Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 205 Both Sides
Yan Li didn't sleep very soundly. After waking up and glancing at the online discussions, she finally understood why she hadn't been able to sleep well.

The online sentiment was completely overwhelmed.

At first, it was just about stirring up the controversy surrounding Tianjin Capital's illegal transactions, but what about now?
All the emotions were directed at liquidating Tianjin Hybrid Selection and withdrawing Tianjin Capital's holdings.

This blatant approach has become the mainstream on the internet. In the face of this trend, previous violations of rules and regulations are like greenhorns, and nobody cares at all.

The general public doesn't care who made what mistake; what they care about is what price the other party has to pay.

Everyone, in essence, wants to possess certain privileges. Reflected on the internet, this means that everyone expects things to develop in their own direction.

Seeing those who held Tianjin Mixed Selection shares make a lot of money, while I either missed the opportunity, didn't have the money, or simply didn't trust it and missed out on the profits.

Naturally, one wants to bring others down to the same level as oneself.

On the internet, only the poor have the right to feign pitifulness because too many people have a psychological advantage when facing the poor.

When a rich person pretends to be pitiful, they immediately face all sorts of criticism, except from their biased fans.

Therefore, this extreme mindset can ultimately lead to online judges, thus forming cyberbullying.

For many people, this is the thrill of conformity!

Each rhythm I set up, once the situation is defined and matches the rhythm I set, I feel a sense of pride, as if I hold the life and death of a multi-billion dollar company in my hands.

If the final outcome doesn't match the pace they set, some people will reflect on their actions, while others will become furious...

Yan Li felt like the sky had fallen!
If she hadn't known that Lin Lang was sleeping at this time, she would definitely have called to ask what was going on.

Didn't Lin Lang say he would handle it?

Judging from the current situation, her plan to briefly bring Tianjin Mixed Selection to a scale of 20 billion is doomed to fail.

Last Friday's subscription funds were only over 2 billion yuan. Adding to the original 18 billion yuan, as long as the net asset value drops below 3% at the end of the trading day, the scale can officially break through.

Under these circumstances, it is virtually impossible.

The stock is about to hit the daily limit down at the open. Based on the holding ratio of those small-cap stocks, even if other stocks don't fall, the overall net value will probably drop by five percent.

Tianjin Capital has come a long way and now has the ability to recover from its current predicament, but it is still unstable.

With the net asset value dropping so much, a lot of funds will be withdrawn.

Especially now, with the added pressure of the fast pace of the internet.

Yan Li was still unsure how much to redeem today, since the bank was closed on Saturdays and Sundays and all the data was pending confirmation, and would not be reported to Tianjin Capital.

In the two weeks since Tianjin Capital officially started operating, Yan Li felt that her emotions were stable for only one or two hours after sending the photos to Lin Lang, and never remained stable afterward.

There will always be many things that stir up your mind.

Once I got to the company, things became even more complicated.

First, we need to prepare for the approval of QDII funds and negotiate with several headhunting firms.

With the scale growing rapidly, all the previous structures are now struggling to keep up, and even expanding them two or three times wouldn't be enough.

In other words, she had already considered the difficulties of starting a business.

Just like Big Fish Media, it seems to be developing very well, but in reality, Lin Lang still has to take care of many things.

If Lin Lang becomes idle, the company will run into problems.

It's almost impossible for a newly established company to find many outstanding talents, since they already hold certain positions in other companies. Unless you offer equity and a lot of cash, it's unlikely you can poach them.

The employees at Tianjin Capital are almost all people that other companies don't want. In the financial industry, they can only do odd jobs. If you expect them to make decisions or do operations, then the company doesn't need them.

Lin Lang was able to temporarily let go of Big Fish Media mainly because of Gao Yu.

Yan Li waited until almost nine o'clock before Lin Lang arrived.

Since it was not long before the market opened, Yan Li didn't say anything. Mainly, it wouldn't matter what she said now; she could only observe today's market performance.

In the trading room, Lin Lang inquired about the day's financial situation and then began to make some position arrangements.

Then, at 9:15, the opening auction began, and in that instant, all the stocks were pushed to their daily limit down, with endless selling pressure.

Although I've had this experience before, it's different from this one.

That time, Tianjin Hybrid Selection still had positions and funds, so even though it was at a significant disadvantage, it was able to pull the market up.

Not to mention that there was still market sentiment at that time.

At this point, there wasn't enough room for maneuver. Many of the holdings already accounted for 4.8% of the total share capital, and taking another step forward would mean a takeover bid. Even the holdings with the smallest percentage of total share capital had reached 4.0%, leaving little room for further expansion.

The overwhelming comments seemed to contrast with the previous situation, and were even more intense than the rising sentiment.

This time, Shen An'an's efforts were ineffective.

Yan Li felt that the final outcome would likely be a showdown.

As Lin Lang had envisioned...

However... this time, the emotions couldn't be stirred up by simply raising a sign.

The same situation, but the methods are no longer applicable.

After the market officially opened, Yan Li felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at several leading stocks with a total of five or six hundred million yuan worth of shares on the limit-down board.

It's impossible to pry it open.

This was the first time Lin Lang had looked at the market and was completely helpless.

For half an hour after the market opened, he didn't issue a single instruction. Everyone just watched, neither buying nor selling a single share.

Huang Yusheng and his group returned to the provincial capital yesterday afternoon.

Qin Dong is a tough nut to crack now. He readily agrees to buy their chips, but he has no money.

They made very polite remarks, saying that he was definitely on Huang Yusheng's side, but that his family's money now consisted only of some fixed assets, which couldn't be liquidated in the short term. They said that if Huang Yusheng and his family weren't in a hurry, they could wait for six months until he had enough funds to liquidate before taking it out.

Huang Yusheng and his group would definitely not be fooled by a ruthless person like Qin Dong. Once the chips are transferred to Qin Dong's name, they will suddenly have another creditor, and it may take them eight or ten years to get this money back.

Even if you kill Qin Dong, it won't make a difference.

Therefore, after returning to the provincial capital, they planned to re-establish contact with Lin Lang and sell the property for 80 million.

However, before even contacting Lin Lang, they discovered the online buzz surrounding Tianjin Capital.

They hesitated for a moment, then the pace quickened until Monday...

Seeing dozens of stocks hit their daily limit down, they fell silent.

Actually, they can understand the market; today's market was driven by sentiment.

With Tianjin Capital's positions already fully invested, there's no way to stop the emotional sell-off.

Unless Shen An'an can guide the emotions again, however... Shen An'an's account is currently banned.

Even without a ban, if it happened again, the charge of maliciously manipulating the market would certainly be serious.

Huang Yusheng knew what would happen today from last night, which is why he hesitated.

Tianjin Capital is absolutely desperate this time.

The clearer one's understanding of the market situation, the more aware one is of the danger at that moment.

Once Tianjin Capital is gone, Lin Lang won't even have the right to sit down and talk to him.

"The only way to break the deadlock right now is for a large amount of capital to enter the market. However, the market has been killed by sentiment. Without retail investors entering the market, the major players are unlikely to make any moves. The fact that this game of musical chairs has reached this point already shows that Tianjin Capital has been involved."

"Brother, should we still look for Lin Lang?"

"Why are you looking for him? Looking at the whole thing, Lin Lang seems to be the lucky one. He clearly had the opportunity to clarify some statements in the market yesterday, but they didn't. Maybe they got carried away by their recent achievements and thought they could still control the situation. Tianjin Capital is finished this time! They have at least 10 billion yuan in their positions. At this rate of panic selling, it will at least hit the daily limit down for three consecutive days... And for that 10 billion yuan to come out, the price will have to drop even further. If they can get 2 billion yuan out in the end, that would be considered good."

Huang Yusheng is also a key player, and he understands the key players' thoughts very well.

Next, the major players in these stocks will definitely not take over easily; they will wait until Tianjin Capital has finished cutting its losses before making a move.

During the upward movement, the major players had already sold off some of their shares, so they could accept the stock price being driven to the floor.

……

In his office in the city, He Qiang was also talking to dozens of investors.

He addressed the projected screen, saying, "Everyone, I know you all want to withdraw now, but what I want to tell you is that we shouldn't withdraw at this time. Instead, we should increase our bets and enter the market."

Someone said, "President He, if we go in under these circumstances, aren't we just throwing money down the drain?"

He Qiang explained, "First of all, the market situation is quite complex, and I can't see through it either. I'm not advising everyone to invest from a professional perspective, so how the market moves is none of my business. Personally, I'm optimistic about Lin Lang. As you all know, Lin Lang is currently the second largest shareholder of Tianjin Capital, holding 40% of the shares. Based on my understanding of Lin Lang, he wouldn't be interested in acquiring so many shares unless it was a project he highly values."

The current situation may be unfavorable to him, but I still believe he has the ability to turn things around!

"President He, you have a good relationship with Lin Lang, so you can invest your own money. Why are you trying to persuade us? Our current returns aren't very high..."

These people only entered the market in the second week and have only made about 40 points so far.

Moreover, the amount of money they invested was not much, with the largest being only five or six million and the smallest only a little over one million.

The reason why we don't care about the losses caused by He Qiang's private equity is that, firstly, it is only a nominal loss and the equity is still there; secondly, He Qiang's business has been growing bigger and bigger recently, and many people can see his recent strength.

They felt it was worthwhile to maintain a good relationship with He Qiang.

After all, despite being trapped in the Tianshui duck industry with hundreds of millions of yuan, if you average out the risk, each of them only lost a little over two million yuan.

These investors are mostly worth over 30 million yuan. There are also other investors who don't own shares, whose net worth is generally over 10 million yuan. Otherwise, they wouldn't meet the threshold for entering the private equity industry.

For someone with a net worth of 30 to 50 million, losing more than 2 million is indeed painful, but it is far from being a serious financial blow.

"It's because I'm close to Brother Lin Lang that I know how amazing he is! Xincheng Pawnshop is what it is today because of a few casual remarks from Brother Lin Lang. He's different from us. We rack our brains to make money, but for Brother Lin Lang, making money is as easy as eating a meal! He was able to start from scratch and accumulate tens of millions in just a few months. He was able to manage Tianshui Duck Industry as a college graduate, and now he's directly investing in public funds, growing Tianjin Capital from zero to a scale of 20 billion in just half a month..."

Every step Brother Lin Lang has taken has far exceeded my expectations. I firmly believe that all of this is just the beginning for Brother Lin Lang.

Yan Li, everyone should know her. In addition to being the chairman of Tianjin Capital, she is also the daughter of the owner of Dingxin Investment. Such a person has come from Shanghai time and time again for Lin Lang. She has used a lot of sincerity to invite Brother Lin Lang over. For us, if we hadn't taken a certain advantage, we wouldn't even have the right to say a word to Brother Lin Lang in the future!
Therefore, this opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime chance for everyone. Brother Lin Lang is very sentimental and principled. Even though I know he definitely has a way to resolve this, as long as we help out out of consideration for his feelings, he will definitely remember our favor. When Brother Lin Lang comes back next time, I can invite everyone to have a meal and drinks together.”

After He Qiang finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and added, "Personally, I have already withdrawn 40 million yuan from Xincheng Pawnshop and injected it into the company. I will not touch the rest of the funds without your authorization. I am prepared to go all in on this 40 million yuan."

A young woman spoke up: "President He, you notified us to come to the meeting last night because you wanted the remaining money in the company, right? There are still nearly 300 million yuan in funds there..."

"Yes! I want to pool all the funds to help pry open a plank. However, my main goal is to borrow money from everyone. I hope you can lend me the 300 million yuan. Even if I lose it, I will slowly pay you back later." Seeing that he had been exposed, He Qiang quickly changed his story.

He Qiang dared to do this not only because he had great faith in Lin Lang, but also because... he really made a lot of money.

His wife's account balance has increased from 100 million to 200 million.

At Xincheng Pawnshop, things are going more and more smoothly, following Lin Lang's script. Many people across the country are buying used cars from them. Only half of the month has passed, and sales have already exceeded 30 million. They are aiming for 60 million in sales this month.

The confidence that industry gives him cannot be measured by hundreds of millions of dollars.

If these people are willing to share the risks with him, he will definitely consider them when there are benefits in the future. If they are not, he can grit his teeth and get by on his own.
