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

Chapter 65 Chief Xu Xiang

Ningbo City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.

Ningbo is located in East China, bordering Shaoxing to the west and Taicheng to the south. It is a city with abundant tourism resources.

However, it does not rely on tourism, or rather, it has two "economic hearts": one is tourism, and the other is port cargo transportation.

In 2008, the total cargo throughput of Ningbo Port reached 3.62 million tons, ranking second in China, and the container throughput reached 1084.6 million TEUs, a year-on-year increase of 17.5%, ranking fourth in China and eighth in the world.

A city with cultural heritage and a port naturally has wealth among its people.

At this moment, in the VIP room on the 4th floor of the Galaxy Securities business department on Jiefang South Road in Ningbo, more than a dozen unremarkable men dressed in ordinary short-sleeved shirts were staring intently at their respective computer screens. After a series of operations, someone was the first to cheer.

"They followed! Retail investors followed!"

"Seal the board! Seal the board!"

"One million shares!"

"130 million! Holy crap, the order book is moving really fast. Are other speculative funds involved too?"

"Nonsense! The H1N1 flu outbreak started in Mexico and the United States in March. The market tried to speculate on it twice, but we stopped it with our money. Now that the WHO has confirmed it, we have plenty of chips on hand. If we don't push it up for ten consecutive days, it would be a waste of all our efforts over this period!"

The VIP room, which was about 100 square meters, was filled with smoke. The more they talked, the more excited they became, and the faster they extinguished their cigarettes. They had been "starving" for more than two months and were just waiting for this ticket to have a good meal.

At this moment, the only non-smoker, a middle-aged man with an ordinary face and frameless, scholarly glasses, calmly spoke up: "Don't let your guard down. All the funds are being poured in. Whether we can have enough to eat this year depends on this Rhine Biologics."

The man's voice wasn't loud, but it was very penetrating, and every word he uttered reached the ears of his dozen or so companions.

After he spoke, the relaxed group immediately stopped smiling, as if he held absolute authority within the team.

The middle-aged man with glasses was none other than Xu Xiang, known in the A-share market as the "One-Word Soul-Severing Blade" and the "Grand Master".

Xu Xiang was born in Ningbo in 1978. He loved reading biographies of billionaires since he was a child. After reading Warren Buffett's autobiography, he plunged into the A-share market with 3 yuan at the age of 15. In less than three months, he lost all his principal.

It is worth mentioning that before December 16, 1996, there were no limits on the rise and fall of A-shares, similar to US and Hong Kong stocks, where a ridiculous 99.99% drop could occur in the next second.

However, with the emergence of limit-up and limit-down stocks, Xu Xiang developed the "limit-up trading strategy," which focuses on strong stocks and leading stocks.

It was this enlightenment, coupled with a 10 yuan grant from his cousin Ma Xinqi, that enabled him to accumulate over a million yuan in less than two months, and by the age of 25, he had accumulated 1 million yuan.

In the process of making money, he also formed the "Ningbo Limit-Up Daredevil Team" with Sun Guodong, Zhang Jianbin and 20 others, with Galaxy Securities Ningbo Jiefang South Road branch as the core, and aggressively traded A-shares.

Xu Xiang, sitting in his trading seat, had no expression on his face, but his brows exuded confidence and high spirits.

After all, at the age of 31, having a financial scale of over 50 billion yuan, who wouldn't be full of pride and confidence?
The surge in Rhine Biologics' stock price to the daily limit today was orchestrated by Xu Xiang.

He was also well aware that while Rhine Biologics was not the leading producer of shikimic acid, it was the easiest stock to manipulate and possessed the "shikimic acid" concept.

According to Rhine Biologics' Q1 2009 report, its operating revenue was RMB 1670.39 million, a year-on-year decrease of 37.47%, compared to RMB 2671.47 million in the same period of 2008.

The company suffered a net loss of 87.63 yuan, compared to a net profit of 100.93 yuan in the same period last year, representing a year-on-year decrease of 186.82%. The return on net assets was -0.36%, compared to 0.41% in the same period last year.

The most crucial factor is the total number of shareholders, which is only 10963.

In summary, Rhine Biologics is a small-cap stock with poor performance, easily manipulated price movements, and little public attention.

What stocks do speculative investors like the most?

Blue-chip stocks?

Of course not. Even if Xu Xiang had 50 billion yuan right now, if you let him control the stock prices of the four major banks, he'd probably be left with nothing but his underwear.

Speculative funds typically favor stocks with poor performance, low market attention, and small market capitalization that are hot concept stocks.

To shake out retail investors in such stocks, simply drive up the price by about 5% for a few days, and they will obediently hand over their shares.

This is why some stocks that are clearly performing so poorly that they are about to be delisted are often the potential high-growth stocks.

……

Shanghai, the capital of China.

Commercial street outside Shanghai University of Finance and Economics campus.

In the dine-in area of ​​the authentic Guixi rice noodle shop, Zhang Yang slurped down his noodles while also keeping an eye on his Baidu Tieba account's private messages.

Just over an hour ago, after identifying the true leader in shikimic acid, he began thinking about leveraging external resources.

The first person he thought of was the third-tier speculative investor known as "Jumping Off a Building".

Of course.

One guy jumping off a building alone isn't enough.

What Zhang Yang really wanted to leverage was the other speculative investors who, together with the "jumping-off-the-building guy," were controlling Changan Automobile; to be precise, it was this team of speculative investors.

When Zhang Yang shared his trading experience on Tieba, the two briefly exchanged views in the comments section. The "jumping-off-the-building" guy also posted a screenshot of his profits from Changan Automobile.

It's not hard to see from the details of individual stock returns that he is one of the speculative funds involved in controlling the market, because without prior positioning, it would be impossible to achieve such a high return.

However, more than an hour passed, and the man who jumped off the building still hadn't replied to his private messages.

Zhang Yang wasn't entirely confident either, after all, "Snatching the Dragon" involved a battle between large amounts of capital in the market. However, for an adult who wanted to improve, trying meant there was a chance of success, while not trying meant the chances were zero.

For example, if you go out and strike up a conversation, as long as you persist, you can eventually get the contact information of a few people of the opposite sex, and the relationship might even develop further. But if you don't even have their contact information, there is no possibility of developing a relationship.

However, Zhang Yang had no idea that the private message he sent had already been seen by Chen Sanrong, the "jumping brother," but he simply chose not to pay attention to it.

As a third-tier speculative investor, Chen Sanrong had already learned through his internal information network who was controlling Rhine Biologics.

Sending him to deal with Xu Xiang is no less suicidal than sending Benbo'erba to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples in "Journey to the West."

The 1000 million or so in his possession is not even a fraction of what others have.

After commenting that it was "wishful thinking," Chen Sanrong unfollowed Zhang Yang's Joker account and blocked him.

Ever since he infiltrated the VIP research report group and saw Zhang Yang selling market research reports to his fans, he felt that Zhang Yang had no bottom line and wouldn't even spare his fans.

Looking back now, he underestimated Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang not only had no bottom line, but was also a bit delusional and delusional.

After finishing his noodles, Zhang Yang noticed that the other party hadn't replied for a long time. He wondered if the message had been scrolled down and he hadn't seen it, so he sent another one.

[Message failed to send. Due to the recipient's privacy settings, they are unable to receive your message.]
The sudden appearance of the red exclamation mark made Zhang Yang pause for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure and calmly closed the window.

Being rejected is a very normal thing for someone who has been through the ups and downs of life, and he won't dwell on why the other person blocked him without saying a word.

Since they can't rely on the external force of speculative capital, they can only abandon the idea of ​​"intercepting the dragon" and instead try to get a piece of the pie.
