Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 402 Guan Sheng Deceives Luo Ze
"We've reached the door. Do you need me to help you down?"

"No, no, no... Please leave right after I get off the bus, please..."

Shen An'an was genuinely afraid, afraid that she would mess things up again.

All she hopes for now is for things to stabilize and for everyone to get what they want.

"Okay, you go back first. I'll wait at the door for a while, and I'll come in if there are any problems."

"No, no, no! I'll solve the problem myself, please give me a chance, okay? Really..."

Shen An'an looked terrified, and her expression became pleading.

Seeing this, Lin Lang nodded: "Alright, you go back first. I'll wait for two minutes. If nothing happens within two minutes, I'll leave."

"Okay, thank you, thank you..."

Shen An'an then opened the car door with relief, took a step, and walked inside.

Lin Lang kept an eye on Shen An'an's house, knowing that if her family noticed anything amiss, they would definitely come out to check.

I just waited and waited...

They waited in vain for anyone.

Then, Shen An'an sent a message: "My mom isn't in the living room, she's in the backyard. She didn't see me go out. I'm fine, don't worry."

"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to see you in a while."

"Hmm."

Lin Lang turned around and drove out of the villa area.

Although he has a house here, he doesn't live there for the time being.

He didn't go to Bingning's house, but drove straight back to his hometown.

After all, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I need to go home for the night and chat with my family.

Lin Lang would not comment on Ms. Xu's ideas.

He won't interfere in anything other than work-related matters, because if he does, the problems will fall on his shoulders.

In the future, no matter what my mother does, she will probably ask for his opinion.

If the whole world focuses on him, he'll be so tired he won't want to do anything.

If the whole world were to operate according to his will, it would be utterly uninteresting, and his life would become a program he had set himself.

After dinner, the group sat on the sofa chatting. Lin Yuliang said, "Langlang, the county is going to hold a charity auction in a while, and they'll be auctioning some things. I received an invitation. What do you think? Should I go?"

"Yes, I'll definitely go. How much will it cost?"

"This... I think it starts at one thousand."

"It's not much. I'll transfer two million into your account. Spend it as you see fit. What will you mainly auction?"

"It mainly consists of handicrafts from the county."

"Then buy it if you need to, even if you don't need it, it's okay. It's a good way to do charity, so don't worry about such things. Mom, why don't you go and participate in some county activities when you have time? It's no fun staying at home all the time."

Ms. Xu said, "How could I possibly go to such an occasion?"

"It's just like going to a farmers market. There's nothing special about it. You go in, eat something, drink some tea, and when it's time for the auction, you just name a price. If someone else bids, you don't have to. Of course, if you really like something, it doesn't matter. Just give me a call if you don't have enough money."

Parents need to learn how to spend money and get involved in things.

Most importantly, Lin Lang must change the old couple's stingy personality.

Being frugal was normal in the past, since my family was poor and saving money depended entirely on being thrifty. But that's no longer possible.

Tonight's dinner included several freshly prepared dishes, as well as two leftovers from lunch, which my mother couldn't bear to throw away.

Another thing is shopping. I like to buy cheap everyday items, like slippers that cost a few dollars, rice that costs two dollars and two jiao per kilogram, etc.

It's not a big problem, but if you keep doing this and don't know how to enjoy life, then all the money you earn will be wasted.

……

That night, Lin Lang received a message from Mi Xiaofan. Mi Xiaofan said that they were currently in Xiangcheng, mainly looking for location shooting. There were many famous landmarks there, including city buildings and various scenic spots.

Lin Lang will be going there tomorrow. After two days of filming, he will meet Yan Li in the snow area to shoot some material for Mi Xiaofan's female internet celebrity. After that, Lin Lang will want to do his own thing on his own.

After all, the current stock market is a grueling market, and Tianjin Capital's funds have reached a stage where explosive growth is unlikely. Most importantly, even if they wanted to, there wouldn't be any, as there simply aren't enough stocks in the market to accommodate that much capital.

The amount of capital in the A-share market has very limited room for further growth, unless Lin Lang finishes laying the groundwork and starts listing his own products.

When the funds are available, they can be distributed under the name of Tianjin Hybrid Selection to expand the capacity.

For Tianjin Capital, the only way to break through the current predicament is to expand into overseas markets. However, they cannot obtain enough foreign exchange, and Lin Lang is unwilling to give up his share from Tianjin Global Selection.

After all, the current position is not yet fully invested, and Tianjin Global Selection can currently maximize its profits.

"You're leaving tomorrow, would you like me to see you off?"

Bingning sent a message.

"Isn't Sister Bing feeling unwell?"

"There's always something that can be done, as long as you're comfortable."

"I might be back in half a month. If you're not feeling well, Bingjie, rest early and wait until next time you come back."

"So considerate."

"It's only right to be considerate of Sister Bing. Go to sleep now, you still have to take me to the high-speed rail station tomorrow."

"Okay, Dad."

……

Guan Sheng would check the holdings of Tianjin Mixed Selection every day. In particular, when he saw that Tianjin Mixed Selection had made early investments in liquor consumption and was continuously increasing its buying power, he knew that Lin Lang was fulfilling his original promise.

This also means that everything is proceeding according to Lin Lang's plan, without any deviation.

If Lin Lang wants to gain control of the market, the first thing he needs to do is to get other funds out of those core stocks.

For example, his investments in new energy and semiconductors.

New energy and semiconductors are among the sectors with the greatest potential for growth in the A-share market. Any stock investor knows that for the market to perform well, it must first boost the technology sector. Big tech stocks can generate hype, attract more capital, and are more likely to be perceived as valuable by retail investors.

The essence of stocks is whether someone is willing to pay a higher price to buy them. If no one is willing to pay a higher price, then it is meaningless.

Lin Lang first used the shareholding disclosure mechanism to get those people to sell the stocks related to their shareholding disclosure, and those stocks covered the core of the new energy and semiconductor themes.

They can't bypass those core stocks and try to boost others; even a fool would know that someone is deliberately targeting Tianjin Capital.

Moreover, once other stocks are driven up, and people find that the core stocks haven't risen much, retail investors will rush to the core stocks that Tianjin Capital has acquired, because the cost-effectiveness is just too high.

Therefore, it's absolutely not advisable to push the price up; in fact, it's necessary to drive the market down, causing the entire sector to plummet and deterring retail investors from investing.

As a result, the core stock holdings of those established mutual funds will be lost.

In addition, in order to compete with Tianjin Capital, they urgently needed to produce results, so the liquor consumption sector became their target.

While the potential for growth in liquor consumption may be limited, the valuations of those stocks are low, with most having a price-to-earnings ratio of only 15.

Compared to the average P/E ratio of 50 for tech stocks, the liquor consumption sector still has at least two to three times the potential. Add to that some off-market operations that could boost those companies' revenue by a billion or two, and the potential is even greater, easily reaching four or five times.

For those people, from the moment Tianjin Capital made its move, only two choices remained.

Either pretend you don't know and do what you have to do, or you can only choose another direction.

Clearly, they couldn't swallow this insult.

Having been scolded by Yan Li and Lin Lang, and with Tianjin Capital's clear stance of not joining their group, they naturally had no desire to help carry the sedan chair.

After all, the restrictions on shareholding are only for six months, and any major market trend cannot last for six months.

They can't increase their stakes to manipulate the market, because once Tianjin Capital starts dumping shares, their large funds won't be able to get out.

They can only wait until Tianjin Capital has completely stabilized and decided on its direction before they can invest a small amount, make a quick profit, and run away, thus creating some obstacles for Tianjin Capital.

Lin Lang's original plan was to force them into consuming baijiu (Chinese liquor), and he has now succeeded.

Furthermore, Tianjin Hybrid Selection entered the market after they had already started, and since Tianjin Capital's holdings are not visible, no one knows how much liquor consumption stock Tianjin Capital holds.

Because they need more funds to engage in the consumption of baijiu (Chinese liquor), some technology funds have even illegally entered the baijiu market, which is why there is such a thing as "sauce-flavored technology" in the market.

"Amazing, amazing..."

Guan Sheng now understands clearly that those established public funds have gone all in on baijiu (Chinese liquor).

With hundreds of billions invested, it's impossible for them to withdraw.

In other words, this round of liquor market rally must go up, and the higher it goes, the more funds they need. Their funds are not unlimited, so they have to draw them from other core stocks.

How much they can get depends on how much they want to boost liquor consumption.

However, problems certainly exist for Tianjin Capital.

No matter what, they are just a company, and they can't keep taking chips indefinitely.

For Guan Sheng, it was essential to ensure that Tianjin Capital could continue operating.

On the one hand, we should try our best to secure foreign exchange for Tianjin Capital so that they can earn money in overseas markets and use it to support the domestic economy.

On the other hand, it's about finding help for Tianjin Capital.

Where can Tianjin Capital find suitable partners?
There is only one: the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund.

The National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (hereinafter referred to as the National Big Fund) is nominally the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund, but in reality it includes many other funds.

For example, medical insurance and pension funds both have their own fund teams, and over the years, the overall scale has become quite considerable.

They are actually a type of national large-scale investment fund, but with the purpose of making investment profits.

The integrated circuit industry investment fund aims to support related domestic industries, with making money being secondary.

Guan Sheng was looking for the latter.

There is a lot of money in China that needs to be invested, but investing in the stock market is the riskiest option and usually accounts for a very small percentage of the total.

But now, Guan Sheng has to shamelessly continue to seek their help.

Especially in the last few days, he heard that Lin Lang was no longer with Tianjin Capital and had gone back to his hometown to run his Big Fish Media.

In Guan Sheng's view, this was a signal that Lin Lang was deliberately giving him, which also meant that he was currently facing difficulties, and that Lin Lang would naturally return once these difficulties were resolved.

That must be the case; otherwise, Lin Lang would have no reason not to keep an eye on the two QDII funds and instead invest in Big Fish Media.

After all, the management fees that Tianjin Capital earns every day are enough for Big Fish Media to make money for half a year.

So, he first called Luo Ze, as he still needed Luo Ze to work on this together.

A few minutes later, after he explained the situation on the phone, Luo Ze immediately jumped up and said, "Have you no shame? Do you think I can make this decision? If I could, I would have done it already. Why would I have waited until now?"

"What's your rush? Don't you want to make more money? To put it bluntly, have your funds made any money over the years? Although buying into companies with long-term, stable, and high dividends is definitely not a problem, it's hard to see any returns in a year or two. You might even face book losses and end up taking over someone else's losses."

"But if you look at a timeframe of ten or twenty years, that kind of investment is the most stable."

"Forget about ten or twenty years. How many companies have been listed on the A-share market for twenty years? And how many of them can still pay stable dividends now? Can dividends keep up with the decline in stock price?"

"Then there's nothing I can do."

"No, you have! Haven't you ever thought about profiting from the success alongside Tianjin Capital?"

"have not thought."

"You don't believe in Lin Lang's trading skills?"

"Definitely not, it's just that things are quite difficult to handle."

"With profits of three, five, or even ten times right in front of you, is it still difficult to handle? Buddy, you really need to break out of your narrow-mindedness. Even the best company will have a day when it stops making money. Apart from bank stocks, is it worth betting on other companies for twenty years? Besides, you can achieve returns that would take ten or twenty years in just a few months or a year or two. Why wait so long?"

How can you be so sure that you'll definitely make money?

"Lin Lang! Making money is as easy for him as drinking water. If it weren't for the relatively limited financial instruments and numerous restrictions in China, he wouldn't need to do this at all. Let me put it this way, Lin Lang wouldn't even give a second glance to a company that doesn't have three to five times the potential. It's only now that there's a chance to copy his homework without breaking the rules. But when the real market conditions arrive, I'm afraid there won't be any chance to enter the market."

Guan Sheng was talking nonsense. How could he possibly predict three to five times the space?

CATL can't possibly break the one trillion mark, can it?
Muyuan can't possibly exceed 500 billion, can it?

Surely BYD can't also break the trillion-yuan mark, right?
It's unrealistic, but it's still good for fooling people.
