Chapter 94 A Great Start to 2006

January 4, 2006, the first trading day after the New Year's Day holiday.

The temperature in Deep Town was unusually low, with continuous rain, but inside the Ghost Fleet Command Center, the atmosphere was as hot as summer.

On the giant screen, the Shanghai Composite Index closed at 1161 points on the last trading day of 2005, achieving a gain of more than 50% for the year, and the bull market pattern was undoubtedly established.

Zhao Shanhe and his team arrived two hours early to check every system and ensure everything was in perfect working order.

During the holiday, international non-ferrous metal prices continued to surge, with LME copper breaking through the historical high of $4400 per ton. US tech stocks performed strongly, driven by Amazon and Google.

Domestically, the media is filled with positive news about the complete success of the shareholding reform and the increased flexibility of the RMB exchange rate.

"All systems are functioning normally, and the external markets are all very positive. It's a foregone conclusion that A-shares will open higher today," Zhao Shanhe reported to Lei Guoliang, who arrived on time, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Our holdings, especially Hudong Heavy Machinery, Yunnan Copper, and Zhongxin Securities, are the core leaders in this market rally, and today they are very likely to be—"

Before the words "good start" could even be uttered, the opening auction began at 9:15.

The numbers on the screen are flashing. Hudong Heavy Machinery opened 8.5% higher! Yunnan Copper opened 6.2% higher! Zhongxin Securities opened 5.1% higher!

Almost all holdings opened higher, far exceeding the broader market! The market capitalization of Ghost Fleet had already jumped significantly before the market opened.

Lei Guoliang remained calm, merely nodding slightly. All of this was within expectations. The real drama would unfold after the market opened.

The market officially opened at 9:30.

A surge of buying orders came like a tsunami, and the leading stocks saw almost no pullback, with their prices soaring!

Inside the command center, only the clatter of keyboards, the whirring of screen data refresh, and increasingly heavy breathing remained.

The young quantitative engineer gaped in astonishment, while the female risk control manager instinctively clutched her chest.

Zhao Shanhe stared intently at the screen, his palms sweating. He knew prices would rise, but he hadn't expected them to be this crazy, this irrational! This wasn't investment; it was robbery!

It's a panic-driven rush by funds towards a limited number of core assets that represent the most certainty of a bull market!

Lei Guoliang remained standing in front of the giant screen, hands behind his back, his figure upright. Only those who knew him best could discern the turmoil within him from the slightly tense lines of his shoulders.

The frenzied scene before us is slowly overlapping with and confirming the super bull market that lasted for two years, buried countless people, but also created countless legends, deep in our memories.

This is the force. This is the torrent of capital that was unleashed by the shareholding reform, attracted by the expectation of RMB appreciation, driven by rapid economic growth, and ignited by the long-suppressed desire for wealth.

At 10:00 AM, Hudong Heavy Machinery failed to hit the daily limit and began to fluctuate at a high level. However, other stocks followed suit, especially the securities sector, which surged collectively driven by a sharp increase in trading volume. Zhongxin Securities led the charge, hitting the daily limit!

The fleet's net worth skyrocketed, rising by over 6%. In just over half an hour, the net worth increased by 140 million, bringing the total assets on paper to over 2.37 billion.

Even after deducting the 1 billion yuan in bank loans, there was still over 1.37 billion yuan. From 350 million to over 1.37 billion yuan, it only took less than half a year to make a net profit of over 1 billion yuan.

This is a much faster way to make money than Anjia Tianxia, ​​whose net profit for the entire year of 2005 was only 3...

More than 100 million yuan.

At 10:30, Lei Guoliang's phone vibrated. It was Lu Chaoyang.

"Mr. Lei, have you checked the market yet?" Lu Chaoyang's voice was unusually urgent.

"look in."

"This is insane! Just one hour after the market opened, the combined trading volume of the two exchanges is already close to yesterday's total. Our company's website traffic has surged by 300% compared to the same time period! Inquiries are exploding!"

Many branch office staff reported that the number of people opening accounts and inquiring about stocks has suddenly increased several times over today! Lu Chaoyang quickly reported, "This market trend is a huge stimulus to the housing market, and the spillover effect of funds will be very obvious. President Su and President Shen have probably already sensed it."

"Okay, I understand." Lei Guoliang hung up the phone. The frenzy in the capital market will spread to the highly interconnected real estate market at the fastest speed.

Demand for improved housing and investment will be fully activated. In 2006, Anjia Tianxia will stand at an unprecedented super opportunity driven by both the stock market and the real estate market.

He looked at the screen. At 10:45, the fleet's total market value jumped and became a brand new, breathtaking number: 23.73 billion yuan.

Lei Guoliang slowly exhaled. The first heartbeat of 2006 was strong and powerful, foreshadowing an even more insane and dangerous year.

At the morning close, the Shanghai Composite Index surged 3.2%, and the market capitalization of Ghost Fleet remained firmly above 23.7 billion yuan.

The first trading day of 2006, with an almost violent force, heralded the arrival of a new wave of wealth.

Almost at the same time the stock market opened and surged, Su Wanqing also felt an unusual tremor in the air in her office in Shanghai.

On her computer screen, one side displayed real-time transaction data for Anjia Tianxia's East China region, and the other side showed a stock market information software that had just been opened.

Although she doesn't trade stocks, she has an extremely keen sense of the capital market.

"Xiao Chen, immediately retrieve the changes in page views and inquiries for properties priced over 500 million on our website over the past hour."

"Focus on the top-tier areas of Lujiazui, Xintiandi, and the western suburbs." Su Wanqing picked up the internal phone and quickly instructed her assistant.

Ten minutes later, the data arrived. Sure enough, starting from the stock market opening at 9:30, online attention to high-end properties began to surge abnormally, and by 10:30, the month-on-month increase exceeded 150%!

Consultation questions have also begun to shift from specific apartment types and prices to more investment-oriented directions such as the investment value of the community, future appreciation potential, and ease of liquidation.

"The wealth effect of the stock market is beginning to spill over into top-tier real estate—" Su Wanqing murmured to herself, a sharp glint in her eyes.

This happened faster and more dramatically than expected. For ordinary people with basic housing needs, a stock market boom may mean they can no longer afford to buy a house, as funds are being withdrawn and flowed into the stock market.

However, for high-net-worth individuals who already possess substantial assets, the illusion of wealth and the need for asset allocation brought about by profit-taking or increased unrealized gains in the stock market will lead them to immediately turn their attention to core properties in core cities.

This presents both a tremendous opportunity and a formidable challenge. The opportunity lies in the potential for a new surge in transaction volume and prices in the high-end market.

The challenge is that clients will become more savvy and impatient, demanding higher levels of service expertise and asset allocation advice.

At the same time, market competition will become more intense, attracting a flood of funds and speculators.

She immediately convened an emergency meeting of the Deep Blue Project core team.

"Everyone, you've all seen the market movements," Su Wanqing said bluntly. "Many of our clients have probably seen their stock accounts rise significantly today. What are they thinking now? Are they taking profits and securing their gains, or are they continuing to add to their positions, hoping for even greater returns?"

Or—should you cash out a portion and look for safer assets that can better preserve their value in the long term?

She paused, her gaze sweeping over the members of the Star Glory team: "No matter what they choose, top-tier real estate, especially in Shanghai, will be one of the most important and urgent options on their asset allocation list."

"Therefore, our Deep Blue Project must be upgraded immediately!" she said decisively. "From high-end real estate services to asset allocation concierge services for high-net-worth clients! We must proactively provide our clients with asset allocation advice based on the synergy of stocks and real estate!"

She quickly deployed the following: 1. The former investment banking elites in the Xingyao team should immediately take the lead and coordinate with General Manager Lu at headquarters to hire a reliable, independent senior securities analyst to provide our core clients with a weekly, non-public report on capital markets and core asset allocation.

The content focuses on the impact of macroeconomics, sectors, and policies on the real estate and stock markets, and does not involve specific stock recommendations. The key is to guide clients to think about asset allocation ratios and timing.

2. The Shanghai No. 1 Butler Team immediately conducted a rapid asset health assessment for all signed clients and potential target clients. Through skillful communication, they learned about their recent stock market investment situation and asset allocation ideas, and then provided us with our carefully prepared concise guidance on core city real estate allocation strategies under different market conditions.

3. Accelerate the establishment of the Yangtze River Delta High-End Asset Alliance. Su Wanqing decided to move the first preparatory meeting, originally scheduled for after the Spring Festival, to this weekend! The agenda will include alternative asset allocation opportunities in the context of a bull market, and two well-known figures in the private equity and trust industry with unique insights into real estate have been quietly added to the list of invited guests.

"What we're trying to do isn't to encourage clients to sell their houses to invest in stocks, or sell stocks to buy houses," Su Wanqing concluded, her tone calm yet powerful.

"We provide the most professional asset allocation perspective and channels to help them maintain a clear head amidst the fervor and make more favorable long-term decisions among numerous choices."
