Hong Kong versions of the iPhone 3GS have been shipped to the mainland, and their low prices have created a significant competitive advantage.

This series of events made him realize that he had seriously underestimated the power of the mysterious poker organization. He became honest and now only asked the "fairy" to help him get his fortune back on track.

10 seconds.

30 seconds.

60 seconds.

Time passed bit by bit.

Behind the beaded curtain, a short, wrinkled old woman, around seventy or eighty years old, was listening to fortune-telling guidance from another member of her gang through black wired headphones.

“This person came before, and we used the excuse that his wealth position was blocked by dirt. This time, we’ll say that the Five Yellow Star is in his wealth palace, and we’ll tell him to bring more golden items, preferably yellow crystal, which the God of Wealth likes.”

In fact, the moment Ge Weidong entered to offer his prayers, the "Sincerity Moves the Spirit" gang had already recognized him through the surveillance footage in the corner above and retrieved his "consultation file," continuing their multi-on-one scam. After a full five minutes of silence, Meng Po spoke: "You are afflicted by the Five Yellow Star in your wealth palace, your fortune is completely lost. You need to wear more golden items, especially yellow crystal. Yellow represents nobility, and water represents wealth. Do you remember that?"

"remember."

Ge Weidong silently noted it down, and then he asked, "I also want to ask one more thing, which is whether I have offended anyone I shouldn't have?"

He thought of "Mr. J" and the mysterious poker organization. Ever since the two companies became adversaries, Chaos Investment's business had not been going smoothly.

Perhaps due to a wrong mindset, Ge Weidong even lost tens of millions in futures trading.

Anyone who has studied psychology knows that when someone asks, "Have I offended someone I shouldn't have?", it's almost certain that they have offended someone they didn't want to offend, or someone they regret offending.

"He lost money on his investment and offended someone." The person who delivered the message to Meng Po quickly grasped the key point and said, "He must have offended someone, which caused him to lose money. Advise him to turn hostility into friendship."

After hearing the message, Meng Po remained silent for a few minutes before slowly saying, "When will this cycle of revenge end? Peace is the most precious thing."

"I understand."

Ge Weidong bowed quickly.

He's come to terms with it now. An eye for an eye only leads to more eye-opening. If he hadn't tried to get revenge back then, he wouldn't have suffered two setbacks.

Stocks are too difficult to play, so he has to reinvest his energy in the futures market.

……

Unlike Ge Weidong, who went to "seek divine guidance," Xu Xiang felt a wave of dizziness when he learned that CCTV's "News Broadcast" had criticized China Unicom and the Chinese version of the iPhone 3GS. He had never expected that the mysterious poker organization would have such great power.

"What should we do, Brother Xiang? Will China Unicom's stock remain stable next week?"

Ma Xinqi is somewhat pessimistic.

He tolerated the fierce competition among the three major telecom operators for 3G users, as it involved a crucial step in the transition from 2G to 3G networks.

But now?

The evening news program "Xinwen Lianbo" (News Broadcast) will now call out names!
While it's true that China Unicom and the Chinese version of the iPhone 3GS do have related issues, this is a devastating blow to all parties involved.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only try to minimize the losses." Xu Xiang looked somewhat dejected as he lit a cigarette.

"call--"

He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke.

Xu Xiang now seriously suspects that he is "offending the Grand Duke Jupiter" because his attempts to control the game have been thwarted several times since May. However, it can't be said that he was thwarted by others; rather, it was a mysterious poker organization.

Should I really go see a fortune teller?

Xu Xiang hesitated for a moment.

He was different from Ge Weidong, who was a staunch supporter of metaphysics, while Xu Xiang was just seeking psychological comfort.

"Speaking of which, where in Shanghai can I find a fortune teller?" Xu Xiang suddenly asked.

Ma Xinqi, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm not sure."

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Xu Xiang was desperate and was grasping at straws, so he reminded him, "Fortune telling and divination are similar to astrology. Even a dog can be predicted to have a few things. Brother Xiang, please don't believe in them."

He doesn't understand metaphysics, but he understands history, such as the concept of "divine right of kings."

The compulsory education textbooks have already stated that "divine right of kings" means that by binding royal power with divine power, the authority of the monarch is strengthened, and the people obey the monarch's rule out of reverence for the gods, thereby maintaining social order and stability of the regime.

Why was the story of Duke Zhuang of Zheng shooting the Zhou emperor with an arrow recorded in history?
It wasn't because of his exceptional archery skills, but because he exposed the deception of the "divine right of kings."

Before this, the emperor was the representative of the gods on earth, and no one dared to blaspheme him. But when the Zhou emperor was injured by the mortal Duke Zhuang of Zheng and shed his first drop of blood, it showed that he was also a mortal, which opened the prelude to the struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"I was just asking casually." Xu Xiang smiled helplessly. He had really been possessed just now, actually thinking of having his fortune told.

"Brother Xiang!!"

"We've been tricked, Brother Xiang!!"

Just then, Sun Guodong and Shu Yimin strode into the open trading office area of ​​Zexi Private Equity. Beside them followed a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who was none other than Zhang Xiaolong, the client manager of Hongyue Investment.

"What do you mean?"

A look of confusion flashed across Xu Xiang's eyes, and he asked again, "And who is this?"

“Zhang Xiaolong, a client manager at Hongyue Investment, is an alumnus of Zhang Yang and Tao Yuang. We went to great lengths to find him,” Sun Guodong quickly introduced.

Ever since Chen Sanrong, the "jumping brother," revealed to Xu Xiang that Liao Guopei, the "Shadowless Kick of Chancheng," was the "evil Zhuang Fuchun Road," Sun Guodong has reopened the investigation, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

How to check?
Hongyue Investment is a good direction.

This time, Sun Guodong did not contact Sun Yiheng. Instead, he used the excuse of "wanting to increase leverage" to meet with several client managers from Hongyue Investment's Hangzhou headquarters.

At first, he didn't succeed because Liu Hua knew that Zhang Yang wanted to conceal his "Fuchun Road" identity. He not only "packaged" all the account managers and transaction managers from the Hangzhou headquarters and sent them to the Yunnan branch, but also found a new batch of account managers and transaction managers for the Hangzhou headquarters, making it almost seamless.

However, what seemed like a flawless plan actually had a loophole. Sun Guodong changed his approach and paid these account managers to check the settlement statements of several key milestones of Hongyue Investment.

Using criteria such as Rhine Biologics and Jianfeng Group, they actually found the original securities trading account. Through internal inquiries, they discovered that the account manager in charge of the securities account was named Zhang Xiaolong, a graduate of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics.

Without hesitation, Sun Guodong and Shu Yimin went to southern Yunnan to talk with Zhang Xiaolong, and the three of them returned after several days.

"Hello, Brother Xiang, I admire you so much, I never thought I would actually meet you."

Zhang Xiaolong was somewhat excited.

Hearing that he was meeting Xu Xiang, he specially changed his clothes and styled his hair.

"Hello."

Xu Xiang nodded in response, then looked at Sun Guodong and asked, "What have we been tricked out of?"

Before Sun Guodong could speak, Shu Yimin interjected, "Zhang Yang is the real Fuchun Road guy. We've been fooled by the guy who jumped off the building!"

"What???"

Xu Xiang was immediately flustered, his voice rising several decibels, clearly unable to believe that Zhang Yang was the one from "Fuchun Road".

“It’s true. Let Manager Zhang Xiaolong say it. He was Zhang Yang’s account manager when he started leveraged stock trading.” Shu Yimin looked at Zhang Xiaolong, gesturing for him to speak.

Zhang Xiaolong didn't rush to speak, but instead looked at Sun Guodong and said, "Brother Sun, it's the 50 you mentioned, do you think it's possible..."

“Xu Xiang, the leader of the Ningbo Limit-Up Daredevil Team, is here. Do you think we would owe you 50 yuan for your hard work?” Sun Guodong said unhappily.

"No, no." Zhang Xiaolong quickly waved his hand, no longer hiding anything, and told the whole story:

“At the end of April this year, Tao Yuang suddenly called me and said that a junior brother wanted to use leverage to trade stocks. That was the first time I met Zhang Yang. I remember that day very clearly. He took 20 yuan and used 5 times leverage to increase his principal to 100 million yuan. His trading style was very aggressive and he almost never experienced a large drawdown.”

"Then, I forget which day it was, he brought a girl, probably a female classmate, and asked her to invest in him, which brought his leveraged account to 6.9 million. Immediately afterwards, he made more than 10 million in profit through Rhine Biologics and Jianfeng Group."

"and…"

"and…"

Zhang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment.

"And what? Tell me quickly, I'm dying to know!" Ma Xinqi was clearly losing his composure; he hadn't expected Zhang Yang to be so secretive.

"Can you add some money?" It wasn't that Zhang Xiaolong wanted to raise the price, but if word got out, he would truly offend Zhang Yang.

"I'll add 10 to your account, stop dawdling," Sun Guodong urged.

"It was you who controlled Rhine Biologics. The first time the stock was dumped at a critical point was your doing," Zhang Xiaolong said quickly in one breath.

"???"

"???"

"???"

Xu Xiang, Sun Guodong, and Ma Xinqi all looked confused.

They haven't forgotten that when Rhine Biologics and Jianfeng Group failed to become the leading company, they tried to stabilize Rhine Biologics' stock price to prevent panic from spreading, but instead encountered a sell-off.

"It turns out to be him!"

"Damn, so that's the guy. He looks decent enough, but I never expected him to do such immoral things behind the scenes!"

"I really misjudged him. It turns out that Fuchun Road isn't the Invisible Kick, but Zhang Yang, the Joker God whom retail investors admire the most!"

Unlike others who were criticizing him, Xu Xiang remained silent with a furrowed brow.

He suddenly realized that "Fuchun Road" might not be a person; to be precise, it might be a trading organization, similar to a department within a company.

"Damn that guy who jumped off a building! He's in cahoots with Zhang Yang; he's misleading us." Shu Yimin sounded somewhat agitated.

"I've really been tricked."

Ma Xinqi finally understood why Sun Guodong and Shu Yimin said they had been tricked as soon as they came in.

"Not necessarily." Xu Xiang closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "There must be something we don't know about this."

As he said those words, he suddenly realized Zhang Yang's terrifying trading talent.

It's not hard to deduce from Zhang Xiaolong's words that Zhang Yang's initial capital was 20 yuan, and the other 118 million yuan was borrowed from others.

Assuming that "Fuchun Road" is indeed flamboyant, then he earned more than 5 million yuan in just six months, which is definitely a life-changing success story.

"Did he make money first, or did he join the mysterious poker organization first?" Xu Xiang asked himself.

If you make money first and then join the mysterious poker organization, then everything makes sense. After all, joining the organization maximizes your profits, and Caiyan.com can also accelerate its rise.

But if Zhang Yang joined the mysterious poker organization first, then he might be someone's front man, which would match up with what Liu Hua, the CEO of Hongyue Group, said.

After careful consideration, Xu Xiang tentatively analyzed: "Zhang Yang should have made money first, and his trading talent was discovered by Liu Hua of the mysterious poker organization. He was then introduced into the organization, and then Zhang Yang used the organization's resources to quickly develop and expand the scale of Caiyan.com."

"That's it. This explains why Liu Hua said that Fuchun Road was his front man, but it wasn't his front man; it was the organization's front man!"

"But why did the guy who jumped off the building say that Shadowless Kick is the real Fuchun Road? Could it be that Shadowless Kick has already joined this mysterious poker organization and has been playing dumb all along?"

Xu Xiang would sometimes appear enlightened, and at other times his brows would furrow. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaolong became increasingly uneasy. All he wanted now was to grab the money and leave to start a new life.
