Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 170 A Warning for the Future
+7.85%?

"He really managed to keep the theme going today."

"It's definitely abnormal that the market didn't crash today. Is it because people have been holding back all year and funds are looking for an opportunity to make some year-end bonuses?"

"That's not right either. Funds won't get involved that early. They need to coordinate with some positive news to cover it up. At least there isn't any particularly good news right now."

Yan Keming was somewhat surprised by the strong net asset value of Tianjin Hybrid Selection on the second day. However, it is true that both themes continued their strong performance from yesterday, so this data is to be expected.

It does require certain techniques to sustain two themes, but it's only the second day, so we can't tell anything yet.

If the market trend continues into tomorrow or the day after, then things will become more interesting.

So far, he hasn't seen anything amazing.

It's simply a matter of taking an extremely risky path; if it collapses even for a single day, all our efforts will be wasted.

……

After the net asset value was released the following day, Liang Jiwei's group chat erupted with unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Am I seeing things? Eight percent? You're telling me, you can make eight percent in a day by buying funds?! Holy crap!"

"This is insane! I've never seen such an outrageous increase in volume. I bought an additional 50,000 yuan worth of shares yesterday, but I didn't buy enough!"

"I hereby officially declare that Yan Li is my one and only goddess. From this day forward, apart from my mother, no woman can replace her in my heart, no one!"

"I just checked the comments section and gave a scathing rebuke to those who mocked us before! Damn it, they deserve to be exploited like韭菜 (a metaphor for being taken advantage of)!"

"You're only replying now? I've been battling them since last night, and I've replied to over a thousand messages already!"

"This is absolutely insane! I see tons of people in the comments section buying it. This is practically robbery!"

Liang Jiwei looked at his account; his income for the day was close to 48,000 yuan.

Forty-eight thousand a day!
After seeing the net asset value, it took him a long time to recover.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the anime games he used to be obsessed with suddenly lost their appeal.

He knew before that he wouldn't make a lot of money, and tens of thousands of yuan wouldn't be enough to change his current situation. His future was predictable.

Either you live your whole life alone, or you marry a divorced woman and start a chaotic second half of your life.

He felt it was more likely the latter, that he would be nothing more than a tool for others his entire life.

But earning 48,000 a day!

If he didn't have much of an emotional reaction after earning 29,000 yuan on the first day, it's because he was still confused about the future, and luck always comes in life; he wasn't the kind of person who was extremely unlucky.

But starting the next day, everything was completely different.

Two days is enough time for him to develop a new worldview.

He invested a full 580,000 yuan; what if he could just lie there and double his money?

That means he has over 600,000 in cash assets.

Indeed, he worked for nearly ten years and must have earned a total of at least 600,000 yuan.

The problem is that the money arrives in the account every month, and after deducting various expenses, there's nothing left.

But now it's different. This means he can get a lot of money, a lot of money that he can use to buy a house and a car.

Even if he doesn't buy, he can put it in a fixed deposit as a source of security.

If he had money, he would never live this kind of life.

He couldn't resist and posted his first video on his account.

The daily income was over 47,000.

He just wanted to show off, after all, this was one of the few opportunities in his life he could have to boast.

After calming down, he realized he was overthinking things; after all, the future was still uncertain.

Not only him, but many others have also earned money on short video platforms.

Even if they are restricted by the platform because they don't understand the rules.

However, this consistently increased the exposure for Yan Li.

With the support of hundreds or even thousands of smaller accounts, Yan Li's traffic continues to rise even though she hasn't posted any videos in the past few days.

Many people started searching for the full story in Yan Li's comment section.

This is a top-tier rich and beautiful woman, a financial expert, who founded her own fund company and made a lot of money for many people who followed her in just two days.

The character's entire persona is incredibly well-developed.

Humans are interested in money.

And coincidentally, Yan Li's side can fulfill some people's fantasies about money.

Therefore, attention began to gradually increase...

Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of new fans every day.

This might not seem like a particularly big deal on the platform, but every day people gain a large number of fans because of their videos going viral, and every day internet celebrities become famous and gain hundreds of thousands or even millions of new fans with just one or two works.

However, a large portion of the fans Yan Li gained were converted into users who subscribed to the fund.

……

He Qiang was also paying close attention to this matter, and he used his wife's identity to subscribe for 120 million yuan worth of shares.

Most of this money was borrowed by him.

After all, Lin Lang had personally approached him to discuss this matter, so he definitely had to show his appreciation.

Even if you lose money, you can't take too little.

Unexpectedly, they made over nine million on the first day.

Lin Lang's status in his heart became even more impressive.

With just a few simple arrangements, he could transform his pawnshop into the hottest used car dealership in the country, generating 40 to 50 million yuan in revenue each month. After deducting the dividends to Big Fish Media and other costs, he could still earn 3 to 4 million yuan a month.

And now, it's even more outrageous.

He runs a private equity firm and knows better than anyone how difficult it is to make money in the stock market. Tianjin Capital, to some extent, may have already broken records.

Newly issued funds that have seen a combined increase of more than 13% in the first two trading days are extremely rare among public funds, and have only been seen in private funds.

However, if we add the constraint of a scale exceeding one billion, then... it is almost impossible.

Since there's no specific record of these things, this situation can only occur during a bull market.

Furthermore, given the qualifier "not a bull market," he can guarantee that absolutely no newly issued fund could achieve this.

As for risks? There are definitely risks, but he believes that since Lin Lang can make money, he won't easily give it back.

Reasonable drawdowns are normal.

He entered the market quite early, so he's sure to make a profit.

In his mind, Lin Lang was incredibly capable, not only in managing the real economy but also in managing the financial sector.

When he was operating the Tianshui duck industry before, he could only sense that Lin Lang's methods were quite ingenious, but he didn't have any clear results to prove it.

He's losing money up there.

Now, it's equivalent to being able to cash out the very next day, which is extremely convincing.

He even considered closing his private equity firm and referring his clients to Tianjin Capital.

His clients are mostly concentrated in a few nearby cities, and they are mostly millionaires, with some even having assets exceeding 100 million yuan.

They are not only customers, but also a large part of them are shareholders, although they hold a very small share, while He Qiang has absolute say.

"Go have a meeting with them!" He Qiang felt that this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later...

If they weren't included in profitable businesses, the pressure on him would have been too great after the Tianshui duck industry scandal broke.

……

"Hey, why are you all alone today? I'll give you five minutes. If you don't send it over soon, you might not make any money tomorrow."

Yan Li was just about to rest when she received a message from Lin Lang.

Then, she quietly stuck her legs out from under the covers, took a picture, and sent it to the sender.

Even though she knew Lin Lang was joking, reverence for metaphysics was also part of the education she received from childhood.

After receiving the photos, Lin Lang asked, "Approximately how much funding do you have tomorrow?"

"It's around 420 million."

"Hmm? That means the fund size has officially exceeded two billion? The first phase of the performance-based agreement is complete."

"Hmm, do you want to end this now?"

The performance-based agreement only discussed scale, not profit.

After all, for Yan Li, scale means everything.

Even if Lin Lang brings in 1 billion from outside, the betting agreement will still be considered fulfilled.

"This is just the beginning, what do you mean 'end'? We'll talk about it later, I'm going to sleep."

"OK, good night."

Yan Lin could sense the confidence in Lin Lang's words.

The limit of the performance-based agreement is to reach a scale of 5 billion, at which point Lin Lang will be able to take away 40% of Tianjin Capital's shares.

The price is forty million.

Even if Lin Lang didn't give her money, she would still give him money if she could really go that far.

It's simply a matter of sending it directly, which presents some legal loopholes.

You have the right to take back anything you give away directly. Lin Lang didn't want to create instability for himself because of a few tens of millions.

Can the new fund reach a scale of 5 billion?
Yan Li had never dared to even think about it before.

If she can stabilize at two or three billion, that will be her first three-year plan.

For her, breaking through the 10 billion mark within ten years would mean entering another level in her life.

Yan Li didn't know when she fell asleep. Before falling asleep, she thought about many things, which were wild and without any basis.

A good biological clock allows her to wake up promptly at around 6 a.m.

Although the weather outside is getting colder, the temperature at home has been kept constant, so it doesn't affect her much.

After a quick wash and some food, I arrived at the company.

Today is indeed the most important day for her.

If we can stabilize the situation today, we will have even more funds tomorrow.

She gained 80,000 followers overnight, and the discussion in the comments section grew larger and larger. Based on her understanding of self-media, these were all users who could be converted.

Four hundred and twenty million yuan seems like a lot, but compared to the risks involved, it's hard to say.

We also need to consider the factor of excessively large positions...

The total market capitalization of the thirty-odd stocks Lin Lang selected was only around 180 billion. If all the funds were invested, it would represent 1.2% of the total.
Even for a stock with a market value of 180 billion, it would be extremely difficult to withdraw 2 billion in a short period of time.

Before the market even opened, Yan Li asked, "What are our plans for today? To withdraw or to enter?"

Regardless of the circumstances, Yan Li's actions are understandable.

After all, maintaining continuity in this kind of subject matter is very difficult, and today's 400 million or so may not be enough.

"Of course it's a two-into-three race, but it depends on the situation, and we don't know if it can be done..."

Yan Li: "So, the sentence you wrote on the last page of your document was something you were saying to yourself?"

Yan Li still remembers the sentence she saw on the last page when she opened Lin Lang's file yesterday.

"It won't wait for you there forever."

In the current context, it roughly means... Lin Lang has to do everything in his power to boost popularity and not let these two themes fail easily...

Lin Lang laughed and said, "No, I just wrote it down."

Today is nothing; the further we go on this road, the more difficult it will become.

Lin Lang brought the documents today, just like yesterday.

Today will definitely be challenging, but even with selling pressure, it won't be too great.

The market has only been trading for two days, far from the point where major players could be recklessly dumping shares.

At most, they'll just dump some shares to test the market's ability to absorb them.

If, seven or eight days later, the share price of the leading stock has nearly doubled, then the selling pressure will be unimaginably high.

Lin Lang wrote this sentence in advance to remind himself of this in a few days.

At that time, I will definitely face various trade-offs, since there are also benefits to following along.

Human nature's tendency to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune may very well lead him to choose to retreat.

But if he were to withdraw, it would be a disaster for Tianjin Capital.

Because at that time, there will be several consecutive days of sharp drop in net asset value, and fund investors will trample on each other.

Tianjin Hybrid Selection is different from other funds. Many people buy other funds and may not even look at them for months or even years.

But what about Tianjin Mixed Selection? It's all hot money. If things go wrong, hundreds of millions, even billions, could be redeemed at once.

Where will the company get the money to give them then? Even dumping shares won't provide that much capital.

The only way to survive is to keep pushing forward! We can't stop!

If we stop, we're doomed!

The financing agreement with Shen An'an has been finalized, and Lin Lang has instructed Gao Yu to invest the money using the company account.

Meanwhile, Gao Yu was also negotiating with banks about mortgage business, but this process would take some time, and Lin Lang didn't know when it would be completed.

He needs a lot of money; only with money can he keep pushing the market up.

He doesn't have the chance to lie back and wait for others to drive up the price; no one else will do that.

About ten minutes later, Lin Lang followed Yan Li into the trading room.

Once the opening auction began, a large amount of selling pressure appeared on the screen in front of Lin Lang.

Both stocks related to these themes opened three or four points lower during the pre-market auction.

This indicates that there is a huge divergence in market funds, and today may very well be a turning point.

"Open four points lower and hold; after the auction ends, the price cannot fall below four points below the opening price..."

Lin Lang then issued the instructions.

Yan Li, standing to the side, really wanted to stop Lin Lang.

With such a huge selling pressure, they only have over 400 million, they simply can't withstand it.

Even if the market manages to absorb the selling pressure, it will be difficult to find the funds needed to drive up the price.
